Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

"Soul?" Xu Yuan was surprised, not expecting that spiritual power cultivation was related to the soul.

However, he quickly understood, because he had also felt this before. After having a soul spirit, a soul master whose spiritual power reaches one hundred points can use the connection between the soul spirit and the sea of ​​spirit to sense and communicate with the sea of ​​spirit.

Ten thousand years ago, perhaps one hundred points was still the minimum threshold for sensing the Sea of ​​Spirit, but most Soul Masters needed at least five hundred points to truly sense the Sea of ​​Spirit, and even more needed a stroke of luck.

This alone makes the existence of spirits significant for spirit masters in their cultivation and exploration of spiritual power.

“More than that.” After hearing Xu Yuan’s statement, Mu Ye smiled and said, “It’s not just about assisting in the opening of the Sea of ​​Spirit.”

He organized his thoughts and asked Xu Yuan a question in return.

"What level of soul power, or what age, do you think a Soul Master from ten thousand years ago would have needed to reach one hundred points of spiritual power?"

Xu Yuan hadn't thought about this question and was taken aback by Mu Ye's question.

Ten thousand years ago, if a Soul Master's spiritual power reached one hundred points, would they be as fast as Soul Masters are today?

He shook his head.

This requires checking the data. Xu Yuan hadn't paid attention to it before, so naturally he didn't know the data.

"To put it simply, the time it takes for a Soul Master to grow their Spirit Power to 100 points before obtaining their first Soul Ring by fusing with a Soul Spirit and relying on that Soul Spirit is generally 20% shorter than that of a Soul Master who obtains their first Soul Ring by hunting Soul Beasts."

"This is just general data. For those Soul Masters who cultivate diligently, the reduction rate may even reach forty or fifty percent!"

Makino was also very excited when he said this.

In fact, such data also shocked Xu Yuan.

The effects of spirits are so obvious?

"The soul is a burden to spiritual power, but at the same time it is a weight."

"Bearing a heavy burden?" Xu Yuan quickly grasped the essence from Mu Ye's metaphor.

Loaded!

The fusion of souls requires spiritual power to sustain it. If spiritual power is insufficient, the consequences are very serious. However, apart from the time of fusion, in other daily life, the soul is also a burden on spiritual power.

If physical exercise involves adding weight, then mental strength will naturally be enhanced with even greater effect.

"Moreover, after fusion, the soul itself becomes part of the soul master's spiritual power."

A Soul Master with fully charged mental energy has a soul spirit that is an extension of that mental energy. Therefore, the natural increase in mental energy must also take into account the portion related to the soul spirit...

These factors combined have led to the current situation where Soul Masters' spiritual power is improving at a faster pace.

"Based on this, all the major powers on the continent have developed their own methods for cultivating spiritual power." Mu Ye started by talking about the essence of spiritual power methods.

Clearly, he had high expectations for Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan's most extraordinary talent lies in his mental strength. In the past year or so of cultivation, he has developed the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique and perfected the Blood Contract. So what about when he comes into contact with the method of cultivating mental strength?

Is it possible for him to develop his own advanced mental cultivation technique?

......

The Body Sect's method of cultivating spiritual power is the Qi and Blood Furnace Method, which is carried out in conjunction with meditation. It is a follow-up to the secret method of visualizing and solidifying the body parts in the meditation space, and can only be attempted after one has condensed the power of Qi and Blood.

After obtaining this secret technique from Mu Ye, Xu Yuan left Tian Dou City.

This trip lasted for more than ten days, and the gains were enormous.

......

Shrek Academy.

"Little Fatty, how much longer until the assessment?"

"Teacher Shen said it will start in three days."

"Three more days?" Xu Yuan nodded, indicating that there was no rush.

"Oh, right, Brother Yuan, the Mech Pilots Association is having an event with a lot of publicity," Xu Lizhi suddenly remembered something, patted his head, and said.

"What kind of event?" Xu Yuan asked curiously.

The Mech Pilots Association has a very low profile at Shrek Academy because very few students want to become mech pilots. A significant portion of the association's operating funds even comes from the rental fees it provides for the mechs used in the academy's annual mech piloting courses.

The remaining bulk of the cost came from collaborating with other factions through academy channels to build mechs for them.

It can be said that the Mech Pilots Association earns very few contribution points from its students and has a very low profile.

"It's a mecha development conference, said to be held every five years. The Mecha Pilots Association invites high-level mecha designers, mecha manufacturers, and mecha repairmen to discuss the development and technological improvement of mechas."

