Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 88 Soul Power Compression and the Prototype of Star Attraction
That night, the stars were numerous and dazzling, and Ling Qianyao sat cross-legged on the roof.

The Star-Breaking Sword floated in front of him, and bits of starlight fell on the sword's edge.

The existence of the Star Tempering skill has enabled Ling Qianyao's martial soul to continue to grow. Every baptism of starlight allows him to feel the subtle changes in the power in his body. This way of growth is completely different from other martial souls.

Other martial spirits can often only rely on absorbing spirit rings to improve their strength, continuously evolve them, and develop the potential of the martial spirit.

If the quality and attributes of the spirit ring are not right, it is very likely to deviate the direction of the spirit's evolution.

However, the Star-Breaking Sword can directly absorb the power of the stars and continuously strengthen itself. It is a super plus version with its own mimicry training environment.

This ability became even stronger after Ling Qianyao absorbed the Xingluo Lingzhu, which had now turned into a liquid star vortex.

The current strength of the Star-Breaking Sword is far beyond the level that Ling Qianyao should have reached after simply obtaining the spirit ring and many opportunities, but it is much stronger.

The power of the stars flowed in his body, and his martial soul, nourished by the power of the stars, brought him an inexplicable understanding of the deep laws represented by the seven stars, four symbols, three celestial bodies and many other stars.

"My martial soul and physical strength have both reached the standard. The Illusion-Breaking Eyes allow me to precisely control my soul power. It's time."

Ling Qianyao said softly.

Then, he gathered all his mental strength into his dantian, the liquid star vortex transformed from the Star Spirit Pearl.

With the infusion of spiritual power, the liquid star vortex began to rotate slowly, emitting a more dazzling light, and the star power boiled in it.

He took a deep breath and began to try to compress the soul power in his body. This was an extremely delicate and dangerous operation. If he was not careful, it could cause the soul power to run wild and cause irreversible damage to the body.

But Ling Qianyao seemed unusually calm, as if everything was under his control.

Ever since Qian Renxue and he practiced the martial soul fusion technique and their soul powers could be integrated for cultivation, he began to think about compressing soul power.

The absorption of the Xingluo Spirit Pearl further strengthened Ling Qianyao's idea.

After the soul power is compressed, although its total amount remains unchanged, its quality is significantly improved, so the soul master can store more soul power in the body.

This not only means that the soul master's power will be leaped, but also that when using soul skills, it will be able to exert more powerful power while reducing the consumption of soul power.

Moreover, soul power compression is the key to condensing the soul core.

The Titled Douluo of the Dou Yi period did not need to condense the soul core, but Ling Qianyao was not satisfied with just following the practice rules of the old era.

He longed for a breakthrough and to go further on the path of becoming a soul master.

You should know that the combat power of a Titled Douluo with a soul core is on two different levels compared to a Titled Douluo without a soul core.

The degree of crushing is as different as heaven and earth.

The liquid star vortex began to spin faster and faster, and the soul power in Ling Qianyao's body seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and began to slowly gather towards the center of his dantian. Every bit of soul power was refined and compressed in the process, and fine cold sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead.

Ling Qianyao had already opened his eyes of illusion and attached his mental power to the soul power in his body.

The process was a little more difficult than he had imagined. At the beginning, his mental power was thrown away when it came into contact with the liquid star vortex. The invisible force field surged around the liquid star vortex, like an invisible barrier, rejecting any intrusion from external forces.

This was when Ling Qianyao's mental strength was on full display. As the liquid star vortex began to accelerate, he synchronized his mental power with it, attempting once again to communicate with the invisible force field with an indescribable delicacy. His mental power seemed to transform into countless fine threads, penetrating the invisible barrier and connecting closely with the soul power within the liquid star vortex.

"very good!"

There was a gleam of light in Ling Qianyao's eyes, and he felt a sense of harmony.

"Next, we will start to compress."

A terrifying suction force came, and Ling Qianyao felt that his mental power was being rapidly consumed. At the same time, starting from his dantian, the pressure brought by the compression of soul power began to spread throughout his body.

The pale white soul power in the body gradually turned into milky white, with a hint of liquid feeling.

What surprised Ling Qianyao even more was that the liquid star vortex in his dantian seemed to look down on the soul power in his body and existed only as a catalyst.

Only when the star power in the star cave gathers, will it actively devour and accommodate it.

His soul power first circulated throughout his body, then merged into the liquid star vortex and was compressed, and then flowed out of the liquid star vortex and returned to his meridians, circulating continuously.

The pain brought by the pressure at the beginning has disappeared, and Ling Qianyao is immersed in it, and time passes.

The next morning, Ling Qianyao finally opened his star-like eyes, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

After one night, his soul power had condensed by more than 40%, and the originally pale white gaseous soul power in his body had also begun to transform into liquid.

If the soul power before was like a gurgling stream, then the soul power now is like a rushing river, vast and deep.

Ling Qianyao raised his hand and clenched it. The tremendous power coming from his body made him stunned for a moment.

With such a rapid improvement, it is no wonder that the Titled Douluo is so powerful after possessing the Soul Core.

He glanced sideways and saw that Zhu Zhuqing had come to his side at some point, sitting cross-legged quietly and meditating.

As if sensing Ling Qianyao's movements, she also opened her eyes, a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she said softly:
"Good morning?"

Ling Qianyao smiled and pinched her cheek, "Good morning, didn't you say you could rest? Why are you still coming up?"

Zhu Zhuqing held his hand in hers and blinked, "Of course I'm worried that you'll be lonely. Besides, you're improving so quickly, and I don't want to be left behind by you. If I don't practice hard, how can I fight alongside you in the future?

You told me that you are my support, but I am not just your vassal.

Ling Qianyao took her into his arms, gently stroked her back, and they smiled at each other.

"There's still some time. Hold me for a while. I want to take a nap." Zhu Zhuqing raised her head, kissed Ling Qianyao on the cheek, and then leaned on his chest to rest.

Ling Qianyao did not make a sound to disturb her, but just gently adjusted his posture to make Zhu Zhuqing more comfortable, then closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility.

His mind sank into his dantian, the liquid star vortex was still spinning, but Ling Qianyao was surprised to find that there were strands of star power as thin as hair, being drawn from the star points throughout his body.

His mind moved slightly, and he was surprised to find that there seemed to be an inexplicable response in the outside world. Weak star power, as if pulled by invisible threads, slowly gathered towards his star cave.
