Chapter 173 confirms the guess: the key to the growth of martial soul lies in soul power!
“It is true that some people choose pure dark attribute soul beasts in their first soul ring, but their cultivation speed will be reduced. In more serious cases, they may even be unable to continue cultivation.”
Qing Zhuzhu did not hide anything, and told the consequences of the soul master who chose a pure dark attribute soul beast for the first soul ring in the family records.
Example 1:
Zhu Mingzhu is said to be a child of the Civet family thousands of years ago. His first soul ring was the Dark Tiger, which is a pure dark attribute soul beast. Possessing the Heart of Darkness, he can turn into shadow while running and cannot be hit by physical attacks.
But when Zhu Mingzhu absorbed the soul ring of a dark tiger with two hundred years of cultivation, the veins were exposed and eventually burst. She was covered in blood and died.
Example 2:
The time was still a thousand years ago.
At that time, the Zhu family believed that the cultivation level of An Ming Hu might be too high, so another disciple named Zhu Xiu chose An Ming Hu, whose cultivation level had just exceeded a hundred years.
During the absorption process, Zhu Xiu was also in great pain, with veins all over his body exposed...
In the end, Zhu Xiu succeeded!
However, I don’t know if during the absorption process, the veins running the soul power in his body were irreversibly damaged, so that when he practiced again, his soul power increased extremely slowly, and he had to reach full soul power first. Zhu Xiu, who had reached the eighth level and was expected to be titled Douluo, could not break through to the soul sect realm until he was fifty years old.
Although Qingzhu Zhu also cited other examples, Zhou Qing has already confirmed his previous guess -
It is not an extremely special martial spirit or an extremely strange spirit ring. There is no way for the martial soul to complete its transformation!
The thing directly linked to the growth of martial soul is the soul master himself!
The martial spirit is like a seed planted in the human body:
The awakening ceremony is equivalent to letting the seed germinate!
If this seed wants to grow into a towering tree, it needs soil, moisture, air, sunlight, etc.
Among them, the soul master's body is the basis of soil, moisture, air and other material conditions required for the growth of martial souls, and the soul power is the basis of energy conditions such as "sunshine" required for the growth of martial souls. .
What about the soul ring?
It is a kind of "fertilizing" process with human intervention, which is "fertilizer".
"Fertilizer" can make "plants" grow better, but it is definitely not a necessity. It can only be an artificial adjustment method.
The rules of Douluo Continent are by no means natural. The death of soul beasts, the birth of soul rings that can be used by soul masters to break through bottlenecks, and soul bones similar to human bones are all a kind of "fertilization" after human intervention. Behavior.
The key to the growth of a martial soul can only be soul power!
“Fertilizer” is not a necessity!
However, due to some unknown reasons, "fertilizer", that is, soul rings, has become an indispensable necessity for the growth of soul masters and martial souls.
However, in this process, the mastermind behind it did not tell human soul masters how to identify the most beneficial "fertilizer" for their growth, so that humans had to test them one by one. Even at the cost of life, just so that future generations can avoid mistakes.
Just like the direct members of the Nether Civet family, the martial spirits are all Nether Civets, but when they first awaken, their dark attributes are very weak.
Therefore, when obtaining the first and second soul rings, the soul beasts chosen must not have pure dark attributes, but can only have a slight dark attribute.
Only in this way can the martial soul grow better without being "burned" to death due to excessive "fertilization". Just like Zhu Xiu and Zhu Mingzhu who were cited by Qingzhuzhu, they would suffer so much pain during the process of absorbing the soul ring that one of their meridians was damaged and the other died directly, just because their martial souls had just awakened. , the dark attribute is weak, absorbing the soul ring produced by the pure dark attribute soul beast is equivalent to adding a fist's worth of fertilizer to a plant seedling that has just emerged from the ground and is only the size of a fingernail.
Will the seedlings grow better?
No!
It will only "burn" to death!
The principle of "too much is not enough" is also vividly reflected in the growth process of Wuhun!
At least the past examples of the Nether Civet Cat Family have proven this!
The growth of a soul beast includes an infancy stage, a growth stage, an adult stage, etc. Only after reaching the corresponding growth stage can the soul beast possess corresponding abilities.
This can be seen from the Spiritual Turtle: at the hundred-year level, it can provide the soul skill "sleep"; at the thousand-year level, it can provide the "spirit fusion sign".
Xiao Wu once told Zhou Qing and Tang San about the abilities that soft-bone rabbits can control at different stages of growth. This is also a living case.
Similarly.
The growth stage of martial souls is not too far from that of soul beasts.
The only difference may be that in the process of growth, the martial soul can only obtain talents, but skills need to be obtained by hunting soul beasts...
[ No! This is not necessarily the case! After growing to a certain stage, the talent appears. The soul master can actually create his own soul skills based on the talent of the martial soul. The so-called self-created soul skills generally come from this. It is just about hunting soul beasts, obtaining soul rings, and obtaining soul skills. This path is so convenient that most soul masters would not even think about creating their own. 】
How was this cultivation system originally born?
Zhou Qing does not speculate on related conspiracy theories, but one thing he is certain of is: this path will definitely inhibit, or even kill to a great extent, the creation of the human brain in the entire Douluo Continent. force!
Just like Tang San's "Xuan Tian Gong", its cultivation method can crush the Douluo Continent, which is the basic theory of human body veins, acupuncture points and so on.
And this is precisely where Douluo Continent’s cultivation system is most lacking!
When Zhu Mingzhu and Zhu Xiu absorbed the soul rings, they could only rely on the martial soul and the vague soul power movement routes that the martial soul brought to them. They did not understand the various meridians and acupuncture points of the human body at all. role.
What if they understood?
Then they may not suffer much pain during the process of absorbing the Dark Tiger Soul Ring, and even if their meridians are damaged later, they will know how to nurse and recover.
In the original work, Tang San jumped through levels many times to absorb spirit rings. Was it the Blue Silver Grass or the Blue Silver Emperor?
No!
The virtue is Xuantian Kung! It is the basic theory from another martial arts civilization contained in Xuantian Kung!
It is precisely because of his understanding of the functions and functions of the major meridians and acupuncture points of the human body that Tang San is able to nurse his body into the most perfect state after absorbing soul rings and ruining his body every time!
What about other soul masters?
At most, the external physical injuries have been treated, but for hidden injuries at the meridian level, there is no effective way to treat them. We can only rely on the speed of practicing skills brought by high-quality martial arts, and by increasing the soul power. This way, the soul power has a nourishing effect on the body, and the injury is forcibly suppressed.
Just like Tang Hao, who gave up on himself, perhaps there was a reason why he knew he could not heal his hidden wounds...
