Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

Truly embarking on the former path might lead to a smoother transition in the future. However, excessively pursuing the cultivation of soul power with pure star power could cause geniuses who originally had a chance to achieve the title of Titled Douluo before forty to potentially fail to reach Soul Sage even by fifty.

Star power is just that difficult to cultivate.

And if the cultivation speed is delayed, there might not even be a chance to reach level ninety-eight and attempt to break through to level ninety-nine.

Chapter 108: Expectations for Mecha

Star power itself has different classifications. The star power emanating naturally from the universe is the most primordial star power. After being transformed by Douluo Star, some of it becomes refined star power.

Naturally, cultivating with these two types of star power is different.

The benefit of star power that Yun Ming mentioned is to break free from the constraints of the plane, so naturally, the most primordial star power is the best. However, the amount of primordial star power that can reach the interior of Douluo Star is already pitifully small.

And the cultivation of star power is naturally divided into three categories.

First, there is the purest path: completely refining the most primordial star power. There are no Soul Masters who take this path, not a single one. Firstly, it's difficult, and secondly, primordial star power is inherently scarce. As a compromise, Soul Masters who refine star power to cultivate soul power generally only occasionally refine primordial star power. Most of the time, they refine normal star power that has been assimilated by Douluo Star. It still has some effect, but not much.

But even so, Soul Masters who reach level ninety-eight in this way can transition relatively smoothly during the process of breaking through to level ninety-nine.

It is foreseeable that if one could take the purest path, the possibility of becoming a god would truly exist.

Unfortunately, even this compromise choice has困顿many geniuses for their entire lives, causing them to be unable to maintain even their normal soul power cultivation speed, ultimately ending in a dismal failure.

Even assimilated star power is more difficult to refine than ordinary Yuan Qi. Although the effect is better and it is extremely effective for breaking through bottlenecks and tempering soul power, if one were to truly use star power to completely lay the foundation and gradually increase soul power, the speed can only be described as a snail's pace.

Merely possessing the star attribute is only the basis for mobilizing and influencing the star power between heaven and earth, just like possessing the fire attribute is the basis for transforming soul power or Yuan Qi into the fire attribute.

Mimetic environment?

In an environment with dense star power, one can greatly increase cultivation speed by only using star power to temper soul power and then absorbing heaven and earth Yuan Qi to increase soul power. As for cultivating star power in an environment with dense star power? It can only be said that it is faster than in a place with sparse star power, and it also depends on the individual Soul Master's refining speed.

The Soul Master's efficiency in refining Yuan Qi and their efficiency in refining star power are not the same base number, which is the root of everything.

Using star power to temper soul power during the cultivation process is the second category of star power cultivation. It is also a method of using star power to promote cultivation. It is the most common, but it is also impossible to enjoy the bonus mentioned by Yun Ming.

The pure path is more difficult to cultivate, and soul power increases like a snail's pace. However, using star power to temper soul power results in faster soul power growth, and the quality of soul power is also higher than that of ordinary Soul Masters. Therefore, the latter is the most common.

The third category is developing the star attribute, which is only the development of the attribute, namely the cultivation of star power mobilization techniques and the transformation of the star attribute.

This can be done simultaneously with the first two categories.

Back to the main topic.

Xu Yuan's association with all of this is naturally for a reason.

He looked at the sparse three figures in the mecha control class, feeling helpless in his heart.

Mecha should not be left idle like this.

Although the pure star power cultivation path is very difficult, what is even more difficult is the cultivation environment. If there is dense primordial star power, it can naturally speed up the cultivation speed somewhat.

And the second category, the path of tempering soul power with star power, is not only for Soul Masters with the star attribute to try. If the environment is suitable and there is dense star power to assist, one can occasionally try it.

So, what if one could artificially find an environment with dense star power?

For example, driving a mecha into space to cultivate.

Currently, the Federation's exploration of space is still in its initial stage, but it already has the basic technology to break through Douluo Star's gravity and enter space.

If this technology is integrated into the mecha, it is naturally hopeful to help mecha masters enter space.

As for the survival problem in space, it can also be solved by the mecha.

Of course, this is just an idea. Whether to truly develop in this direction depends on the mecha master's own choice.

