Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

"If this hypothesis is correct, then as long as we find other ways to change the frequency of soul power, we can enable soul masters to break through their realms without hunting soul beasts."

"The process of a Soul Master absorbing a Soul Ring is the process of merging their own Soul Power with the Soul Power of the Soul Beast and then changing the frequency. This process can actually be done even when the Soul Beast is alive, as long as the Soul Beast cooperates enough."

"In other words, hunting soul beasts is not a necessary condition for a soul master's advancement. One can also gain the goodwill of a soul beast and make it voluntarily merge its soul power with the soul master. This can roughly explain the principle of soul beast sacrifice."

The sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast is the process of voluntarily giving everything of itself, including its cultivation and soul, to the soul master.

In Chen Feng's view, the process of sacrifice actually confirms his hypothesis about the frequency of soul power.

Why can a Soul Master disregard their cultivation level after a sacrifice, perfectly obtain a 100,000-year Soul Ring, and break through to the next level?

Because 100,000-year-old soul beasts have excellent soul power control abilities, they can reduce the frequency of their own soul power to merge with the soul master's, until it is reduced to a level that the soul master can just bear.

Therefore, even a level 10 Soul Master can obtain a 100,000-year Soul Ring or even a 1 million-year Soul Ring through Soul Beast sacrifice without dying.

For example, Huo Yuhao from Douluo Continent II.

Chen Feng speculated that the ability to control soul power should be a common characteristic of 100,000-year soul beasts, and may even be a necessary condition for 10,000-year soul beasts to grow into 100,000-year soul beasts.

Only those who can fully control the frequency of their soul power can advance to become a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

This explains why 100,000-year-old soul beasts can transform into humans, because their soul power control is extremely powerful, allowing them to change their own soul power frequency to a human frequency.

"No, this change should not be complete, so it is necessary to stay with humans for a long time to imitate them until one advances to the Soul Saint level before one can completely transform one's own soul power frequency."

This transformation should be irreversible, and those stronger than Contra should be able to detect this anomaly.

"It's connected! It's all connected! Chen Feng, you're a genius!"

Chapter 74 Model Building

Inside the room, Chen Feng couldn't help but slap the table in admiration at his own achievement.

For researchers, the ability to make bold hypotheses and carefully verify them is an essential quality.

Therefore, the typical research process involves boldly proposing multiple reasonable hypotheses, and then verifying them step by step until the one that best fits reality is found.

Now, Chen Feng's hypothesis about the frequency of soul power can perfectly explain most of the phenomena in the Douluo world, which shows that it is extremely close to the real laws, and may even be the truth.

Although this hypothesis has some problems, such as the advancement may not be just a change in the frequency of soul power, or the frequency of soul power may not be the frequency that Chen Feng knew in his previous life.

Regardless of the circumstances, Chenfeng has successfully established a theoretical model, achieving a breakthrough from zero to one.

With a theoretical model, he can explain many phenomena in the world and, based on that, develop the results he wants.

This continues until the theoretical model encounters unexplainable phenomena, necessitating a complete reconstruction.

Just as classical physics encountered a bottleneck, Einstein then proposed the theory of relativity.

However, before the theory of relativity was proposed, classical physics was the best tool that physicists at the time used to explore the world.

This tool is currently in Chen Feng's hands, and so far, no inexplicable phenomena have been encountered.

How could Chen Feng not be excited?

"Hey, how can there be someone as handsome and talented as me in this world?" He tossed his hair and started admiring himself.

But before he could enjoy his newfound fame for long, Chen Feng discovered a problem he had previously suspected.

"If we use the soul power frequency hypothesis to explain the transformation of soul beasts into humans, the frequency of soul beasts should be higher than that of humans, while the frequency of gods should not be in between."

"Because this cannot explain why soul beasts can transform into humans but cannot become gods. If we set the frequency of gods as Z, then a more reasonable explanation would be X < Y < Z..."

"That doesn't seem quite right either. If these three are simply related by size, then it means that humans would go through a frequency stage of soul beasts before becoming gods, or become soul beasts through cultivation, which doesn't make sense in reality."

"Whether it's the knowledge recorded by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family as described by the master, or the records in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's library, there are no cases of humans cultivating into soul beasts. Therefore, the frequencies of humans, soul beasts, and gods are likely not on the same line."

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, then drew three lines extending from a point on the paper, somewhat resembling the Mercedes-Benz logo, and also somewhat like the Chinese character "人" (person).

He wrote the word "God" at the top of the line, and then wrote "Human" and "Soul Beast" at the top of the two lines at the bottom left and bottom right.

