Douluo: You're the One Called the Theoretical Master?

In the end, he sighed helplessly and nodded, saying nothing more.

He truly did not want Ning Qinghe to take risks. In his eyes, Ning Qinghe was the best possible heir; none of his other children were even half as suited to the position.

Besides, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was already genuinely excellent in his eyes.

If it could later be developed into an Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda or even a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, that would be even better.

There was no great need to develop other systems. They had value, certainly, but not enough to gamble with Ning Qinghe.

But there was nothing he could do. Now that his child had his own ideas, all he could do was wait at the side and watch for changes in Ning Qinghe's martial soul.

He could only hope it would be a beneficial evolution.

"Thank you for your support, Father, Grandfathers."

With one less person voicing objections, Ning Qinghe smiled.

He had originally thought he would need to waste more breath persuading them.

The preparations went smoothly as well. After meditating and adjusting himself to peak condition,

he took out the prepared spear and drove it straight through the Mystic Earth Turtle's body.

The Mystic Earth Turtle not only possessed a thick, heavy shell and terrifying defense, but also an exceptionally powerful body and abundant vitality.

Yet in its helpless state, it was still slowly worn to death by Ning Qinghe.

As the enormous Mystic Earth Turtle before him lost its breath, a purple Spirit Ring slowly emerged.

Seeing this, Ning Qinghe grew excited and swiftly sat down to guide the Spirit Ring before him.

The research institute also had several minor techniques for absorbing Spirit Rings. Though they had no special effects, they could indeed speed up the absorption process.

The 3,800-year Spirit Ring entered his body, and powerful Soul Power fluctuations erupted at once, instantly flooding Ning Qinghe's entire body.

The immense force even streaked his skin with traces of blood. His blood and qi were forced outward, and he could even feel the blood within his body threatening to flow backward and burst out chaotically.

If he had been an ordinary Soul Master, or even a Soul Grandmaster, that single impact would have been enough to make his body explode.

Fortunately, Ning Qinghe felt only a faint pain before swiftly bringing the blood and qi and Soul Power within his body under control.

After that came the nourishment of Soul Power, as streams of foreign Soul Power gradually transformed into his own strength.

This immense and abundant Soul Power was equivalent to years of Ning Qinghe's bitter cultivation.

The sensation was like defeating a high-level boss in a game.

Or like a martial arts expert forcefully imparting all their inner energy to someone.

Except that the martial arts expert had become a Soul Beast.

Ning Qinghe felt no embarrassment over this. He was not someone with an especially strong moral compass. To him, killing Soul Beasts to increase his strength was no different from eating Soul Beast meat.

He would not slaughter or torture them wantonly, but neither did he reject it. If he needed to do it, he did it. It was that simple.

This world operated on the law of the strong devouring the weak. The Soul Beast's years of cultivation had now become a potent supplement for Ning Qinghe.

This was also part of the Extreme Research Institute's research. Some had even suggested that Soul Masters might abandon Soul Power cultivation altogether, focus only on cultivating their bodies, and then raise their Soul Power Level by absorbing Soul Beasts.

As time passed, Ning Qinghe opened his eyes. The purple Spirit Ring around him gleamed, having completely become his power.

His Soul Power was also extremely abundant, nothing like someone who had just broken through to become a Soul Master.

"Level seventeen Soul Master."

Ning Qinghe sensed his Soul Power Level, the corner of his lips curling upward.

His strength had increased severalfold compared to before.

Sure enough, a powerful body was the key to absorbing a Soul Beast's Soul Power.

Soul Masters could completely use the Soul Power of Soul Beasts to level up.

At least at the lower levels, the effect was exceptionally good.

Of course, once their levels rose later on, there would not be so many Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts or Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts available to choose from.

"He actually broke through to level seventeen right away?"

"One Spirit Ring raised him seven levels? Then what was all our previous cultivation for?"

Ning Fengzhi and the others beside him had not expected things to be this outrageous.

Previously, when people absorbed Thousand-Year Spirit Rings and broke through three, four, or even five levels, he had already found it absurd.

At this rate, could they absorb one around five thousand years old and rise directly to level twenty?

An ordinary Soul Master absorbing a Hundred-Year Spirit Ring could at most rise one or two levels.

This was a difference of five whole levels. It truly was outrageous.

But then again, a 3,800-year Spirit Ring did indeed far surpass ordinary Spirit Rings.

Listening to the astonished cries of the ignorant people beside him,

Ning Qinghe remained calm and even felt that it was only natural.

"We have tested this situation many times. For low-level Soul Masters, it is perfectly normal."

"The Soul Power of a 3,800-year Soul Beast is terrifying for a Soul Master. I feel that quite a bit of the Soul Power also enhanced my physical strength."

"Otherwise, my Soul Power Level would probably have gone directly to level twenty."

"With my current condition, I do not even need to wait until level twenty. As I am now, I can absorb an 8,000-year Soul Beast."

Ning Qinghe touched his body.

He had a rough estimate of his physical strength.

If he continued cultivating, it would not be impossible for him to reach level twenty in a few years and absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

Those figures left Ning Fengzhi and the others gaping.

A Soul Master at this level could directly break through to level twenty in a single day?

Rising seven levels had already shocked them.

In the past, even five levels had been enough to make them jealous.

This was a truly enormous surprise.

"Actually, it is not that complicated. When absorbing a Spirit Ring, the Soul Power contained within the Soul Beast is like a tonic. After taking such a powerful tonic, cultivation naturally shoots upward. It is only that no one had done this before, absorbing Spirit Rings beyond their level."

"Besides, the effect is only better in the early stages. Later, Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts and even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts might only raise a Titled Douluo by one or two levels. Achieving an effect like this would be unlikely."

Ning Qinghe looked at the stunned group and gave them a brief explanation.

The main reason was that everyone on the continent focused on the cultivation speed of geniuses.

And no one had been full enough to, like him, pour so many resources into cultivating their body.

Watching Ning Qinghe calmly explain the situation, Ning Fengzhi truly wanted to pry open his head and see what was inside.

Although after listening to Ning Qinghe's explanation, he too felt that it sounded quite simple.

But the fact was that Ning Qinghe had thought of something no one else had paid attention to.

This also made him resolve that, in the future, all talented members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would need to absorb those high-level Spirit Rings.

When Ning Fengzhi voiced that idea, Ning Qinghe replied with only one sentence.

"Leaving aside whether there are enough Soul Beasts for you to absorb, have you considered how you will deal with all those people in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who have had Thousand-Year Spirit Rings as their first rings?"

"Would the other factions have no objections?"

Soul Beasts were not cabbages that could be harvested wave after wave.

Those words made Ning Fengzhi's expression stiffen.

He too thought of the troublesome implications.

"I will have the sect first designate several areas. We will raise Soul Beasts ourselves. With enough resources, producing some Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts should be manageable."

"As for the information, we will conceal it for as long as we can."

He quickly made his choice.

As for the other major factions, given the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's current situation, they truly had no way to handle them all directly.

Watching the hesitant Ning Fengzhi,

"Concealment is certain, but there are no secrets that can stay hidden forever. It is only a matter of time before it is discovered."

"First, select talents and train them in isolation. Then find a suitable opportunity to spread the news. That is what I think."

Ning Qinghe voiced his idea.

"You want to spread it?"

Ning Fengzhi looked at him in some surprise.

This was no small matter.

"This cannot remain hidden forever. When it leaks out, let them research it themselves. Otherwise, they will all keep their eyes on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
