Chapter 173 The First Soul Core
Soon, the formed solid soul power was like a small black hole, and the energy of the world and the surrounding world swarmed in. Even the gathered vitality of heaven and earth formed a huge cloud of vitality above the Ice and Fire Eyes, which was invisible to the naked eye but could be detected by the spiritual power. As time passed, the sharp-eyed Chu Chengzhou suddenly discovered that with the influx of a large amount of heaven and earth energy, a very fine black line appeared around the rapidly rotating solid soul power. ‘Is this a space crack? ’ Chu Chengzhou was keenly aware of the extraordinary nature of this thin black line. The rapidly rotating solid soul power, while devouring a large amount of energy from the outside world, is also absorbing the power of space contained in this space crack. Not understanding why this situation occurred, Chu Chengzhou didn't worry too much and continued to use his mental power to maintain the stable operation of his solid soul power. Gradually, the spatial cracks that appeared around the solid soul power became more and more dense, and there was a tendency of gradually strengthening. As the power of space was absorbed by the solid soul power, subtle spatial fluctuations were imprinted in Chu Chengzhou's mind. It's a pity that this fluctuation is too weak, and since he has no foundation in this area, he cannot form a clear understanding at all.
And as the violent space power is swallowed up, the mental power consumption required to maintain the stable operation of solid soul power becomes even greater. Fortunately, Chu Chengzhou was already good at mental power, and his strong level of soul power control was very conducive to maintaining the stability of solid soul power, so it was not unbearable. Time passed by, and when the soul power in his body was about to be exhausted, Chu Chengzhou noticed that the energy accumulation of solid soul power seemed to have reached a limit, and the speed of rotation also reached a limit, even the surrounding space All completely twisted. ‘Next, it seems that the solid soul power is going to be exploded. No, is it collapsing? ’ The next second, as Chu Chengzhou's thoughts changed, his solid soul power trembled slightly. In an instant, as if time had been suspended, the solid soul power that had been rotating rapidly in a clockwise direction stopped unexpectedly. It went from extreme motion to extreme stillness. This sudden change gave people an indescribably weird feeling. Without waiting for Chu Chengzhou to think more, in an instant, the space suddenly collapsed. Everything seemed to collapse with his body as the center. The terrifying power of space seemed to be about to completely tear his body into pieces. Of course, this is all just an illusion. Otherwise, a soul master who cannot master the immortal body will not be able to gather soul cores. The reason for this illusion was that a strange connection was created during the complete condensation and formation of the soul core, which brought his consciousness into the perspective of the collapsing solid soul power. The next second, his consciousness returned, and Chu Chengzhou suddenly saw that the solid soul power floating in front of him had completely collapsed, turning into a blue black hole like a vortex. After just one glance, Chu Chengzhou felt as if his soul was being sucked into it. In the vortex of the blue hole, except for the blue that caught his eye, he could not feel the existence of anything else. The large amount of energy that had been swallowed up by the solid soul power seemed to have all turned into nothingness. But he could clearly feel that there was a bridge-like connection between himself and the blue hole vortex. Soon, rippling golden ripples appeared around the whirlpool of the blue hole. The next moment, the blue hole vortex shrank and turned into a blue multi-faceted rhombus crystal the size of a goose egg. Then, fine golden ripples rippled and submerged into the blue multi-faceted rhombus crystal. Finally, with the blue-gold brilliance blooming, everything turned into a blue-gold multi-faceted rhombus crystal. ‘This is my soul core? ’ Looking at the blue-gold multi-faceted rhombus crystal that appeared in front of him, and feeling the majestic soul power contained within it, Chu Chengzhou nodded secretly with joy. At this time, the soul core has taken shape. While rotating steadily clockwise, it no longer needs to absorb the soul power in Chu Chengzhou's body, but only gently absorbs the energy of heaven and earth from the outside.