"This model should be more realistic. Humans and soul beasts should not be on the same track, but both can enter the middle track through cultivation and eventually become gods."

He crossed out the line at the base of the soul beast and muttered to himself:

"However, the reason why soul beasts cannot become gods at this stage is that the intersection of the soul beast and god lines has been broken. Therefore, if a soul beast wants to become a god, it must first cultivate for 100,000 years, that is, come to the root of its own line, and then jump from its own line to the human line to start cultivating again."

"In addition, the angle between the human and soul beast lines should not be so large, otherwise it would not be so easy for a 100,000-year-old soul beast to become human. At least in the original work, there was never any accident when a 100,000-year-old soul beast became human. Once the cultivation level exceeds 100,000 years and enters 200,000 years, the soul beast basically loses the opportunity to become human."

"Unless you have some kind of fortuitous encounter or special ability, like the Yuki-onna in the second Douluo Continent era, it seems that the 'human' character model is not very accurate."

Chen Feng erased the "人" (person) character model on the paper, thought for a while, and then rewrote the character on the paper.

"eight".

He wrote the character "神" (god) at the top of the right stroke of the character "八" (eight), "人类" (human) at the bottom, and "魂兽" (soul beast) below the left stroke.

When a soul beast first enters the 100,000-year stage, it should be the closest it is to the bottom of the line of human, so at this time, as long as it is willing, it can easily transform into a human juvenile.

After 100,000 years, soul beasts will be further and further away from the bottom of the line between humans, making it difficult for them to transform into human juveniles again.

Furthermore, because soul beasts cannot become gods, their two strokes cannot be joined together. No matter how close their tips are, the final bit of distance is blocked by some special force.

Looking at the "eight" model he had constructed on the paper, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction.

He was certainly aware that the model might have some problems and might be far from reality, but at least at the current stage, the model was basically reasonable and self-consistent.

As for why it's the character "八" (eight) instead of "五" (five), it's probably because the character "五" (five) doesn't work.

Chen Feng put the draft on the table back into the Blood Sky. At this stage, this was basically all the results he could achieve.

To delve deeper into the essence of spirit rings and spirit power, he must wait until the next time he acquires a spirit ring before conducting experiments himself.

In addition, Tang San and Xiao Wu can also provide assistance in this regard.

Tang San has a biological martial soul, while Chen Feng has a weapon-type martial soul. These two encompass all types of martial souls, allowing for a more comprehensive experiment.

However, biological martial souls are just a concept proposed by Chen Feng himself. Plant martial souls may not really represent beast martial souls, so Xiao Wu is needed as a supplement.

In addition, Xiao Wu herself possesses the ability to condense her own soul ring. Chen Feng plans to find an opportunity to observe Xiao Wu's process of condensing her own soul ring next time in order to verify the correctness of his theory.

Today, he has only established a soul power model and used theory to explain the process and essence of soul master advancement. Experimentation is still needed to draw a final conclusion.

Furthermore, Chen Feng has not yet solved the problem of spirit rings. Even if his theory is correct, it only provides a way for spirit masters to advance, but the spirit skills within the spirit rings are another issue.

Chen Feng had a general understanding of the components of a spirit ring. First of all, the spirit power within a spirit beast's body was essential, as it could help a spirit master change their frequency.

Secondly, the soul of a soul beast is also part of a soul ring, but it is not a necessary component.

As for the others, Chen Feng will have to study them slowly.

"Phew, that's enough for today. I've learned a lot."

Chen Feng stood up, preparing to take a shower and go to bed, when suddenly everything went black and he collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

Chapter 75 I, Chen Feng, did not use cheats!

Inside the room, Chen Feng lay quietly on the bed, surrounded by a group of people.

"Grandpa Jian, what's wrong with Xiao Feng?" Ning Rongrong asked Chen Feng anxiously.

"He fainted because his energy and spirit were severely depleted, so Fengzhi's treatment was useless," Chenxin said.

"How did it come to this?" Ning Fengzhi put away the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. "I heard that Xiao Feng has been staying in the library these past few days. How could he have lost his energy and spirit?"

Chen Xin's expression was somewhat complicated. "My grandfather experienced this once before, when he broke through to level ninety-seven."

"Senior Chen Xun?" Ning Fengzhi asked in surprise, "Did you explain the specific reason?"

"My grandfather said that in addition to its ability to help people concentrate, the Ten Thousand Year Concentration Jade has another special function."

"That is to make it easier for the owner of the jade to touch the threshold of the Dao, but the price is the consumption of essence, energy and spirit, and even lifespan."

