"As I thought, absorbing the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower turned my attributes into Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Light. Even my original Soul Skills have been enhanced a lot, especially the first Soul Skill, Morning Light, the effect has increased by at least twenty percent."
Xu Yang was overjoyed. Having the Ultimate Attribute meant that he had already taken the first step into the Titled Douluo realm. All that remained was to cultivate and accumulate Soul Power.
Taking several deep breaths, Xu Yang tried his best to calm his emotions and began to meditate with his eyes closed. Although taking Immortal Herbs would not make his foundation unstable or give him a sense of floating, the sudden improvement would still make his Soul Power difficult to control.
What he had to do now was to eliminate this discomfort and make the Soul Power in his body as easy to control as an arm. If he wanted to improve his control, he could only do it through meditation and repeated cultivation.
Xu Yang had always attached great importance to the manipulation of Soul Power. He often wondered why the expressiveness of martial arts moves in the martial arts world was much stronger than the Soul Skills in this world. Later, he understood that the most important point was the manipulation of energy.
Many martial arts worlds have a characteristic about internal force, that is, it is difficult for martial arts practitioners to defeat those who have practiced external skills for many years when their internal force is shallow, but when their internal force becomes strong later, it is the other way around.
The best representative of shallow internal force is Linghu Chong, while the representative of strong internal force is Duan Yu and others.
Soul Power is also the same, the difference lies in the manipulation.
For this reason, Xu Yang temporarily divided Soul Power manipulation into four levels: Enhancement, Burst, Compression, and Micro-control.
The so-called Enhancement is like ordinary moves in the martial arts world, strengthening the Spirit, weapons, and fists and feet through the manipulation of Soul Power to improve one's attack, defense, and speed.
Burst is a more advanced martial art. The top martial arts in the martial arts world are basically in this stage. Every move can explode several times, or even dozens of times, its own power.
Compression is not simply compressing Soul Power. Simple Soul Power compression can be done by any Soul Master with preparation. What Xu Yang wants is a more refined manipulation of Soul Power, making his own Soul Power of higher quality and more rapid manipulation.
As for Micro-control, it is the manipulation of Soul Power from macro to micro.
The latter two realms require one's own spirit, will, and realm to be raised to a certain level before they can be used freely. Compression requires at least reaching the Soul Elder realm, and Micro-control is even more difficult. It is estimated that it cannot be achieved without reaching the Soul Saint realm.
The five Soul Skills that Xu Yang planned, except for 'Morning Light', are all functional and helpful for Soul Power manipulation. In particular, the Soul Skill Shaping brought by the Sun Sacred Beetle contains two Soul Power manipulation techniques: Enhancement and Compression.
Practicing with all his strength every day, Xu Yang also spent three days to eliminate that uncomfortable feeling, reaching the level before eating the Immortal Herb, and completely consolidated his cultivation.
After consolidating his cultivation, Xu Yang went non-stop to Madam Ning to ask her to help him hunt for the third Soul Ring. Ning Fengzhi had consolidated his cultivation as early as a day ago, and set off with Ning Haiyan and Sword Douluo Chen Xin towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Master's Wife, I have consolidated my cultivation, let's go hunt for Soul Rings!"
Before he arrived, his voice arrived first. Xu Yang was not the kind of person who easily suppressed his own level of cultivation. After all, the difference between Soul Elder cultivation and Great Soul Master cultivation was there. Advancing earlier could widen the gap a lot.
"Then Bone Uncle, Rongrong is entrusted to you!" Hearing the voice, Madam Ning smiled helplessly, walked to Gu Rong who was drinking tea, and handed Ning Rongrong in her arms over.
"Don't worry! It's no problem for me to take care of Rongrong. You quickly take that stinky boy to hunt for Soul Rings. I think he can't wait!" Gu Rong took Ning Rongrong with a smile, waving his hand as if to drive people away.
Madam Ning rolled her eyes helplessly, got up and walked outside.
"Yang Er, let's go!"
Madam Ning didn't waste any words, grabbed Xu Yang's hand and walked out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After these three days, Ning Fengzhi and others also determined the absorption limit of Xu Yang's third Soul Ring through Soul Power pressure.
Absorb anything below ten thousand years!
The extremely yang and strong medicinal power of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower not only evolved the Sun Spirit into an Ultimate Spirit, but also strengthened his whole body from the inside out. The effect was even more amazing than the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, making Xu Yang's endurance reach an astonishing level.
If it weren't for worrying about not being able to withstand the mental impact of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Ning Fengzhi would have arranged for Xu Yang to absorb the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Major Sect forces generally do not allow their true disciples to take risks. Moreover, Xu Yang's age and Soul Power are there, and he is not suitable for the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring at all. Xu Yang himself agreed with this point.
He didn't want to ruin himself, it would be a loss.
However, the fourth Soul Ring must be a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, otherwise it would be a waste of this Soul Ring configuration, wouldn't it?!
The Sunset Forest was not far from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. With a Soul Douluo's speed, it wouldn't take long at all. It only took five hours, and if it weren't for considering Xu Yang, Madam Ning could have cut that time by more than half.
"Yang Er, do you remember the location of the Sun Flower Field?" Walking through the forest, Madam Ning asked casually.
"I remember!"
"Then you lead the way!"
Xu Yang nodded and took the lead, heading towards the Sun Flower Field. Having been there twice already, he was quite familiar with the route. As for the Soul Beasts within the forest, with Madam Ning, a Soul Douluo, present, they didn't dare approach at all.
As soon as Xu Yang approached the vicinity of the Sun Flower Field, the entire Sun Flower Field began to shake. The Sun Flower King, located in the center, instantly遁入地下 (escaped into the ground), and then hundreds and thousands of Soul Beasts that cultivated with the help of the Sun Flowers fled in all directions.
The Sun Flowers were already familiar with Xu Yang's aura. After two forced extractions, they had developed a conditioned reflex.
"This..." Seeing this scene, Xu Yang was also a little dumbfounded.
Fortunately, their target was only the Sun Sacred Beetle. They only needed to keep an eye on the few flying Sacred Beetles in the air. Madam Ning, as a Soul Douluo powerhouse, no longer needed to judge the age of Soul Beasts through their characteristics, but rather through Soul Power pressure.
With just a scan of her gaze, Madam Ning discovered a Sun Sacred Beetle with a body size of two meters and horns on its head like sharp swords. In her perception, the Soul Power of this Soul Beast was already purple with a hint of black, infinitely close to a ten thousand year Soul Beast.
"It's you!"
Madam Ning smiled, and a slender rapier with a blue gem at the hilt appeared in her hand. The rapier was less than a finger's width, and eight Soul Rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, flickered beneath her feet. As the third Soul Ring lit up, she instantly disappeared from the spot.
"So fast!"
Xu Yang couldn't see how Madam Ning disappeared at all. He just felt a blur before his eyes, and Madam Ning appeared above the Sun Sacred Beetle. Her slender, beautiful leg kicked out, directly stepping on the Sun Sacred Beetle's hard carapace.
