Douluo's Peerless Confrontation

Chapter 346: Continuous breakthroughs, the second soul core

"Let's just increase the soul power first, and then refine and consolidate it together." After careful consideration, Jing Chen made a decision. He didn't plan to absorb one and just spend some time consolidating it.
It's a bit troublesome to do this intermittently. It's better to be more direct and absorb a few more soul rings to directly increase the soul power to level ninety, and then spend time to consolidate it.
If you do this, the time required should be similar to that of intermittent consolidation. If it goes well, the time required may be shorter, which will save some time.
After absorbing the space mink soul ring, his soul power increased to the late level 87. The soul power in his body was quite stable, and it did not grow and become somewhat disordered and uncontrollable.
This also means that even if he continues to absorb soul rings to increase his soul power, it will not damage his foundation too much. When the time comes to consolidate, this effect can be completely eliminated.
After making the decision, Jing Chen immediately took action, starting with the time-based soul beast that was more than 9 years old. This was the time-based soul beast that he captured before meeting Di Tian, ​​and it was considered a top-quality soul beast.
He didn't exit the Space-Time Tower, but killed the soul beast inside. A jet-black figure appeared with some red soul rings.
Jing Chen sat cross-legged and began to guide the soul ring according to the steps of absorbing the soul ring, and began to absorb the time-based soul ring.
He was in the Time and Space Tower, and when he absorbed the soul ring, part of the soul ring's energy entered his body, while the other part overflowed and was absorbed by the barrier of the Time and Space Tower.
Jingchen had tried absorbing soul rings in the Time and Space Tower before. His second soul ring was absorbed in the Time and Space Tower, so he killed the soul beast to absorb the soul rings so simply.
With the absorption of the soul ring, Jing Chen can clearly feel that the power of time in the Space-Time Tower is becoming stronger. Although it is not a sudden increase, the increase is not small.
The growth of the power of time is what Jing Chen wants to see most, which is why he plans to add five time-based soul rings and four space-based soul rings to the Space-Time Tower.
It was easy for Jingchen to absorb a 10-year-old soul ring. Naturally, it was even easier to absorb a 9-year-old soul ring. In less than half an hour, he completed the absorption of this soul ring.
This is still half an hour in the Space-Time Tower. Outside, only ten minutes have passed. The speed is not unpleasant. At this speed, it only takes more than an hour to absorb a few soul rings.
After absorbing the soul ring, Jing Chen's soul power made another breakthrough, reaching the middle of level 88. Without pause, he unsealed the 9-year-old space soul beast, killed it, and absorbed it again.
He no longer greedily searched for 10-year-old space or time-system soul beasts, so he did not absorb the 10-year-old ones first, but started with the 9-year-old ones.
When the soul rings have the same age, the further the soul ring is located, the more powerful the soul skills produced after absorption will be. This is the strength gap caused by the soul ring position.
Therefore, Jing Chen puts the 9-year-old soul rings in the front to absorb, and puts the higher-aged soul rings in the back, so that after absorption, he can get more powerful soul skills.
The time it takes to absorb this 9-year-old space-based soul beast is similar to that of the 9-year-old time-based soul ring. It takes half an hour inside the tower and ten minutes outside.
If calculated in terms of external time, the time spent is actually less than the time it took to absorb the previous soul ring, because after absorbing the time-based soul ring, the time difference between the inside and outside has changed.
The time ratio between inside and outside has exceeded two, that is, one hour outside is equivalent to more than two hours inside. Jingchen's available time inside the tower has increased.
After absorbing this 9-year-old space soul ring, Jingchen's soul power did not break through to level 89, but was stuck at the peak of late level 88, unable to break through.
As the soul power increases, the energy required for promotion also increases. The energy of the soul ring for more than 9 years is not enough to support Jingchen's soul power to achieve the leap from 88 to 89.
Jing Chen began to add a soul ring to his sixth soul ring position. This time, what he killed was the 10-year-old time phantom wolf.
The seventh soul ring he attached was the time beast soul ring. The reason why he placed this oldest and best quality soul beast in the seventh soul ring instead of the ninth soul ring is entirely because of the seventh soul ring. Determining the strength of the martial soul's true form, it is natural to attach as powerful a soul ring as possible to the seventh soul ring.
After absorbing the seventh soul ring, Jingchen's soul power reached the peak of level 89, and he was only one step away from breaking through to level [-].
"Let's use the energy of the soul ring and soul bone to condense the second soul core." Jing Chen did not pause and killed the 10-year-old space three-tailed fox. The red soul ring floated in front of him.
While guiding the soul ring to be absorbed, he pressed the right arm bone provided to him by the Time Beast on his right hand and began to absorb the 16-year-old time-based soul bone.
The energy of the soul ring and the soul bone were injected into his body at the same time. One was the attribute of space, and the other was the attribute of time. He controlled the two different energies and injected them into his dantian.
