Yu Luomian turned his head and smiled slightly.
"Many Soul Masters begin to regret their early Soul Ring choices once they cultivate to the Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo level.
Didn't you also say yesterday? For powerhouses of that level, ordinary hundred-year or thousand-year skills are almost useless.
Profound Soul Power, formidable strength, and a Martial Soul developed to the extreme mean that even a casual strike is remarkably powerful.
That's generally true, but not entirely. There are a few types of Soul Rings that remain useful even with lower age limits.
First and foremost are amplification types:
Speed amplification, strength amplification, defense amplification, elemental intensity amplification, Martial Soul trait amplification, and various rare but highly effective niche amplifications.
The higher the amplification and the more comprehensive the types, the better, provided the body can withstand it.
Secondly, there are special functions, such as locking skills and weapon skills, which can greatly compensate for Martial Soul flaws.
Additionally, time and space-related abilities are invaluable, regardless of their age.
Some Soul Skills also possess growth capabilities, meaning their power increases as your strength grows, but these are extremely rare."
Yu Luomian suddenly stopped moving forward and asked mysteriously:
"Have you heard of the Haotian Douluo?"
"Of course. Six years ago, he fought three opponents alone and killed the Spirit Hall's Pope. Even now, the entire Soul Master world is still discussing it."
"The Soul Ring configuration I know about for him is all amplification skills.
From speed, reaction, and mental perception to strength, defense, and extreme burst, even including control over Soul Power, almost every aspect is amplified.
Then, he relies on Soul Bone skills and Tang Chen's self-created Soul Skills to fight.
Tang Chen is a true genius. When it comes to the best of the extreme flow, the two Haotian Douluos he cultivated are undoubtedly representative figures."
Speaking of this, Yu Luomian's gaze suddenly became incomparably fervent, staring intently.
Even if Yu Tianyou was foolish, he wouldn't fail to realize what was happening. He asked helplessly:
"Second Grandpa, do you mean you want me to follow the extreme flow too?"
"Yes, the moment you said you could use your two Martial Souls together, this idea began to form in my mind.
If one of them is entirely equipped with amplification skills – speed, reaction, strength, burst, defense…
Each Soul Ring corresponds to a direction, amplifying all aspects of your qualities to the extreme.
Or you could choose a locking skill to prevent enemies from escaping attacks.
Then, the other one has nine different functional and effective strong attack, control, and defense skills of at least 80,000 years.
At that time, you will become the most heaven-defying existence in history, capable of instantly killing any enemy you encounter."
Yu Tianyou supported his forehead with one hand.
He knew that being born into such a large family, it would be very difficult to act entirely according to his own wishes.
The achievements, strength, knowledge, and Life experiences of the elders are too successful. They will subconsciously arrange everything for you according to the optimal path they understand.
If you want to object, you have to give a reason that they also recognize.
But the problem is,
the God Tree's attributes are not just as simple as the seven elements of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. In the future, it also implies a Sage Body, Rinnegan, and Bloodline Fusion.
Wouldn't it be a waste to give it amplification?
As for the Azure Dragon…
The God Tree can amplify the Azure Dragon because the Sage Body and Rinnegan will become part of its main body.
If it's reversed, it will be incompatible.
Moreover, amplification abilities might be very useful to others, but for me, they are completely useless.
No, to be precise, they are completely redundant, not even worth regretting discarding.
Because for this kind of thing, you can achieve the same effect by casually buying a cultivation technique in the system shop.
Don't even mention extreme burst; you can find a whole bunch of techniques for self-destruction.
The reason he works so hard to strengthen his body is to increase the total Soul Ring limit as much as possible and to prepare for opening the Eight Gates.
Amplification cannot be stacked indefinitely.
It's not like if a technique and a Soul Skill are combined, the strength will reach twenty-one times.
Exceeding the body's strength limit will cause it to explode. Didn't you see that even though Tang Hao was equipped with a full set of Soul Bones and a ninth Soul Ring of the Life attribute, the hidden injuries left by the explosive ring still couldn't recover after more than ten years?
Since this is the case, why occupy a precious Soul Ring slot when there are techniques that can replace it?
Yu Tianyou took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible:
"Second Grandpa, we can discuss this issue later. Anyway, the Life and mental attributes themselves have amplification for physical qualities.
Our choices for the first two Soul Rings don't conflict."
"Okay, feel free to ask me anything you don't understand. Second Grandpa will tell you everything I know."
The two chatted as they walked, barely noticing the passage of time.
Before long, they arrived at a hilly area with a lake in the middle and several rivers passing by.
Yu Tianyou could clearly sense the refreshing aura constantly emanating from the distance, its vitality extremely vigorous.
Yu Luomian said spiritedly:
"We're here. This is the place.
Different types of Soul Beasts have completely different habits, including their requirements for their habitat.
And the Life attribute you want generally has two characteristics:
First, they like places with vigorous vitality the most. Second, because many predators are used to hunting them as high-quality food, they like to stick together.
This is a gathering place for Life-type Soul Beasts.
We'll wander around the periphery first. After seeing a suitable choice, tell me first. We'll rush in, grab it, and run, transferring it to another place to absorb it.
Otherwise, once you get entangled, even a Soul Douluo will be very uncomfortable."
Yu Tianyou carefully observed his surroundings.
The first Soul Beast to be absorbed will become the foundation of the God Tree's corresponding Soul Ring. In the future, it will evolve into something similar to a Tailed Beast as it continues to devour, which is the Soul Spirit under the Douluo system.
Although theoretically, even a mortal species can be piled up into a divine beast in the end through this perverted ability of devouring and evolution.
But to be on the safe side, Yu Tianyou still hopes to choose one with as much potential and bloodline level as possible.
"Second Grandpa, if we don't consider the age limit or other abilities, which Soul Beast has the strongest pure vitality?"
"There is indeed such a Soul Beast, but it's very difficult to find, and even if we find it, we won't have the ability to hunt it."
"What's it called?"
"Emerald Swan. Its rarity is such that even ancient books don't have many records of it.
The reason I know is because before the Tiandou Royal Family's Martial Soul degenerated, it was one of the bloodline branches of this Soul Beast.
Even if they broke an arm or leg, they could easily heal it back as long as they didn't die on the spot.
At that time, the Tiandou Empire suppressed the Star Luo Empire to the point where it couldn't even breathe, barely surviving with the Spirit Hall's biased support.
Because once there were members of the royal family in the army, morale would immediately soar, and the soldiers would all be fearless.
Unfortunately, ten thousand years ago, a prince once tried to hunt a ten-thousand-year Emerald Swan, which angered countless Soul Beasts. The entire Star Dou Great Forest was in turmoil because of it.
In the end, it took the entire Spirit Hall to mobilize to finally quell it. Even so, that prince could not escape death.
Since then, the Tiandou Royal Family has declined all the way, and in the last thousand years, even Titled Douluos have been unable to be born."
