—------------------—
Soon, Liu Lei's figure appeared at the research institute.
"Student Liu Lei greets Education Committee Member Meng, Bai Baoshan, Zhi Jiaowei, and Master Shi." The student named Liu Lei respectfully saluted Shi Quan and the others.
"Liu Lei, come here and summon your Martial Spirit." Shi Quan beckoned to Liu Lei.
Liu Lei nodded, and two brilliant yellow spirit rings appeared beneath his feet.
"Gu Yuena." Shi Quan nodded to Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena gestured with her eyes, and the Armored Mountain Pig obediently ran towards Liu Lei, who instinctively took a step back.
However, Shi Quan steadied him, "Don't be afraid, feel it carefully."
The next second, the Armored Mountain Pig slammed into Liu Lei, whose body trembled violently. To his horror, the Armored Mountain Pig's figure instantly merged into his body.
"Absorb the power, don't panic." Shi Quan's calm voice sounded in Liu Lei's ear.
Only then did Liu Lei gradually calm down, slowly sitting down cross-legged.
Everyone present focused their gaze on Liu Lei.
Time passed minute by minute. Suddenly, a strong energy fluctuation erupted from Liu Lei. A purple spirit ring, at least a full circle larger than a normal spirit ring, suddenly rose from beneath him. Moreover, as it rose, his original two spirit rings seemed to dim considerably.
"This fluctuation is actually so much stronger than an ordinary thousand-year spirit ring?" The Three Great Committee Members were surprised.
"Roar—" A low, long roar sounded from Liu Lei's mouth.
"Roar—" Almost the next second, another excited roar followed.
Liu Lei's newly acquired purple spirit ring shone brightly, his entire body became ethereal for a moment, and then a gray shadow emerged from his chest and landed in front of him.
With four claws on the ground, it was precisely the Armored Mountain Pig from before.
"What is this?" Liu Lei looked at the soul spirit in front of him in astonishment, immediately at a loss.
A hint of excitement also appeared in Shi Quan's eyes, "Bai Baoshan, it's troubling."
Bai Baoshan understood Shi Quan's meaning upon hearing this, stepped forward, and beckoned to Liu Lei, "Liu Lei, release your Third Soul Skill and attack me."
Liu Lei was stunned for a moment. Looking at the expectant gazes of the people around him, although his heart was full of doubts, he still activated the spirit power within his body and poured it into his spirit ring.
"Apologies, Education Committee."
As he spoke, the Armored Mountain Pig in front of Liu Lei suddenly turned around and came to Liu Lei's front. Immediately after, both the person and the pig seemed to pause. A powerful Aura suddenly erupted from Liu Lei, and his Martial Spirit seemed to merge with the Armored Mountain Pig. Liu Lei stomped his feet fiercely, and his entire figure rushed towards Bai Baoshan like a cannonball.
Spirit Ability, Mountain Pig Charge.
With a bang.
Liu Lei's figure stopped steadily in front of Bai Baoshan.
As a defense-type Spirit Douluo, Bai Baoshan's defensive capabilities naturally needed no explanation. How could Liu Lei, who had just broken through to Spirit Elder, possibly shake Bai Baoshan?
But the power Liu Lei displayed still made Bai Baoshan's eyes light up.
"What exactly is this?" Liu Lei's mind moved, and he instinctively leaped backward. The Mountain Pig soul spirit had already appeared beneath his feet, carrying him as he galloped quickly.
"Stop, I still need to conduct other tests and examinations." Shi Quan said to Liu Lei.
Immediately, Liu Lei and the Armored Mountain Pig stopped. Liu Lei dismounted from the pig, his face filled with unconcealed excitement and joy.
After a simple sensation, he clearly felt the benefits that the Armored Mountain Pig brought him. This was a great opportunity for him!
Shi Quan raised his hand and went forward simultaneously with Zhuang Zhou, placing their hands on Liu Lei's body. After a round of sensing, Shi Quan finally nodded in satisfaction and looked at Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena also stepped forward, placing her hand on Liu Lei's body. Compared to Shi Quan, as soon as Gu Yuena's hand landed, Liu Lei felt a terrifying pressure Attack, instinctively wanting to resist, but in front of Gu Yuena, he had no power to resist. Liu Lei only felt as if his body had completely turned into a sculpture, unable to move a single iota.
The Armored Mountain Pig beside him also had a look of terror, trembling constantly.
However, Gu Yuena's examination did not last too long. After retracting her right hand, her eyes also held a hint of tenderness, "We have created history."
Upon hearing this, Shi Quan's face also revealed a proud smile.
After more than a year of effort with Gu Yuena, the method of soul spirit had finally succeeded!
Only Shi Quan understood the hardships involved.
He had, after all, underestimated the existence of soul spirit as such a special spiritual body. If it weren't for Gu Yuena's assistance, let alone a year, even two or three more years, Shi Quan couldn't guarantee success.
However, the final outcome was good. Although the time exceeded his budget a bit, it was successful in the end.
According to Shi Quan's feeling, the soul spirit he had created now was more complete than the soul spirit in the Early Stage of Douluo Dalu 2.