At level 65, he had condensed his first soul core, which had dual attributes of ice and water, and was located in the upper dantian.
The soul core is an energy crystal that can be condensed after the energy in the soul master's body is rich to a certain extent. After condensation, the energy in the soul master's body will be sublimated.
Both the total amount and quality of energy will be greatly improved, and the recovery speed will also be greatly increased. The soul master's strength will naturally increase accordingly, and his combat effectiveness will be even better than before.
Usually when a soul master is promoted to a Titled Douluo, he will choose to condense his soul core, so that he can reach his strongest strength after being promoted to a Titled Douluo.
Of course, one can break through to the title without condensing soul cores, but such a breakthrough will not be as effective as those with condensed soul cores. The combat effectiveness will be thrown away by those title Douluo who have condensed soul cores.
Generally speaking, soul masters can only start to condense soul cores when they are over level 80, because at this time, the energy in their bodies is rich enough and has a tendency to become solid.
But everything is not absolute. If being over level 80 is not a necessary requirement for condensing soul cores, the soul power must be strong enough. Jingchen condensed his first soul core when he was over level 60.
His ability to condense soul cores at more than 60 levels can be regarded as breaking the record of the earliest soul cores condensed in the mainland and creating history. It can be said to be unprecedented.
Moreover, it is a dual-attribute soul core, which is also the only one in the mainland. No soul master has ever condensed dual-attribute soul cores before. They are all of a single attribute, which makes it easier to condense.
The difficulty of condensing dual-attribute soul cores is several times that of condensing single-attribute soul cores. Jingchen chose to directly condense dual-attribute soul cores instead of separately condensing them. The two single-attribute soul cores of ice and water also took a big risk. Risks are gathered with the mentality of failure or failure. Once he fails, he will be crippled by the backlash at best, or die at worst.
Taking such risks is also to condense a more powerful soul core. The difficulty of condensing a dual-attribute soul core is several times that of a single-attribute soul core. Similarly, its strength is also several times that of a single-attribute soul core.
The increase in strength brought by the ice and water dual attribute soul core is definitely stronger than the ice and water attribute soul cores combined. There is no doubt about this.
Although Jing Chen only has one soul core now, its effect is greater than the two soul cores of Ultimate Douluo.
When a soul master breaks through to a Titled Douluo, he will condense one soul core, and when he breaks through to an Ultimate Douluo, he needs to condense another soul core. Two soul cores are the symbol of an Ultimate Douluo.
The first soul ring does not have to be condensed, but if you want to break through to the limit, you must condense the second soul ring. Without it, you cannot achieve the leap from level 98 to level 99.
Like Xuanzi of Shrek Academy, the Poisonous Immortal of the Noumenon Sect has been unable to break through to the limit because he was unable to successfully condense the second soul ring and was stuck at the peak of level 98.
It is worth mentioning that without condensing the first soul core to break through to the Titled Douluo, it will be difficult to even break through to the Super Douluo, let alone hit the limit. There is no such thing as breaking through the limit.
Now that Jing Chen has broken through to a Titled Douluo, he naturally needs to gather his soul cores to break through, so that he can increase his strength to the strongest level, instead of becoming a half-hearted Titled Douluo.
Although he already has a dual-attribute soul core, even if he doesn't condense the second soul core to break through, his situation is equivalent to that of a Titled Douluo who condenses the first soul core. It can't be said to be half-assed.
But if he can pursue something better, he must pursue it. It is imperative for him to condense the second soul ring and break through to the title Douluo. No matter how difficult it is, he must do it.
The energy of the two attributes of time and space continuously converged into his lower dantian, which is where he condensed his second soul core.
The first soul core is in the upper dantian, and the second soul core is in the lower dantian. One up and one down can also achieve energy balance. At that time, the two soul cores can complement each other, achieving the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
In the original work, Huo Yuhao chose the middle Dantian when condensing the second soul core, but Jing Chen did not intend to do this. Due to different personal circumstances, the lower Dantian would be more suitable for his second soul core.
In the future, he will need to condense the third soul core when he breaks through the limit. He has other plans. Now, condensing the second soul core in the lower Dantian will not affect the concentration of the third soul core.
Having had the experience of condensing soul cores once, Jing Chen is no stranger to the manipulation of time and space attribute energy, and the process of harmonizing and condensing them together went relatively smoothly.
The main body of time and space energy gathered in his lower dantian is naturally not the soul bone and soul ring energy, but his own time and space soul power.
To condense the soul core, simply put, is to further condense one's own rich to solid energy, so that it changes from a semi-liquid and semi-solid state throughout the body to a pure solid crystal state gathered in the Dantian. This process requires not only one's own energy ’s participation also requires the assistance of external energy.
At this time, what assists Jing Chen in condensing his own time and space attribute energy is the time-based soul bone energy and the space-based soul ring energy.
