"Teacher, it's through the Soul Spirit Technique that the absorbed soul ring becomes orange."
In the history of Douluo Continent, there have been Fierce Beasts over two hundred thousand years old whose soul rings were absorbed, but there has never been an orange soul ring.
Fierce Beasts are, strictly speaking, soul beasts that have survived two hundred thousand years of Celestial Tribulation.
Some soul beasts that do not transform after one hundred thousand years and survive a millennium of Celestial Tribulation are on the path to becoming a Fierce Beast, but they are still considered under the category of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
As for Fierce Beasts, two hundred thousand years is the threshold, but truly powerful Fierce Beasts are tens of thousands of years old.
The Top Ten Fierce Beasts is a title given to the ten strongest individuals among the fierce beasts known to humans.
"Your Soul Spirit Technique is indeed very useful for Soul Guides.
With the presence of a soul spirit, Soul Masters can better control their Soul Skills.
In fact, some compatible soul spirits can significantly increase combat strength."
However, the probability of widespread use is low.
The conditions for a soul spirit contract are too demanding.
It's not that the array can't be portrayed well, but rather the cooperation required from the soul beast is the hardest to achieve.
Absorbing a soul spirit requires the consent of the soul beast, which greatly increases the chances of success.
Otherwise, if you gamble and forcefully absorb it, even if you succeed, the soul spirit is unlikely to care about the Soul Master.
Only someone like Su Yu, who catches bugs in the soul beast's lifespan, has hope of persuading the soul beast to become his soul spirit.
Moreover, one's talent must be extraordinary.
Kong Deming knows that whether it's the Thunderous Yanyu Vine or Blue Silver Emperor, the most fundamental reason they became Su Yu's soul spirit is Su Yu's talent.
A talent sufficient for divinity.
Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, no matter how much longer you can keep me alive, why should I care about you?
Especially the Blue Silver Emperor; without Su Yu's plan to suppress cultivation, it could have survived at least another century.
Even if harmed during the last Celestial Tribulation, it could have continued to eke out an existence for several hundred years.
If there's no possibility of divinity, reaching the Extreme Douluo stage would only last a few hundred years, and being bound as a soul spirit would have no meaning.
"Indeed, if the Soul Spirit Technique is to be truly widespread, powerful figures on the soul beast side would likely have to establish order, otherwise even dying soul beasts wouldn't have the spirit of sacrifice."
I'm about to die so might as well become a soul spirit to extend my life for a few more years? It doesn't hold that much significance, right?
Even a hundred years is a brief moment in the soul beast's perspective.
As for becoming a soul ring so that more compatriots aren't hunted...
Most soul beasts do not have such a selfless spirit.
Only the Beast God Di Tian, standing at the pinnacle of soul beasts, would consider it; among soul beasts, it's more about the survival of the fittest.
...
With the enhancement of Intermediate Battle Armor, Su Yu possessed the strength of Soul Douluo, which also meant he was capable of creating Eighth-level Soul-guiding Devices.
With extraordinary comprehension, he had absolute advantages in understanding Soul-guiding Theory.
His entire system now was based on the Core Array of Soul-guiding Devices.
Thus, advancing to the realm of a Soul Guide was the most important.
"What? You want to advance to Eighth-level Soul Guide?"
Mirror Hongchen looked at the application for rare material allotment in his hand in shock.
He looked at the youthful face of the person in front of him, not yet fifteen, and felt it was utterly absurd.
"Hall Master, my rare metal allotment is insufficient.
I remember Mingde Hall has a benefit where, upon first advancing to a higher level Soul Guide, one can apply for some rare metals."
Mirror Hongchen twitched at the corner of his mouth.
He thought not long ago that Su Yu's rare metal allotment was already extremely substantial, generally not needing to worry about a shortage.
Yet only a year after the Soul Fighting Competition, Su Yu already used up his rare metal supply.
He even accounted for the rare metal quota he was supposed to receive this year, using up all the rare metals.
But the results were stunning.
This consumption of rare metals resulted in Su Yu's proficient production skills and the realm of Seventh-level Soul Guide.
Now, Su Yu even had the qualifications to advance to Eighth-level Soul Guide!
