"So you developed this insane theory based on this toxin? And you're even planning to put it into practice?"
After hearing Oscar explain his theories in detail, Poison Douluo was utterly speechless.
Even though he was known for his eccentric and violent nature, he was quite taken aback by such a crazy theory.
In his view, this theory is simply playing with fire, and with a success rate that is infinitely close to zero.
"Young man, this kind of idea is not new in history. Many predecessors have had similar thoughts and put them into action, but everyone who tried it suffered either the collapse of their Martial Soul or damage to their very essence, resulting in their cultivation never making any progress in their lifetime."
One of the Titled Douluo who came with Qian Renxue shook his head slightly, even revealing a hint of disdain in his words.
They thought it was some groundbreaking theory, but it turned out to be something like this.
" Elder Xun, please calm down. Since young Oscar is so confident, he must have a great deal of assurance. Let's give it a try."
Even if we fail, there won't be much of a loss, right?
Qian Renxue, however, looked at Oscar with great interest. This kind of theory had actually been developed by the Spirit Hall long ago, and as far as she knew, her mother Bibi Dong, was the first to succeed.
Moreover, this theory has been widely applied in practice, with many experts in the Spirit Hall who believe they have good potential choosing to start over.
However, this theory is limited to the Spirit Hall and has not yet been leaked to the outside world.
I never expected that Oscar, whose Martial Soul was destroyed, would actually be able to research this.
That makes sense, though. This guy was a talent valued by that Grandmaster, so it's not surprising that he achieved such results.
"I'd like to see just how far you, someone valued by Grandmaster, can go!"
Qian Renxue muttered to herself, deciding to take a good look at this kid.
"Your Highness, Your Majesties, since I have proposed this theory, I am naturally confident in its success. Although I cannot guarantee 100% success, with your full assistance, we can at least increase the chances to 90%."
At this moment, Oscar cast aside all his concerns and focused solely on successfully developing this theory.
With the full support of the Heaven Dou Empire, his research progress would surely be greatly accelerated.
"Since you are so confident, then I will give you a chance."
Before I came here, I had already ordered the death row inmates from the capital to be transported here. These people are all criminals who have committed heinous crimes and are villains who deserve to die a hundred times over.
You can use them freely for initial experiments. Only after collecting enough data and increasing the success rate to 100% can you try them on Yanzi and others.
Qian Renxue coldly revealed the preparations she had made long ago.
Every new theory requires the sacrifice of many lives to succeed, unless a genius of the Heaven-Defying Level, like Grandmaster, emerges.
Even so, the Spirit Hall has lost many lives because of this.
Although Oscar was valued by that Grandmaster, he was still too young and just a novice. To truly perfect a brand-new theory, especially one as crazy and dangerous as this, the number of lives that would be sacrificed would be considerable.
"Did those people really deserve to die?"
Oscar was startled by Qian Renxue's ruthless and cold-blooded demeanor, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Although he didn't know how many death row inmates were in Heaven Dou City, he was certain that the number was not high. Given the madness and danger of his theory, he could imagine that many people would inevitably die next.
Although he had previously been prepared to dedicate everything to this theory, it now seems that his commitment was still somewhat lacking.
"I will have someone hand over to you the established charges against those people; you can handle it as you see fit."
Qian Renxue gave Oscar a deep look, then turned to Elder Xun beside her and said, " Yanzi and the others are all at the Soul King level. There aren't many criminals of this level in prison."
Afterwards, I will send troops to wipe out those human trafficking dens. I'll trouble Elder Xun to lead a team to follow up, as those dens involve quite a few powerful forces."
Although there are many death row inmates in the capital's prison, there are very few death row inmates with high cultivation levels, especially those at the Soul King level.
Dugu Yan and the other three are all Soul King level cultivators, so they need enough experimental materials of the same level to ensure success.
However, these are all minor matters. As long as that theory succeeds, she can openly apply it to her forces and cultivate a core group to prepare for future plans.
Am I really doing the right thing?
After Qian Renxue and the others left, Oscar muttered to himself in confusion, as Qian Renxue's subsequent words had a profound impact on him.
Is this still the same Heaven Dou Crown Prince, known for his benevolence and righteousness?
I feel like this difference is a bit too much!
" Little Ao, this world is countless times darker than you can imagine, especially for the weak."
Come on, today your older sister will take you to the Luolun Grand Auction House. If you see anything you like, just bid on it; Yu Feng, this rich tycoon, will foot the bill."
Dugu Yan smiled and beckoned Oscar to follow. Yu Tianheng and the others behind him shook their heads helplessly and followed as well.
The Luolun Grand Auction House is one of the few top-tier auction houses in Heaven Dou City, with countless powerful forces behind it and an incredibly powerful background.
