Chapter 173 - Chapter 173 No Dating, One Final Step

"Hmph~, this Ning Fengzhi sure has a lot of little schemes."

Watching the figure quickly disappear from her sight, Xiao Wu gave a cold snort and complained about the guy.

"True, he has many little schemes, but his character is alright."

Yu Yan nodded in agreement, acknowledging Ning Fengzhi's schemes while also confirming his character.

"So, Yu Yan, do you have any thoughts?"

Hearing Yu Yan's words, Xiao Wu looked at him and waited for his answer with a beaming smile.

"Minors shouldn't date. I only came to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to read books."

With just one sentence, Yu Yan ended the conversation... The next day, led by Ning Rongrong, Yu Yan and Xiao Wu arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Library Pavilion.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Library Pavilion was the largest Library Pavilion Yu Yan had seen so far; not only did it cover a vast area, but it also had a full nine floors.

According to Ning Rongrong, the reason the Library Pavilion was built with nine floors was that the ancestors who built it hoped their descendants could research a way to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Unfortunately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was simply too stable, and they had never found a way to evolve the Spirit.

Yu Yan naturally knew the method to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's help was needed in the future, or if he received too much favor from them, he would naturally present an Immortal Herb as compensation.

Having also read the medicinal herb classics and knowing the effects of the qiluo tulip, Xiao Wu suddenly understood why Yu Yan would so freely enjoy Ning Fengzhi's care. As long as those two Immortal Herbs were brought out, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might even end up owing Yu Yan a favor.

Entering the Library Pavilion, Yu Yan went straight to the area where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School kept its spirit power research. After a quick scan, he picked up a book titled "Conjectures on the Essence of Spirit Power" and began reading.

After finishing the prologue, Yu Yan was surprised to find that this book was actually written by a Rank 96 Titled Douluo.

The book recorded in detail this Titled Douluo's understanding of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, spirit power, and humanity itself.

While Yu Yan went to read, Xiao Wu didn't choose to read a travelogue. She wandered around the Library Pavilion, wanting to see what kind of books were there and how many.

Ning Rongrong, who didn't like reading, looked at Yu Yan who was immersed in his book without saying a word, and then at Xiao Wu who was wandering around the Library Pavilion. After thinking for two seconds, she chose to go chat with Xiao Wu.

Last night, Ning Fengzhi had pulled Ning Rongrong aside to chat for quite a while, the gist of which was his hope that she could bring Yu Yan and Xiao Wu into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Yu Yan, want something to eat?"

While reading, Yu Yan felt someone tap his shoulder, and a plate of fragrant food was placed in front of him.

"Hmm?"

Turning his head, Yu Yan saw Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong standing beside him.

————————————

In the original setting of "Douluo Continent II: The Unrivaled Tang Sect," the Heavenly Dream Ice Worm's slough (the million-year-old shell it shed) is a Law-grade material with both Divine Rank defense and mental augmentation. Its uses strictly follow the original logic as follows:

I. Physical Level: Absolute Defense Barrier

1. Immunity to physical attacks below Divine Rank

Original description (when Huo Yuhao absorbed the slough):

"The fiber density of the slough exceeds a stellar core; any form of attack is refracted by space upon contact." (Chapter 168)

Test cases:

Rank 98 Taotie Douluo Elder Xuan's full-strength strike left only a white mark. (Chapter 316)

No damage from Rank 9 Stationary spirit tool Cannon bombardment. (Sun Moon Empire experimental records)

2. Energy Diversion Characteristics

Converts 70% of attack energy into mental force to nourish the host (the remaining 30% is refracted by space).

Limitation: Ineffective against Divine Rank rule-based attacks (e.g., Tang San's Sea God Trident ignores defense).

II. Mental Level: Wisdom God Pedestal

1. Million-year mental Origin carrier

Functional effects based on the original work:

Mental Network: Expands Divine Sense coverage area by 100x (Huo Yuhao covering the Douluo Star). Chapter 421, Starry Sky Detection Experiment.

Memory Bank: Records and stores trillions of bytes of information (Tianmeng's lifelong knowledge Legacy). Description of the data stream during Tianmeng's sacrifice.

