Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

Even as times develop and progress, the significance of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring to a soul master remains unchanged. At most, it's that, building upon the foundation of the hundred-thousand-year soul ring, many other equally precious pursuits have emerged.

Beyond the eight soul rings, above the Milky Way, starlight gathers, stained with countless blood-red threads.

The blood-red starlight outlines and forms a massive halo.

Once the halo takes shape, it begins to shrink, eventually condensing into a soul ring that settles outside the original eight.

Six black, three red!

Zhang Huanyun takes a deep breath.

This soul ring configuration is among the most top-tier in the entire continent.

Even renowned top experts struggle to meet this standard.

Yet, Xu Yuan has achieved it.

Keep in mind that he hasn't even fully matured!

Moreover, this is Xu Yuan's primary martial soul!

For twin martial souls, the second martial soul can have a very high configuration, but the first martial soul's configuration is usually difficult to maximize, especially in the Soul Spirit Era.

However, Xu Yuan not only seems to possess three martial souls but has also maxed out the configuration of at least two of them.

Yu Guanzhi personally witnessed that Xu Yuan's spear martial soul has seven hundred-thousand-year soul rings.

"He has at least ten hundred-thousand-year soul rings," Zhang Huanyun exclaimed, losing his composure.

Mu Ye, watching the scene in the sky, also felt like he was in a dream.

The changes in recent years have been too significant, especially Xu Yuan's soul rings, which seem to change every single day.

Aruheng, Jiang Wuyue, and Wang Jinyang had long since gathered beside Mu Ye; they were now a group.

"Junior Brother Xu Yuan's breakthrough is too fast. I was stuck at level eighty-nine for more than two years," Aruheng scratched his head, feeling somewhat anxious.

He's about to be caught up.

"Yes, condensing a soul core poses no difficulty for him," Mu Ye said with a wry smile.

The most crucial stages in a soul master's cultivation are caused by condensing soul cores.

However, Xu Yuan seems completely unhindered by it. He successfully condensed his first soul core after only seven days of secluded cultivation, and his second soul core took only a month.

This third soul core doesn't seem like it will take him too long either.

Based on this momentum, his true talent ceiling is too high. If soul masters had a path of cultivation beyond level one hundred, perhaps he could reach an extremely high level through dedicated cultivation.

Wang Jinyang looked at the starlight-interwoven Milky Way, at the six black and three red soul rings, and felt unprecedented pressure.

"Second Senior Brother, no, Senior Brother Xu Yuan is too strong!"

Who can keep up with his pace?

"Jinyang, don't overthink things. Although your senior brother's performance at the Soul Venerable stage was exaggerated, it hadn't yet become outrageous. Everything is a result of his subsequent hard work. You're only a Soul Venerable now; there's no telling what the future holds," Mu Ye patted Wang Jinyang's shoulder, offering words of comfort.

But even in his comfort, he didn't say that Wang Jinyang had any hope of surpassing Xu Yuan.

He simply couldn't bring himself to say it.

Wang Jinyang continued to stare at the Milky Way formed by Xu Yuan's breakthrough, his eyes flickering.

After a long while, he said, "Teacher, I have some ideas that might require Senior Brother's help."

"Oh? Are you referring to your Senior Brother Xu Yuan?"

"Actually, Senior Brother mentioned this point before, saying that my martial soul is related to the stars, but I haven't been able to sense the corresponding star. But now I feel it," Wang Jinyang said, "It was Senior Brother who opened the Star Gazing Platform in the academy, and it was then that I learned my martial soul could resonate with a certain star. Now I feel it again, so it should be among Senior Brother's stars that there's one corresponding to me."

"Is that so?" Mu Ye slowly nodded.

"I'll ask him what he thinks after your senior brother finishes his breakthrough."

"The energy absorbed from closed-door cultivation can't compare to the speed of devouring lightning tribulation."

This is also the reason why Xu Yuan chose this breakthrough method.

Instead of sitting idly for a month, he would rather not sit idly for a year and a half to balance the two soul cores before emerging.

