“I can definitely feel it now. With a little more practice, we should be able to do what you said, to have Xiao Hong gather all the spiritual energy within the mecha.”
"Mm." Xu Yuan nodded.
Makino sighed.
"I never imagined that after a lifetime of researching mecha, I would end up walking the path of the intangible overcoming the tangible."
At Xu Yuan's suggestion, he regained his motivation to improve his soul power and prepared to transform Xiao Hong into something similar to Xu Yuan's Five Elements Spear Spirit.
Xiao Hong herself is a product of the soul spirit merging into the mecha. Xiao Hong is the name of Mu Ye's original soul spirit. Because of this, the fusion between his martial soul and himself could not be improved, resulting in a rift that prevented him from breaking through level 95.
Xu Yuan suggested that he fuse the mecha with himself, but the mecha itself was too large and had a physical form, so there was no possibility of fusion between the two.
Xu Yuan did not give up and came up with this path for him.
The mech is made into a spirit, and then contracted back to it.
Just like Jue, Jue was originally a long spear made of jade and silver of the first grade of a thousand forgings. Under the technical guidance of the Spirit Transmission Tower, it became a spirit, broke free from the constraints of the physical body, and became a spiritual body of the spirit.
It has lost its original form, yet it still possesses one.
With the power of a Soul Master, it is easy for it to condense its original form, because it inherits all the spirituality, that is, all the structure, of the original form.
It's similar to how a normal soul beast spirit inherits all the genes and bloodline abilities of a soul beast, only without a physical body in reality.
If Xiao Hong's entire mecha is transformed into a spirit and then re-contracted, the spirit's level will likely break through immediately, at least equivalent to a 100,000-year spirit ring, and there's even a chance it could reach the level of a ferocious beast.
If it succeeds, it could be seen as a stroke of luck.
"I told my uncle about the inducement before I came. My uncle assessed the condition of your mecha, and it was originally caused by Xiao Hong integrating into the mecha. Over the years, it has long been integrated into one. In addition, with your current work, it can be regarded as a real soul beast being made into a soul spirit, with little loss."
If a god-level mech could truly be transformed into a spirit from nothing, the Spirit Pagoda itself would probably go bankrupt due to the immense losses involved. It's not that the transformation is some kind of heaven-defying feat, but rather that the technology has too many flaws; it's essentially using spiritual energy to imbue an inanimate object with spirit-like characteristics.
However, Makino's case is a special one.
Mu Ye had been at this level for nearly twenty years, and the creation of this god-level mecha must have been before he reached level ninety-four. It is estimated that he integrated Xiao Hong into it before he became a titled Douluo. At that time, he did not realize his problem and focused on improving the mecha. It was only when he could not break through to level ninety-four that he realized the problem.
The key lies in the integration and nurturing that has taken place over so many years.
Otherwise, directly integrating the soul spirit into the mecha, and then inducing the mecha to create a new soul spirit that re-forms a contract with the soul master, would be far more profitable.
Of course, even if it takes ten or twenty years to upgrade a ten-thousand-year-old soul to one hundred thousand years in this way, it doesn't seem like a bad deal.
For Makino, the only loss is that he has been stuck at level 94 for too many years and doesn't know if he will have another chance to push to the limit.
"Hahaha, the limit?"
Mu Ye didn't care at all when he heard Xu Yuan's complaints.
"I've possessed a four-word battle armor for so many years, and my understanding of the limit level is much higher than you can imagine," Mu Ye said with absolute confidence.
"If Xiao Hong can return successfully, I will definitely reach my limit within ten years!"
Chapter 197 Xu Yuan's Worries (Please Subscribe!!!)
Xu Yuan hadn't expected his teacher to be so confident.
However, it doesn't seem to make any mistakes.
Mu Ye's soul power is stuck at level 94, which does not mean that he cannot reach the Limit Douluo level.
With the existence of the four-word battle armor, he is capable of reaching the limit level, and he can comprehend the power at that level.
That's how it was in the era of battle armor.
Some Limit Douluo were even able to break through because they first acquired the Four-Word Battle Armor, and then broke through 'naturally'.
