But a large part of the reason for this is that soul power before level 10 is relatively easy to improve.

In addition, You Chen inherited the ideas of scientific training and self-discipline of an adult from his previous life. When the other students were only 6 years old and could neither concentrate on practicing and studying nor practice systematically and scientifically, he was able to overtake them.

But if You Chen continued to practice like this, he would not necessarily be much better than Ye Han. A grassroots staff member who worked for the Spirit Hall and handled complicated affairs might be what You Chen should be like.

As the level increases, one gets closer and closer to the limits of one’s own talents, and the speed of cultivation will become slower and slower.

There are obvious qualitative changes in the singular major realms of soul masters.

A one-ring soul master represents the soul master’s first soul skill. The third ring of a three-ring soul master is often the soul master’s first thousand-year soul ring in the conventional sense. The fifth ring of a five-ring soul king is the first ten-thousand-year soul ring. The seventh ring of a seven-ring soul saint is the domineering and powerful martial soul avatar. Needless to say, the power of a nine-ring titled Douluo is even more powerful.

But this qualitative change has also brought with it even more stubborn shackles.

Especially the seventh and ninth rings, the solidity of these two layers of shackles can be said to be twice that of other single-numbered realms.

You Chen has read a lot of Douluo fan fiction. In many of them, the protagonists easily break through the shackles of talent and evolve their martial souls by absorbing suitable spirit rings over a period of time. From then on, the road to becoming a Titled Douluo becomes smooth.

Therefore, when his martial soul first awakened, You Chen was not discouraged by his low innate soul power and the poor quality of his martial soul.

It is impossible for him to give up or give up just because he lacks qualifications.

If one wants to absorb soul rings beyond the age limit, whale glue must be the first resource that most time travelers think of.

But even in the Dou Yi period when the effect of whale glue in improving physical fitness had not yet been discovered, this thing was definitely not cheap, at least it was definitely not something that a child with no background like You Chen could buy with money.

The best way is to offer the benefits of whale glue to the Spirit Hall and thereby obtain this reward.

Of course, there are also choices in the way of “offering”.

It is obviously unwise to tell people the functions of whale glue in a brazen manner.

The best scenario would be for You Chen to take over the task of “digging out” the effects of whale glue himself, that is, in the name of research materials, as a researcher, he would use the money of the Spirit Hall to purchase thousand-year-old or even ten-thousand-year-old whale glue.

Naturally, many problems arise at this time.

How can we ensure that we win the trust of others? How can we ensure that we are not given a small reward just because we are too young, and that others will take advantage of our research results? How can we maximize our benefits while ensuring our own safety?

You Chen’s choice was to not disclose the effect of whale glue first, to establish his image as a theoretical genius, and then…

When he was 12 years old, he released “Refuting the Ten Core Competitiveness of Wuhun” in the same year that Yu Xiaogang released “The Ten Core Competitiveness of Wuhun”.

This attracted Qianxunji’s attention and favor.

Likewise, the love-brained woman has been hating him ever since.

Chapter 3 Newbie Gift Pack

You Chen certainly knew that targeting Yu Xiaogang would draw hostility from the future Pope, but he still did it without hesitation.

Because, for You Chen, who has neither background nor talent, this is definitely a great opportunity for him during this period of time when he has not yet gained popularity.

Immortal herbs, whale glue, soul bones… these opportunities can indeed help him change his fate, but they are not something that a first-ring soul master like him should covet.

For example, whale glue. By the time he had cultivated to the point where he could buy this thing independently, the use of this thing was no longer that great.

But it’s different for Yu Xiaogang.

This guy’s so-called “Ten Core Competitiveness of Wuhun” looks intimidating, but the actual theoretical level is about the same as that of children’s books.

What is valuable and difficult is the process of verifying knowledge by our ancestors, not their summary.

If it were a paper written by a veteran researcher, You Chen, who had insufficient knowledge and no research and experimental experience, might not be able to refute it perfectly.

However, it is not difficult to criticize Yu Xiaogang’s theory, even for a half-baked person like You Chen.

The theoretical level shown in You Chen’s paper is actually not very high.

But, his age, experience, and background are there!

This is enough to establish a “theoretical genius” character and attract Qianxunji’s attention.