Mirror Hongchen considered Su Yu to be serious in advancing to the realm of Eighth-level Soul Guide, with a high probability of success.
It's just unknown how much time it would consume.
But even succeeding within a year, Su Yu would definitely break the record of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Moreover——
Mirror Hongchen mourned for his grandson struggling to breakthrough the Seventh-level Soul Guide realm.
So miserable!
"Do you need the theory of Eighth-level Soul Guide provided?"
Mirror Hongchen routinely asked.
With the inheritance of Kong Deming, strict guidelines were not necessary, but many Soul Guides advancing to higher realms may not always have such support.
Mingde Hall has a humane approach here.
They're willing to offer this to you, but you have to pay off the debt through work after succeeding.
And you must not share it externally.
Su Yu not accepted this application.
After all, for those with the qualifications to gain higher-level Soul-guide Theory, it would be more costly to obtain it from Mingde Hall.
This application is more to provide opportunities for those without qualifications.
"A ton of rare metal allotment, that's my limit for you."
Su Yu held many titles, being Kong Deming's disciple, a record holder for many Soul Guide achievements in the Sun and Moon Empire, and director of a research institute.
Plus, he also participated in the development of Armor Technology and was the true founder of Battle Armor.
Mirror Hongchen applied for a ton of rare metals for him.
Even if used for practicing Battle Armor creation, it would be more than enough.
Su Yu took the decree from Mirror Hongchen's hand.
"Hall Master, do you have any other matters?"
He noticed that Mirror Hongchen seemed hesitant.
Being questioned by Su Yu, Mirror Hongchen simply expressed his request: "Xiaoyu, you know that Yuhao possesses Ultimate Ice. Although I am his teacher, the assistance I can provide in this aspect is limited."
After Huo Yuhao became a disciple, besides receiving plenty of elixirs and medicinal baths, he did not get much effective cultivation guidance from Mirror Hongchen.
Mirror Hongchen felt that the gap in level advancement between Huo Yuhao and Su Yu was due to the disparity between himself and Kong Deming.
"Hall Master, you don't need to worry too much. The advancement of Extreme Attributes is indeed difficult; even for me, it's influential."
If not for the extreme attributes, Su Yu would conservatively at Level 70 now.
Of course, without the attribute of Ultimate Life, Su Yu's numerous opportunities might not have been entirely grasped.
It can be said that there are gains and losses.
"If we're really talking about quickly overcoming the accumulation period for Extreme Martial Soul, perhaps you could have Yuhao try breaking limits."
The correct cultivation for Extreme Martial Soul, besides slowly enduring and actively gathering Soul Power, can also allow rapid growth through breaking limits.
Su Yu actually chose this path.
Given the slow increase in Soul Power, he had more time for Body Forging to enhance himself holistically.
"Absorbing soul rings beyond levels and completely refining the soul ring's Soul Power can at least increase Soul Power by Third-level, allowing each soul ring's absorption to shorten cultivation time by at least a year."
Mirror Hongchen twitched at the mouth.
One soul ring, increasing Soul Power by Third-level?
Especially for the extreme attribute's Soul Power?
You're not joking, are you?
Mirror Hongchen remembers clearly when he brought Su Yu to absorb the Ten-thousand-year Mutated Sword Grass.
Goodness, Level 40 absorbing fifteen-thousand-year soul ring resulted in just one level increase.
Moreover, at that time, it barely broke through to the Level 41 threshold.
"Hall Master, you just need to teach Yuhao as such; of course, emphasizing the safety is crucial."
"Additionally, regarding Yuhao's situation, I think he should quickly attempt the second awakening of his Spiritual Eyes."
Extreme attribute's Soul Power is challenging to cultivate due to the Martial Soul's passive compression.
However, Huo Yuhao possesses Twin Martial Souls, if both Martial Soul qualities are high, then the passive effect should be good.
The cultivation technique will also have a stronger Soul Power gathering effect.
Though Spiritual Eyes have extraordinary potential, before awakening, they are indeed insufficient.
Mirror Hongchen nodded, narrowing his eyes, pondering how to aid Huo Yuhao's second awakening.
