Chapter 175: My Martial Soul Can Change Size
At the same time, Mo Hui also stood up, bowed to Poseidon, and expressed his gratitude:
"Thank you for your careful guidance over the past month. My understanding of water-attribute energy has changed completely."
"There's no need for thanks—I've also gained a lot from this exchange,"
Poseidon said with a gentle shake of her head.
After a brief pause, she looked at Mo Hui, who still appeared unsatisfied, and hesitated before saying,
"If you wish to go further, you can visit the library on Sea God Island. Some of the knowledge left behind by our ancestors might help you resolve your doubts."
Although Poseidon was the High Priest of Sea God Island and had mastered much of the island's accumulated knowledge, Sea God Island had existed for countless years. Its library was vast. Even after decades, she hadn't fully explored its contents.
Perhaps in some obscure corner, knowledge she dismissed as insignificant could end up inspiring Mo Hui.
As for the concern that Mo Hui might waste time—please. Not only would a slower task completion benefit her, given her hidden motives, but she truly believed in Mo Hui's extraordinary talent. If anyone could glean something valuable, it was him.
"The Sea God Island library? Got it."
Mo Hui nodded slightly. It seemed he would need to spend some time there reading.
Although he had already learned the most essential knowledge through Poseidon's instruction, that didn't mean the rest of it was worthless.
As one of the most powerful forces on the Douluo Continent, Sea God Island had an incredibly deep foundation. Countless brilliant ideas from the ancestors were preserved in those books.
These ideas may have gone unrealized by their originators—but that didn't mean Mo Hui couldn't bring them to life.
Besides, Mo Hui wasn't in a rush to increase his rank. Spending time reading wouldn't hinder him.
His current strength was already formidable. Even though he hadn't obtained his eighth spirit ring yet, ordinary Titled Douluo without any outrageous or extraordinary soul skills would be crushed by him.
The reason Mo Hui hadn't absorbed the Sea God's God-given spirit ring to become a Spirit Douluo was twofold. First, the ring came from the Sea God, and Mo Hui intended to give it to Magikarp, his second martial soul. Second, he wanted to try condensing a self-made soul ring.
While typically impossible in the outside world—where only soul bones and immortal herbs contain enough energy to attempt it—there was an exception.
That was the site of the God of Wind's divine trial, a place Mo Hui had previously visited. The wind-attribute energy there was extremely rich—enough to support an attempt at self-condensation.
If the attempt failed, it wouldn't matter much. Mo Hui still had the God-given ring and could break through to Spirit Douluo at any time. With a 100,000-year soul ring, he could instantly reach level 82.
Let's not forget, Mo Hui had a second martial soul—Magikarp—and was undergoing a twin divine trial. There was no danger of his body being unable to handle it.
If he succeeded, it would benefit Pidgeot, his first martial soul, tremendously.
Because a self-condensed soul ring, built entirely by Mo Hui's own soul power circuit rather than bestowed by a god, would grant him control over the resulting soul skill.
He gently patted Pidgeot's head and said softly,
"Pidgeot, don't worry. I will definitely create the best eighth soul skill for you."
"Beep~"
Pidgeot chirped excitedly. He had absolute faith in Mo Hui.
Mo Hui smiled faintly at that. In his heart, he silently vowed to devote himself even more deeply to the study of soul master knowledge, all for the sake of creating the perfect eighth soul skill.

Time flew by, and two months passed.
During this time, Mo Hui continued refining his Water Cannon technique while also studying diligently in the Sea God Island library. His mental library of knowledge was growing rapidly.
"Water Cannon, go!"
Standing by the coast, Mo Hui pointed his finger, and a blast of water shot from it.
But this time, it was completely different.
The water column didn't expand dramatically as before. Instead, it only widened slightly and shot forward at high speed.
It streaked across the sea, barely disturbing the surface—just a few ripples. Compared to its earlier violent recoil, this was a monumental improvement.
The water column instantly flew past a thousand meters—and still didn't stop. It shot further and further until Mo Hui estimated it had traveled five to six thousand meters, only then did it gradually dissipate.
"Not bad. It's not perfect yet, but the excess energy consumption has been greatly reduced. Now it's just a matter of refining the execution."
Mo Hui nodded in satisfaction.
At that moment, the Magikarp spirit inside his body also leapt with excitement, seemingly celebrating Mo Hui's success.
"The Magikarp's intelligence seems to be increasing…"
He wasn't surprised by this. Ever since Magikarp had absorbed its first spirit ring, it had frequently shown such activity. And it was becoming more and more frequent.
To Mo Hui, this was a good sign—it meant the Magikarp's spirituality was growing. Once it received a few more spirit rings, it might even gain independent intelligence.
Although Mo Hui wasn't sure what the use of such a spirit would be—one with its own intelligence and capable of possessing the body—maybe it could evolve into an intelligent Magikarp Armor?
At that thought, Mo Hui couldn't help but shake his head. While that kind of evolution would be amazing, it still seemed unlikely for now.
Then, Mo Hui summoned Pidgeot and took off, flying toward the Sea God Island library once more.
Soon, he arrived at its entrance. After a brief greeting with the staff, he entered.
This time, Mo Hui went straight to the miscellaneous section. As for the formal classics, he had already gone through most of them during his time with Poseidon.
Now, he began searching quickly.
After an unknown length of time, he pulled out a book titled:
"My Martial Soul Can Change Size."
After flipping through a few pages, Mo Hui's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, it's you!"