Of course, although the soul core has taken shape now, it is not yet the first soul core that has been truly condensed. It still has to be absorbed into the body. After calming down, Chu Chengzhou began to try to integrate the formed soul core into his body. Following the connection, Chu Chengzhou controlled the blue-gold soul core in front of him and integrated it into the dantian under his abdomen. Regardless of all the bells and whistles, in Chu Chengzhou's view, the role of the soul core for oneself is equivalent to extra blue bars, which improves the quality of soul power, speeds up the speed of soul power recovery, and helps break through bottlenecks. If one day you feel that this attributeless soul core is not suitable, just take it out and throw it away and then condense another one. Although he didn't know whether future generations of soul masters could change the properties of condensed soul cores, nor did he know if any soul masters who had condensed the soul core felt that the soul core was inappropriate and lost it before condensing it again. But since the soul core does not entrust one's own soul, is not connected to one's own life, and is only a product of soul power, then it is definitely no problem to take it out and throw it away and replace it with another one. As soon as the soul core integrated into his body, Chu Chengzhou immediately felt a sense of oppression spread throughout his body. This feeling of oppression is very familiar, just like the pressure produced when absorbing a high-year soul ring. Obviously, if the physical fitness is not up to par, forcibly integrating the soul core into the body is like absorbing an old soul ring that exceeds the limit of one's endurance, and will only lead to death by explosion. But for Chu Chengzhou, this level of pressure is nothing. After all, his physical strength is still higher than that of most eight-ring soul douluo, and the soul core currently condensed has a soul power level of no more than It's just the sixth ring. Soon, the soul core was successfully integrated into the body. In the Dantian under the abdomen, the blue-gold first soul core began to rotate steadily in a clockwise direction. In an instant, Chu Chengzhou felt that the exhausted soul power in his body began to recover rapidly. According to this recovery speed, even if he does not use the Nine Breath Conquering Meditation Method, it will probably take less than an hour to fully recover. And not only did the soul power in his body recover quickly, Chu Chengzhou also noticed that with the first soul core running all the time, the soul power in his body, which was already much better than the soul masters of the same level, began to become more concentrated. Really. Although this change is still very subtle due to the fact that the soul core has just been condensed, over time, the effect will definitely be very significant. And this is also the reason why Chu Chengzhou only focused on improving the level of his soul power in the past, and did not choose to compress and purify it to make the quality of his soul power stronger. Instead of wasting that effort, it would be better to condense the soul core!
One is manual and the other is fully automatic 24 hours a day. The huge efficiency gap between the two is obvious. In addition, the quality of the soul power in his body is steadily improving. Although subsequent upgrades require more accumulation, this does not mean that his upgrade speed has become slower than before he condensed his soul core. The soul core absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth from the outside world all the time. While purifying and accelerating the recovery of the soul power in the soul master's body, it can also have an effect similar to a training accelerator. It's just that the quality of soul power is higher, and more accumulation is required to upgrade. After one addition and one subtraction, it is almost equal, or the improvement speed is not obvious. The only pity is that it seems that he can no longer be a high-end assassin? There is a soul core in the body that is constantly absorbing the energy of heaven and earth from the outside world. Although it cannot be detected by the naked eye, with spiritual perception, he can detect a small vortex of soul power appearing in his abdomen. The energy of heaven and earth from the outside world is constantly absorbing it. Rushing into the whirlpool of soul power. The movement and movement of this small vortex of soul power is naturally far less than when the soul core was condensed before, but it does exist. After all, energy is conserved. Without absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth from the outside world, how can the soul core purify and automatically restore the soul power in the soul master's body? After thinking about it, Chu Chengzhou used his mental power to isolate the inner soul core of his lower dantian from the outside world. Suddenly, from the perspective of mental power, the small soul power vortex that appeared in his abdomen disappeared immediately. Chu Chengzhou: I, Chu Laoliu, am back again!