As for Xu Yuan, he will inevitably choose to develop this direction on his own mecha, because he really wants to go to space to cultivate.

"Besides these functional aspects, the biggest advantage of mecha is its advantage on the battlefield."

The larger the size, the stronger the destructive power.

Red-level mecha masters may not be as powerful in terms of burst attack power as four-word battle armor masters, but they are sufficient to catch up in terms of overall damage caused.

Large-scale, blanket-style strikes are the correct way for mecha to unleash their power.

Mecha can use external energy sources, which is something that battle armor cannot achieve.

The initial development of mecha was to pursue power. The reason why battle armor masters are now stronger is naturally because battle armor is more elite.

Being lighter not only allows for better amplification of the Soul Master, but the biggest benefit is that it consumes less to manufacture.

Otherwise, if there were a mecha made entirely of Heaven Forged Metal, its power would inevitably far exceed four-word battle armor.

Mecha are larger, and the core magic arrays engraved will only be more numerous and stronger. There is no reason for them to be weaker than battle armor.

The reason why mecha masters are not as good as battle armor masters is purely a matter of cost!

And Xu Yuan is not short of costs for the time being.

He is also a blacksmith.

Although he learned the auxiliary forging method, there is no doubt that his talent in forging is beyond question.

Thousand Refined Grade One was comprehended by Tang Wulin, but in the subsequent forging, Xu Yuan is confident that he can quickly improve on his own.

This is the confidence that the mental link brings him.

In the future, he also has the potential to become the world's divine craftsman.

Naturally, he will not lack Heaven Forged Metal, and he also wants to try the strength of a mecha made entirely of Heaven Forged Metal.

The pure star power path allows for a smoother breakthrough at level ninety-nine, but Xu Yuan has not yet planned to embark on this path.

It has been a year since Yun Ming told him this, and he still refines heaven and earth Yuan Qi for cultivation, rather than refining star power. Of course, he also spends a certain amount of time every day drawing in star power to temper his soul power and Qi and blood.

In other words, Xu Yuan is taking the second path.

He gave up the first path.

However, it does not mean that he will not study the first path.

"The Abyss, this is a great opportunity. I am not a child of nature, I don't have the Golden Dragon Spear, nor the Silver Dragon Spear. The Abyss's massive energy doesn't help me in the slightest." Xu Yuan thought to himself: "Before I come into contact with the Abyss, I must find a way to possess the energy to devour it. This is my goal."

The power of the stars, the most primitive power of the stars. I must study this most primitive power, research how to refine it, control it, and devour it!

Chapter 109 Starry Sky

Xu Yuan certainly wouldn't naively think that after thoroughly researching the methods of refining the original power of the stars, he would be able to devour the energy of the Abyss plane.

For six thousand years, no Soul Master in the Soul Master world has taken the purest path of the stars, but is it possible that not a single Soul Master has been able to refine the original power of the stars?

That's impossible.

It's just that even if one can refine the most primitive power, one cannot refine the energy of another plane from a distance, especially the Abyss, a plane whose origin imprint is almost completely integrated with its internal energy.

The Abyss is an energy plane. Every wisp of energy, for the Abyss, is its main body, containing its origin.

Even if one possesses the ability to refine the most primitive power of the stars, one cannot snatch the origin of the Abyss. This is the biggest difficulty Douluo Star faces in the current situation.

The Abyss can devour the vitality of Douluo Continent, but the Douluo plane cannot reverse and devour even a trace of energy.

After such a stalemate for six thousand years, the Douluo plane has declined to the extreme.

Xu Yuan estimates that after a while, if there are no variables, the Douluo plane itself will truly begin to regress.

This process is also likely to be irreversible.

Back to the main topic.

Xu Yuan slowly stepped forward and was warmly welcomed by the second-year teacher.

"This student, are you looking for someone?"

"Teacher, I signed up for the second-year mecha control class. Shouldn't the class be here?" Xu Yuan took out the certificate issued by Wu Zhangkong and politely asked to confirm whether this was the mecha control classroom.

Xing Yu looked embarrassed.

This was indeed the place for class, although there were only three people.

"You are only a first-year student. You can wait until the next semester to learn mecha control. Are you sure you want to learn it in advance now?" Xing Yu frowned, looked at Xu Yuan, and asked very seriously.

