"Condensing a Spirit Core?!"
The first to be unable to sit still was still the Ice Empress, a strong worry rising in her heart… This was for the Snow Empress.
As the only being in the Extreme North Land who could casually chat and cultivate with the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress naturally knew many things about her, for example, the Snow Empress's Origin was damaged when she underwent her six hundred thousand year Heavenly Tribulation, and also, the Snow Empress failed her second Spirit Core attempt, damaging her Origin again.
The condensation of a second Spirit Core was already a near-death experience. Although the Snow Empress's Origin had now been replenished by the ten thousand year profound ice marrow, attempting it again still carried slim chances and immense risk.
She was truly afraid that something might happen to the Snow Empress again.
The Ice Empress looked at the Snow Empress, reaching out and taking her hand: "Snow Empress…"
"It's alright, Bing'er…" The Snow Empress gently shook her head, softly pulling her hand away from the Ice Empress, her gaze softly falling on the young man in front of her, "…I trust him."
How did she suddenly feel like the Snow Empress was beyond help?
After a few seconds of silence, she looked at Kong Mingan with some reluctance, "How confident are you?"
Kong Mingan was a little helpless: "…Do you really not trust me that much?"
The Ice Empress couldn't help but say: "It's precisely because it's you that I don't trust you!"
"…That's true." Kong Mingan nodded thoughtfully. Having been with the Snow Empress for a long time, he had subconsciously forgotten the Spirit Beasts' attitude towards humans. After all, the Snow Empress, in the beginning, also looked at him with such distrust.
He slightly reined in his expression, looking at the Ice Empress, his expression becoming serious: "Don't worry, I don't want anything to happen to the Snow Empress any less than you do."
Since he dared to propose this plan, he naturally had one hundred percent confidence. Moreover, he wasn't going to play around with some traditional Spirit Core.
First, we need to understand the concept and function of a traditional Spirit Core.
The Spirit Core in the traditional Spirit Master system is regarded as the core of spirit power, the foundation for becoming a Titled Douluo. It can greatly increase spirit power recovery speed, enhance a Spirit Master's combat power, and also allow a Spirit Master to Breakthrough their Bottleneck. Essentially, condensing a Spirit Core is an all-encompassing transformation for a Spirit Master, akin to a meteoric rise.
And after obtaining samples of Spirit Cores, conducting in-depth disassembly analysis, and observing and researching them, Kong Mingan reached a conclusion: for the traditional Spirit Master system, the existence of the Spirit Core itself is innovative, but its functional properties are relatively vague, the layered transformation is not very obvious, and its limitations are also great. In his opinion, the Spirit Core clearly has room for further improvement. The condensation steps, condensation methods, and even its inherent Energy structure all have the potential for optimization. Of course, for an ordinary Spirit Master, condensing a Spirit Core is already a matter of life and death; a slight mishap could lead to spirit power losing control and subsequent backlash, ultimately resulting in death on the spot. Only Kong Mingan could, after sensing a problem, directly revert the spirit power to its original state and then repeatedly try different approaches until he achieved his desired state. His spirit power simply could not go out of control.
Thus, with such a high tolerance for error, and with numerous Spirit Saints, Spirit Douluos, and even a Titled Douluo-level evil Spirit Master volunteering to sacrifice themselves…
His improvements to the Spirit Core were completely finished.
"…Compared to the traditional Spirit Master system where, in addition to its inherent attributes, other attributes like spatial power need to be added during the Spirit Core Fusion process for reinforcement and stability, I adopted a single attribute to sculpt a stable Energy structure for it, maintaining its 'purity' in terms of Energy attributes, and discarded other originally not-so-useful characteristics of the Spirit Core, focusing only on constructing three characteristics. First, 'Absorption and Transformation.' This allows for the rapid absorption of all types of Energy and its transformation into the Energy required by the user. For example, if a Spirit Core is condensed with ultimate ice, then no matter what attribute of Energy the Spirit Core absorbs, the Energy transformed by the Spirit Core will be one hundred percent ultimate ice attribute spirit power, perfectly matching the condenser's own needs, maximizing the use of Energy.
