The Spirit Power Core Proposal
Chen Feng never expected that Dugu Bo would use the same tactic against him.
He could only remain silent in the face of Dugu Bo's counterattack.
Because Dugu Bo was right, his master Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul was indeed lost later.
Chen Xin devoted his life to the sword and never sought a spouse. Therefore, after he and Gu Rong were killed in the Original Work, the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul ceased to exist in the world.
It has to be said that this is a very regrettable thing.
Chen Feng naturally wanted his master to find him a companion, but he couldn't think of a good candidate for the time being.
Helpless, he could only give an awkward smile and gloss over the topic.
Dugu Bo did not dwell on the matter further. He said:
"Now that my Martial Soul issue is basically resolved, it's time to fulfill my promise to you and make up for the blood I lost over those two years."
"Senior is truly a trustworthy person." Chen Feng was secretly delighted.
"Speaking of which, what exactly do you want my blood for?" Dugu Bo asked, voicing his doubts.
Chen Feng didn't hide anything and briefly explained the problem with his Martial Soul.
"I see. I didn't expect your Martial Soul to be incomplete," Dugu Bo remarked. "Could this be considered a case of heaven being jealous of talent?"
"Hey, I'm just an ordinary kid, how would God notice me?" Chen Feng said with a smile.
"You're anything but ordinary. If you're considered an ordinary kid, then there are no special people in this world," Dugu Bo said.
"You flatter me, senior," Chen Feng said modestly.
"Alright, let's not talk about this nonsense. What do you need me to do?" Dugu Bo asked.
Chen Feng summoned his Martial Soul and pointed to the Taiji Bagua Diagram on his sword, saying:
"Please, senior, pour your blood here. The amount of blood needed is quite large, and it may not be possible to complete it in one go. I hope you can understand."
"It's a small matter." Dugu Bo ran his wrist along the blade of the Tai Chi Bagua Sword, then suspended his wrist over the Taiji Bagua Diagram on the Sword Guard, allowing his blood to flow smoothly onto it.
"You helped me solve my Martial Soul problem, and I'll help you solve Martial Soul. That's fair."
Chen Feng watched as his sword absorbed all the blood released by Dugu Bo, and said:
"Speaking of which, senior, I suddenly have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible."
"What are your thoughts?" Dugu Bo asked while Blood One.
Chen Feng pondered for a moment and said:
"Do you remember the Soul Bone Poison Storage Method that we discussed back then?"
"I remember you said you'd use Soul Bone as a storage place for the poison to reduce its harm to me. But now my problem has been solved with Water Attribute Immortal Herb. Although Yan Yan might not be able to find Immortal Herb, she can achieve a similar effect through Soul Ring. So this Soul Bone Poison Storage Method should be of little use now, right?"
Chen Feng shook his head and said:
"Over the years, I've actually been considering whether there's any possibility of further advancing the way Soul Master cultivate their Soul Power."
"A further possibility?" Dugu Bo, somewhat puzzled.
Chen Feng nodded. "That's right. Soul Master consume Soul Power during battle, but the amount of Soul Power Soul Master can store is limited. Once the Soul Power is exhausted, the Soul Master will lose the ability to fight. I was thinking about whether there was a way to increase the amount of Soul Power a Soul Master Soul Master can store, which would naturally increase their combat power significantly."
"Isn't that just leveling up?" Dugu Bo asked doubtfully. "After leveling up, the amount of Soul Power stored in the body will naturally increase."
Chen Feng nodded, then shook his head. "Below the Titled Douluo realm, it is slightly easier for Soul Master to increase their Soul Power Level, so there is no problem in focusing on increasing Soul Power at this time. This is also the easiest and most universally applicable method."
"But it's not like that for Titled Douluo. After reaching the Titled Douluo, the rate of increase in Soul Power drops significantly. Wouldn't it be great if there were other ways to increase Soul Power reserves at that point?"
Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"My idea is to compress Soul Power!" Chen Feng said in a deep voice.
"Compressing Soul Power?"
"That's right, by compressing Soul Power into a core, the amount of Soul Power stored can undoubtedly be increased."
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Dugu Bo's expression became somewhat subtle. "Is it enough to just condense a core?"
