Chapter 168: Yu Xiaogang: Accidentally Shocking the World Once Again
[Soul Rings.]
[A hurdle that absolutely any Soul Master on the Douluo Continent cannot avoid.]
[Without a Soul Ring, a Soul Master's upper limit is directly stuck, and there is simply no way to improve.]
[And if one wants to obtain a Soul Ring, there is only one way: kill Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings from their corpses.]
[To be honest, when first looking at the Martial Soul system of the Douluo Continent, Yu Xiaogang always felt that the group known as Soul Beasts must have absolutely offended the Heavens.]
[If they hadn't offended the Heavens, why would the system for becoming stronger on the Douluo Continent look like this?]
[If a Soul Master wants to become stronger, they must hunt Soul Beasts; this naturally establishes an irreconcilable conflict between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.]
[Unless one day a Soul Master comprehends a method to freely condense a Soul Ring.]
[And also creates a method for man-made Soul Bones.]
[Otherwise, Soul Beasts can only ever be the enemies of Soul Masters.]
[Yu Xiaogang has never stopped thinking about things like Soul Beasts, Soul Rings, and Soul Bones over the years.]
[Especially after experiencing the absorption of several Soul Rings and Soul Bones, Yu Xiaogang's understanding of Soul Rings and Soul Bones has become much clearer.]
[Back when he was absorbing his Soul Ring, he clearly felt the massive Soul Power belonging to the Soul Beast inside the Soul Ring rushing into his body, helping him improve his physical strength, raising his Soul Power, and simultaneously helping Little Dragon evolve.]
[And within that ten-thousand-year spirit ring, there was also the resentment of the Soul Beast after its death.]
[It could be said that a small Soul Ring stores the purest and most core part of a Soul Beast's power.]
[And such power was absorbed by him.]
[So here comes the question.]
[Before he absorbed the Soul Ring, so much power was stored within it.]
[But after he absorbed the Soul Ring, the power within it was emptied, and the Soul Ring belonged to him.]
[So at this point, is the Soul Ring merely a decoration that is triggered with Soul Power and then lights up when activating a Soul Skill?]
[It's like a guest coming to one's home bringing a pastry gift box.]
[The gift box is accepted, and the pastries inside are eaten.]
[Then at this point, is the remaining gift box of no use at all?]
[Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's heart began to throb wildly.]
[He felt as if he had discovered something incredible.]
[So, without minding the people present, Yu Xiaogang sat directly on the ground, summoning Little Dragon and his Soul Rings.]
[Little Dragon, who was in sync with Yu Xiaogang's heart, knew his thoughts the moment he came out, so he came to Yu Xiaogang's side to assist him in his research on the Soul Rings.]
[Seeing his son directly enter such a state, Yu Yuanzhen quietly gestured for Lin Lang and Dugu Bo to move further away.]
"Sect Master, what is the Young Sect Master doing?"
Walking to a distance, Dugu Bo glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who had summoned his Martial Soul and Soul Rings; he could never see enough of such a Soul Ring configuration.
However, for now, Dugu Bo was more concerned about what Yu Xiaogang was trying to do.
He had just chatted with him about the situation of his own Bìlín Snake Martial Soul, and now he had entered this state without saying anything to them.
So, what had he thought of?
"I don't know, but Xiaogang has been smart since he was a child. Perhaps he's thought of something."
Yu Yuanzhen looked at his son with some anticipation.
Yu Xiaogang's talent for thinking and analysis was famous among the high-level members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Back when whale glue was discovered, Ye Hengchuan had reported the process to them in great detail afterward.
After reading the whole process, they couldn't help but marvel that Yu Xiaogang was so exceptionally intelligent at such a young age.
The entire experiment was carried out completely under Yu Xiaogang's guidance.
From discovery to experimentation to eliminating risks, his thoughts were completely unlike what a child of his age should have.
In any case, they wouldn't have been able to discover whale glue themselves.
Afterward, Yu Xiaogang successively discovered various characteristics of his Martial Soul, Little Dragon.
Although these characteristics were only useful to Yu Xiaogang alone, they repeatedly deepened the impression of Yu Xiaogang's outstanding talent in the hearts of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's high-level members.
Therefore, every time Yu Xiaogang fell into deep thought, the high-level members would be full of anticipation, wanting to know what Yu Xiaogang had discovered this time.
Thus, for a moment, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well became incomparably quiet.
The Grand Elder quietly refined the immortal grade herb, while Yu Xiaogang and Little Dragon were lost in thought.
Yu Yuanzhen and the other two stood at a distance; they were afraid of disturbing Yu Xiaogang even with idle chatter, so they simply found a place to start meditating as well.
Time passed minute by minute.
Yu Xiaogang and Little Dragon had summoned the Soul Rings.
At first, Yu Xiaogang tried to channel his own Soul Power into the Soul Ring, and then he felt that the Soul Skill was about to be activated.
This feeling was the normal sensation of channeling Soul Power into a Soul Ring.
Consuming one's own Soul Power, stimulating the power within the Soul Ring, and triggering the Soul Ring's ability.
Usually at this time, after inputting a certain amount of Soul Power into the Soul Ring, a Soul Master would activate the Soul Skill.
Since the Soul Skill had already been successfully activated, who would continue to channel Soul Power into the Soul Ring?
But with his previous hypothesis, Yu Xiaogang now continuously channeled Soul Power into his first spirit ring, simply refusing to activate the Soul Ring's ability.
A large amount of Soul Power was sent into the Soul Ring, and the purple light of the Soul Ring flickered, as if reminding him that it was time to activate the ability.
But Yu Xiaogang never stopped; anyway, his total amount of Soul Power was enormous, and he didn't feel the loss at all.
In this way, the output of Soul Power continued for an unknown amount of time, so long that Yu Xiaogang almost thought his hypothesis was wrong.
Crack!
A sound that seemed to come from his first spirit ring, and yet also seemed to be the sound of something shattering in Yu Xiaogang's mind, was clearly captured by him.
At the same time, the Soul Ring that had been flickering stopped shining.
That feeling of wanting to activate a Soul Skill vanished, and Yu Xiaogang subconsciously stopped channeling Soul Power into his first spirit ring.
However, in the next second, the Soul Power he had already channeled into the first spirit ring began to flow back into Yu Xiaogang's body.
Yu Xiaogang sensed this Soul Power; it was no different from what he had sent over.
Next, he tried to control the Soul Ring to stop the Soul Power from flowing back into his body.
Very easily, Yu Xiaogang accomplished this.
So he opened the backflow channel again, and in the next second, Soul Power once more began to flow from the Soul Ring into his body, replenishing his Soul Power.
After opening and closing it several times and completely adapting to it, he tried to activate his First Spirit Ability.
Then Yu Xiaogang was surprised to find that this time, to activate the Soul Skill, he only needed a single thought.
The Soul Power consumed when the Soul Skill was activated was entirely the Soul Power that had already flowed into the Soul Ring.
Understanding all this, the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth began to curl upward.
"Oh my, this is truly..."
"Accidentally discovering another World-shaking matter."
