Soul Power and Soul Cores

With a thought.

For no apparent reason, a surge of Soul Power appeared out of thin air inside his body. After circulating through every part of him, it gathered again in his Dantian and merged into the source of his Soul Power!

He did not release all the stored Soul Power at once. Instead, he chose to open a small gap, letting it flow slowly and steadily as he absorbed the stored Soul Power bit by bit. Otherwise, if he released it all in one go, his meridians might burst from the strain. Then a good thing would turn into a disaster.

Next.

Feeling the Soul Power inside him climb step by step, the smile at the corners of his mouth never faded.

By the time he had completely absorbed all that stored Soul Power.

Li Chang'an's Soul Power had directly broken through to level fourteen. One had to know that he had only just reached level thirteen not long ago. But the Soul Power fed back from his Soul Beast Clone had forcibly pushed him up an entire level.

Just as he was grinning so widely he could barely close his mouth, he suddenly discovered that the Soul Power in his Dantian seemed a little off.

"What's going on?"

He closed his eyes and silently sensed it. Only after a moment did he open them again and let out a breath of relief.

"Good. It's only because I raised my Soul Power too much in a short time, causing it to become a little thin... Looks like I can't absorb the power sent over by my clone too frequently to raise my Soul Power, or the quality of my Soul Power will drop."

"I can't rely only on my clone to raise my Soul Power in the future either. I still can't stop my daily cultivation. Otherwise, the quality of my Soul Power will only get lower and lower as it grows rapidly, and that's no good at all," Li Chang'an silently pondered.

After experiencing that addictive efficiency of increasing Soul Power by sharing power with his Soul Beast Clone, there was no way he could give it up. Besides, the power transmitted by his clone had no side effects when it increased his Soul Power. At most, the sudden surge of Soul Power would dilute his Soul Power and lower its quality.

This was easy to fix. He only needed to let it settle for a while.

Compared with the massive increase in Soul Power over a short time, that was not worth mentioning at all. He would have to be stupid to give it up.

After realizing where the problem lay.

For the next three days, Li Chang'an meditated and cultivated as normal, solidifying his Soul Power.

It took him three days before he finally made up for the lost quality of his Soul Power.

A drop in Soul Power quality was no joke. Do not think soul masters did not value the quality of Soul Power. On the contrary, for soul masters, the higher the quality of their Soul Power, the less Soul Power they consumed when using soul skills. And the power of those soul skills would also be greater!

That was why the same First Soul Skill, when used by a Soul Grandmaster and a Titled Douluo, would have power as different as heaven and earth.

So in the eyes of soul masters, the quality of Soul Power was very important and absolutely could not be treated carelessly. Moreover, breaking through to higher levels was also closely tied to the quality of one's Soul Power.

And Li Chang'an, who had read the second, third, and fourth Douluo series, also knew that if one wanted to condense a Soul Core, the quality of a soul master's Soul Power was also crucial. A few exceptional people could even condense a Soul Core at the Soul Saint level.

Once a Soul Core was condensed, it could be said to bring countless benefits to a soul master. The power of soul skills, the recovery of Soul Power, combat strength, and all other aspects would undergo a qualitative change. One could absolutely far surpass experts of the same level in this era! Becoming invincible among one's peers would be no problem at all.

Originally, Li Chang'an had not dared to dream of condensing a Soul Core at the Soul Saint level. His goal had been to wait until he reached the peak of Soul Douluo, then begin trying to condense a Soul Core, and afterward break through to Titled Douluo in one fell swoop, becoming the first person in this era to condense a Soul Core.

But now that he knew he could increase his Soul Power through the power transmitted from his clone, he suddenly realized that wanting to condense a Soul Core at the Soul Saint level was not impossible.

That was because if a soul master wanted to condense a Soul Core at the Soul Saint stage, they had to forcibly suppress their level and avoid breaking through. Then, through constant cultivation, they had to compress the quality of the Soul Power in their body until it was close to the quality of a Titled Douluo's before they could attempt to condense a Soul Core.