In particular, he severely attacked Yu Xiaogang, the toad who dared to set his sights on his beloved disciple Bibi Dong in Qianxunji’s eyes.

You Chen easily achieved his two major goals: gaining Qian Xunji’s favor and establishing himself as a theoretical genius.

As a result, he was summoned by Qianxunji.

And when Qianxunji asked what reward he wanted, it was natural for him to request permission to access the Spirit Hall’s Great Library.

The collection of books in the Spirit Hall Library is the richest and most complete in the continent. Previously, You Chen had obtained borrowing privileges due to his good performance in the academy, but it was only the first level of privileges.

This time, Qianxunji directly opened up all the permissions of the first three levels except the highest level to Youchen.

This will not only provide You Chen with the knowledge and theoretical basis to publish some conjectures and conduct some research in the future, but… You Chen is indeed very envious of the collection of books in the big library.

Without family inheritance, rich knowledge is indispensable for evolving martial souls. Only by knowing the records of other soul masters obtaining soul rings, the differences in soul ring skills obtained by different soul beasts, and the changes of different martial souls absorbing soul rings of different soul beasts, can he choose a soul ring that is more suitable for himself and better cultivate his martial soul.

Thus, at the age of 15, You Chen applied for whale glue as experimental material under the research topic of “enhancing the physique of soul masters”, and soon after, he published “Special Uses of Whale Glue”, a document hidden in the Spirit Hall.

Of course, You Chen had more than one research result during the period from the age of 12 to 15.

Therefore, this research result on whale jelly only further proves You Chen’s wisdom.

Some of Youchen’s research-related applications will naturally become easier.

At least it would be easy to let the high-level soul masters of the Spirit Hall help him hunt down high-age soul beasts, saving him a lot of trouble.

At the age of 15, he successfully obtained the 28-year spirit ring. At the age of , he obtained the -year spirit ring.

Everyone knows what happened next. With Bibi Dong’s rise to power, the former saint did not forget what happened in the past, so You Chen was naturally neglected.

Even though Bibi Dong had extended an olive branch to You Chen after she came to power, how could You Chen know if this crazy woman had any sinister intentions, and how could he dare to accept it?

In the previous twenty years, even with Qianxunji’s support, You Chen was repeatedly targeted and suppressed by Bibi Dong.

What’s more, Qianxunji is dead now?

Although You Chen had taught Qian Renxue for a period of time, and with such a mentor, Bibi Dong was afraid of Qian Daoliu and would most likely not kill him, but apart from that, there was no guarantee.

You Chen looked at Ye Han who looked puzzled, and smiled pretentiously: “Okay, some things are understood by those who understand, and it is difficult for me to explain if you don’t understand. If you make blind guesses, don’t blame me for not reminding you when you get into trouble. I see you are so mean… Are you itching for trouble again? Haha, we haven’t exchanged fighting spirits for many years, right? Why don’t we come and play?”

Ye Han’s face immediately changed, he put down the document in his hand, and said with a bitter smile: “Brother Chen, please stop joking. How can I be your opponent with only 3.9 jin of my weight?”

You Chen suddenly raised his head, revealing a nostalgic look: “Han Zi, when people reach middle age, they will inexplicably miss their youth. I suddenly remembered that summer 26 years ago when you found a few idiots to surround me… Well, I miss it very much.”

Ye Han’s eyes suddenly widened. This bastard, could it be that he has nothing better to do and is looking for an excuse to make fun of me?

“Brother Chen, be gentle…”

“Heh, I only use the same level of soul power as you. Hanzi, let me see your progress in the past few years!”

“Brother Chen, don’t!”

What reason does it take for an elder brother to beat up his younger brother?

Even if the soul power is suppressed to the same level and the fourth soul skill is not used, the physical strength and soul power control will not be weakened.

You Chen easily beat up Ye Han and completed the novice mission.

Ding.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the novice mission. Please receive the novice gift package! ]

You Chen ignored Ye Han who was lying on the training ground with a pig’s head on his head. He thought about it and chose to accept it.

A virtual window similar to the inventory of an RPG online game immediately appeared in front of him. The novice gift pack had just appeared in the first grid for a moment when it opened under You Chen’s mental control and turned into a pile of items.

