Guaranteed Mission Accomplished!

Could the nine channels between Martial Soul and its Soul Ring be related to the altered form of the Soul Palace?

This possibility cannot be denied.

After all, the rule in the Douluo Continent that Soul Master need Soul Beast to break through bottlenecks likely involves this aspect as well.

Regarding Martial Soul, there is one thing Zhou Qing is absolutely certain of: Martial Soul possess their own unique talents and attributes, and the main resource that enables Martial Soul to grow is Soul Power!

This means that, under normal circumstances, Soul Master doesn't actually need Soul Ring to break through bottlenecks when cultivating and increasing Soul Power.

Soul Master can develop and create their own skills based on their Soul Master Martial Soul and attributes as they grow.

Unfortunately, such is the rule of the world. Without obtaining Soul Ring, Soul Master cannot improve their Soul Power. Even God-level Martial Soul like the Six-Winged Angel, which is at level 20 innately, cannot escape the constraints of this rule.

When the Martial Soul seed within an infant takes its first breath of air, this rule causes a slight change in the rules governing the expanding Soul Palace outside the Martial Soul seed. This means that the Martial Soul must obtain Soul Ring before Soul Master can break through the bottleneck to the next realm.

But.

It concerns the rules of the world, and it is very likely that these rules were added by the Divine Realm or the Dragon God. It is too far removed from the present moment for Zhou Qing to think about.

The most crucial point now:

How can the "Soul Palace" in the human body be recreated?

Zhou Qing also had some ideas...

···

The Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony was still ongoing in Nuoding City Square, but Zhou Qing had already left with Tang San, Romantina, and Xiao Wu. Wang Sheng, on the other hand, continued to watch the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony with the other work-study students and ordinary students, preparing to see how many junior students would Nuoding Academy in the second half of the year.

As Zhou Qing passed by the Spirit Hall, he happened to see Su Yuntao coming out from inside.

Seeing that he was carrying a bundle, Zhou Qing knew that he was going to various villages near Nuoding City to help awaken Martial Soul.

"Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Miss Roman... oh no, now I should call you teacher." Su Yuntao seemed to have completely recovered from his grief and greeted everyone.

Xiao Wu stared with her big pink eyes and asked with dissatisfaction, "Bro Tao, why didn't you call me? Am I that insignificant?"

"Who... are you?"

Su Yuntao naturally recognized Xiao Wu, but he maintained a respectful distance from this child who also came from the rural area near Nuoding City, but whose Martial Soul was not awakened by him personally.

Xiao Wu suddenly felt that Soul Master whose Martial Soul was a wolf seemed to be a bit deserving of a beating.

Xiao Chenyu is like that...

Su Yuntao, standing before me, seems to have that inclination as well.

"Haha! Xiao Wu! I remember now!" Su Yuntao quickly apologized and changed the subject, "I won't chat with you any longer. There are nearly fifty villages around Nuoding City, it will take seven or eight days."

"Does it take this long?" Tang San asked in surprise.

"Nuoding City is near the border of the Star Luo Empire, and there are about thirty villages. They are not far apart from each other. Considering the time it will take for me to recover my Soul Power after it is depleted, it will only take two days. However, the remaining dozen or so villages are located in the other three areas of Nuoding City. The farthest village is nearly thirty kilometers away from Nuoding City."

Su Yuntao explained, "Because the roads between villages are rugged and uneven, no horse-drawn carriages are willing to go there, so I can only walk, which naturally takes longer."

Thirty kilometers!

Xiao Wu was surprised, "So far away, and it's still under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City?"

"The village is governed by the city it is closest to."

Su Yuntao seemed to be sighing, or perhaps complaining.

"That small village, thirty kilometers from Nuoding City, is thirty-five kilometers from the next city. It's only because it's five kilometers closer to Nuoding City that it falls under the jurisdiction of the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch. What's more troublesome is that there are no other villages nearby. Once I get there, I have to go back about ten kilometers along the same route before turning around to go to other villages... It's exhausting!"

"Last time I went there to help awaken Martial Soul, not a single child was exactly six years old, making my trip a complete waste..."

"Bro Tao, you've really worked hard," Zhou Qing said with a smile. "However, this time when you go to our border area, let's go directly to Holy Soul Village. It will save Bro Tao a lot of time, and we might be able to get it done in half a day."

"Oh?"

Su Yuntao was puzzled.

"When Tang San, Xiao Wu, and I went back last year, we discussed it with Grandpa Jack and the village chiefs of those thirty-odd villages. We rebuilt the roads, Attaining the Dao wider and more convenient to travel. We also found a natural open-air cave and built a rural Vegetable Market there. Since then, the villages have been able to exchange goods and become self-sufficient."

Zhou Qing gave a brief introduction, then said, "Bro Tao, you can just go directly to Holy Soul Village. I'll talk to Grandpa Jack in advance and ask him to inform people in other villages to bring all the school-age children to the Vegetable Market, so that you won't have to go through the trouble of visiting each village one by Bro Tao."

"This is great! This is wonderful!"

Su Yuntao was overjoyed. He bid farewell to Zhou Qing and headed towards the North Gate, intending to first go to the village thirty kilometers away from Nuoding City.

Later, Zhou Qing found Bu Yi at the Nuoding Academy and asked the sisters to go to Falling Star City to purchase Soul Sand and Soul Crystal from You Hui and transport them to Holy Soul Village.

"Sister Yi, the Soul Palace is no longer just a guess. With the help of Romantina's Brain Martial Soul's talent, its existence has been detected, and Tang San has even created a model of it."

Watching Zhou Qing take out the Artificial Soul Palace from the Gray Pouch and hand it to her, Bu Yi was speechless. "You guys actually succeeded!"

After injecting Soul Power, watching the Soul Sand flow and circulate within the Artificial Soul Palace model, Bu Yi immediately sensed that her Martial Soul trembled, as if it were reacting to it.

In a flash, Bu Yi thought about many things, and in the end, she could only conclude that Zhou Qing himself was a miracle. The problem of the sudden drop in cultivation speed after the Elemental Fox Martial Soul owner broke through Level 30 might really be solved by this seven-year-old boy.

So she agreed and asked, "Soul Crystal and Soul Sand, right? How much do you need? Do you have enough money?"

"Not too many. Take this Artificial Soul Palace as an example. Imagine how many Soul Crystal it would take to fit a whole person inside. You can use a little more... You Hui mind, just buy all the Soul Crystal that Youhui has left. As for Soul Sand, we don't need too much." Zhou Qing said, pointing to the Artificial Soul Palace. He then took out a Soul Card containing the 500,000 Gold Soul Coin that Romanyac had paid him when he exchanged the Moo Spring Ox for it.

"No need," You Hui said with a smile, refusing the offer. "If we really succeed, would you treat us unfairly? We'd have to pay something."

"Do you have 500,000 Gold Soul Coin?" Zhou Qing asked.

In an instant, Bu Yi's expression changed. She grabbed the Soul Card from Zhou Qing's hand and, as if she hadn't said anything, coughed and said, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Zhou Qing: "..."
