The first attempt

Xiao Wu wiped her eyes, sniffed, and said:

"Your guess should be correct. Although I don't know the specifics of absorbing Soul Ring, at least based on my own feeling, advancement should be an improvement in some kind of quality of Soul Power."

"As long as one has a sufficiently strong ability to control their Soul Power, they can complete this process autonomously, activating their Soul Power and raising this trait to their current limit. In this way, the Soul Ring condensed will be at its optimal age."

Chen Feng raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Wait, are you saying that you can have Soul Ring even without Soul Skill? Is that even possible?"

Even God-granted Spirit Ring have Soul Skill; is there really such a thing as a blank Soul Ring in this world?

"How should I put it?" Xiao Wu scratched her head, "Well, there's a sequence to the formation of Soul Skill and Soul Ring, you should understand, right?"

"Of course." Chen Feng nodded. "It should be that the Soul Ring is condensed first, and then the Soul Skill appears, right?"

"Yes, first, we need to enhance the special qualities of our own Soul Power to condense the outer shell of the Soul Ring. But at this time, the Soul Ring is empty, so we need to copy it from the target Soul Beast, how should I put it?" Xiao Wu said somewhat uncertainly.

"Copy?" Chen Feng frowned. "Could you explain the process in detail?"

Xiao Wu looked somewhat embarrassed. "Well... I don't really know how to explain it to you. It's something like instinct, like how you humans, cough, I mean, we're born with the ability to use our hands to pick things up. It's hard to explain the underlying principles."

Chen Feng ignored Xiao Wu's slip of the tongue and continued to ask:

"Could you describe the general process of Self-Condensed Spirit Ring? It's similar to the process of opening your palm, gripping the object, and then picking it up."

Xiao Wu blinked and said:

"Uh, I need to first see the target Soul Beast, sense a certain circuit of Soul Power operating within its body, and then generate the same circuit in the Soul Ring. That's roughly the process."

She twisted her fingers, a little embarrassed, "I've only tried it once, so I can't say much."

Chen Feng sighed with some regret. He was right. Xiao Wu really couldn't offer much experience in Self-Condensed Spirit Ring; she was still too young.

But there was no other way; Xiao Wu was the only surviving Soul Beast Transformation into Human, and Chen Feng could only rely on her.

"Xiao Wu, next time I hope you can really experience it; I need as much detail as possible in the experience."

"Mm." Xiao Wu nodded seriously.

She knew this matter was of great significance, so she dared not be ambiguous about it in the slightest.

"If you can successfully research and develop Self-Condensed Spirit Ring that humans can also use, will Soul Master no longer need to kill Soul Beast to advance?" Xiao Wu asked hopefully.

But Chen Feng shattered her hopes, saying:

"No, if Soul Master' advancement no longer depends on Soul Beast, then there's a high chance that people will slaughter Soul Beast indiscriminately to obtain Soul Bone, making the situation even worse. Therefore, we want Soul Master to advance without killing Soul Beast Soul Beast, but not without relying on them."

Somewhere in the Academy, Tang Hao, who had just arrived, twitched his ears. "Why are these two kids talking about this kind of thing? What happened?"

Because there's no need to maintain a high level of vigilance in the city, he went to buy alcohol earlier and therefore didn't know what Chen Feng and Xiao Wu had been talking about.

But the current content is enough to make Tang Hao care, after all, he lost his beloved Ah Yin because of things like Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

Tang Hao listened attentively, while Xiao Wu, on the other side, widened her eyes upon hearing Chen Feng's words.

"Then is there any point in everything we've done?"

Chen Feng smiled slightly. "Of course it's meaningful. Have you forgotten what I just said? We can't let Soul Master's advancement be completely independent of Soul Beast."

"From what you just said, Soul Master's Soul Skill definitely require Soul Beast, which meets the requirements, doesn't it?"

"Oh right," Xiao Wu exclaimed, "Even if I can Self-Condensed Spirit Ring, I still need a living Soul Beast."

Chen Feng nodded. "That's right. In this world, Soul Master and Soul Beast cannot be separated. Whether it's killing Soul Beast to absorb Soul Ring or Self-Condensed Spirit Ring, the participation of Soul Beast is indispensable."

"Therefore, we will have to wait and see the results of our next research, and the New Order that will be established based on those results after our success."

"A new, New Order?" Xiao Wu was somewhat taken aback; she hadn't expected the topic to suddenly escalate to such a grand level.

But Chen Feng didn't delve into that topic; instead, he brought up something else.

"Speaking of which, if the main difference between Soul Beast and humans lies in the different characteristics of their Soul Power, is it possible for Soul Beast to completely disguise their aura as that of humans through some means?"

"Can you really do it?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise.

Chen Feng chuckled, "I'm not Soul Beast, how would I know if I could do it? But I think there's a chance, as long as the Soul Beast's control over its Soul Power is strong enough."

Just like the Auspicious Beast in Douluo Dalu 2 that transformed into human form and ran to Shrek, repeatedly jumping around in front of a group of Titled Douluo without being discovered, it shows that such a method of concealing one's aura should exist.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, all in one look!

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Xiao Wu said confidently:

"I'm sure I can handle that. I have excellent control over my Soul Power. Just tell me what to do."

Chen Feng thought for a moment, then summoned the Tai Chi Bagua Sword and said:

"Come and sense my Soul Power; see if you can imitate Soul Power characteristics."

"Okay." Xiao Wu didn't hesitate. After her Martial Soul Possession, she reached out and grabbed Chen Feng's wrist, closed her eyes, and began to sense it.

After a while, Xiao Wu's brows furrowed, and her complexion turned somewhat pale.

She opened her eyes, pursed her lips, and said:

"I can't. I can vaguely sense something different in your Soul Power, but I can't grasp that difference."

Chen Feng nodded, seemingly unsurprised.

There aren't many Soul Beast Transformation into Human that explicitly displayed a hidden aura in the Original Work; only Wang Qiu'er from Douluo Dalu 2 and Gu Yuena from Douluo Dalu 3.

One of them is Imperial Auspicious Beast, and the other is the ancestor of Soul Beast. What they can do, Xiao Wu may not be able to do.

"It's alright, we can take it slow," Chen Feng comforted him.

Xiao Wu was somewhat frustrated. She had finally found hope in concealing her presence, but failed because of her own lack of ability, which made her feel very upset.

Seeing that her expression was not good, Chen Feng asked:

"Were you trying to completely imitate my Soul Power just now?"

"Yes, what else?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion.

Chen Feng pondered for a moment and said:

"Have you considered imitating only a part? For example, the surface of the body? That might work too, and it would definitely be easier to imitate."
