Chapter 7: The Path of Attribute Amplification, This is the Ultimate Attack!
After asking, Qian Xunji turned his gaze toward Yun Yuan, wanting to see what unique ideas he had.
Yun Yuan was currently frowning slightly, lost in thought; clearly, he was hesitating about something in his heart.
A long time passed.
Only then did Yun Yuan relax his brow, his face showing a look of determination, and his gaze becoming firmer than ever before.
"Teacher, the path my Atlas Spear will take is the pursuit of ultimate attack."
"However, my goal is not to obtain attack system Martial Soul Abilities."
Hearing this, Qian Xunji became interested, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked at Yun Yuan.
"Not attack system Martial Soul Abilities? Yet you want to take the path of ultimate attack? Xiao Yuan, you've got your teacher quite confused."
Not only was Qian Xunji confused, but Bibi Dong beside him was also completely lost, unable to understand what Yun Yuan had just said.
Yun Yuan wanted to take the path of ultimate attack, yet he didn't need attack system Martial Soul Abilities; she could understand these two statements separately, but combined, Bibi Dong was truly dumbfounded.
"Could it be that her junior brother's head was caught in a door when he went out during these past three days?"
While Bibi Dong's thoughts were flying wild, Yun Yuan gave his answer.
"Teacher, the Soul Rings I want to obtain must be able to grant me amplification of my own attributes, and the Soul skills of every Soul Ring must be able to stack its amplification. This is the type of Soul Ring I want to obtain for my Martial Soul, the Atlas Spear."
After speaking, Yun Yuan looked at Qian Xunji with a firm gaze; this was the final answer he had reached after three days of contemplation.
He didn't need attack system Martial Soul Abilities; what he needed were Martial Soul Abilities that could amplify his own attributes.
Upon hearing Yun Yuan's answer, Qian Xunji thought frantically in his mind, but he still couldn't understand his disciple's approach, finally asking Yun Yuan:
"Xiao Yuan, can you explain this to your teacher?"
"If you cannot convince me, I will resolutely not allow you to obtain this type of Soul Ring."
As Yun Yuan's teacher, Qian Xunji had to be responsible for Yun Yuan on his path of cultivation as a Soul Master.
Right now, Yun Yuan's ideas were somewhat unconstrained and imaginative, perhaps because his age and experience were not yet enough, so his thinking wasn't comprehensive enough; this required him, the experienced teacher, to correct it in time.
In Qian Xunji's view, the cost-effectiveness of obtaining Soul Rings that provided amplification Martial Soul Abilities was definitely not as good as obtaining Soul Rings that provided attack system Martial Soul Abilities.
"Teacher, I want to obtain amplification-type Martial Soul Abilities because in the future, I want to take the path of Self-created Ultimate Techniques."
"In battles between top-tier powerhouses, often only the Martial Soul Abilities provided by the last two or three Soul Rings can play a role; and the stronger one's strength, the smaller the role of Martial Soul Abilities becomes."
"Just like comparing the Clear Sky Sect's super Douluo Tang Chen, known as Invincible on Land, with our Spirit Hall's High Priest, known as Invincible in the Sky."
"If Tang Chen didn't have his Self-created Ultimate Techniques, do you think, Teacher, that Tang Chen would be qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as our Spirit Hall's High Priest? If it were based on Martial Soul Abilities alone, at the same level, I believe our High Priest could definitely crush that super Douluo Tang Chen."
Yun Yuan first told Qian Xunji about his own path, and then used the situation of Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen as an analogy, hoping to convince his teacher.
Once a Soul Master's realm reaches that of a Super Douluo, the role of Martial Soul Abilities for the Soul Master is no longer as significant as before.
As Soul Power levels increase, by the stage of a super Douluo, unless it is a heaven-defying Soul skills, every super Douluo uses their own ultimate techniques in battle.
The Dragon Emperor Douluo Tang Wulin from twenty thousand years later was just like this; in the early stages, he had a large number of flashy and powerful Martial Soul Abilities, but these played almost no role in the later stages.
It wasn't until Tang Wulin created the ultimate technique Dragon Emperor Forbidden Law that his strength had a qualitative leap.
In Yun Yuan's view, for Soul Masters with talent below the outstanding level, wanting to take the path of ultimate attack by obtaining attack system Martial Soul Abilities is a very good choice.
But when talent is strong enough to a certain degree, allowing one to create their own ultimate techniques, then to take the path of ultimate attack, one must obtain amplification-type Martial Soul Abilities.
And Yun Yuan happened to have the confidence that he could create his own ultimate techniques and successfully walk the path of ultimate attack.
After listening to Yun Yuan's persuasion, Qian Xunji finally realized that his young disciple's ideas were actually so far-sighted.
What Yun Yuan said was indeed correct; on what basis could the Clear Sky Sect's Tang Chen be mentioned in the same breath as his father, Qian Daoliu?
That sole basis was his Self-created Ultimate Technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer, which was also the skill that gave his father the most headaches.
If Tang Chen didn't have those Self-created Ultimate Techniques, he couldn't possibly have been his father's opponent.
However, the path Yun Yuan wanted to take still had one drawback...
Looking at Yun Yuan, Qian Xunji had already agreed to the path Yun Yuan wanted to take, but he had to give a reminder.
"Xiao Yuan, I support you in this path you've planned."
"But the path you want to take has one drawback, and that is before you create your own ultimate techniques, the effects of your Martial Soul Abilities will not be as good as those of other attack system Soul Masters."
"Have you thought this through?"
Regarding this drawback mentioned by Qian Xunji, Yun Yuan had long since known it; he still spoke with a firm gaze as he had just now:
"This disciple already knows. On the path of a Soul Master, what I seek is the long-term path; to give up long-term interests for those easily obtained is not what I pursue."
Hearing this, Qian Xunji immediately clapped his hands and looked at Yun Yuan with appreciation; good boy, he truly was Qian Xunji's disciple.
With just Yun Yuan alone in the future, Spirit Hall would be enough to suppress the entire Soul Master World.
Now, Qian Xunji was absolutely certain that as long as Yun Yuan did not perish, then in the future, under Yun Yuan's leadership, Spirit Hall would surely reach new heights.
"In that case, wait for your teacher for a while. I will first go and discuss the Soul Beasts that need to be hunted with Elder Yin; it will probably take until noon."
"After you two have eaten lunch, we will set out for the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain amplification-type Soul Rings for you, Xiao Yuan."
Qian Xunji said to Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong.
Originally, during these past few days, he had already made full preparations and had recorded all the Soul Beasts that might potentially be hunted.
But today, he was won over by Yun Yuan's ideas; since his disciple had such ambition, although this path was difficult, he would still support him.
And to maximize the effect of amplification-type Martial Soul Abilities, it was necessary for every amplification-type Soul skills to be able to stack; this was the most important thing.
For this reason, he needed to have a good discussion with Spirit Hall's Theoretical Master, Elder Yin; with that person's knowledge, he would surely be able to give the most suitable Soul Ring selection.
"Alright, Teacher, then I will practice meditation here with my senior sister while you go and discuss it thoroughly with Elder Yin."
Regarding Qian Xunji's instructions, Yun Yuan nodded obediently and then pulled his senior sister Bibi Dong to work hard at meditation and cultivation here.
Qian Xunji, on the other hand, went to find Elder Yin to discuss with this true Theoretical Master what species of Soul Beasts they should hunt for Yun Yuan.
