"The existence of spirits is beneficial to both spirit masters and spirit beasts. Therefore, I specially invited Mr. Di Tian, the king of spirit beasts, to participate in this conference and cooperate in completing the experiments on spirits."
After introducing himself to everyone, Shi Quan said directly, "Now, let's begin the experiment."
"Who's first?" Shi Quan's gaze fell on the seats on both sides.
"Me!" Ning Rongrong's clear voice rang out as she stood up first and strode towards the stage.
Seeing that it was Ning Rongrong and Shi Quan, he wasn't surprised, since he had seen the list before.
"Ning Rongrong." Shi Quan read her name aloud, his purpose, of course, was to inform Di Tian and the others.
On the side of the soul beasts, Bi Ji let out another clear howl, and the soul beasts parted to make way for a group of soul beasts to slowly emerge.
These spirit beasts truly looked like the old, weak, sick, and disabled.
At the same time, a slightly dim crystal beast emerged from among the soul beasts and walked towards the platform. You could see that its crystal-like scales were covered with dense cracks, indicating that its life essence had been damaged and it was a soul beast that was already old and would not live much longer.
In an instant, both spirit beasts and humans were in an uproar.
A soft light emanated from Shi's entire body, and a golden aura surged forth. Seven spirit rings slowly appeared beneath Shi's body.
"Let's go back." Shi Quan nodded to Ning Rongrong.
Especially those familiar with Shi Quan, like Ning Fengzhi, momentarily forgot about the matter of the soul spirit and stared incredulously at the soul ring at Shi Quan's feet, even wondering if there was something wrong with their eyes.
After a month of refinement, Shi Quan, with his single martial soul, was able to reliably create soul spirits.
"Go." That was the last word from Shi Quan.
The crystal beast let out an excited roar and leaped towards Ning Rongrong.
The absorption process wasn't as long as expected, only a quarter of an hour. A black spirit ring, even larger than the previous one, rose from Ning Rongrong's feet, and her spirit emerged from her body, letting out an excited roar.
Ning Rongrong gave Shi Quan a deep look, a hint of melancholy in her eyes. "Thanks."
Unsurprisingly, the experiments proceeded one after another. The success of the previous ones laid a solid foundation for the ones to come. This was not only because Shi Quan's experience had become richer, but also because the Soul Spirit Technique was already nearly perfect thanks to the cooperation between Shi Quan and Gu Yuena.
Especially those soul beasts who thought they were going to their deaths became extremely excited when they saw that they would be reborn in a new form.
Ning Rongrong quickly immersed herself in cultivation, her fair face contorted with pain. Her soul power level had already broken through level fifty. This crystal beast was ten thousand years old. Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts possess their own intelligence, and their spiritual strength has also undergone a transformation. Naturally, fusing with a soul spirit of this level is much more difficult.
"continue..."
The spirit emerged, and unlike its previous state of frailty and decline, the crystal beast's shimmering scales regained their former brilliance, and its aura became even more refined.
On the platform, the souls merged and emerged under the horrified gazes of the crowd.
Shi Quan was also surprised by this. He slowly walked up to the crystal beast, his eyes gleaming with azure-gold light.
Although the fusion process is arduous, once the fusion is complete, their intelligence will integrate their combat instincts with the Soul Master, allowing the Soul Master to gain more benefits.
Upon seeing this, Ning Fengzhi, who was in the VIP section, frowned slightly.
However, the fluctuations of soul power emanating from Shi Quan's body clearly told them that Shi Quan was already a seventh-ring Soul Saint.
"Shi Quan has already reached the seventh ring?" The people present looked at Shi Quan as if he were some kind of monster.
Soon the second one began. If the first success was luck, then the success of two or three times was a symbol of ability.
The creation of spirits is 100% successful, but there may be some mishaps during the fusion process. After all, even though they are transformed into spirits, spirit beasts still have a resistance to humans. To subdue a spirit beast, one must rely on the spirit master's own strong willpower and mental strength.
During the experiment, there were instances where Soul Masters failed to absorb Soul Spirits. After the failure, the Soul Master's Soul Power would suffer a backlash, and their spirit would also be impacted.
Normally, he would need at least half a month to recover, but with Shi Quan and Bi Ji around, he is at least alive and can recover quickly in a short time.
As for the soul, it will also be affected to some extent, and will be in a period of stagnation.
The examples of failed integrations also provided Shi Quan with a lot of useful data.
For those who failed to fuse, Shi Quan selected other suitable soul beasts from the beast horde and transformed them into soul spirits.
The experiment continued from dawn until dusk.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky.
The 100th person's soul fusion was finally successful.
