Any soul skill, even a self-created one, generally enhances soul power control as long as it involves soul power manipulation.
Typically, this feature wouldn't require special mention.
But the "Breath Concealment Technique" is different.
Not only does it demand high soul power control due to its nature of concealing one's presence, but it also serves as a step-by-step guide to a more scientific and superior method of soul power manipulation.
If Titled Douluo can command their soul power effortlessly due to extensive experience...
Then, to put it simply, everyone has their unique understanding of soul power control, or in less polished terms, everyone is self-taught.
The "Breath Concealment Technique," however, is like a professionally trained technique.
'No wonder the system included it in the beginner's package.'
You Chen speculated inwardly.
By continuously practicing the "Breath Concealment Technique" and gradually ingraining it as instinct, one's soul power control naturally improves.
If soul power control were graded similarly to martial arts techniques—uninitiated, initiated, small success, great success, and perfection—the "Breath Concealment Technique" would align with these stages.
When the "Breath Concealment Technique" reaches small success, so too can your soul power control elevate to that level during its execution.
Achieving great success would quickly enhance your soul power control to that standard.
According to You Chen's estimation, great success in soul power control is typically only achievable by Titled Douluo.
Having cultivated for twenty-nine years, never missing daily soul power training, You Chen's soul power control level was merely at small success.
Practicing the "Breath Concealment Technique" now didn't benefit him as much as when he was six, when his control was "uninitiated" and his soul power use was rudimentary.
Yet, by updating his methods using the more scientific techniques from the "Breath Concealment Technique," he felt his control improving.
Soul power control and the "Breath Concealment Technique" seem to have a mutually reinforcing relationship.
This sudden realization gave You Chen an idea for the task reward "Sudden Insight."
To capture this fleeting inspiration, he used this "special tool" without hesitation.
Instantly, countless insights about the "Breath Concealment Technique" flooded his mind.
It felt as though he'd undergone months or even years of deep cultivation, or perhaps it was just a fleeting thought.
Before his thoughts fully processed, his soul power began to circulate naturally.
The barrier at the "small success" level was almost instantly breached, and under the operation of the "Breath Concealment Technique," You Chen's presence became entirely void.
For a brief moment, the technique even touched the great success level, though he quickly fell back.
With the clarity brought by "Sudden Insight," You Chen realized it was due to insufficient accumulation.
Typically, one would either need another year or two of consistent practice to achieve a breakthrough or rely heavily on methods like "Sudden Insight" to force progress. Otherwise, even reaching the next step would be illusory.
He quickly made a decision.
Or rather, "inspiration" guided him to the optimal choice.
Taking advantage of the remaining time from "Sudden Insight," he practiced his first, second, and third soul skills in his training room without relying on soul rings...
Leveraging the accumulation from century and millennium soul skills, he finally touched a higher level.
A perfect doppelganger of himself emerged.
Then, both simultaneously opened their mouths.
A beam surpassing the sound barrier shot forth, colliding violently in mid-air.
Boom!
Even though most energy canceled out, the residual shockwave blew the roof off with a bang.
As the energy fluctuations settled, clarity returned to You Chen's eyes.
But his expression still held a hint of daze.
Raising his hand, You Chen watched as a dragon-shaped form of soul power danced in his palm.
"According to my grading, have I reached great success in soul power control?"
After the initial shock, You Chen shook his head.
He realized it wasn't "Sudden Insight" alone that had such an exaggerated effect, jumping his soul power control to a Titled Douluo level in one go.
It was the result of years of accumulation, combined with the advanced control insights from the "Breath Concealment Technique" and the inspirational state.
Even with ten instances of "Sudden Insight," without the daily accumulation, such achievements wouldn't be possible.
Overall, the "Breath Concealment Technique" is to soul power control what soul rings and skills are to self-created techniques. Mastering it to perfection is easier than achieving perfection in soul power control.
Although You Chen's soul power control reached great success first, he estimated that only after the "Breath Concealment Technique" reaches perfection would his control catch up, thanks to its hidden effects.
"And then there's the soul skill."
With a thought, a transparent phantom emerged from his body, forming.
However, before it could take shape, it dissolved and shattered.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, You Chen's eyes flickered with a dark flame, and he directly utilized the "Mind Splitting Soul Refinement Technique."
This time, the phantom solidified instantly, looking exactly like You Chen, indistinguishable at a glance.
The "Mind Splitting Soul Refinement Technique" isn't just about multitasking. With his inherent pride, You Chen wouldn't dismiss the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's "Distraction Control" as trash without good reason.
Since it allows multitasking, why not unify multiple minds?
This line of thinking led You Chen to create the ability to enter a super-focused state surpassing 100%, merging multiple minds into one.
This essentially represents two directions for developing the "Mind Splitting Soul Refinement Technique."
Controlling more parallel consciousnesses and gradually refining their precision to near perfection.
Focusing on the quality of controlled consciousnesses, breaking the 100% focus barrier, aligning each parallel consciousness towards a focused state.
Regardless of the path, it allows practitioners to rapidly enter focus without distraction.
These routes are merely schools of thought; their specific levels are still evaluated by the "number of minds."
Currently, You Chen is at the four-mind level, with an average precision of 90% compared to his normal state.
By merging four minds into one, entering a super-focused state, he can reach 200% focus.
This enables accomplishing tasks otherwise impossible under normal circumstances.
Not only does it improve soul power control, but it also enhances understanding of the martial spirit's essence power.
Together, You Chen can preliminarily use a simplified version of his fourth soul skill without relying on soul rings.
As for the fifth soul skill...
The adaptation of the martial spirit's maw makes it easier.
The ability to use "Starlight Avatar" without soul rings exceeds other soul skills...
In some sense, it can be considered a different soul skill.
After some thought, You Chen named this type of skill to distinguish it—self-incarnated soul skill. Meaning, it's fully integrated and can be used like a self-created soul skill.
Under his intensely focused gaze, the clone's form began to shrink.
Soon, with continuous adjustments, it transformed into a small version of You Chen.
Poof—.
The clone exploded suddenly.
"Oof..."
You Chen let out a low groan, rubbing his forehead.
Even with super focus, the lack of proficiency was too much, overloading him.
Yet, despite the headache, You Chen's lips curled into a playful smile.
"Having this ability opens up more convenient possibilities."
