A Spirit Soul's Test and a Proposal (Please Bookmark and Follow-Following Is Important~ Thanks, Everyone~)

For the next while, Ye Linyuan's life became more regular.

During the day, he built houses with the senior brothers and elders of the Body Sect. At night, he meditated to cultivate Soul Power and studied the Cold Sun Forging Heart Art left behind by that senior.

That evening.

Ye Linyuan sat cross-legged on his bed and murmured, "At this pace, we should be finished tomorrow."

"Seriously, fantasy worlds are something else. People can fly through the sky, move across the earth, and lift a thousand jin. Their house-building efficiency is no joke."

Just then, an aged voice suddenly rang out in Ye Linyuan's mind. "Lin Yuan, this old man has nearly finished studying the Cold Sun Forging Heart Art."

"It uses the power of ice and fire to temper the body, then stimulates the flesh with a heart martial soul to unlock potential. It is indeed a fine idea."

"However, this method also has a flaw. You must take care."

Ye Linyuan was startled and hurriedly asked, "Elder Yi, what flaw does this secret art have?"

Electrolux smiled gently. "There is no need to worry. It is not a serious problem."

"The logic behind this secret art is sound, but its creator overlooked something. Since ice and fire are used to temper the body, the body will naturally absorb their power during the process."

"However, in the early stages, he was limited by his circumstances. The ice and fire power he used for tempering came entirely from the mundane world—ordinary flames and ice."

"As a result, the ice and fire power his body absorbed during the initial tempering was too crude. Without spiritual power to nourish his flesh, his foundation was damaged."

"The solution is simple. During the tempering process, add ice- and fire-attributed spiritual herbs rich in spiritual power."

"The higher the grade of the spiritual herbs and the more abundant their spiritual power, the better the tempering effect and the less harm it will cause to the body."

Hearing this, Ye Linyuan revealed a delighted expression.

Ice and fire power rich in spiritual power?

What a coincidence!

Wouldn't the icy spring and fiery spring within the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well be Heavenly Treasures tailor-made for this method?

Then Ye Linyuan's gaze shifted as he suddenly thought of something.

In Douluo II, there were two especially interesting things.

One was Soul Tools, and the other was Spirit Souls.

Soul Tools were limited by forging standards. Although they had already begun advancing rapidly, the true era of explosive growth was still far away.

In Douluo II, the deciding factor in battle was still powerful soul masters.

But Spirit Souls were different!

For Douluo Continent, where soul beast resources were rapidly dwindling, this was undoubtedly a truly epoch-making creation!

Not only could it allow soul masters to possess high-age Soul Rings beyond their level, it could also increase the variety of their combat abilities and greatly ease the conflict between soul masters and soul beasts.

And the emergence of Spirit Souls was almost entirely due to Electrolux.

Now that Electrolux had been claimed by him first, could he find a way to ask Elder Yi to bring Spirit Souls into existence ahead of time?

After his second martial soul had been occupied by Elder Yi, he could no longer obtain Soul Skills through Soul Rings, but he could still fuse with Soul Rings to strengthen his body.

Thus, finding Soul Rings for his second martial soul was actually easier now. He only needed to set his sights on soul beasts with high cultivation ages.

After all, with the inclusiveness of a sacred attribute, he could accept anything that came his way.

As long as a high-level soul beast willingly signed a contract with him, he would not have to wait until he became an eight-ringed Soul Douluo before attaching Soul Rings to his second martial soul.

He could completely attach Spirit Souls in advance and greatly accelerate his early development.

For example, the hundred-thousand-year plant-type soul beasts within the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well!

And he must not forget that the Soul Power bonus brought by high-level Spirit Souls came with no hidden drawbacks whatsoever!

Ye Linyuan's eyes shone brightly as he suddenly said, "Elder Yi, I once saw something interesting in an ancient book."

"Soul masters on Douluo Continent can only cultivate and advance by fusing with Soul Rings."

"But after tens of thousands of years of development on Douluo Continent, the number of human soul masters has continued to grow, while the number of soul beasts has sharply declined."

"At this rate, it may not be long before soul beasts are hunted by human soul masters to the point of facing extinction."

"When that happens, the soul beast race will certainly wage all-out war against human soul masters, fighting to the death."

"In response to this situation, that ancient book proposed an interesting idea."

"If a soul beast that was dying or nearing the end of its lifespan was willing to voluntarily offer its power and form a contract with a human soul master in need of a Soul Ring, preserving its intelligence and surviving in another special form of life..."

"Then soul masters and soul beasts could achieve a win-win situation."

"It called this unique form of existence a Wisdom Spirit Ring, also known as a Spirit Soul!"

"Elder Yi, do you think such an idea could be realized?"

Electrolux was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.

Ye Linyuan did not urge him and quietly waited for Elder Yi's answer.

After a long while.

Electrolux praised, "This person possessed great wisdom. Such a proposal is remarkably ahead of its time."

"Lin Yuan, when you fused with your Soul Ring a few days ago, I carefully sensed the entire process."

"From what I observed, the energy in a soul beast's Soul Ring is mainly its spiritual essence, along with a tiny portion of fragments from the laws of power."

"To put it simply, a Soul Ring is a soul beast's shattered soul."

"If a soul beast is willing to offer up its soul and uses some unique method to protect its integrity while combining with a soul master..."

"Then it is indeed possible to form the kind of Wisdom Spirit Ring it described."

Ye Linyuan's spirits rose, and he probed, "Elder Yi, this method of combining should place very high demands on spiritual power, right?"

"If one is not a soul master with a spiritual attribute, can they still do this?"

Ye Linyuan remembered clearly.

The original story had specifically emphasized that only soul masters with spiritual attributes could form Spirit Contracts, which was why Huo Gua had been able to reap the benefits.

But he had always felt that explanation was not quite right.

A spiritual-type martial soul did indeed grant stronger spiritual power and a stronger soul than ordinary soul masters, but the gap between cultivation levels could not be ignored.

If even a Soul Ring and a spiritual-attribute Soul Emperor could form a Spirit Contract, then could a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse really possess weaker spiritual power and a weaker soul than them?

Could they not form a Spirit Contract, then?

Or did forming a Spirit Contract require some fixed spiritual trait that only soul masters with spiritual attributes possessed?

Ye Linyuan's two martial souls were one evil and one righteous, neither of them a spiritual-type martial soul.

If that were truly the case, then unless he gathered other soul masters with spiritual attributes...

Spirit Souls would have nothing to do with him.

Electrolux chuckled. "Of course other soul masters can do it. Spiritual power and souls are not exclusive to soul masters with spiritual attributes."

"Among all intelligent life on the continent, who does not possess spirit and soul?"

"However, the path of the soul is extremely complex. The slightest mistake during the process could lead to major problems."

"Although I have never encountered a soul master with a spiritual attribute, I can guess that their control over spiritual power should far surpass that of ordinary soul masters."

"It is like how everyone has hands, feet, eyes, and a heart, yet ordinary soul masters cannot achieve the same extreme degree of control and development as people like you."

"If there truly is a secret method for transforming soul beasts into Spirit Souls, then in theory, soul masters with spiritual attributes would indeed find it much easier to perform."

"But that does not mean soul masters without spiritual attributes cannot do it. The requirements for the soul and spiritual power would simply be higher."
