The Relationship Between Martial Souls and Spirit Rings

"Why don't you beat me up?"

With verbal reassurance from Zhou Qing and the others, Romantina returned to normal... no! It should be said that she returned to an "abnormal" state, her face flushed, and she said to Zhou Qing, "Otherwise, I would feel guilty!"

Zhou Qing, his lips twitching, knew that for Romantina, who had masochistic tendencies, hitting her was not a punishment, but a reward.

You're a pervert!

Unable to bear it any longer, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm took over Romantina's body, cursed at her, and then said to Zhou Qing, "The contest between humans is really complicated enough; even my clever little brain can't keep up."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had been listening to Romanyac's account of what had happened, but she didn't quite understand the intricacies. She only knew one thing: that someone named Lies had stolen Zhou Qing's Soul Bone.

Depend on!

How could Sky Dream Ice Silkworm tolerate this?

Back then, he was forced by those Ferocious Beast; now, the people he protects are also being forced by Lies indirectly.

We truly understand each other's plight!

"If I ever run into that bastard again, I'll definitely come out and freeze him into an ice block," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shouted.

"Thanks, Brother Sky Dream." Seeing that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had stood up for him, Zhou Qing suddenly felt ashamed for three seconds about his plan to "tame" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the future.

"However, I will handle this myself."

"Just call me if you need anything."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm yawned and returned its body to Romantina. Romantina, her face flushed, shuddered and wiped her drool. "Every time I'm possessed by a flesh worm, I feel powerless, as if everything about me is exposed to that worm. It's really—"

"Marvelous!"

In this respect, Zhou Qing could empathize, but not truly understand, so he could only quickly climb over the walls of the Nuoding Academy and flee towards Dorm Seven.

Tang San followed closely behind.

Xiao Wu is next.

"Ah, have I been abandoned?" Romantina, alone outside the Nuoding Academy, continued to moan, twisting her body. "Is this what it feels like to be abandoned? It's not so bad!"

Located in the Sea of Romantina's Sea of Spirit, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stared with its pair of small, glittering golden eyes, utterly speechless. "Once again, I've gained a deeper understanding of those chosen by my brother. They're even more perverted than me. Would you call that 'birds of a feather flock together'? I think that's a derogatory term..."

After returning to Dorm Seven.

Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu tiptoed to their beds and lay down to rest.

Early the next morning.

Zhou Qing and Tang San were the first to get up, wash up, and begin their morning exercise.

The latter mainly focuses on cultivating the Purple Demon Eye.

The former, the Innate Internal Scripture Chart, cultivates Essence, Qi, and Spirit together. Although it does not require absorbing purple qi, practicing it in the early morning can still better enhance Spiritual Power.

What happened last night has taught Zhou Qing a lesson. In this world, the saying "possessing a treasure is a crime" is vividly demonstrated.

It couldn't compare to the other fantasy novels Zhou Qing Zhou Qing had read in his previous life, but he didn't want to experience that sense of helplessness again. He had to seize every opportunity to strengthen himself.

However, the research on Martial Soul and Soul Tool must not be abandoned. We must take advantage of the relatively stable "development period" to make up for our shortcomings as much as possible.

After Zhou Qing and Tang San finished their morning practice, Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the others also got up and began to wash up.

However, Wang Sheng and the other work-study students had many more bruises on their faces than before.

What's going on?

Xiao Wu noticed the injuries on the faces of Wang Sheng and the other work-study students, and her anger flared up. "Who did this? How dare they hit my younger brothers from Dorm Seven? This is an insult to my reputation!"

"It's Xiao Chenyu and the others..."

It turns out that Xiao Chenyu was not only arrogant and domineering in the academy, but also frequently Taunt students from poor backgrounds and even physically bullied them.

Such things are commonplace at the Nuoding Academy.

The teachers at the academy shared similar views, feeling that there was no need to interfere, as this was a necessary process for Commoner Soul Master, and that the world was ultimately unfair.

"That kid, he's obviously not a good person," Xiao Wu sneered. "After class this afternoon, I'll teach him a lesson for you guys!"

Nuoding Academy doesn't have many courses. Classes are usually held in the morning, and the afternoons are free time for students to arrange their own activities. Work-study students usually spend one or two hours completing tasks assigned by the college, such as cleaning, tidying, and moving, before they have any free time.

