"Blue Silver Mantis Crown!"
Tang San sensed the pain and preemptively activated his healing skill.
Gula didn't cheat; he punched Tang San in the chest, knocking him back three meters.
Tang San staggered back to his feet, feeling a heavy weight on his chest, a suffocating discomfort.
Fortunately, his soul power flowed through the lens of the blue hat, transforming into life force to rapidly heal his discomfort.
He gave a wry smile; the force was too great, a light punch piercing through his soul power protection.
He had to acknowledge the difference in strength between them.
But Tang San didn't immediately concede. Instead, he spurred Blue Silver Grass to spread outwards, forming "tripwires" to force the straight-moving Gula to slow down.
Gula saw Tang San's plan.
With his strength, ignoring the Blue Silver Grass's obstruction, he could likely break the vines.
But he didn't want to gamble on Tang San's control over the Blue Silver Grass, lest he trip and fall in a sorry state.
Groudon activated its first spirit ring, and a gravity field descended, crushing the Blue Silver Grass to the ground.
While Blue Silver Grass was incredibly flexible, its resistance to pressure was only average.
The Blue Silver Grass adhered tightly to the ground, and Groudon easily stepped over it.
Tang San dodged left and right, but was still pressed to the ground by Groudon's concentrated gravity.
Tang San looked dejected: "I lost."
[Groudon experienced a crushing battle, Shop Points +13.]
[Tang San experienced a crushing defeat, Shop Points +6.]
Groudon deactivated its spirit skill, its breathing steady.
It reached out to help Tang San up, patting his shoulder to comfort him:
"Don't be discouraged. Your advantage is your twin martial souls.
Once you cultivate to the Title Douluo level and add a spirit ring to your second martial soul, I won't be your match."
"Really?"
Tang San was skeptical.
"Of course."
Groudon gave Tang San confidence; the mental health of Pokémon is crucial for their growth and battles.
"Think about what I said about absorbing spirit rings being related to physical strength.
So, when you cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo, what age spirit ring should you absorb for your second spirit's first spirit ring?"
Tang San's eyes lit up: "A ten-thousand-year spirit ring?"
"That's right, a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, and it must be at least fifty-thousand-year, otherwise it wouldn't be worthy of your talent."
Gula glanced at the reward, and with a thought, turned off the battle notification.
Tang San thought of his second spirit with ten-thousand-year spirit rings, and his dejected mood improved considerably. He regained his spirits:
"Brother Gula, I understand.
Falling behind temporarily is nothing. I will catch up with you."
"Yes, that's the right way to think.
There's still plenty of time, let's continue training."
Gula smiled, reactivated the gravity field, and immersed himself in training.
After training, Gula asked: "Little San, did Uncle Tang send my thesis to the Spirit Hall?"
"Yes, Dad went out last night and was still sleeping this morning.
He should have sent it."
Tang San nodded, looking at Gula with a questioning gaze.
Gula: "Is there a problem?"
Tang San no longer hesitated: "I don't understand why you want to advertise your research on Soul Master theories to the world?
It's inconvenient because of my father's status; we can't even receive the royalties from the Spirit Hall, and other Soul Masters benefiting won't help us."
"That's all?"
Gula smiled lightly, gazing at the lush green trees swaying in the wind in the distance, appearing quite pleased, and explained:
"The main reason is to solve the problem of the first spirit ring of a thousand years being inconvenient to reveal. Secondly, this world is vast, and reputation is a very important resource for us if we want to gain more."
Tang San seemed to understand but not quite.
Gula didn't explain further, letting Tang San think for himself.
Actually, there weren't that many reasons.
The reason he submitted the paper to the Spirit Hall was because he found a researcher sub-profession in the system.
Published papers would be rewarded by the system based on their influence, so what else was there to say?
With god-level cultivation techniques, Gula could easily produce a paper.
Therefore, in order to solve the problem of his spirit ring being too high-profile, Gula spent a day writing the paper and asked Tang Hao to secretly submit a copy to the Spirit Hall in another city.
To attract attention, the paper used a sensationalist format. The paper, titled
"Shocking!
The Limit Age of a Spirit Master's First Spirit Ring is Actually Wrong!"
pointed out the relationship between a spirit master's physical strength and the upper limit of their spirit ring age, listing various data recorded in books and pointing out a series of evidence.
Evidence includes the medicinal baths of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique of the Clear Sky Clan, and other forces' practice of feeding Soul Masters Soul Beast meat and using exclusive training techniques from a young age.
These methods enhance the physical attributes of Soul Masters, thus widening the gap between them and ordinary Soul Masters.
Previously, this went unnoticed because ordinary Soul Masters typically awaken very low innate Soul Power.
By the time an ordinary Soul Master reaches level ten Soul Power and obtains their first Soul Ring, they are usually already in their teens.
At this point, their physical strength is much greater than at six years old, and the difference between them and seven- or eight-year-old Soul Masters of the same level is not apparent.
However, the difference in physical attributes among people of the same age is an objective and significant fact that cannot be changed.
It is believed that such a paper, so relevant to every Soul Master, will cause a great stir in the Soul Master world and bring Gula a rich reward.
Besides this, Gula harbors a secret ambition: to establish a great image in the Douluo Continent through the paper, gain the worship of Soul Masters, and acquire the power of faith.
In the future, if the Douluo Continent does not have a suitable godhood for Gula, he can create his own godhood through the power of faith.
As for the difficulty of creating his own godhood, he believed that with the resources and knowledge of both realms, as well as the system's assistance, he would definitely be able to overcome the difficulties.
If all else failed, there was always Tang San, who was known for his favoritism; wasn't the point of Gula befriending him to ensure a future safety net?
Of course, the first paper was just a trial run.
Any power possessing a Title Douluo should know the connection between physical strength and the age of spirit rings.
The main reason no one paid attention was the lack of efficient training techniques on the Douluo Continent.
Therefore, Gula also provided a simple training method in his paper, including push-ups, frog jumps, sit-ups, and other methods to train muscles throughout the body.
Even the common training techniques from his previous life were techniques that people had improved over decades.
In the Douluo Continent, this would be a game-changer, strengthening the combat power of lower-level spirit masters and increasing the age of their spirit rings, thus enhancing their potential.
With the number of spirit masters in the Spirit Hall, even if only one percent of the lower-level spirit masters achieved a physical breakthrough, it would still be a significant force, enough to make the Spirit Hall take him seriously.
However, even the most scientific training methods cannot compare to the comprehensive muscle training provided by a gravitational field.
Therefore, Tang San's worries were entirely unnecessary.
Push-ups cannot mobilize extraordinary power; they are only effective in the early stages of a Soul Master's journey.
Once a Soul Master reaches the three-ring Soul Master level and gradually becomes extraordinary, the effectiveness of conventional training methods diminishes.
Furthermore, Gula plans to collect Pokémon at Shrek Academy in the future and really doesn't want to use Yu Xiaogang's silly running training method, as that would make him feel like a fool.
