Martial Soul Soul Power Conversion Attribute Theory

"Oula Oula Oula!"

"Muda Muda Muda!"

Xiao Lin and Tang San sparred by trading punches.

"Brother Lin, why do I have to shout like that?"

Tang San failed to catch his breath for a moment and was left wide open by Xiao Lin's punch. Rubbing his chest, he fell to the ground and asked.

"It's nothing. The mood just called for it, so I shouted."

"Anyway, I feel like my presence gets stronger when I shout."

Xiao Lin yawned and sat down directly beside Tang San.

Xiao Lin and Tang San had been sparring barehanded like this for nearly a month.

Xiao Lin had gone from being defeated by Tang San's Soft Technique at the start to now holding a slight edge over him. The hardships involved went without saying.

Tang San was a martial arts prodigy, and the techniques he possessed far surpassed Xiao Lin's.

Unfortunately, being well-rounded was sometimes not as effective as specializing.

To Xiao Lin, Tang San being good at everything meant he was good at nothing.

Mystic Jade Hand was not as hard as Xiao Lin's Indestructible Divine Skill, while Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Purple Demon Eyes, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track merely gave Tang San a little more room for error.

Xiao Lin's Indestructible Divine Skill made him impervious, balanced in both offense and defense.

After Tang San had used Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon to seize him several times and overcome strength with softness, Xiao Lin found its weakness.

Sometimes, the best defense was offense.

The simpler Xiao Lin's movements were, the fewer openings they had.

If Tang San tried to use Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon to seize Xiao Lin's arm, apply joint locks, and overcome strength with softness, Xiao Lin would simply follow Tang San's control and attack.

By now, Xiao Lin had built up his strength through training in the Eight Trigrams Staff Technique and practicing with the Imprisoning Dragon Staff.

His physical strength was even somewhat greater than Tang San's, who worked as a blacksmith.

This left Tang San on the verge of tears.

He had never expected that teaching the Mysterious Heaven Skill to Xiao Lin would make Xiao Lin even stronger than him.

However, Tang San did not regret it now.

Because when Tang San chose to focus on cultivating vitality and Blue Silver Grass, he understood that his combat power could never surpass Xiao Lin's.

Even the hidden weapons he could currently forge could not break Xiao Lin's defense, much less defeat him.

Tang San had undoubtedly chosen to hide behind Xiao Lin.

As someone with Twin Martial Souls, he could not expose the Clear Sky Hammer.

And after learning from Xiao Lin about the grudge between their family and Spirit Hall, he understood even more clearly that it could not be revealed.

Under Xiao Lin's guidance, Tang San had another goal.

That was to one day eliminate those incompetent high-ranking officials of Spirit Hall, though he would not lay a hand on its lower-ranking members.

After all, he and Xiao Lin were both planning to get Gold Soul Coins from Spirit Hall.

The Tang San who had been taught by Xiao Lin no longer worried at all about Xiao Lin surpassing him in strength.

They were brothers. There was nothing to envy or resent.

Even during the future Shrek era, Tang San would still be willing to let several brothers eat Immortal Herbs, allowing their Soul Power Levels to surpass his own.

The current Tang San cared even less about it.

"Little San, have you mastered the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, that blacksmithing Divine Skill your father taught you?"

Xiao Lin asked Tang San, who was using Blue Silver Grass to heal himself nearby.

"Almost. I don't have enough strength, so I can't perform the later moves."

Tang San closed his eyes and focused, continuously absorbing the soul power of the Blue Silver Grass as he replied calmly.

"Then hurry up and master it, then teach me the Chaotic Cloak Staff Technique!"

As Xiao Lin urged him on, he also began circulating the Indestructible Divine Skill.

Soul power cultivation would not stop progressing just because they lacked soul rings, so Xiao Lin and Tang San still cultivated their soul power every day.

"Got it, Brother Lin. What about your theory?"

"OK, don't worry. It'll be easy."

Xiao Lin then made an OK gesture and reassured him in words Tang San could not understand.

Xiao Lin and Tang San were now improving alongside each other, each with their own area of research.

As a martial arts prodigy, Tang San would master the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, then teach Xiao Lin the Chaotic Cloak Staff Technique.

Tang San even had to create the Chaotic Cloak Dance himself before teaching it to Xiao Lin.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lin continued researching their martial souls and offering cultivation advice, among other things.

By now, Xiao Lin had discovered another martial soul theory.

This theory was called Soul Power Circulation Theory.

Simply put, when a person's soul power passed through their martial soul, it would be influenced by the martial soul's attributes before returning to the body.

Xiao Lin's martial soul was very special. It did not require the process above and directly transformed into the soul power of the Imprisoning Dragon Staff.

Tang San was helping Xiao Lin test this conclusion.

Aside from Xiao Lin himself, this theory had other test subjects.

These test subjects were Xiao Lin's recollections of certain plot points from the original work, as well as Brother Tao, Su Yuntao.

In the original work, after Tang San obtained the Blue Silver King's "Sacrifice," his Vitality greatly increased.

Then there was Tang San's martial soul evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor, automatically granting him abilities such as the Blue Silver Domain.

Xiao Lin believed all of these were abilities resulting from martial soul soul power flowing and transforming its attributes.

Beyond that, there were the most obvious examples: Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

After the two obtained Poison Attribute Soul Rings and used Martial Soul Possession in battle, they began to suffer greatly from Soul Poison.

Was this not also a case of soul power changing attributes and affecting the soul master's body?

Then there was Brother Tao, Su Yuntao. After Xiao Lin contacted him, he had Brother Tao conduct an experiment as well.

According to Brother Tao, after using Martial Soul Possession and then the soul skill of his Second Soul Ring, his soul power became more restless and aggressive.

At first, Su Yuntao believed that some of the Second Soul Ring's effects simply lingered, and that it was normal.

But after Xiao Lin explained it to him, Su Yuntao realized that his soul power was indeed far more restless than before.

Soul Power Control had become slightly more difficult, but because he had become a Soul Grandmaster, Su Yuntao had not noticed it at first.

Furthermore, the aggressiveness of Su Yuntao's soul power was still increasing.

Though it would not provide much of a percentage boost, Xiao Lin calculated that after repeated use, Su Yuntao's Second Soul Ring might gain a 10% increase in power.

This increase was passive. If Su Yuntao did not pay attention, he would not be able to sense it.

It was like a passive Self-Created Soul Skill.

In fact, Xiao Lin had other examples of this as well.

For instance, Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and the others from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The first seven soul skills of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would not use soul rings with healing attributes, yet after Weapon Soul True Body, their martial souls gained a certain degree of healing ability.

Furthermore, as they gained more soul rings and rose in rank, their soul rings would grow increasingly stronger, with all seven soul rings able to reach an 80% amplification.

In Xiao Lin's view, this ability stemmed from the same reason.

After their soul power passed through their martial souls, it was also influenced by their soul rings and martial souls, gradually strengthening their Amplification Ability.

This was the ability Tang San was currently testing.

According to Xiao Lin's theory, after Tang San used the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, his soul power would likewise become as abundant and full of Vitality as Blue Silver Grass.

As long as Tang San continuously underwent this soul power conversion, even if he used the same amount of soul power, he would definitely be able to control more Blue Silver Grass than before.

And if Tang San's experiment succeeded, Xiao Lin would choose to publish it at Spirit Hall.

He would let every soul master on the continent know about this theory.

Xiao Lin intended to surpass the so-called Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang step by step and slap Yu Xiaogang in the face.

Then, while he was at it, make a fortune.

Moreover, if this theory succeeded, Xiao Lin would use soul rings to strengthen his own body in the Future.
