Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 35: The Concept of the Third Soul Ring

Although things were a little tortuous, Yan Shaozhe was in a very good mood because he finally found a way to solve his disciple's martial soul defect.

Moon suddenly asked, "How can you be sure that your case is not an isolated case?"

Glancing at Ma Xiaotao, Moon continued, "In reality, there's still a gap between Xiaotao's talent and yours."

Ma Xiaotao was a little sad, but she also knew that what Moon said was true. Without mentioning anything else, the fact that Lin Yi had completely controlled her with one soul skill before was enough to explain the problem.

Facing Moon's questions, Lin Yi seemed confident.

"Master, rest assured. As long as you choose the right soul beast, I can guarantee that Junior-nephew Xiaotao will succeed."

"This is the conclusion I came to after searching hundreds of relevant records in the library and studying the spirit ring absorption of nearly a thousand people."

"Any martial soul, as long as it possesses soul power, can choose a soul ring by matching its origin, thereby achieving a certain degree of evolution of the martial soul itself."

Moon narrowed his eyes slightly, "Any martial spirit? That's a bit too much..."

Lin Yi straightened his chest, put his hands behind his back, his long hair and moon-white robe moved in the wind, showing the demeanor of a master.

Moon looked at the young disciple helplessly, raised his hand to restrain Lin Yi's spirit power that was acting as a blast, and said, "Stop being weird and tell me quickly."

"Oh……"

"There's something wrong with the way soul masters practice now."

The first sentence Lin Yi said shocked everyone.

"Today's soul masters only pursue the power of soul skills, which is absolutely wrong."

"True cultivation should allow one's martial soul to continue to grow stronger. In other words, constantly strengthen the essence of one's martial soul, so that one can reach a higher position and have greater potential."

"But now the soul master's cultivation, from the moment the innate soul power is determined at birth, the soul master's upper limit has been determined. This is not what a normal cultivation system should be like."

"The choice of spirit rings and the spirit master's own understanding of the spirit's origin should be the driving force for the spirit master to move forward, rather than choosing a few powerful spirit skills. Those should be things that the spirit master creates and learns on his own."

"Obtaining spirit skills through spirit rings is essentially just a trick."

Ma Xiaotao didn't understand what she was saying, but she instinctively felt that what Lin Yi said must be right.

Moon En and Yan Shaozhe exchanged a glance, and Moon En said, "Xiao Yi, it is indeed feasible to enhance the upper limit of the martial soul through spirit rings, but as for the origin of the martial soul, you know that comprehending the origin of the martial soul is a practice that only begins at the Super Douluo realm."

"Why are you starting so late?"

"Because when a soul master is weak, he can't sense his own origin at all. Only when he reaches the Super Douluo realm, both his martial soul and the soul master himself have become powerful enough, can he begin to comprehend the martial soul's origin. For example, your senior brother Yan has been stuck at the 95th level of Super Douluo for decades because of his lack of understanding of the martial soul's origin."

Yan Shaozhe coughed lightly a few times, his face embarrassed, "Teacher, you are all here, please give your disciple some face."

Lin Yi understood, but still insisted: "I still think that we should practice martial soul essence as soon as possible, constantly strengthen our martial soul essence through spirit rings, and then gain enlightenment. The two complement each other."

"Super Douluo only begin to comprehend because as the soul power realm increases, the proportion of the martial soul itself becomes larger and larger. In order to break through the realm, they have to begin to comprehend. Therefore, if they can practice the origin as early as possible, it will undoubtedly make the soul master's cultivation smoother."

Moon smiled and said, "I don't deny what you said, but what you said is the path for a genius like you."

Seeing that Lin Yi was about to say more, Moon gently waved his hand to stop him, "Alright, didn't you say earlier that you had decided on your third spirit ring? Tell me about it now. You've been putting off getting your third spirit ring for long enough."

Indeed, nearly three months have passed since Lin Yi broke through to the Quasi-Soul Master level.

When Ma Xiaotao heard the news from her teacher, she felt an unprecedented blow in her heart.

The gap between the two is too big!
Ma Xiaotao became autistic, and Yan Shaozhe didn't know how to comfort her. He could only rely on time to let Ma Xiaotao slowly figure things out.

Sometimes, the gap between geniuses is much greater than the gap between geniuses and ordinary people...

Lin Yi was helpless, but he could only honestly tell his plan.

"I plan to choose a powerful lightning-attribute soul beast for my third soul ring."

"what?!"

The few of them had no idea how many times they had been shocked by Lin Yi today, but when they heard that Lin Yi was going to choose the thunder attribute, even Moon felt his heart beating a little faster.

Ma Xiaotao had even forgotten the blow she had suffered earlier. Her lips were slightly open, her pale pink eyes were wide open, and she looked adorably dumbfounded.

"Thunder attribute?! Junior brother, what are you thinking?!"