“The further the owner of the jade is from the threshold, the higher the price they have to pay. If it were me now, I’m afraid I’d risk my life and still not be able to reach the next level of swordsmanship,” Chen Xin said.

"The Dao?" Gu Rong was somewhat puzzled. "Does this have anything to do with Xiao Feng? He's only seven years old and is just a Soul Master."

“So I’m also very curious,” Chen Xin sighed softly, “How did he get himself into this state?”

"Grandpa Jian, could you please take Xiaofeng's jade pendant away? What if something like this happens again in the future? It might be dangerous then," Ning Rongrong said hurriedly.

"Yes, we really should confiscate Xiao Feng's jade pendant for now." Chen Xin took Chen Feng's jade pendant.

No, don't confiscate my jade pendant! Chen Feng tried hard to open his eyes.

He had heard everything that was said and knew that the feeling of inspiration flowing freely and bursting forth last night was brought about by the Ten Thousand Years Concentration Jade Pendant. He did not want to lose this magical jade pendant.

If he had this treasure in his past life, why did he only score 600 points on the college entrance exam?

For a researcher, this is an absolute treasure.

Although there are side effects, Chen Feng feels they are acceptable.

Just like CPU overclocking, overclocking once is fun, and overclocking all the time is even more fun.

As for the CPU lifespan loss caused by overclocking, who cares? Let's have fun first.

When Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes, Ning Rongrong was immediately overjoyed.

"He's awake, Dad, look, Xiaofeng is awake."

Ning Fengzhi's face came into Chen Feng's view. "Xiao Feng, how are you feeling?"

"I feel fine." Chen Feng's voice was a little hoarse. He looked at Chen Xin beside him, enduring his headache. "Master, could you please not take away my jade pendant? I really feel fine right now."

"Take a look in the mirror first. You say you're okay? You're barely alive now," Chen Xin said irritably.

Chen Feng was a little puzzled. It was just a slight overclock in his brain, it couldn't be that serious, could it?

However, when Ning Rongrong took out her small mirror and held it out to him, Chen Feng was immediately startled by his reflection.

His face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color, and his eyes were lifeless, revealing a deep weariness.

In addition, he also has two large dark circles under his eyes.

Those who knew him thought he was severely depleted of energy and spirit, but those who didn't might have thought he'd done too much handiwork the night before.

"So? Do you still want this jade pendant?" Chen Xin asked with a half-smile.

Chen Feng remained silent for a moment before speaking:

"want."

"I won't give it to you even if you want it." Chen Xin put the jade pendant away in an annoyed tone. "I'm afraid you'll end up killing yourself one day."

He was counting on Chen Feng to carry on the Chen family line, and he was almost a hundred years old when he finally found such a disciple, so he couldn't let this broken jade pendant ruin him.

"Master, I promise..."

"Your promises are useless. Get yourself well first," Chen Xin said, unmoved.

Chen Feng was somewhat helpless; it seemed that he wouldn't be able to get the jade pendant back for the time being.

"Xiao Feng, what exactly were you doing last night?" Ning Fengzhi asked curiously from the side.

No matter how you look at it, Chen Feng has nothing to do with the "Dao".

"I...I'm researching the reclassification of Soul Master roles," Chen Feng told a little lie.

Although his hypothesis last night was constructed with the blessing of the jade pendant, and the name "Dao" was quite impressive, the lack of verification still made Chen Feng unsure.

Besides, that hypothesis contains a lot of physics concepts; let's think of a better explanation later.

"A reclassification of Soul Master roles?" Ning Fengzhi asked, somewhat puzzled. "Is there anything wrong with the current classification of Soul Masters?"

Moreover, does this thing have anything to do with "Tao"?

"It's too general and vague. I plan to create a new classification system so that all Soul Masters can clearly understand their own path and fully utilize the potential of their chosen path," Chen Feng said.

"This is a huge project!" Ning Fengzhi said in surprise.

If you put it that way, it does seem to have a bit of the "Tao" flavor.

The doubts in Chen Xin's eyes dissipated somewhat, and he felt that such a grand matter could also be called "the Way".

"It's quite tiring, but I'm almost done with this work. I'll show it to Uncle Ning later," Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Alright, then I'll wait." Ning Fengzhi reached out and tucked Chen Feng's blanket in. "But don't think about this for the next couple of days. Let's continue after you've recovered your energy."

"Okay, Uncle Ning," Chen Feng replied obediently, though what he was really thinking remained a mystery.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi preparing to leave, he remembered the dispersion experiment they had agreed on the previous night and quickly said:

"Uncle Ning, could you help me prepare something?"