The soul spirit itself is an independent existence, capable of Cultivating on its own like a Spirit Beast, equivalent to another new birth of a Spirit Beast.
After the soul spirit voluntarily merges into the Spirit Master's body, the soul spirit and the Spirit Master become one. The Spirit Master's growth can also, to a certain extent, bring faster improvement to the soul spirit. Both are in an equal state; the soul spirit cannot harm the Spirit Master, and vice versa.
If the Spirit Master dies, the soul spirit can survive independently.
Depending on the soul spirit's age, the soul spirit can bestow multiple spirit rings.
Just like the Armored Mountain Pig soul spirit in front of them, it can also bring a thousand-year spirit ring to Liu Lei.
"This is only the first success. The process still needs to be simplified, and the success rate also needs to be guaranteed." Shi Quan nodded, took out his notebook, and recorded all his recent insights one by one.
"Little Brother Shi, could you please introduce the soul spirit to us in detail?" After seeing Shi Quan finish his work, Xue Qinghe was the first to ask.
"soul spirit..."
Shi Quan briefly explained the current situation of soul spirit to the Three Great Committee Members and Xue Qinghe.
Everyone's expressions completely changed when they heard that a soul spirit could evolve multiple spirit rings.
For Spirit Masters, if they possessed a soul spirit, their strength would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced at the same Rank.
If the soul spirit method were perfected, it would be a revolutionary existence for the entire Spirit Master's world.
If such a theory were to spread, it would be hard to imagine what terrifying level of influence Shi Quan would achieve in the Spirit Master's world.
"Big Brother Xue, the initial creation of the soul spirit has been successful. Although the success rate has not been specifically tested yet, based on current data, I can guarantee it's above 90%. As for the Fusion of Spirit Masters and soul spirits, the specific number of spirit ring evolutions, and how many soul spirits one person can merge with, all these require time to research."
"To perfect the soul spirit system, there are still many, many things to do. I need the cooperation of the academy and the Empire."
Xue Qinghe excitedly said, "Don't worry, the Empire will fully cooperate with the investigation and data collection."
"Big Brother Xue, after you return, please help me hold a soul spirit theory conference in the name of the Empire. The time will be set for one month later, and the location will be near Sunset Forest. At the conference, I plan to conduct a soul spirit experiment with one hundred slots. The Empire will have fifty slots. Star Luo Empire, Spirit Hall, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will each have eight, and the remaining eighteen will be distributed to other forces."
"Ask them to screen personnel who need to Break through their Bottleneck and have not yet absorbed a spirit ring to participate in the experiment. Their spirit power Rank must be below Spirit Saint. Participants must volunteer. If these forces do not have enough experimental personnel, the Empire can fill these slots. The list of participants must be submitted half a month in advance, as I also need to prepare."
"No problem!" Xue Qinghe's eyes lit up. The fifty slots for the Empire offered considerable room for maneuver. He could definitely gain a large wave of support by using these slots.
Soon, Xue Qinghe discovered a problem and asked, "Since soul spirits are transformed from Spirit Beasts, for one hundred slots, and only half a month to prepare one hundred suitable Spirit Beasts, isn't the time a bit short?"
"I will solve the problem of the Spirit Beasts; there's no need to worry. You only need to sort out the list."
As for this one month, Shi Quan would also not be idle. With the initial success of the soul spirit, he would next try to simplify the soul spirit method so that it could be spread, and at the same time, he would try to increase the success rate of the soul spirit method as much as possible.
After discussing the soul spirit theory conference, Xue Qinghe and the Three Great Committee Members also left one after another.
After Xue Qinghe left, he quickly became busy.
Before the theory conference, momentum naturally had to be built.
This theory conference involved the entire Spirit Master's world. In addition to the eighty-two slots already allocated by Shi Quan, the remaining twenty slots also needed careful consideration.
"Your Highness, Tang Yin has disappeared." When Xue Qinghe was extremely busy, the people monitoring Moon Pavilion sent news of Tang San again.
"Disappeared?" Xue Qinghe frowned slightly. After being busy with Shi Quan's soul spirit theory, he had forgotten about Tang Yin.
"Continue to keep an eye on Moon Pavilion. If Tang Yin reappears, report it immediately."
Xue Qinghe instructed. In his opinion, the most important thing now was the soul spirit theory conference one month later; other matters could be postponed.
Soon, the next day, news about Shi Quan's upcoming soul spirit theory release one month later began to spread rapidly from Heaven Dou City.
Everyone was undoubtedly curious about the unfamiliar term "soul spirit."
It wasn't until a week later that the Heaven Dou Empire explained the term "soul spirit."
Replacing spirit rings, surpassing spirit rings!
These eight short words immediately stirred up a huge wave in the entire Spirit Master's world.
At the same time, news about the soul spirit experiment slots also spread among many forces.
Regarding these experiment slots, there were many different opinions among the various forces.
After all, this was equivalent to gambling with one's own spirit ring. Although every previous theory of Shi Quan had been greatly beneficial to Spirit Masters, once it involved personal interests, very few people were willing to come forward and use themselves as a gamble.
