Blowing Up the Soul Ring from the Start

Su Xing's Martial Soul was Coin, and his Innate Soul Power was level three.

This year, he was twelve years old, a level nineteen Spirit Master, and the only son of a wealthy merchant in the Heaven Dou Empire.

He had advanced so quickly because Su Xing possessed an adult's mindset, far more discipline than others, and a relatively powerful soul.

The Coin Martial Soul was considered an inherited Martial Soul of the Su Clan. Though it lacked much combat power, it was a Martial Soul that could bring wealth.

The Su Clan had become wealthy merchants of the Heaven Dou Empire through the Coin Martial Soul and a certain degree of business acumen.

Su Xing had another identity as well: he was a transmigrator.

In his previous life, Su Xing had been an outstanding student. As for why he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent, even he did not know.

However, after all these years, he had long accepted the fact that he had transmigrated.

The only thing Su Xing found difficult to accept was his Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power level.

With Innate Soul Power at level three, according to the rules of Douluo Continent, Su Xing had almost no chance of cultivating to the level of a Title Douluo, let alone becoming a God.

When he was six, after learning that he had awakened such a weak Martial Soul, Su Xing went to Nuoding Academy and found Grandmaster, asking how he could cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo.

After asking about Su Xing's identity and Martial Soul, Grandmaster directly declared that it was impossible for Su Xing to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo. Even becoming a Soul Saint was nothing but a distant dream.

While disappointed, Su Xing hoped to become Grandmaster's disciple just like Tang San. He wanted to build a good relationship with Tang San, hoping that he might gain some benefits from him in the future.

Who would have thought that Grandmaster would directly refuse Su Xing's request?

Only then did Su Xing realize that Grandmaster also judged disciples by their talent. Although Grandmaster's own talent was lacking, he still considered his theories unmatched and was unwilling to teach an ordinary talent like Su Xing.

Su Xing had his own pride as well. After sensing that something was off with Grandmaster and feeling Yu Xiaogang's disdain, Su Xing abandoned the thought of taking him as his master.

At the same time, Su Xing gave up on the idea of befriending Tang San.

It was guilt by association!

Of course, it was not merely guilt by association. Su Xing had also sensed the same distance and perfunctory attitude from Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Su Xing could sense the detachment beneath Tang San's politeness and friendliness.

As for Xiao Wu, she was even more perfunctory.

Calling her Boss Xiao Wu and the like was fine, but if you wanted to get any closer, Xiao Wu simply ignored you.

Only then did Su Xing realize that when your talent and strength were lacking, prodigies like Tang San and Xiao Wu would not pay much attention to you at all.

Perhaps if he paid the price in time, he could slowly grow closer to Tang San and Xiao Wu.

But Su Xing had been an outstanding student in his previous life. He had his own pride and dignity.

Who did they think they were looking down on?

Relying on yourself was better than begging others. No matter how displeased he was with Yu Xiaogang, Su Xing knew that if he cultivated like an ordinary Spirit Master, the outcome would not differ much from Yu Xiaogang's verdict.

So Su Xing decided to rely on himself.

And now, six years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside a laboratory belonging solely to Su Xing, he held a record sheet in his hand.

It recorded summaries of the experiments Su Xing had conducted over the past few years.

They were all experimental records and results concerning Spirit Masters, Soul Power, and Soul Rings.

It also included some of Yu Xiaogang's theories, such as how a Spirit Master's Soul Power could continue increasing through cultivation even after reaching a bottleneck without absorbing a Soul Ring to break through.

Although the original story had already established that Yu Xiaogang's theory was correct, Su Xing still personally verified it through experiments.

Of course, Su Xing had not conducted those verifications on himself. He had spent money to buy slaves for all of his experiments.

Su Xing's father, relying on his wealth and seeing that Su Xing had indeed been clever since childhood, allowed him to do as he pleased.

"After six years, I've finally found my own path to becoming stronger."

At that moment, Su Xing's face was filled with excitement and exhilaration.

But it quickly settled into calmness.

"Then my path to becoming stronger will begin by blowing up my Soul Ring!"