"what?" Suddenly, Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but let out a sigh. It seems that after isolating the connection between the soul core and the outside world, the soul power in the body is still recovering automatically? After careful sensing, Chu Chengzhou discovered that even if he took the initiative to isolate the soul core from the outside world, the soul core running stably in the body could still draw energy from unknown places. Although the efficiency is not as good as when it is not blocked, it does work. ‘The power of space? ’ After thinking for a moment, Chu Chengzhou thought of the dense space cracks that appeared when the soul core was still solid soul power, and the space power absorbed in the process of condensing the soul core. Perhaps it is the power of space that was absorbed previously that enables the soul core to cross space and absorb the energy of heaven and earth from the outside world?
Although it is not clear whether this guess is right or wrong, it is not important. What is important is that even if he has the soul core in his body, it will not affect his ability to restrain his soul power aura and fluctuations when necessary. "How does it feel?" At this time, Dugu Bo stepped forward and asked. "very good, very powerful!" Chu Chengzhou stood up and nodded with a smile. For the high-level soul masters of later generations, you can have no soul bones, but you must not have no soul cores. Otherwise, in battles at the same level, you will basically only be beaten, or even overthrown by a higher level. For example, the peak level 98 Golden Crocodile in the current era, if other conditions are not much different, will probably not be able to defeat the level 97 super Douluo with dual soul cores in the future. Dugu Bo didn't answer, but looked at Chu Chengzhou with burning eyes. It was not that he had not seen the entire process of Chu Chengzhou condensing soul cores before, and he also understood what soul cores were all about. His brain is not stupid either. Compared to soul bones, which have certain storage limits, soul cores are definitely more suitable for storing the jade phosphorus snake emperor poison that remains after being possessed by a martial spirit in the body. "I'm a male, I like women, and I'm not gay." Facing Dugu Bo's fiery eyes, Chu Chengzhou said something. Dugu Bo: "." Dugu Bo is worthy of being a Titled Douluo. Even though his strength is a bit weak, his level of control over his own soul power is still quite good. Moreover, he had also condensed a poisonous elixir, which was somewhat similar to a soul core. It would not work without a certain level of soul power control. In just three days, after several attempts, Dugubo, under Chu Chengzhou's guidance, condensed a poison-attributed soul core in the Dantian under his abdomen. And after successfully condensing the first soul core, the bottleneck was loosened, and the soul power level broke through to level 93 titled Douluo. The reason why titled Douluo's levels are slow is not that they accumulate soul power slowly, but that after level 90, there is a threshold for each level, so time is basically wasted on breaking through the bottleneck. As for the cost of Dugu Bo's concentration of soul cores~, near the hill where the Ice and Fire Eyes were located, there were several large craters caused by the out-of-control solid soul power. "Boy Chu, thank you very much for this!" After the breakthrough, Dugu Bo, whose face was full of joy, expressed his gratitude to Chu Chengzhou.
"Senior, there is no need to do this, but can you grant me a small request?" Waving his hand, Chu Chengzhou asked. "Request? You say it!" "You should have experienced the effect of the soul core. Before Sister Yanyan can try to condense the soul core, I would like to ask my seniors not to spread this secret method." The method of condensing soul cores has been learned by other forces, and Chu Chengzhou is not afraid of it, but for the time being, this secret method must not be obtained by Wuhun Palace. Wuhundian is the overlord of the soul master world, with many masters under its command. If it obtains the soul core secret method, if it is not kept intact, a large number of titled Douluo who were originally