The Changing of the Old and New, Nothing but War!
Yu Xiaogang watched his apprentices' little farce with a smile but remained silent. The playful bickering could actually strengthen the bond between them; it's impossible to live in a world without interacting with others.
This is also part of training Tang San. We need to teach more friends to quickly change Tang San's reclusive personality. Otherwise, Tang San, who always locks himself in his room to study Hidden Weapons, will definitely have flaws in his mentality and personality.
Yu Xiaogang overheard Tang San's conversation with his daughter. In a world with extraordinary powers, he could listen to all sounds within a radius covered by his Mental Power if he wanted. This was just a small trick after becoming a Void Core cultivator; Yu Xiaogang was still exploring other Void Core abilities.
Sometimes Yu Xiaogang envied his disciples. He was the one paving the way for them, and they only needed to follow in his footsteps. Yu Xiaogang also wished he had a teacher and a guide for cultivation.
There was nothing Yu Xiaogang could do; he only had his own imagination and Deep Blue to explore the path of cultivation, using small amounts of money to try and optimize the techniques little by little.
Since reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, Yu Xiaogang discovered a strange spacetime energy deep within his soul. After Deep Blue's analysis and examination, he realized that it was the spacetime energy he had brought with him when he traveled through the starry sky to the Douluo Continent.
Yu Xiaogang has now entrusted a major research project to Deep Blue. If they discover something, Yu Xiaogang can say he'll take off and won't be trapped in this small Douluo Universe anymore.
Yu Xiaogang broke through to the Void Core stage yesterday, he felt that this sky was like a small house, cramped and poorly furnished, without even basic water and electricity. Now he had a feeling that he could break through space directly, since the space barrier in the Douluo Continent was too weak.
Otherwise, the teleportation Soul Skill wouldn't exist. However, Yu Xiaogang is only making preparations for the future, and he has everything here. Yu Xiaogang is reluctant to abandon everything to pursue becoming an immortal or a Buddha.
It's better not to be a heartless and loveless deity. The character for "immortal" is composed of the radical for "person" and the radical for "mountain." To become an immortal, one must first become a person; otherwise, one is just a reckless man blinded by power.
These thoughts, turning over and over in a flash, flashed through Yu Xiaogang's mind. When Tang San came to him, he took out the Artificial Growth Soul Ring Tang San and his daughter Yu Linglong from his Storage Soul Tool and said, "Since San-ge and Linglong, you two are going to absorb Spirit Ring, then before you absorb Spirit Ring, let me ask you all, what exactly are Spirit Ring? Why do Soul Master need to absorb Spirit Ring?"
After speaking, Yu Xiaogang controlled two soul Soul Tool containing Spirit Ring crystals to fly in front of Tang San and Yu Linglong. His question had just left Tang San and Yu Linglong confused, and all the disciples present were pondering the question Yu Xiaogang had just asked.
After all, Yu Xiaogang must have some deeper meaning in saying these things on such an important occasion. Tang San felt that everything his teacher Yu Xiaogang did had its own purpose. He grabbed the rabbit ear decorations on the brim of his onesie pajamas and began to think.
Ning Rongrong, perhaps due to frequent physical training and a desire to become the first support-type Soul Master with combat abilities on the Douluo Continent, clashed her delicate pink fists together, creating a loud popping sound that drew everyone's attention, and said:
"Teacher, in my opinion, the problem you mentioned is that Spirit Ring are just something that limits us in the world. Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone are all external things, not something we cultivate with great effort. Teacher, I have always wondered what would happen if Soul Master lost their Spirit Ring."
Seeing everyone's astonished, ghost-like expressions, Ning Rongrong immediately became displeased. She puffed out her cheeks, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong in my answer?"
Tang San smoothed his long hair with his fingers and said somewhat awkwardly, "It's mainly because Rongrong, what you just said is completely unlike what you would normally say. In my memory, you wouldn't be so full of wisdom about life."
After all, they had lived together in the Dragon Gate Sect for so many years. Ning Rongrong gave everyone the impression that she was just playful and interested in cultivation. She often dragged Tang Sanyu and Linglong to Notting City for fun, acting like a little sister next door. But her recent insight shocked everyone.
Ning Rongrong was immediately unhappy when she saw Tang San's evaluation of her. Her cheeks puffed out even more, and she crossed her Rongrong, looking like she was very angry and couldn't be coaxed. She complained to Tang San, "Third Sister! Although I am a little playful, I have never missed a single training session arranged by the teacher. I will not be absent no matter if it is windy or rainy. Over the years, I have also come to a conclusion: what is yours will not be taken away by others!"
After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, her eyes gleamed with a sharp light. She began to recall everything that had happened since she came to the Dragon Gate Sect and became Yu Xiaogang's teacher. She had gone from a little girl who couldn't even kill a chicken to someone who could beat up ordinary Soul Elder with her bare body without even wanting Spirit Ring or Martial Soul.
Yu Xiaogang clapped his hands with a look of satisfaction. He was very satisfied with Ning Rongrong's answer. Sure enough, none of the important supporting characters who appeared in the original work were simple, even Ning Rongrong, who was just a decorative supporting character in the original work.
Yu Xiaogang smiled with satisfaction at his disciples and said, "Rongrong, your insights are excellent and you've hit the nail on the head. Today, I'll focus on the advantages and disadvantages of Spirit Ring. Since the emergence of Soul Master, Spirit Ring have always served as Soul Power Bullet in the body. The Soul Master's body is like a pistol, and Soul Power is like the gunpowder that fires the bullets."
Because the Spirit Ring comes with a simple skill, Soul Master can activate the Soul Skill simply by inputting Soul Power, without having to spend years cultivating Soul Power control or several years developing a Self-Created Soul Skill.
As long as you, as Soul Master, hunt down a Soul Master and absorb a Spirit Ring, you will gain Self-Created Soul Skill that others have worked hard to learn for three or four years. You are all geniuses taught by teachers and are not included in this category.
Over time, Soul Master have become accustomed to the convenience brought by Spirit Ring, focusing only on cultivating Soul Power without developing Soul Skill. If they encounter someone who can strip or seal Spirit Ring or even a god! Even if you possess nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, you're nothing more than a slightly stronger ant!
Yu Xiaogang watched his disciples listening intently, especially Tang San. When Tang San heard that there were gods on the Douluo Continent, his Teacher Yu Xiaogang's smiling eyes, he immediately felt relieved. His teacher was so powerful; surely he had a solution! "Teacher, you mean there are gods on the Douluo Continent who can directly strip or seal the Spirit Ring absorbed by Soul Master? But Soul Master can't break through without absorbing Spirit Ring! I understand, Teacher. You mean we should diligently cultivate our Self-Created Soul Skill, right?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded and then shook his head at Tang San's answer, explaining:
"What you said, San-ge, is both right and wrong. The teacher means that you should completely refine your Spirit Ring and make them your own. Spirit Ring are very magical and contain the rules of heaven and earth. Refining your Spirit Ring will benefit your cultivation."
San-ge, what you said earlier is correct. There are indeed divine legacies on the Douluo Continent, and one can accept the trials left by the gods. One of them is to seal Spirit Ring to accept the gods' trials. However, I'm warning you here not to get involved in the God Trial.
Because the new cultivation system created by the teacher transcends the Soul Master system, the teacher can now be considered to be on the path to godhood, but what the teacher calls becoming an immortal!!!
Yu Xiaogang looked sharply at his apprentices and said seriously, "What happens when a new system emerges and impacts the old system?"
"War? Or more war!!!"
