Douluo: Make a gun first

Chapter 72: Compressing Soul Power
Pain knows no time, and the same is true for cultivation.

It could be three months, or it could be four months. As Shen Feng refined the water and fire dragon crystals, the soul power in his body was completely infected by the extreme water and fire elements. Even his dantian turned into a color of half red and half blue.

At this time, Shen Feng had already reached the capacity limit of his dantian.

Today, he is just a small level 40 Soul Master. Even if he has full innate soul power, without obtaining the fourth soul ring, the size of his dantian cannot exceed that of the most ordinary Soul Master.

What's more, he had already completely refined the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, and coupled with the fact that he had refined so much water and fire elemental power, the soul power in Shen Feng's body had long exceeded the limit that the Soul Sect could contain.

According to Shen Feng's own estimation, if he absorbs the fourth soul ring now, he will be able to obtain the fifth soul ring immediately.

With a dantian at the Soul Master level and storing the soul power of a Soul King, the fact that he has not exploded and died is enough to prove the toughness of Shen Feng's body.

But the biggest trouble is not this, but that until now, Shen Feng still cannot break free from the force field formed by the water and fire dragon crystal.

If he couldn't escape, it would prove that all his previous efforts were in vain. Even if the water and fire elements had stopped eroding him, he still couldn't return to land.

In other words, Shen Feng has now been sealed here by the power of the water and fire dragon crystal.

If Shen Feng doesn't want to die of old age in this kind of hellhole, then he can only find another way and change the direction of his efforts.

Since the size of Dantian is fixed, then compress the soul power, compress the gaseous soul power into liquid soul power, or even compress it into a solid state.

In this way, a Dantian of the same size can naturally accommodate more soul power, and higher quality soul power can naturally be exchanged for more powerful power.

However, compressing gaseous soul power into liquid soul power is not an easy task.

Firstly, due to the limitation of the soul master's realm, the gaseous soul power in the dantian is insufficient. Even if one works himself to death, it is simply impossible to condense a trace of liquid soul power.

These are the results of Shen Feng’s own experiments back then.

As a time traveler, influenced by many online articles in his previous life, how could Shen Feng not have thought about compressing his soul power and building a more solid foundation in order to be invincible at the same level and fight across levels.

What's more, he was born with full soul power. Even if a higher density of soul power would slow down his cultivation speed, he firmly believed that he would not fall too far behind others.

But conjectures are just conjectures. Reality is always more cruel than theory, otherwise Yu Xiaogang would have been famous all over the world long ago.

For some things, if you don’t reach that level, you will never be able to see the scenery of that level.

When he was at the first-ring soul master realm, Shen Feng secretly tried to compress his soul power, but he simply couldn't do it.

After asking his parents, he realized that the amount of gaseous soul power in his dantian was insufficient and it was impossible to compress it into liquid.

At least the amount of soul power at the Soul King level cannot do that.

Unwilling to give up, Shen Feng went to ask the strongest person he could contact at that time, Soul Saint Flanders.

Only then did he realize that the soul power in the Soul Saint's body was only between gaseous and liquid states, and had not formed true liquid soul power.

Don’t ask. The answer is that if you can’t measure it, you can’t compress the so-called “quality”.

It was not until he met Dugu Bo, the Nine-ring Titled Douluo many years later that all of Shen Feng's doubts were resolved.

It turns out that liquid soul power is the symbol of Soul Douluo, while solid soul power is the symbol of Titled Douluo.

The reason why Soul Sage will experience a period of weakness when using his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul Avatar, is because the semi-liquid soul power in his body is not durable.

You should know that once a soul master uses his martial soul's true body, the first to sixth soul skills will have no cooldown and can be used at will.

With such huge consumption, how could he not be weak?
On the contrary, when a soul master reaches the eighth-ring soul douluo realm, all the soul power in his body is transformed into liquid, and he has a more sufficient soul power supply, so the so-called weak period will naturally disappear. When they reach the ninth-ring titled douluo realm, they will fight for three days and three nights at any time. If they want to escape, they can even travel thousands of miles and still maintain a certain combat effectiveness.

This is precisely because their soul power is a higher level of solid soul power, which can support them in high-intensity battles for several days.

After all, when a Soul Sage uses his seventh soul skill, his martial soul avatar will be weakened for a week. Without more efficient solid soul power, wouldn't a Titled Douluo lose half his life when he uses his ninth soul skill?
However, Shen Feng is currently only at the realm of a three-ring Soul Master, and the amount of soul power stored in his body is at most that of a 50-level pseudo-Soul King.

But don’t forget that outside his body, there are two huge energy sources, water and fire dragon crystals, which are constantly replenishing him.

Recalling the method of refining soul power that he had obtained from Dugu Bo, Shen Feng immersed all his consciousness in his Dantian. He carefully mobilized the gaseous soul power in his Dantian, using it to form a cyclone.

With Shen Feng's ability to control soul power, this step is easy to accomplish.

The cyclone slowly formed. If it was a quasi-Soul Douluo at level 80, with the help of the huge soul power infusion when absorbing the eighth soul ring, it would be easy to condense liquid soul power at this time.

But Shen Feng couldn't do that, after all, the gaseous soul power in his body was too little.

Therefore, he could only stabilize the cyclone while dividing his attention to refine the power of the water and fire dragon crystals. He had to do two things at once and concentrate on it, in order to achieve a long-term goal and condense the initial liquid soul power through slow grinding.

The truth is simple. The process of condensing gaseous soul power into liquid soul power is actually exactly the same as the formation of planets in the universe.

Dantian is the universe, the rotating cyclone is the galaxy that has not yet formed, and those gaseous soul power molecules are like the dust of the universe.

As the cyclone rotates, the gaseous soul power molecules collide with each other, and larger soul power molecules are formed.

If the strength is too weak, the Dantian will not be able to withstand enough toughness and will contain too few gas molecules, and the probability of their collision will drop sharply.

In this way, it is impossible to form true liquid soul power.

At this time, Shen Feng continued to refine the power of the water and fire dragon crystals, which was to continuously transport gaseous soul power molecules into his dantian, increasing the probability of their collision.

This method is extremely dangerous. After all, Shen Feng's Dantian has a carrying limit, while the power of the Water and Fire Dragon Crystal is unlimited for him.

Using the finite to deal with the infinite, Shen Feng at this moment is like a reservoir with limited carrying capacity.

It is necessary to fill the reservoir with water while controlling the reservoir's carrying capacity and releasing water, and filtering out some silt in the process.

If Shen Feng is not careful, he will be like those reservoirs that have accommodated too much flood water, and the dam will collapse and he will fall down here in an instant.

So, be careful and cautious in everything.

Time passed by unknowingly, and no one knew how many days and months had passed. Just when Shen Feng felt that he could not hold on any longer, the gaseous soul power in his body finally showed signs of condensing.

The cyclone in Dantian slowly became viscous, and the gaseous soul power molecules were compatible in pairs and in groups of four.

As more and more soul power molecules gather, the density of soul power becomes higher and higher, and the light ones will rise, and the heavy ones will sink.

Ding-dong-

Suddenly, Shen Feng seemed to hear the sound of water drops falling.

A drop of liquid soul power finally broke away from the cyclone and fell below the dantian because it was too heavy.

The next moment, more and more liquid soul power formed, and it actually began to rain liquid soul power in Shen Feng's dantian.
