Thesis, Layout of Faith Power

"Blue Silver Lurantis Crown!"

Tang San sensed that this was going to hurt, so he activated his Healing Skill in advance.

Gula did not cheat by using any moves. He punched Tang San in the chest and knocked him back three meters.

Tang San staggered before regaining his footing. His chest felt as if a stone were pressing down on it, leaving him painfully stifled. Fortunately, his soul power flowed through the Lens Blue Hat and transformed into Life Force, rapidly healing the discomfort.

He gave a bitter smile. The force was too great. That light, airy punch had pierced right through his soul power defense, forcing him to face the gap between them seriously.

But Tang San did not immediately admit defeat. Instead, he urged his Blue Silver Grass to spread around them, forming one "Tripwire" after another to force Gula, who moved in a straight line, to slow down.

Gula saw what Tang San was planning. With his strength, he could Most likely ignore the Blue Silver Grass's obstruction and snap the Blue Silver Grass vines by charging through them.

But he was unwilling to gamble on Tang San's control over Blue Silver Grass. Otherwise, if he was accidentally tripped, it would be extremely embarrassing.

So Gula lit up his first soul ring. A Gravity Field descended, and the Blue Silver Grass was pressed flat to the ground one after another. After all, Blue Silver Grass was extremely flexible, but its resistance to pressure was only average.

The Blue Silver Grass stuck tightly to the ground. Gula stepped over it with ease, while Tang San dodged left and right, but was still pinned to the ground by Gula's concentrated gravity.

Tang San's face fell in frustration. "I lost."

Groudon experienced an overwhelming battle. Mall Points +13.

Tang San experienced a crushing defeat. Mall Points +6.

Gula deactivated his Soul Skill, his breathing steady. He reached out to pull Tang San up, patted his shoulder, and comforted him:

"Don't lose heart. Your advantage is your Twin Martial Souls. Once you cultivate to Title Douluo and add soul rings to your Second Martial Soul, I won't be your match anymore."

"Really?" Tang San did not quite believe it.

"Of course."

Gula gave Tang San confidence. A Pokémon's mental health was also very important for their growth and battle.

"Think about what I told you. Absorbing soul rings is related to Physique Strength. Then when you cultivate to Title Douluo, for the first soul ring of your Second Martial Soul, how many Years should the soul ring you absorb have?"

Tang San's eyes lit up. "A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?"

"Right, a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. And it has to be at least a Fifty Thousand Year soul ring, or it won't be worthy of your talents."

Gula glanced at the reward, and with a thought, closed the battle notification.

Thinking of a Second Martial Soul with all Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, Tang San's gloomy mood improved greatly, and he rallied himself again:

"Brother Gu, I understand. Falling behind for a moment doesn't mean anything. I'll catch up to you."

"Mm, that's the right way to think. It's still early. Keep training."

Gula smiled, activated the Gravity Field again, and threw himself into training.

After training ended, Gula asked, "Little San, did Uncle Tang help me deliver the Thesis to Spirit Hall?"

"Mm. Dad went out last night, and he was still sleeping this morning. It should have been delivered."

Tang San nodded, looking at Gula with confusion in his eyes.

Gula asked, "Is there a problem?"

Tang San hesitated no longer. "I can't understand it. Why would you announce the soul master theory you researched to the whole world? Father's identity makes it inconvenient, and we can't even collect the manuscript fee reward from Spirit Hall. Other soul masters benefiting from it won't help us either."

"That's all?"

Gula chuckled softly. Looking at the green trees swaying in the wind in the distance, he seemed to be in a very good mood as he explained:

"The main reason is to solve the problem that the First Thousand Year Ring is inconvenient to reveal. Secondly, this world is vast. If we want to gain more, reputation is also a very important resource for us."

Tang San seemed to understand, yet not quite.

Gula did not continue explaining, leaving Tang San to think for himself.

In truth, how could there be so many reasons? The reason he had submitted a Thesis to Spirit Hall was that he had found a researcher Sub-profession in the system.

When he published a Thesis, the system would issue rewards based on its influence. What else was there to say? With God-tier Cultivation Techniques, Gula could casually pad out a Thesis.

Thus, in order to solve the problem of his soul ring being too high-profile, Gula spent one day finishing the Thesis, then asked Tang Hao to go to Spirit Hall in another city and secretly submit a copy.

To attract attention, the Thesis used the Shocking Format.

"Shocking! The First Soul Ring Limit of soul masters Was Indeed wrong!"

The Thesis pointed out the relationship between a soul master's Physique Strength and the upper limit of soul ring Years, listed all kinds of data recorded in books, and pointed out a series of evidence.

The evidence included the medicinal baths of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect, as well as methods used by Other Forces to have soul masters eat soul beast meat from childhood and practice specialized training techniques.

These methods could all strengthen a soul master's physical quality, which was why they could keep widening the gap between themselves and civilian soul masters.

No one had discovered it before because when civilians awakened, their Innate Soul Power was often Very Low.

By the time a civilian soul master cultivated to rank ten soul power and obtained their first soul ring to break through, they were usually already in their teens. At that time, their Physique Strength was much greater than when they were six, and no difference could be seen compared to soul masters of the same level who were seven or eight.

But in the same age group, the gap in physical quality objectively existed and was extremely obvious. It was an unchangeable fact.

He believed that such a Thesis, closely Related to every soul master, would cause an uproar in the Soul Master World and bring Gula generous rewards.

In addition, deep in Gula's heart, he had one small private thought: to establish a great image on Douluo Continent through the Thesis, gain the worship of soul masters, and obtain Faith Power.

In the future, if Douluo Continent did not have a divine seat suitable for Gula, he could create his own divine seat through Faith Power.

As for the difficulty of creating his own divine seat, he believed that with the resources and knowledge of two worlds, as well as the system's assistance, he would definitely be able to overcome it.

If it really did not work, was there not still Tang San, who liked bending the rules for personal reasons? Wasn't the whole point of Gula befriending him to secure a fallback for the future?

Of course, the first Thesis was only a test. Any faction with a Title Douluo should know about the connection between Physique Strength and a Soul Ring's Years.

The main reason no one valued it was that there were no efficient training techniques on Douluo Continent.

So, in the Thesis, Gula also provided a crude training method, including Push-ups, Frog Jumps, Sit-ups, and other methods for exercising muscles throughout the body.

Even if they were ordinary training techniques from his previous life, they were still techniques people had spent decades refining and improving.

Placed on Douluo Continent, they were a dimensional strike. They could strengthen the Combat Power of low-level Soul Masters, and by increasing the Years of the Soul Rings they obtained, they would also improve low-level Soul Masters' potential from another angle.

Given the number of Soul Masters in Spirit Hall, even if one percent of the low-level Soul Masters managed to achieve a breakthrough in physique, that would still be no small force, enough for Spirit Hall to take it seriously.

But no matter how scientific a training method was, it could not compare to the all-around muscular training provided by a Gravity Field.

So Tang San's worries were purely unnecessary. Push-ups could not mobilize extraordinary power, and they would only be useful in the early stages for Soul Masters. Once they reached the Three-Ring Soul Elder level and gradually became extraordinary, the effect of conventional training methods would become smaller and smaller.

Moreover, Gula still planned to go to Shrek Academy in the future to collect Pokémon, and he really did not want to use Yu Xiaogang's foolish Running Training Method. That would make him feel like an idiot.