The time this process required was undoubtedly extremely long. If one cultivated normally without taking any heavenly treasures, spending a few years or even over a decade would be completely normal. But for Li Chang'an, accumulation of Soul Power was simply not a problem, all right?

Other people needed to forcefully suppress their levels to accumulate Soul Power and compress Soul Power, but he did not need to at all. Soul beasts could cultivate rapidly by devouring other soul beasts, which was different from humans, who had bottlenecks.

If condensing a Soul Core did not require physical fitness to be critical as well, then relying on the power shared from his clone, Li Chang'an would even dare to start attempting to condense a Soul Core while he was still a Soul Grandmaster.

Unfortunately, one had to have at least the physical fitness of a Soul Saint to barely withstand the pressure brought by condensing a Soul Core. That truly made him feel a little regretful.

However, what the Soul Beast Clone shared was not only Soul Power, but also a portion of enhanced physical fitness. Perhaps by the time he reached around Soul King, his physical fitness would be strengthened enough to compare with a Soul Saint's, supporting the condensation of a Soul Core?

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

This was an academy under the imperial family of the Heaven Dou Empire, specifically for the descendants of hereditary nobles and high officials. Its teachers and resources were top-level in every aspect. Only Spirit Hall and certain sects with long-standing inheritances could compare with it.

The nominal dean of the academy was the current Heaven Dou Emperor. Therefore, the academy no longer had the position of dean. Instead, the Education Committee, formed by the three oldest and strongest Soul Douluo-level experts, decided all affairs big and small within the academy. However, for some important matters, they still needed to request instructions from the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family.

This was a noble academy through and through, and it only accepted nobles. Commoners should not even dream of joining. Of course, there were exceptions to everything. If one's talent was truly too good, then even if they were a commoner, the academy would not mind making an exception and accepting that genius student.

It could be said that this academy was the cradle in which the Heaven Dou Empire nurtured soul masters. Because of this, the imperial family valued the academy greatly. Although the emperor had no time to look after it personally, he would generally appoint a prestigious member of the imperial family to take charge of affairs on the academy's side. For certain important decisions, the Education Committee also needed to report upward and request instructions.

At present, the three elder teachers of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Education Committee were all Soul Douluo above level eighty. In addition, there were several powerful experts such as Soul Saints and Soul Emperors. Its teaching strength was extremely solid!

Li Chang'an had now arrived here. As a newly appointed Marquis and the emperor's Son-in-law of the Emperor, he was naturally qualified to enroll here. Moreover, with his own talent, even without that layer of identity, joining would still be an easy matter. After all, no academy would push a genius student away.

The students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy were divided into three levels. Newly enrolled students and those whose strength had not reached level twenty-five formed the first level, called Heaven Micro Level. Those between level twenty-five and level thirty formed another level, Heaven Arrived Level. Those above level thirty entered the highest level, Heaven Dou Level.

Li Chang'an, who currently only had level fourteen Soul Power, would naturally only be a Heaven Micro Level student if he enrolled, but he did not care about that. After all, he had only just awakened his martial soul, was only six years old this year, and still had vast room to grow.

What he needed to do now was learn!

He had to work hard to learn all the knowledge a soul master needed.

The world described in the Douluo Continent novel from his previous life was ultimately only a broad framework. A real world, a power system passed down for thousands upon tens of thousands of years, naturally could not be that simple. It inevitably contained many details and much closely related knowledge that the novel had not described.

And what Li Chang'an lacked was precisely this knowledge.

If someone thought that just because they had read the novel, they understood the soul master system completely and did not need to study at all, then they would be dead wrong.

Who knew when they might suddenly die because of some cultivation mistake? It would not even be strange.

Only after truly arriving in this world did Li Chang'an deeply realize that the place he was in was a real world with its own logic. The cultivation of soul masters was not that simple either.