stuck at the peak level 89 bottleneck will emerge in a short period of time. A strong person will definitely reach a higher level of strength. Just like the Golden Crocodile enshrined in the Spirit Hall II, whose soul power level has been stuck at the peak of level 98 for many years. If he could condense the soul core, Chu Chengzhou would not doubt that Golden Crocodile could become a peerless Douluo at level 99. By then, the strength of the Wuhun Palace will expand, and so will its ambitions. No longer waiting for Qian Renxue, the 'hope of the whole village', to establish the Wuhun Empire in advance and launch a unification war, then he who could have become the trend-setter of the times will end up drowning. . In this case, it is very necessary for this secret method to be kept secret. A strong person who has a good relationship with him can teach it, but one who is not strong enough can never teach it. He can use the illusory world to temporarily tamper with the consciousness of others. Naturally, there are soul masters who are good at hypnotic interrogation on the mainland. Many spiritual soul masters know this kind of routine. Maybe they can't hypnotize a powerful Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo, but Dugu Yan's strength is far inferior to Dugu Bo. If she really wants to be targeted, it will be easy to hypnotize her and ask her for the secret method of the soul core. of. Anyway, Dugu Yan's soul power level is not high. When she can condense the soul core, he will be invincible in the world, or even become a god. Naturally, he will not care whether the small soul core secret method is known to the whole continent. "no problem!" Dugubo agreed without hesitation. His social circle is not very wide. Apart from his granddaughter Dugu Yan, the only people he can call friends are Prince Xue Xing of Tiandou and Chu Chengzhou. Neither Dugu Yan nor Xue Xing were high-level soul masters, so even if they were given the soul core secret method, they would not be able to use it. Even if Chu Chengzhou didn't mention this matter, he wouldn't have passed on the secret technique to Dugu Yan so early. "By the way, senior, I have something to apologize to you for. I hope you can forgive me." Suddenly, Chu Chengzhou said with a sincere expression. "Ok?" Hearing this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but look surprised. "Ahem~, that's it." Chu Chengzhou briefly talked about the value of fairy herbs, well, he kept it small to avoid too much pain for Dugu Bo. "Hey~, what do I mean? It's just some medicinal herbs, but it's nothing compared to the safety of me and Yanyan." Dugu Bo said nonchalantly. Is Dugu Bo a fool? Of course not. If he were a fool, he wouldn't be able to become a rare titled Douluo on the mainland as a Sanren. As a soul master who is barely proficient in pharmacology, Dugu Bo also knows that there are many exotic flowers and herbs on the mainland that are valuable and can enhance the strength of a soul master after taking them. He also saw Chu Chengzhou's rapid improvement in strength, but he knew that the reason why Chu Chengzhou's strength improved so quickly was not just because of the herbs, but because the young man himself was a freak.
What's more, it was clearly agreed at the beginning that it was a deal, and Chu Chengzhou didn't take it by force. Even if he was in pain, he would be too embarrassed to show it! After all, the medicinal herbs must have been eaten long ago, and it would be too late to regret it. "Hehe~, I left two plants for you and Sister Yanyan. You can take them back and give them to Sister Yanyan. The sooner you take this stuff, the better the effect will be." Seeing Dugu Bo being so generous, Chu Chengzhou felt a little embarrassed. "Huh? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Hearing this, Dugu Bo glared at Chu Chengzhou. Chu Chengzhou remained silent and turned his head away. "Oh~, I understand. You boy used to be afraid that I would regret it, but now you feel that your wings have become stronger and you can do better than me. You are not afraid that I will regret it, right?" After thinking for a while, Dugu Bo realized it clearly, and then he became very annoyed. How could I, Dugu Bo, be that kind of person?
