Chapter 24: "Dividing the Soul to Refine the Soul", 2 Plans
Chapter 24: "Divided Soul Refining Technique", two plans
Yan's training in the three elements of essence, energy and spirit, needless to say, includes meditation.
With the talent displayed by Yan and the accumulation of the Spirit Hall, the high-level meditation method that was given was naturally the most suitable for Yan's Flame Lord's spirit.
Even with You Chen's experience and worldly knowledge, it would be difficult to improve it.
But physical training starts off differently.
When You Chen was young, in order to increase the possibility of his martial soul evolving as much as possible, he pursued perfection in every aspect.
Very early on, he brought the scientific training methods of his previous life to this world, and made certain localized modifications based on the physique of soul masters and the characteristics of their martial souls.
Although this set of scientific training methods cannot compare to the physical training methods in the world of martial arts, it is definitely far superior to the knowledge level of this world.
And it is far better than Yu Xiaogang's running training method.
You Chen also made targeted modifications to this scientific training method based on the characteristics of Yan's martial soul and then taught it to Yan.
Needless to say, Yan's talent is great. After years of daily training, he has naturally mastered it to perfection.
The only regret is that Yan's mental talent is average, and You Chen's "Distraction Soul Refining Technique" can be said to be a spiritual secret method developed completely according to his own talent, and its compatibility with Yan is also average.
Even though You Chen made some modifications to some of the books in the Spirit Hall in order to adapt to General Yan's secret method, he only slightly improved the efficiency of practice.
In this world where there is no common method to improve spiritual power through practice, Yan is already blessed with a unique and fast improvement in spiritual power. Otherwise, he would not have been surpassed by Xie Yue in terms of soul power improvement despite having distracted so much of his energy.
But compared with the improvement speed in the other two aspects, it is really not that good.
"If you want to achieve the final form of the 'mobile flying turret' I described, you must never stop practicing the Soul Refining Technique of Distracted Mind. At this stage, if you just stand still and fire, you will not be able to maintain the form of the Vulcan Cannon because of my attack. In the future, you will have to maintain accurate artillery attacks while moving... I hope that in the future you can at least reach the stage of dividing your mind into three functions."
In terms of effect alone, "The Art of Distracted Soul Refining" is even better than the "Distracted Control" secret method of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
However, this method of spiritual cultivation requires his natural talent of multitasking, and no one else can practice it - perhaps people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can practice it, but the thick barrier between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect blocks this possibility.
The reason why Yan was able to practice was, of course, because he relied on the "grandfather" behind Yan, a "plug-in" named You Chen.
Through the trust between master and disciple, and Yan's own innocent mentality, and by actively performing the secret technique of hypnosis, an effect similar to "initiation" was achieved, and Yan was forced to complete his initiation.
Is it necessary to expend so much energy?
The answer is yes. "Dividing the Soul to Refine the Soul" has such value.
You Chen’s talent is definitely not low, he is definitely a genius.
It was probably due to the fact that his physical body traveled through time and space. You Chen was not a native resident of this Douluo world, and his soul power was gradually developed through the assimilation of the acquired world, so it was insufficient at first.
And this "Art of Distracting and Refining the Soul" is the best embodiment of the natural talent of this genius.
If it could be fully perfected, it would definitely be a top-notch secret method that could be used to establish a new school.
Unlike Qibao's distraction control, distraction control only does different things at the same time, but cannot carry out multiple different or even conflicting thoughts. For example, Youchen can use completely different soul skills with his left and right hands and achieve perfect coordination, and change his moves freely when fighting the enemy.
But if Ning Rongrong used different spirit skills with her left and right hands, she would not be able to change the direction of the spirit skills once she used them, which would be even more rigid. Because originally she had to concentrate on using a spirit skill, and now she had to control it with divided attention, how could she achieve perfection?
Distracted control is equivalent to fighting with both hands, while distracted soul refining is equivalent to adding an extra thinking circuit. They are two completely different concepts.
You Chen is now able to reach the state of four minds where the mind is divided into four functions.
And after several years of practice, Yan barely entered the state of second mind.
You can think of complex tactics at the same time and perfectly use the Vulcan Cannon. Or you can maintain the offensive and defensive capabilities of a normal strong attack spirit master while using the Vulcan Cannon.
Yan's Vulcan Cannon has not yet formed an instinctive control, and must spend a lot of mental energy to control and maintain it. In addition, Yan's second mind state is not stable enough, so there was a gap before.
This secret method becomes more difficult to master in the later stages. With the help of You Chen, Yan spent about three years to enter the second heart realm. You Chen's requirement for him was to reach the third heart realm at the Soul Saint stage, which would be enough for him to be able to perform the "flying turret" mode.
As if feeling that his progress had disappointed the teacher, Yan lowered his head somewhat disappointedly and gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher, I will work harder next time!"
"No, I never expected you to make any leaps and bounds in this area."
"Uh."
You Chen glanced at the dumbfounded Yan and said calmly, "Correctly assessing the abilities of disciples is also a quality that a qualified teacher should possess."
He paused for a moment and continued, "In another year, or at most two years, you will have to absorb the fourth ring. If your mental strength is insufficient, no matter how strong your will is, the soul master who leads you to hunt soul beasts will not let you absorb the ten thousand year soul ring.
Although Hu Liena has the lowest talent among the three of you, it must be said that she really benefited from the version bonus.
Relying on the adaptability of the fox spirit to spiritual attributes, even if her mental strength is a little lower, she can still withstand the mental impact of the ten thousand year spirit ring.
Relying on the enhancements that the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring brings to spirit masters, at the Spirit Sect stage, her overall strength might actually surpass Xie Yue, who is unloved by both her parents, and you, whose system has not yet been fully formed.
Not to mention that you probably can't accept this situation. For your own growth, of course you should do your best at every stage.
Therefore, regardless of the practice of the "Dividing the Soul Refining Technique", you must also raise your mental power to the Spiritual Sea Realm before absorbing the fourth ring. In this regard, I will give you two options."
Under Yan's anxious and expectant gaze, You Chen slowly raised two fingers.
Yan swallowed his saliva. He didn't know what kind of solution You Chen would come up with. He only knew that his teacher had never let him down.
Even though he was criticized as a mediocre teacher by countless people a few years ago, he finally refuted his mistakes and proved the truth with facts.
"The first option. I have a head soul bone that is tens of thousands of years old. After absorbing it, your spiritual power will definitely be able to break through to the Spiritual Sea Realm."