"What does that have to do with us?" Xu Yuan was speechless.

"Yes, all the associate professionals in our academy are planning to participate. Discussion is the job of the big shots, but for us, the main purpose of participating is to exchange ideas among associate professionals."

"comminicate?"

"The Mech Pilots Association is the association with the widest range of secondary professions. It can contact the most mech pilots of the three major secondary professions and is also a conference that all three professions pay attention to. Therefore, it will also attract people of all three professions to visit and exchange ideas."

Xu Yuan understood.

Taking advantage of the hype surrounding this conference, professionals from all three secondary professions gathered together for technical exchanges.

It's not just communication between professionals within the same professional system; the three major professions also engage in cross-professional communication.

This is also a rare large-scale cross-professional exchange activity among professionals in three complementary professions.

Xu Yuan was naturally interested in studying these three professions simultaneously.

"When does it begin?"

"Many professionals have gathered here now. The conference will officially start in about a week and will last for half a month."

"Okay, thanks." Xu Yuan said, "By the way, are you and Xinglan going to participate?"

"Xinglan and I plan to take the test after we finish the assessment. Teacher Shen said the assessment is quite difficult," Xu Lizhi said with a bitter face.

Chapter 54, is it not possible?

Is the assessment difficult?

Xu Yuan didn't pay any attention.

The reason these two were able to persevere until the start of the story is probably because the so-called high difficulty level added pressure to them.

After all, it's only been half a year, how much progress can you expect?

Sometimes it's possible to get stuck at a bottleneck and not make any progress for six months, although this is relatively unlikely.

Xu Yuan was somewhat interested in the conference held by the Mech Pilots Association.

"Let's go take a look first. Anyway, my progress in the past six months has been transformative, so there's no need to worry," Xu Yuan decided.

......

Mech Pilots Association.

The once quiet association was now unusually lively.

Even though the event hasn't officially started yet, quite a few professionals have already come here to exchange ideas.

"Junior Xu, you're here too?" Yu Yang greeted Xu Yuan warmly when he saw him.

Yu Yang is an outer court disciple, a sixth-year student, and has no chance of being admitted to the inner court. He will graduate in two and a half years.

The graduation standard for Shrek Academy's outer court is to become a One-Word Battle Armor Master, which includes breaking through to level 50 in Soul Power, because a One-Word Battle Armor Master corresponds to a level 50 Soul King.

Of course, soul power level is not difficult for Shrek students. Six grades, a total of eighteen years. Adding the age of twelve or thirteen when they enter school, they are basically thirty years old when they graduate from the sixth grade. Thirty years old is more than enough for a student of Shrek's outer academy to become a Soul King.

Moreover, these are students who have passed every upgrade assessment.

The real challenge lies in crafting the one-word battle armor.

This is really time-consuming and laborious.

The direction is the most important. Once the direction of the battle armor is determined, it will be easier to make two-word battle armor in the future. Therefore, strictly speaking, one-word battle armor is often the one that battle armor masters spend the most time making.

The purchase of rare metals and the creation of battle armor both require assistance, and the contribution points spent in this process are unknown.

To put it simply, customizing a Yellow-level mech requires millions of contribution points, while the value of a One-Word Battle Armor far exceeds that of a Yellow-level mech. Furthermore, the failure rate during its creation is extremely high, resulting in the waste of a significant amount of refined metal.

Millions of contribution points are worth more than one hundred million Federal Credits...

......

Yu Yang's battle armor is now complete, with only the gauntlet remaining. He is a mecha maker himself, with a sufficient level of skill and enough experience to prepare the necessary first-grade refined metal.

He simply didn't make this gauntlet so he could continue spending the last two and a half years in the outer academy.

Even if Shrek Academy is just the outer courtyard, it's still a good place. After all, it gathers the most outstanding Soul Masters on the entire continent, and almost all of them will become Battle Armor Masters in the future. It's very suitable for developing connections. Besides, there are Shrek Academy contribution points, so every extra bit helps.

Whether you exchange the money for Federal Coins or exchange it for rare metals through the associations within the academy, you'll make a profit.

Although there are various professional associations outside the industry, there is a significant difference between associations that are open to the public and those that are only open to academics.

......

"Senior Yu Yang, the battle armor isn't finished yet?"

Yu Yang's lips twitched.

"Isn't it because the gauntlets are difficult to make?"
