Rule Traits and Inspiration Burst

You Chen shook his head. Even if that were true, it would be something that would happen years in the future.

Even if Tang San becomes a god at twice the speed of the original story, he will have no fear.

Becoming a god at level 100 is merely the level of a pseudo-god, God Officer -level combat power. He had already reached that level a year ago, let alone now.

During the time it took Tang San to advance from Soul Elder to God Officer Official, You Chen was confident that he could at least possess the combat power of Second-Level God.

The original novel does not explicitly state that Tang San truly reached the level of a God King; it is only known that he rapidly broke through in the Divine Realm through his divine position and a large amount of Immortal Spiritual Energy.

However, considering the time flow rate of one day in heaven and one year on earth, this time would be at least a hundred years.

After so much time, even You Chen himself couldn't give a clear answer as to how far he could go.

No matter how much of a cheat code Tang San uses, it still needs to be based on a certain logic and rationality. This is also the conclusion You Chen drew after observing Tang San's death.

Otherwise, Tang San wouldn't have needed to die at all; he could have simply resurrected on the spot and become a supreme god to rule the entire universe.

In the Douluo Continent, Tang San is no longer an unknown figure. The combined forces behind him can be considered among the top in the continent.

However, his death did not cause much of a stir at first.

Of the four major attribute families, apart from the blindly loyal Strength Clan, the other three clans have little loyalty to Tang San. After all, they have only known each other for less than a year. Only Tai Tan, who is out of his mind, would bow down to him so readily.

Their decision to support Tang San stemmed primarily from their belief in Tang San potential, which they viewed as an investment.

There is no reason for investors to seek revenge for their investments.

The only one truly eager for revenge was teacher Yu Xiaogang.

However, with the Soul Master Grand Competition approaching, seeking revenge at this time could directly lead to the Shrek Academy losing its qualification to participate.

Endure, endure.

This is Yu Xiaogang's choice.

The killer of Tang San was a member of a royal family. Even if the Golden Iron Triangle combined their power with titled warriors, they would still be no match for a single nation. A more thorough plan is needed.

The Star Luo Empire Imperial Selection did not significantly affect the holding of the Soul Master Grand Competition, but the Maritime Expedition was a different story.

At the call of the Spirit Hall, many people were transferred out.

The participants were not affected, but the competition itself received significantly less attention, which in turn diminished its importance.

The academies that can participate in the Soul Master Grand Competition all have the shadow of major forces behind them. The Soul Master Grand Competition is essentially an arms race among these major forces.

By comparing the strengths and weaknesses of the younger generation, we can measure the future potential and foundation of various forces.

The focus is on the future.

However, maritime expeditions are for the sake of immediate interests.

Putting aside everything else, just for the resources produced by those Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the major forces of the land-based Soul Master have already been fighting tooth and nail in secret.

Therefore, although the overall quality of the participants in this Soul Master Grand Competition far surpasses that of recent competitions, it has not garnered particularly high attention.

At least in the qualifiers, nobody paid much attention.

But the main competition is different.

Neither of the two empires participated in the naval expedition. The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy teams, representing the young geniuses of their respective empires, would compete in the main tournament. Even if it was just for the sake of the empire's reputation, they would still pay attention and promote it.

Moreover, the Soul Master Grand Competition serves as an excellent platform to showcase the potential of a power. The Star Luo Empire has just been reborn, and as the newly enthroned emperor, Amona also intends to use this opportunity to make her voice heard and demonstrate the empire's vigorous spirit.

You Chen had already given instructions in advance, asking the Beast Soul Alliance to cooperate with Amona as much as possible, and he was not worried about the performance of the Star Luo Royal Academy Team in the Soul Master Grand Competition.

Just kidding. Even if the emperor himself wouldn't condescend to participate, the elites of the Beast Soul Alliance alone would be enough to win the championship.

You Chen had multiple purposes in taking over the Star Luo Empire.

Currently, besides the Soul Master Grand Competition, the Star Luo Empire, under You Chen's instructions, has finally launched a second round of propaganda attacks against Bibi Dong...

While Bibi Dong was in the open sea, by the time the Spirit Hall reacted, You Chen would probably have already completed his mission.

Bibi Dong's quest in questline one has been stuck for too long, it's time to finish it.

You Chen didn't need to personally handle any of these matters.

You Chen himself has other important matters to attend to.

With Qian Renxue's mission completed, the basic resource rewards go without saying, as You Chen is no longer scarce.

There are two most important rewards!

All of these are the final rewards from the third stage.

