"Teacher, I think it's time to obtain my third soul ring. When will you be free?" Bai Zhou quickly changed the topic. After all, Xianlin'er would only need to investigate a little to understand this matter clearly.
"Hm, you just advanced yesterday. Do you need to stabilize your cultivation first?" Xianlin'er asked.
"No need. It's not too late to consolidate after advancing to Soul Master," Bai Zhou said with a smile.
"Good, then let's go now. We'll head to the Star Dou Great Forest." Seeing this, Xianlin'er nodded directly.
"Ah? So soon? Teacher, don't you need some preparation?" Bai Zhou was a little stunned. Could it be… this is what a Titled Douluo is like? So swift and decisive.
"Your teacher is a Titled Douluo. Going to and from the Star Dou Great Forest only takes half an hour. Finding a suitable soul beast for you will take at most another half hour. We can still be back in time for lunch. What preparation do I need?"
Xianlin'er puffed her chest slightly, finally having a chance to properly show off in front of her student.
After all, Bai Zhou had never once asked her about the Spirit Conductor; instead, it was she who had been shocked multiple times by Bai Zhou's talent.
Not only his Spirit Conductor cultivation, but even his Martial Soul cultivation exceeded her expectations.
From start to finish, she, as the teacher, could only provide some resources, which left her feeling frustrated. She thought she didn't quite deserve the title of Titled Douluo—it made her feel somewhat useless.
Now that Bai Zhou was about to obtain his third soul ring, she finally had a chance to shine and show off properly in front of her favorite disciple!
...
In less than half an hour, Xianlin'er had led Bai Zhou to the Star Dou Great Forest.
The only regret Bai Zhou had was that Xianlin'er merely held his hand the entire way, preventing him from enjoying her embrace…
"Still, Ma Xiaotao is better…" Bai Zhou thought to himself quietly.
"By the way, I remember you have two Martial Souls. Which one do you want to attach the soul ring to this time?" Xianlin'er suddenly remembered and asked.
Generally, when cultivating dual Martial Souls, one should first add a soul ring to one Martial Soul. Later, the second Martial Soul can be given a soul ring. With a strong constitution, the second Martial Soul's soul ring can reach a very high age.
But Bai Zhou's Martial Soul was a little special. His Wishing Tree Martial Soul was also recorded, had no combat power, no combat-supporting effect, and was basically a useless Martial Soul aside from being able to hold a soul ring. So all teachers reviewing Bai Zhou's data overlooked the Wishing Tree Martial Soul.
"No need to choose. I'll absorb both soul rings directly," Bai Zhou said lightly.
For ordinary people, this choice would be difficult.
If one first gave a soul ring to the Wishing Tree, the early stage would be weak and very difficult to cultivate. Later, after reaching Soul Saint, adding seven or eight soul rings of fifty or sixty thousand years to the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul would let it take off immediately.
If one chose the Blue Silver Emperor first, the early stage would be stronger, but the Blue Silver Emperor's upper limit would be fixed. Even if the Wishing Tree later absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring, it would only slightly increase spiritual power, with little improvement in combat strength.
Given Bai Zhou's current constitution and powerful spiritual force, absorbing two or three ten-thousand-year soul rings was effortless. With luck, he could absorb fifty- or sixty-thousand-year rings. The fourth soul ring could be a 100,000-year one.
However, soul beasts suitable for Bai Zhou's Blue Silver Emperor of seventy- or eighty-thousand-year soul rings were still relatively hard to find at this stage, especially since the Star Dou Great Forest had shrunk several times in size.
"That's right. With your constitution, absorbing an eight- or nine-thousand-year soul ring for the third ring would be no problem. Too bad you're only a Great Soul Master. Your spiritual force isn't enough to handle a ten-thousand-year soul ring," Xianlin'er said, smiling faintly, realizing her question had been a bit silly.
Bai Zhou's physical strength could handle a ten-thousand-year soul ring, but without sufficient spiritual force, absorbing a soul ring over ten thousand years would cause "spiritual shock." Only at the Soul Ancestor level could one resist a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
"No, eight or nine thousand years isn't enough. My third soul ring must be at least thirty thousand years," Bai Zhou shook his head lightly and explained.
"My Wishing Tree may be useless for combat, but it strengthens spiritual force. Combined with my constitution, absorbing a thirty- to forty-thousand-year soul ring is no problem."
Bai Zhou could not explain the "You Shen Yin" cultivation method, so he used the Wishing Tree as a cover.
"What? Your Wishing Tree has no combat or supportive abilities. How could it increase spiritual force?"
Xianlin'er was again greatly shocked, but still worried:
"Even if you can absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring, you should start with a ten-thousand-year one. Absorbing thirty- or forty-thousand-year soul rings is difficult. Only Soul Emperor-level spiritual force can do it safely. Even if your Wishing Tree can increase spiritual force, it couldn't possibly be this strong, right?"
As Bai Zhou's teacher, she had to be responsible. If he suffered an accident, it would be a loss for the entire Shrek Academy, and she would feel heartbroken.
"Don't worry, teacher. I know my limits." Bai Zhou smiled slightly and then released his spiritual force.
With his current spiritual force, he could slightly influence the outside world. With Xianlin'er's ability, she should be able to feel it clearly.
"What! Externalized spiritual force… How is your spiritual force this strong! Your Wishing Tree… what exactly is your Martial Soul?" Feeling that faint touch, Xianlin'er was dumbfounded once more.
The strength of this spiritual force was beyond ordinary Soul Kings, yet Bai Zhou was only a quasi-Soul Master…
Could this be the true power of the "Wishing Tree"?
The Wishing Tree sacrifices combat and support, focusing purely on increasing spiritual force. Achieving this effect might indeed make the Wishing Tree a super Martial Soul.
Of course, a Wishing Tree alone is useless.
But with a Wishing Tree as part of a dual Martial Soul, its support ability could be truly extraordinary!
"Teacher, just trust me~"
"Let's first get the Wishing Tree's third soul ring. The Wishing Tree has no soul skills, no attributes. You just need a high-aged soul beast. Attributes don't matter."
"Once I advance to Soul Master, I'll assign a soul ring to my Blue Silver Emperor. The third soul ring for the Blue Silver Emperor should preferably be offensive…"
Bai Zhou smiled, explaining his Martial Soul development plan.
As for future combat, it would remain primarily melee, with Martial Soul support.
No matter how strong the Blue Silver Emperor is, it's still limited by this world, reliant on soul ring age, external items, and has obvious weaknesses.
Every Martial Soul is imperfect, with flaws. That's why Soul Masters need classification and teamwork: agility, offense, support, food, healing…
The cultivation methods and martial arts produced by the system, however, are for self-strengthening, full development—complete hexagonal warriors. They can endure, fight, and last long. It's pure dimensional suppression.
