Dugu Bo was stunned.
A Yin was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast?
A Yin was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast!
He was shocked.
This Blue Silver Emperor was far too lacking in the imposing manner a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast should have, causing him to forget that A Yin was originally a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
"Hmm, wasted two months' time."
After absorbing A Yin's spirit ring, Su Ming let her continue her rebirth, left her a seed, and then paid little attention to her afterwards.
Now, after two months, A Yin's cultivation had actually increased quite a bit, reaching the hundred-year level.
Even for the Blue Silver Emperor, the cultivation speed before the thousand-year level was extremely fast, especially here at the Ice Fire Two Eyes.
Of course, even at the hundred-year level, A Yin still hadn't regained her sentience.
She would need at least thousand-year cultivation to gradually recover some of her spirituality and begin to have independent consciousness again.
Before that, she could only operate on instinct.
This was the weakness of the Blue Silver race.
"Need to raise her cultivation level faster."
Although Su Ming had the Spirit Core method, he still needed to put on a show.
He released his spirit rings.
Purple, Purple, Purple, Black, Black.
The five spirit rings were so enviable.
Dugu Bo had seen them many times, but was still amazed by such a spirit ring configuration.
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Dual Phenomena Symbiosis Domain!"
Su Ming enveloped the entire valley containing the Ice Fire Two Eyes with his personal domain.
He drew upon the energy within the valley and channeled it through his fifth spirit ring into A Yin's body.
His fifth spirit ring came from A Yin, yet it wasn't entirely A Yin's, because Su Ming had based the spirit ring's origin on the Blue Silver Emperor Iron.
This was his separation from A Yin.
However, while he was separated from A Yin, the spirit ring was not. Strictly speaking, there was a significant connection between the two.
Using the fifth spirit ring, Su Ming easily channeled the power obtained from his Dual Phenomena Symbiosis Domain into A Yin's body.
In her previous life, A Yin had fused with the Blue Silver Emperor Iron and had also tempered her resistance to ice and fire powers. In this life, being reborn in the Ice Fire Two Eyes was simply endowed by nature.
Three days.
Su Ming mobilized the energy within the valley, transformed it, and channeled the essence into A Yin's body, finally awakening her sentience.
A Yin's cultivation now reached the thousand-year level, possessing a rudimentary intellect.
Su Ming, who controlled the Spirit Soul faith, used points of Spirit Soul faith to enlighten A Yin, causing her rudimentary intellect to directly recover to its peak intelligence.
"How long has it been?"
Above the Blue Silver Emperor, A Yin's illusory figure materialized. She stared blankly at Su Ming's face and asked somewhat uncertainly.
It seemed Su Ming hadn't changed much.
"Only two months."
Hearing Su Ming's words, a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.
Recovering to thousand-year cultivation in just two months, and even awakening her sentience early? This was equivalent to. a mental storm for her.
Her worldview was impacted.
So cultivation could be this fast?
Two months for a thousand years, that would be six thousand years of cultivation in a year, accumulating to a hundred-thousand-year cultivation in less than seventeen years!
Hisss~
That's faster than human Spirit Masters cultivate.
Su Ming, unaware of what wishful thinking A Yin was engaged in, interrupted her thoughts.
"You were a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast before. I want to know how the Spirit Power within your body operated after you broke through to the hundred-thousand-year level."
A Yin came back to her senses. Hearing Su Ming's question, she said very naturally, "The Spirit Core."
"Spirit Core?"
Dugu Bo stepped forward, his tone somewhat excited.
Just from the name, he felt he had gained something.
Su Ming signaled for Dugu Bo to calm down.
"How does the Spirit Core operate?"
"Spirit Power collapses. The Spirit Power that should have condensed into a solid state retains the fluidity of a liquid..."
Dugu Bo was extremely excited.
This was it!
A Yin's answer directly to open up the two main meridians.
The Poison Pill!
Wasn't this the Poison Pill Method?
No, not quite.
The Poison Pill Method wasn't exactly like this.
Dugu Bo didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment.
It was Su Ming who spoke up, summarizing Dugu Bo's chaotic thoughts.
"So, Spirit Master cultivation is also like this: first gaseous Spirit Power, then liquid Spirit Power, and finally liquid transforming into solid. However, the drawback of the solid state is too great. Once the Spirit Power truly solidifies, it becomes a problem for the Spirit Master to mobilize their own Spirit Power."
"Breaking through to Titled Douluo is about solving this problem."
"In this era, Titled Douluo rely on their Martial Souls, on opportunity provided by fate, on sudden epiphanies, using their respective methods to advance the quality of their Spirit Power yet retain fluidity, thus promoting to Titled Douluo. This method might lie in the Martial Soul."
"However, besides that, there actually is a universal method, which is the Spirit Core method of Spirit Beasts."
Su Ming's summary made everything click into place for Dugu Bo.
"Right!"
Exactly.
Su Ming fell into thought.
He had an epiphany.
This wasn't an act; he truly had an inexplicable insight while summarizing.
He had already organized the words beforehand, but when he actually spoke them, he received a new touch.
"Perhaps, the methods of the Titled Douluo in Douluo 1 can help the 'me' in Douluo 2 delay the process of Spirit Power solidification."
Correct! Since this era had no Spirit Cores, yet Titled Douluo could all find ways to avoid Spirit Power solidification while continuing to improve its quality, then he. also be able to use it for reference!
"It's a bit late to research this now; the preparations for the Dual Spirit Cores are already sufficient. Let's leave it at that for now. Before the next Spirit Core, the third Spirit Core, I must comprehend something substantial. That way, my third Spirit Core can be delayed as much as possible. If it can be delayed until level 70, that would be perfect."
Douluo 2's Su Ming actually didn't have many fortuitous encounters.
He had only absorbed two spirit rings beyond his level.
However, from now on, his opportunities would increase. First was the hundred-thousand-year spirit bone obtained from Mu En, followed by the Martial Soul's Second Awakening, and then attempting a hundred-thousand-year fifth spirit ring.
These were all major boosts.
The condensation level of his Spirit Power would reach an outrageous degree.
"Hey, kid, that brain of yours... a born theory grandmaster."
Dugu Bo watched Su Ming's epiphany from the side, full of envy.
He had an epiphany just like that?
He didn't know the content of Su Ming's epiphany, only that after Su Ming woke up, he immediately began summarizing the theory of Spirit Core condensation.
That's right, he directly started writing.
Since he'd already had the epiphany, why bother pretending with you?
Anyway, you don't know that what I comprehended wasn't the Spirit Core method.
Of course, Su Ming held back. He didn't directly summarize the complete Spirit Core method, only outlining the framework.
Even so, it made Dugu Bo regard him as a genius.
"Take a look, see if there's anything to add."
Su Ming handed the summarized framework to A Yin for her to review.
To Su Ming's disappointment, A Yin couldn't provide more help.
He then looked at Dugu Bo and began discussing with him.
The two human Spirit Masters discussed for several days, further refining this framework.
A Yin watched from the side, sinking into melancholy.
"Senior is truly talented, your ability in theoretical research is profound and well-hidden."
"You're not bad either, kid."
After revising and editing, three months passed.
