At this moment, Yang Xiong's mind was a little hazy. Not only had he consumed a large amount of mental power, but his entire body seemed to have reached its limit, just like when he absorbed the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Soul Rings. It felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
But Yang Xiong knew very well that this was the truly critical moment. The Soul Core was currently only being controlled by his mental power to operate. For it to truly take shape, Yang Xiong's Martial Soul and the Soul Core needed to attract each other. Finally, the Martial Soul body and the Soul Core would gradually form a balance, allowing the Soul Core to operate autonomously.
Everyone around was very worried seeing Yang Xiong in this state, because in order to condense this Soul Core, Yang Xiong had completely drained the strength and vital energy from his body, making him look incredibly fragile.
At this critical moment, the Blue Silver King Head Soul Bone continuously emitted a vibrant blue energy, like an endless flow, maintaining Yang Xiong's mental stability.
Yang Xiong felt as if his body was resonating in some way, or perhaps his Martial Soul was emitting a sound of resonance.
At this moment, Yang Xiong used his last bit of clarity to gradually guide the Soul Core to operate autonomously and regularly.
Seeing that the blood-red Soul Core in front of him was completely stable, and could even rotate rapidly without Yang Xiong needing to control it with mental power, Yang Xiong knew that his Soul Core had finally been successfully condensed.
But there was one final step, the most crucial one.
Under the pull of his body, the Soul Core seemed to gradually approach his body, and finally, it passed through his skin and muscles and entered his Lower Dantian.
When the Soul Core entered the Dantian, the entire Martial Soul seemed to resonate in some way at that instant, like a core returning to its place. The Soul Core began to operate independently at that moment, and quickly absorbed soul power from the air, replenishing his body immediately.
Although Yang Xiong's mental power and soul power were completely exhausted at this moment, and he didn't have an ounce of strength left in his entire body, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
All along, when Yang Xiong fought against true Titled Douluo experts, his soul power was ultimately insufficient. But with a Soul Core, his soul power would become deeper and more continuous. Then he would definitely have the strength to truly fight a Titled Douluo for a long time.
Seeing Yang Xiong's situation, everyone around breathed a sigh of relief. It was clear that Yang Xiong had truly succeeded in condensing the Soul Core this time.
Dugu Bo, who was standing by, finally let out a sigh of relief: "What a little monster. I condensed my Poison Pill when I absorbed my ninth Soul Ring. I didn't expect you, a mere Soul Saint, to be able to do it. It seems I still underestimated you, kid."
Seeing that Yang Xiong's Soul Core had been successfully condensed, Ning Fengzhi quickly summoned the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Countless rays of light quickly merged into Yang Xiong's body, and the strength and soul power in his body also began to recover rapidly.
When Yang Xiong gradually recovered his calm, a blood-red Soul Core had appeared in his Lower Dantian. This Soul Core seemed to have completely integrated with his Martial Soul, like a part of his body, and could be called upon at any time.
Especially, the Soul Core contained extremely terrifying energy, as if it was full of strength.
This was Yang Xiong integrating all of his ultimate strength into the Soul Core, forming his first Soul Core.
When the Soul Core operated, it could not only quickly absorb energy from the air to replenish his soul power, but his cultivation speed was also significantly faster.
Especially even when he wasn't specifically meditating, the Soul Core would autonomously absorb energy from the air within his body. This meant that the Soul Core could greatly increase cultivation time and also increase the training speed during meditation. It could be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.
Everyone present looked at Yang Xiong's successfully condensed Soul Core, and they all marveled. They seemed to have seen a completely new path of cultivation.
Especially the Titled Douluo present, their cultivation speed had slowed down a lot since they entered the Titled Douluo realm. The Soul Core condensed by Yang Xiong might allow them to see a path forward.
In contrast, Ning Fengzhi seemed more serious. Clearly, he understood the significance of the Soul Core to the Soul Master world even more, and he understood the impact of the Soul Core on some large sects and major forces.
Especially some Soul Douluo at level eighty-nine, due to talent and other reasons, were stuck in a chasm their entire lives, unable to advance further. If they could break through the final limit and enter the Titled Douluo realm by condensing a Soul Core, wouldn't that allow for the elevation of more experts?
Of course, if Titled Douluo could also condense Soul Cores, there might even be a crushing gap among the top experts in the future.
"Little Xiong, do you feel any difference after condensing this Poison Pill?"
Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking: "Sect Leader, I have named this Poison Pill a Soul Core. It is the core of our soul power and even our Martial Soul."
"With this Soul Core, I feel that my soul power seems to have become deeper, and I can fight for a longer time during battles."
"Of course, the most important thing is that after condensing this Soul Core, my cultivation speed seems to have increased by a full twenty percent. Especially when I don't need to fight or in other scenarios, the Soul Core can also operate autonomously, which means I can cultivate at all times. This is one of the most important aspects of the Soul Core."
Hearing Yang Xiong's words, everyone's eyes lit up. Wasn't this Soul Core specifically designed to address the slow progress of Titled Douluo?
Ning Fengzhi immediately spoke, "Little Xiong, is there any risk in cultivating this Soul Core? I saw you seemed a bit exhausted of soul power just now. I'm afraid others won't be able to condense a Soul Core as easily as you."
Yang Xiong nodded, "That is indeed the case. To condense a Soul Core, both the body and mental strength are required to be very high. According to my estimation, one must at least reach the Titled Douluo level to be able to condense a Soul Core. Only the mental strength of a Titled Douluo can support the entire process of Soul Core condensation."
