"Before, I disguised myself as a student from Shrek Academy to make money. I provided services like Cultivation Route Guidance and Soul Beast Hunting Suggestions outside the academy, earning a little hard-earned cash."
"These manuscripts were also materials I compiled from the Sect specifically to make myself more credible in front of my clients."
Chen Ping continued along the lines of Wang Yan's speculation.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan said with some admiration, "Although the Coiling Dragon Sect is a reclusive sect, it seems that it has always been preparing to re-emerge."
"You couldn't have obtained this data without several hundred or even a thousand years of research and investigation."
"And this exquisite training method is entirely the foundation for a sect to Re-emerge from the Jianghu and Establish a Sect."
At this point, Wang Yan's tone suddenly grew somewhat downcast. "Actually, when I learned that the Coiling Dragon Sect had been ambushed by Evil Soul Masters and suffered near-total casualties, I specifically went to the Ruins of the Coiling Dragon Sect to take a look."
"Unfortunately, by then, you brat had already disappeared without a trace."
"If I had gone there earlier back then, perhaps you wouldn't have had to wander around for so long."
Chen Ping could feel the sincerity in Wang Yan's voice.
But back then, he had genuinely been worried that the Evil Soul Masters might make a Returning Spear and come after him, the Fish That Escaped the Net. He had fled long ago, so Wang Yan couldn't be blamed.
Picking up the so-called Student Training Manual from Shrek Academy again, Wang Yan couldn't bear to put it down.
Only after a long while did he set it aside and look toward the somewhat bizarre Soul Ring Soul Bone Skill and Diluted Damage Matching Method.
This manuscript was very thin, consisting of only a few pages, yet Wang Yan spent more time reading it than he had spent reading the two thick stacks of manuscripts before it combined.
Chen Ping had no idea that Wang Yan was already feeling somewhat flustered.
He had been shocked to discover that he, the so-called Senior Theoretical Teacher of the Outer Court, couldn't understand the contents of the manuscript at all.
Wiping away the dense beads of sweat that had formed on his forehead somewhat awkwardly, Wang Yan took several deep breaths and started reading from the manuscript's first page again.
A series of Mysterious Symbols whose functions he couldn't understand at all linked together a Soul Master's Soul Rings, Soul Skills, attributes, and other parameters.
In the end, they could actually calculate a Soul Master's Panel Damage and Actual Damage.
It was simply inconceivable.
And this "Soul Ring Soul Bone Skill Damage Dilution-Free Matching Method" had been created precisely on the foundation of those two strange formulas.
If you already had a Soul Skill with 300% Strength Amplification, then you shouldn't continue obtaining Soul Skills that increased your Strength Amplification.
The Final Lethality of a Soul Skill with 400% Strength Amplification might be far lower than the Final Destructive Power of a Soul Skill with 300% Strength Amplification paired with 100% Speed Boost.
After all, once your speed increased to a certain level, the impact force generated by combining it with your own mass would also increase your Soul Skill's lethality.
Likewise, when your Fixed Damage was too low, you shouldn't blindly pursue Percentage Amplification.
Choosing the wrong Soul Skills and preventing yourself from unleashing your greatest Panel Damage and Actual Damage was called "Damage Dilution" in this manuscript.
Damage Dilution!
What a genius discovery, and what an accurate description!
Even though he couldn't understand the conversion methods for the various values in the manuscript, the theory's brilliance and the rigor of its conclusions had already filled Wang Yan with delight and praise.
In Wang Yan's eyes, the value of this "Soul Skill Damage Dilution Theory" was in no way inferior to the "Human Soul Core Condensation Theory" that had appeared out of nowhere several thousand years ago.
Both were bold and wildly imaginative ideas, yet both were structured with equal rigor and precision.
Although it seemed like the ravings of a madman, a little thought about the logic behind it revealed that, like Soul Core Theory, this was a seemingly insane but actually feasible theory.
The groundbreaking nature of "Human Soul Core Condensation Theory" lay in the fact that it had forcibly raised a group of Soul Masters who could once cultivate to no higher than Level Eighty-Nine all the way to the realm of Titled Douluo.
It had caused the number of Titled Douluo in the present-day Soul Master world to far surpass that of ten thousand years ago.
Even during the era when Spirit Hall existed, there had never been so many Titled Douluo on Douluo Continent.
At the same time, it had greatly increased the Endurance of present-day Titled Douluo powerhouses, creating an order-of-magnitude gap in endurance between titled and untitled powerhouses.
But no matter how one put it, that theory could only be used by the small number of powerhouses capable of cultivating to the Titled Douluo realm.
This "Soul Skill Damage Dilution Theory," however, could be enjoyed by every Soul Master, and its scope far exceeded that of "Human Soul Core Condensation Theory."
At that moment, a sense of responsibility rose within Wang Yan.
Don't misunderstand. Wang Yan wasn't planning to rashly make Chen Ping's precious theories public. That would have been an idiotic thing to do.
The responsibility rising in his heart was the responsibility of nurturing Chen Ping into a powerful Soul Master.
Just like that fellow who had once risked his life to condense a Soul Core in his Dantian in order to break through to the Titled Douluo realm.
Did you think that after he had just condensed his Soul Core, he made the theory public?
Bullshit.
Relying on the fact that he possessed a Soul Core while the other Titled Douluo did not, that bastard had gone around showing off and enjoyed himself for several decades.
During that time, he had even relied on the Super Endurance brought by his Soul Core to defeat several Super Douluo.
Only when he was on his last legs and about to be buried, for the sake of an empty reputation after death, had he finally made the Soul Core Condensation Theory public.
But to be honest, aside from the Level 89 Soul Douluo who had lived in the same era as that person and had never managed to break through to the Titled Douluo realm, who would dare fail to remember the favor of that person making the Soul Core Theory public?
So Wang Yan's idea was the same.
First, he would use the three great Cultivation Manuals left behind by the Coiling Dragon Sect to nurture Chen Ping and help him establish a resounding reputation.
He would make everyone wonder why Chen Ping could be so powerful without any blind spots.
Afterward, if Chen Ping was willing, he could make the Coiling Dragon Sect's three great Secret Techniques public to the world.
As long as Chen Ping could enter the Inner Courtyard during his studies, then with the support of such enormous prestige, even with only Level Seventy or Eighty cultivation, it would be enough for Chen Ping to receive an invitation to become a Reserve Elder of the Sea God Pavilion through special dispensation.
From a helpless orphan with no one to rely on to an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion Famous Throughout the World.
From an Unknown Soldier to Famous Throughout the World.
If things really developed as he envisioned, Wang Yan personally felt that this would make him worthy of the trust Chen Ping had shown by coming to rely on him alone.
Chen Ping naturally had no idea that Wang Yan had already racked his brains to plan out the trajectory of his entire future life.
Seeing Wang Yan stare at the Damage Dilution Theory for such a long time, Chen Ping simply circulated his Soul Power and began cultivating while standing, racing against time to improve his cultivation.
But soon, Chen Ping discovered a fact he found difficult to accept.
His original Cultivation Speed, which had been around Innate Soul Power Level Four and a Half, had already dropped to the Cultivation Speed possessed by a Soul Master with Innate Soul Power Level Four.
The Medicinal Bath that stimulated his potential couldn't keep him at a high Cultivation Speed forever. The Cultivation Speed he had forcibly raised was continuously declining!
