Theory Proven Correct

After a moment of silence, Chen Xin finally frowned slightly and spoke slowly.

"If that is truly the case, then once this Sky Screen finishes playing, the entire continent will probably fall into chaos."

"Indeed."

Ning Fengzhi nodded.

Naturally, he understood what Chen Xin was worried about.

A brand-new cultivation system meant that ordinary people and low-level Soul Masters might find another path to becoming stronger.

If this path truly worked, then the balance that the Soul Master world had maintained for countless years would inevitably be completely shattered.

The old and new cultivation systems would certainly clash fiercely over resources, status, and more.

When that time came, the entire continent would descend into turmoil.

At this thought, Ning Fengzhi showed no concern. Instead, his eyes lit up with excitement.

"However, while this may not be good news for other factions, it could be a rare opportunity for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Our sect is mostly made up of support-type Soul Masters, and offensive methods have always been our weakness. If there truly is a cultivation method that does not rely on Martial Souls yet allows one to continuously grow stronger, its significance to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be enormous."

"If we handle this properly, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect may not be unable to take another step forward."

Hearing this, Gu Rong's eyes flickered as well. He had clearly understood Ning Fengzhi's meaning.

Meanwhile, within Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang scoffed at Yu Chen's words.

"Grandstanding!"

"Still cultivating after one's Martial Soul has shattered? Absolutely ridiculous!"

After saying that, Yu Xiaogang raised his head and sent a comment directly onto the Sky Screen.

[Yu Xiaogang]: Heh! This Yu Chen is truly ignorant. According to the theories I have summarized from my years of Martial Soul research, the Martial Soul is the foundation of a Soul Master's cultivation.

[Yu Xiaogang]: Once a Martial Soul shatters, one will either never be able to cultivate again or die on the spot. Yet he dares to make such outrageous claims about continuing to cultivate after a shattered Martial Soul. It is utterly laughable.

This time, no one unusually spoke up to refute Yu Xiaogang.

After all, even ordinary people knew the consequences of a shattered Martial Soul.

Yet in the next instant, the scene on the Sky Screen dealt Yu Xiaogang a resounding slap across the face.

[Inside the underground chamber, candlelight flickered gently.]

[Yu Kun looked at the smiling Yu Chen and felt a chill shoot from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.]

[Especially after hearing the words "shattered Martial Soul," the last trace of hope in his heart instantly vanished, and he began struggling desperately.]

[He had originally thought that if he just held on, perhaps his clansmen would discover him and rescue him from this damned place.]

[But if his Martial Soul were destroyed now, then even if he left this dungeon alive, his life would be completely ruined.]

["Tsk. It seems you can't wait any longer."]

[Seeing Yu Kun struggle frantically, Yu Chen merely chuckled.]

[He rose and walked to the wall, then suddenly yanked on the chains.]

[In the next instant, Yu Kun's hands, feet, and neck were all pulled taut by the chains, pinning him firmly against the wall and leaving him unable to move.]

[Then, Yu Chen picked up two glass bottles from a nearby cart and, without the slightest hesitation, poured their contents directly into Yu Kun's mouth.]

["This is highly concentrated juice from Purple Ganoderma Grass and Concentration Grass."]

["They can alleviate the mental shock caused by a shattered Martial Soul to the greatest extent possible, so that you do not collapse before the end."]

[As he spoke, Yu Chen raised a hand and picked up a damaged ten-year Soul Bone.]

["As for this, it is a Soul Bone I obtained at considerable cost."]

["Although its grade is not high and it is somewhat damaged, it is enough to protect your physical body."]

["Then there is this Nether Wolf Blood and Mystic Yang Fox Blood, both with extremely high Soul Power concentrations."]

["After you drink them, the yin and yang Soul Power will immediately cause your Martial Soul to become restless."]

["With the Soul-Sealing Moss juice sealing the original flow of Soul Power within your body, your Martial Soul will inevitably lose control completely."]

[By the time he finished speaking, Yu Chen poured the last of the Nether Wolf Blood and Mystic Yang Fox Blood into Yu Kun's mouth amid Yu Kun's extreme terror.]