For ordinary soul masters, closed-door cultivation with focused training is definitely the fastest way to increase soul power, but Xu Yuan is different; he is abnormal!

"Exit seclusion, Heavenly Forging, upgrade!"

Confirming that there was no tendency for the two soul cores within his body to devour each other, Xu Yuan ended his meditation.

"Hmm?"

Ending his seclusion, Xu Yuan opened his communication device and found fifteen missed calls from Xu Shengqun.

In addition, there were a large number of text messages.

Ordinary soldiers of the Blood God Legion do not have communication devices to communicate with the outside world; contacting family members also requires an application. But Xu Yuan is a general, and his communication device can still be used normally.

After browsing through the contents of these text messages, Xu Yuan's expression also changed slightly.

"It's the research of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's Heaven Dou Continent branch."

The information indicated that the research there was only a part, and there were more than a dozen similar research institutes, and the ultimate goal of the research was to study an inhibitor.

A drug that inhibits changes in human emotions.

Xu Yuan knew all of this in advance. Xu Shengqun's focus in this information was on the role of this inhibitor, based on the information he obtained from creating this research project within the Spirit Transfer Pagoda to its implementation.

According to Xu Shengqun, the effect of this inhibitor is not aimed at some powerful soul beast.

That's right, it's not aimed at soul beasts.

Because Xu Yuan knew many things in advance, he thought this might be Qian Gu Dongfeng's means of countering the Demon Emperor.

However, he overlooked one point: what does it matter if the Demon Emperor's emotional fluctuations are suppressed?

This is not Qian Gu Dongfeng's means of countering the Demon Emperor at all, but rather something that the Holy Spirit Church needs.

After all, the focus of participating in this research is evil soul masters, and this research is also to provide research results for evil soul masters.

And the powerful evil soul master in charge of this research is not the Ghost Emperor, but the Dark Blood Demon.

If it were the Ghost Emperor, there would still be a motive to counter the Demon Emperor, but does the Dark Blood Demon have this motive?

Xu Shengqun explained that the research on this inhibitor is already nearing completion and that a huge amount has been produced in advance.

Moreover, research on the inhibitor has been ongoing for a full fifty years!

That is to say, this research had basically started shortly after Qian Gu Dongfeng came to power.

"In fifty years, at least five completely different inhibitors have been researched and developed, and a super-sized portion was produced and handed over to the Holy Spirit Cult."

Xu Shengqun's conclusion was that the target of these inhibitors might not be the Holy Spirit Cult.

But rather, the Holy Spirit Cult was targeting another objective.

Such as the Lord of the Plane.

Xu Shengqun had heard many of Xu Yuan's speculations, so after much consideration, he came to this conclusion.

And such a conclusion is not without merit.

Because the creation of five inhibitors seems to be to avoid drug resistance, with each new product being a change on the original inhibitor version.

And since the aim was to avoid drug resistance, and so many years were spent continuously developing five inhibitors, then obviously so much of the previously produced inhibitors must have been used.

With such a large quantity, and no similar cases in the entire Federation, it's clear that these inhibitors were used unknowingly.

"Either the Demon Empress used them herself, to suppress some emotional fluctuations within herself, to meet certain conditions, and increase the hope of finally becoming a god, or, as Great Uncle speculated, they were used on Tang Hao."

Although it is a little difficult to understand how the Demon Empress discovered the existence of the Lord of the Plane, after all, if this is really the case, there would be many doubts, but this possibility cannot be ruled out.

Xu Yuan sent his guess and left the cultivation room after calming down.

Soon, he learned from Mu Ye that Wang Jinyang had once again felt the fluctuation of the stars when his Star River was displayed, which was very surprising.

"Among these stars that I resonate with, are there any that have a high compatibility with the Power Gem?"

There's more tonight.

Chapter 481: The Effect of Inhibitors

The Starry Sky Meditation Technique is a mental power cultivation method developed by Xu Yuan, which resonates with corresponding stars in the starry sky and uses mental power to construct a meditation technique based on the trajectory of the stars.

