Chapter 87: Soul Core
Since the old man didn't need this hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone, Kong quietly put away the right arm bone of the hundred-thousand-year-old Titan Giant Ape.
Yu Yuanzhen: "!!!"
Aren't you going to ask a few more questions? If you had just hesitated a bit, wouldn't I have accepted it!
Yu Yuanzhen was stunned, his eye twitching, though he didn't feel much regret.
After all, he had planned to hunt down the heavily injured Tang Hao to gather another hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone for Kong.
"My grandson, you should absorb the soul bone first. I'll guard you!"
Two hundred-thousand-year-old soul bones should significantly enhance Kong's strength, right? Maybe he could even break through to the seventieth level and become a Soul Sage?
Kong shook his head. If he were to absorb the soul bone, it would actually be safer in the Heart of Purity.
"Grandfather, I know a method to break through to Title Douluo and even reach level ninety-nine, but it's somewhat unstable and requires someone to try it out."
Kong suddenly thought of the Soul Core theory. In this era, neither Title Douluos nor Ultimate Douluos had soul cores.
Why did the quality of Douluo Continent decline in ten thousand years, yet the number of Title Douluos increased?
The fundamental reason was the Soul Core!
Currently, Soul Douluos breaking through to Title Douluos largely depended on luck and the accumulation of soul power, with most breaking through in their seventies or eighties.
Condensing a Soul Core could accelerate the accumulation of soul power and also rapidly restore soul power during battles.
"Hiss..."
Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath. If what Kong said was true... no, Kong wouldn't lie!
"My grandson, what's the method?"
Yu Yuanzhen's eyes gleamed with gold, instantly forgetting about the soul bone.
"Soul Core, Single Soul Core, Homotopic Resonance Dual Soul Core, and Yin-Yang Balance Dual Soul Core."
"Soul Core?"
Yu Yuanzhen was baffled. This was an area he knew nothing about. What was a Soul Core? What were Single Soul Core, Homotopic Resonance Dual Soul Core, and Yin-Yang Balance Dual Soul Core?
"Grandfather, let me first explain what a Soul Core is."
Yu Yuanzhen had already reached level ninety-eight. Once he knew how to condense a Soul Core, it should be quite easy to form the first one.
As for the second Soul Core, used to break through to level ninety-nine, Kong looked at Yu Yuanzhen. Did he have the talent?
"After condensing a Soul Core, one can actively gather soul power and rapidly recover during battles. Once an eighty-ninth-level Soul Douluo condenses the first Soul Core, they can break through to Title Douluo."
"This is a Single Soul Core. As for the second Soul Core, there are two scenarios. One is the Homotopic Resonance Dual Soul Core, which is relatively simple to condense by finding the operating pattern and frequency of the first Soul Core..."
"As for the Yin-Yang Balance Dual Soul Core, it's much more difficult..."
After listening to Kong's explanation, Yu Yuanzhen was shaken. With his insight, he could see the feasibility of this method.
According to Kong, once the first Soul Core was condensed, it was equivalent to having a ticket to becoming a Title Douluo. And once the dual Soul Core was condensed, level ninety-nine was within reach.
But how could one condense a Soul Core?
"Grandfather, have you ever seen a vortex?"
Kong did not directly answer the question but asked back instead.
The Soul Core is similar to a vortex in the ocean, or a black hole, though the old man didn't understand black holes. So he used a vortex as an analogy.
Yu Yuanzhen nodded. When he was young, he had ventured out to sea.
That time, he encountered a huge vortex, barely escaping with his life.
A soul master's strength seemed so insignificant in the face of the forces of nature.
"The soul core is like a vortex. What we first need to do is compress our soul power, then use our spiritual power to control the rotation of this compressed soul power to create a soul power vortex..."
"In the end, if successful, we will have a soul core."
"And if it fails?"
Yu Yuanzhen asked, puzzled.
"Fail? Well..."
Kong was momentarily stunned. If the first soul core attempt fails, it won't be too serious. At most, you'll lose some soul power, which can be regained through cultivation. Then you can continue to try forming the soul core.
If the second soul core attempt fails, it's similar. That guy, Xuanzi, he failed twice, didn't he? Ultimately, with Mu En's help, he successfully condensed the second soul core and broke through to level ninety-nine.
By the way, you can also use the Dragon Pill for a forced breakthrough... Mu En used the Dragon Pill to forcefully condense his second soul core, didn't he? As Mu En's ancestor, Yu Yuanzhen has no reason not to succeed, right? But where can we find a Dragon Pill?
"Failure won't be a big deal, just a loss of some soul power."
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen felt reassured, sat cross-legged, and prepared to attempt condensing a soul core.
"Grandfather, what are you doing?"
"Condensing the soul core. I have some insights. Although I have no clue about the second soul core, I'm fifty percent sure I can condense the first soul core!"
Goodness, either success or failure, isn't that just fifty percent?
"What you are doing is incorrect. Condensing a soul core is just a theory and hasn't been tested yet. If something happens to you, what will happen to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Yu Yuanzhen nodded after hearing this. Kong was right. If he failed to condense the soul core and got injured, and a powerful enemy appeared at this time...
Just thinking about it made Yu Yuanzhen's scalp tingle. No, he couldn't take this risk yet! He wasn't afraid of death; reaching this level, if he couldn't see the view at level ninety-nine, he wouldn't be willing to die!
But, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan still needed him, and he couldn't afford any accidents now.
"My grandson, then what should we do?"
"Yu Luomian, your younger brother, isn't he at level eighty-nine? With his talent, breaking through to Title Douluo under normal circumstances is almost impossible..."
Kong said without batting an eye.
He still remembered how Yu Luomian treated him back then. How could he possibly forget such a thing?
Yu Luomian wanted to temper him well back then, didn't he?
Heh, now it's time to return the favor!
Yu Luomian: You little...
Yu Yuanzhen's mouth twitched, and he looked at Kong with a changed expression. This little guy sure holds a grudge! He still remembered things from so many years ago...
It seemed they had no choice but to let Yu Luomian endure this hardship.
Kong was right. Without a lucky break, Yu Luomian had reached his peak. It was impossible for him to break through to Title Douluo level.
Of course, if he absorbed a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, he could break through anytime. But giving a hundred-thousand-year soul bone to Yu Luomian felt like a waste to Yu Yuanzhen...
"Second brother, the seed you planted back then must be repaid today!"
"But, if you seize this opportunity, won't it be a fortuitous event?"
Many Soul Douluos are stuck at level eighty-nine, unable to break through to Title Douluo, and regret it for life...