One hundred and ten soul beasts died, and one hundred and ten soul spirits were born.
The success rate of creating a soul is 100%, and the probability of successfully absorbing it on the first try is over 90%.
This is enough to prove the compatibility between the Soul Master and the Soul Spirit.
Almost all of the hundred people present released their spirits, communicating with them and cultivating relationships. Seeing their excited expressions, the others on the sidelines were truly envious.
Shi Quan rubbed his throbbing head. "The experiment was a great success. The conference will be held temporarily and will continue in a day. During this time, I hope that the Soul Masters who absorb Soul Spirits can cooperate with the personnel of the Heaven Dou Empire to collect information and information about Soul Spirits. Afterwards, I will make arrangements for the improvement of the Soul Spirit system."
After saying this, Shi Quan sat cross-legged and resumed his normal activities.
Even with his iron body, he was exhausted after a day's work.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo got up and went to Shi Quan's side to protect him, while the Demon King of the Soul Beasts also stood guard on Shi Quan's other side.
The eyes of the many forces present also became more solemn upon seeing this scene.
What does it mean to be protected by a soul beast?
If you think about it carefully, it seems that Shi Quan and the soul beast had already reached a special cooperation before.
Otherwise, why would Gu Yuena, a soul beast, be following Shi Quan?
Previously, everyone was puzzled as to why so many powerful figures would suddenly appear after Shi Quan's death, but now they finally understood.
Because these powerful individuals are not the humans they perceive!
It is a powerful soul beast that can freely transform into human form!
Meanwhile, within a single day, the special nature and practicality of the soul were transmitted back to the major powers through various special means.
Papal Palace.
"The King of Soul Beasts, the Beast God Di Tian?" Bibi Dong gripped the letter tightly, her expression grave. "Could this Di Tian be the terrifying aura hidden deep within the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"That old guy Qian Daoliu might know something. Should we go ask him?" A complicated look flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but she ultimately shook her head and rejected the idea.
Let's turn our attention back to the campsite outside Sunset Forest.
The next morning, Shi Quan woke up from his meditation and, without much rest, began his investigation and research.
After a day, a large amount of data about 100 people was quickly compiled, followed by another night of summarizing and analysis, and then another night passed.
Early in the morning, the seats around the platform were already full of people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, different spirits have different requirements for the spirit of the spirit master. The specific details are already in the research results of the spirits. I had them distributed to everyone present before the conference, so I will not say any more."
"There is a limit to soul fusion, so one of the key points I mentioned is to delay the acquisition of soul rings. This allows the soul spirit to play its role to the maximum extent. If a soul master does not acquire a soul ring, the soul power they cultivate will continue to accumulate until the moment they acquire the soul ring, at which point it will all erupt. This can both temper the soul master's character and enhance their future achievements."
"Overall, the existence of spirits far surpasses that of spirit rings, that is beyond doubt."
"The next topic is probably what everyone is most concerned about: the creation of spirits. So far, I am the only human capable of creating spirits. As for the method of creating spirits, I will reveal it later..."
"Really?" Yue Guan's sharp voice rang out.
"Really." Shi Quan nodded with a smile, but then changed the subject, saying, "But not now. I think everyone understands the preciousness of soul spirits. Once everyone learns the method of creating soul spirits, it will be difficult for soul masters to resist their temptation. They will be more likely to actively seek out soul beasts, which will only lead to more slaughter. In addition, the method of creating soul spirits is not perfect at present. I need to revise it further to reach a level that is acceptable to both soul masters and soul beasts. So I will not publish the method of creating soul spirits for at least three years and at most five years."
"Three to five years?" Ning Fengzhi asked, "Can we obtain a soul from you within these three to five years?"
"Of course!" Shi Quan smiled.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed slightly. "Then what do we need to give in return?"
"Free!" Shi Quan waved his hand and continued, "However, before the method of creating soul spirits is announced, I will only provide one thousand soul spirit slots per year."
"How should we allocate the thousand spots?" came a ghostly, sinister voice.
"Brother Xue." Shi Quan's gaze fell on Xue Qinghe below the platform.
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe immediately walked up to the platform with his head held high and came to Shi Quan's side.
"The decision-making power for these 1,000 spots has been handed over to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire. If you want a spot, go to him."
"Master Shi, isn't this a bit too unfair to our Star Luo Empire?" The representative of the Star Luo Empire said in a low voice, suppressing his anger. "For Zhu Zhuqing's sake, could you also give the Star Luo Empire some spots?"
"Zhu Qing?" Shi Quan's gaze swept around, and he sneered, "I can give the spots to whomever I want. Giving them is a favor, not giving them is my right. If I want, I can give none of them at all..."