Divine Thought Filtering: Blocks Rakshasa God Divine Thought detection (99.9% interception rate). Yin Yang Love Valley incident.

2. Cross-Plane Communication Relay Station

slough powder made into a "Starry Realm Compass," achieving one-way communication between the God Realm and the Human Realm (Tang San contacting Huo Yuhao).

Cost: 1 kg of slough consumed for every character transmitted (total amount only 10 tons).

III. Core Uses (Explicitly stated in the original work)

Huo Yuhao's Foundation for becoming a god

Second Sea of Consciousness Carrier:

The slough carries the Heavenly Dream Ice Worm's Soul, preventing its million-year mental body from exploding Huo Yuhao's brain. (Chapter 185)

Spirit Soul Covenant Medium:

Electrolux uses the slough fibers to complete the solidification of the "Spirit Soul Law." (Chapter 292)

Divine Marrow Fusion Agent:

Harmonizes the conflict between the Ice Empress Torso Bone + Snow Empress Spirit Soul (slough melts energy opposition).

Douluo Continent Scientific Research Challenges

Virtue Hall Analysis Report (Chapter 335):

slough contains "asymmetric spatial folds," which Rank 9 spirit tools cannot cut.

Briefly softens (3 seconds) after soaking in Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, then immediately regains hardness.

Sea God Pavilion Conclusion: Cannot be utilized without Divine Rank power (except for Fusion outside Huo Yuhao's body).

IV. Undeveloped Potential (Original foreshadowing)

Plane Channel Building Material:

Tang San mentioned that "the slough's spatial attributes can repair God Realm cracks." (Ending Chapter)

God King-level Mental Defense Armor:

The God of Destruction believes that "if there were a God King-level craftsman, a heart-protecting mirror could be made to resist a God King's mental force."

Universe-level Detection Network:

Tianmeng envisioned scattering slough powder into the starry sky to construct a cross-galaxy mental radar (requires God King support).

Analysis of the Setting's Essence

The Million Year slough is actually a "Heavenly Dao Fragment of a low-dimensional Universe":

Defense Logic: Its fibers are embedded with spatial Laws that automatically execute programs (not an energy shield).

Mental Augmentation: Carries the Universe vacuum memories accumulated by Tianmeng while frozen for a million years.

Uniqueness: Under the restrictions of the Universe's will, only one million-year Spirit Beast is allowed to cocoon in the same plane.

Therefore, within the Douluo system, it is both Huo Yuhao's "cheat component" and a "Civilization Observer Archive" that balances the Laws of the Universe, far exceeding the dimensions of ordinary Spirit Beast Materials.

V. Core Value of the Soul Core

Energy Hub: Replaces the Dantian to store spirit power, increasing the total amount by 5-10 times.

Automatic Recovery: The Soul Core autonomously absorbs Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi (recovery speed x3).

Domain Foundation: Provides energy for the Martial Soul True Body/Domain (e.g., Huo Yuhao's Eternal Frozen Domain).

II. Three Major Types of Soul Cores and Cultivation Conditions

Type, Applicable Subjects, Prerequisites

Mental Soul Core, Mental-type Spirit Masters (Huo Yuhao), 1. mental force ≥ Peak Spirit Abyss Realm

2. Head Spirit Bone

Blood Qi Soul Core, Power Attack/Defense-type (Xuan Zi), 1. Hundred Thousand Year Torso Bone

2. Blood spirit power transformation (requires Golden Body Secret Technique)

Elemental Soul Core, Attribute Specialization (Ma Xiaotao), 1. Ultimate Attribute Control

2. Corresponding Elemental Spirit Bone

III. Core Cultivation Steps (Taking Huo Yuhao as an example)

Stage 1: Energy Compression (Rank 70-89)

spirit power Purification:

Execute a Cultivation Technique (such as the Mysterious Heaven Skill) to purify liquid spirit power to "Spirit Power Crystal Thread" density (1 strand of crystal thread = 10 times the spirit power).

Dantian Furnace:

Construct a spirit power vortex in the Dantian (diameter ≥ 30 cm), using centrifugal force to separate spirit power Impurities (failure results in destroyed Meridians).

Stage 2: Spatial Anchoring (Key Breakthrough at Rank 90)
