Ye Chen Only Mentioned Soul Cores, So How Did Qian Daoliu Figure It Out?

Just as Yu Xiaogang began to have doubts, the crusade in the livestream chat began once again.

[Xu Xiaoyan: Theory Master, do you even know what a Soul Core is?]

Yu Xiaogang: "??"

Why again?

[Ning Rongrong: Yes, Master, what exactly is a Soul Core? Hurry up and explain it to us.]

Ning Rongrong could not help laughing as she said this.

Mocking Yu Xiaogang was secondary. She genuinely wanted to know what a Soul Core was as well.

[Yu Xiaogang: Of course I know.]

[Tang San: Then Master, hurry up and tell us.]

Tang San immediately gave his master an opening.

By now, he had already guessed that the master in the livestream chat was probably his own teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

But this time, Tang San's goodwill was met with Yu Xiaogang's cold shoulder.

How could Gangzi possibly know what a Soul Core was? He was only putting on a brave front!

At that moment, Gangzi glared furiously at Tang San's message.

"No, who is this now? Are all of you just waiting to laugh at me?"

Gangzi pulled out his notebook and, without hesitation, wrote down Tang San's livestream ID.

Everyone recorded in that notebook was an enemy who had mocked Gangzi.

[Ning Rongrong: That's right, Master. Hurry up and explain.]

Faced with everyone's repeated urging, Yu Xiaogang could only start making things up on the spot.

[Yu Xiaogang: A Soul Core is the Soul Power Core.]

Yu Xiaogang forced out an explanation.

The moment he said that, the Titled Douluo of the Dragon King Era were all taken aback.

"Wait, he actually knows? Could he really be a Titled Douluo?"

But not everyone was so easy to fool.

[Yun Ming: And then?]

Yu Xiaogang: ??

"And then? There's more? How would I know?"

Forget Gangzi—even the several peerless Douluo during the Spirit Hall Era ten thousand years ago were utterly bewildered at this moment.

"Soul Core?" Qian Daoliu had never heard of any Soul Master possessing a Soul Core.

Whether it was Qian Daoliu, invincible in the skies, Bo Saixi, invincible at sea, or Bibi Dong with her Twin Martial Souls—

Even they did not know what a Soul Core was, so how could Gangzi possibly know?

And while Gangzi was lost in thought, mockery had already flooded the livestream chat.

[Xu Xiaoyan: He hasn't replied for so long. He definitely doesn't know what a Soul Core is.]

[Ning Rongrong: Exactly.]

[Cai Yue'er: He doesn't even know about Soul Cores, yet he's here misleading others.]

[Long Yeyue: I told you he was a clown.]

[Yun Ming: If you ask me, his Titled Douluo cultivation is probably just something he made up.]

[Ya Li: If he doesn't even know about Soul Cores, how could he possibly be a Titled Douluo?]

Yu Xiaogang silently watched this unfold, snapping the pen in his hand in half.

"Just wait. Once I find out who you are, I'll destroy you at any cost!"

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong asked the question that every Soul Master of the Spirit Hall Era was curious about.

"Soul Core? What is that?"

Ye Chen sorted through his thoughts before answering.

"A Soul Core is the Soul Power Core."

Hearing this, Gangzi stood up again and immediately retorted in the livestream chat.

[Yu Xiaogang: See? I told you I was right. A Soul Core is the Soul Power Core.]

[Yun Ming: No one said you were wrong. I'm asking, and then what?]

Yu Xiaogang: ...

"Who the hell is this guy? Why does he keep undermining me?"

[Yu Xiaogang: Do you know, then? Do you have a Soul Core? Why are you the one asking?]

The moment Yun Ming saw that, he found it rather amusing. If even he did not have a Soul Core, then who on the Douluo Continent could?

[Yun Ming: Of course I've already condensed a Soul Core. Don't tell me you don't have one?]

[Yu Xiaogang: Of course I have one too! I just don't want to explain it to trash like you!]

[Xu Xiaoyan: 666]

[Ning Rongrong: 666]

On the other side, Ye Chen continued his introduction.

"For this era, a Soul Core is the fundamental threshold for a Soul Master to break through to Titled Douluo."

"When ordinary Soul Masters cultivate, their Soul Power is in a liquid state. Once they reach the peak of Soul Douluo and their Soul Power is sufficiently abundant, they can continuously compress it, refining liquid Soul Power into a solid state. That solid energy core is called a Soul Core."

"A Soul Core resides in the dantian. As it continuously rotates on its own, it can absorb the primal energy of heaven and earth at all times, converting it into Soul Power to sustain its owner."

"After condensing a Soul Core, Soul Power recovers dozens of times faster than through ordinary meditation, while endurance and explosive power undergo a complete qualitative transformation."

After a brief moment of thought, Bibi Dong raised a crucial question.

"What happens if one's Soul Power reaches Titled Douluo without condensing a Soul Core?"

After briefly considering it, Ye Chen answered.

"Once Soul Power reaches the Titled Douluo level and begins transforming into a solid state, without a Soul Core, it can only be stored in the meridians, creating an enormous bottleneck."

"The volume of Soul Power possessed by a Titled Douluo is too great, while the meridians have limited capacity. This drastically slows cultivation speed."

"This is also why there were so few Limit Douluo ten thousand years ago."

Ten thousand years ago, every Titled Douluo who heard this became alert.

No wonder their cultivation had progressed so slowly. It turned out that they lacked Soul Cores.

At that moment, within Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu entered a subtle state.

"Soul Core? Soul Core?" He repeated the words over and over.

It was as though he had received some kind of inspiration!

"Big Brother, do you know what a Soul Core is now?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked from beside Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu did not reply. He slowly closed his eyes and gathered the liquid Soul Power throughout his meridians toward his dantian.

At that moment, a layer of sacred light erupted from Qian Daoliu's body. The phantom of a Seraphim appeared behind him, and he was filled with majesty.

Using his spiritual power as a guide, he made his Soul Power spin at high speed, forming a massive Soul Power vortex as the rudimentary form of a Soul Core gradually took shape.

Vast amounts of Soul Power were continuously compressed inward. The vortex spun faster and faster, until the surrounding space itself began to distort.

Fine black spatial cracks continuously appeared, only to be devoured and absorbed by that mass of rotating Soul Power.

The solid Soul Power continued accelerating, twisting all the surrounding space beyond recognition.

Until the solid Soul Power, which had been spinning at tremendous speed, actually came to a stop, shifting from ultimate motion to ultimate stillness.

The next instant, space suddenly collapsed. Everything seemed to contract toward his body as its center, then recombined in an instant.

The light receded, and a solid crystal that slowly rotated on its own took shape. Guided by his spiritual power, it sank into the location of his dantian.

The Soul Core was complete!

"Big Brother, you succeeded?" Golden Crocodile Douluo was overjoyed as he witnessed this. Ye Chen had merely described the concept of a Soul Core, yet Qian Daoliu had completed the process of condensing one on his own.

Qian Daoliu recorded his insights from condensing the Soul Core and handed them to Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Take this to the priests of the Worship Hall. Have them all condense Soul Cores."

With Soul Cores, perhaps Spirit Hall's strength could rise even further!

After condensing his Soul Core, Qian Daoliu could not help thinking of his old rival, Tang Chen.

"Without a Soul Core or a God Exam, you still cultivated to become a Limit Douluo. No wonder Bo Saixi was so devoted to you."

"However, since I could not defeat you, my granddaughter will take my place and defeat your descendant."
