"This isn't right."
Electrolux stared blankly at the additional strands of faith power appearing in Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness.
He was bewildered.
"This isn't scientific."
You can just gain faith by writing a theory?
He had long known Su Ming's situation was special, that he might easily sense the power of faith, but he never expected it to be this special.
Ultimately, Su Ming's acquisition of Body faith, Spirit Soul faith, and Forging faith all happened before Electrolux resided in Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness. He hadn't witnessed how Su Ming obtained those faiths, only saw the process of Su Ming obtaining the Evil Spirit Master faith, and assumed it was his own doing.
"This is called a special constitution."
Su Ming chuckled.
This was what Electrolux had told him before.
Special constitution – this was also something Electrolux found relatively easy to accept, as there were indeed many special constitutions on the Saint Demon Continent, and Electrolux himself was the Son of Light.
So, me being the Son of Faith is also quite reasonable, right?
"Ah, still lacking in experience after all." Electrolux sighed.
He accepted reality and began pondering the feasibility of the idea Su Ming had initially proposed.
"Using Spirit Core faith to assist in Spirit Core condensation can only make your condensation more stable and smoother; it cannot provide direct assistance."
"I understand. That's more than enough."
What Su Ming feared most were all sorts of unexpected complications.
No complications would be the best help.
"Good, I will help you activate this faith when the time comes."
Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
His future self was researching information, his past self was obtaining status for him, and he himself also had other research.
He lowered his head, looked at the messy drafts on the design table before him, scanned the various formations, and revealed a heartfelt smile.
"This is true forging. This is the use of Spirit Tool technology development."
Spirit Alloys can integrate into a Spirit Master's body, and the Core Formations fused with spirituality almost merge with the Spirit Master's Martial Soul.
When condensing a Spirit Core, why not borrow this external force?
In fact, the principle behind the Spirit Power Refiner that Su Can used to break through to the ninth ring was also based on this point.
If it was about accumulating foundation, then the Spirit Master doing it themselves was fine. But for this kind of pure bottleneck breakthrough, using external objects to break through was completely acceptable.
"Next, is to forge a set of Battle Armor."
According to his plan, he would have two sets of One-Word Battle Armor.
The first set would be purely auxiliary Battle Armor, assisting him in condensing his second Spirit Core, to be discarded after the Spirit Core condensation was complete.
The second set would be his true Battle Armor.
"The technology is already perfected. What's lacking are the corresponding Spirit Alloys and fine-tuning of the formations."
Spirit Alloys were simple; just forge them. Su Ming had long mastered the corresponding formulas.
What he still needed to solve was the fine-tuning of the formations.
Spirit Core condensation is different for every Spirit Master, so it's impossible to copy directly.
Similarly, if a Spirit Master's progress and changes are too significant, it will also cause changes in their Spirit Power characteristics. Su Ming has only perfected the theory of the Spirit-Condensing Battle Armor for now; he hasn't yet customized the formations based on his own specific situation.
The reason, naturally, is that he still has room for improvement, and significant improvement at that!
Su Ming took out a wooden box. A rich, flowing aura of light emanated from the box.
When he opened the box, resentment surged into the sky. Deep crimson aura of resentment and killing intent instantly filled Su Ming's research room.
If Electrolux hadn't intervened, this killing aura probably could have burst out of the research room.
"Elder Yi, you remember this spirit bone, right?" Su Ming said with emotion.
"A Supreme Secret Art Spirit Bone."
Years ago, when Su Ming brought Du Busi to Shrek City to demand an explanation, and after a great battle, Du Busi obtained this supreme Secret Art Spirit Bone from Mu En. It was synthesized using Secret Art Spirit Bone technology, using nine spirit bones that should have existed as the base to carry the energy of their respective hundreds of spirit rings, creating nine Secret Art Spirit Bones, which were then synthesized into one Secret Art Spirit Bone.
A Three-Star Secret Art Spirit Bone.
In terms of age, after such accumulation, this spirit bone undoubtedly reached the hundred-thousand-year level.
But its resentment surged to the heavens, its bloodlust and killing aura fused into its origin. Fusing with this spirit bone would almost certainly turn one into an Evil Spirit Master.
In fact, according to Du Busi's speculation, this Three-Star Secret Art Spirit Bone was, from the very beginning, something a Spirit Master devised to become an Evil Spirit Master.
"Secret Art Spirit Bones are used to amplify Spirit Power. This Secret Art Spirit Bone has reached the hundred-thousand-year level; the Spirit Power amplification might even reach one hundred percent."
This was a constant amplification and was permanently effective.
With the help of this Secret Art Spirit Bone, Su Ming's Dual Spirit Core condensation would undoubtedly be much smoother.
However, this spirit bone had a problem.
Because its essence was resentment and killing aura, even Electrolux couldn't purify it away.
To fuse with this spirit bone without being affected by the killing aura, Su Ming needed to prepare a light-attribute spirit bone that matched it.
But, a light-attribute torso bone, also over a hundred-thousand years... where could such a spirit bone be found?
Sea God Pavilion.
"Hahahaha..."
While Yan Shaozhe and the others were celebrating, a loud shout interrupted their laughter.
"Yan Shaozhe, get your ass out here!"
Du Busi stood above the Sea God Pavilion, his loud shout echoing throughout Shrek City.
He could hear the 'hahaha' from far away. What the hell are you laughing about, you little bastard?
Du Busi could guess with his butt. why Yan Shaozhe and the others were so happy.
But it didn't matter.
He, Su Ming's teacher, wasn't even worried about Su Ming's Spirit Core condensation issue.
Dual Spirit Cores weren't something to worry about; what needed worrying about were Triple Spirit Cores, that would be unprecedented.
As for the confidence behind not worrying?
Wasn't he here to get it today?
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, the faces of the Pavilion Elders turned ugly.
They flew out from within the Golden Ancient Tree, rising into the air to face Du Busi.
"Du Busi?" Xuan Zi said coldly, "What are you doing at our Shrek?"
"Shrek needs to fulfill its promise."
Promise?
What promise?
"Heh, sure enough, important people have short memories. Last time, when this old man came knocking, you still owed me a promise."
"What do you want?"
Xuan Zi frowned.
He remembered now; back then, Mu En did promise Du Busi a favor.
"Mu En is dead, right?"
Du Busi's single sentence made the atmosphere, which had just eased, tense up again.
Yan Shaozhe was furious.
"Du Laoguai, if you've come to provoke our Shrek, Shrek isn't afraid of you!"
As Yan Shaozhe spoke, the Golden Ancient Tree also emitted a glow, as if responding to him.
"Heh, this old man is just confirming. Now that he's dead, you can fulfill the promise to me."
"What do you mean?"
Yan Shaozhe suppressed his anger.
He was already faintly sensing that what Du Busi sought was not going to be good for them.
"I want the torso bone Mu En left behind after his death. His torso bone is at least at the hundred-thousand-year level, right?"
As soon as Du Busi spoke, he instantly ignited all the Pavilion Elders present.
"Wishful thinking!"
"Impossible!"
"The promise Teacher made you back then had limits! It was to support the Body Sect once, and you said it would benefit the Spirit Master world!" Yan Shaozhe glared angrily at Du Busi. "What does you wanting my Teacher's spirit bone have to do with the Spirit Master world?"
"Investing once can also be considered supporting the development of my Body Sect, right? As for benefiting the Spirit Master world..."
Du Busi scanned the crowd and asked a question in return.
"My disciple, Su Ming, Ancestor of Forging. Him fusing with this spirit bone – does that benefit the Spirit Master world or not?"