[Rule Trait], as the name suggests, is a product involving the highest level of power.

Originally, the reward was randomly generated, but as Qian Renxue's cultivation level improved over time, the reward also improved, and it became a choice of one of three random items.

The three Rule Trait that You Chen brings out are as follows.

[Rule Trait: Rock Solid]

[Description: While the holder remains stationary and does not perform any additional actions, their defensive capabilities gradually increase tenfold. This process will not be interrupted by external forces as long as the holder does not actively move. In other words, movement caused by external factors will not terminate the effect of this Rule Trait.]

[Rule Trait: Speed Up]

[Description: When the holder's relative speed increases, the increase is doubled, and the reaction speed is doubled.]

[Rule Trait: Double Output]

[Description: All external work performed by the holder is doubled from the original amount]

[Note 1: Rule Trait do not require additional energy consumption and take effect automatically when enabled.]

[Note 2: Rule Trait have higher priority than universal rules and are enforced regardless of constraints]

The two notes explain the Rule Trait very well.

Simply put, after the speed doubles, when applied to the physical calculation formulas of the Douluo Universe, the resistance increases and the destructive power becomes stronger. However, in reality, none of these will change; only the speed itself will change.

The same applies to defensive capabilities; without any reason or condition, they are unconditionally enhanced tenfold. The same applies to Double Output. Normally, Double Output would double the reaction force and work done on oneself, but due to the priority of the Rule Trait, the value is simply multiplied by 2 while performing work on the external environment. Therefore, it only affects the external environment, and the self will not suffer double the impact.

In the face of the Rule Trait, physics simply ceases to exist.

Moreover, You Chen keenly realized that its true strength lay in its absolute zero energy consumption.

Based on You Chen's current understanding of God Authority, once he masters the corresponding authority, he will be able to do things similar to the aforementioned Rule Trait.

However, taking the God of Speed as an example, the divine power consumed to double an acceleration of 10 meters per second is absolutely incomparable to the power consumed to double an acceleration of 100 meters per second.

However, the system reward Rule Trait are always zero-cost, so the cost will not increase exponentially due to the increase in speed.

Moreover, its priority is higher than that of the entire Douluo Universe. If the God of Speed wants to use his authority to slow down You Chen, he will most likely suffer a backlash.

Rule Trait are undoubtedly extremely powerful.

Even with the most passive Rock Solid characteristic, a tenfold boost would likely render the Emperor Golden Body, which could originally only withstand attacks below the god level, completely immune to attacks from Third-Level God. If You Chen were to further enhance the strength of his Soul Skill by increasing the age of his Soul Ring, elevating them to god-level skills, he might be able to forcibly ignore attacks from even First-Level God or god-kings in the future.

But You Chen clearly doesn't like being passive.

You Chen ultimately chose [Accelerate].

There's not much to say; speed is his strongest point. Strengthening his strengths and making his best features even longer will maximize his effectiveness.

Before becoming Titled Douluo, You Chen's maximum speed had already reached the level of a god, and not just God Officer, but Third-Level God. That's why he couldn't control it perfectly.

Now, more than a year has passed since he received the title...

Not long ago, his "Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength" finally broke through to the Primal Elephant Chapter, allowing his demigod body to truly break through to the divine body level.

This is not just a breakthrough in defense, but a breakthrough in all aspects, with a qualitative change in strength, agility, and physique.

Such speed, even if it doesn't reach the level of Second-Level God, is probably not far off, and can be called the peak speed of Third-Level God.

With the improvement in his mental strength and control over his Martial Soul, he can now perfectly control this extreme speed.

The unconditional acceleration of [Acceleration] will not have any additional load or consumption, and You Chen's reaction speed will also be doubled, so he will not fall behind.

His peak level Third-Level God has doubled, definitely reaching the level of Second-Level God.

However, these were ultimately just guesses calculated by You Chen.

To avoid drawing extra attention from the Divine Realm, he naturally couldn't conduct any experiments to verify his findings. Unless absolutely necessary, he would at most reveal God Officer- level stats in the future.

A normal cultivator's advantage is significantly higher than other attributes. In other words, in terms of speed alone, he displayed the level of an ordinary Third-Level God, which is about the highest speed of the Soul Douluo stage.

From Soul Douluo to Titled Douluo, he successfully mastered the previously uncontrollable limit of speed—well, that makes perfect sense.

Having absorbed the Rule Trait, the next gain is the second one.

[Inspiration Burst].

This skill can be understood as an advanced Flash of Inspiration.

