"Fourth Spirit Skill, Blood Source Power."
After carefully sensing it, Su Ming understood the basic information of his fourth Spirit Skill.
"This isn't an ability that provides sustain during combat, but rather a power for usual cultivation."
For usual cultivation?
Even Dugu Bo was momentarily stunned, not understanding Su Ming's meaning.
Spirit Skills were divided into types like this?
"Blood Source Power is actually similar to qi and blood force; it can directly fuse with qi and blood force. This effect probably appeared due to the influence of my existing qi and blood force."
"My fourth Spirit Skill allows me to condense Blood Source Power during normal cultivation. In battle, this Blood Source Power can rapidly restore my injuries."
As he spoke, Su Ming, without any warning, made a cut on his own hand. The wound healed in the blink of an eye.
Dugu Bo watched Su Ming's wound heal, quite surprised.
This healing effect was too exaggerated.
"Based on my understanding, this Blood Source Power essentially replicates my body's condition. Wherever there is injury, it can rapidly make up for that damaged part."
"Any other effects?" Dugu Bo asked.
"Yes. Blood Source Power can transform into my qi and blood force."
Dugu Bo was taken aback.
He now somewhat understood Su Ming's meaning. No wonder he said it was a cultivation-type Spirit Skill.
He can accumulate Blood Source Power daily, then use it in battle for restorative effects. He can also accumulate Blood Source Power as a form of cultivation, integrating it into his qi and blood to enhance his qi and blood force out of thin air.
Qi and blood are connected to the Spirit Master's main body; it's a power that can truly provide feedback.
Exercising the body to enhance qi and blood, ultimately transforming it into stronger qi and blood force—that is normal cultivation.
Now, Su Ming can directly condense Blood Source Power through a separate system and transform it directly into qi and blood force, skipping the step of physical exercise entirely.
Not only did he bypass this normal path, but he could also reverse it, using the enhancement of qi and blood force to drive the improvement of the Spirit Master's physique.
"Then, what is the speed of condensing this Blood Source Power? Also, with this split in your Spirit Skill's effects, wouldn't you need to choose between them in the future?"
Hearing Dugu Bo's doubts, Su Ming smiled.
Yes, two effects, only one can be chosen.
But, what if I can take back my move?
"Once Blood Source Power is integrated into qi and blood force, it indeed can no longer be used to restore physical injuries. However, the qi and blood force itself, after fusing with Blood Source Power, also has decent restorative effects. Of course, there's a chasm compared to pure Blood Source Power; it can't be a perfect substitute. But—"
"—if condensing Blood Source Power from nothing is slow, then refining Blood Source Power from qi and blood force is very fast."
Dugu Bo's pupils constricted.
Refining Blood Source Power from qi and blood force?
Good grief.
This is job-hopping back and forth.
One moment, Blood Source Power integrates into qi and blood force; the next, qi and blood force can condense Blood Source Power.
Hopping back and forth like this, the physical constitution instead receives a solid boost, and the foundation of qi and blood is elevated.
Stepping on your own left foot with your right foot to ascend?
Dugu Bo exclaimed that Su Ming's Spirit Skill was wrong.
The effect was too outrageous. Was this really a Spirit Skill a mere ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring could provide?
Su Ming, however, felt it was all very normal.
"My absorption of this Spirit Ring is different from ordinary Spirit Masters. My Spirit Ring is the true Spirit Ring."
He didn't hide it from Dugu Bo, giving a brief overview of the previous phenomenon.
"So, you believe Spirit Rings also have physical and soul parts, and you fused both, while other Spirit Masters only fuse the physical part?"
"Mm. It was also a sudden idea. I didn't expect that after the Martial Soul Second Awakening, I could truly see that wisp of remnant soul turn into an illusory black Spirit Ring phantom in my Sea of Consciousness, which I then fused with."
Su Ming was telling the truth.
Dugu Bo's eyes gleamed; this was the first time he had heard intelligence outside his existing knowledge.
"Let's return to the Ice Fire Two Eyes first. We can review slowly after we're back."
He had a hunch that Su Ming's attempt this time might touch upon something more fundamental in Spirit Master cultivation.
Perhaps only Body Martial Souls could replicate this, using the form of the Martial Soul Second Awakening to absorb the remnant soul. But what if other Martial Souls could also incidentally devour the remnant soul?
After devouring the remnant soul and obtaining a complete Spirit Ring, one could acquire a more powerful Spirit Skill.
Dugu Bo was filled with excitement the entire journey, wishing he could fly back, so much so that he forgot about the Metagross.
Fortunately, Su Ming remained calmer, remembered the Metagross's existence, and spent a few days with Dugu Bo moving it to the valley of the Ice Fire Two Eyes.
After canceling the petrification, Dugu Bo even acted as a beast tamer, helping Su Ming beat the Metagross into submission until it was willing to cooperate with Su Ming's future forging.
"You kid really can endure. You didn't research such a Spirit Skill the first time."
Dugu Bo muttered, somewhat impatient.
Actually, Su Ming could hardly bear it either.
He was thinking.
The reason he could steadily relocate the Metagross was because he had his other two selves bearing the load.
Thinking?
With three brains, having at least one available for thinking was enough.
Over the past few days, Su Ming had also summarized his discoveries from this experience.
"Body Martial Spirit Masters, as long as they undergo a Second Awakening, can mindlessly replicate this method when absorbing ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings, obtaining even more powerful Spirit Skills."
"Aside from Body Martial Spirit Masters, other Spirit Masters can also replicate this form. For example, Evil Spirit Masters might do it even more thoroughly, not just absorbing remnant souls from ten-thousand-year and above rings, but probably directly swallowing the souls from thousand-year and hundred-year rings too."
"The secret methods of Evil Spirit Masters that can increase the age of the Spirit Ring might be related to this point. Similarly, preserving the soul part of the Spirit Ring might also be the key to increasing the age of the Spirit Ring later."
Conclusion by conclusion, they gradually pointed towards the answer of increasing Spirit Ring life.
"Little Gold integrated into it, his connection to me became closer, and simultaneously, his progress can now be reflected in real-time."
Su Ming estimated the strength increase of his first three Spirit Rings to be around five hundred years.
The original Spirit Soul evolution system had now directly allowed him to complete a cultivation system.
The Spirit Soul cultivates autonomously. As long as the Spirit Soul can improve, it can drive the Spirit Rings to improve along with it.
"Five hundred years isn't insignificant. It should also be the result of being shared among the three Spirit Rings. The mechanism of the Spirit Ascension Platform in Douluo 3 should be similar to this, except the spiritual power within the Spirit Ascension Platform can directly enhance the Spirit Soul's cultivation."
"You've also been cultivating Blood Source Power these past few days. How much have you condensed?"
Dugu Bo finally asked about another crucial piece of information regarding Su Ming's fourth Spirit Skill.
The mechanism of Blood Source Power was strong, but there was another data point that could limit the potency of this Spirit Skill: the speed of Blood Source Power condenses.
Dugu Bo had been reminding Su Ming to condense Blood Source Power these past few days.
Now, it was time for the answer to be revealed.