Although the Luolun Auction House is one of the most powerful forces in Heaven Dou City, it is also one of the most corrupt, with its dark and sordid activities being shocking.
For example, in the classic case of human trafficking, some high-quality resources obtained by human traffickers are taken there for auction.
That place offers the most direct glimpse into the darkness of the world, and this experience should be enough to dispel the last vestiges of confusion in Oscar's heart.
It must be said that Dugu Yan's method was very effective. When Oscar walked out of the Luolun Auction House at night, Oscar expression was extremely gloomy, and his eyes held an uncontrollable chilling murderous intent.
He had just experienced far too much in that extremely luxurious auction house, learning for the first time that humans could be bought and sold as commodities, and that countless women were trained as puppets to provide amusement for others.
In a rather coincidental way, he had just seen Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whom he had previously considered his father-in-law, inside.
Judging from the other party's appearance, they were clearly a regular customer of the Luolun Grand Auction House. In fact, according to Dugu Yan's subtle hints, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was one of the backers of the Luolun Grand Auction House.
This is not hard to understand. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School is a treasure-type Martial Soul, which has a special sensitivity to treasures. This is also the greatest source of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's accumulated wealth.
In the Douluo Continent, the top auction houses naturally have the largest volume of treasures. As long as there are treasures up for auction and they are useful to them, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will do everything in its power to acquire them.
Regardless of the reason, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was involved in these shady dealings and fostered the growth of those dark forces. It is no exaggeration to say that they aided and abetted evil.
However, this is also the norm for various forces in the Douluo Continent. As a combination of interests, no aristocratic families, sects, noble families, or wealthy families are clean, and they all do a lot of dirty things behind the scenes.
Today's events, especially the appearance of Ning Fengzhi, shattered the last vestiges of naivety and confusion in Oscar's heart, making his mind suddenly incredibly clear and his temperament much more decisive.
Upon returning, Oscar decisively threw himself into researching and even experimenting with his own theories, using the death row inmates sent by Qian Renxue as his test subjects.
After reviewing the charges and evidence against the death row inmates, Oscar was utterly ruthless and far more radical than Qian Renxue and the others had imagined.
Instead of conducting trials one by one, they carried out the experiments in batches in a crude and indiscriminate manner.
The core of Oscar's theory is the strange energy that Dieying's father used to self-destruct that day. That energy is extremely corrosive, and his Martial Soul sausage was corroded by this energy.
However, it was a blessing in disguise, as his experience that day led him to an astonishing discovery.
When he was attacked that day, he instinctively activated his Martial Soul and displayed his Soul Ring. Therefore, the corrosive energy that erupted first corroded and melted the outermost Soul Ring, then his Sausage Martial Soul, and finally his body's meridians and even his lifespan.
Since this corrosive energy erodes in stages, does that mean that as long as the amount is controlled, it can only erode the Soul Ring without affecting the Martial Soul itself?
Fortunately, a trace of that energy was trapped within his body, and this energy seemed to be able to grow continuously by absorbing Soul Power.
Originally, he intended to study this energy to see if he could find a chance to restore himself, so he did not completely eliminate that trace of energy.
Clearly, he hasn't achieved anything in this area, but he has come up with that crazy idea now.
Therefore, the core of this insane theory is that corrosive energy.
Of course, the most crucial factor is the Body Refinement technique secretly bestowed upon him by his cheap teacher. With the support of this Body Refinement, the impact and trauma to the Martial Soul and Soul Master's body when the Soul Ring dissolves can be minimized.
It seemed simple, but Oscar only realized the difficulty when he actually put it into practice.
Fortunately, there were a large number of death row inmates as test subjects, and many difficulties were overcome by sacrificing a large number of death row inmates, making the experiment progress quite encouraging.
Three days later, after killing or maiming more than 100,000 death row inmates, Oscar finally perfected his theory and increased the success rate to over 95%.
Although it didn't reach 100%, this is the best we can do for now.
Because their time was running out and the finals were approaching, he needed to quickly dissolve the existing Soul Ring of Yu Tianheng and the others.
Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng and the others had to hunt and absorb new Soul Ring, adapt to the new Spirit Ring Skill, and then undergo special training prepared by Oscar for everyone.
All of this takes a considerable amount of time. It can be said that everyone's schedule is packed, and even their sleep and rest time is greatly compressed.
Fortunately, these people were lucky and did not encounter the 5% mortality or disability rate; they all safely dissolved their existing Soul Ring.
"If possible, I hope you can absorb the new Soul Ring according to this plan I have outlined."
Oscar handed over several drafts of his Soul Split ring plan, which he had written in his spare time over the past few days, to Dugu Yan and the others. These were related to his final plan and could not be taken lightly.
"Is it because of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Flipping through her own planning document, and then glancing at her boyfriend Yu Tianheng's planning document beside her, Dugu Yan seemed lost in thought.
