Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Yu Xiaogang's Insightful Theories as a "Master"

For example, Bibi Dong, who has just become Pope of the Spirit Hall, even had her play a secret room game with Pope Qian Xunji, although the consequences were a little serious.

"Hello, Teacher Xu!" As a good kid from the 21st century, politeness is a must!

"Little friend Wang Teng, please guide me in the future!"

Afterwards, Wang Teng prepared to start his journey into the ocean of knowledge. Of course, Wang Chong next to him was just there to make up the numbers.

Fortunately, both Wang Teng and Wang Chong were literate. Wang Teng already knew how to read, after all, the characters in Douluo Continent were similar to those in his previous life, while Wang Chong learned them under his father's iron fist.

"First, let's learn about the 'Ten Core Competencies of Spirit' published by the famous Douluo Continent figure, Master Yu Xiaogang."

'That scumbag 'Master Yu's' theories?' Wang Teng had read the original work and knew that some of the points were correct, but some were just nonsense.

"First, where does a Martial Soul come from?

A Soul Master's Martial Soul is inherited from their bloodline. That is to say, children inherit the Martial Soul from one of their parents through blood relations. And in most cases, they will inherit the stronger Martial Soul from the parent.

Of course, occasionally there are Martial Soul mutations, but similarities can always be found."

Wang Teng nodded, agreeing with this point. This could effectively guard against neighbour, unless neighbour's Martial Soul was also of the same type.

However, this point is common knowledge, so there's no need for him to draw a conclusion, right?

"Second, Innate Soul Power. Only when a Martial Soul awakens and accompanied by Soul Power can such a person cultivate and have the possibility of becoming a Soul Master.

Whether or not innate Soul Power is generated is related to the quality of the awakened person's Martial Soul, and the strength of innate Soul Power is mostly proportional to the quality of the Martial Soul."

This point is partly correct and partly incorrect. It is true that only those who awaken innate Soul Power can cultivate the Soul Master system, but the causal relationship between innate Soul Power and Martial Soul Power is confused.

It is that the higher the level of innate Soul Power, the higher the quality of the Martial Soul. It's not that the higher the quality of the martial soul, the higher the innate soul power.

After all, in the original story, Tang San awakened the Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer, which carried the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor, because he had cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill since childhood.

If we follow Yu Xiaogang's theory, wouldn't Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill have been wasted?

Moreover, there's a living example: Yu Xiaogang's martial soul—Luo Sanpao—was essentially mutated into the Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul, but Yu Xiaogang's talent was lacking, with an innate soul power of only 0.5.

Such a weak innate soul power was simply insufficient to support the Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul; poor Luo Sanpao could only become a pig.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng silently felt sorry for Luo Sanpao. A dignified Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul reduced to a pig that only knows how to fart—what a pity!

If it were a genius with high innate soul power, the name of the Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul would definitely resound throughout the continent!

"The third point is hard work. There are no useless spirit souls, only spirit masters who don't work hard at cultivation."

Wang Teng strongly disagreed with this point. Could an ordinary Blue Silver Grass spirit soul, without any special advantages, become a Title Douluo-level Blue Silver Grass spirit master? That's utterly toxic positivity!

It should be changed to "There are no useless spirit souls, only useless spirit masters! "

If one's innate spirit power is off the charts, even a spirit soul that's a pile of dog shit will still be incredibly powerful!

"Teacher Xu, are there really no useless spirit souls?" Wang Teng couldn't help but interrupt.

"Uh... this..." Xu Yue was stumped by Wang Teng's question and couldn't speak, feeling awkward.

"Alright, let's skip this one, next!" Seeing Xu Yue's embarrassment, Wang Teng didn't press the matter further and skipped it.

"Hmm... the fourth point is spirit rings and spirit souls. Plant spirit souls can absorb animal spirit beasts, and vice versa."

Wang Teng felt that this point was pointless. He refused to believe that among so many spirit masters on the Douluo Continent, no one had discovered this point. That 's impossible.

Besides, a Soul Master with a Weapon Soul wouldn't possibly seek out a weapon-possessed Soul Beast, right? Weapon Soul Masters can absorb Soul Rings from both animal and plant-type Soul Beasts, but plant-type Soul Masters can't? That's illogical!

It's just that all the major Soul Master factions know that plant-type Soul Masters can evolve their Soul by simply absorbing plant-type Soul Rings, and once their Soul Power level is high enough, so they've always absorbed plant-type Soul Beasts.

Yu Xiaogang is completely overstating things. In the original story, if Tang San hadn't had a cheat code, his Blue Silver Emperor Soul would have been ruined for life.

"Fifth point, bottlenecks and cultivation. Soul Ring bottlenecks don't prevent a Soul Master's Soul Power from increasing; it just means they can't enter the next level without the guidance of a Soul Ring.

Cultivating at the current level, while unable to break through levels, still retains the cultivated Soul Power, which will naturally manifest after obtaining a Soul Ring."

This is also nonsense. If you can obtain a Soul Ring, why not acquire one instead of staying at the bottleneck and cultivating endlessly?

You must know that Soul Masters have a golden age for cultivation. The speed of soul power cultivation is fastest during adolescence. If it's delayed too long, wouldn't that be a waste of talent?

Moreover, high-level soul masters cultivate soul power faster than low-level ones; no fool would do that!

"Sixth, Soul Ring Age Limits. Each soul master realm has a maximum age limit for absorbing soul rings.

The first soul ring's age limit is 423 years, the second is 764 years, the third is 1760 years, the fourth is 5000 years, the fifth is 12000 years, the sixth is 20,000 years, the seventh is 50,000 years, the eighth is less than 100,000 years, and the ninth is 100,000 years."

This is even more absurd. Can't the first soul ring be 424 years? Yu Xiaogang only drew this conclusion after statistically analyzing the recorded ages of the various soul rings of different soul masters. Doesn't he know that geniuses exist in this world?

However, these maximum ages for various soul rings can still serve as a reference for ordinary soul masters.

"Seventh, how to obtain soul bones. Soul bones are the most precious treasures in the world of soul masters, and their allure is absolutely fatal to every soul master. However, soul bones are extremely rare, and the drop rate is extremely low.

As long as a soul beast is willing to become a soul master's soul ring, then regardless of the soul beast's cultivation level, it will bring the soul master a soul bone.

In addition, if a soul beast dies while suffering extreme torment and resentment, the chance of it dropping a soul bone will be greatly increased."

Look at this, is this something a human would do? You kill soul beasts, no one will say anything, after all, soul rings are essential for a soul master to advance, but why torture and kill soul beasts? Did those soul beasts eat your rice? But there are people like Tang San who will do so while shouting "Evil Beast".
