"Father, Elder Dugu, Uncle Lin"
After verifying and realizing his conjecture about spirit rings, Yu Xiaogang smiled as he looked at the three people meditating not far away: Yu Yuanzhen.
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's call, the three awoke from their meditation.
"Finished researching?"
Yu Yuanzhen glanced at the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth that couldn't be suppressed, rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation.
From the expression alone, he could tell that his son had discovered something again.
So he was very much looking forward to it.
"Yes, the research is finished."
"Father, Elder Dugu, Uncle Lin, from now on, the heavens of Douluo Continent are about to change."
Yu Xiaogang sighed with emotion.
And indeed, they were about to change.
spirit rings could store spirit power, and when activated, they would first consume the spirit power within the spirit rings.
This discovery, for the Spirit system of Douluo Continent, was on a level akin to the heavens and earth transforming.
This meant that from now on, the spirit power of Spirit Masters on Douluo Continent would be many times more abundant.
Every Spirit Master possessed numerous spirit rings. If all these spirit rings were filled with stored spirit power, plus the spirit power within the Spirit Master's own body...
Doubling the total amount of spirit power within a Spirit Master would be a simple matter.
Doubling it!
For a Spirit Master advancing from Rank 95 to Rank 96, aside from physical fitness and mental strength, a mere twenty percent increase in spirit power could already create a huge gap.
Doubling it?
Wouldn't it be possible for a future Rank 91 Titled Douluo to chase after a Rank 95 Titled Douluo?
Just imagine, starting with your ninth Spirit Ability and then unleashing several more in a row—wouldn't that be terrifying?
"The heavens of Douluo Continent are about to change?"
"Xiaogang, what have you discovered?"
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Yu Yuanzhen's heart began to pound wildly.
His son was not someone lacking in experience; he had even seen hundreds of Spirit Bones piled up like a mountain.
For such a Yu Xiaogang to say that the heavens of Douluo Continent were about to change, in Yu Yuanzhen's view, his son must have discovered something that could redefine Spirit Masters.
Beside him, Dugu Bo also looked at Yu Xiaogang with anticipation.
He hadn't forgotten that Yu Xiaogang had initially discussed the issues with his own Spirit with him before falling into thought.
So, could the Young Sect Master's discovery solve the drawbacks of his family's Spirit?
Under the gaze of the three, Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath.
"Father, just now, I exchanged views with Elder Dugu on why the Jade Phosphor Serpent, as a Spirit Beast, doesn't poison itself, while the Jade Phosphor Serpent, as a Spirit, suffers backlash from its own toxins."
"I pondered the differences between Spirit Beasts and Spirit Masters, and then thought of spirit rings."
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang manipulated his first spirit ring to float before him.
"We've always treated spirit rings as mere triggers for Spirit Abilities, or as decorations beyond that."
"But the problem is, before we absorb spirit rings, they store the spirit power of the Spirit Beast, and ten-thousand-year spirit rings even contain mental force."
"We absorb the spirit power within the spirit rings, and then absorb the spirit rings themselves."
"This is like receiving a box of pastries; after getting the box, we eat the pastries."
"Then we leave the remaining box sitting there as a decoration."
"But clearly, the box can be used to store things."
Silence. After Yu Xiaogang's words fell, the scene fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone's mouths hung open, their eyes wide, looking at Yu Xiaogang in disbelief.
Yu Xiaogang's words, along with his example, made it very easy for the three present to understand what he was saying.
Yet precisely because they understood, they found it incredible.
Yes, before absorption, spirit rings clearly stored so much spirit power; when absorbing that spirit power, each of them had been tormented to the brink of death.
Then, after the spirit rings were fully absorbed, the spirit rings belonged to them.
After that, the spirit rings became mere triggers for Spirit Abilities, usually serving as decorations for Spirit Masters.
Clearly, before absorption, spirit rings could store spirit power, so why after absorption had no one thought of this?
"Gulp!"
Swallowing hard, Yu Yuanzhen felt his throat was extremely dry.
"Xiaogang, since you say this, it means..."
"That's right, I've already verified it!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice rang out firm and resolute.
"I tried injecting the spirit power from my body into the spirit ring without activating the Spirit Ability. After a while, the spirit ring began storing my spirit power."
"After storing spirit power in the spirit ring, I could close the channel for inputting spirit power at any time, using the spirit ring purely as a tool for storing spirit power."
"Then, after restoring the spirit power in my body to Perfection, I would possess double the spirit power reserves."
Glancing at his father, whose mouth had dropped open again, and at Dugu Bo and Lin Lang not far away, whose mouths had never closed, Yu Xiaogang grinned.
"And at this point, if I then use a Spirit Ability, it first consumes the spirit power stored in the spirit ring."
"The spirit power in the body's meridians remains completely untouched."
"When the spirit power in the body is consumed, by opening the channel of the spirit ring, spirit power returns from the spirit ring to my body, replenishing the spirit power I've used."
"In other words, from now on, we will carry several backup warehouses storing large amounts of spirit power with us at all times."
"Simply doubling the total amount of spirit power is completely feasible."
The total amount of spirit power, simply doubled...
The total amount of spirit power, doubled...
Doubled...
After hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, these few words kept echoing in the minds of Yu Yuanzhen and the other two.
A wave of intense dizziness swept through their brains, making the three somewhat unsteady on their feet.
Doubling the total amount of spirit power—this was doubling it!
Although a Spirit Master's specific combat prowess isn't entirely determined by the total amount of spirit power.
But during each battle, how many Spirit Abilities can be unleashed depends on the total amount of spirit power.
Doubling the total amount of spirit power means that battles which previously required careful planning can now be fought with abandon.
Ultimate moves don't need to be saved for the most critical moments; in a single battle, they can unleash their ultimate moves several times.
As for lower-Rank Spirit Abilities, they can be released without any hesitation.
What allocation of spirit power consumption during battle?
Fighting an opponent of the same level, with double the spirit power of others, what need is there for careful planning?
Go talk to my ultimate move!
It could be said that Yu Xiaogang's discovery truly was, as he said, about to change the heavens of Douluo Continent.
And indeed, it did change Douluo Continent.
After Yu Xiaogang revealed his discovery, the Black World erupted with a bang.
