Chapter 169: The Heavens of Douluo Continent Are About to Change!
"Father, Elder Dugu, Uncle Lin"
After verifying and realizing his conjecture about Soul Rings, Yu Xiaogang smiled as he looked at the three people meditating not far away: Yu Yuanzhen.
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's call, the three awoke from their meditation.
"Finished researching?"
Yu Yuanzhen glanced at the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth that couldn't be suppressed, rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation.
From the expression alone, he could tell that his son had discovered something again.
So he was very much looking forward to it.
"Yes, the research is finished."
"Father, Elder Dugu, Uncle Lin, from now on, the heavens of Douluo Continent are about to change."
Yu Xiaogang sighed with emotion.
And indeed, they were about to change.
Soul Rings could store Soul Power, and when activated, they would first consume the Soul Power within the Soul Rings.
This discovery, for the Martial Soul system of Douluo Continent, was on a level akin to the heavens and earth transforming.
This meant that from now on, the Soul Power of Soul Masters on Douluo Continent would be many times more abundant.
Every Soul Master possessed numerous Soul Rings. If all these Soul Rings were filled with stored Soul Power, plus the Soul Power within the Soul Master's own body...
Doubling the total amount of Soul Power within a Soul Master would be a simple matter.
Doubling it!
For a Soul Master advancing from Rank 95 to Rank 96, aside from physical fitness and mental strength, a mere twenty percent increase in Soul Power could already create a huge gap.
Doubling it?
Wouldn't it be possible for a future Rank 91 Titled Douluo to chase after a Rank 95 Titled Douluo?
Just imagine, starting with your ninth Soul Skill and then unleashing several more in a row—wouldn't that be terrifying?
"The heavens of Douluo Continent are about to change?"
"Xiaogang, what have you discovered?"
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Yu Yuanzhen's heart began to pound wildly.
His son was not someone lacking in experience; he had even seen hundreds of Soul Bones piled up like a mountain.
For such a Yu Xiaogang to say that the heavens of Douluo Continent were about to change, in Yu Yuanzhen's view, his son must have discovered something that could redefine Soul Masters.
Beside him, Dugu Bo also looked at Yu Xiaogang with anticipation.
He hadn't forgotten that Yu Xiaogang had initially discussed the issues with his own Martial Soul with him before falling into thought.
So, could the Young Sect Master's discovery solve the drawbacks of his family's Martial Soul?
Under the gaze of the three, Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath.
"Father, just now, I exchanged views with Elder Dugu on why the Jade Phosphor Serpent, as a Soul Beast, doesn't poison itself, while the Jade Phosphor Serpent, as a Martial Soul, suffers backlash from its own toxins."
"I pondered the differences between Soul Beasts and Soul Masters, and then thought of Soul Rings."
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang manipulated his First Soul Ring to float before him.
"We've always treated Soul Rings as mere triggers for Martial Soul Abilities, or as decorations beyond that."
"But the problem is, before we absorb Soul Rings, they store the Soul Power of the Soul Beast, and Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings even contain Spiritual Power."
"We absorb the Soul Power within the Soul Rings, and then absorb the Soul Rings themselves."
"This is like receiving a box of pastries; after getting the box, we eat the pastries."
"Then we leave the remaining box sitting there as a decoration."
"But clearly, the box can be used to store things."
Silence. After Yu Xiaogang's words fell, the scene fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone's mouths hung open, their eyes wide, looking at Yu Xiaogang in disbelief.
Yu Xiaogang's words, along with his example, made it very easy for the three present to understand what he was saying.
Yet precisely because they understood, they found it incredible.
Yes, before absorption, Soul Rings clearly stored so much Soul Power; when absorbing that Soul Power, each of them had been tormented to the brink of death.
Then, after the Soul Rings were fully absorbed, the Soul Rings belonged to them.
After that, the Soul Rings became mere triggers for Martial Soul Abilities, usually serving as decorations for Soul Masters.
Clearly, before absorption, Soul Rings could store Soul Power, so why after absorption had no one thought of this?
"Gulp!"
Swallowing hard, Yu Yuanzhen felt his throat was extremely dry.
"Xiaogang, since you say this, it means..."
"That's right, I've already verified it!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice rang out firm and resolute.
"I tried injecting the Soul Power from my body into the Soul Ring without activating the Soul Skill. After a while, the Soul Ring began storing my Soul Power."
"After storing Soul Power in the Soul Ring, I could close the channel for inputting Soul Power at any time, using the Soul Ring purely as a tool for storing Soul Power."
"Then, after restoring the Soul Power in my body to Perfection, I would possess double the Soul Power reserves."
Glancing at his father, whose mouth had dropped open again, and at Dugu Bo and Lin Lang not far away, whose mouths had never closed, Yu Xiaogang grinned.
"And at this point, if I then use a Soul Skill, it first consumes the Soul Power stored in the Soul Ring."
"The Soul Power in the body's meridians remains completely untouched."
"When the Soul Power in the body is consumed, by opening the channel of the Soul Ring, Soul Power returns from the Soul Ring to my body, replenishing the Soul Power I've used."
"In other words, from now on, we will carry several backup warehouses storing large amounts of Soul Power with us at all times."
"Simply doubling the total amount of Soul Power is completely feasible."
The total amount of Soul Power, simply doubled...
The total amount of Soul Power, doubled...
Doubled...
After hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, these few words kept echoing in the minds of Yu Yuanzhen and the other two.
A wave of intense dizziness swept through their brains, making the three somewhat unsteady on their feet.
Doubling the total amount of Soul Power—this was doubling it!
Although a Soul Master's specific combat prowess isn't entirely determined by the total amount of Soul Power.
But during each battle, how many Martial Soul Abilities can be unleashed depends on the total amount of Soul Power.
Doubling the total amount of Soul Power means that battles which previously required careful planning can now be fought with abandon.
Ultimate moves don't need to be saved for the most critical moments; in a single battle, they can unleash their ultimate moves several times.
As for lower-Rank Martial Soul Abilities, they can be released without any hesitation.
What allocation of Soul Power consumption during battle?
Fighting an opponent of the same level, with double the Soul Power of others, what need is there for careful planning?
Go talk to my ultimate move!
It could be said that Yu Xiaogang's discovery truly was, as he said, about to change the heavens of Douluo Continent.
And indeed, it did change Douluo Continent.
After Yu Xiaogang revealed his discovery, the Black World erupted with a bang.