Thirty primary nutrition pills. Each one can guarantee the nutrition needed for a first-ring soul master to practice in a full-scale manner for a day. It is similar to the effect of the top-grade soul beast meat that those big forces provide their children to practice every day.

Twenty primary soul power pills. Each pill can instantly restore 50% of the soul power of a first-ring soul master.

Ten primary healing pills. Each pill can instantly restore the serious injuries of soul masters below level 20.

There are also ten primary strength pills, speed pills, and soul power enhancement pills… As the name suggests, for a first-ring soul master, these are treasures that can easily turn a soul battle around.

The last pill, called Primary Experience Pill, is estimated to be able to directly increase the soul power of a level 10 soul master by 2~3 levels without any side effects. It is definitely a treasure that will cause those big forces to scramble for it.

but……

“I’m a level 48 soul master!”

You Chen complained hard in his heart.

The bad premonition finally came true.

This system not only delayed the tasks by more than 20 years, but also the rewards correspond to the self from more than 20 years ago!

If these things had been obtained more than 20 years ago, they would have been great treasures that came in handy in times of need.

The experience pills and nutrient pills alone would probably shorten the time it takes him to reach level 20 by at least one third.

But to him now, it is completely useless.

Fortunately, there are still three items left in the gift package.

You Chen did not give up and continued looking down.

One hundred gold soul coins. Not as much as a month’s salary.

“The Secret of Breath Condensation”. A special soul skill used to restrain breath. According to the description, if it is cultivated to the limit, it can completely restrain the fluctuations of one’s soul power, life and spirit. This effect alone is enough to make You Chen’s eyes light up, and he was glad that this gift package was not for a white-collar worker.

Moreover, after he glanced over the contents of the preface, he vaguely felt that the effectiveness of this “Breath-Containing Art” was more than that.

But you still need to practice and try it to see the details.

You Chen’s eyes turned.

Next, it’s the end.

It was a “First Soul Ring with the Best Adaptive Age”.

When he saw the “optimal years for adaptation”, You Chen’s eyes lit up, and when he saw the “first soul ring”, You Chen’s eyes suddenly went dark.

He had absorbed his first spirit ring more than twenty years ago!

Chapter 4: In power lies the greatest freedom in the world

‘No, not necessarily!’

But the next moment, You Chen recovered his breath and looked at the “first soul ring” reward with a thoughtful expression.

You Chen thought of two other possibilities besides the fact that the reward was junk.

First, this soul ring will replace his first soul ring.

Secondly, this soul ring will be superimposed on the original first soul ring, and a new soul ring will be formed after adding up the years.

Thinking of this possibility, You Chen’s spirit suddenly became excited. After waking Ye Han up and returning him safely, he returned to his residence in Wuhun City.

When his mind touched the soul ring in the inventory, his eyes suddenly lit up.

‘There is a reaction!’

You Chen’s heart was extremely excited, and while he was thinking, a ferocious look suddenly appeared on his face.

You Chen is no longer the newbie who had only a superficial understanding of martial spirit theory twenty-three years ago.

Normally speaking, a soul master can only absorb soul rings when he is at a bottleneck and has not absorbed any soul rings.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to attract the spirit ring, let alone absorb it.

Even for the exceptional twin martial souls, in fact, only the soul ring positions are reserved in order to attract the soul rings.

This is the rule of this world!

However, at this moment, a prompt “Do you want to use it” appeared on the spirit ring in the inventory…

You Chen’s heart began to tremble a little.

Whether it was a bug caused by the system being late, or something else, did this mean that, as You Chen had guessed, the rules of the system were higher than those of the Douluo World! ?

‘No, it’s too early to be happy now.’

You Chen calmed down. This was just a possibility.

If the rules of the system are really higher than those of the Douluo World, perhaps it is indeed possible to forcibly absorb this soul ring.

However, even if one crosses this first threshold, how can there be no risk in absorbing this first soul ring when one already has a soul ring?

Not to mention the two possibilities that You Chen was expecting, even if the soul ring could not be absorbed after being pulled in, or the soul ring directly ejected from the body and failed, these were actually relatively good results.

Who knows, maybe he died due to the collision of soul rings and explosion?

This is something that is very likely to happen!