"Second, 'Quality Transformation.' This allows the condenser's own spirit power to be continuously purified through a cyclical process of devouring and releasing, thereby achieving a transformation in spirit power quality. Theoretically, given enough time, it can transform the spirit power attribute of an ordinary Spirit Master into an ultimate attribute.
"Third, 'Self-Adaptation and Growth.' There's not much to say about this one; as the name suggests, the Spirit Core can adapt to the condenser through continuous use and gradually grow stronger over time. Combining with characteristic two, taking an ordinary ice-attribute Spirit Master as an example, when the Spirit Core can purify ordinary ice-attribute spirit power to ultimate ice, the Spirit Core itself will also advance to an ultimate ice Spirit Core…"
Kong Mingan raised his hand, dispelling the simulated Spirit Core Energy structure diagram in his hand, and smiled as he looked at the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress in front of him, "Above, is the Spirit Core I will construct for the Snow Empress… Do you have any other questions?"
The Snow Empress calmly shook her head slightly. Having witnessed Kong Mingan's many methods, she was already accustomed to his various innovations. In fact, having been tested by him so many times, in a sense, Kong Mingan probably understood her body's Energy structure better than she did herself. Since he said it was possible, then it must be possible.
Meanwhile, the Ice Empress, listening, had a somewhat clear look in her eyes, "What the heck? Spirit Core optimization, improved structure, and focused characteristic construction?"
The Ice Empress's mind was a bit muddled, but she quickly calmed down, lowered her gaze, and tried to recall and digest Kong Mingan's words. After a moment, a flash of understanding passed through her eyes, which then turned to surprise. But after a slight pause, she frowned again and asked, "Are you planning for the Snow Empress's second Spirit Core to also be of the ultimate ice and snow attribute?"
"Yes." Kong Mingan nodded, "Won't two Spirit Cores of the same attribute conflict if they are simultaneously inside the body? Could it be… you have a way to resolve the conflict of same-attribute Spirit Cores within the body?" A hint of anticipation entered the Ice Empress's words.
Why do Spirit Masters usually choose their own attribute when condensing their first Spirit Core, but directly choose the spatial attribute for their second Spirit Core? Why don't they try to condense two Spirit Cores of the same attribute?
It's very simple: if two Spirit Cores of the same attribute exist simultaneously within a Spirit Master's body, the two Spirit Cores will uncontrollably begin to attract each other, collide, and then… boom!
This was a bloody lesson learned after countless Spirit Masters attempted it.
It is precisely because of this that the vast majority of single SpiritSpirit Masters, after condensing their first Spirit Core with their own Spirit attribute, have to begin researching and delving into spatial power for their second Spirit Core, in order to condense a second spatial Spirit Core.
Since this guy could propose a method for condensing same-attribute Spirit Cores, perhaps he had a way to resolve the conflict of same-attribute Spirit Cores within the body!
However, facing the Ice Empress's eyes, which subtly revealed a hint of anticipation, Kong Mingan stated as a matter of course: "No."
"————" The anticipation in the Ice Empress's eyes vanished, replaced by anger, "Then why are you still condensing one?!"
Kong Mingan spread his hands: "I never said the condensed Spirit Core had to be placed inside the body."
"Huh?"
The Ice Empress's eyes became clear again, even clearer this time than when she heard Kong Mingan talk about the improved version of the Spirit Core. After a long while, the Ice Empress finally came to her senses, looking at Kong Mingan: "Then tell me, if the Spirit Core isn't placed inside the body, where is it placed?"
"It's placed in here."
Kong Mingan chuckled and slowly raised his hand. There, a spirit ring quietly floated in his palm, emitting a faint glow.