Both of these energies are at the 10-year level. They are large enough to assist in the condensation of the soul core. The soul core has been condensed to nearly half, and there is no shortage of energy yet.
Nearly half of the soul core was condensed, and the situation that Jing Chen was worried about came. The energy of the first soul core interfered with the condensation of the second soul ring.
It was like two magnets with the same pole meeting and repelling each other. The repulsive force produced by the previously condensed ice water soul core made the nearly half-condensed space-time attribute soul core extremely unstable.
This is the difficulty of condensing dual soul cores. Not only do you have to work hard to condense the new soul core, but you also have to deal with the repulsion between the old and new soul cores.
Failure to condense the second soul core is often due to the rejection of the old and new soul cores. This is the most difficult part of condensing the second soul core. If it is solved, condensing the second soul core will not be a problem.
If it is not solved, the condensation of the second soul core will basically fail, and it will suffer backlash due to this, and there is a risk of going crazy, and in severe cases, the first soul core may even be broken.
Jing Chen began to try his best to control the first soul core and converge its energy, in order to minimize the impact of this soul core energy on the new soul core.
The second step is to speed up the condensation of the second soul core. It is not easy to control the energy of the first soul core. It is very energy-consuming. The longer the time is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for him.
He had to control the energy of the first soul core, but also concentrate on condensing the second soul core, doing two things at once. Both tasks were extremely laborious, which made it difficult for him to support himself.
His originally calm face was already covered with sweat. He was gritting his teeth and persisting. He was very focused and did not dare to be distracted at all. All his energy was spent on his two soul cores.
Yiyi waited nervously on the side, very anxious. It knew that Jingchen's current situation was quite bad. If he did not do it right, there would be big problems and it would be difficult to keep calm.
When it comes to condensing soul cores, Yiyi can't help much, so it can only worry on the sidelines. Perhaps the only thing it can do is to protect Jingchen at the right time.
At that time, it was when Jingchen failed to condense his soul core. With Yiyi's strength, it was still possible to forcibly control the energy in Jingchen's body that had gone berserk due to his failure to condense his soul core.
The process of condensation was indeed difficult, and he almost failed several times. Fortunately, Jingchen reacted quickly enough, adjusted in time, and pulled himself back from the edge of failure. It could be said that he had a narrow escape.
After several self-rescues, Jingchen successfully passed through the most difficult period of condensing the soul core. The dual attribute soul core concentration of time and space exceeded [-]%, the energy was strong enough, and it was stable enough.
Although the dual-attribute soul core of time and space has not yet been completely condensed, it already has the ability to compete with the dual-attribute soul core of ice and water.
Even if Jing Chen does not contain the energy of his ice-water dual-attribute soul core, his time-space dual-attribute soul core will no longer be so fragile and will not collapse due to the force of repulsion.
The subsequent cohesion was only a matter of time. However, Jingchen did not relax his vigilance. He still devoted himself wholeheartedly to ensuring that nothing went wrong.
From the beginning of the gathering to the end, it took a total of more than twelve hours, and nearly four hours had passed in the outside world. It was a long time, but not a long one.
With Jing Chen attaching four time-based soul rings, the time ratio between the time inside the Space-Time Tower and the outside world has now exceeded three. One hour outside, more than three hours have actually passed inside.
This was still the time ratio before he condensed the second soul core. Now that he has condensed the time and space dual attribute soul core, this time ratio will definitely increase further.
As this soul core condensed, his soul power also smoothly broke through to level ninety. As long as he absorbed one more soul ring, he could become a nine-ring titled Douluo.
The condensation of the second soul core had a relatively large impact on Jing Chen. His whole temperament became ethereal, with a sense of unreality.
The energy in his body is decreasing instead of increasing, and it is weakening back to zero. His strength seems to be regressing.
Of course this is not the case. His strength has definitely become stronger, but has been greatly enhanced. Although he has not yet obtained the ninth soul ring, his strength has already reached the extreme level.
Now he can be said to be an extreme Douluo, and he is also a relatively strong extreme, possessing terrifying combat power.
The reason why his breath returned to zero is because his strength has greatly increased, and he has become more subtle in controlling his own power, and has managed to contain all his energy without exposing it to the outside world.
"The condensation of this second soul core has pushed me to the limit and achieved an almost completely reborn change. I wonder what kind of changes will happen if I condense the third soul core?"

Jing Chen stood up. The torture just now did not make him physically and mentally exhausted. Instead, it made him energetic. He was more energetic than ever. He felt the changes in himself and showed a look of surprise.
He had thought that after he condensed his second soul core, his strength might reach the limit. But when the speculation turned into reality, he still felt a little agitated and couldn't control his excitement.
He even condensed the second soul core because he was thinking about the third soul core. This transformation of the condensed soul core is a bit fascinating.