Lin Yi, however, had a calm expression on his face. He raised his hands and then pressed them down. "Don't be anxious. Just listen to me first."

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Lin Yi finally explained his reasons.

"I've already said that we should start cultivating our origins as soon as possible, and when upgrading our spirit rings, we should choose to increase the upper limit of our martial spirits as much as possible." "Then what does this have to do with your choice of a thunder attribute spirit ring?"

Facing the impatient Yan Shaozhe, Lin Yi did not retort. After all, this senior brother had always shown that he cared about him, and Lin Yi was not an ungrateful person.

"Brother Yan, listen to me."

"My golden tree is indeed very strong, but in a sense, my martial spirit has reached its peak."

"No matter how many soul rings with life and light attributes are added, it won't make my martial soul stronger. It will only give me a few more soul skills. For me, it's not necessary."

Giving them some time to understand, Lin Yi paused for a moment before continuing.

"Have you ever seen a lightning-struck tree?"

"Thunder struck wood?"

Moon seemed to suddenly think of something, and had some more guesses in his mind.

"Yes, if you have seen lightning-struck wood, you will know that some lightning-struck wood will regain vitality after being baptized by thunder, and the vitality may even be stronger."

"That's why I chose the thunder attribute spirit ring."

"Thunder certainly brings destruction, but opposite to destruction is also rebirth."

"I hope that after being baptized by thunder, my golden tree, like the lightning-struck wood, will be able to break through the limitations of its own martial spirit, break through to another level of heaven and earth, and radiate a stronger vitality."

There is no doubt that Lin Yi's method is beyond the scope of ordinary soul masters. No one in Douluo Continent has ever thought of using this method to absorb soul rings in tens of thousands of years.

Lin Yi's statement does sound feasible.

But again, no one has ever acted this way, and everything is unknown.

The unknown means risk.

The wrinkles on Moon's face seemed to deepen. "Xiaoyi, Master knows that you have ambitious goals, but your current strength is not enough. The risk is too great with your third spirit ring."

After a pause, Moon En said, "Master can agree to let you choose a thunder attribute spirit ring, but at least it must be after the fifth ring."

"Teacher!" Yan Shaozhe didn't expect that Moon En would actually agree, even if it was only after the fifth ring.

But after the fifth ring, the risk is still very high. Lin Yi is the future of Shrek, how can he be so indulged?

Moon raised his hand to stop him, signaling Yan Shaozhe not to say more.

Lin Yi knew that this was the biggest concession Moon could make, but after a long silence, meeting Moon's expectant eyes, Lin Yi slowly shook his head.

"Why?" Moon's voice was a little hoarse.

"Master, I don't have twin spirits. I only have one golden tree and nine empty spirit rings. I have nothing to waste!"

Feeling the determination in Lin Yi's words, Moon knew that it was impossible to persuade this disciple, even though he was his master, even though he was the head of the Sea God Pavilion, but what Lin Yi had decided would not change!
Just like when Lin Yi knew that the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy was not valued and wanted to leave, although Lin Yi was young, he always knew what he wanted and would not be distracted by external forces.

Moon En knew that if he forced Lin Yi to absorb the remaining spirit rings, Lin Yi would accept it, but the relationship between him and Lin Yi as master and disciple would be over.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Moon, who wants Lin Yi to become the future pillar of Shrek.

However, if he didn't do this, he could only watch Lin Yi absorb the thunder attribute spirit ring and gamble on the possibility of success.

If you lose, everything is over. If you win, you may get a better disciple.

But Moon knew that the result had already come out. After all, if Lin Yi was not allowed to choose the thunder attribute, there would be nothing. If he agreed, there would still be a possibility of winning the bet. This was an easy choice, wasn't it?
Moon sighed, "Have you thought about how you're going to absorb the lightning attribute? Your golden tree has no connection to the lightning attribute at all. The repulsion between them is enough to ruin all your efforts, and even cost you your life."

Lin Yi was not frightened by the consequences Moon mentioned. Instead, he smiled because he knew that Moon agreed with his idea.

"Master, don't worry. Since I thought so, I have naturally considered the risks and consequences. However, I still have to trouble you."

Giving this troublesome little disciple a cold look, Moon said unhappily, "Why would I bother you?"

Lin Yi didn't mind Moon's bad tone. He knew the old man had already made a big concession, so he smiled and said, "I share the same origin as the Ancient Golden Tree. Therefore, I want to absorb the spirit ring under the Ancient Golden Tree. So I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Master to bring back the Thunder Attribute Spirit Beast."

"By then, with the ancient golden tree here, even if something unexpected does happen, it will be able to guarantee my safety to the greatest extent possible."

Moon snorted coldly, "You've thought it through!"

Lin Yi still smiled apologetically, "I am also doing this for the academy. If I make any mistakes, it will be a loss for the entire academy..."
