"Soul spirits are merely a transitional solution," Su Yu stated.
"Compared to soul spirits, Sun-Moon Hall has a far more direct and fundamental way to resolve the conflict between Soul Masters and soul beasts."
He paused for a moment before declaring:
"Human Soul Masters require soul rings from soul beasts to break through every ten ranks and continue their cultivation.
But our solution is simple—we will no longer absorb soul rings from soul beasts. Instead, we will create our own."
As he spoke, Su Yu's seventh soul ring shone brightly.
A myriad of colors flickered across its surface, revealing distinct traits that reflected his own abilities.
"My seventh soul ring—is a self-generated soul ring!"
A self-generated soul ring?!
If soul spirits were merely a curiosity, something new and intriguing, then the emergence of a self-generated soul ring was nothing short of earth-shattering.
The idea that a Soul Master could create their own soul ring?
Yan Shaozhe's expression darkened instantly.
Self-generated soul rings…?!
As Su Yu continued to explain the Innate Soul Ring, he couldn't help but recall the legendary deeds of Tang San from ten thousand years ago.
It was said that the Sea God himself had possessed a soul ring that wasn't obtained by hunting a soul beast. Instead, he had condensed it with the help of countless Blue Silver Grass.
Some of Shrek's scholars had studied this phenomenon and ultimately concluded that it was due to Tang San's partial soul beast lineage.
However, Su Yu's demonstration of his Innate Soul Ring completely shattered their conclusions.
Yan Shaozhe instinctively questioned whether Su Yu might also possess soul beast bloodline.
But almost immediately, he dismissed the thought.
After all, Su Yu was claiming that the Innate Soul Ring was universally applicable.
---
"By studying the fundamental essence of soul ring formation, I developed the Innate Soul Ring Condensation Method and incorporated it into my latest soul spirit cultivation system."
"With this cultivation method, not only does soul power growth accelerate, but a Soul Master's control over their martial soul also greatly improves. Upon reaching a major breakthrough at every ten ranks, a Soul Master only needs a small portion of a soul beast's essence blood to condense an Innate Soul Ring—completely eliminating the need to kill the soul beast."
As Su Yu laid out his vision for the soul spirit cultivation system, the entire Great Soul Arena fell into an unprecedented silence.
Everyone was listening intently.
This would completely overturn the entire cultivation system of Soul Masters!
This Su Yu—he was trying to defy fate itself!
---
"But only you have succeeded, haven't you?"
Yan Shaozhe struck at the core of the issue.
"Your method may theoretically be universal, but how many people will actually be able to master it? How many can truly follow the path you've envisioned?"
He had directly pointed out Su Yu's biggest flaw.
Su Yu remained composed.
"Getting started is not difficult—it's simply a matter of cultivating the right technique."
"In fact, this ties into another research project of Sun-Moon Hall—the development of Universal Cultivation Techniques."
Yan Shaozhe's heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly had the uneasy feeling that he had just unintentionally led Su Yu into revealing something even more astonishing.
---
"A cultivation technique, in essence, is a systematic method for refining soul power—far superior to the simple meditation techniques commonly used today."
"Instead of merely meditating, one can use a structured technique to increase their cultivation efficiency by several times."
"And the Universal Cultivation Technique Project aims to lower the entry barriers while maximizing efficiency. Once perfected, these techniques will be disseminated to society in real time."
---
Universal Cultivation Techniques?!
The moment Su Yu uttered those words, many present immediately understood the implications.
Sun-Moon Hall… What exactly are they planning?!
Were they truly trying to defy fate itself?!
If these Universal Cultivation Techniques were made widely available, it would cause an unprecedented upheaval in the entire Soul Master world—a complete reshuffling of power!
Almost everyone in attendance represented sect or academy factions, with very few independent individuals among them.
And for those factions, Su Yu's words carried the scent of revolution.
Universal Cultivation Techniques…?
Since there were Universal Cultivation Techniques, there were bound to be exclusive techniques, techniques with various attributes, and even higher-grade cultivation methods.
