Tang Lan raised his hand, summoning his Blue Silver Emperor soul. Five soul rings blossomed with light, converging on the third.
Below,
A vast expanse of Blue Silver Emperors burst from the earth, each as thick as an adult's waist, resembling small trees, covering a diameter of 500 meters!
From a distance, it looked like a small forest.
But Zhu Zhuqing, who knew the terror of Tang Lan's third soul skill, widened her eyes in disbelief!
In the past,
Tang Lan's Life Burial skill only covered a few dozen meters.
That was already incredibly overpowered.
This thing is 500 meters long.
And it's freaking huge and there are so many of them!
Zhu Zhuqing admitted to herself that facing this move, she could only wait to die – there was no escape!
"Hoo--" Tang Lan exhaled deeply, "It drained half of my internal energy. Is this all the power it has?"
Looking at him, he seemed a bit dissatisfied.
"Xiao Lan, don't be too harsh on yourself," Chen Xin said, speechless, "That strike just now is comparable to a full-power attack from a six-ring Soul Emperor. With the special abilities of your martial soul, even a seven-ring Soul Saint would find it difficult to break free in a short time."
So strong?
Zhu Zhuqing's face twitched. How was the distance between her and him getting farther and farther?
"It can still be strengthened," Tang Lan wasn't satisfied, "If I activate the Blue Silver Domain, its power can double."
"What about the cost?" Chen Xin reminded him, "Without the support of soul power, or internal energy, this soul skill will immediately dissipate."
Tang Lan gave a mysterious smile.
Consumption?
The Blue Silver Emperor soul, can absorb; the Heart of the Soul, can replenish; and the soul bone skill reset can also rewind!
No problem.
But Tang Lan still humbly said, "We're just discussing the maximum burst, you know. The power of that Life Burial's instantaneous compression is also very strong."
Chen Xin didn't speak again.
Tang Lan wasn't foolish. A reminder was enough.
Taking advantage of this opportunity.
Tang Lan turned around and taught Zhu Zhuqing how to merge rings.
This thing, in the past, was indeed difficult to learn.
Because of the convenience of soul skills,
few people deliberately train their control over soul power.
But Zhu Zhuqing practiced Lingbo Weibu. She controlled her internal energy every day to coordinate with the footwork, so her control naturally improved.
As for the quality of her martial soul?
The Ghost Cat could become a god; how could it be inferior to Huo Wu's Fire Shadow?
Moreover,
wasn't Tang Lan here?
Letting Tang Lan enter her body and guiding her through it a few more times.
Practice makes perfect.
And so, she mastered this fusion ring technique.
Chen Xin watched in admiration.
He was a freak of nature himself, and he could teach others.
This Tang Sect would be impossible not to rise! "It's quite simple," Tang Lan said with ease. "Uncle Jian, Rongrong knows this move, right? I'll have her teach Xiao San and the others."
Unexpectedly, Chen Xin turned around and gave Tang Lan a strange look.
"Do you think everyone is like you, a freak?"
"Fusing rings is generally attempted after reaching the third Soul Ring level."
"Rongrong hasn't had a chance to learn it yet."
Ah, this...
Tang Lan blinked, was it really that difficult?
"Is it difficult?" Tang Lan looked at Zhu Zhuqing, "What do you think?"
Zhu Zhuqing: "…"
What to do about a man who's a freak of nature but doesn't realize it?
She wasn't good with words.
She simply said directly, "It's very difficult. If I hadn't cultivated Lingbo Weibu, it would have been almost impossible for me to master. This fusion of rings purely depends on talent."
Huh? Is it really that difficult? Tang Lan scratched his head.
He really didn't think it was that hard. "Rongrong and the others are either learning the Nine Yang Divine Skill or Lingbo Weibu, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Let them study it themselves first."
Tang Lan took out his communication Soul Tool and sent Ning Rongrong a text message.
Chen Xin didn't stop him either.
Closing his eyes, Tang Lan cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill and underwent Muscle Changing and Marrow Cleansing, while simultaneously increasing his speed on the journey.
