Through the twelve zodiacs, Tang San perfected the details of the nose, ears, mouth, tongue, hair (nervous tissue), hands, arms, feet, waist (including the six viscera), heart, skeleton, and skin in the "Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Method 2.0."
Additionally, he incorporated the chests and backs of Fan Niu and Fan Ma.
Moreover, the hundred ontology martial soul possessors collected by the Spirit Hall also helped Tang San refine the details of more body parts, leading to the evolution of the "Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Method 2.0" into version 3.0.
At version 3.0, the Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Method already encompassed the structure of all human organs and tissues. It couldn't be further improved and had reached the limit of human cultivation.
To improve efficiency further, a stronger evolution of the human body is necessary. Otherwise, one must condense a corresponding spirit ring after condensing the Qi and blood golden core and inscribe a more efficient energy circulation circuit discovered or researched in the future.
In addition to the "Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Method 3.0," Tang San also developed another body cultivation method: "Ontology Art."
This is not just a body forging technique for ontology martial souls; all spirit masters, and even ordinary people with Qi and blood, can practice it to comprehensively enhance their physical qualities.
However, it doesn't condense jade bones, create divine treasures, or forge golden muscles.
Yet, within this "Ontology Art," Tang San devised a set of theoretical skills similar to the true form of the martial soul armor that he demonstrated after fusing rings: the Martial Soul Bone Armor True Form.
Drawing inspiration from the first soul skill of the Pig Zodiac's skeleton and combining it with the characteristics of other ontology martial soul parts, one can cultivate a powerful ontology. This involves integrating the martial soul completely into the bones, then gradually infusing it into the internal organs, brain, spinal cord, eventually covering the muscles, and finally penetrating the skin to form the Martial Soul Bone Armor True Form!
Tang San's fusion ring-born true form martial soul armor required high configurations of spirit rings and skills, making it uncommon. However, the Martial Soul Bone Armor True Form is relatively simpler, though still demanding, requiring at least a Spirit Saint level and the possession of a true form martial soul to cultivate.
When Bibi Dong obtained Tang San's "Ontology Art," she practiced it immediately. She found that it didn't greatly enhance her strength but helped circulate her Qi and blood to areas usually inaccessible, making her body more perfect and improving the conversion efficiency between Qi and blood and spirit power.
The theory of the Martial Soul Bone Armor True Form, however, astonished Bibi Dong. After practicing the "Ontology Art," she began experimenting.
"At least it elevated my strength to a level close to a god." At that moment, Bibi Dong, centered on the Death Spider Emperor, exhibited the Martial Soul Bone Armor True Form. She appeared as if she wore a purple-black armor with golden spider webs flowing across her chest, covering her entire body, and adorned with a white spider pattern.
Tang San wasn't entirely sure about the exact enhancement level, but with the Martial Soul Bone Armor True Form's attachment, Bibi Dong's lower half would no longer transform into that bulbous spider form, making her appear quite valiant.
However—
Tang San still found the original martial soul attachment state more intriguing.
"If I use both martial souls simultaneously, I should briefly reach a god-level state," Bibi Dong said, dispersing the bone armor true form of the Death Spider Emperor. She felt the attribute energy of her two martial souls, describing the scenario of using them together. "At that time, the God Realm will likely sense it. Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to use it."
"So, you mean my theory about the Martial Soul Bone Armor True Form is correct?" Tang San asked, wearing a confident smile.
"It is indeed correct, but the requirements for the practitioners are quite high," Bibi Dong replied. "The training of 'Ontology Art' is simple enough that ordinary people, once they know the key points, can use it to strengthen their bodies. However, the Martial Soul Bone Armor True Form is much more difficult. Although Spirit Saints can start practicing it, that's merely the foundation. It demands a great deal from one's spiritual power, soul power, and Qi and blood. Ordinary spirit masters might need to reach the level of a Titled Douluo to successfully cultivate it."
"However, the benefits of successful cultivation are evident. It can enhance combat power so much that even a Level 91 Titled Douluo could contend with a Level 97 or 98 Titled Douluo."
"Additionally, perfecting the fusion of the martial soul with the body can deepen a spirit master's understanding of their martial soul, accelerating their cultivation at the Titled Douluo level."
"Overall, this technique can significantly boost the combat power of the Spirit Hall."
"What kind of reward would you like?" Bibi Dong inquired.
Tang San shook his head. "No reward is necessary. I could only develop this technique thanks to your command to gather a large number of ontology martial soul possessors. Without them, I couldn't have compiled all those ontology martial souls in just one year."
The ontology martial soul possessors, after solidifying their foundation, also experienced accelerated cultivation speed. This made the people of the Spirit Hall realize that ontology martial souls have innate talents—if the body is strong and the age is under thirty, during the cultivation phase, the cultivation talent is quite impressive.
Other sects and families might notice this as well, given that they were also searching for ontology martial soul possessors when the Spirit Hall was collecting them.
They might not recognize the true advantages of ontology martial souls, but the fast cultivation speed alone is enough to make them pursue this path.
"You're too modest. Others might never manage to develop such a supreme body-cultivation technique that directly leads to the Titled Douluo level," Bibi Dong said, having learned many new terms from her conversations with Tang San. She smiled slightly and then called for Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Currently, four Titled Douluos in the Spirit City were under Bibi Dong's command: Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Mo Xiong, and Gui Bao. Among them, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were the most valued due to their martial soul fusion technique and their long-term loyalty.
"Greetings, Your Holiness!" they said in unison upon entering the Pope's Hall, each placing a hand across their chest and bowing slightly.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, you have followed me for many years. I have seen your hard work and contributions," Bibi Dong said deeply.
"It is what we should do," Chrysanthemum Douluo replied, somewhat excited, knowing that such words from the Pope meant a reward was forthcoming.
What would it be?
Wealth? Power?
They had joined the Spirit Hall for these two things and had already attained them. If there was anything else they desired, it would be spirit bones or other treasures to enhance their cultivation, or perhaps even the semi-divine items they had glimpsed before: the Throne of Wisdom and Spirit.
Now that the Holy Son was also here, could it be another spirit imprint throne?
Impossible... but what if!
Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but be filled with anticipation. Ghost Douluo, not one for words, also showed signs of excitement.
