Chapter 75 Personal Test
"From this perspective, I am sure that all the soul masters in the entire continent have not completely [grafted] their soul skills onto their own martial souls."
Zhou Qing simply listed the process of "grafting a new peach tree variety" and "a martial soul obtaining a spirit ring", and compared and summarized, "If you want to completely graft the skills of the spirit ring onto your own martial soul, then the prerequisite is that the soul beast you hunt and your own martial soul need to have a strong affinity."
"For example, peach trees can only be grafted with other varieties of peach trees. For other trees, such as plum trees and apple trees, it goes without saying that they will fail 100% of the time."
Tang San also agreed with this concept, but then he also became confused: "My Blue Silver Grass is a plant martial spirit, but martial spirits are not real plants. Perhaps the plant spirit beasts contained can be wider, but what kind of spirit ring should I choose for my Clear Sky Hammer?"
Soul beasts include animals and plants, and some soul beasts even have special gems and minerals on their shells, but there is definitely no soul beast that looks exactly like a hammer, right?
"Do you remember the differences between the soul skills I analyzed in the Holy Soul Village and the Ghost Shadow, Mysterious Jade Hand and the like?" Zhou Qing asked.
"Remember, that is—"
Tang San was stunned for a moment, then thought of the key point: "Soul skills exist in the soul ring. Every time a soul skill is used, the soul ring will light up, which contains the route of soul power flow. It is similar to my Mysterious Jade Hand, but it exists outside the human body and inside the soul ring... meridians!"
"That's right!"
Zhou Qing said excitedly, "Your Mysterious Jade Hand is a self-created soul skill. The corresponding soul power circulation route involved is within your hands."
"The soul skills of the soul rings have their operating routes inside them. Therefore, to use soul skills, you need to inject soul power into the soul rings. Soul skills can only be used by relying on martial souls. However, in the process of using martial souls for many years, soul masters' own soul power should also carry the attributes of martial souls. The two soul power groups with different attributes brought by your cultivation of two martial souls are proof of this."
"The soul power route of self-created soul skills is connected to the soul power cultivation route of the whole body, or in other words, it is in the large circulation system of the human body, so the power can be continuously improved with one's own cultivation."
"It's just that the soul power circulation route in the soul ring is not in the same system as the human body's meridians. So, to use soul ring skills, we need our own soul power to connect to the martial soul first, and then inject it into the soul ring... Although most soul masters can activate soul ring soul skills in less than a second, if we analyze the whole process, the soul power does have to go through the three stages of soul master-martial soul-soul ring."
Three levels?
This is indeed a bit complicated. Tang San asked excitedly: "So, if we connect our own veins with the soul power circulation routes in the soul ring, we can skip the martial soul and use soul skills directly, and the age of the soul ring can also be continuously improved?"
"The spirit ring should be grafted onto the martial spirit, rather than having the spirit ring directly connected to the human body's veins." Zhou Qing shook his head, "The only way for us to use the skills of spirit beasts is to use the martial spirit, and we humans don't have the strengths of spirit beasts. With the help of the martial spirit, we can obtain spirit rings and make up for our weaknesses."
This has been the way human beings have been since ancient times, and only in this way can human beings develop.
From this perspective, the martial soul is indeed a tool, and a very convenient and fast tool at that. However, in the process of cultivation, the soul master cannot completely regard the martial soul as a tool that can be used at will, because the martial soul also has its own instincts and even soul.
But Tang San was more concerned about how to achieve a perfect connection between the spirit ring and the martial spirit.
"I have an idea, that is, the martial soul itself has a set of soul power circulation methods that are unique to its growth. This is not the same as the soul power circulation method that the martial soul transmits to humans in meditation. It should be more like the martial soul evolves autonomously according to the human meridians in order to grow..."
From this perspective, Zhou Qing regarded the martial soul as a truly independent life. Whether it has wisdom or not is not mentioned for the time being, but it definitely has the function of transforming the human body to be more suitable for it. However, Zhou Qing temporarily put this idea aside. After all, if he continues to think in this direction, he feels that the martial soul is like a parasite living in the human body. For example, the Goddess of Light Butterfly, this kind of martial soul is not inherited through blood, but will choose beautiful women on the continent. It is hard not to be suspicious...
"But the martial spirits themselves should have a unique way of circulating their soul power. Perhaps it can complement the cultivation method it gives us, allowing us to use them better, or in other words, cooperate with each other."
"After all, when we use the skills of the spirit ring, we must use the medium of the martial soul. What we need to do is to sense the soul power circulation path inside the martial soul and find a way to perfectly 'graft' the circulation path inside the martial soul with the circulation path inside the spirit ring. Perhaps, in that way, the spirit ring produced from the soul beast can completely become a part of the martial soul and evolve together with the growth of the martial soul."
When Zhou Qing said this, he did not let Tang San experiment first, but sat down cross-legged and experimented himself.
"Brother Qing, how about I come?"
Tang San felt a little moved.
"No, I need to do this, because I am the originator of the theory, I must do the experiment myself first before I can let others do it. This is responsible for myself and others." Zhou Qing shook his head, asked Tang San to help protect the law, and sank his mind into the sea of spiritual...
“Brother Qing, you will definitely become the greatest master of martial spirit theory!” Having been with Zhou Qing for such a long time, Tang San had seen the other party’s intelligence, hard work, and courage. If such a person could not succeed, then no one in the world could succeed.
The reason why Zhou Qing was able to sink into the sea of spirit was also because of the power of the Innate Internal Classic Diagram, which allowed him to come into contact with spiritual power in advance. The so-called sea of spirit was just the upper dantian.
The Xiantian Neijing diagram is based on the Three Gates and Nine Acupoints, which run through the meridians and acupoints of the whole body. Among them, the upper dantian is located between the two eyes, which controls the "intention" and is the "entry and exit door" of the spirit. It is also called the "life and death door". Once this orifice is opened, one can enter and exit one's own inner world, which is a broader human world that encompasses the sea of spirituality.
Zhou Qing's consciousness carefully sensed the rhythm of his own martial soul and discovered that his blood circulation system did operate differently from the Xiantian Neijing Diagram.
It has the same function as the real blood circulation system in your body: with the heart as the starting point, it pushes the blood through relaxation and contraction, circulating throughout the body and completing the circulation.
"Next, it's the spirit ring!"
Zhou Qing focused his consciousness again and found the soul ring. He discovered that its existence was not integrated with the martial soul, but was suspended on the edge of the martial soul, seemingly close yet distant, connected by some invisible force that could transmit soul power.
"No wonder in the original novel, when Tang San resurrected Xiao Wu, the spirit ring could be expelled, which cut off the vague connection between the spirit ring and the martial spirit."
“If an ordinary spirit master dares to do this, his martial soul will definitely be damaged. But Tang San is different. The Blue Silver Emperor has strong vitality, and his main skills are in the Mysterious Heaven Skill. He also has another martial soul. In addition, in the original work, he is still accepting the Nine Tests of Seagod. The power of the gods and the light of Seagod can definitely repair the damage…”
"Next, let me take a look at what the patterns inside the spirit ring look like!"