Zhu Zhuqing wasn't idle either.
She brought up numerous accumulated cultivation questions, seeking Tang Lan's guidance.
These weren't just about the techniques, but also about many issues concerning Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.
Tang Lan answered them all with ease.
His head is just packed with knowledge.
Later.
Chen Xin became interested and casually posed a few questions as well.
Like—
If one is stuck at a bottleneck in their cultivation, how can they break through?
Generally speaking, there are only two ways: a life-or-death experience, or a stroke of luck.
Now, there's also Tang Lan's Nine Yang Divine Skill, and the Muscle Changing and Marrow Cleansing that comes with it, which have the effect of breaking through bottlenecks.
But…
"Zhu Zhuqing, tell me, why do you think people get stuck at certain levels?" Tang Lan asked, turning the tables.
It seemed like he was about to give a lesson.
Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback.
She hadn't expected Tang Lan to ask her.
After a moment's thought, she said—
"Being stuck at a level, according to the common way of saying it, means you've reached your limit."
"Spirit power, physique, and martial soul quality can all be bottlenecks?"
Zhu Zhuqing's answer was concise.
But Tang Lan shook his head.
He looked at Chen Xin.
"And also, comprehension."
Chen Xin looked up at the sky and said—
"My soul power has long been sufficient, but my understanding of swordsmanship is lacking. I can't break through level 97."
"So, if the Nine Yang Divine Skill and Muscle Changing and Marrow Cleansing can truly help me break through, it will really attract some old geezers who are just waiting to die."
Zhu Zhuqing listened, understanding only partially.
She wasn't at that level, so she couldn't understand the concept of "realm."
Tang Lan, however, shook his head.
"Sword Uncle, Zhu Zhuqing, you're both overthinking it."
"Besides reaching the hundredth rank to become a god, which requires faith or a divine position,"
"The only two possible bottlenecks below the hundredth rank are—the strength of the soul and the body."
Huh?
This explanation made Chen Xin turn his head, looking at Tang Lan with confusion.
"Didn't you hear a word I just said?"
Tang Lan wasn't fazed in the slightest.
He asked with a smile, "Uncle Sword, do you know about the God Tests?"
Chen Xin shook his head.
Tang Lan wasn't surprised.
The existence of Sea God Island was sealed off by the Spirit Hall.
The other gods, such as the Rāksasa God, Angel God, and Asura God, were also not openly known.
It was normal for Chen Xin to have never heard of them.
"The so-called God's Trials are the tests set by a god when passing down a divine position."
"But a god certainly can't do everything personally."
"Therefore, besides the God's Trials, there will be ordinary assessments to select superior believers to help find a successor."
"Like the Sea God Island overseas, Sword Uncle, you might not be able to obtain the Sea God's Nine Trials, but getting the Sea God's Fifth or Sixth Trial is still possible."
"And after completing the trials, the Sea God will bestow rewards, such as a divine bestowed soul ring or a level increase."
"What bottlenecks? They vanish under divine bestowal."
"What does this have to do with comprehension?"
Chen Xin was speechless.
This touched on something he didn't know, a true blind spot in his knowledge, and he had no idea how to answer.
Tang Lan didn't mind and continued,
"So I've concluded that the bottleneck below the hundredth rank is a problem of the soul and the body."
"As for inherent defects in the martial soul, that's just the result, not the cause."
"The fundamental reason is that the body or soul itself is too weak to contain the emergence of a high-level martial soul. It has to degenerate to protect its owner, causing the martial soul to suffer malnutrition."
"It's like what happens when you absorb a soul ring beyond your limit; you'll explode and die."
"If you can make up for the defects, the martial soul can also evolve again."
"For example, the Golden Triangle of Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong."
"It's about using the souls, soul power, and physique of three people to compensate for the flaws in Yu Xiaogang's martial soul, thus creating the Golden Holy Dragon."
"My martial soul, the Blue Silver Emperor, has also evolved three times."
