Chapter 506: Summer Cicada
"understood!"
Xiao Wu understood immediately, "But the old monster's inner world must be very small, right? There are only nine snakes. The rest of the scene is just some crooked abstract patterns. It's hard to see clearly."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo looked a little embarrassed. He retracted his martial soul, and the halo behind him disappeared, instead of being absorbed into the body like a soul ring - this also meant that Zhou Qing's guess was correct. The halo was when Dugu Bo opened up his inner world. After he lost his soul ring, due to the rules of heaven and earth, when he used his martial soul and soul skills, the inner world would be projected onto the outside world in some way.
"I've just started this kind of practice. I've never heard of many meridians and acupoints before."
Dugu Bo defended himself, and then said, "However, after completing the development of the inner scene, I have achieved a near-perfect fusion with my martial soul. In the future, it seems that I only need to focus on the accumulation of soul power and the coordination between the operation of soul power in the human body and the martial soul itself... The bottleneck seems to no longer exist."
To be honest, he couldn't imagine how much of a sensation this cultivation method would cause if it were spread.
With the opening of the inner scene, the martial soul and the human body can achieve a near-perfect fusion, as if there is no longer any bottleneck before level 100.
If one considers the behavior of the God of Love, Dugu Bo even suspects that there won't be too big of a bottleneck after the soul power reaches level 100.
How many level 100 warriors will appear in the future?
Dugu Bo couldn't imagine it.
Now, he has two choices.
First, if he kills these guys in front of him and monopolizes this method, he will be able to achieve level 100 in the future.
Secondly, by becoming their guardian on their path to growth, they will surely be able to research more powerful methods in the future, which will also benefit them, and they will surely be one step faster than others.
There is no doubt that Dugu Bo chose the latter.
After all, he is not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity, and although he seems to be a loner with few friends, he actually hates "loneliness".
In the past, he also believed that the strong were always lonely at heart and would not have any real friends, but after meeting Zhou Qing and others, he discovered that -
That's bullshit!
Although Zhou Qing was a money-grubber, it was really relaxing to be with him, especially in recent days, he had seen how these people got along with each other. Even Wang Sheng, who had extremely poor martial spirit talent, could be on equal terms with Zhou Qing and Tang San.
Even Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu once called Wang Sheng "Brother Wang".
This is simply impossible to happen in the world of soul masters!
Soul masters have always respected strength, and age does not matter. As long as they are strong, the weak have to call the strong seniors, but this will not happen in this team.
Unless it is a more formal occasion or when they are joking, these people usually address each other in a very casual manner.
Brother Zhou, Brother San, Sister Xiaowu, Sister Tina...
It's just a matter of seniority being disorganized!
But Dugu Bo was very envious of such an atmosphere. He even seemed to have regained his youthfulness, as if the youthfulness he had once lost had also returned.
"The bottleneck still exists." Zhou Qing said, "After all, after opening up the inner world, what we should do in the future is to constantly improve the world, that is, to observe everything in the natural world, constantly sort out our own meridians, and replicate them in the inner world... Well, it depends on our own martial soul and the situation of the inner world."
"Haha, you are too serious when it comes to cultivation, kid."
Dugu Bo smiled, stretched, and said, "I don't know if Yanyan will recognize me when she sees me like this..."
The trip to Sunset Forest has come to an end for Zhou Qing and others.
Of the immortal treasures in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, except for the one plant of Acacia Heartbreak that flew into Zhou Qing's heart along with the Goddess of Light Butterfly due to uncontrollable factors, none of the others were taken away.
But even so, everyone gained a lot, especially the patterns of the fairy herbs, which had been replicated by Romantina. In the future, Tang San would just analyze, summarize, and organize them, and then integrate them into a core soul guide formation. After several experiments, he might be able to replicate the abilities of the fairy herbs.
"Brother Qing, have you decided on the choice for the fourth spirit ring?" Tang San asked Zhou Qing about the choice for the fourth spirit ring.
"The chirping summer cicada."
Zhou Qing had already made a decision.
Cicadas, this kind of insect, is easily overlooked, but Zhou Qing knows the power of cicadas -
The generator of the cicada is in its abdomen, which looks like a big drum covered with an eardrum. The eardrum vibrates and makes sound.
Because the cicada's vocal muscles can contract and retract about 10,000 times per second, and there is air between the cover and the eardrum, which can resonate, its chirping sound is particularly loud.
Insects generally do not have a heart with a complex structure like humans, or in other words, they do not have a heart with a complex structure like vertebrates. They only have organs that provide pressure and power for circulation in the body, which are mainly located in the insect's abdomen, which can expand and contract rapidly.
The abdomen of the cicada can be completely considered as the heart of the cicada.
In the Douluo Continent, the summer cicada is a soul beast, but it still retains the characteristics of an ordinary insect. Its abdomen is also its "heart".
The summer cicada is of fire attribute, which meets Zhou Qing's needs. Moreover, the number of times its singing muscles can expand and contract in one second is definitely more than 30,000 times!
If he could inherit this skill, Zhou Qing was sure that once he used the fourth soul skill, the function of blood circulation in his martial soul would be fully exerted!
Only discussing the effects of soul skills, the first soul skill strengthens fist strength; the second soul skill strengthens leg strength; the third soul skill strengthens lung circulation; then the remaining fourth soul skill is needed to truly strengthen body circulation.
In addition to this, the three elements of earth, water and wind, and the three seasons of spring, autumn and winter have all been completed, leaving only the element and season of fire and summer.
The chirping of summer cicadas can help him replenish the element of fire.
As for the concept of "summer"——
Zhou Qing was not entirely sure whether the summer cicada could make up for it for him, but the three soul beasts with season names, Mooing Spring Ox, Dancing Winter Rabbit, and Windy Autumn Bird, did represent the four seasons of Douluo Continent in some way, so the same should be true for the summer cicada.
Moreover, in my previous life, cicadas were the symbol of summer!
Therefore, since I have already gambled three times, I must gamble the fourth time as well, so that the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter in my heart can be complete and correspond one by one to the twenty-four vertebrae, and based on this, I can open up an inner world that truly belongs to me!
"Singing summer cicadas?"
Dugu Bo frowned, "I know this kind of soul beast too. It keeps barking in the summer, which is quite annoying. Although it has fire attribute, its attack method is very strange. It keeps beating its abdomen, making its whole body hot, and then it hits with its body... It's a very stupid soul beast."
In his opinion, the summer cicadas should develop sonic attacks. After all, their voices are extremely high, and if they can be used directly for attack, it will be hard to defend against.
But Zhou Qing knew that it was impossible for the summer cicada to evolve sonic attacks.
Even after becoming soul beasts, they are still cicadas. The sound produced by the vocalizer on the male abdomen is just a signal to attract female cicadas, and is essentially the vibration of the abdomen.
"but--"
Dugu Bo continued, "It's autumn and winter now. It's hard to find summer cicadas in this sunset forest..."