Although it cannot completely transform into the corresponding stars, it can slightly sense the ability of the corresponding stars.

Although Xu Yuan senses a little too many stars, he still slightly perceives the characteristics of the stars he resonates with.

Among the resonated stars, at least Xu Yuan couldn't immediately think of anything that could resonate with the Power Gem.

"I'll show Jinyang again when I have time and see what kind of stars he resonates with."

Hearing Xu Yuan's reply, Mu Ye also showed a smile.

After all, Xu Yuan also has his own cultivation needs, and it is impossible to worry about a junior brother all the time and delay too much energy for him.

Wang Jinyang was discovered by Xu Yuan and invited to join the Body Sect, and Xu Yuan has given him support in many ways, which is already very conscientious, and even Mu Ye would not ask Xu Yuan to help this time.

But now it seems that Xu Yuan is still willing to help.

"If he's free now, let him come to the cultivation room. I'm also curious about the stars corresponding to his Power Gem."

The existence of the Power Gem martial soul itself makes Xu Yuan very curious.

He understands Wang Jinyang's martial soul form, which is a very orthodox gem-like martial soul, but his martial soul has power characteristics, and it seems to have evolved from an auxiliary martial soul, directly solidifying the ability to amplify power, and mutating into a strong attack-type martial soul.

After Xu Yuan included him in the Body Sect, his martial soul was also related to Wang Jinyang's Qi and blood, which is very suitable for the power of Qi and blood.

In addition, this gem can actually resonate with the power of stars.

It can only be said that, apart from his cousin Xu Tian, Wang Jinyang is the most special among the younger generation Xu Yuan has encountered.

Of course, the special here does not refer to pure talent, but to the potential of talent.

At least, matching Xu Yuan's many secret techniques, Wang Jinyang's talent transformation will definitely be the first person under Xu Tian.

"Okay."

After witnessing Xu Yuan's successful breakthrough, Zhang Huanyun dismissed many soldiers and retreated himself.

Mu Ye found Wang Jinyang and brought him to Xu Yuan's cultivation room.

"Senior Brother."

"Well, Soul Power level thirty-nine."

Xu Yuan could tell Wang Jinyang's Soul Power level at a glance.

In the two years since joining the Body Sect, Wang Jinyang has also focused on consolidating his foundation, but even if he focused on consolidating his foundation, he still improved nearly eight levels in two years.

In fact, he has been stuck at level thirty-nine for five months.

This is the performance of a normal Soul Master, and sometimes even a genius Soul Master may be stuck at the bottleneck of level forty for nearly a year.

"I will run the meditation technique in a while, you sense it, and I'll see what kind of stars you correspond to."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he gave Wang Jinyang time to adjust his state, and then began to run his mental power.

His mental power was only running in his mind, and the surrounding scenery in the cultivation room changed.

The Star River flowed.

Wang Jinyang took a deep breath and sensed the stars that echoed him almost instantly.

Xu Yuan also felt a change.

"There are three stars!"

Xu Yuan observed the changes in his Star River in surprise.

Because Wang Jinyang's power was too weak, he didn't feel anything the first two times. This time, after careful feeling, he finally sensed it.

In Xu Yuan's Starry Sky Meditation Technique, there are as many as hundreds of stars, which is quite exaggerated.

However, the repetition rate of these hundreds of stars is actually extremely high.

Each of the five elements attributes corresponds to more than fifty stars, in addition to the stars corresponding to the power of thunder that were recently sensed, and the stars that Xu Yuan felt by virtue of his own sense of the power of the stars, which accounted for the absolute majority.

The three stars sensed by Wang Jinyang are all stars with characteristics biased towards the auxiliary category.

In fact, the so-called auxiliary category also has distinctions. Some stars' power can clearly feel a kind of noble and gorgeous feeling, as if there are treasures existing on the corresponding stars.

Or its naturally derived laws are more suitable for the birth of similar treasures.
