Chapter 213 Cyclic Changes
"In the cultivation of martial spirits, attributes are not the key, but talent is the foundation?"
When Tang San came back from the blacksmith shop, he couldn't help but look sideways when he learned that Zhou Qing had proposed this new martial soul training theory while analyzing the types and directions of martial soul skills that Romantina would need in the future.
Attributes refer to ice, fire, water, thunder, life, etc.
Talent refers to the role and function of the martial soul itself, such as: a sword can be used for swinging, the brain can be used for thinking, and sausages can be used for eating.
Attributes are the catalyst that drives the growth of talent, and soul power is the key energy that drives the growth of martial souls.
Therefore, when cultivating martial souls and obtaining spirit rings, one should move in the direction that can promote the growth of martial soul talent!
However, under normal circumstances, choosing a spirit ring with attributes consistent with those of the martial soul can promote the growth of the martial soul's talent, but if you want to reach a more perfect level, it is best to carefully select each spirit ring.
"That's right. Whether it's a weapon spirit or a beast spirit, they all have corresponding talents. When it comes to choosing spirit rings and spirit skills, it's most important to fully utilize their original talents, and you shouldn't just pursue offensive spirit skills."
Zhou Qing said, "This is a detailed supplement to the theory I proposed before. However, after this supplement, the skills of your first spirit ring will not be so suitable for blue silver grass."
"It's okay. After all, when we got our first soul ring, we couldn't go to the wild soul beast forests like the Xingdou Great Forest, which have abundant soul beast resources, to look for the most suitable soul beasts."
Noticing Zhou Qing's apology, Tang San smiled and didn't care.
Not to mention that he was quite satisfied with the effect of his first soul skill, life accumulation, and he also obtained a soul bone. More importantly, the first soul ring completed the second refining. The age of the soul ring and the power of the soul skill can continue to increase and become stronger with the improvement of his own soul power and the growth of his martial soul.
What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
"That's true, but we already have our first soul ring and a certain level of strength. We can also gain a lot of experience in exploring wild soul beast forests from Sister Yi and the others. As long as your soul guides and hidden weapons are fully prepared, we may take the initiative to explore those soul hunting forests with slightly richer soul beast resources to obtain our second soul ring in the future."
Zhou Qing estimated that with his and Tang San's training speed, their spirit power would reach level 19 by the end of this semester, so they had to consider the second spirit ring. "Through the 'Friendly Tournament', we have some understanding of the situation in the spirit master world. When we encounter those soul hunting groups, we just need to keep our distance and be careful."
"It is indeed a good thing to prepare a plan in advance to ensure that everything goes well, but what talent does my Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit have?"
After confirming Zhou Qing's idea, Tang San also wondered which soul beast to choose for the second soul ring of the Blue Silver Grass.
Softness and toughness are just characteristics of Blue Silver Grass, not a talent.
Tenacious vitality...
Vitality is an attribute, not a talent.
From a functional point of view, Blue Silver Grass seems to be a useless martial spirit, without any practical use at all - the leaves of Blue Silver Grass can be used to weave into baskets, bags, etc., but this is not the talent of Blue Silver Grass itself, but an acquired way of using the leaves of Blue Silver Grass.
This can be used as a direction for development, but it cannot be considered as the talent of the martial soul itself, right?
"Regarding the talent of Blue Silver Grass... When you cultivate your soul power in the future, especially when you practice the skills passed on to you by Blue Silver Grass, you can try to practice on the grassy field behind the academy." Zhou Qing gave a suggestion, "The Blue Silver Grass that can stand on equal footing with your hammer is definitely not an ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
"What is that Blue Silver Grass?" Tang San blurted out.
"It's still Blue Silver Grass."
Zhou Qing gave an answer that left Tang San speechless, but he also realized that practicing in a place full of blue silver grass was the so-called simulated practice environment.
"By the way." Zhou Qing added, "You can also try to practice in a meadow or forest without blue silver grass but with other weeds for comparison. I think, with your mental strength and careful feeling, you should be able to find the difference, which will help you better determine the talent of blue silver grass."
"Comparison?" Tang San's eyes lit up, realizing that Zhou Qing could always come up with some seemingly simple but highly effective suggestions, "I see."
"After confirming the role of your Blue Silver Grass talent, I will also try my best to help you plan the most suitable second spirit ring option for you based on our current conditions."
The soul bone turmoil in Notting City was over on the surface, but there were still undercurrents. In order to be on the safe side, Tang San had to be further strengthened.
"Thanks."
Tang San was very happy.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qing's expression changed: "This is getting distant."
"Um, haha, that's right, what's the point of saying thank you between us?" Tang San was stunned, then laughed and asked about Zhou Qing's martial arts spirit's talent in the blood circulation system to change the subject.
Zhou Qing has done some research on the blood circulation system:
The properties of the circulatory system can be summarized by the word "qi and blood".
And talent?
From a medical point of view, the human body's circulatory system has three main functions: transporting nutrients, metabolizing waste, and maintaining normal physiological activities of the human body.
When the blood circulation system becomes a martial soul, it must also possess these three talents, but in summary, it can also be summarized in one word -
cycle.
The method of cultivation passed on to him by his martial soul, the Xiantian Neijing Diagram, is essentially to assist him in building an inner world cycle based on soul power.
The growth goal of the martial soul itself is to finally achieve a complete balance with the inner world cycle constructed by his body.
This is equivalent to making the "gears" of the two circulatory systems fit perfectly.
In this process, spirit rings and spirit skills are not that important. It is just that Zhou Qing himself needs attack-type spirit skills for self-defense in order to grow to that level.
Earth fire feng shui.
These four elements are the options for the first four soul rings that Zhou Qing summarized for his own soul power cultivation.
For a soul beast that is suitable for a martial soul with a blood circulation system, it actually only needs to meet the condition of "full of qi and blood", and "vitality" is a byproduct.
Which soul beast with abundant Qi and blood would not have strong vitality?
However, in order to condense the four great true elements in the Xiantian Neijing diagram, and to thereby open up and construct the foundation of a true microcosm of the human body and the inner spiritual landscape, it is necessary to condense earth, fire, wind, and water.
Zhou Qing has already thought of the next element to be condensed, which is water.
The earth is the root of all things.
Water is the source of all changes.
By condensing the earth and water, Zhou Qing's foundation would be half completed. More importantly, Zhou Qing also has another ambition: to control the cycle of the four seasons.
When absorbing the spirit ring of Moo Spring Ox, Zhou Qing clearly felt a strange vitality different from life force running through his spine. In addition, Moo Spring Ox actually exploded a head spirit bone that only spiritual spirit beasts can explode. Therefore, Zhou Qing was willing to believe:
The mooing spring ox is really related to the climate of "spring"!
So when he absorbed the soul ring, he also absorbed the breath of "Spring" into himself.