"Xiaoqing, Tang San, you two come too," Xiao Wu said.

"Please call me by my full name, thank you, otherwise 'Xiao Qing' sounds like a girl." Zhou Qing agreed, but she was extremely displeased with being called Xiao Wu.

Old Jack called him that affectionately.

Xiao Wu...

The relationship isn't that close yet.

"Me too, call me by my full name, thank you." Tang San imitated her, having learned last night that Su Yuntao's girlfriend Sisi, had gone to the City Lord's Mansion and become a mistress. For the first time, he felt that the nickname "Tang San" didn't sound good.

It's one thing for the simple, Holy Soul Village like Old Jack to call him that, but Xiao Wu is also very precocious when it comes to matters between men and women; she understands things very quickly.

Therefore, it's best to let Xiao Wu call him by his full name as well.

"Tch, how pretentious," Xiao Wu scoffed, but still agreed.

After Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the others went to class, Zhou Qing and Tang San went to the Back Mountain of the academy to test the changes in their Martial Soul and the specifics of their Soul Skill after obtaining Soul Ring.

First, there's Tang San.

His Blue Silver Grass was growing more lushly than before, with faint silver threads that were very faint but definitely present.

"This proves that your Blue Silver Grass is definitely Martial Soul comparable to the Clear Sky Hammer, it just hasn't fully awakened yet, or rather, it needs a Growth Period. As you acquire more Plant-type Soul Beast Soul Ring in the future, you will definitely be able to accelerate its growth." Zhou Qing pointed to the almost imperceptible silver threads on the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, speaking with absolute certainty.

Tang San completely believed Zhou Qing's theory. "After obtaining the First Spirit Ring, the path of the cultivation technique that the Blue Silver Grass gave me became clearer."

"Is it more complicated?" Zhou Qing asked.

"It doesn't seem so," Tang San shook his head.

In that case...

Zhou Qing thought of a possibility: it might not be so easy for Martial Soul to evolve by relying on Soul Ring.

Innate Soul Power represents the cultivation speed of Martial Soul.

This is a point of consensus among the Soul Master of all major forces on the continent.

If a Martial Soul Ring can Martial Soul Evolution, then the evolution of Martial Soul would be worthless.

Furthermore, the Soul Master system in the Douluo Continent has developed for so many years; it's impossible that no one was unaware of this. Even among the direct descendants of major sects, though their Martial Soul are the same, their Innate Soul Power differs, resulting in varying cultivation speeds even with the same resources...

In the original novel, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass possesses poison, but this poison only comes with when he uses his Soul Skill. His Martial Soul itself does not carry poison attributes, even before it evolves.

Soul Ring are the energy manifestation of Soul Beast's cultivation. Theoretically, even if they are of the poison attribute, they shouldn't possess physical toxins. They are generated when Martial Soul uses Soul Skill.

Yu Xiaogang was poisoned, and it was he who pulled Luo Sanpao, who had been poisoned by snake venom, back into his body...

Regarding Dugu Bo's situation, I believe his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor is rather special... I'll elaborate on that later.

Based on the universally acknowledged principle in the Douluo Continent that Innate Soul Power determines the speed of Martial Soul cultivation, the growth potential of Martial Soul Awakening, barring special circumstances, and cannot be altered by a single Soul Ring with a perfectly suitable attribute.

I believe that the enhancement of Martial Soul's quality by Soul Ring has, at most, a guiding effect.

In the original story, Shrek and his friends also underwent their transformation through the Immortal Herb.

Ma Hongjun is the most obvious.

No matter what Soul Ring Oscar obtains, the sausage will only change its form under the influence of Soul Skill.

For other lower-quality Martial Soul to break through Martial Soul inherent limits, they must find another way, taking the path of Evil Soul Master. This is the fastest way, and the possibility of mutation is greatest for this type of Martial Soul.

However, not all Soul Ring are useless. For example, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger can probably ignore the quality and attributes of the Martial Soul. As long as you can successfully absorb this Soul Ring, the power contained within it can ignore the Martial Soul itself and transform it into a form that this Soul Ring is suitable for.

However, I think this Soul Ring is only effective against non-top-tier Martial Soul, because in the original story, it cannot change Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer.
