"If they're willing to join, train them according to your plan for now. Don't give them resources like Immortal Herbs yet. We might end up clashing with Shrek Academy in the future, and we don't know which side they'll take."
"Understood."
Ning Fengzhi nodded. In fact, he had the same idea. If they were willing to follow Ma Yinglong for now, so be it. He didn't want to train powerful enemies for the Sect.
"It's been two years since I last saw Rongrong and the others. I'll make a trip to Sea God Island in a few days. After that, I probably won't need to leave the Sect until the Ice God set is successfully integrated."
Ning Fengzhi smiled, completely at ease about his son's future.
"Alright, you can arrange your own affairs. We can't really interfere anymore."
Just as Ning Bei was about to leave the Council Hall, he was called back again. He turned back in confusion and saw Chen Xin looking at him with a conflicted expression, as if he had something to say.
"Bone Grandfather, just say whatever it is directly."
Hearing this, Chen Xin seemed to make up his mind. His gaze slowly became firm, completely erasing the slight sense of shame in his heart.
"Bei Er, Grandfather wants to ask you about information regarding breaking through to the Limit Douluo level."
After hearing Chen Xin's words, a hint of realization appeared in Ning Bei's eyes. It had been several years since Chen Xin reached level 98 with the help of Pills. It was understandable that he now wanted to strive for the world's limit.
"Yes, Bone Grandfather, you should have condensed a Soul Core when you became a Titled Douluo, right?"
When a Soul Master's Soul Power is compressed from a liquid state into a solid state, it is stored in the Soul Master's Dantian, becoming a Soul Core. As the Soul Core continuously rotates, it absorbs external Soul Power to be used by the Soul Master, thereby enhancing the Soul Master's recovery and combat abilities. This is the fundamental reason for the power of Titled Douluo.
Chen Xin had never heard the term Soul Core before and seemed a bit confused. After thinking for a moment, he cautiously asked:
"Are you talking about the Soul Power vortex that automatically forms in the Dantian when breaking through to Titled Douluo?"
"Exactly, that's it."
"How is that related to breaking through to Limit Douluo?"
Chen Xin felt a slight relief upon learning that he possessed a Soul Core, but then a hint of confusion arose again. Upon hearing that Ning Bei was about to impart knowledge about breaking through to Limit Douluo, Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi also perked up their ears. Who could guarantee that they wouldn't need it later?
"Breaking through to Limit Douluo requires shaping a second Soul Core in the Dantian."
"Hiss, a second Soul Core?"
Although he didn't know the specific method of operation, this didn't prevent Chen Xin from feeling a chill just thinking about it. If two Soul Cores clashed within the body, wouldn't that result in death and the dissipation of one's being?
Ning Bei also understood Chen Xin's concerns. He had no intention of forcing Chen Xin to break through; he just needed to explain what he knew clearly.
"Bone Grandfather's Spirit is the Seven Kill Sword. The Soul Power of those with weapon-type Spirits is generally biased towards the Yang Attribute. So, Bone Grandfather, your first Soul Core is likely also Yang Attribute."
"Hmm, is there anything I need to pay attention to in that regard?"
Seeing the two people, Bone and Sword, who had always shielded him from the wind and rain when he was a child, now listening to his explanation like elementary school students, Ning Bei felt a moment of melancholy.
"There are two methods for condensing a second Soul Core. One is Isotopic Resonance, and the other is Yin-Yang Balance."
"Isotopic Resonance, as the name suggests, is to condense another Yang Attribute Soul Core on the foundation of Bone Grandfather's Yang Attribute first Soul Core. This way, the two are unlikely to clash, thus helping you break through to the Limit Douluo level."
"Yin-Yang Balance is much more difficult. It involves constructing a Yin Attribute Soul Core outside of the Yang Attribute Soul Core, causing them to merge and achieve a state of balance. This method can easily damage the foundation or even lead to death if not done carefully."
After Ning Bei finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment. The three of them had different expressions, seemingly contemplating which method was more suitable for themselves.
After a while, Chen Xin looked up at Ning Bei again.
"Bei Er, which method of breaking through to Limit Douluo is stronger? And which method did you use?"
Ning Bei wasn't surprised that Chen Xin would ask this. After all, who wouldn't want to try and become a stronger existence?
"Bone Grandfather, solitary Yin doesn't grow, and solitary Yang doesn't last. Everyone understands this principle. A Limit Douluo who breaks through using the Yin-Yang balance method is naturally a more powerful existence, but the difficulty is incomparable."
"As for the structure of my Soul Core, I used the method of fusing Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Dual Soul Cores."
Hiss.
As Ning Bei spoke, gasps of surprise immediately echoed through the hall. The fusion of two completely different attributes was already enough to make their heads spin, let alone two attributes that, in their understanding, were completely incompatible.
Seeing their expressions, Ning Bei revealed a smug smile.
"Sword Grandfather, Bone Grandfather, and Father, have you forgotten the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
Hearing this, the three of them's eyes immediately lit up.
"Hmm? You mean..."
"That's right. I constructed the dual Soul Cores according to the structure of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. I wasn't just acting recklessly."
"Good kid, you really are something. If it were me, this old bonehead, I wouldn't even dare to think about it, let alone try. You actually copied the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into your body? Aren't you afraid of exploding on the spot?"
Gu Rong stroked his beard and glared as he spoke about Ning Bei's actions, even complaining that he had acted secretly. If anything had gone wrong, they might not even have had the chance to collect his body.
Ning Bei scratched his head sheepishly, looking at their clearly reproachful eyes and said:
"Didn't I manage to succeed by chance? And defeating two opponents of the same level also proves the correctness of my choice."
"The most important point is, I wasn't completely without confidence to act recklessly. You should know that my Pill Tower is a fire attribute Spirit, and the Ice Heaven Snow Woman is an ice attribute Spirit. The fact that these two Spirits can coexist was enough for me to try and take a gamble."
After thinking about it, the three of them also felt that there was indeed some truth to it. Anyway, Ning Bei had already done what he needed to do, and dwelling on it further was meaningless.
However, Ning Fengzhi still pointed at his son and chuckled, scolding him a few times.
"You brat, if your mother knew about this, she'd definitely make a fuss with you."
He imagined Huo Linglong standing with her hands on her hips, looking at him angrily, muttering non-stop:
"I gave birth to you just so you could experiment on yourself? You little bastard, do you have any conscience left?"
Ning Bei immediately shivered and quickly shook the image out of his head.
"Anyway, the matter is already in the past, so let's not trouble Ms. Huo. I believe Grandfather and Father have the same idea, right?"
Looking at Ning Bei's threatening gaze, the three of them simultaneously raised their eyebrows, pointing at the little rascal and shaking their heads.
"So there are people you're afraid of, huh? Every dog has its day."
"Tch, there's no one in the world who's afraid of their old mother, only those who respect their old mother. What do you know?"
"Heh, you brat, are you subtly implying that this old man is an orphan?"
Hearing Ning Bei's "Bei-style" remark, Gu Rong immediately rolled up his sleeves and started stroking his beard and glaring. Who are you talking about here, kid?
"Haha, I didn't mean that. Bone Grandfather, don't be too sensitive. You guys can research the Soul Core issue yourselves. I'm going to rest."
