Self-Condensed Soul Ring
Technically, he has basically completely deconstructed the structure of Soul Ring, and through subtle energy manipulation, he can condense an identical Soul Ring structure.
However, such a Soul Ring is ultimately an empty shell, lacking the most important element of Soul Ring.
That is the unique Alien Energy of Soul Beast.
This Alien Energy, exclusive to Soul Beast, is something humans don't possess. It's the foundation for Soul Beast to master various skills and also the key to the development of Soul Skill.
It is similar to the Martial Soul of humans, but it is an energy different from Soul Power.
Unlike the Elemental Force that flow through the world, Quan Yi, as a human, could neither attract them nor create them out of thin air.
The key to the creation of skills and the breakthroughs that enable humanity to overcome limitations lies in certain characteristics inherent in these energies.
However, it seems that when a transformed Soul Beast takes human form, it retains the Alien Energy it had as Soul Beast.
Therefore, when encountering a bottleneck, one can compress the Alien Energy within the body and condense it into Soul Ring with skills.
However, on the other hand, excessive amounts of Alien Energy will emit a unique aura of Soul Beast, which is an important reason why Soul Beast can be detected by Titled Douluo when they are at a low level.
The Divine Power of Titled Douluo can distinguish the Alien Energy aura of Soul Beast.
As Soul Beast's cultivation level increases, the Alien Energy accumulated within its body is stripped away and transformed into Soul Ring. At that point, the Soul Beast will gradually become closer to a real human.
Moreover, according to other Soul Beast, Soul Beast that has transformed must get close to humans and absorb their 'human energy' in order to make progress.
Regarding this part, Quan Yi vaguely realized the reason after seeing Xiao Wu's Soul Ring today.
Because, in addition to the Alien Energy of the Soul Beast itself, the Soul Ring of a soul Spirit Master also contain energy belonging to humans.
Just like how Quan Yi created a metal of the Creation level.
This type of metal, which can be integrated into the body, needs to be imbued with one's own aura in order to achieve fusion.
The same applies to Soul Ring. During the absorption process, the Soul Ring must interact with the human's Soul Power and Martial Soul to achieve complete absorption.
In this process, the two are not one-sided, but rather influence each other.
Soul Ring only accepts the Spirit Master who killed it, or perhaps because the aura of the person killed preemptively permeates the Soul Ring.
Soul Beast that transform into humans are likely to enter the human world because they lack this crucial element.
Just as Spirit Master need Soul Ring, Transformed Soul Beast also need human elements in order to advance their cultivation.
In this sense, humans and Soul Beast are fundamentally and closely connected.
Humans need Soul Beast, and Soul Beast ultimately need humans too.
Quan Yi had observed Xiao Wu's Soul Ring, and it was precisely because it contained human aura that it was indistinguishable from a human's Soul Ring Soul Ring.
Her Soul Ring were even more normal than those of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring that housed the soul of Soul Beast.
If Quan Yi and Huo Wu were to release their Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, the Ferocious Beast aura they emitted might be even stronger than that of Xiao Wu.
"I can't believe that something like Self-Condensed Soul Ring can exist. I feel like my worldview is about to collapse."
This was the first time Huo Wu had heard Quan Yi talk about these things, and the 'ironclad rules' Seal in her heart were strongly impacted.
"Nothing is static, and our understanding of things will change as times progress."
Thanks to his previous life's Dialectical Materialism thinking, Quan Yi rarely has any fixed mindset.
This is why Quan Yi can try things that most people would consider impossible without hesitation.
Even if it fails, it will still be a valuable attempt, since he can at least arrive at an impossible conclusion.
This is far better than those who dismiss things based solely on so-called intuition and experience, without any real knowledge or experience.
However, Quan Yi is trying hard to avoid becoming that kind of person.
Quan Yi calmed the surging Soul Power within his body and then gradually changed it back to its original operating mode.
Generally, Spirit Master have their own preferred operating methods. Even those who possess the same Martial Soul will have differences due to the different Soul Skill.
If one had started practicing the Mysterious Heaven Skill from the very beginning, that would have been fine.
However, it may take several years to adapt to a completely different Cultivation Method, especially a complex meridian route like the Mysterious Heaven Skill, while maintaining the original combat strength.
Furthermore, if one is to use other Self-Created Soul Skill on top of this, the adaptation time will be doubled.
However, Quan Yi could easily switch between these problems in less than a night.
For him, distraction and micromanagement are just part of his daily practice.
"We've already wasted some time tonight, it's time for us to begin our practice."
Spirit Master typically experience rapid growth before the age of twenty, and since they were already nineteen, they had no time to waste.
The night passed in silence, and dawn broke again in the blink of an eye.
The enthusiasm surrounding yesterday's opening ceremony has not diminished at all; on the contrary, it has intensified.
Outside the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, an even larger crowd had gathered than on the first day, because they knew that yesterday's event was just an appetizer, and the real show was just beginning.
Today, four more towering arenas have been erected in the arena, and together with the one in the middle, five pairs of academies will be competing in Soul Fight battle simultaneously.
Twenty-eight teams will compete in fourteen matches, divided into three groups.
Since one match was held yesterday, there will be thirteen matches today.
Blazing Fire Academy was the twelfth match and was scheduled to appear last.
On the viewing platform, Quan Yi and the others arrived early to wait.
The first round of the Preliminary Competition is about to begin.
The ten colleges began to enter the venue in an orderly manner.
And the team located in the center of the arena happened to be Quan Yi was familiar with: Godwind Academy.
The appearance of the Godwind Academy attracted the attention of the important figures in the VIP seats.
Feng Xiaotian lived up to expectations, bringing a surprise to all the viewers right from the start of the competition.
"Soul Emperor! Soul Emperor under the age of twenty-five!"
"A prodigy!"
The Six Soul Rings that Feng Xiaotian swirled around were so dazzling that they practically blinded everyone.
Xue Ye, sitting in the VIP section, shone with fervent gazes.
This is a real talent. If we can recruit Feng Xiaotian into our forces, it's almost certain that a Titled Douluo will emerge in the future of the empire.
Meanwhile, Salas, standing to the side, appeared to be unpredictable.
Unlike the Empire, Shenfeng Academy and the Spirit Hall do not have a direct conflict. Godwind Academy is a neutral force, and is even a target of the Spirit Hall's efforts to win over.
However, Feng Xiaotian's strength was beyond imagination, directly threatening the Spirit Hall Academy.
That's when things started to change.
After a moment's thought, Salas secretly made up his mind to list Feng Xiaotian as a threat and hinder Godwind Academy's advancement as much as possible, regardless of the means.
"Awoo~!"
The loud howl of the wolf drowned out the cheers of 80,000 people, and the Soul Emperor's powerful aura overwhelmed all the Spirit Master on the arena.
The highly anticipated central arena saw the outcome decided prematurely during the stage of activating Martial Soul and Soul Ring.
Before the match even started, the opponent had already thrown out a white towel to concede defeat.
