Nangong Lingyun didn't disappoint Tang San's expectations.
With Tang San's face full of anticipation, Nangong Lingyun suddenly chuckled, then shook his head lightly at Liu Erlong.
"Many people instinctively think that way. They believe that after breaking through to Title Douluo, they can cultivate another Martial Soul. Even if a single soul ring only increases one level of soul power, they can directly become a Level 99 Ultimate Douluo.
Furthermore, the second Martial Soul will possess top-tier soul rings, all with over seventy thousand years of strength, and even a hundred thousand year soul ring.
A whole row of black and red rings… what a beautiful thing that would be! Just thinking about it is exciting.
Unfortunately, before becoming a God, the total lifespan of the soul rings the human body can withstand isn't limitless. If you really did that, you probably wouldn't even know how you died in the end."
"My words might not be persuasive, but Nangong Lingyun from the neighboring academy…"
He possesses the most top-tier innate Martial Soul. The limits he can endure are far beyond those of ordinary Soul Masters. Furthermore, he has strong protectors and instructors. Seeing a genius of that caliber choose to cultivate two Martial Souls simultaneously speaks volumes."
Nangong Lingyun added silently in his heart: But if one can pass the God's trials and use divine power to refine the body, cultivate body-tempering and mental cultivation techniques, consume immortal herbs and other treasures that increase physical constitution, and equip oneself with a full set of soul bones, the ultimate limit can be significantly raised.
Forget about nine seventy-thousand-year soul rings; even nine hundred-thousand-year or million-year soul rings would be no problem at all.
As he finished speaking, Liu Erlong immediately understood,
"I heard that someone with a dual Martial Soul exploded and died before. Was it because he exceeded the soul ring limit?"
"It's hard to say for sure, as I didn't witness it myself, but it's highly probable."
Listening to their conversation,
Tang San's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled completely. It was exactly the same as Yu Xiaogang's explanation, so he was basically certain that there wouldn't be any major issues.
At the same time, a flicker of surprise ran through his heart.
It was actually true. That good-for-nothing had really gotten the dual Martial Soul cultivation method from the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and it wasn't a fake.
No wonder Tang Hao had advised him not to offend Yu Xiaogang too much at that time. It seemed this guy wasn't completely useless.
His thoughts shifted, and Tang San quickly followed up with a question:
"What happens after becoming a God?"
He pretended to be merely curious, but holding the Ascension Trial in his hand, a topic that was out of reach for ordinary people and only served as a conversation starter, he was actually extremely concerned and nervous.
Nangong Lingyun smiled slightly,
"In theory, becoming a God can indeed significantly increase the limit of spirit rings, even a million-year spirit ring is not impossible.
But once you become a God, no matter how strong your spirit rings and spirit skills are, they become useless.
The original ordinary body will transform into a divine body, the soul will transform into a divine soul, and spirit power and Martial Soul will also undergo a tremendous transformation, becoming divine power and divine artifacts."
Gods also possess Divine Sparks and Divine Rings, allowing them to create their own Divine Skills based on the laws their Divine Spark embodies.
Simply put, a Soul Master can only passively use Soul Ring and Soul Bone skills, knowing how to use them but not understanding the underlying principles. They cannot change these skills, nor can they extrapolate from them.
However, Gods understand the fundamental logic and principles of all skills from the root, allowing them to release countless powerful skills at will without needing the Soul Ring as a medium.
Their strength solely depends on their comprehension of the laws; they no longer need external assistance."
"I see."
Tang San completely relaxed, and his last shred of worry vanished.
As long as it doesn't affect his ascension to Godhood, that's all that matters. Even if the Clear Sky Hammer's potential is diminished, or the Blue Silver Emperor's life attribute is crippled, he wouldn't need to be so cautious or overly concerned with every detail.
This is just a temporary transition.
Bing Qing Yujie was secretly excited when Nangong Lingyun suddenly turned stern. "Tang San, you're not being honest, are you?"
"Wha...what's wrong?"
Tang San's face flashed with panic, but he quickly regained his composure, feigning confusion.
"Your second Martial Soul should be the Clear Sky Hammer, right? Powerful strength attributes, carrying a hint of destruction, and also possessing explosive characteristics. Not only are you from the Clear Sky Sect, but you're also a direct descendant of the first sect master, Tang Chen's line. I can't be mistaken.
Remember, a month ago, you asked several questions about the Clear Sky Hammer. Why didn't you tell the truth then?
What's this, trying to get information out of me?"
So that was it. A hint of indifference flashed in Tang San's eyes, and he quickly smiled apologetically.
"Brother Feng, I didn't know how strong you were at the time, did I? Please, with your generosity, forgive me this time."
"Besides, haven't I been completely honest with you now?"
"Hmph, don't let it happen again."
Seeing Qin Feng leave with his chest puffed out, like a proud peacock, Tang San also promptly took his leave from Liu Erlong.
Not long after returning to the dormitory, he found Yu Xiaogang and the rat, and rented a carriage to head straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.
On the way, Tang San silently pondered what development path the Clear Sky Hammer should take.
He trusted no one now. He hadn't even asked Qin Feng about this question. Including Tang Hao and Tang Chen, they weren't worth emulating in the slightest.
The only reference answer was the four clones who cultivated the Clear Sky Hammer in the Ascension Trial.
[Clone Six]: Took a balanced route, equivalent to a perfect, enhanced version of Tang Chen.
The nine soul rings each add skills like defense, attack, speed, agility, spirit, and strength to the Martial Soul, and they also enhance the soul master's abilities in those areas.
The overall strength is the greatest.
[Clone Seven]: This one takes the ultimate burst damage route, like a perfectly developed, enhanced version of Tang Hao.
Simple and brutal, all nine soul rings focus on amplification.
It has the strongest burst power, and as soon as it breaks through to Title Douluo rank, it can beat the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
However, it's too specialized and extremely vulnerable to being targeted. If it can't kill the enemy, it's toast.
It also needs a full set of soul bones; otherwise, once the burst power exceeds the body's tolerance, it becomes a big firework.
[Clone Eight]: Absolute strength type.
It focuses on evolving the quality of the Martial Soul. All nine soul rings are attached with power-type soul beasts, perfectly matching the Clear Sky Hammer's main attributes.
[Clone Nine]: Defect-compensating type.
This one also evolves the Martial Soul's quality, but in a completely different way.
Add new attributes to the Clear Sky Hammer, such as fire, lightning, ice, or even evil.
This clone, like the one that developed the Blue Silver Grass's characteristics, is equivalent to countless others.
Because Tang San can arbitrarily define which attributes the opponent uses, except for some that are obviously mismatched.
The Clear Sky Hammer's ability is too singular; once it encounters a powerful control system, it will immediately be at a disadvantage. New attributes can greatly compensate for this.
The explosion of fire and the erosion of evil can increase double and continuous damage. The paralysis of lightning and the freezing of ice can effectively control the opponent.
Taking Raging Wind as an example, the eighty-one hammer strikes have the greatest cumulative power. However, in actual combat, the opponent won't just sit there and wait for you to accumulate to the eighty-first strike.
No matter how strong the attack is, it's useless if you can't hit the target.
If, simultaneously with each attack, you can use lightning to paralyze the body or use ice to freeze the opponent, this problem can be perfectly solved.
Because Qin Feng had said before that Martial Soul quality was a crucial foundation for the advancement of Super Douluo and Limit Douluo cultivators,
Tang San had already decided to choose one between Clone Eight and Clone Nine.
However, he hadn't yet decided which path to take.
