Chapter 47: Compressing Soul Power, Starting the Thunder Body Forging
To be honest,
compressing soul power is extremely exhausting.
It consumes not only physical energy, but also spirit!
Ye Yu practiced the inner alchemy method to compress the soul power in his body, and after just over an hour, he was thoroughly drained.
He had to rest and recover before continuing.
Fortunately, due to the strengthening effect of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone,
and its second soul skill: Wildfire can't burn it out, spring breeze brings life again,
plus the vitality and recovery boost brought by the absorption of four plant-type spirit beast soul rings,
Ye Yu's physical recovery rate was exceptionally fast!
As for mental recovery,
when not compressing soul power and simply practicing the inner alchemy method,
his spirit recovered quickly due to entering a pseudo-unity with heaven and nature.
So that night,
Ye Yu would compress his soul power for a while, then sit and meditate to practice the inner alchemy method, and then resume compressing.
Just like that—on and on!
"Ayu, how is it?"
By the next morning,
when Ye Yu finally opened his eyes, Dugu Yan's beautiful and heroic face was filled with expectation and hope.
"It's halfway successful!"
Ye Yu sensed the soul power in his body, thought for a moment, and replied:
"Now the soul power compressed in my body takes up about two-thirds of what it did before in the dantian."
"I feel like with my current physical condition, I can compress it further."
"If I compress it to half the original level, it would be equivalent to around level 23."
At this point, Ye Yu couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
He had no scientific explanation for the nature of soul power.
But he noticed that after compressing soul power,
any soul power restored during practice retained the compressed quality.
Does soul power have memory?
Once compressed, does it retain that compressed state?
Since Heaven Dou Royal Academy no longer served much purpose to him—
you see,
Ye Yu initially enrolled in Heaven Dou Royal Academy to get close to Dugu Yan as a classmate and
to access the rare soul master and spirit beast knowledge stored in its library.
Especially materials related to plant-type spirit beasts with life attributes, which were most relevant to him.
But due to his photographic memory, in nearly two years of study,
Ye Yu had already read and memorized all the books that were useful to him.
So Ye Yu asked Dugu Yan to request an indefinite leave from the academy on his behalf.
He planned to continue compressing his soul power in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire!
And in the meantime, review the Thunder Body Forging Technique that he won from Yu Tianheng.
Study it carefully, practice it in real conditions,
and eventually create his own version of the Thunder Body Forging Method!
In the blink of an eye, more than two days passed.
At the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire,
Ye Yu finally compressed his soul power to the limit of his current physical capability.
In terms of level—disregarding quality and quantity—it now matched level 23.
The next task was to restore his soul power from level 23 back to level 47.
Due to the compression,
his soul power recovery rate during practice was much slower than before.
However, with the rich spiritual energy of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire,
and the presence of Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin and the large field of blue silver grass growing around as a mimicry training field,
Ye Yu's practice efficiency remained high.
Thanks to the inner alchemy method and his spiritual resonance with the surrounding natural energy,
Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin and the newly sprouted blue silver grass were also stimulated, speeding up their cultivation!
Especially the blue silver grass.
In the unique environment of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire,
newly sprouted grass quickly reached the equivalent of one year's growth in just a few days!
Once Ye Yu had recovered his compressed level 47 soul power,
he took out the handwritten Thunder Body Forging Technique from the Jade Dragon Bracelet and began reading it.
He had to admit, as a self-created soul skill of the Douluo Continent,
the Thunder Body Forging Technique was surprisingly straightforward.
Essentially, a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit master would convert their soul power into lightning power,
first using it to stimulate unimportant body parts like the flesh of the limbs, to help the body gradually adapt.
This also enhanced the spirit master's control over the lightning energy converted from their soul power,
allowing them to develop an accurate sense of intensity and resistance to it.
After that, the body could be tempered more broadly.
In this technique, understanding the intensity of converted lightning energy was critical.
It was described in terms of thunder pressure.
You start with a low thunder pressure level for tempering the body.
As the body's resistance grows stronger, the thunder pressure can be increased.
Each stage has clear benchmarks.
If one recklessly uses thunder pressure beyond their body's limit,
the wild lightning energy could cause serious damage!
However, Ye Yu wasn't worried about this.
Thanks to the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone's second soul skill, and the soul rings of plant-type spirit beasts with life attributes, he had extremely strong recovery power.
Not to mention, the ten-thousand-year Thundering Hell Vine soul ring granted his body resistance to lightning attributes.
This greatly reduced the harm of lightning damage during practice.
He also possessed an external soul bone, Thundering Hell Vine, that could absorb lightning energy.
All these factors meant that the usual restrictions and dangers of Thunder Body Forging were practically irrelevant to him!
Ye Yu couldn't help but smile.
Then, Ye Yu began practicing the Thunder Body Forging Technique at the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
First, he converted his soul power into thunder energy to temper his body.
In addition to his own converted lightning power,
Ye Yu also had the external soul bone Thunder Hell Gun, which could release thunder energy.
And his third soul skill—Crossing Tribulation Ascension—could summon Heavenly Thunder to temper the body directly.
In the future, there was no need to worry about insufficient lightning strength!
Meanwhile, back in Heaven Dou Imperial City,
after Ye Yu's recent breakthrough,
he had not only stunned more than a dozen classmates at Heaven Dou Royal Academy by overwhelming them in combat,
but also easily defeated Yu Tianheng, one of the twin stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
This shocked not only the students,
but the entire Academy.
Thanks to word-of-mouth spread by Heaven Dou students who witnessed the battle,
Ye Yu's name quickly swept through the soul master world of Heaven Dou Imperial City!
And because Ye Yu had been recommended into Heaven Dou Royal Academy by Qian Renxue,
to some extent, he was considered her man.
When news of Ye Yu's incredible growth reached them,
the three teaching committee members of Heaven Dou Academy hurriedly reported it to Qian Renxue in a state of shock.
None of them expected that
Ye Yu, who had entered the school with only innate level 1 soul power and a mere mutated Blue Silver Vine spirit,
and who had still been a level 10 spirit warrior at the time,
could, in just two or three years,
become a powerful soul master who defeated the twin star Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan!
Such a genius—
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not afford to overlook!
> After absorbing t
he Thundering Hell Vine soul ring, the protagonist's soul power also possesses thunder attributes and can be transformed into lightning energy.