Once the Universal Cultivation Techniques were made public, the sects and academies that could quickly develop more efficient techniques based on its principles would gain a massive advantage in recruiting students and disciples.
And in this world, once one faction gained momentum, they would only accelerate further.
Eventually, this would lead to a complete reshuffling of the Soul Master world.
---
"The Universal Cultivation Technique is already near completion. All that remains is the final step—the experimental phase, where Soul Masters must practice the technique and use soul beast essence blood to condense a true Innate Soul Ring."
"And for that, we need Xue Di to join us."
"Although Xue Di is merely the ruler of the Extreme North, I believe that, given her status, even the Beast God Di Tian would be willing to cooperate with Sun-Moon Hall."
---
On the dueling stage, Xue Di had been listening carefully to everything Su Yu had said.
The Innate Soul Ring Condensation Method.
The Soul Spirit Cultivation System.
All of it was extremely tempting.
Although the Extreme North was a desolate region where few Soul Masters ventured to hunt soul beasts—resulting in minimal conflict—she was still a soul beast. The ongoing struggle between soul beasts and Soul Masters held a deep and fundamental significance for her.
As the ruler of a major soul beast habitat, she had an obligation to seek a future for her kind.
Su Yu's words had truly moved her!
And not just Xue Di—most of the people present could sense the sincerity of Sun-Moon Hall.
Compared to Shrek, Sun-Moon Hall was showing genuine commitment!
---
Yan Shaozhe's expression darkened.
He realized this, and that's why his expression grew extremely dark.
If Xue Di joined Sun-Moon Hall and collaborated to perfect the so-called Soul Spirit System, what would that mean for Shrek, the most authoritative presence in the Soul Master world?
"Hmph, your Sun Moon Empire and Holy Spirit Cult have been conspiring together, and just now, you were threatening to hunt down Xue Di. I bet you're still preparing for that, right? If Xue Di stays with Sun-Moon Hall, it would be like a sheep entering the tiger's den!" Yan Shaozhe sneered coldly, his soul power surging with evident impatience.
He was ready to attack!
Su Yu had already been anticipating this. As soon as Yan Shaozhe transformed into his red-golden phoenix and launched his soul skill, Su Yu activated his seventh soul ring, fusing his body with the Blue Silver Grass phantom.
"Seventh soul skill, Blue Silver True Body!"
"Fifth soul skill, Blue Silver Thunder Demon Overlord Body!"
A terrifying surge of thunderpower gathered inside the towering Blue Silver Emperor body. Countless lightning snakes formed, shooting like bolts of lightning toward Yan Shaozhe.
Su Yu continued to demonstrate his self-created soul skills.
With the Blue Silver Thunder Demon Overlord Body, his control over lightning and his resistance to it were maximized. He shaped the lightning into lightning spears, lightning orbs, and lightning whips, relentlessly attacking Yan Shaozhe.
The thunderclouds gathered, booming louder with each passing moment, expanding rapidly.
In his Spiritual Sea, the Condense and Gather runes glowed, focusing their power on the thunderclouds and drawing in the surrounding elemental energy to strengthen it.
The thunderpower in the clouds was being borrowed by Su Yu, who, as the Master of Thunder, effortlessly deflected Yan Shaozhe's attacks using only lightning.
"Zhong Liwu, don't interfere."
Jing Hongchen blocked Zhong Liwu, releasing his immense soul power without any concealment, forcing them to feel his pressure. Numerous soul cannonballs had already formed around him, and with ten level-9 soul cannons now fused into one, Jing Hongchen had entered his most powerful state.
Zhong Liwu glanced at him with caution.
Long Xiaoyao, seeing that Zhong Liwu was being held back, didn't rush to act. Instead, he watched the fierce battle between Su Yu and Yan Shaozhe unfold.
A 79th-level Soul Saint fighting against a 97th-level Super Douluo!
This battle would surely be recorded in history.