"No, no, absolutely nothing!" Chu Chengzhou quickly waved his hand and denied it. "No shit! The wings are hard, aren't they? Let me test your strength today!" Dugu Bo cursed loudly. Chu Chengzhou: "." In the end, this ‘discussion’ failed, and Chu Chengzhou, a junior, strongly refused. If he wins, it will be equivalent to losing the face of his senior. If he loses, it will hurt him. Naturally, Chu Chengzhou will not agree. At Chu Chengzhou's suggestion, Dugubo did not choose to take the strange velvet-toothed chrysanthemum directly, but only took away the bamboo shoots grown by the black jade sacred bamboo. For a titled Douluo, a fairy herb, even a mature fairy herb, does not contain much energy. At present, Dugu Bo has just been promoted to Level 93 Titled Douluo and has not encountered any bottlenecks. Instead of taking it now, it would be better to take the QiRongTian TianChrysanthemum and use the power of the fairy herbs to break through later when he encounters a bottleneck that is difficult to break through. bottleneck. For example, after thoroughly refining the medicinal effect of the Qiantongtianju, Dugubo can increase his soul power by levels. Now he has entered level 93 for the first time, and after refining, his soul power level has been raised to more than half of level 94. However, if he takes it when he reaches the bottleneck at the peak of level 93, he may be able to directly enter the level 95 titled Douluo. Anyway, Dugu Bo is a lot older, so there is not much difference between taking it one or two years earlier or taking it one or two years later. Tiandou City, Chu Mansion. "Eh? Brother, what's going on here?" Xiao Wu pointed at Chu Chengzhou's abdomen and asked curiously. Her mental strength was not bad. Even if she didn't consciously sense it, she was still aware that the energy of the surrounding world was constantly pouring into Chu Chengzhou's body. "Oh~, I got a soul core!" "Soul core? What is it?" Ning Rongrong blinked at the side.
"Is it a new secret method?" Zhu Zhuqing also cast a searching look. "The so-called soul core is..." Chu Chengzhou explained to his three girls. "This is good, I want it, I want it! My soul power is never enough!" After learning about the efficacy of the soul core, Ning Rongrong immediately said excitedly. Chu Chengzhou felt that his soul power was not enough. In fact, Ning Rongrong was the same way. It was okay for her to assist one or two soul masters of the same level, but when there were more soul masters and there was a gap in levels, no matter how much soul power she had, it would not be enough. . Although the condensed soul calculation does not allow unlimited soul power, it can at least increase the battery life a lot. "No, Rongrong, your soul power level is too low." Chu Chengzhou shook his head and refused. He was very clear about the difficulty of condensing soul cores. Even though it was only his first attempt to condense soul cores, this was all due to his strong mental power and super high level of soul power control. Ning Rongrong was not as capable as him, and his soul power level was only a fifth-ring soul king, far from being qualified to condense the first soul core. In Chu Chengzhou's view, based on the three girls in his family, if he wants to condense the soul core, the soul power level must be at least 69 soul emperors. To be on the safe side, it is best to enter the seventh-ring soul saint again. To condense. "Ah~" Suddenly, Ning Rongrong couldn't help showing a disappointed expression. "Brother, what about me?" Xiao Wu asked. "Let's wait until you advance to the seventh ring to gather it again!" Chu Chengzhou said while smacking his lips. "Don't you only have the sixth ring? Why does Sister Xiaowu want the seventh ring?" Xiao Wu, who pouted and put her hands on her hips, asked confidently. "That's right, you big scumbag, do you look down on us women?" Ning Rongrong immediately cheered for Sister Xiaowu, and Zhu Zhuqing also turned around and stood together with the two sisters. "Don't make trouble~, I'm doing this for your own good. The difficulty of condensing the soul core is not easy. If you don't have enough strength and control, you can easily be in danger! Even Poison Douluo tried several times before he succeeded." After being reminded emphatically about the dangers of condensing soul cores, Chu Chengzhou pulled Xiao Wu over, hugged her into his arms, and kneaded the crotch behind her with both hands. Three sisters united front? Watch me defeat them one by one! After being 'bullied' one by one, the three of them immediately became honest. No, the big cat has always been honest. The ones who are dishonest are Pippi Rabbit and the little witch who loves making fire.
"By the way, scumbag, since you have taught Poison Douluo, can you teach Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bones this soul core secret method?" Ning Rongrong asked obediently. As far as she knows, the two grandfathers have been stuck in the bottleneck for many years, and the soul core can help break through the bottleneck. After condensing the soul core, her two grandfathers should be able to break through, right? "Rongrong, what did you call me?" "No, Brother Zhou~" "Well, let's go write a letter to our father! But don't talk about the soul core, lest the news is leaked, just invite him to visit our house when he is free." Chu Chengzhou nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said. "I know~!" Happy Gregorian New Year, my friends! ! !