"Of course not." Chen Feng shook his head. "Senior, you should know that the essence of Soul Power meditation is that Soul Power circulates continuously within the body in a specific way, and then gradually transforms the free Soul Power from the outside world into one's own."
"I've discovered that during meditation, the Soul Power always passes through a fixed point, which is the Dantian. Based on my understanding of several meditation methods, there are no exceptions."
Chen Feng now possesses several Soul Power meditation methods, including the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan cultivation method from the Grandmaster, the cultivation method obtained from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and the Tai Chi Skill he created himself.
The first two cultivation methods are quite similar, while the latter two are from the same school. Their common feature is that they both require the Soul Power (internal force) to pass through the Dantian when circulating.
The Dantian holds a very special significance in various martial arts and cultivation novels, second only to the brain and heart in importance.
Chen Feng believed that this place should be the junction of all the meridians in the body, a part similar to a transportation hub, so it is of utmost importance no matter what kind of cultivation method is used.
Dugu Bo had no objection to Chen Feng's statement, but simply asked:
"And then, knowing that?"
"Knowing this, we can use the Dantian area to do things, such as condensing Soul Power into a core and placing it here, or directly condensing Spirit Power Core in this area and then making it rotate."
What Chen Feng was talking about was the Soul Core Cultivation Method from the Douluo Dalu 2 era. The principle was not difficult to understand, but putting it into practice was not so easy.
Regardless, the Soul Core Cultivation Method is a relatively reliable method that can help Soul Master steadily advance to the Titled Douluo, so Chen Feng had no reason not to use it.
The reason I'm only bringing it out now is because Dugu Bo in front of me is the most suitable person to study the Soul Core Cultivation Method.
Firstly, he is Titled Douluo, and secondly, he already possesses a Pill Bead.
Pill Bead and Soul Core are definitely not the same thing. After all, in the Douluo Dalu 2 Zhuan, there was never Soul Core that could be given back to someone else. However, Chen Feng believed that Dugu Bo's Pill Bead should be somewhat helpful for him to experiment with the Soul Core Cultivation Method.
As far as Chen Feng knew, neither his master Chen Xin nor Gu Rong possessed anything similar, so Chen Feng entrusted the task of experimenting with the Soul Core Cultivation Method to Dugu Bo.
The exploration of a cultivation method cannot be accomplished simply by talking about it. For example, it took about three years to succeed with the Blood Rage. It will probably take a long time for the Soul Core Cultivation Method to go from theory to success.
Since Dugu Bo already has the Pill Bead, it is naturally most appropriate to hand it over to him for experimentation, which can speed up the process a bit.
As expected, after listening to Chen Feng's story, Dugu Bo's face showed a thoughtful expression.
After a while, he asked:
"The purpose of making you spin the Spirit Power Core... is to accelerate the circulation of Soul Power?"
"That's right." Chen Feng nodded. "Since you've been to sea, senior, I wonder if you've ever seen a whirlpool? Everything around a whirlpool gets sucked in. I think making the Spirit Power Core spin has a similar effect."
"That makes sense," Dugu Bo agreed.
His wrist had already scabbed over, Dugu Bo was about to remove the scabs to let the blood flow out again when Chen Feng stopped him.
"Senior, there's no need to rush."
Chen Feng needs a lot of health; it's a long-term endeavor, so taking it slow and steady is the best approach.
Dugu Bo didn't care. He said:
"Why don't you come to my place? On one hand, it will be easier for me to help you repair your Martial Soul, and on the other hand, we can discuss the issue of this Spirit Power Core."
Chen Feng thought for a moment and said:
"Our dean is busy with the relocation of the Academy. I'll go see you again after the Academy moves to Heaven Dou City, or you could become Consultant to our Academy."
"Then let's wait until you move in. Forget about the Consultant thing; I'm not interested in that kind of thing," Dugu Bo said.
Chen Feng didn't insist. Firstly, although he and Dugu Bo had a mutual support relationship, their personal feelings weren't quite there yet, since they hadn't known each other long enough; their two meetings combined had taken less than half a day.
Benefactors and friends are ultimately different, just as Dugu Bo would never have a heart-to-heart talk with Prince Xue Xing.
