Chapter 265 Let's all go crazy!!
On the Douluo Continent, countless Soul Masters also began to go mad.
This madness is not a loss of reason, but rather the courage to do things that one would never have dared to do before, and to push one's own limits with all one's might.
Some people disregard their own safety and attempt to absorb soul rings of a higher level than their own capacity.
Some people embark on perilous journeys with a slim chance of survival, launching extreme challenges that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of.
In this mad trial that swept across the entire continent, some broke through the shackles and achieved great success.
Some people, however, never achieved their ambitions and collapsed on the road to challenges, never to rise again.
But were these people's sacrifices truly meaningless?
The answer is clearly no.
Those Soul Masters who dared to absorb Soul Rings beyond their level left behind countless invaluable combat data for the continent through their own attempts.
Only at this moment did everyone realize the truth.
Yu Xiaogang's so-called theory of the Ten Martial Souls is utter nonsense and has no practical value whatsoever.
Countless Soul Masters have followed one after another, frantically attempting to absorb Soul Rings from higher-level opponents.
Many of them successfully broke through the so-called theoretical limits and completed the absorption process smoothly.
With the accumulation of more and more practical data, everyone finally figured out the core rules of soul ring absorption.
Whether a Soul Master can absorb a Soul Ring of a higher age depends primarily on their willpower, physical strength, and the grade of their Martial Soul.
If these three qualities are outstanding enough, one can break through the norm and absorb more powerful spirit rings.
Of course, the absorption of spirit rings is not without its limitations.
Those soul beasts with pure and powerful bloodlines, even if their soul rings are of low age, contain incredibly violent power, making them extremely dangerous to absorb.
In contrast, ordinary soul beasts with thin bloodlines have extremely weak power backlash, and the difficulty of absorbing power from higher-level beasts is greatly reduced.
Looking at the diverse fighting styles and immense energy of the powerful beings from beyond the heavens, the martial spirits of Douluo Continent appeared incredibly weak.
Even so, the people of the mainland could not obtain extraterrestrial power and could only cultivate their own martial spirit in order to seek a breakthrough.
Even the Spirit Hall has never given up on refining its own power and has always been committed to researching methods to enhance spirits.
The Spirit Hall has always spared no expense in its research on martial spirits, investing massive amounts of resources.
After witnessing the crazy actions of the geniuses in the sky, the researchers from the Spirit Hall also became completely fanatical.
They even went so far as to use their own bodies as test subjects to conduct various radical martial spirit experiments.
Moreover, the Spirit Hall also recruited a large number of ordinary people.
These people were born without awakening any soul power when they awakened their martial souls, and were destined to be deprived of the path of soul masters.
But in order to explore the mysteries of power, these ordinary people are willing to risk their lives.
They forcibly absorbed the power of the spirit rings, forcing the spirit masters to channel their spirit power into their bodies in an attempt to unleash their physical potential.
This insane experiment resulted in countless ordinary people exploding and dying on the spot, suffering tragic ends.
Even more extreme cases involve transplanting limbs of spirit beasts directly onto one's own body in an attempt to fuse with the power of the spirit beasts.
On the other side, the storage soul tool that Qian Renxue seized from Tang San was also completely dismantled and studied by her subordinates.
All the items inside the soul tool were thoroughly studied and examined.
The Xuan Tian Gong technique recorded in it has been practiced by many people.
There was an ordinary person who, with the idea of going all in, studied and cultivated the Xuan Tian Gong day and night.
The Xuan Tian Gong's cultivation method is obscure and complex, and without anyone to guide you, the path of cultivation is extremely difficult.
But he overcame numerous difficulties and obstacles with extraordinary perseverance.
In the end, he actually succeeded in cultivating the Xuan Tian Gong all by himself.
The internal energy of the Xuan Tian Gong is essentially the same as the soul energy in Douluo Continent.
Even when internal energy and soul energy are converted into each other, there will be no conflict whatsoever.
Upon learning the result, this ordinary person trembled with excitement and was overjoyed.
He was originally a mortal with no soul power, but now, through cultivating the Xuan Tian Gong, he has revitalized his useless martial soul.
If he continues to cultivate, he will be able to become a true Soul Master.
Thinking of all the ridicule and doubt he had faced in the past, he could no longer contain his emotions and burst into tears of joy.
At first, everyone laughed at him for overestimating his abilities and thought he was doing something pointless.
Until the entire continent was engulfed in a wave of frenzied cultivation, no one paid any attention to his obsessive behavior anymore.
Many people even followed him and began to practice the Xuan Tian Gong frantically.
His success can be considered a landmark moment in the entire history of Douluo Continent.
It's important to know that on the Douluo Continent, the number of Soul Masters is extremely small, and the vast majority of people remain ordinary throughout their lives.
If everyone could become a Soul Master by cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique, the overall strength of the continent would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
Becoming a Soul Master is not simply about increasing one's strength.
Having soul power can also greatly extend one's lifespan, which is of great benefit.
Even in terms of people's livelihood and production, it can bring disruptive advantages.
Countless people began to boldly imagine what kind of soul skills those people whose martial soul was a hoe would awaken.
Could they possess extraordinary farming abilities, producing grains with far superior nutrition, enough to feed tens of thousands of soldiers with just one person's labor?
If this can be realized, it will play an immeasurable role in the rear supply and support of the war effort.
And so, the news spread that an ordinary person had successfully cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, giving ordinary people the opportunity to become Soul Masters.
It swept across the entire Douluo Continent in an instant, causing a huge uproar.
The Spirit Hall, the Star Luo Empire, and other major powers all praised him highly and rewarded him handsomely.
Various powerful forces vied to win him over, promising him supreme power and inviting him to join as a core master.
Major sects such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also extended olive branches, making every effort to win over this person.
Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, even considered betrothing his daughter to him, just to bring him under his command.
Despite the overwhelming temptations of power, wealth, and beauty from the outside world, this person remained unmoved and undisturbed.
He did not join any faction, but instead established his own cultivation club on the spot.
He devoted himself to this place and continued to delve into the cultivation method of the Xuan Tian Gong.
He had personally practiced the Xuan Tian Gong and knew best how obscure and difficult this technique was to understand.
For an ordinary person to succeed in cultivation through their own efforts is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Many people have proposed the idea that if all children on the mainland started practicing the Xuan Tian Gong before the age of six.
When you cultivate your martial arts to perfection and awaken your martial soul, you will be able to have full innate soul power, just like Tang San.
But reality is incredibly cruel.
Tang San was a time traveler who had already cultivated the Xuan Tian Gong in his previous life and was well-versed in the essence of the technique.
Even so, it took him several years to complete the first level of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
If ordinary children in mainland China were to begin cultivating when they were only two or three years old and still naive, it would be a mistake.
They can't even understand the meaning of the words in the cultivation method, let alone concentrate on practicing it.
The idea of mass-producing geniuses with innate full soul power is ultimately just an unrealistic fantasy.
