While the outside world fiercely debated the Sky Screen's upcoming content about Yu Chen.

Su Chen, meanwhile, had collapsed flat on his back in the System Space, his face practically screaming boredom.

Just as Yu Xiaogang's Sky Screen video had been playing outside, the simulation footage before Su Chen had suddenly vanished. If he had not still been in the System Space, he would have thought the system had run off.

Only after asking did he learn that every simulation consumed simulation energy to load, much like using mobile data—occasional lag was unavoidable.

Su Chen could understand that. But who would have thought the wait would take so long? He had counted past five thousand, yet the simulation screen still showed no response.

Finally losing patience, Su Chen got up and launched into an irritated tirade.

"What kind of trash system is this?! At least the ads in other novels have a time indicator. Why did yours just go straight to a black screen?!"

"Look at the systems other novel protagonists get. Not only do their simulations run smoothly, they can pause whenever they want, or even run in the background. And you? I have to personally sit here and watch it for it to work."

"Hey! I'm giving you three seconds! If you still don't load it, I'm leaving!"

"Three, two, one..."

Just as Su Chen was about to give up and lie down for a nap, the system announcement sounded.

[Simulation loaded. Continue simulation?]

"Heh, so I really had to push you first?"

Hearing the announcement, Su Chen grumbled irritably, but his body was honest. Without the slightest hesitation, he pressed "Continue Simulation."

The next second, light and shadow shifted.

[Simulation resumed!] [Now playing World 2, Yu Chen's second-stage video.] [After entering the dim wooden house, Yu Chen calmly walked to the wall and lit a candlestick.] [The next instant, every candlestick in the room lit up as well, and the previously dark wooden house was instantly flooded with light.] [By the candlelight, it was clear that wooden cabinets lined every wall. The cabinets were packed with transparent glass bottles, each bearing a detailed label.] [Yu Chen walked to the long table in the center of the room, opened a drawer, and took out a clean glass bottle, placing it on the table. Then he picked up a small knife beside it and, without the slightest hesitation, sliced open his left palm! Blood immediately gushed out.] [Yu Chen clenched his fist tightly and let the blood drip into the glass bottle. Only after it had filled one-third of the bottle did he pick up some gauze and expertly bandage the wound.] [Throughout the entire process, the six-year-old child did not even furrow his brow. His composure was terrifying.] [After bandaging himself, Yu Chen walked to a stone table at the back and pulled off the black cloth covering it. A complex distillation apparatus made up of glass tubes and beakers sat silently atop the table.] [He skillfully operated the instruments and began a complicated procedure. A full two hours passed before the process finally came to an end.] [Yu Chen picked up a test tube no thicker than a finger and carefully examined it against the candlelight. It contained the blood produced by the series of procedures. Within what had originally been crimson blood, there was now a strange pale golden glimmer.] [Yu Chen then walked to a cabinet beside him and opened it. It too was filled with test tubes, each marked with a precise date.] [Yu Chen took out a test tube marked with yesterday's date and placed it beside the freshly purified blood, carefully comparing the subtle differences between them.] [At last, a hint of a smile appeared on his cold face for the first time.] ["Just as I suspected."] [After labeling the new sample and placing it in the cabinet, Yu Chen turned and sat at his desk. He opened a thick notebook, picked up his pen, and began writing:] ["Douluo Calendar, xxxx year, xx month, xx day. Today, I underwent Martial Soul awakening. As expected, my Martial Soul is a useless Martial Soul, and my Innate Soul Power is extremely weak."] ["After comparing the latest purified blood samples, I discovered that after a Martial Soul awakens, the concentration of Soul Power contained in the blood actually decreases! This proves that my previous hypothesis was correct. Martial Souls are not gifts bestowed upon Soul Masters at all—they are shackles placed upon them!"] ["After awakening, a Martial Soul instinctively filters and converts Natural Soul Power into a Soul Master's attribute-based Soul Power. This process causes immense loss of Soul Power, and the resulting Soul Power possesses only a single attribute. I shall call this Soul Power 'Bloodline Soul Power'!"] ["The reason Martial Souls differ in rank is because different Martial Souls have different efficiencies in converting 'Natural Soul Power' into 'Bloodline Soul Power.'"] ["However, Martial Soul is definitely not the only factor determining this conversion efficiency! A person's physique and spiritual power also play vital roles. This also explains why Soul Beasts differ in rank."] ["Summary:"] ["First, Soul Power is divided into 'Natural Soul Power' and 'Bloodline Soul Power.'"] ["Second, the rate at which Soul Power is absorbed and converted is jointly influenced by three factors: Martial Soul, physique, and spiritual power."] ["Third, during the process of conversion through a Martial Soul, Natural Soul Power loses some of its original attributes, becoming more singular and fixed."] [Only then did Yu Chen put down his pen.]

Dead silence.

At that moment, the entire Douluo Continent fell into a deathly hush.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the notebook's contents on the Sky Screen, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

Only after a long while did the first message finally appear in the comment section.

[Ning Fengzhi]: A genius—an unprecedented genius! If all of his conclusions are true, then the cultivation system of the entire Soul Master world may be completely overturned in the future!

Ning Fengzhi's words were like a stone thrown into a thousand ripples. In an instant, the comment section exploded.

[Meng Yiran]: Oh my god! Is he really a six-year-old child? Why does it feel like his way of thinking isn't even from the same era as ours?! [Dugu Bo]: If everything written in his notebook is true, then this old man will call him the true, undisputed theoretical Grandmaster of the Soul Master world!

Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Watching the scene on the Sky Screen, Dugu Bo showed admiration for someone else for the first time.

Martial Souls varied in strength, and even people with the same Martial Soul could cultivate at vastly different speeds. This was common knowledge that even three-year-olds across the continent understood.

Yet no one had ever seriously investigated why! What exactly determined all of this?

And now, the six-year-old Yu Chen in the video had actually found the answer!

If that did not qualify him as a theoretical Grandmaster, then who else on the entire continent deserved that title?!

Amid his admiration, a trace of regret flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes.

"What a pity! If this Yu Chen had been born in our world, how wonderful would that have been!"

He had been tormented by the poison of his Jade Phosphorous Serpent for most of his life, yet every method he had tried had proved useless.

Seeing Yu Chen's extraordinary talent on the Sky Screen, Dugu Bo could not help but wonder: if Yu Chen were in this world, would he have a way to cure the poison in his body?

[Ma Hongjun]: Um, I don't really understand. What use are all the things this Yu Chen summarized?