Although he was very happy that a new student came to listen to his lectures and welcomed a new junior who was interested in mechas, he had to remind this junior that graduation was the key.

If a first-year student wastes time on mecha control as soon as they enter school, it may really delay their normal cultivation.

Xu Yuan also felt the other party's helplessness when he heard Xing Yu's question.

Someone comes to your class, and you still have to worry about whether they will become addicted to playing because of your class?

Is this the current situation of mechas in Shrek Academy?

Although mecha masters are much weaker than Dou Kai masters, mecha masters themselves have always been a considerable force on the continent, except for the four-word Dou Kai owners who can be created with heavenly forged metal. The overall strength of mecha masters is not weaker than that of Dou Kai masters.

Without the limitations of materials, mecha masters will only be stronger than Dou Kai masters.

Although these assumptions are ridiculous, they are also facts.

Mechas don't lack higher development space.

"Senior, our teacher was able to approve this certificate for me. Are you still not assured about this?"

Xing Yu suddenly realized this.

"Then, welcome to join the study of mecha control. I am the teacher of the second-year mecha control course, and also your senior. My name is Xing Yu. I graduated from the inner courtyard five years ago."

Graduated five years ago?

"Strictly speaking, I am the same class of inner courtyard student as your Teacher Wu, but I am three years older than him."

Being able to enter the inner courtyard is already an outstanding individual, one of the best in the entire continent. After all, the requirements of the inner courtyard are quite harsh. Becoming a Dou Kai master before the age of twenty-five, such talent must be vigorously cultivated in any force, and they may be the top combat power of the force in the future.

Xing Yu was able to enter the inner courtyard, obviously becoming a Dou Kai master before the age of twenty-five, and Wu Zhangkong, who entered the inner courtyard in the same class, was three years younger than him, which means that Wu Zhangkong became a Dou Kai master at least before the age of twenty-two.

No, maybe even earlier.

Because Xu Yuan could feel the powerful soul power fluctuations of the senior named Xing Yu in front of him.

This soul power fluctuation is higher than Shen Yi, and stronger than Wu Zhangkong.

"Senior, may I ask what your current soul power level is?" Xu Yuan asked curiously.

Only three years older, Wu Zhangkong only became decadent for a period of time, is there such a big gap?

Xing Yu didn't expect Xu Yuan to be curious about this and didn't have any hidden thoughts.

"I just obtained the eighth soul ring, level eighty-one Soul Douluo." He said with a smile.

Xu Yuan clicked his tongue.

Soul Douluo.

Teacher Wu, look, look, your classmates from the same class are already Soul Douluo, and you are only just breaking through Soul Sage.

Although he is three years older, Wu Zhangkong also entered the inner courtyard at the same time as this Senior Xing Yu with this three-year difference. Since he has been pulled back ten levels, it means that he has indeed wasted too much in the past few years, causing the advantages he established before to be gradually caught up.

"Senior Xing Yu, I will learn mecha control from you from now on."

Xu Yuan did not call him teacher.

Anyway, he was just coming to audit the class. Since he was a senior, calling him senior wouldn't hurt him. Instead, it could bring them closer.

Soul Douluo, mecha master, and because he is an inner courtyard student of Shrek, he must also be a Dou Kai master.

These three points combined indicate that this Senior Xing Yu is definitely not an ordinary person.

With three paths progressing simultaneously, his talent is also extremely strong.

"I am also very happy that a new junior wants to learn mechas." Xing Yu smiled brightly.

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Junior, your name is Xu Yuan, right? I haven't asked what your goal is for learning mechas?"

"Of course, it is to become a mecha master, and to continue to delve into mechas in the future and become the top mecha master." Xu Yuan said seriously.

Xing Yu nodded repeatedly.

Yes, that's right.

He turned his head to look at the other two students and glared at them.

The two second-year seniors were speechless and shrugged their shoulders.

There was no other way. The two of them were originally here to earn credits, and at the same time, they were learning mechas, preparing to use mechas for transportation in the future.

Mechas are much more convenient than soul-guided cars. Their families are not short of money and can equip themselves with mechas, so that's what they thought.
