2: Encountering Yu Xiaogang, Soul Hunting Forest
Three days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the holiday day for Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.Early in the morning, Xiao Chenyu packed his bags, sat on a stool, shaking his legs, waiting for Wang Qi to come for breakfast.
"Wang Qi, I told you before that I would not let you wait for me for three months in vain. I found out that the cost of asking the Soul Master among the Soul Hunting Forest Guards to help hunt for a soul ring is ten gold soul coins, and the price of selecting a suitable soul beast is thirty gold soul coins. There are thirty gold soul coins in this bag. Just take it as compensation for waiting for me for three months without obtaining a soul ring."
Seeing Xiao Chenyu's embarrassed expression, Wang Qi took the bag and smiled without saying anything.
As early as three months ago, Wang Qi's soul power level reached the bottleneck of level ten. The reason why he did not follow the academy's large group to the Soul Hunting Forest was not because his purpose was not to wait for him to break through so that they could obtain soul rings together as Xiao Chenyu said.
Instead, Wang Qi speculated about the relationship between soul masters and the age of their soul rings based on the plot in the original novel. If, as described in the original novel, physical fitness is proportional to the age of soul rings, then an auxiliary soul master would absolutely not be able to absorb a ten thousand year soul ring when he had the fifth soul ring.
Even when absorbing the third soul ring, it is difficult to absorb the thousand-year soul ring.
After traveling through time and practicing meditation himself, Wang Qi guessed that perhaps physical fitness was related to the number of years of absorbing spirit rings, but the core factor was definitely not just physical fitness.
So Wang Qi had the idea of conducting an experiment. He continued to practice after reaching a bottleneck. After three months of experimentation, Wang Qi discovered that soul power could still be increased after reaching a bottleneck.
This increase is not a qualitative change, but an increase in quantity, just like a bucket filled with water. A one-liter bucket can only hold one liter of water. If you want to hold more, you can only make the bucket bigger.
The same is true for the human body. After three months of slow training, Wang Qi discovered that the bucket that carries the soul ring's soul power is not the body, but the tendons.
Wang Qi was not sure whether the width of the meridians was related to the aptitude for cultivation, but what was certain was that for Wang Qi, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.
As for why he didn't continue to practice, increase his foundation, and break through to a higher realm in the future? First, Wang Qi was not sure whether continuing to practice could increase his qualifications. The golden age for practice was only a few years, and Wang Qi didn't intend to waste time doing such an experiment that would affect his future.
Second, there is a gap in the training speed between soul masters and soul warriors. If Wang Qi is given a test subject, Wang Qi may not allow the other party to break through, but since it is related to himself, Wang Qi has to consider it carefully.
After all, after traveling to the Douluo World, Wang Qi still wanted to try to contact Dugu Bo. What if he got the immortal grass and changed his fate? Wang Qi didn't want to be a salted fish after traveling through time.
"By the way, Wang Qi, have you prepared your weapons? Only soul masters who have killed soul beasts with their own hands can absorb soul rings. If you haven't prepared anything, I have a dagger here, I can give you one."
Looking at the silly Xiao Chenyu, Wang Qi smiled and said, "I brought it. How could I forget such a thing?"
"But you, do you have any plans for your first spirit ring? What kind of spirit beast do you want to hunt?"
Hearing Wang Qi asking about the spirit ring plan, Xiao Chenyu said without hesitation: "Of course, I will hunt tiger spirit beasts. Wang Sheng always said that if my spirit power level was not higher than his, my wolf spirit would definitely not be a match for his tiger spirit. This time I will obtain the spirit ring of a tiger spirit beast and take care of him."
Wang Qi couldn't help but frown at Xiao Chenyu's answer. Was the decision so hasty? If Xiao Chenyu wasn't his roommate and they had a good relationship, Wang Qi wouldn't care what spirit ring Xiao Chenyu would get, whether it was a tiger or a dog, or even if Xiao Chenyu's first spirit ring was an earthworm.
