"Your Highness Crown Prince, I wonder what brings you here," Su Wen looked towards Xue Qinghe, questioning with curiosity.
He was somewhat curious about the purpose of the other party seeking him out this time.
"I heard from our teacher that you've made new achievements in the leap level absorption of a Soul Ring. I've actually been wanting to meet you again for a while. I didn't expect you to be practicing with Poison Douluo for so long," Xue Qinghe said.
He then straightened his face and added, "Also, didn't I ask you to call me Big Brother Xue? "
He appeared very approachable, without any sense of superiority, but rather very friendly.
"Big Brother Xue," Su Wen said.
Only then did Xue Qinghe smile.
Su Wen secretly pondered the intentions behind what the other had just said.
Leap level absorption of a Soul Ring?
When did I ever expose my research in this area?
Su Wen was initially puzzled, then looked at Ning Fengzhi, understanding what Xue Qinghe meant by his own achievements.
In fact, it wasn't Su Wen's research achievement, but rather Ning Fengzhi understanding Su Wen's situation, then conducting research. During the process, they had several discussions which led to some progress. During these discussions, Su Wen also helped Ning Fengzhi solve most of the problems, so Ning Fengzhi didn't entirely attribute the credit for this achievement to himself.
"In fact, most of it is Uncle Ning's research. I just provided some ideas," Su Wen said modestly.
Xue Qinghe waved his hand, indicating that Su Wen didn't need to be modest. He also informed Su Wen of the significant contribution Ning Fengzhi had made.
"However, when it comes to leap level absorption of a Soul Ring, I do have another achievement," Su Wen, after careful consideration, decided to reveal his Soul Ascension Method in front of Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe.
"Oh?"
Indeed, both Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe showed curiosity about Su Wen's mentioned additional achievement.
"Big Brother Xue, ever since you transferred me to the research institute, I have been studying the Soul Power Circulation Route," Su Wen said.
Xue Qinghe listened attentively to Su Wen's words.
Ning Fengzhi also listened as Su Wen narrated.
"During my recent study under Poison Douluo, I gained a deeper understanding of the human meridians. By using drugs to understand the interaction between Soul Power and Spirit Masters, I simulated some effects with the Soul Power Circulation Route and made new discoveries."
At this point, Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe had not yet grasped which aspect Su Wen's additional achievement referred to. However, they could infer that Su Wen's achievement was achieved through the means of the Soul Power Circulation Route, reaching some kind of goal.
"I have developed a set of operational routes which I call the Soul Ascension Method. It can mitigate the impact of Soul Power from Spirit Rings on the body when absorbed by Spirit Masters. Simultaneously, it can enhance the absorption efficiency of Spirit Rings. It can also be said to enhance the transformation of Martial Spirits through Spirit Rings," Su Wen finally revealed his Soul Ascension Method and its effects.
Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe were momentarily stunned.
Leap level absorption of a Soul Ring!
It was a breakthrough in this aspect.
Moreover, it was achieved through the Soul Power Circulation Route.
To be able to reduce the pressure of Spirit Ring Soul Power on oneself during absorption? And also enhance the effect of Spirit Rings on the transformation of Martial Spirits?
They both understood how important such effects were for Spirit Masters when absorbing Spirit Rings.
It can almost be said that there's no need for deliberate physical conditioning. Learning this Soul Ascension Method can spontaneously enhance one's ability to absorb Spirit Rings to the limit.
Of course, it only works for Spirit Rings below ten thousand years old.
For Spirit Rings above ten thousand years old, if one wishes to absorb them beyond their level, they must first address the pressure brought by the Soul Shock of over-level absorption.
Undoubtedly, this involves the realm of Spiritual Power, which is not easily resolved.
However, even if it's only effective for Spirit Rings below ten thousand years old, this Soul Ascension Method will undoubtedly be pursued by all Spirit Masters.
"However, this Soul Ascension Method is quite complex," Su Wen also reminded the two.
Upon his right hand, his Book Martial Spirit emerged, and on the blank pages, a human figure appeared, with densely packed meridians visible.
Merely seeing the distribution of these meridians made Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe inhale sharply.
Honestly, Su Wen's ability to explore so many meridians surpassed their imagination. What's more, Su Wen even organized their relative positions and depicted them on paper.
No wonder he could achieve something in the research of the Soul Power Circulation Route.
With just this skill alone, he stands out on the Continent.
After the densely packed meridians emerged, Su Wen's Soul Power on the pages of the book appeared as a set of blue threads, starting from the Dantian, flowing through various parts of the body along the meridians. At each point, it would undergo complex operations before moving on to the next part.
Su Wen deliberately slowed down, and the entire process lasted for three minutes before he fully demonstrated the Soul Power Circulation Route.
Three minutes, one hundred and eighty seconds.
Even so, every second, Su Wen's Soul Power would circulate between five or six meridians, sometimes even dividing and then merging at certain points.
In just three short minutes, Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe were completely astonished.
They could naturally perceive the speed of such Soul Power circulation.
Xue Qinghe being a Level 70 Spirit Saint, and moreover, adept in auxiliary skills and mastering the Heart Separation Control technique, with a head Spirit Bone equipped with an Angelic Set, possessing formidable Spiritual Power could clearly tell how hard this is.
However, precisely because of this, they understood very well just how intricate the Soul Power Circulation Route Su Wen had just displayed was.
Now, as they tried to recall the entire route, they couldn't even reconstruct one-third of it completely. And that's just in terms of the general direction.
If one had to circulate Soul Power within the body, they would need to distinguish between the meridians used by the Soul Ascension Method and others, and also locate the meridians.
Instantly, both of them felt their scalps tingling.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe admitted it was premature to draw conclusions just now.
Even if this method were disclosed, how many would be able to successfully practice it?
And even if they managed to practice it successfully, it would probably hinder their normal cultivation.
At this moment, instead, they were even more eager to inquire from Su Wen how exactly he developed this Soul Ascension Method!
Of course, looking at the intricate distribution of meridians, it was a task that seemed impossible for humans to accomplish.
"In the research of this Soul Ascension Method, it's likely that Dugu Bo also played a significant role," Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe speculated inwardly.
"Xiaowen, how do you intend to handle this Soul Ascension Method?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
Su Wen's gaze shifted between Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe, and he replied, "I plan to establish a faction and will need Uncle Ning and Big Brother Xue's help. The Soul Ascension Method will also be announced to the entire continent when the faction emerges."
"Hmm?"
Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe expressed puzzlement and confusion about Su Wen's idea of establishing a faction.
They couldn't understand why Su Wen would want to do this.
"What kind of faction do you plan to establish? What is its purpose?" Xue Qinghe frowned and asked.
"She" was aware that Su Wen was a member of the Spirit Hall. What was he intending to do by breaking away independently at this time?
