Chapter 19 Ye Yu's Soul Ring Origin Completion Evolution Theory, Ye Lingling's Past
"There is indeed no such theory in the current soul master world."
"This is just a reasonable speculation I made after studying my own Spirit!"
Ye Yu smiled lightly and explained slowly.
"My Spirit was originally just Blue Silver Grass with an innate soul power of level 1."
"But perhaps because I frequently consumed spiritual medicines like hundred-year-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum,"
"the abundant life essence of these medicines influenced my Blue Silver Grass Spirit, causing it to evolve!"
As he spoke, Ye Yu extended his right hand.
In a burst of silver-blue light, a Blue Silver Vine Spirit, thick as a vine, with a blue-silver body and crystal-clear skin like blue crystal, emerged.
"This is!"
Seeing the Blue Silver Vine Spirit, Ye Lingling's delicate, cold face and purple gem-like eyes widened in shock.
She could tell it was a variant of the Blue Silver Grass Spirit.
"And after my Spirit evolved, I began researching the Blue Silver Grass Spirit."
"I wanted to see if I could find a way to make it continue evolving."
After displaying the Blue Silver Vine Spirit, Ye Yu dismissed it and continued with a smile.
"I discovered that, as the weakest plant Spirit,"
"Blue Silver Grass is highly susceptible to the influence of soul rings."
"For example, a soul master with a Blue Silver Grass Spirit, after reaching level 10 and absorbing their first soul ring,"
"their Blue Silver Grass Spirit often undergoes dramatic changes, like transforming from slender grass into a vine."
"While other Spirits also change after absorbing soul rings, the changes are usually less pronounced!"
"Why is this? I believe it can be explained by the concept of a Spirit's origin."
"What is a Spirit's origin?"
"In my view, a Spirit's origin is akin to a soul beast's bloodline!"
"When a soul beast is hunted and becomes a soul ring, its bloodline transforms into a corresponding origin stored within the soul ring."
"When a soul master absorbs the soul ring, their Spirit absorbs varying amounts of this origin based on the compatibility with the soul beast's origin and the relative strength of both origins, resulting in changes."
"I believe the compatibility between a Spirit and a soul beast's origin depends on the overlap in type and characteristics."
"For example, a wolf Spirit absorbing a wolf soul beast's soul ring would have the highest compatibility, strengthening the Spirit."
"If not a wolf, absorbing soul rings from tiger, lion, or leopard soul beasts with similar traits would also work, likely enhancing the Spirit."
"But absorbing soul rings from turtle, cattle, or pig soul beasts would have low compatibility, potentially weakening the Spirit."
"As for the strength of the origin, using beast Spirits as an example, it's about the potency of the soul beast bloodline tied to the Spirit versus the soul beast providing the soul ring."
"In my opinion, the weaker the Spirit's soul beast bloodline, the more origin it absorbs from the soul ring, leading to greater changes!"
"Conversely, if the Spirit's soul beast bloodline is strong—like a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Spirit absorbing a sub-dragon soul beast's soul ring—the Spirit absorbs little to no origin, resulting in minimal change."
Before Ye Lingling, Ye Yu spoke confidently,
using the concept of a Spirit's origin to logically deduce the patterns of Spirit transformation after soul ring absorption.
According to this theory,
soul masters with beast Spirits could evolve their Spirits by finding soul beasts with high compatibility and strong bloodlines,
hunting them, and absorbing their soul rings,
allowing the Spirit to continuously absorb and grow its origin for evolution!
"I call this the Soul Ring Origin Completion Evolution Theory!"
Ye Yu concluded with a smile.
After hearing Ye Yu's explanation, Ye Lingling's delicate, cold face and purple eyes showed a hint of admiration as she said,
"Your theory is indeed very logical!"
"It fully explains why powerful Spirits often change little after absorbing soul rings,"
"while weaker Spirits undergo significant transformations!"
"Yes!"
Ye Yu nodded with a smile.
"But this theory has its limitations."
"For many soul masters, Spirit changes after absorbing soul rings are often superficial, tied to the soul rings themselves, without truly affecting the Spirit."
"In other words, the Spirit hasn't genuinely absorbed and integrated the soul beast's origin from the soul ring to evolve—it's merely cosmetic."
"I believe this is likely due to insufficient compatibility."
"Only with high enough compatibility can a Spirit truly absorb and integrate a soul ring's origin to produce real change."
"As the weakest plant soul beast, Blue Silver Grass's defining trait is its tenacious vitality—wildfires can't burn it out, and spring breezes bring it back to life!"
"Plant soul beasts with life attributes should have the highest compatibility with my Blue Silver Grass Spirit."
"So, I plan to target plant soul beasts with life attributes for my future soul rings."
"But since I haven't started absorbing soul rings yet, I'm unsure if my hypothesis is correct," Ye Yu sighed.
Ye Lingling's purple eyes, on her delicate, cold face, grew earnest as she encouraged in her cool voice,
"Student Ye Yu, I believe you'll succeed!"
"Using your own efforts to overcome your Spirit's weaknesses and evolve it—"
"finding a theoretically feasible path is already remarkable!"
Ye Lingling bit her lip, as if recalling something.
Beneath her long dark blue hair, her purple gem-like eyes reddened.
As a member of the Nine-Heart Begonia Clan, their Nine-Heart Begonia Spirit has a fatal flaw.
Her love for reading stemmed from a desire to find a way to address this flaw.
But she had never found a viable solution,
never even a theoretical possibility!
Thus, Ye Lingling couldn't help but deeply admire Ye Yu.
How she wished she could be like him!
In the days that followed,
with Ye Yu deliberately building rapport and Ye Lingling harboring a favorable impression,
their relationship progressed swiftly.
Soon, they became friends.
To deepen their bond,
Ye Yu seized an opportunity to share his backstory, portraying himself as a self-reliant orphan.
Learning that Ye Yu had lost his parents young
sparked Ye Lingling's empathy, stirring heartache for him.
She had always felt unfortunate, losing her beloved grandmother due to the Nine-Heart Begonia Spirit's flaw,
but Ye Yu's loss seemed even greater,
having been orphaned so young!
In the emotional atmosphere,
Ye Lingling also shared her own story, her sorrows, and her burdens,
hoping to find a way to mend the Nine-Heart Begonia Spirit's flaw,
so her future children wouldn't endure the same pain she had.
Ye Yu felt genuine sympathy.
Though he approached Ye Lingling strategically, his intentions were never malicious!
Hearing her story, how could he not feel compassion?
Unfortunately, Ye Yu couldn't devise a solution for the Nine-Heart Begonia Spirit's flaw.
Perhaps the fairy grass in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire
could evolve the Nine-Heart Begonia Spirit and address its defect.
This reinforced his need to get closer to Dugu Yan!
One day,
after reading together in the library,
as they left, Ye Yu suddenly smiled at Ye Lingling and said,
"Lingling, may I draw a portrait for you?"
