Chapter 49: The Principle of Unleashing Soul Rings and Soul Skills
While contemplating the future evolution of his cudgel technique, Sun Qi also engaged in practical application.
He possessed seven true forms. While Sun Qi, the Golden Cudgel, was currently meditating, one and a half of the other six forms were currently practicing cudgel techniques: the Stone Monkey form and Little Sun.
The Golden Cudgel form provided the ideas and thoughts, considering the various details of the cudgel technique, while the Stone Monkey form was responsible for rehearsing and translating the techniques into concrete actions.
"Actually, what I need to master is the essential effect of the Invincible Golden Body. As long as I can achieve a momentary Golden Body, this moment of invincibility will be enough to offset a significant amount of damage."
"It's truly unlikely for the Golden Cudgel Spirit to attain the Invincible Golden Body. Little Sun is different. As a Stone Monkey, he should have the potential to achieve it, and through his relationship with the Stone Monkey form, he could 'translate' it into his own Soul skills."
Sun Qi felt it would be more cost-effective for the Stone Monkey form to acquire the Invincible Golden Body, allowing all seven forms to benefit.
"Unfortunately, this is the era of Dou Yi. If it were Dou Er, we could also refer to the core formation of the Invincible Shield within the Soul guide."
Sun Qi's thoughts flashed through his mind as he continued to demonstrate his stick technique.
"Xiao Sun, under what circumstances do you think we can add the Invincible Golden Body?"
Sun Qi performed the stick technique according to the set in his mind, switching between light and heavy.
Xiao Sun scratched his head.
Although his IQ has improved now, he still can't discuss too profound things with Sun Qi.
He can only rely on instinct and feel that every time Sun Qi switches between the light stick and the heavy stick, it is most suitable to add the Invincible ability.
Firstly, it can deal out the damage of the heavy stick, and secondly, the heavy stick seems to be less likely to be interrupted and will not be forced to end because of the Invincible Golden Body.
Sun Qi said: "Yes, the Invincible Golden Body can be integrated when switching between light and heavy stick techniques, but we still lack the Soul skills of the heavy stick. Now we only have the light stick and heavy stick separated by ourselves. In fact, the difference in power is not much. The heavy stick will be interrupted if it is interrupted. We need a Soul skill similar to a charged attack to prevent this stick technique from being interrupted."
Little Sun scratched his body anxiously.
"An Invincible Golden Body isn't enough, so I need a heavy staff Soul skill. Are you trying to get me to practice faster?"
Sun Qi was speechless.
"You're overthinking it. I just wanted to discuss whether it's possible to create a heavy staff Soul skill yourself."
"Uh-huh!" (Then I'd breathe a sigh of relief.)
Sun Qi shook his head, genuinely believing that creating a Soul skill on your own would be even more difficult.
Even with the Golden Cudgel's first Soul skill as a reference, allowing him to constantly experience the feeling of charging a powerful strike, he still hadn't grasped the idea.
Creating a Soul skill on your own was harder than he'd imagined.
More precisely, the principles behind the activation of Soul Ring Soul skills were simpler than he'd imagined.
The release of a Soul Ring Soul skill doesn't necessarily correspond to the complete flow of Soul Power within a person.
While the release of a Soul Ring Soul skill does trigger changes in the Soul Master's body, it's more of a subconscious process, not a fully realized path for the complete Soul Power flow required to achieve that skill.
The release of Soul skills relies heavily on the characteristics of the Martial Soul.
Soul Rings fuse with the Martial Soul, merging with a specific characteristic of the Spirit, thus granting the Spirit a specific Soul skill.
Activating a Soul Ring directly activates the Spirit's characteristic, allowing Soul Power, transformed by the Spirit, to unleash the Soul skill's effects.
This is a foolproof approach, without any changes in the flow of energy within the Soul Master's body.
Of course, a Soul Master can also follow the intuition of the Soul skill, repeatedly unleashing it, relying on their own perception and aligning their Soul Power with the skill. This may hinder the skill's effectiveness, or it may enhance its power. Through trial and error, a Soul Master can find a system of Soul Power that perfectly matches the skill.
This system isn't even a replica of the skill, but rather a version that amplifies the skill's power.
This is the experience of Sun Qi's seven main bodies during the period of developing their Soul skills.
A Soul Master's meridians simply aren't sufficient to utilize the Soul skills in their Soul Rings.
In fact, this Soul skill is also the Soul skill of a Soul Beast. How can humans master it?
Therefore, the role of the Soul Ring is to integrate the characteristics of this Soul skill of the Soul Beast into the Soul Master, and not into the Soul Master's meridian system, but into the Soul Master's Martial Soul.
If there are corresponding points of fit in the Martial Soul, the fusion can be successful, thus obtaining the corresponding Soul skill.
As for the self-created Soul skill translated by the Stone Monkey from Xiao Sun, it is purely the characteristics of the Out-of-Body Martial Soul.
The Out-of-Body Martial Soul is to truly separate the Martial Soul and create a new life. It can be regarded as a six-year-old child giving birth to a new life.
Therefore, when the characteristics of the Soul Ring are integrated into the Out-of-Body Martial Soul, the Out-of-Body Martial Soul will change the form of this characteristic back to the essence of the Soul skill, that is, the operation of Soul Power.
Of course, if there are some parts of this Soul skill that the Out-of-Body Martial Soul itself does not possess, it may cause the Soul skill to deviate.
For example—
"Master's Luo Sanpao's Spirit abilities probably don't match him. He's obsessed with power, overlooking the importance of Soul Rings matching his Spirit."
"He's clearly the most conservative, a rule-abiding person, adhering to the Soul Ring age limit and refusing to touch it, defying the strict rules of Soul Masters and even resisting the use of drugs, yet he always has unconventional ideas about Soul Ring combinations. He's truly outrageous."
He insisted on adding an animal-type Soul Ring to Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Spirit. Wasn't that unnecessary?
Yes, the characteristics would all match.
But it took Tang San three years to ascend from level thirteen to nineteen after absorbing the Mandragora Snake's Soul Ring. The same thing happened with Master himself. Luo Sanpao did gain the abilities of thunder and hypnosis, but they came in the form of farts.
This is hilarious.
"I guess the hypnosis ability was acquired after he realized Luo Sanpao's only attack method was farting. The hypnosis Soul Ring definitely didn't come from a dragon-type Soul Beast."
"Actually, I'm also lucky. The Soul Beast of my first Soul Ring is from the Transparent Spirit Ape, a perfect match for Xiao Sun, allowing me to directly benefit from the translation function."
Therefore, developing a heavy cudgel-type Soul skill is not easy.
"I'll try to give you some of the sensations of using heavy cudgel Soul skills. Feel them and see if you can comprehend anything."
Sun Qi's efficiency in developing his own Soul skills is low.
However, Xiao Sun, according to his understanding, because of his disembodied Martial Soul, is instinctively well-suited to Soul cultivation, and perhaps he can replicate the corresponding Soul skill through intuition.
This isn't just about observing others' Soul skills to gain insights.
It's about genuine experience.
Sun Qi's seven main bodies share a single consciousness, allowing them to communicate their feelings. Furthermore, the Stone Monkey Sun Qi and Xiao Sun share the gift of the Transparent Ape Heart, allowing for a direct connection. This allows for the grafting of the sensations of the Stone Monkey Sun Qi performing the Golden Cudgel Soul skill directly onto Xiao Sun.
