Secondary Refinement: Soul Disk
Just like the Mysterious Heaven Skill that Tang San carried after his rebirth, it wasn't that the technique itself surpassed all the cultivation methods in this world, but rather that its basic theoretical level—that is, the basic knowledge of various human meridians—put the theories summarized by the Soul Master of this world over thousands of years to the ground and rubbed them hard.
It's just that Tang San himself in the original story was unaware of this.
Similarly.
What Zhou Qing brought with him from his previous life wasn't some kind of superhuman ability to dominate everything, but rather a broader perspective and way of thinking.
In this world, once you have the right key, you can make use of that advantage!
What is a key?
Martial Soul with innate Innate Full Soul Power!
He also learned a complete set of basic theories about human meridians and acupoints from Tang San!
These two factors give Zhou Qing the opportunity to achieve results that most, if not all, Soul Master Soul Master in the world could not even imagine!
"I see. Soul Master absorb Soul Ring mainly through their Martial Soul. The so-called refining process is actually about 'polishing' a medium that allows the two to connect. It's a little different from piecing together building blocks, but not much... So, my hypothesis is correct. Soul Ring can indeed be ' Grafting ' onto Martial Soul Martial Soul and grow together with them, as long as the fine lines emanating from both sides within this 'channel' are truly linked!"
Zhou Qing asked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, "How long can your skill last?"
"Don't worry, I'm not Romantina. What I'm consuming now is my own Soul Power and Spiritual Power. Even if it lasts for three years, it won't be a problem."
Three years is obviously an exaggeration.
No matter what, Romantina hadn't reached the level of energizing her own flesh and blood. Without food and water, she would starve to death in three days, let alone three years.
After all, Soul Power can't keep you full.
Before one's strength reaches a certain level, Soul Power actually requires a strong physique to maintain its normal operation.
However, given the Spiritual Power of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, it should be able to sustain itself for three hours without any problem.
"Alright, then you maintain this state and keep an eye on the subtle fluctuations between my Martial Soul and Soul Ring. I will use your Spiritual Sharing ability to enter a cultivation state and try to connect those subtle threads with more precise control of my Soul Power."
After saying that, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on the spot and, based on the mental images shared by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, began to try again and again to make the thin lines in the channel connecting the Martial Soul and the Soul Ring truly touch each other in the slightest way.
Originally, Zhou Qing wouldn't have been able to observe such details, but with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing, it was as if he had a super microscope.
All that's left is for Zhou Qing to try them one by one, using exhaustive methods to connect all the fine threads between the Martial Soul and the Soul Ring, truly forming a unified whole!
And that is indeed the case!
Since the Soul Ring had already been refined by the Martial Soul in a simple and crude way, binding the corresponding type of threads into a unified channel, under Zhou Qing's control, the threads extending from the side of the Soul Ring actually connected with each other when they touched the threads released by the Martial Soul itself.
So easy!
However, Zhou Qing also discovered that not every two thin lines could be actively connected; some would simply miss each other after touching, completely ignoring each other.
This made Zhou Qing realize that both sides needed to be matched in the correct positions in order to link them perfectly together.
Fortunately, it can match automatically; otherwise, if I were to connect randomly, who knows what errors might occur later... Perhaps the process of Soul Master refining Soul Ring has already crafted a complete socket and plug, but actually plugging the plug into the socket is another matter entirely.
In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.
Zhou Qing opened his eyes, signaling that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could stop.
"Did it succeed?"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked excitedly.
"It's a success."
Zhou Qing nodded, a hint of fatigue in his eyes. "There are nine connecting channels between the Soul Ring and the Martial Soul, and each channel has nearly a hundred lines inside... This is a huge project. Even with your help, I'm feeling a bit listless."
However, the moment the Martial Soul Possession, his heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable vitality surged forth, spreading throughout his body, making Zhou Qing seem to regain his strength. Even his listless spirit seemed to recover at this moment.
Martial Soul: The core of the Blood Circulation System —the heart, with a faint hint of green inside its left atrium.
It was this touch of green that relieved Zhou Qing's fatigue.
This feeling is the same as when I absorbed the Soul Ring of the Moo Spring Ox, and a surge of life flowed through my spine...
Zhou Qing seemed to be deep in thought, and then focused his gaze on the Soul Ring.
The Moo Spring Ox's Soul Ring was still yellow, but the edge of that ring now had patterns resembling the Moo Spring Ox's horns, emitting Sisi red light that was extremely eye-catching.
"First Soul Skill: Yongchun!"
Zhou Qing tested his First Soul Skill and found that his Soul Power circulated much faster. At that moment, the Soul Ring trembled, and the red bull horn pattern on it shone brightly. A Huanxue line pattern of a Moo Spring Ox appeared and occupied the center of the Soul Ring.
Soul Ring?
No!
This should be called: the Soul Disk!
Zhou Qing angrily punched his fists into the nearby woods, and a blood-red Moo Spring Ox surged out from between his fists, instantly piercing through the woods and leaving a messy trail nearly fifty meters long before disappearing.
This power has increased by far more than 50%!
Zhou Qing was horrified!
Even Soul Elder would die without a burial place if he were to completely withstand a full-force attack from him. This applies to Soul Elder who possess top- Martial Soul or super Martial Soul!
"Oh ho!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm exclaimed, "Truly amazing! This is the strongest attack that Moo Spring Ox with a cultivation level of around 500 years can achieve after running and accumulating strength, and then unleashing all its power!"
what does that mean?
Zhou Qing has completely refined the Soul Ring of the Moo Spring Ox, so much so that he can unleash the complete Soul Skill the Moo Spring Ox without running to charge up his strength!
More importantly, Zhou Qing discovered that he had only consumed nearly one-third of his Soul Power!
It should be noted that when I first obtained this Soul Ring, I needed to run on the ground to accumulate power before I could use its full power, and I would be exhausted after just one strike.
But what about now?
Without having to run and gather strength, one can unleash all the power that Moo Spring Ox possessed in its lifetime, and the consumption of Soul Power is reduced to one-third of its original amount.
"This is the benefit of Secondary Refinement!"
Zhou Qing realized that merely absorbing Soul Ring only established a connection between the Martial Soul and the Soul Ring; the underlying connections weren't fully established. Even with external, invisible "conduits" to restrain it, a significant portion of the Soul Power would be wasted during the transmission process...
