The Path of Attribute Amplification—This Is the Ultimate Attack!

After asking his question, Qian Xunji turned his gaze toward Yun Yuan, wanting to see what unique idea he had.

Yun Yuan was currently frowning slightly, deep in thought. Clearly, he was hesitating over something.

After a long while.

Only then did Yun Yuan relax his brow, a resolute expression appearing on his face. His gaze was firmer than ever.

"Teacher, the path my Atlas Spear should take is the pursuit of ultimate attack."

"However, my goal isn't to obtain Assault Type soul skills."

At that, Qian Xunji became interested. He looked at Yun Yuan with confusion in his eyes.

"Not Assault Type soul skills? Yet you want to pursue the path of ultimate attack? Xiao Yuan, you've really tied your teacher in knots."

Qian Xunji wasn't the only one who was confused. Bibi Dong, standing nearby, was also completely baffled. She couldn't understand Yun Yuan's words at all.

Yun Yuan wanted to pursue the path of ultimate assault, yet he didn't need Assault Type soul skills. She could understand those two statements separately, but put together, they left Bibi Dong completely dumbfounded.

Could it be that her Junior Brother had gotten his head caught in a door when he went out these past three days?

Just as Bibi Dong's thoughts ran wild, Yun Yuan gave his answer.

"Teacher, the soul rings I want to obtain are ones that can amplify my own attributes, with the soul skill from each soul ring able to stack with the others. Those are the soul rings my martial soul, the Atlas Spear, needs."

Having said that, Yun Yuan looked at Qian Xunji with a firm gaze. This was the final answer he had reached after three days of thought.

He didn't need Assault Type soul skills. What he needed were soul skills that could amplify his own attributes.

After hearing Yun Yuan's answer, Qian Xunji thought furiously, but still couldn't understand his disciple's approach. In the end, he asked Yun Yuan:

"Xiao Yuan, can you explain it to your teacher?"

"If you can't convince me, I absolutely won't let you obtain this type of soul ring."

As Yun Yuan's teacher, Qian Xunji had to take responsibility for him on the path of Soul Master cultivation.

Yun Yuan's idea was somewhat fanciful. Perhaps his age and experience were still insufficient, meaning that he hadn't considered everything thoroughly. That was why Qian Xunji, with his wealth of experience, needed to correct him in time.

In Qian Xunji's view, obtaining soul rings that provided amplification-type soul skills was definitely less cost-effective than obtaining soul rings that provided Assault Type soul skills.

"Teacher, I want amplification-type soul skills because I intend to walk the path of creating my own ultimate techniques in the future."

"In battles between top-level powerhouses, only the soul skills provided by the final two or three soul rings can often have any effect. And the stronger one becomes, the smaller the role of soul skills."

"Take Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect, the Peerless Douluo known as invincible on the continent, and compare him with the Great Offering of our Spirit Hall, who is known as invincible in the sky."

"If Tang Chen hadn't created his own ultimate techniques, do you think he would have been qualified to stand alongside the Great Offering of our Spirit Hall? Judging solely by soul skills, I believe that at the same level, our Great Offering would absolutely crush that Peerless Douluo, Tang Chen."

Yun Yuan first explained his path to Qian Xunji, then used the situation between Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen as an analogy, hoping to convince his teacher.

Once a Soul Master reached the Super Douluo realm, soul skills were no longer as useful to them as they had been before.

As Soul Power Levels rose, and one reached the Peerless Douluo stage, unless the soul skill was something heaven-defying, every Peerless Douluo battle would involve the use of one's own ultimate techniques.

The Dragon Emperor Douluo Tang Wulin from Twenty Thousand Years Later was an example. He had possessed a large number of dazzling and powerful soul skills in the early stages, but in the later stages, those skills almost never played a significant role.

It was only after Tang Wulin created the Dragon Emperor Forbidden Law that his strength underwent a qualitative leap.

In Yun Yuan's view, for Soul Masters below the level of outstanding talent, obtaining Assault Type soul skills was an excellent choice if they wanted to pursue the path of ultimate attack.

But once one's talent reached a certain level and one was capable of creating personal ultimate techniques, obtaining amplification-type soul skills was necessary to pursue the path of ultimate attack.

Yun Yuan happened to be confident that he could create his own ultimate techniques and walk the path of ultimate attack to the end.

Only after hearing Yun Yuan's persuasion did Qian Xunji realize how far-sighted his junior disciple's thoughts were.

What Yun Yuan had said was indeed correct. What did Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect rely on to stand alongside his father, Qian Daoliu?

His only reliance was the ultimate technique he had created himself—the Great Sumeru Hammer. It was also the skill that troubled his father the most.

If Tang Chen hadn't possessed those ultimate techniques he had created himself, he would never have been his father's opponent.

However, there was still one flaw in the path Yun Yuan wanted to take...

Looking at Yun Yuan, Qian Xunji had already agreed with the path Yun Yuan wanted to take, but he still needed to offer a reminder.

"Xiao Yuan, your teacher supports the path you've planned."

"But the path you want to take has one flaw. Before you create an ultimate technique of your own, the effects of your soul skills will be inferior to those of other Assault Type Soul Masters."

"Have you thought this through?"

Yun Yuan had long known about the flaw Qian Xunji mentioned. Just as before, he spoke with a firm gaze:

"This disciple understands. On the path of Soul Master cultivation, I'm striving for long-term benefits. Abandoning long-term benefits for gains that are within easy reach isn't what this disciple seeks."

At that, Qian Xunji immediately applauded. He looked at Yun Yuan with admiration. What a fine boy. As expected of his, Qian Xunji's, disciple.

In the future, with Yun Yuan alone in the Spirit Hall, he would be enough to suppress the entire Soul Master World.

Now, Qian Xunji was utterly certain that as long as Yun Yuan didn't fall, the Spirit Hall would surely rise to an even higher level under Yun Yuan's leadership.

"If that's the case, wait a while longer. I'll first discuss which Soul Beasts need to be hunted with Elder Yin. As for the timing, it will probably take until noon."

"After you've had lunch, we'll set out for the Star Dou Great Forest and obtain amplification-type soul rings for you, Xiao Yuan."

Qian Xunji spoke to Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong.

He had already made thorough preparations over the past few days and recorded every Soul Beast that might need to be hunted.

But today, Yun Yuan's idea had convinced him. Although this path would be difficult, since his disciple had such ambition, he would still support him.

Moreover, to maximize the effects of amplification-type soul skills, every amplification-type soul skill needed to be capable of stacking with the others. That was the most important point.

For this reason, he needed to have a proper discussion with Elder Yin, the theoretical master of their Spirit Hall. With that man's knowledge, he would certainly be able to suggest the most suitable soul ring choices.

"Alright, Teacher. Then my Senior Sister and I will meditate and cultivate here while you discuss it thoroughly with Elder Yin."

At Qian Xunji's instructions, Yun Yuan obediently nodded. He then pulled his Senior Sister, Bibi Dong, into meditating and cultivating diligently there.

Qian Xunji, meanwhile, went to find Elder Yin and discuss with this true theoretical master what kind of Soul Beasts they should hunt for Yun Yuan.
