"Unlike Soul Masters, who focus primarily on cultivating their Martial Souls, a Soul Warrior specializes in cultivating Soul Qi. This process is divided into two steps. First, after the Martial Soul awakening, one must cultivate their Soul Power to Rank 10."
"Once Rank 10 is reached, instead of attaching any soul rings, one must follow the unique method I created to condense a Soul Power vortex. Once the vortex is formed, all the Soul Power in the body can be converted into Soul Qi. Reaching this stage means one has truly become a Soul Warrior."
Qin Yi spoke slowly: "After becoming a Soul Warrior, one completely abandons the Martial Soul. They no longer meditate through the Martial Soul to cultivate Soul Power but instead cultivate according to the Soul Qi cultivation techniques of the Soul Warrior lineage."
"You could say that a Soul Warrior's cultivation technique is analogous to a Soul Master's Martial Soul. As for Soul Martial Techniques, it refers to all the techniques a Soul Warrior can practice. It is broadly divided into three categories: Soul Qi cultivation techniques are just one part.'
"Beyond that, there are Soul Martial Skills, which correspond to a Soul Master's soul skills, and special Soul Qi Secret Methods."
"I see. It seems that although the path of the Soul Warrior was only recently established, its foundational system is already complete. May I ask, Sir, what are the requirements for cultivation talent to become a Soul Warrior?"
Dai Weisi etched these words into his heart, nodding as he asked.
He had a faint suspicion in his mind, but he hardly dared to believe it.
Hearing this question, Qin Yi gave a faint smile.
"The cultivation of a Soul Warrior has no rigid requirements for physical talent. Anyone can practice it."
"Then... is there an upper limit?"
"Because Soul Warrior cultivation discards the Martial Soul and stores Soul Qi within the body, it is not restricted by the Martial Soul's capacity."
"As long as one can break through the bottlenecks of their cultivation technique, there is no upper limit for a Soul Warrior. Anyone, regardless of their natural talent, has a certain possibility of becoming a top-tier powerhouse."
As soon as these words were spoken, the spirits of Dai Weisi and the other two were jolted—even Dai Weisi, who had already guessed as much. After all, the traditional method of cultivation—that of the Soul Master—has incredibly high requirements for talent.
Those with weak Innate Soul Power do not even have the qualification to become a Soul Master. Even for the majority of Soul Masters, their lifelong achievements are almost set in stone by the quality of their Martial Soul, making breakthroughs difficult.
As Qin Yi had said before, being a Soul Master is a cruel profession; its excellent traits only benefit that small portion of people with extraordinary natural talent.
In reality, the vast majority of people in the world are destined never to reach the higher realms of the Soul Master path. Because of this, the gap between commoners and Soul Masters is immense, and the world is divided into the Soul Master world and the secular world.
To hear that the Soul Warrior path had no talent requirements—how could they not be shocked?
Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Qin Yi. With deep respect, she asked, "Sir, your claim that there are no requirements for cultivation talent sounds a bit hard to believe, yet based on your overview of Soul Warrior cultivation, I find myself inclined to believe it."
"After all, when we humans awaken a Martial Soul, even the weakest will have a trace of Innate Soul Power."
"While such talent would prevent someone from absorbing even the weakest soul ring upon reaching Rank 10, a Soul Warrior doesn't need soul rings at all. They only need to condense a Soul Power vortex and then cultivate Soul Qi according to a manual."
"However, what is the cultivation speed of a Soul Warrior? Sir, could you elaborate? If the speed is too slow, that would constitute a hidden talent requirement."
"Much like a Martial Soul with Rank 0.5 Innate Soul Power—theoretically, they can become a Soul Master or even a two-ring Soul Grandmaster, but the cultivation speed is simply too slow, and a weak Martial Soul cannot be effectively improved. It truly isn't worth the effort."
Regarding Zhu Zhuyun's doubt, Qin Yi replied: "The cultivation of a Soul Warrior is significantly different from that of a Soul Master."
"In the way of the Soul Master, although one is limited by talent and those with low-grade Martial Souls have limited potential, if one's talent is extremely high, the path is a grand highway—smooth and without a single bottleneck."
"A Soul Warrior is the opposite. Its entry barrier is extremely low; anyone can practice. Even for those with extremely low Innate Soul Power, the only slow part is the first step of cultivating Soul Power to Rank 10."
"After producing Soul Qi, a Soul Warrior must follow the circulation routes specified in their Soul Qi technique. Using the Soul Power vortex in their body, they convert the absorbed energy of heaven and earth into Soul Qi, clearing their meridians and accumulating power."
"At this stage, unlike the Soul Master path which emphasizes talent over bottlenecks, the focus of Soul Qi techniques lies in breaking through technical bottlenecks. For someone who has never encountered Soul Martial Techniques, breaking through a bottleneck alone might seem difficult."
"But with a master's guidance, it isn't that hard. I once took in three students, all orphans. Their highest Innate Soul Power was only Rank 0.5. When they started learning Soul Martial Techniques, their cultivation was only at Rank 10 Soul Power."
"Yet even so, after less than ten years of practicing Soul Martial Techniques under my guidance, they have already reached the third realm of the Soul Warrior—comparable to a three-ring Soul Elder."
From Rank 10 Soul Power to a realm comparable to a Soul Elder in less than ten years!
Hearing Qin Yi's words, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun could not hide their amazement. This speed could be considered quite fast. After all, even a genius with high Innate Soul Power would usually take at least six years or so to get from Rank 10 to the Soul Elder realm.
"Your Highness, do you understand now?" Qin Yi asked Dai Weisi calmly.
"Sir, your talent is immense; I, Dai Weisi, am lost in admiration. By establishing the path of the Soul Warrior, you will surely cause the national strength of our Star Luo Empire to soar. Given time, we will far surpass the many sects and clans of the Soul Master world."
"When you mentioned a new cultivation path earlier, I thought your intention was merely to help Star Luo birth enough top-tier powerhouses to counter Spirit Hall. It seems my thinking was far too narrow-minded."
With his current understanding of the Soul Warrior, he finally understood why Qin Yi had chosen to defy the imperial decree. If the path of the Soul Warrior were spoken of in the imperial court, it would be impossible to prevent the news from leaking.
Once word of the Soul Warrior spread across the continent, there was no doubt it would draw the attention of every power. Heaven Dou, Spirit Hall, the great sects, and the Soul Master clans would likely all descend upon Star Luo.
By then, Star Luo would truly lose the opportunity brought by the Soul Warrior.
"There is just one thing I do not understand," Dai Weisi said, gazing at Qin Yi.
"Since you created the Soul Warrior path, why did you decide to use it to help my Star Luo Empire instead of announcing it to the entire continent? You were bullied and mocked in your youth; if you wanted to wash away that shame, it would be easy—effortless, even."
"By announcing it to the world, your name would spread across the continent, known by everyone under heaven."
"As expected of the First Prince of the Star Luo Empire; Your Highness's intellect is far beyond ordinary men." Qin Yi's eyes were filled with appreciation.
An ordinary person would have been so excited by now they wouldn't know which way was up, but Dai Weisi clearly maintained his composure.
