Chapter 19: Yan's Training Path
Chapter 19: Yan's Training Path (Part )
You Chen observed the changes in Yan's aura, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
During this period of time, he was busy preparing to leave Wuhun City, and Yan had been out for training with Hu Liena and others some time ago. The master and disciple had not seen each other for a long time.
After a quick observation, You Chen knew that Yan had not fallen behind in his studies during this period.
The soul power level has been raised to level 36, and the control of soul power has become more smooth and free.
Considering the training of soul power, physical strength and mental strength, Yan cannot fall behind.
By the way, Yan is one year older than Hu Liena. He is level 12 at the age of 36, which is 12 levels higher than the 29 level when Tang San was 7 years old and just graduated from Notting City College in the original novel.
Xie Yue's cultivation speed was similar to Yan's, and he also reached level 36. This was also the reason why he dared to disregard You Chen in his heart.
In fact, this cultivation speed is not exaggerated.
Even Yan's cultivation speed did not exceed Xie Yue's because after he became You Chen's apprentice, some of the homework assigned by You Chen slowed down Yan's speed of accumulating soul power.
After You Chen published "Don't Use Whale Glue" and Spirit Hall monopolized whale glue, the three members of the golden generation all enjoyed the benefits of whale glue.
The soul power improved by whale glue is secondary.
The most important thing is that with the cultivation of the highest-level resources and their own qualifications meeting the standards, the age of the spirit rings they absorb at each level has been greatly increased.
It was okay when I was absorbing the first ring and was younger and couldn’t handle too many supplements.
After absorbing the second and third rings, they directly jumped 3 levels.
Normally, a soul master would only increase his soul power by 1 level after absorbing a soul ring with the best age. However, for Tang San's third soul ring, after exceeding the age limit (the best age limit was more than 1700 years, and Tang San absorbed 3000 years of it), it was increased by an additional level.
The resources enjoyed and the training received by the three people of the Spirit Hall's golden generation are far beyond Tang San's reach. The years of their second and third soul rings are much longer than the original best years, and their soul power levels are also increased more.
All in all, it is equivalent to at least one year more of practice than the average person.
The advantage in cultivation level brought by more soul ring energy will probably not be weakened until after the sixth-ring Soul Emperor.
Because it is much more difficult to find and hunt soul beasts that are old and suitable for soul masters than those that are young.
In addition to Yan's high level of soul power, his physical body has also been well polished.
The only thing that made You Chen somewhat dissatisfied was the training of his mental strength.
However, considering Yan Wu's rough character, he is indeed not very suitable for the spiritual secret method he created based on his multitasking talent. It is understandable that the improvement of his mental power lags behind?
In addition to the cultivation of the three elements of essence, energy and spirit, You Chen's way of cultivating Yan's Fire Lord martial soul and his choice of soul skills are also very different from the original work.
When Yan absorbed his first soul ring, he had not yet become his disciple, so his soul skill is the same as in the original novel, called "Hell Magma Rush". (The original novel doesn't seem to have written this, so let's just assume that the mobile game gives the original novel)
Simply put, it is a soul skill that shoots out magma at high speed and causes it to explode.
In addition to bringing soul skills, this soul ring only slightly improves the energy intensity of the Fire Lord.
However, the improvement of a hundred-year-level first ring to a top-level martial soul can be said to be negligible.
If the Flame Lord wants to achieve the evolution of his martial soul, the conditions required are much simpler than the evolution path of the Stardust Dragon.
Because this is a violent one-shot, even the special abilities are simple and clear, focusing on the dual attributes of fire and earth.
Of course, just because the conditions are simple and clear doesn’t mean it’s easy to achieve martial soul evolution.
The evolution of a top-level martial spirit into a super martial spirit is no less difficult than the evolution of a mid-level martial spirit into a top-level martial spirit. This process is indeed difficult, but it can also be said to be easy, and in a sense it is easy.
As long as you follow the correct path and don't absorb any inexplicable spirit rings, such as absorbing a soft bone rabbit spirit ring when your martial spirit is clearly of fire and earth attributes... then when Yan absorbs nine spirit rings and becomes a Titled Douluo, the martial spirit will basically be able to evolve into super quality.
As long as he simply stacks up the levels of dual-attribute energy of fire and earth, the improvement brought by nine soul rings, and those super-age soul rings, will almost certainly make his martial soul achieve qualitative change through quantitative change.
Even if there is a slight shortfall, once Yan reaches a high enough level, he will be able to make up for it by absorbing suitable soul bones.
This process is simpler than "evolving an intermediate martial soul into a top-level martial soul" in that soul masters with intermediate martial souls basically do not have the talent to become Titled Douluo and have the upgrade of nine soul rings.
Therefore, You Chen’s plan for Yan was not to improve the quality of his martial soul from the very beginning.
What he has been thinking about is how to maximize the combat effectiveness of the Flame Lord's martial spirit.
There are roughly two directions to enhance the combat capability of martial arts spirits: strengthening strengths and making up for weaknesses.
After carefully studying the characteristics of the Fire Lord, You Chen's attention quickly focused on its shortcomings.
As a top-level martial spirit, the Flame Lord's shortcomings are undoubtedly its slower speed and greater soul power consumption compared to other top-level martial spirits.
This shortcoming is of course only relative. Facing a high-level martial spirit, a well-rounded Flame Lord undoubtedly has an overwhelming advantage in all aspects.
Unlike Hu Liena's fox demon, whose strengths and weaknesses are obvious, there is a risk of being overthrown by the weak.
According to many records of the Spirit Hall, when a top-level spirit evolves into a super spirit, it usually strengthens its strengths, and then, if there is surplus, it improves its weaknesses.
You Chen judged that after the evolution of the Flame Lord, speed and endurance would still be its disadvantages. In his martial soul's six-dimensional scoring system, it might even continue to maintain a score of 3 points.
Between endurance and speed, Youchen's first reaction was to increase speed.
After all, the comprehensive ability is sufficient, and the enemy can be knocked down directly before the soul power and physical strength are exhausted, so there is no disadvantage of insufficient endurance.
The speed is different. Faster speed means higher fault tolerance and better output environment.
Based on the characteristics of the Flame Lord's martial soul, You Chen, while focusing on making up for his speed shortcoming, quickly came up with a plan that could both enhance the Flame Lord's mobility and, to a certain extent, its output capabilities.
The Fire Lord's special ability is "fire rock control", not "magma control".
It has the strongest control when it comes to manipulating the mixed energy of fire and earth, and in addition to that, it also has a high level of control over fire energy and earth energy.
So this ability can be seen as "fire control" + "earth control" + "magma control".
You Chen saw from this a future where Yan would have a more meticulous control over his own soul power.
You Chen's martial soul can manipulate wind, sacred, and star energies at the same time.
But even with his soul control ability which was countless times greater than Yan's current one, he was still unable to manipulate the sacred or star energy independently, except for the wind energy which was the easiest to control.
Only by using the soul skills of the soul ring can this be done.
The difference is equivalent to the hand-rolled ultimate move in King of Fighters and the ultimate move in simple mode.
But Yan is different, his martial soul has the innate ability to control fire and earth more easily.
