Heaven-Sent Soul Rings

Deep Blue immediately switched into work mode when she heard it was serious business. Somehow, she produced a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, put them on, and took out a little notebook. She formally flipped through the listed rewards as she explained them to Yu Xiaogang.

"Master! Because of what happened on Earth, and because both the phone and Master traveled through time, the phone's physical form has already shattered. Eighty-three percent of its database was lost, leaving only the phone's basic built-in database and some fragmented information."

"So, you're just a piece of data that traveled through time with me?" Yu Xiaogang could not help asking. "Yes, Master. I also benefited when you accepted the baptism of Heaven and Earth Energy. I gained three Soul Rings, skills bestowed by that mysterious space. The massive energy I received met the activation requirements. The First Soul Ring skill is Deduction, the Second Soul Ring skill is Mental Scan, and the Third Soul Ring is Thought Acceleration."

Deep Blue chattered away at him like a personal secretary. Yu Xiaogang nodded as he listened, thinking that these skills seemed made for research. With them, many things could finally be set in motion.

"However, Master, because all the energy was used to condense the Soul Rings, it could not raise your Soul Master level. So, Master is still a level 30 Soul Elder." Deep Blue cautiously brought it up, hoping her master would not be angry.

"It's fine. With these three skills, plus your original computational abilities, they're practically Research Divine Skills! My ideas will have to rely on you to make them happen from now on! Keep it up, Deep Blue!" Yu Xiaogang did not mind at all. These skills had come at exactly the right time. He was merely an ordinary person who had just come into contact with Supernatural Abilities. Everything before him was still dark, and he could only feel his way across the river one stone at a time.

Yu Xiaogang did not know whether the three-part Chakra control training regimen from Naruto could work in Douluo Continent. Nor did he know whether skills from other anime could be used through Soul Power. At the very least, he now had a second brain. All he needed to do was keep things in check.

"Deep Blue, show me the Soul Rings. Let me see what automatically condensed Soul Rings look like." Yu Xiaogang gave Deep Blue the order. She immediately waved her little hand, and three purple rings slowly appeared around the Phone Martial Soul from bottom to top.

The rings gleamed a deep purple, their surfaces covered in golden patterns that shimmered like circuitry.

"Not bad! Three Thousand-Year Soul Rings, and they seem to be of quite a high age. Deep Blue, your first task is to scan my entire body and record my physical data. Also, use the mental power circulation route from the Eastern Purple Qi I just absorbed to deduce a systematic cultivation method. Then see what Luo Sanpao needs to autonomously condense Soul Rings, and whether there's a way to teach others to condense Soul Rings."

Yu Xiaogang was growing excited. If he could truly create a method for humans to autonomously condense Soul Rings, he would surely become famous throughout the land. Huh? Why do I want to become famous? Maybe it was the original Yu Xiaogang's obsession at work. It seemed he needed to promptly develop the Mental Power Cultivation Method.

"Don't worry, Master! Deep Blue will begin right away. Deep Blue won't disappoint you!" After saying that, she returned to the phone and got to work. The three Soul Rings flashed as they began spinning rapidly.

Yu Xiaogang felt the outside growing hot, so he left the Soul Space. When he opened his eyes, the sun was already directly overhead. His empty stomach had begun protesting.

Yu Xiaogang got up, tidied himself slightly, and headed down the mountain, intending to settle his Five Viscera Temple at the little tavern by the village entrance.

Once there, he casually ordered a pile of meat and a cup of wine, then wolfed it all down. It seemed cultivating the Life Nurturing Skill consumed a great deal of bodily energy.

After eating, Yu Xiaogang went to Old Jack's home and found him napping beneath the eaves.

"Old Jack, sorry to disturb you. Wake up."

"Hm? Oh! So it's Master. What do you need? As long as it concerns the village, I, Old Jack, should be able to help." Old Jack had been a little unhappy at being woken, but the moment he opened his eyes and recognized the Lord Soul Master who had recently settled in the village, his face immediately broke into a smile, and he sprang up from his recliner.

"Old Jack, I may have to trouble you again. I plan to build a small wooden house on the hilltop beside my current home. The villagers who helped repair my house last time did good work. I'll need it when I cultivate. Also, I want to send a letter to a friend who is the dean of Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy. I'd like someone to make the trip for me. Don't worry, I'll pay."

As Yu Xiaogang made his requests to Old Jack, he felt that he was terribly busy. On one side, Luo Sanpao's second awakening had yet to finish its transformation. Luo Sanpao had been floating above the Sea of Consciousness, constantly absorbing his Soul Power and mental power. He could not summon Luo Sanpao for battle yet, so he did not dare wander around recklessly. The Phone Martial Soul specialized only in research and had no offensive power whatsoever. If he encountered any danger, would he not have to travel through time again? No one was around to protect him now. He rather missed the days when Flender had taken care of him.

"Alright! Master, I'll go gather the villagers to help right away!" Old Jack was delighted. Lord Soul Masters were quite wealthy, after all, and it would be good to provide the villagers with some extra income.

Yu Xiaogang handed Old Jack a letter sealed in an envelope bearing the emblem of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and asked him to find someone to deliver it. He casually left behind ten Gold Soul Coins, thanked Old Jack, and departed. Before leaving, he said that Old Jack could come to him if the money was not enough.

As Yu Xiaogang walked back, he asked Deep Blue in his mind how the various tasks were progressing. He planned to return and continue cultivating, mainly because Luo Sanpao had been continuously absorbing his Soul Power, which was rather uncomfortable.

"Master's physical data has been fully constructed! Your physical strength is equivalent to that of a level 50 Soul King. Because your Soul Power has been refined by me, it rivals that of a Soul Ancestor. Also, the First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring skills of your first Martial Soul, the individual named Luo Sanpao, have changed. The First Soul Ring skill has changed from farting to Dragon's Breath, while the Second Soul Ring skill has changed from hypnotic farting to Dragon's Intimidation, which counts as a mental power attack."

Deep Blue chattered in his mind as she reported the task results. "Also, Master, after scanning and examining Luo Sanpao's First and Second Soul Rings, I found that Soul Rings contain the Soul Beast's soul, Source Soul Power, and bloodline information. Therefore, based on calculations from my First Soul Skill, Deduction, autonomously condensing a Soul Ring requires using a Soul Beast's bloodline as a guide, supplemented by Soul Power and mental power, to attempt to condense the ring. It requires a great deal of Soul Power, but Master has Deep Blue as a reserve Soul Power source, so you can directly condense Soul Rings before the fifth ring. Beginning with the sixth ring, your Soul Power will be insufficient."

Deep Blue's tone was somewhat dejected, perhaps because she felt she had not helped her master enough.

"It's fine! Deep Blue, you're already doing very well. You've done an excellent job. With your help, I believe your master can definitely become a god in Douluo Continent!"

Yu Xiaogang comforted Deep Blue in the Soul Space while encouraging himself.

Yu Xiaogang could not help recalling a Douluo fanfiction novel where Blue Silver Grass was used to form a Blue Silver Grass Network. But he did not possess a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, so he did not know whether he could use mental power to guide Blue Silver Grass into forming a Blue Silver Grass Network according to his will.

If Yu Xiaogang truly succeeded, then his second Martial Soul, the Phone Martial Soul, could serve as the main server. There were more and more things to do. Yu Xiaogang decided that once Luo Sanpao completed his transformation, he would set off for Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy to become a teacher. Hehe! My little guinea pigs, your teacher is coming soon! I won't hurt you!

After all, deduction was one thing, while practice was another!
