The training hall had taken on a completely different appearance. Gu Xuan stood on the high platform, talking eloquently like a teacher. Qin Ming and the seven members of the original Emperor Team were like eager students hungry for knowledge, listening intently while some even held notebooks in their hands, scribbling furiously.
"Limit-surpassing soul ring absorption is not impossible, and the theory of soul ring limits is not absolute. That is merely the boundary for most people when absorbing soul rings."
Gu Xuan looked at the crowd, who were listening as seriously as elementary school students, and began to recount his theories—a mix of what he had copied from netizens in his previous life and his personal experiences in this one.
"Before reaching the ten-thousand-year level, among ten-year, hundred-year, and thousand-year soul rings, there isn't actually a so-called fixed limit for any soul rings except for those of special spiritual-attribute soul beasts."
"This limit is actually related to a soul master's physical constitution, Martial Soul strength, willpower, and even their mindset. I'm not boasting; just look at me, the person standing before you who successfully achieved limit-surpassing absorption."
"My first soul ring is six hundred years old, but it didn't have to be. It also depends on the quality of the soul beast. For instance, you might be able to absorb a five-hundred-year caterpillar soul ring, but if you switched it for a dragon-type soul ring, you might only be able to withstand a limit of one hundred years."
"Naturally, a smart person would choose a hundred-year dragon-type ring and give up on a five-hundred-year caterpillar. This proves that there is no fixed limit; everything depends on the soul masters themselves."
He paused, allowing them time to digest the information. Although everyone had doubts in their hearts, even the cold "big sister" Ye Lingling showed a thirst for knowledge, yet no one interrupted him.
After a moment, Gu Xuan continued. "Therefore, before absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, physical constitution occupies the vast majority of the advantage. As long as your body is strong enough, it is feasible for your first soul ring to be at the thousand-year level."
"However, once the soul ring reaches the ten-thousand-year level, the situation changes again." Gu Xuan paused, his gaze sweeping across the faces of those before him. Finally, when everyone's eyes were fixed on him, his gaze settled on Dugu Yan.
"Senior, you tell us. What is the biggest difference between absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring and a thousand-year one?"
Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected to be suddenly questioned, feeling a sense of pressure akin to being called on by a teacher during a theory class.
Fortunately, her theoretical knowledge was solid. She paused, stood up, and replied. "The biggest difference is that soul beasts producing ten-thousand-year rings have already gained significant intelligence and possess powerful spiritual power. Absorbing a ten-thousand-year ring produces a 'Soul Shock' that is absent when absorbing thousand-year rings."
Clap, clap, clap!
Gu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, applauding Dugu Yan.
He then said, "Senior is correct. It is precisely because the ten-thousand-year soul ring adds the Soul Shock—a feature that makes absorption much harder—that limit-surpassing absorption becomes significantly more difficult once you reach that level. Theoretically, it shouldn't exist."
Hearing this, the excitement on Qin Ming's face instantly froze, and he let out a dejected sigh. However, Gu Xuan was not finished.
"Of course, as I said, that is only theoretical. In fact, ten-thousand-year soul rings can also be absorbed beyond the usual limits."
"There are many prerequisites involved. Everyone's Martial Soul, personality, and talent are different, so the required conditions vary."
"For example, for soul masters who specialize in the spiritual attribute, the Soul Shock of a ten-thousand-year ring is not as daunting. They only need to strengthen their bodies while gradually cultivating their spiritual power to have a greater chance of limit-surpassing absorption."
Qin Ming's already dim expression turned even grayer. Did this mean he had no chance of limit-surpassing absorption?
But Gu Xuan's words continued. "Naturally, that is just a special case. For most soul masters, the most important thing for limit-surpassing absorption is first having a powerful physique capable of withstanding the ring's pressure, followed by spiritual power requirements. Aside from cultivation, spiritual power can also be boosted by finding a head soul bone or certain medicines."
"In short, none of this is absolute. Opportunity favors the prepared. Since spiritual power cannot be easily cultivated, strengthen your physique first. That way, if you happen to find a way to boost your spiritual power, you won't be held back by an insufficient physique."
"Furthermore, even if your spiritual power cannot be enhanced, a stronger physique allows you to swap a fifteen-thousand-year caterpillar ring for a fifteen-thousand-year dragon ring. The gap between them is massive; soul ring quality is a crucial foundation for any soul master."
Listening to Gu Xuan, Qin Ming's eyes lit up again. True! Even if spiritual power couldn't be boosted, a stronger body would allow him to increase the quality of his rings, wouldn't it?
Yu Tianheng and the other seven were even more excited. At this point, Yu Tianheng had stopped thinking about his uncle's Ten Great Core Spirit Competencies; after all, a living example was right here.
Everything Gu Xuan said sounded logical, and with his own status as proof, no one doubted he would lie about such a serious matter.
They all currently only had three soul rings. Even if they couldn't surpass the limit for a ten-thousand-year ring yet, they could do so for their fourth ring!
The limit for the fourth ring was five thousand years. If they started strengthening their physiques now, couldn't they absorb a fourth ring exceeding that limit in the future?
How could they not be excited?
This was a benefit they could achieve simply through hard work, and though they were noble young masters, the thing they feared least was effort.
What they feared was suffering for no gain.
If suffering could bring rewards like Gu Xuan's, they would be more than happy to endure it every day.
The event where a Rank 33 Gu Xuan fought the Rank 37 Yu Tianheng had just happened and was fresh in everyone's minds, especially for Yu Tianheng, who had experienced it personally.
Who wouldn't want to fight across ranks? Which young person didn't want to stand out?
It could be said that what Gu Xuan brought them today was not just knowledge, but a future and a path forward!
