Chapter 22: Developing Self-Created Soul Skills?

The bottleneck of his mental power is not that his mental power is not enough to support him to move forward, but that his mental power is so strong that it is about to transcend the constraints of the body.
At this moment, Xu Yuan also roughly understood why Gu Yue’s mental power in the original novel was abnormal but seemed understandable in the early stage.
If the body is not fully developed, excessive mental strength may lead to accidents.
She finally chose to rebuild. Although it was very different from the rebuilding of an ordinary 100,000-year soul beast, her body was just a human body that had been fused with the blood of the Silver Dragon King.
The Silver Dragon King is not good at physical strength, so she did not show an extremely extraordinary physique in the early stage. However, her physical fitness is definitely always very exaggerated.
“If it weren’t for the limitation of my physical body, my mental strength should not be just 210 points in this year. 300 may not even be the limit.”
When Xu Yuan first awakened, his mental strength improved by leaps and bounds, increasing from 81 points to 99 points in the Tiandou City Blacksmith Association within a month. This was because he was stuck at a small bottleneck in the Lingtong Realm.
Although it may be a short period of rapid improvement brought about by the awakening of the martial soul, the improvement in pure numerical points should not decrease as the body develops and the level of mental strength increases.
It becomes more difficult to improve mental strength as time goes by. It doesn’t mean that if you can improve your mental strength by ten points a year in the Lingyuan realm, you can’t improve it by ten points in the Lingtong realm. It's just that ten points seem insignificant in the Lingtong realm. Even the same practice in the Lingtong realm may be enough to improve it by twenty or thirty points, but it is still insignificant.
“Physical fitness is still very important.” Xu Yuan knew that in the next few years of practice, improving physical fitness would be his most important goal.
Although his mental strength would always remain at the top level among his peers if he continued to practice normally, during the period of the Dragon king Legend, the excess of mental strength was the only achievement Xu Yuan could boast of.
“At least he has to reach the level of Gu Yue at the same age, so that he can compete with them in the end, right?” This is Xu Yuan’s judgment.
Moreover, the same age he gave here refers to the same age in the middle and late stages.
“Before I turn thirteen, my mental strength will surpass Gu Yue of the same age!”
Back to the topic.
Xu Yuan’s purpose of entering the Spirit Ascension Platform this time was very clear, which was to elevate the spirit and raise the Five Elements Spear Spirit to a thousand years old.
If we only consider the cost-effectiveness, increasing the age of the first soul at the first ring is the best choice, because at this time, the spiritual energy after killing the soul beast in the soul-raising platform is absorbed by one soul ring instead of being spread out.
However, during the Soul Master stage, the soul will be upgraded to a thousand years old, which means that the second ring will also be attached with a thousand-year soul ring from this soul.
Carrying two thousand-year spirit rings at level 20 places higher demands on the body than carrying one thousand-year spirit ring before level 20.
No, or rather, it is more than one level higher.
At level nineteen, all aspects of the body have been tempered to the extreme, and perhaps one can withstand the pressure of a thousand-year soul ring. However, it is only one level difference. After breaking through level twenty, one has to immediately obtain the second thousand-year soul ring, which is a hell-level difficulty.
Of course, if you let your imagination run wild, there seems to be a compromise, such as controlling the first soul after level 20 without adding a soul ring, fusing the second soul, a hundred-year soul, and controlling the second ring to a hundred years.
However, the premise of such an idea is that the mental power is sufficient to support the soul master to absorb a thousand-year soul and a hundred-year soul at the same time. This cannot be done in the Lingtong realm, and it requires the Linghai realm. The mental power and physical fitness of the Linghai realm are basically enough to withstand two thousand-year soul rings.
Therefore, brain holes can exist, but they can be falsified.
In terms of numerical values, we can always prove whether a conjecture is reasonable or not, and whether it can be realized.
This is math.
“My body has no problem with enduring a Thousand Year Spirit Ring. As for two Thousand Year Spirit Rings, that’s about the same.”
After all, Xu Yuan is a disciple of the leader of the Body Sect. He has consumed a lot of natural treasures to improve his physical fitness over the past year.
Mu Ye simply forbade him from using natural treasures to improve his soul power, but he did not say that he could not use natural treasures to improve his physical fitness.
Of course, most of the natural treasures will improve the physical fitness as well as the soul power. At this time, Mu Ye will use the secret method of his body, and he will perfectly exert the medicinal power while taking the natural treasures, and almost no of them will flow out into the soul power to improve the soul power.
After releasing his mental strength, Xu Yuan felt more relaxed than ever before.
“In this spiritual platform, my mental power seems to be unlimited.”
Due to the problem of his body’s carrying capacity, Xu Yuan’s mental power was limited in quantity. He could only compress his mental power as much as possible. This naturally made his mental power extremely exaggerated in terms of elemental control.
Xu Yuan guessed that this was the reason why Gu Yue’s elemental control exceeded the standard.
Now that he had entered the Spirit Ascension Platform, without the restraints of his body, Xu Yuan’s higher quality mental power spread out.
Without the restrictions of the container, the original high-quality mental power began to radiate and dilute freely.
“After returning, my mental power should be concentrated again. Experiencing these two processes multiple times may help me develop a method to train my mental power.”
Because the martial soul is the brain, Xu Yuan has a talent for research and also has the idea of developing his own skills. Among them, mental power and body tempering are the two areas he focuses on most.
Now he has inspiration in developing methods to enhance his spiritual power.
Xu Yuan’s face suddenly changed while he was thinking.
He jumped up quickly, holding the Tianyuan Brush and looking back.
Three huge fireballs exploded where he was originally. The air currents carried the flames in all directions, and three connected charred pits were blown out on the ground.
With his mental perception, Xu Yuan could vaguely see that behind the “sea of fire” formed by the explosion of the three fireballs, three flame lions had faintly surrounded him.
Suddenly, three fire lions pounced over, crossed the fire barrier, and rushed directly towards Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan had already noticed the three-headed fire lion with his spiritual power, but he was not panicked when dealing with it.
There are three fire lions, two large and one small. Even the smallest one seems to have cultivated for two hundred years. As for the two large fire lions, Xu Yuan roughly estimated that one is six hundred years old and the other is five hundred years old.
Outside, Xu Shengqun’s face also changed slightly. He didn’t expect that Xu Yuan would encounter such an attack as soon as he entered the Spirit Ascension Platform.
However, thinking of Xu Yuan’s practice results over the past year, he felt slightly relieved.
But I was still a little worried inside.
After all, cultivation is just cultivation, and whether you can apply what you have learned to actual combat is also the key.
Just watching through the screen, Xu Yuan remained calm and responded promptly, and his subsequent actions also made Xu Shengqun applaud.
Xu Yuan held the Tianyuan Brush, but did not transform it into the Tianyuan Spear form. Instead, he waved the Tianyuan Brush.
Water!
The Tianyuan Brush drew in the air, and the power of the water element gathered to form a huge stream of water.
In Xu Yuan’s hand, under the brush of the Tianyuan Brush, streams of water meandered from various tricky angles to completely block the path of the three-headed flame lion.
