Going home
Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback, while Yu Xiaogang picked up his teacup and gathered his thoughts.
"Once Soul Beast becomes Soul Spirit, it will establish an extremely close connection with the Soul Master. Its soul and essence will henceforth depend on the Soul Master for its existence."
"This connection allows them to cooperate and grow together."
"But once Soul Master dies, their Soul Spirit loses its anchor and perishes along with it."
Bibi Dong's brows gradually furrowed.
"So, becoming Soul Spirit only allows it to live a little longer?"
"At least with the methods I currently possess, that's the case."
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly.
"If Soul Master cultivates continuously and their lifespan increases, their Soul Spirit will naturally also exist for a longer period."
"But not all Soul Master can reach the highest levels. Only by becoming a god can one exist eternally. Soul Master can also die in battle or in accidents."
"Since the Soul Spirit have retained their own consciousness, their future situation should not be ignored."
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment.
"You want to leave your Soul Spirit behind after Soul Master dies, and then hand it over to another suitable Soul Master?"
"Good."
Yu Xiaogang looked at her, his eyes now showing a hint of seriousness.
"If this can be achieved, the Soul Spirit will not have to completely disappear with the death of a Soul Master."
"It can choose a new partner to continue its training, or it can pass on the battles it has experienced and the experience it has accumulated to the next Soul Master."
"In this way, the number of Soul Spirit can gradually accumulate, and over time, Soul Master will no longer need to hunt Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring."
Bibi Dong slowly sat up straight; she had already understood the difference.
According to the original method, whenever a Soul Master needs Soul Ring, they still have to find Soul Beast willing to become Soul Spirit.
But if the Soul Spirit can be preserved, things are quite different.
A single Soul Spirit may accompany several Soul Master in succession, or even be passed down through many generations.
Over time, newcomers will no longer need to venture into the Soul Beast Forest to find new Soul Beast every time.
"This is the only way to truly reduce dependence on Soul Beast."
Bibi Dong said softly, Yu Xiaogang nodded.
"Once there are enough Soul Spirit to choose from, future Soul Master will no longer need to hunt Soul Beast as the only way to obtain Soul Ring."
"Of course, this is on the premise that we can solve the problem of how the Soul Spirit of Soul Master separates from and how it is stored after death."
At this point, he reached out and used his Soul Power to redraw the previous contract patterns.
"The connection between Soul Master and their Soul Spirit is too strong. Separating them without harming the Soul Origin is something I cannot do with my current abilities."
He dispersed the Soul Power at his fingertips and turned to look at Bibi Dong.
"However, if there were divine power, it would be much easier to improve."
Bibi Dong looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"In the end, it all comes down to me becoming a god."
"Who told Dong'er to walk in front?"
Yu Xiaogang smiled and took her hand.
Many things are extremely difficult for ordinary people to do, and it's even hard to figure out where to begin.
However, if one possesses divine power and gains a deeper understanding of the soul and its origins, one may have the opportunity to directly resolve the most intractable problems.
In Dong'er inherited the Divine Position of Silent Death, which inherently involves the power of the soul.
Once she truly becomes a god, it will be much simpler for her to return to studying the storage and recycling of Soul Spirit.
Bibi Dong nodded slightly.
"Okay, I've got that in mind."
"However, the Soul Spirit Method doesn't need to wait indefinitely; we can begin its implementation first and then gradually refine it later."
Yu Xiaogang nodded, "That's what I think too."
"The first batch of Soul Spirit will likely have several decades left from the time they form the contract to the time they accompany their Soul Master throughout their lives."
"As long as a method for recycling is found during this period, the situation can be gradually restored."
Of course, some of them may encounter accidents beforehand.
Bibi Dong said softly, "A few decades is enough for us to do many things."
Yu Xiaogang smiled and nodded, "More than enough."
Decades later, not to mention Dong'er, he and the people around him would probably have already reached the God-level.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously sensed the power within his body.
After winning the competition, the 10% Divinity reward from the system has been integrated into him, and now his Divinity has reached 40%.
In addition to absorbing the Light Dragon King Right Leg Bone during the past two days, the Martial Soul Bone Armor Avatar is only missing the last piece of Head Soul Bone to reach its complete form!
His Divinity increased, his Soul Bone were replenished, and his Soul Power broke through once again.
Level 68!
We're getting closer and closer to level 70.
Now his Martial Soul, bloodline, Soul Bone, and Divinity are gradually being perfected.
If he were to activate his Bone Armor Avatar and combine it with the Dance of Frenzied Battle, his combat power, which could be unleashed in a short period of time, would be enough to confront a level 96 Titled Douluo head-on.
What will it be like when they obtain their Seventh Soul Ring and truly possess their Martial Soul Avatar?
At the current rate of cultivation, coupled with the rewards brought by the disciples' continuous growth, there may be an opportunity to reach level 70 in a few months.
"Come on, write down all the requirements you mentioned. Let's decide on the first batch of people, how many to choose, and what needs to be prepared, today."
Yu Xiaogang took the pen, and the two sat side by side at the table, organizing the matters they had discussed earlier one by one.
The Soul Spirit Method is no ordinary Soul Skill; it involves the soul itself, so those in the first batch responsible for learning it naturally had to be extremely cautious.
Bibi Dong planned to first select from within the Spirit Hall, and then submit the list to Yu Xiaogang for review.
As for suitable Soul Master and Soul Beast for contract formation, they will also begin searching for them simultaneously.
By the time everything was arranged, the sunlight had already moved across the stone steps in the courtyard.
Yu Xiaogang put down his pen and glanced at the sky.
"I should go back too."
Bibi Dong looked at him. "Leaving tomorrow?"
"Yes, the children have been away for so long, it's time for them to go back to the academy."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, though she had known all along, she still felt a pang of reluctance.
Yu Xiaogang held her hand and said gently, "It's not like we'll never see each other again. There are still so many things to discuss Soul Spirit Method. I'll come over often from now on; at our speed, it won't take long to travel back and forth."
"You said it yourself."
"Natural arithmetic."
Bibi Dong then smiled, escorted him to the courtyard gate, and straightened his collar.
"Be careful on the road, and if anything happens, have the branch hall send a message immediately."
"Okay, don't overwork yourself."
Yu Xiaogang gave her a gentle hug before turning and leaving.
When they returned to the hotel, Xiao Wu and the others had already arrived.
"Teacher!"
Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang enter, everyone immediately looked up.
"You're back just in time! We even brought you something!"
Xiao Wu pulled a paper package from the table and handed it over with a grin.
"The pastries here are especially delicious; my brother said they were good too."
Yu Xiaogang took it and smiled, "Looks like you had a great time today."
"Of course!"
Everyone laughed and joked, and Yu Xiaogang shook his head with a smile, placing the pastries on the table.
Liu Erlong came out from the inner room and came to his side.
"Has everything been discussed and agreed upon?"
"Yes, Dong'er will arrange the manpower first, and then we'll proceed slowly."
Yu Xiaogang said, looking at everyone.
"Pack your things tonight, and we'll return to Heaven Dou City first thing tomorrow morning."
"Good!"
The group readily agreed.
They had been thinking about the competition the whole way out, but now that they had won the championship and had a great day, everyone was starting to miss the academy.
The next morning.
In front of the hotel, people carried their luggage onto the horse-drawn carriage one after another.
"Everyone's here, let's go!"
The wheels turned slowly, and everyone embarked on their journey home.