Secondly, if Dugu Bo were to become Consultant to the Shrek Academy now, Chen Feng would have no good reason to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Therefore, he planned to postpone the Consultant appointment.
After finishing their discussion, Dugu Bo left quietly.
His main purpose in coming here was to fulfill his promise and also to chat with Chen Feng about his experiences over the past few days.
Given Dugu Bo's temperament, there were few people he could talk to about these things, so Chen Feng became his confidant.
After seeing Dugu Bo off, Chen Feng planned to go back to his dormitory to pack his things, since the Academy was going to relocate soon.
Although Flender and the Grandmaster haven't returned yet, Chen Feng thinks that their trip to the Blue Tyrant Academy shouldn't be a problem, and the reunion of the Golden Iron Triangle is basically a foregone conclusion.
When Chen Feng arrived at his dormitory, he saw Ning Rongrong waiting at the door with a somewhat resentful expression.
"What's wrong? You look unhappy," Chen Feng asked, puzzled.
"It's all your fault," Ning Rongrong said angrily, summoning her Martial Soul.
"Look!" she said, pointing to the base of her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. "You even told me to use it for fighting, but now Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's got dents."
Chen Feng looked in the direction she pointed and saw a faint white mark on the base of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
His expression immediately turned somewhat awkward. "Is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda really that fragile?"
"Of course! What you're saying is simply not feasible," Ning Rongrong said with some complaint.
"I was indeed too presumptuous and overlooked the issue of Spirit Strength," Chen Feng readily admitted his mistake.
Making mistakes is common in research; as long as they are corrected in time, it's fine. So he never complains about it.
"Alright, alright, it's just a small mark, nothing serious. It'll probably heal in a day or two," Ning Rongrong said with a smile, comforting Chen Feng looked somewhat guilty.
Chen Feng reached out and touched the marks on the tower, then asked:
"How did you get these white marks?"
"Didn't you tell me to try using the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda a fight? So I tried using it to smash things to see if my Martial Soul could withstand strong impacts. It was fine when I smashed a tree, but I got a mark when I smashed a rock," Ning Rongrong said after she put her Martial Soul away.
"I see." Chen Feng sighed softly. It seemed that the idea of training Ning Rongrong to be a powerful support character was temporarily shelved.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's inherent weakness is a major problem. To overcome this weakness, it is necessary to absorb Soul Ring that enhances the Spirit Strength.
However, as Chen Feng had said before, the principle of absorbing Soul Ring is to Foster Strengths and Avoid Weaknesses, and to strengthen Strengthen the Foundation and Nourish the Essence.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda abandons its powerful support abilities to absorb Soul Ring that enhance its own strength, which is putting the cart before the horse and is simply not worthwhile.
Even if one wants to enhance their own strength, it must be an ability that comes with the Soul Ring, not an ability that one specifically acquires.
As Chen Feng pondered, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
He remembered that in the Original Work, Ning Rongrong absorbed a defensive enhancement Soul Skill as her Third Soul Ring. Would it be better if this defensive enhancement could be applied to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?
Chen Feng stroked his chin and thought for a while before finally rejecting the idea.
Because Ning Rongrong's Soul Skill all have percentage-based bonuses, meaning the stronger the person, the higher the bonus they receive.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda itself is not strong enough, even if it is given a defensive enhancement, the effect will be very limited.
"Sigh, forget it, let's not get into all this fancy stuff. Rongrong, you should just focus on support," Chen Feng said.
Although Oscar eventually became a combat support in the Original Work, his main purpose was to comply with the rules of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He went through countless hardships to find a Mirror Beast and successfully defied fate.
The suffering and hardship he endured are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
Ning Rongrong doesn't really need to pursue combat power, since Chen Feng is protecting her. Therefore, it's better for Ning Rongrong to focus on support and self-preservation abilities.
If Oscar and Meng Yiran really do get together, then Oscar probably won't pursue combat abilities anymore, because he won't have enough motivation.
Actually, this is fine too. A combination of one support and one warrior is always more suitable than two supports, so as not to highlight weaknesses and avoid strengths.
Just as Chen Feng and Ning Rongrong were about to enter the dormitory, the familiar bell rang.
If nothing unexpected happens, the dean should be back.
