Chapter 54 The Meaning of the Sky
In the end, Meng Xinghe took the initiative to say that he was not used to the Dragon Clan's ability to seal elemental power, giving the proud Gu Yuena a way out, and the two then fought a thoroughly enjoyable battle.
The battle ended with Gu Yuena exhausting her soul power.
As the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena's soul power reserves are astonishing, far exceeding those of other soul masters of the same level, but that depends on who she is compared to.
Meng Xinghe has a huge advantage in terms of soul power reserves thanks to his third soul skill.
The third soul ring is a dark yellow color, bestowed by the soul spirit "Seventy-two Earthly Fiends Star Chart", and is called "Earthly Fiends Returning to Their Cave".
The effect of a Soul Skill, as the name suggests, is to channel the Earthly Fiend Qi into the acupoints.
As we all know, there are 720 acupoints in the human body, of which 108 are vital acupoints. Further subdividing these, 72 of the 108 vital acupoints are vital but not fatal, while the remaining 36 are both vital and fatal.
The Soul Skill "Earthly Fiends Return to the Cave" fills 72 vital acupoints with the Qi of the 72 Earthly Fiends, transforming them from vital acupoints into a source of energy with growth potential.
These 72 energy sources are like power banks that can automatically update their versions. They can absorb the energy of heaven and earth to store energy and use it whenever needed. Because they are capable of growth, there is no need to worry about them being phased out.
Where there are Earthly Fiends, there are naturally Heavenly Fiends.
The other corresponding soul skill is given by the soul spirit "Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Star Chart" and is called "Heavenly Gang Returning to the Acupoint". The effect of the soul skill is the same as the third soul skill, except that the 72 vital acupoints are replaced with 36 fatal acupoints.
Like Xiao Xiao, her Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron martial soul, after its first and second soul rings merge, can form a soul skill: National Treasure, Cauldron's Tremor. Meng Xinghe's two soul skills can also be combined to form the soul skill "Heaven and Earth Return to the Cave," at which time he will be perfect and flawless, with no vital points or fatal weaknesses.
With this soul skill, the Tang Sect's acupoint techniques will no longer be effective against Meng Xinghe when facing Tang San in the future.
Although he was not afraid of these things, Tang Clan kung fu was ultimately a hidden weapon, and its methods were insidious and ruthless, so he had to be on guard.
Without the constraints of elemental power, Gu Yuena unleashed her full potential in this battle. Although her combat experience seemed somewhat inexperienced compared to Meng Xinghe, forcing him to employ Oscar-worthy acting skills, she seemingly held back but in reality, she deliberately held back to finish the fight.
During the battle, Meng Xinghe focused primarily on defense, allowing him to work with Gu Yuena to get a feel for the newly forged divine weapon. He also didn't use the dragon-clan magic sword in his hand as defensive equipment.
After all, Sima Jinchi is the spirit of the Dragon Clan's magic sword, and he will feel pain when an attack hits the sword.
Meng Xinghe used his own defensive methods.
His original spirit was derived from the second spirit slot of a million-year-old spirit beast and the bloodline of a celestial god, so it can also be called the Celestial God Body.
Uranus, the god of the sky, is the embodiment of the sky, but the meaning of the sky is not simply the sky above one's head.
The term "sky" refers to the atmosphere of a planet and the vast outer space beyond it.
Among them, "empty" refers to the space of a planet's atmosphere, and "sky" refers to the space outside the atmosphere, that is, the vast and boundless universe.
That's why Meng Xinghe named his internal energy cultivation method "Metaverse".
The universe is filled with countless stars of all sizes, and the power of the sky that Meng Xinghe controls naturally includes stellar attributes, as well as a variant of stellar attributes: astrology.
The absolute effect of the astrological attribute, when combined with the first soul skill "Qi Shaping," can achieve absolute defense. Although the absolute defense only lasts for one second, it can be used multiple times, right?
Similarly, his astrological attributes can cancel out the absolute effect of Xu Xiaoyan's Star Staff Martial Soul.
Although Gu Yuena's Seven-Colored Yuan Qi Slash was incredibly powerful, it was ultimately not a god-level power and could not break through the absolute validity effect of the star attribute, so it failed to break through Meng Xinghe's defense.
Here we need to clarify one point: although Gu Yuena is holding a sword that is a quasi-super artifact, artifacts are never the same as god-level power.
The use of divine artifacts by mortals and the use of divine artifacts by deities are two different things.
Gu Yuena is now just a mortal with divine blood, unable to unleash the true power of the divine artifact, at least most of the time, except when fighting for her life.
Meng Xinghe has a clear understanding of his own soul skill plans.
His strength stems from the divine bloodline flowing through his body, and the Sky Martial Soul originates directly from the divine bloodline, granting him all his abilities. Therefore, aside from his Martial Soul True Body, the Sky Martial Soul possesses only one Soul Skill: Divine Revival.
The effect of the Soul Skill is very simple: it transforms the power of the Soul Ring into nutrients to nourish and strengthen the bloodline of the Celestial God.
He doesn't need any other soul skills under the rules of Douluo Star.
Indeed, the soul skills of Douluo Star are incredibly powerful. After a soul master becomes a god, their soul skills can also transform into divine skills, essentially granting them nine god-level skills directly. This would make gods from other cultivation systems green with envy.
However, no matter how overpowered a soul skill is, can it still compare to the bloodline of a celestial being?
As the first king of the gods in ancient Greek mythology, Uranus's exact strength in the Douluo Universe is unknown, but he is definitely no weaker than the Dragon God, a peak six-dimensional being.
Therefore, using the supermodel's soul skills as nourishment to strengthen the divine bloodline of an even more supermodel is the most correct approach.
In any case, Meng Xinghe has plenty of methods at his disposal, and he doesn't lack the soul skills provided by the nine soul ring slots of his Sky Martial Soul. Even if he really wanted soul skills, he still has the nine soul ring slots of his second Martial Soul, the Heavenly God Body, to use.
That's how he acquired his current soul skills.
The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Star Chart, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Star Chart, and the Twelve Zodiac Palaces, along with the three major spirits each providing three spirit skills, were all planned long ago.
Normally, a million-year soul ring can provide four soul skills, and the million-year soul ring that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gave to Huo Yuhao has four soul skills.
But everything is about quality, not quantity; more soul skills are not necessarily better.
As the ancients said, one person can be more powerful than a thousand troops. The same is true for soul skills; a good soul skill is better than a thousand or even more.
Each soul ring of the Celestial Body only provides one soul skill.
Meng Xinghe was like this, and Gu Yuena was in a similar situation.
She is a reincarnated deity, and her spirit rings are also divine-level spirit rings. Not to mention one spirit ring with four spirit skills, even more is not impossible.
However, she did not choose to do so. Instead, like Meng Xinghe, all the other soul skills of the Silver Dragon King Martial Soul were the same, except for the Martial Soul True Form. They were called "Silver Dragon Revival". The effect of the soul skill was similar to "Celestial God Revival", except that the Celestial God bloodline was replaced with the Silver Dragon King bloodline.
