Chapter 10 The Joker Theory!
"I didn't expect you to be quite wealthy!"
"It's nothing. A thousand gold soul coins might be an astronomical sum for others, but for a master, it's probably nothing, right?"
"Of course!"
Meeting Qin Yun's gaze, he swiped his hand across his belt, and a wooden box of similar size fell to the ground.
It's another storage soul tool!
Tang San was startled.
"One thousand gold soul coins, I'll take it!"
……
These past few years, with both cultivation and expenses, even a Soul King's wealth has become somewhat strained.
One thousand gold soul coins was almost all of Qin Yun's working capital, so it would be great to take this opportunity to get some money from Gangzi.
and……
Whether intentional or accidental, ever since Gangzi disappeared and Bibi Dong became the Pope of the Spirit Hall, she has been extremely considerate in using the finances of the two great empires to subsidize the income of low-level spirit masters.
As luck would have it, Gangzi happened to be among them, given his rank.
Such an outcome inevitably raises questions: Is Bibi Dong trying to win people's hearts, or is she trying to prevent Gangzi from starving to death?
With a monthly subsidy of ten gold soul coins, even if he loses it all, he shouldn't end up homeless, right?
Given his current level, Qin Yun was indeed not confident in fighting against Dragon God Douluo Mu En, nor did he have the courage to do so.
But if it comes to facing Yu Xiaogang, Qin Yun not only has the courage, but also a lot of guts!
Sure enough, under Tang San's somewhat hopeful gaze and Gangzi's somewhat nervous gaze, Qin Yun slowly spoke up.
"Mistress, do you know why this guy in front of you has made a name for himself as a theoretical master on the mainland?"
The answer is actually quite simple!
Compared to an individual's personal abilities, I prefer the mainstream cultivation atmosphere of Douluo Continent.
Highly talented Soul Masters are single-mindedly focused on increasing their Soul Power and level, wishing they could spend all their time cultivating their Martial Soul and improving their combat strength.
The goal is to elevate one's level to the highest level during the prime of life.
How could someone like that possibly waste time on theoretical research?
As for Soul Masters with low talent, they mostly come from ordinary backgrounds and have no connections or influence.
Even survival is a problem, let alone the resources and ambition to spend time researching theories.
Although Qin Yun did not say it directly, Tang San's intelligence made it easy for him to understand the meaning.
The Yu Xiaogang in front of me may be someone with an extraordinary background, but with poor aptitude.
Strength determines vision; the two paths are clearly distinct, but Yu Xiaogang just happened to emerge from them.
Born into the top-tier Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, he lacked the talent to match it.
Ambitious and unwilling to succumb to mediocrity, he could only devote all his time to theoretical research, hoping to prove himself as a theoretical master.
He certainly didn't need to worry about making a living. Besides the subsidies from the Spirit Hall, he also brought a lot of money with him when he first left the family.
With these unique advantages, after years of research, he actually developed a set of so-called ten core competencies of martial spirit.
The only comment Qin Yun could give to this theory was... the Joker theory!
"First and foremost is the first of the Ten Core Competitive Theories of Martial Souls: the magnitude of soul power is directly proportional to the quality of the Martial Soul!"
Based on this theory, Gangzi deduced that Tang San's innate full soul power was due to the relationship between his twin martial souls.
This theory is not wrong, but judging from Dugu Bo's subsequent deductions, it was clearly applied in the wrong way, and he didn't even understand the basic conditions for the appearance of twin martial souls.
Being able to fool Tang San was purely a matter of blind luck!
Besides, you don't even need to use your brain; even a toe could figure it out.
Which high-level martial spirit has weak innate soul power?
Surely you can't have a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul with innate half-level soul power, or a Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul?
"There's also the theory of spirit ring age limits!"
The first spirit ring's upper limit is 423 years, and the second spirit ring's is 764 years, with both whole and partial years.
This theory seems very professional, but in reality, as can be seen from the original work, the age of a spirit ring depends on physical fitness.
Furthermore, the soul ring configurations of anyone who can become a Limit Douluo are far from simple; they all start with ten thousand years' worth.
Moreover, the Soul Master world has developed from nothing to something over the years, and has long since developed a mature outline for absorbing Soul Rings.
Before Yu Xiaogang was around, would Soul Masters just absorb Souls randomly?
Are those older than him waiting for him to publish this theory before they find a soul beast that is no more than 500 years old as their first soul ring?
Even if Butcher Zhang dies, we won't eat pigs with hair on anymore!
"The third point concerns the development direction of theoretical Soul Masters..."
"Article 4: The theoretical amplification effect of the Martial Soul True Body is directly proportional to the quality of the Martial Soul itself; the higher the quality of the True Body, the stronger its power."
Like the third point above, this is another piece of common sense.
Which is stronger, the Seven Kill Sword's martial spirit true form or the kitchen knife's martial spirit true form? Is there even a question?
"Fifth, the theory of Martial Soul Mimicry!"
In short, it means that plant-type martial souls can absorb animal soul rings.
But here's the question: why would a plant-type spirit ring absorb a animal-type spirit ring?
What data supports the claim that, under the same martial soul, absorbing different types of soul rings results in animal soul rings having greater power than plant soul rings?
If not, why bother absorbing different types of spirit rings?
Furthermore, even without plant-based martial souls, aren't there plenty of weapon-based martial souls on the mainland?
Does this mean that when applying spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, instead of hunting beast-type spirit beasts and plant-type spirit beasts, one should hunt hammer-type spirit beasts?
When writing this theory, Qin Yun really wondered if Gangzi was just writing down whatever came to mind in his dreams!
"Article Six: If you have many rings and bones, unleash your full power in one go; if you have few rings and bones, run away as fast as you can."
Is this what you call a theory?
In a match or battle, if you encounter someone with more spirit rings than you, is it okay to just surrender?
Even a child knows the principle of running away if you can't win a fight, yet this is turned into a theory.
"Article 7: Soul ring bottlenecks do not hinder the accumulation of soul power. Even if you are stuck at a level bottleneck without acquiring a new soul ring, your soul power can still continue to accumulate. When you break through, this soul power can help you enter a higher level."
Compared to other theories, this one is somewhat useful, but not very useful.
If you're at level 10 combat power, you'll still be at level 10 combat power even after a few months. Who would intentionally hold back their level for no reason?
Furthermore, what is the upper limit for storing soul power?
Is it possible to only reach level 10, or can one keep reaching level 90?
Sorry, Gangzi is only level 29, so he doesn't know!
Article 8, The Theory of Martial Soul Integration.
Different martial souls of different attributes and types can be fused together through special methods to form a stronger martial soul fusion skill…
Article 9, The Theory of the Origin of Soul Bones.
When hunting soul beasts, if a soul beast is willing to become a soul master's soul ring, then a soul bone can be obtained.
Furthermore, if a soul beast dies after suffering extremely cruel torture, the probability of obtaining a soul bone increases.
