Chapter 5

"Strengthen the foundation, play to one's strengths and avoid weaknesses, these are the eight words I summed up, I call it the principle of spirit ring attachment. "

But how exactly should we go about it when choosing spirit rings for a martial soul it is mainly based on two points attribute and talent

The attributes of the soul beast you choose should be consistent with the martial soul itself and the function of the martial spirit itself just like a sword for example, its attributes can be wind, thunder, fire, etc., but talent is the function of this sword, which is sharp and can be used for slashing and stabbing.

Ideally both should be fulfilled to ensure maximum compatibility so every soul master should be a master of martial soul cultivation theory, because the process of cultivation is not just about constantly improving soul power, but also requires considering the growth and development of the martial soul's own talents and attributes but its impossible to always meet both and I gave up on that for the sake of my plans and health reasons.

The seventh ring will be the bridge to connect the two and complete my martial soul in its evolved form as for the last two in my case it being poison and snake which are the origin of my martial soul what I intended to do is to turn acquired into innate

It is for sublimation and foundation to see how far can I take my path obviously there will be the primary and secondary focus for comprehensiveness of the development trajectory and growth taking the role of the spirit ring as an example, this thing has a certain guiding effect on the growth of the martial soul, but it cannot essentially change the form of the martial soul like a plant is a plant no matter the soul ring.

With my qualifications improved this allowed me quickly cultivate to level 30 which a major check point in soul master cultivation where the martial soul will resonate with the soul master for the first time, and the power of the martial soul's bloodline will become active to further strengthen the martial soul.

This is also the main reason why one cannot break through higher levels unless their soul power level reaches level 30 before the age of 20. because after the age of twenty, the power of the bloodline has basically stabilized, and it is difficult to activate it through self-cultivation alone so one can basically see its importance and significance to reaching the top.

Given its special nature I intend to take advantage of it to complete preliminary transformation and help myself detoxify so the selection of third soul ring is of great importance and it must be of high enough quality to affect my martial soul together with my first two soul rings to produce the desired effect and mutate as it is impossible to complete the transformation in one go

While having dragon bloodline and evolving in to a dragon is great one must not forget my martial soul is a snake albeit with dragon blood which has been supplemented so the desired direction for the this mutation is jiao which isn't any ordinary creature but a type of scaled, hornless dragon, often described as a scaled dragon or a river-dwelling dragon, and sometimes associated with snakes.

It's considered a stage in a snake's transformation into a full dragon, requiring a "final thunder test" to ascend to the sky.

So my choice for the soul ring is quite special as we know it is easy to associate snake with poisons but not cure not to mention transformation from snake into dragon the repercussions like the forces it will offend and amount of attention it will attract so it can't be too obvious as the martial soul change due to the influence of soul rings one step at a time

My third soul ring comes from moon-patterned water snake which is not only a rare non-venomous snake but also possess the power of purification as poison and cure which can be a mini version of yin and yang that evolved all things which is helpful for my goal absorbing it soul ring not only grants me the soul skill moonlight blessing which restores mental strength and purify negative status this soul skills mainly uses water attribute soul power and the power of the moon along with soul power in the environment thanks to my third ring having the attributes of water , moon and spirit along with my other attributes and bloodline forming a balance with golden bloodline which allowed my martial soul complete its initial transformation due to resonance between the activation of bloodline and soul rings like completing a puzzle 

This is enough for me to detoxify with the help of my second and third soul skill which isn't a reason to give up my plan halfway as I don't want to do things half heartedly and leave a hidden danger in my martial soul bloodline but evolve it completely to improve its quality and lower limit plus reduce chances of mutation especially malignant ones during the process of cultivation

"From the perspective of cultivation, the process of cultivating soul power is boring and consumes mental energy. If you meditate on your martial soul during cultivation and let your martial soul participate, it will consume more mental energy, thus reducing the time for cultivating soul power. After all, if the soul power circulates more often in the body, it will feel bloated, painful, and numb."

"So, It is strongly suggested that when cultivating soul power in the future, don't just cultivate soul power, but also meditate on your martial soul all the time, so that it can cultivate and grow with you."

Personally at my age of 12 and reaching level 34 is more than enough to display and prove my talent with the current best configuration not to mention they are soul rings of high quality as they have higher requirements than ordinary as for me to even soul rings even if we consider their compatibility with my martial soul as I also need to take into account elemental relationship and balance to avoid ruining their compatibility with my martial soul to optimize its structure and bloodline so my efforts won't wasted and for nothing thanks to meticulous planning currently I'm focusing on developing talent as the main with attribute as the supplement to eliminate as much flaws and defects as possible.

Joining an academy wouldn't be so bad considering my background going to tiandou royal academy is my best choice it's not so much of what I can learn at the academy but more about connections and friends I would make as for romance let's leave it for my future self as they would be flocking towards me
