Circulation and Change
"In cultivating Martial Soul, attributes aren't the key; talent is fundamental, isn't it?"
When Tang San returned from the Blacksmith Shop and learned that Zhou Qing had proposed this new Martial Soul Cultivation Theory while analyzing the types and directions of Soul Skill needed for Romantina's future Martial Soul, he couldn't help but take a look.
Attributes refer to elements such as ice, fire, water, lightning, and Life.
Talent refers to the function or role of Martial Soul itself, such as: a sword can be used to slash, a brain can be used to think, and a sausage can be eaten.
Attributes are the catalyst for talent growth, while Soul Power is the key energy that promotes the growth of Martial Soul.
Therefore, when cultivating Martial Soul and acquiring Soul Ring, one should aim to do so in a way that promotes the growth of Martial Soul soul talent!
However, under normal circumstances, choosing Soul Ring whose attributes match those of the Martial Soul can promote the growth of the Martial Soul's talent. But to achieve a more perfect level, each Soul Ring should be carefully selected.
"That's right. Whether it's Tool Martial Soul or Beast Martial Soul, each has its own talents. The key to choosing Soul Ring and Soul Skill is to bring out their original talents to the fullest extent, rather than just pursuing offensive Soul Skill."
Zhou Qing said, "This can be considered a detailed supplement to the theory I proposed in the past. However, after this addition, the skill of your First Spirit Ring will not be so suitable for Blue Silver Grass."
"It's alright. After all, when we were at the First Spirit Ring, we couldn't go to the Star Dou Great Forest, a wild Soul Beast Forest rich in Soul Beast resources, to find the most suitable Soul Beast."
Noticing Zhou Qing's apology, Tang San smiled, completely unconcerned.
Putting aside his satisfaction with the effects of his First Soul Skill, Life Accumulation, and the fact that he obtained a Soul Bone, more importantly, his First Spirit Ring underwent Secondary Refinement. The age of the Soul Ring and the power of the Soul Skill could continuously increase and become stronger as his Soul Power improved and his Martial Soul grew.
What more could you ask for?
"That's true, but we already have our First Spirit Ring and a certain level of strength. We've also gained a lot of experience exploring wild Soul Beast Forest from Sister Yi and the others. If you prepare your Soul Tool Hidden Weapon well, we might be able to take the initiative to explore those Soul Beast Soul Hunting Forest with slightly richer resources to obtain our Second Spirit Ring in the future."
Zhou Qing estimated that, based on his and Tang San's cultivation speed, their Soul Power would reach around level nineteen by the end of this semester. They would then need to start thinking about their Second Spirit Ring. "We have a certain understanding of the situation in the Soul Master World through the ' Friendly Tournament.' When we encounter those Soul Hunting Team, we just need to keep our distance and be on guard."
"Preparing a plan in advance to ensure everything goes smoothly is certainly a good thing, but what talents does my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul possess?"
After confirming Zhou Qing's idea, Tang San also wondered which Soul Beast he should choose for his Second Spirit Ring Blue Silver Grass.
Softness and resilience are merely characteristics of Blue Silver Grass, not its inherent qualities.
Resilient to Life...
Life is an attribute, not a talent.
Functionally speaking, Blue Silver Grass seems to be Trash Martial Soul, with no practical use whatsoever. The leaves of Blue Silver Grass can be used to weave baskets, bags, and the like, but this is not an inherent talent of Blue Silver Grass; it is merely a method of using Blue Silver Grass leaves by humans.
This can be a direction for development, but it can't be considered a talent of the Martial Soul itself, right?
"Regarding the Blue Silver Grass's talent... When you cultivate your Soul Power in the future, especially when you are using the techniques that the Blue Silver Grass has passed on to you, you can try practicing on the grassy area full of Blue Silver Grass on the Back Mountain the academy." Zhou Qing gave a suggestion, "Blue Silver Grass that can stand on equal footing with your hammer is definitely not ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
"What kind of Blue Silver Grass is that?" Tang San blurted out.
"It's still Blue Silver Grass."
Zhou Qing gave Tang San an answer that left him speechless. However, he also realized that cultivating in a place filled with Blue Silver Grass was exactly what was called Mimetic Cultivation Environment.
"Oh, right," Zhou Qing added, "You can also try cultivating in grasslands or forests where there is no Blue Silver Grass but other weeds, and compare the results. I think with your Spiritual Power, if you carefully sense the differences, you should be able to find them, which will help you better determine your Blue Silver Grass talent."
"Comparison?" Tang San's eyes lit up. He realized that Zhou Qing was always able to offer seemingly simple but highly effective suggestions. "I understand."
"After confirming the effect of your Blue Silver Grass talent, I will do my best to plan the most suitable Second Spirit Ring option for you based on the conditions we currently have."
The Soul Bone incident in Nuoding City may seem to have passed on the surface, but undercurrents are still surging beneath the surface.
Just in case, Tang San must be further strengthened.
Thanks.
Tang San was overjoyed.
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Qing's expression changed. "This is too formal."
"Uh, haha, that's true. Why are you saying thank you between us?" Tang San was taken aback, then laughed and asked about Zhou Qing's talent in the Blood Circulation System Martial Soul, thus changing the subject.
Zhou Qing has his own research on the Blood Circulation System:
The properties of the Blood Circulation System can be summarized by the term "Qi and Blood".
And talent?
From a medical perspective, the human Blood Circulation System has three main functions: transporting nutrients, metabolizing waste, and maintaining normal physiological activities.
When the Blood Circulation System becomes Martial Soul, it will inevitably possess these three talents, but in summary, they can be described in one word—
cycle.
The cultivation method passed down to him by his Martial Soul, the Innate Internal Scripture Chart, is essentially helping him construct an Inner World cycle based on Soul Power.
The goal of Martial Soul's growth is to eventually achieve a complete balance with the Inner World cycle it forms with its body.
It's like getting the "gears" of the two circulation systems to fit together perfectly.
In this process, Soul Ring and Soul Skill are not so important; Zhou Qing himself only needs offensive Soul Skill for protection in order to grow to that level.
Earth Fire Wind Water.
These four elements are the first four Soul Ring options that Zhou Qing summarized for his own Soul Power cultivation.
For Soul Beast to be suitable for Blood Circulation System Martial Soul, it only needs to meet the condition of "abundant Qi and Blood"; "Life" is just a secondary factor.
Which Soul Beast with abundant Qi and Blood is not strong in Life?
However, in order to condense the Four True Essences within the Innate Internal Scripture Chart, and to use these elements as the foundation for opening up and constructing a true Human Body Microcosm and the Spiritual Inner Scenery, it is necessary to condense the elements of earth, fire, wind, and water.
Zhou Qing has already decided on the next element to be refined: water.
The earth is the root of all things.
Water is the source of all things.
Having condensed the earth and water, Zhou Qing had already established half of his foundation. More importantly, Zhou Qing also had another ambition: to control the cycle of the Four Seasons Cycle.
When absorbing the Moo Spring Ox's Soul Ring, Zhou Qing clearly sensed a peculiar vitality, different from ordinary Life, coursing through his spine. Furthermore, the Moo Spring Ox had unexpectedly dropped a Head Soul Bone —something only Spirit System Soul Beast could produce—so Zhou Qing was willing to believe:
The Moo Spring Ox is indeed related to the climate of "spring"!
So much so that when he absorbed the Soul Ring, he also incorporated the aura of "spring" into himself.