"Although Soul Rings come with Spirit Skills and greatly boost one's strength, they also hinder a Spirit Master's control over Soul Power to a certain extent. If I want perfect control over my own Soul Power, I can only blow up my Soul Rings!"

His path to strength began by blowing up his Soul Rings.

If anyone outside heard Su Xing say such things, they would surely laugh endlessly, convinced that whoever said it was either a fool or an idiot.

Yet this was an ironclad fact that Su Xing had repeatedly verified. The more Soul Rings one had, and the higher their quality, the harder it became to perfectly control one's own Soul Power. One could only use the Spirit Skills attached to the Soul Rings to launch attacks.

Only then did Su Xing understand why Spirit Masters on Douluo Continent possessed such miraculous energy as Soul Power, yet had created so few Self-Created Soul Skills.

Forget Self-Created Soul Skills—even making slight changes to one's own Spirit Skills was extremely difficult.

Without further delay, once everything was prepared, Su Xing slowly sat cross-legged.

Buzz—

Yellow light flickered, and a yellow hundred-year Soul Ring emerged beneath Su Xing's feet as he released it.

This was a four-hundred-year Soul Ring. Back then, the Su Clan had spent a great deal of money to hire people to help Su Xing hunt it down.

Yet now, Su Xing was going to blow it up.

Ring Detonation was the essence of the Clear Sky Sect's divine Great Sumeru Hammer technique.

However, Ring Detonation itself was not difficult. The difficult part was using the power released after the Soul Ring exploded. Naturally, Su Xing could not do that, nor did he need to.

The Clear Sky Sect's Ring Detonation carried the risk of destroying the Soul Rings. Su Xing, however, wanted to destroy his Soul Ring.

He did not need the skill attached to the Soul Ring!

"Shatter!"

Boom!

With Su Xing's low shout, the yellow four-hundred-year Soul Ring floating around him exploded with a bang.

A powerful surge of Soul Power erupted along with the Ring Detonation, blasting outward from Su Xing in all directions with astonishing force.

Su Xing ignored the disturbance caused by the Ring Detonation and silently examined the current state of his Soul Power.

"Just as expected, without the Soul Ring's restraints after blowing it up, controlling Soul Power has become much more natural."

"And the Soul Power in my body hasn't decreased. I just temporarily no longer have a Soul Ring, so I can't use Spirit Skills."

"It's actually similar to the Clear Sky Sect's secret technique. The Clear Sky Sect's Ring Detonation temporarily removes some of the restrictions that Soul Rings impose over one's own Soul Power. That is why members of the Clear Sky Sect can unleash the self-created divine skill, Great Sumeru Hammer!"

"So anyone can actually perform Ring Detonation, as long as they have a Self-Created Soul Skill."

"Others simply haven't done so because their Self-Created Soul Skills aren't as powerful as the Clear Sky Sect's Great Sumeru Hammer, making the effect less obvious. That is why everyone mistakenly believes the Clear Sky Sect's Ring Detonation is different from theirs."

"Even the people of the Clear Sky Sect themselves probably don't understand why!"

The effects after Ring Detonation matched the experiments, allowing Su Xing to breathe a sigh of relief.

No matter how many experiments he had conducted before, they had only been displayed on test subjects. Since he had not experienced it himself, some concern was inevitable.

Now, all his worries were gone.

Besides, a Soul Ring that was only four hundred years old would not cause Su Xing much harm when destroyed. He could completely endure it.

That was the advantage of being low-level. Sometimes, having a low level allowed one to act recklessly.

"Money makes me happy!"

Then, Su Xing raised his hand and summoned his Coin Martial Soul. Intertwined Lightning appeared alongside the Coin.

Su Xing's Lightning attribute had evolved after he absorbed his first Soul Ring, much like Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had developed a poison attribute after evolving.

And even after blowing up the Soul Ring, the evolved Martial Soul would not revert to its original form. Su Xing had already tested that!

Su Xing's expression was calm.

Next, it would depend on whether he could create the Spirit Skill he wanted.

"Railgun!"

No following, no groveling!