As You Chen gradually comprehends the Heart of Clear Mirror Still Water, ordinary Flash of Inspiration no longer have much effect on You Chen.

Or rather, You Chen's comprehension was greatly enhanced in this state, and he was already frequently having Flash of Inspiration.

Unlike Flash of Flash of Inspiration is a consumable item and must be replenished through quests, Super Flash of Inspiration is a skill.

However, its cooldown time is as long as a year. But you can reduce the cooldown by using Flash of Inspiration, which reduces it by 1% with each use, meaning it takes 100 Flash of Inspiration to recharge once.

Based on Tang Hao's output as a "meat pig," he can produce about a hundred Flash of Inspiration a year, which means he can use his Inspiration Burst about twice a year.

You Chen's current accumulation is enough for two uses.

You Chen has already used up his resources on these two occasions.

With so many projects to research and a multitude of questions in his mind, it's natural to use it sooner rather than later.

Before experiencing Inspiration Burst, You Chen could not imagine a mental state more powerful or helpful in resolving his confusion than the state of Heart of Clear Mirror Still Water and insight that came with a clear and tranquil mind.

But he was wrong.

If Flash of Inspiration is an answer captured by chance from existing knowledge, then Inspiration Burst is an enlightenment that comes from nothing, as if drawing upon the rules of heaven and earth to receive a divine revelation.

Although it was essentially still a thought that sprang from a spark of inspiration, it was a realm that You Chen could never have reached at that moment; it was a true inspiration that transcended himself.

Even if this state lasts for a very short time, it is enough to solve several of You Chen's current problems and allow the project, which was just about to be completed, to take the final crucial step.

Having completed the Qian Renxue quest and received the rewards, You Chen found Ignis.

One of the problems he solved was the issue of Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

A year ago, he found Ignis with the aim of guiding Ignis in the direction of her Martial Soul sublimation at the Soul Sage stage, so that Ignis could achieve Martial Soul Fusion with him.

About a month ago, with You Chen's help, Ignis hunted down the ancient alien species "Red Lotus Blast Scale Dragon". Furthermore, You Chen, who had already mastered the use of the omnipotent power of Pure Divine Power, used divine power to increase the age of the soul Soul Ring to 100,000 years during the process of Ignis absorbing the Soul Ring, successfully enabling Ignis to achieve a perfect sublimation and allowing Ignis's Martial Soul to finally evolve into the super Martial Soul "Crimson Underworld Dragon".

You Chen's envisioned path for Martial Soul Evolution, achieved through Martial Soul Fusion Skill, is called "Salvation Stardust Dragon".

In the original work, if the Meteor Dragon represents the transcendence of Yusei Fudo's individual self, then the Salvation Stardust Dragon represents the evolution brought about by the gathering of the power of bonds.

In the Douluo World, You Chen neither has the time nor the expectation to assemble a team of dragons from the original novel.

However, given King Yu's nature, You Chen felt that if he could only choose one dragon to form a bond, Jack's Red Lotus Demon Dragon would definitely be the best choice.

If Stardust Dragon represents wind and light, then Red Lotus Demon Dragon represents fire and darkness. One is about holiness and redemption, the other about destruction Destruction God King. One has 2500, the other 3000... they were designed to be opposites from the start. If you two aren't bound together, who is?

So although their attributes seem to clash on the surface, from You Chen's perspective, they complement each other perfectly, making them the most suitable accessories for Martial Soul Fusion.

His ability to awaken the Stardust Dragon in this world indicates that his Meme has polluted this world to some extent, so it's not impossible that Ignis could evolve into the Red Lotus Demon Dragon.

After extensive preparation, the overwhelming resources invested in nurturing her, and the secret techniques that You Chen specially developed for this evolution, Ignis successfully evolved into the Crimson Underworld Dragon after replenishing her magic attribute.

Although it's a subspecies that's quite different from the original in appearance and stats, it's still a success all the way.

According to You Chen's previous research and calculations, the secret technique that Ignis cultivated before her Martial Soul Evolution would allow her soul to become more compatible with You Chen's soul after the Martial Soul successfully evolved.

They did indeed experience a slight Martial Soul Fusion.

But they just couldn't take that final step; they were always stuck at that point.

After using his Inspiration Burst, You Chen finally gained extraordinary Wisdom God Position and came up with a solution.

That is the secret technique for determining the "color" of the soul, and by adjusting the color of the soul, the compatibility of the soul is improved, thus achieving the Martial Soul Fusion!