But the two of them have lived in the same house for nearly three years, and Wang Qi doesn't want Xiao Chenyu to ruin his future because of his impulsive behavior.
"Your martial soul is a wolf, the kind that barely mutates into a soul beast. Your martial soul can be compared to a blank sheet of paper, which has strong plasticity. If I were you, I would try to find a wolf-type soul beast with attributes in the first soul ring."
"Then when you have the second or third soul ring, hunt down the superior soul beast of the first soul ring. If my guess is correct, Xiao Chenyu, your martial soul has a certain chance of evolving in the future."
When Wang Qi was helping Xiao Chenyu analyze the pros and cons, a middle-aged male voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Martial Soul Evolution? My friend, do you know what you are talking about? What is your theoretical basis? Where did you see this? Sorry, I lost my composure. My name is Yu Xiaogang, and others call me Master. You should have heard of my name."
Yu Xiaogang, wearing a dark grey robe, with a short flat head and big lips, walked out from behind the courtyard gate and looked at Wang Qi with admiration and confusion.
Wang Qi lived in Notting College for two years, so of course he had met this so-called master, Yu Xiaogang.
"Ah, you are big." Xiao Chenyu was about to say something fancy but was stopped by Wang Qi before he could finish his words.
Putting aside whether Yu Xiaogang is the principal's friend, his strength as a great soul master is not something that a newbie like Wang Qi and Xiao Chenyu, who haven't even obtained two soul rings, can challenge.
"My student Wang Qi, I have met you, Master. I just said nonsense. I have no theoretical basis, let alone any."
"Wang Qi? Is that the Wang Qi who awakened the mutant humanoid flame martial soul and has the third-level innate soul power?" Yu Xiaogang suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed again and again. He looked at Wang Qi and continued,
"Your idea is good. This theory is close to one of the ten core competitiveness of martial souls that I wrote. I didn't expect that you have such a talent in martial soul theory even though your innate soul power is not high. Not bad, not bad."
"Well, after all, I have lived in Notting Junior Soul Master Academy for more than ten years and have never done anything for the academy. Recently, I have encountered a bottleneck in my theoretical research. I will take you to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt for soul rings to verify the correctness of my theory."
Yu Xiaogang's words sounded very righteous, and without waiting for Wang Qi and Xiao Chenyu to refuse, he took them to the horse market, hired a carriage, and set off for the Xingdou Great Forest.
Yu Xiaogang kept talking along the way, and he taught Wang Qi and Xiao Chenyu information about soul beasts like a teacher, occasionally asking Wang Qi about theoretical knowledge about the evolution of martial souls.
Whenever he got the key points out of Wang Qi, his eyes would light up, and he would impatiently take out his little notebook to record them, and then scold Wang Qi for having talent but not knowing how to apply it.
As for asking Wang Qi to become his disciple? With only the third-level innate soul power, how could he be qualified to study under Yu Xiaogang, the master of martial soul theory?
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It is quite normal for a theoretical master to teach students who are also theoretical masters, but it is truly amazing for a theoretical master to teach students who are extremely powerful.
Therefore, there is no destiny between Wang Qi and Yu Xiaogang, who both have the third level of innate soul power, to be a master and a disciple.
The carriage moved very quickly and arrived at the Soul Hunting Forest in just one morning. Under the leadership of Xiao Chenyu, after showing the relevant documents, he entered the Soul Hunting Forest with two Soul Master guards.
As soon as he entered the Soul Hunting Forest, Wang Qi subconsciously looked towards the bushes. The scene in front of him made Wang Qi stunned where he was.
It was because two light screens suddenly appeared in Wang Qi's eyes, which only he could see.
Soul beast: Soft-bone rabbit.
Year: Eleven years.
Absorption probability: 100% absorbable.
Matching Wuhun 1: 12 percent.
Matching Martial Soul 2: 1% (broken progress is 50%, unable to absorb soul rings.)
Innate Soul Power: Level 3.9.
Soul power: Level 10
Soul Ring: None
Soul Bone: None
