Chapter 13: Title Pre-Determined at Age 6
As is well known, there are very few restrictions on the sacrifice of soul beasts.
Basically, as long as the soul beast is completely willing, there won't be any problems with the sacrifice.
Sacrifice also has an extremely important characteristic.
If the sacrificer burns their own life energy and then merges their soul into the soul ring, then this sacrifice will not have any level restrictions, will not be subject to pressure, and will not cause soul tremors.
The sacrificed person can easily obtain a 100,000-year soul ring, even if the other party is only a level 16 soul master!
In just a moment, thanks to Xiao Wu's sacrifice, Jiang Ci'an's soul power surged like a flood, easily breaking through the bottleneck and reaching level 20.
A blood-red spirit ring suddenly appeared, naturally encircling Jiang Ci'an and radiating a chilling pressure.
Jiang Ci'an did not move.
He was too lazy to actively accept the spirit ring, but simply observed the process of its formation and felt the spirit ring being naturally absorbed by his body.
As for everything else, Xiao Wu was free to do it herself.
Soon, the spirit ring completely disappeared into his body, and with the violent surge of his aura, his spirit power level, which had been stagnant at level 20, changed again!
Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three...
His level rose rapidly, reaching level 30 in no time before stopping again due to a bottleneck.
The sacrifice was finally coming to an end, and the surrounding red flames slowly dissipated.
Xiao Wu's figure had completely disappeared into the air, leaving only a huge charred ring on the lawn as a trace of the sacrifice.
Jiang Ci'an looked at the spot where Xiao Wu had disappeared and sighed softly, feeling a little regretful.
If a few more 100,000-year-old soul beasts were to sacrifice themselves for him, his cultivation level would not only jump directly to the Title Douluo realm, but at least reaching the Soul King or Soul Emperor realm should not be a problem.
Of course, it's just a thought.
This level of cultivation can't be taken out with me.
He had previously thought that he might be able to obtain a second soul ring through sacrifice, thereby enabling his "World Modulation Mode" martial soul to unlock more strange soul skills.
However, although he can obtain soul rings in this virtual world, the soul skills he acquires cannot be obtained in the same way as in reality, and he cannot obtain those special abilities.
For example, right now, the soul skills attached to his 100,000-year soul ring are Void and Invincible Golden Body.
These are two very powerful defensive skills, but they are far inferior to his "Indifference" from the 500-year-old Silent Rat.
Furthermore, they cannot receive special blessings in this world like "Indifferent".
It has only some research value left.
Of course, this is not important.
The important thing is the 100,000-year-old soul ring itself.
Jiang Ci'an lowered his eyes, looking at the crimson soul rings surrounding him, his gaze thoughtful.
As is widely known, the Haotian Sect has a secret technique called "Ring Explosion".
By using a secret technique to detonate the soul ring, a massive amount of soul power is released in a short period of time to empower oneself, thereby unleashing astonishing strength far exceeding the normal state!
So, here's the question.
Is there a way to truly increase one's soul power level by using the principle of "ring explosion"?
This is a question worth studying.
After observing Tang Hao's ring-breaking process multiple times as a reference, he discovered:
The reason why ring explosion can only be used to improve combat power in a short time and cannot directly improve cultivation is that the method of ring explosion is too direct.
While it is indeed possible to shatter the spirit ring and release its immense energy, due to the method used, the energy contained within would instantly become violent, making it impossible for it to be refined and absorbed.
At the same time, if the person whose ring has exploded is not strong enough, this violent energy cannot stay in their body for too long, otherwise their body will be overloaded and they will explode and die.
Because of all these factors, a normal person who has just broken a spirit ring will only use it up hastily.
It might unleash a powerful strike, or break through some kind of restriction or constraint, but it will never allow the violent energy after the ring shatters to remain in the body for too long.
Over time, "ring explosion" became a fixed explosive attack method.
Even with subsequent improvements, the method of explosion was only slightly optimized and changed; the energy remained violent and could not be absorbed or refined.
But he had a different idea.
Since detonating a spirit ring all at once would cause the energy to become violent and the body unable to withstand it, then...
Is it possible to avoid exploding the entire structure at once, and instead just chisel a small opening, absorbing the energy flowing from the refined soul ring through this tiny gap to improve one's cultivation level?
In addition, spirit rings themselves possess the characteristics of self-repair and energy replenishment...
Isn't this equivalent to connecting an external energy absorption device?
Of course, this is just Jiang Ci'an's ideal scenario.
After all, even if it's just a small opening, the energy flowing out of the spirit ring won't be small. A large amount of energy surging into the body would be difficult for the body to withstand.
But that's when "martial arts" came in handy!
Why did he create "martial arts"?
For a powerful physique? For invincibility among those of the same level?
No, those are just side effects.
The real purpose is to improve one's cultivation level as quickly as possible!
Even if a level 20 Great Soul Master or a level 30 Soul Venerable is incredibly talented and invincible among their peers, they are still just an ant that can be crushed with a single finger in front of a Title Douluo or even a god.
You should know that a certain god-king in the divine realm is capable of actually doing things like a superior cultivator attacking a subordinate cultivator!
Therefore, his real purpose is to build a method for himself that can accelerate the attainment of titles, reach the limit, and even become a god!
As for the complete refinement of the "martial arts" system, and its development into a comprehensive cultivation system...
Once his cultivation level is high enough, and he has a commanding perspective, wouldn't that be even simpler?
And now!
The body strengthened by "martial arts" can easily bear the energy flowing out of the gap in the soul ring, then refine it to improve the soul power level and physical strength. After the energy is absorbed, the gap is plugged and the soul ring accumulates energy on its own.
Once the accumulation is complete, then break it open and absorb it again!
Subsequently, relying on the powerful physique gained from the nurturing of the spirit ring energy, they were able to absorb spirit rings of higher age than their level!
A higher-age spirit ring contains more energy, which can improve spirit power and physique more quickly; after the physique is improved, it can absorb spirit rings of even higher age.
This cycle repeats itself endlessly, like a snowball rolling downhill, accelerating and accelerating!
It should be noted that, under normal circumstances, a Soul Master with good talent can advance five levels in a year during the early stages of cultivation.
However, the cultivation speed will decrease with each subsequent breakthrough.
From five levels a year to three levels a year, and then to two levels or even less a year after reaching the Soul Emperor or Soul Saint level.
Even figures like Tang San and Huo Yuhao were only granted titles in their twenties.
Is this slow? No! However, if his method works and is successfully developed, perhaps five levels a year will become the norm, or even faster, six or seven levels a year!
ten years...
No, he might achieve a title in less than ten years!
