Chapter 120 The Mystery of the Evolution of Soul Rings and Martial Souls
Reabsorbing soul rings can indeed absorb soul beast soul rings of different types and ages from the original soul rings.
But obviously, such a soul ring will have a repulsive effect on the original soul ring position.
The reason is of course that the original soul ring position is used to the type and effect of the original soul ring.
Moreover, the position of the soul ring is fixed. Otherwise, after the first soul ring explodes and disappears, the absorbed soul ring should appear after the third soul ring, instead of reappearing at the position of the first soul ring.
But now that the soul ring is reabsorbed, it will still appear at the position of the first soul ring, which proves that the positions of the soul rings are fixed.
At the same time, Ning Feiliu also had some vague understanding of Douluo Continent's soul master system.
If we say that the soul master system of Douluo Continent is to build tall buildings from the ground, one by one, the first floor is the foundation of the second floor, and the second floor is the foundation of the third floor.
So... what exactly is a soul ring?
Every time you reach the tenth level of soul power, you can absorb the soul ring, and then you can continue to cultivate to the next level.
However, a soul ring is not required to cultivate soul power, because according to the original plot, after a soul master breaks through, he can still cultivate even if he does not obtain a soul ring.
However, the soul power accumulated through cultivation can only be revealed after obtaining the soul ring.
In other words, a soul master can actually practice soul power without absorbing soul rings, practice until level ninety, and then absorb nine soul rings in one breath.
In this way, one can break through the Titled Douluo in an instant.
However, without a soul ring, you cannot feel how much your soul power level currently exceeds.
For example, although you have reached level 90 soul power, but you have not absorbed a single soul ring, the only thing you can perceive is the level 10 soul power.
And without a soul ring, your cultivation speed will become slower, and you will not be able to easily show powerful power.
So the soul ring is not the foundation, nor the steel frame of a high-rise building, but...
"Bone...artificial bone!" Ning Feiliu suddenly said.
"Skeleton? Artificial bone?" Dugu Yan asked curiously, "Xiao Feiliu, what are you talking about?"
"No...nothing..." Ning Feiliu suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head and said.
The world of Douluo Continent... seems to be a bit magical. If this is the setting, the humans in this world... or soul masters should be born lacking very important abilities.
A soul master's body cannot produce soul rings on its own, so it can only obtain soul rings by hunting soul beasts.
Just like humans in previous lives, they were unable to synthesize vitamin C from themselves, so they had to consume vitamin C from fresh fruits and vegetables to sustain life.
The same is true for the soul masters in this world.
It's just that for a soul master, a soul ring is not vitamin C, but more like a bone.
Only when bones can be formed can the body be supported to grow taller and be able to better explode strength. Otherwise, there will be no place for muscles to exert force.
Therefore, the soul ring is an artificial bone implant made by the soul master, which is used to stimulate growth and burst out power. Therefore, absorbing the soul ring will also affect the martial soul and "evolve".
The good quality of the soul ring means that the bone has excellent hardness and length, which naturally stimulates the muscles to grow stronger and longer.
And a poor soul ring quality will only make your muscles grow to a certain extent.
This is the drawback of poor quality soul rings.
But a soul ring that exceeds one's own limit is equivalent to a spear implanted in the body. No matter how long the body is, it cannot temporarily bear the spear, and it will naturally explode and die due to overload.
Ning Feiliu actually had a guess, taking as an example the human body's lack of vitamin C synthesis function in previous lives.
In fact, ancient humans in previous lives could synthesize vitamin C by themselves, but later in the process of evolution, humans discovered that vitamin C can be ingested through fruits and vegetables. Especially consuming fruits and vegetables, in addition to vitamin C, can also absorb a large number of other nutrients, making the body grow stronger.
Therefore, those individuals who could synthesize vitamin C died out. These human individuals who lacked vitamin C and needed to consume a large amount of fruits and vegetables in nature have survived to this day and passed on their genes.
In fact, the soul masters in the Douluo Continent world were the same as soul beasts in ancient times. They could synthesize soul rings by themselves without absorbing soul rings.
However, the soul ring synthesized by oneself makes there no difference between humans and soul beasts. On the contrary, the physical fitness and some characteristics of soul beasts are far better than humans.
At this time, some humans who had genetic mutations and were unable to synthesize soul rings by themselves discovered that killing soul beasts and absorbing soul rings could use the power of the soul beasts for their own use, allowing them to practice again while also possessing powerful skills.
At this time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, it was... an epiphany!
Maybe... the emergence of martial spirits, especially the emergence of beast martial spirits, is also the result of absorbing soul rings!
A certain soul master in ancient times, because his hunting range was limited and he was cautious, kept absorbing the soul rings of a certain type of soul beast, and finally pieced together the martial soul of that soul beast...
What about weapon souls? How did it evolve? It should be that the beast spirit came first, and then the weapon spirit...
He was now full of curiosity about the evolution process of martial souls and the inevitable connection with soul rings.
Such an idea suddenly came to Ning Feiliu's mind.
At this moment...
[Explore the evolution of martial souls and soul rings, and obtain the incomplete world runes—the unsealed secret book. 】
A line of small characters appeared in front of Ning Feiliu's eyes.
This made him stunned again.
"Boy! What happened to you?!" But at this moment, Dugu Bo's voice brought him back to reality again.
Ning Feiliu turned around and found that Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were both looking at him with strange expressions.
Dugu Yan was even more worried.
"No...it's really nothing." This time, Ning Feiliu woke up completely, took a deep breath, and said.
The evolution of martial souls and soul rings in this world... It will definitely take a lot of time to explore this mystery. This is definitely not an easy task.
It is precisely for this reason that the reward for this mission is the cornerstone rune of the main world - the unsealed secret book.
This is definitely the most powerful world rune he has seen so far. Even if it is incomplete, it is probably far more powerful than the complete Qi Calming Shen Xian rune... at least a hundred times.
But it is precisely because it is strong enough that completing this task... it will probably be very difficult!
It's not something that can be studied right now.
It's better to focus on yourself now...for example, here's the conclusion he came to about reabsorbing the soul ring after blowing it up.
Exploding the soul ring and then reabsorbing it is equivalent to re-implanting a new bone. Naturally, the body that has adapted to it will be rejected.
Ning Feiliu absorbs the soul ring again. Because of this rejection reaction, he can choose a different type of soul beast from the original soul ring in the future, but he must lower the upper limit of soul ring absorption...
"What were you thinking about just now?" Dugu Bo looked at him and asked curiously.
"I just thought of some fallacies... Why do humans absorb soul rings?" Ning Feiliu said softly.
When he faced Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, he had nothing to hide, especially this kind of problem.
Maybe ask Dugu Bo, what else does Dugu Bo know...