[Three breaths later, Yu Kun's body suddenly went rigid.]

[At that moment, he felt three streams of Soul Power crazily colliding within his body, as though they were about to grind his bones, flesh, blood, and organs into pieces.]

[Very quickly, blood began to seep from Yu Kun's mouth, nose, ears, and the corners of his eyes.]

[Immediately afterward, the phantom of a Thunder Pattern Python burst uncontrollably from his body.]

[The Thunder Pattern Python phantom writhed, twisted, and struggled wildly in midair. In the next moment, its body abruptly swelled.]

["Boom!"]

[With a muffled explosion, the Thunder Pattern Python phantom shattered on the spot.]

[The violent aftershock of Soul Power swept outward, knocking Yu Chen back several steps.]

[Yu Kun, meanwhile, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his head lolling to one side as he completely lost consciousness.]

[Yu Chen immediately hurried forward.]

[He first checked Yu Kun's breathing. After confirming that Yu Kun had merely fainted from the intense pain rather than died, he finally let out a long breath.]

[Then, Yu Chen could no longer suppress the excitement on his face.]

["Next, as long as I purify his blood and test the Soul Power concentration within it, I can prove whether my theory is correct!"]

[With that thought, Yu Chen immediately began drawing blood, separating it, and purifying it.]

[Half an hour later, Yu Chen's fingers trembled slightly as he picked up the final purified blood sample and carefully compared it beneath the candlelight.]

["Hahaha... It worked!"]

["There is nothing wrong with my theory!"]

[Beneath the candlelight, the Soul Power concentration within the newly purified blood was visibly more than twice as high as before!]

[This meant that his theory was correct.]

[Even after a Martial Soul shattered, a person could still continue absorbing Soul Power and continue cultivating!]

[As for why no one had ever discovered this before, it was simply because no one had found a method to absorb Natural Soul Power.]

[Moreover, Natural Soul Power was far too mixed and violent. A slight mistake during absorption could cause one to explode and die.]

[Those were problems he would need to solve in the next stage.]

[At the very least, his core direction was not wrong!]

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang was completely stunned, muttering over and over.

"How is that possible? How is that possible?"

"This completely goes against my theory!"

Tang San, on the other hand, had bright eyes, and his breathing grew several degrees more hurried.

"So... it can be done this way!"

At that moment, he was truly tempted.

Although he had once been confident that he could cultivate step by step to become a Title Douluo with Blue Silver Grass, he now had this brand-new option: abandoning Blue Silver Grass, this useless Martial Soul. How could he not be tempted?

More importantly, Yu Chen lacked a way to absorb Natural Soul Power.

But Tang San did not!

Even before awakening his Martial Soul, he had always relied on the Mysterious Heaven Skill to absorb Soul Power and cultivate.

At that thought, Tang San could not help feeling somewhat smug.

This is practically a cultivation path tailor-made for me!

At that moment, the comments on the Sky Screen completely exploded.

[Meng Yiran]: It really can be done! Doesn't that mean that as long as a Martial Soul's quality is too poor, one can directly destroy it and cultivate anew?

[Bai Chenxiang]: If Yu Chen's theory is correct, then won't Martial Souls be practically useless in the future?

[Yu Yuanzhen]: Not necessarily.

[Yu Yuanzhen]: Shattering a Martial Soul is already a near-certain death experience. Yu Chen's success is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface. There must be many crucial details that have not been shown.

[Yu Yuanzhen]: Moreover, after a Martial Soul shatters, how does one absorb Soul Power? How does one continue cultivating? How does one wield power? These questions still need to be resolved one by one.

After sending those comments, Yu Yuanzhen fell silent.

At first, he had thought that Yu Chen was just like Yu Xiaogang, a useless man who only knew how to boast and plagiarize others' theories.

Only now did he truly understand that Yu Chen was not Yu Xiaogang, but a genuine peerless genius!

Now, he only hated that Yu Chen was not in his world.

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, Yu Chen in the Sky Screen's footage was already preparing to shatter his own Martial Soul.