Most Limit Douluo also advance further thanks to the existence of four-word battle armor.
Even the existence of every quasi-god must have relied on the Four-Word Battle Armor.
By using battle armor to unleash power to a higher level, one can better comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, thereby elevating one's own realm and reaching a higher level.
Xu Yuan pondered this carefully and suddenly realized that what the teacher said wasn't so exaggerated after all.
ten years
"What level will I be in ten years?" Xu Yuan wondered.
Ten years later, Xu Yuan will be twenty-four.
Will I be able to reach the Limit Douluo level by then?
Currently at level 49, if one wants to reach level 99 in ten years, one needs to increase their soul power by an average of five levels per year.
Xu Yuan smiled helplessly.
It's highly unlikely.
Under normal cultivation conditions, it would be difficult for him to maintain a rate of four levels per year, and five levels per year would be virtually impossible.
Unless there is some special opportunity.
"A special opportunity," Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering some of the information he knew.
He may not be able to reach his limit within ten years, but he will still strive towards that goal.
Teacher, I won't fall behind you!
One month.
Xu Yuan stayed in Tiandou City for a month.
His soul power has not yet broken through; he is still at level 49.
Although it seems that the rapid improvement during the Spirit Split at the Sea God Pavilion did not leave any lasting problems, and the bottleneck at level 50 has become even looser, it has been four and a half months since the Spirit Split, and there has been no breakthrough yet.
If things continue like this, how can we possibly push our limits within the next ten years?
Xu Yuan couldn't help but wonder if cultivation after level 50 was really that difficult.
He had heard this conclusion from many elders: cultivation after level 50 would be much more difficult than before level 50.
However, this is only a comparative statement. Xu Yuan knew that many legendary soul masters' cultivation speed was not slower than before after level 50.
For example, his teacher Yun Ming's cultivation speed after level 50 was definitely not slow, and before level 90, his speed was definitely not lower than four levels per year.
"So, I must be lacking in experience."
Practicing alone in seclusion provides too little stimulation.
"My mental strength has also improved much more slowly. In this month, I've only managed to increase it by a hundred points, finally reaching nine thousand, but ten thousand is still a long way off." Xu Yuan realized this and knew he couldn't rush it.
However, improving one's strength slowly is not something that can be achieved simply by knowing that one cannot rush it.
"The efficiency of spirit ascension here in Tiandou City has also decreased, so it's time to find another place."
This vacation was actually only half a month long. Xu Yuan was on leave for the last month and a half in Tianhai City.
Upon arriving in Tiandou City, he was still on leave.
Now, he dialed Wu Changkong's number again to ask for leave once more.
Tianding City.
Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy.
"Senior, Teacher Zhao."
Xu Yuan shook hands with Li Zhilong and Zhao Quan, who came to greet him.
"Haha, junior, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly." Li Zhilong seemed very happy.
"So, how long do you plan to stay in our college?"
"Half a month."
Li Zhilong pondered for a moment and nodded silently.
“Half a month is enough time for communication,” Zhao Quan said with a smile.
Xu Yuan's purpose in coming here was simple: to discuss with the Soul Masters and Mecha Pilots of their academy who were proficient in spaceship technology, and to explore the direction of mecha-based spaceship technology.
Of course, it's also good to continue to appreciate the wonders of this observatory.
"Then I'll be troubling you seniors at the academy for the next two weeks."
“I’ve already contacted some mentors for you, and they’re very interested in this exchange,” Zhao Quan said.
Star Observation Deck.
Returning here again, Xu Yuan was filled with many emotions.
This observatory held extraordinary significance for him.
His visualization technique gained a soul because of the observatory.
To be precise, it means that we have a perfect direction and a path to give soul to the visualization method.
Even now, the star map in his spiritual sea remains a simple self-contained cycle, unable to resonate with the stars in the universe.
More than three months have passed since Xu Yuan last came here, and he has certainly made improvements to it.
Despite the numerous tasks, due to the accelerated pace of the dream space, Xu Yuan's cultivation in each task was actually no less efficient than if he had focused solely on cultivating that one task in reality.
Three months later, he still hadn't found an opportunity to resonate with the stars in the universe.
