Chapter 97 You Chen's Choice
Chapter 97 You Chen's Choice (Part )
After Ignis successfully absorbed the soul ring, You Chen's purpose of this trip could be said to have been basically achieved.
Verified the feasibility of the Soul Power Borrowing Method for absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring;
Allowing Ignis to at least have the strength of a Soul King can help the Soul Beasts obtain the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring later - this is considered an over-achievement;
The group strength of the Soul Beasts and their experience in operating in the Star Forest were tested;
Tested the lethality of the Black Fire Crossbow.
The four goals can be said to have been successfully achieved.
However, after witnessing Ignis using the Soul Power Borrowing Technique to absorb the soul ring, You Chen remembered his own dilemma.
Struggling over whether to equip my alt with soul rings now.
You Chen calculated that the maximum lifespan of the second soul ring is 3 years, and correspondingly, the maximum lifespan of the third soul ring is 5 years.
After a year of experience with these two levels of soul beasts, he is now fully capable of hunting them on his own and escaping safely.
Because he couldn't explain to Diwan and other good friends why he had to absorb a new spirit ring so soon... or in other words, his trust in Diwan and others was not enough to reveal this card now.
Therefore, a big part of the problem in hunting for subsequent spirit rings for himself was that You Chen himself was not strong enough.
But now, he already has such strength.
In other words, because of his mastery of the "Breath-Containing Technique", he no longer needs to acquire strength far beyond the power of hunting soul beasts of the corresponding age.
Because even if he might provoke the big boss behind the target, he can use the Breath-Concealing Technique to escape from the scene as soon as possible without being discovered.
Therefore, he can now hunt for the small second and third soul rings, and then hunt for the large sixth soul ring, and directly ascend to the Soul Emperor.
It is more likely that the small account will be able to reach the bottleneck of level 60 after absorbing the second soul ring.
As for absorbing the fourth, fifth and sixth rings of the small one, and then hunting for the seventh ring of the large one to directly ascend to Soul Saint?
No, You Chen’s seventh ring’s target was a soul beast whose strength was not inferior to that of a hundred thousand year old soul beast, that is, a soul beast whose strength had reached the Titled Douluo level.
At this stage he is unable to complete the hunt.
However, if he were to be promoted to Soul Emperor and practice the Divine Elephant Prison Power further, he would definitely be able to possess the combat power of a Soul Douluo.
Even when facing Tang Hao, this Tang Hao who has not yet fully recovered, still has the strength to struggle.
This feeling of security... is simply incomparable.
In addition, after having stronger strength, You Chen’s subsequent harvesting of task line one will naturally be smoother and faster!
However... You Chen's ambition does not stop there.
Through the "Soul Power Borrowing Method", you can forcibly borrow up to ten levels of soul power, and without the need for any other additional resources, you can increase the optimal lifespan of your soul ring.
This kind of invention is unprecedented in the Douluo Continent.
In the past, this was a realm that only gods could enter...
You Chen's soul power borrowing method does not have any trace of using divine power. It is a god-like feat of stepping into the realm of gods by relying solely on the strength of a mortal!
In a sense, this may be better than the increase in the soul ring age in the divine test.
Because You Chen has already used several "Soul Ring Age Enhancement Cards" to test it, after the solidified soul ring has been aged with the age enhancement card, the soul ring's attribute increase and soul skill power have been enhanced.
but……
The essence of the martial soul will not be improved. For example, the essence of the soul ring in this process is just an accelerant, and the reason why the martial soul absorbs the soul ring and obtains abnormal changes is actually the sublimation brought about by the level of the martial soul itself breaking the shackles of the rules.
This is a gift from the rules of this world. It is a benefit given by the world to soul masters to be closer to the gods. It is an underlying law that even the gods cannot tamper with.
Of course, what is referred to here is only the evolution of the martial soul during the process of absorbing spirit rings. Using other means to enhance the essence of the martial soul is another topic.
Therefore, the years that a martial soul absorbs the soul ring are more valuable than the years that are added later.
Naturally, the higher the value, especially the key ones, the better.
So, is there a way to go higher?
The answer is of course yes.
This is because the soul power borrowing method can overcome one limit and borrow soul power for 10 years. This is the limit of other soul masters restricted by the world, not Youchen's limit!
The upper limit of the soul power level that the trumpet can actually receive is 57-20=37!
But I have only been researching the soul power borrowing method for a year, and I can only borrow up to level 10.
This is largely due to the lack of experimental samples.
Being able to hold it back for two or three levels is already considered a lot, but no one can really hold it back for 10 levels, let alone higher levels!
This naturally leads to a sharp increase in the difficulty of research and development!
The current amount is the result of You Chen racking his brains for a year, plus two flashes of inspiration.
To move up even by just one level, one essentially needs to break through the limit of the first ring and break through the restrictions of the second level of rules of the world, which is to upgrade from "borrowing the law of the first ring" to "borrowing the law of the second ring".
It can be expected that the difficulty increases exponentially as you go higher.
So... You Chen set a limit for himself. Even if he wanted to take this path, he could only study the two-ring borrowing method at most!
Because of the Three Rings Borrowing Method, even if countless flashes of spiritual power were used to smash it down, the time consumed would definitely be more than ten years in the most ideal case!
Instead of taking advantage of the development of the small trumpet, waiting another ten years? That would be a waste of time!
In short, two options and two paths.
The first path is to upgrade to the Soul Emperor realm right now. The advantage is that the safety guarantee is further improved, and the efficiency of completing tasks is greatly improved. The disadvantage is that the potential and upper limit are reduced.
The second way is to stay alive for a while longer. The advantages and disadvantages are opposite to the first way.
Given the Chinese people's love of development and farming, You Chen naturally prefers a route with greater potential.
But in fact, there is a paradox here.
That is... previous mission rewards have proved that system tasks can also enhance potential.
The so-called potential improvement in this second path is actually just "the development and innovation of the existing methods of improving potential in the local soul master system", or "the potential improvement of the martial soul origin and the three-element cultivation system of spirit, energy and spirit that You Chen figured out for himself before obtaining the system."
Will it definitely be better than the rewards given by the system, such as "Illuminating the Origin" and "Changing the Muscles and Strengthening the Marrow" ten or a hundred times?
Not necessarily. Hard to judge.
The most intuitive example is the "Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power". Even without considering You Chen's balance of essence, energy and spirit, this technique has a characteristic: "The higher the basic physical quality and the higher the life level, the faster the practice."
You Chen can completely take the "pure physical body" path, completely ignoring the martial soul and the balance of spirit, energy and spirit, and absorb soul rings as much as possible to improve the soul power level and physical fitness.