"Of course, Sect Leader, you should also know that I myself possess a top-grade Head Soul Bone, and my mental strength has long reached the Titled Douluo level. But even so, during the final process of Soul Core condensation, whether it was soul power or mental strength, I felt a bit overwhelmed. Therefore, to condense a Soul Core, it is best to be a Titled Douluo."
"Of course, if there are some top-tier Soul Douluo who are unable to break through to the Titled Douluo level due to physical limitations, the Soul Core might allow them to break through the final shackles."
Everyone was shocked again upon hearing this. One must know that in the world of Douluo I, Titled Douluo are all great figures, absolutely capable of suppressing a Sect.
The reason the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon declined was precisely because they never had a second Titled Douluo appear.
However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had many top-tier Soul Douluo. For example, Yu Luomian of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, who was the younger brother of Yu Yuanzhen, certainly didn't lack any resources, but he was always stuck at level eighty-nine. Even after exhausting all his efforts, he couldn't break through.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had a second Titled Douluo, they probably wouldn't have lost so miserably back then.
And within the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there were also two Soul Douluo at level eighty-nine. Unfortunately, these two couldn't break through even after exhausting all their efforts, and it was useless no matter how many resources Ning Fengzhi provided.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi was exceptionally serious, "It's best if you don't go out for a while. Organize all the specific procedures for condensing the Soul Core this time. Perhaps the appearance of the Soul Core is the opportunity for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to become powerful, and perhaps it can allow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to achieve a qualitative leap."
Yang Xiong nodded, "Sect Leader, I understand. I will organize the method for condensing the Soul Core as quickly as possible. However, the process of condensing the Soul Core is very dangerous. If you are not a Titled Douluo or an eighty-ninth level Soul Douluo, do not attempt it easily, otherwise there is over a ninety percent chance of perishing. Even a Titled Douluo who wants to condense a Soul Core needs multiple experts around to watch."
Ning Fengzhi and the others didn't say anything more. However, Dugu Bo had a look of wanting to speak but hesitating.
"Senior Poison Douluo, do you have any suggestions?"
Only then did Dugu Bo say helplessly, "Little monster, I see that this Soul Core you've researched seems to be quite useful to me. How about I try it first and see if I can successfully condense a Soul Core?"
Yang Xiong looked at Dugu Bo and said helplessly, "Senior Poison Douluo, you've already condensed a Poison Pill, what do you need a Soul Core for?"
"Furthermore, based on my research just now, I'm afraid each person can only condense one Soul Core. If a second Soul Core appears in the body at the same time, the two Soul Cores will likely repel each other, ultimately causing the body to explode and die."
"Of course, if there is a special method that allows two Soul Cores to coexist, both recovery ability and strength can be greatly improved, but it is a hundred times more dangerous than the first Soul Core. I'm afraid I would only dare to try it when I reach the Titled Douluo level."
"This method of condensing the Soul Core was researched based on your Poison Pill. You naturally have a copy, but Senior, it's best not to spread it easily, otherwise I'm afraid it will attract the covetousness of the Spirit Hall."
Dugu Bo quickly said, "Don't worry about that, I naturally won't spread it easily. In fact, besides myself, I will absolutely not tell anyone."
...
In the following few days, everyone's attention was completely focused on Soul Core condensation.
Unexpectedly, the first person to condense a Soul Core was not someone else, but his own teacher, Lin Gong.
Lin Gong had already reached the Titled Douluo level, and he was very interested in the research and development of the Soul Master world, so he disregarded his own risks and insisted on being the first to prepare to condense a Soul Core.
Fortunately, Lin Gong himself possessed a top-tier Head Soul Bone and had extensive research on the operation of Martial Souls and soul power, but the process was also extremely dangerous. He finally condensed the first Soul Core after experiencing various difficulties.
However, when Lin Gong's first Soul Core was condensed, he seemed exceptionally happy. At the same time, he provided a large number of suggestions and new ideas based on the Soul Core research process, even making the entire process more refined and simpler.
Following Lin Gong's successful research, the method of Soul Core condensation quickly spread among the top echelons of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The two eighty-ninth level Soul Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, after some deliberation, both decided to risk their lives to condense a Soul Core.
One must know that the process of condensing a Soul Core is very dangerous, and if one breaks through to Titled Douluo by condensing a Soul Core, future advancement will also be limited by the Soul Core. It can be said that in order to break through, they basically limited their future development.
But the two were resolute and decided to make one last push, after all, they had been Soul Douluo for too long.
These two were elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, holding quite high positions within the Sect, and were loyal to the Sect.
One of these two had a Golden Eagle Martial Soul, while the other had a Vajra Demon Ape Martial Soul, both of which were very top-tier Beast Martial Souls.
After the two broke through to Titled Douluo, they were respectively named Golden Eagle Douluo and Demon Ape Douluo, and their strength was quite good.
Golden Eagle Douluo's flying speed was extremely fast, but it was still somewhat inferior to the purely agile Bai He. His attack power was very strong, not a purely agile attack type Soul Master, but rather a combination of agile attack type and strong attack type Soul Masters.
Demon Ape Douluo was both offensive and defensive, especially with incredibly strong Strength. In all aspects, he was somewhat similar to Zhao Wuji's Vajra Bear, but his Strength was slightly inferior to the Vajra Bear, while his flexibility was much stronger than the Vajra Bear.
