The Violated Theory

Chapter 22 The Violated Theory

Looking at the tall, solitary bamboo in front of me.

Li Xun nodded.

The fact that it has been able to propagate bamboo forests to their current size proves that this latent talent of its is quite good. Moreover, it is the main bamboo, so its own growth ability should also be very strong.

"Brother, what should we do if Teacher Qin Ming didn't come?"

Ning Rongrong glanced back.

Li Xun took out a saw from his soul tool: "It's alright. I was just worried he might not be reliable, so I prepared in advance."

He had already taken precautions when he agreed to come with Qin Ming.

If the other party doesn't agree to let him absorb the thousand-year-old bamboo, he can do it himself.

Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan had complicated expressions when they saw Li Xun take out the saw.

"Little brother Li Xun, it seems you're very determined!" Dugu Yan laughed heartily.

Li Xun chuckled but didn't reply. Instead, he picked up the saw and began sawing at the bamboo.

Although the bamboo is not aggressive, its toughness makes it difficult to cut with knives or axes.

Sometimes, the recoil can even cause injury to oneself.

Even with a saw, Li Xun found it very difficult.

He had been sawing for five minutes before he had just managed to break through the outer skin of the thousand-year-old bamboo.

Li Xun got up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He couldn't help but look up at the sky, but the sky above the bamboo forest was already blocked by green leaves.

Perhaps he noticed Li Xun's gaze.

A thin wisp of sword energy descended from the sky, heading straight for the thousand-year-old solitary bamboo.

Squeak—

As the sword energy swept past, the thousand-year-old bamboo emitted a piercing sound and fell to one side.

Boom—

The towering bamboo, reaching a height of twenty meters, made a loud noise when it touched the ground.

Dugu Yan's expression turned solemn: "Is it a senior from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

She was watching Li Xun's antics with her arms crossed when suddenly a wisp of sword energy appeared in the sky.

The moment that wisp of sword energy appeared, it sent chills down her spine.

"It's Grandpa Jian," Ning Rongrong said happily from the side.

Dugu Yan asked in surprise, "Is it His Majesty Sword Douluo?"

"Yes, I already told them when I came out." Li Xun nodded.

He then looked at the last connection point of the bamboo.

Soul Masters need to hunt for their own Soul Rings, so even if someone helps, they still need to leave the final blow for the person absorbing the Soul Ring.

The same applies to Sword Douluo's attack.

"Li Xun, what are you doing? Have you forgotten what the academy taught you?"

Just as Li Xun was about to finish off Guzhu, a shout came from afar.

Li Xun looked up and saw Yu Xiaogang and his group, with Qin Ming speaking.

"Kill soul beasts! What else can I do?" Li Xun replied casually, his hands still moving.

Squeak—

The saw rubbed against the bamboo, making a piercing noise.

"Li Xun, do you know how many years old this Guzhu tree is?" Yu Xiaogang raised his hand to stop Qin Ming, who was about to speak.

He slowly walked up to Li Xun.

Li Xun didn't look up: "I know."

Squeak—

Yu Xiaogang's expression was serious: "Do you know the absorption limit of a Soul Master's Soul Rings among the ten core competitive advantages of a Martial Soul?"

"I know." Li Xun didn't look up and continued sawing the bamboo.

Squeak—

"Since you knew that, why did you still choose the Thousand-Year-Old Lonely Bamboo as your second soul ring?"

Seeing that Li Xun had no intention of stopping, Yu Xiaogang frowned and clenched his fists.

Li Xun's answer and the gazes of those around him made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"I felt I could absorb it, so I chose it." Li Xun turned the saw over.

crunch—

"Hmph! The absorption limit for a Soul Master's second Soul Ring is seven hundred years, while this Guzhu is a twelve-hundred-year-old Soul Beast. Forcibly absorbing it is undoubtedly courting death."

Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and turned to return the way he came.

He came here simply to see Li Xun's martial spirit.

But the other party, knowing the absorption limit of spirit rings, still insisted on acquiring them. This undoubtedly showed their distrust of the ten core theories of martial spirits he had researched.

When this kid explodes and dies.

Let these people see what will happen if they go against his theories.

Boom—

As the last bit of the skin was cut off.

When the bamboo touched the ground, it made a dull thud.

A purple soul ring condensed above the bamboo body.

Upon hearing the noise, Yu Xiaogang paused and walked to Tang San's side.

"Teacher, do you think he can absorb this spirit ring?" Tang San asked doubtfully.

Yu Xiaogang frowned, his expression serious, and asked in a stiff voice, "What is the seventh of the ten core competencies of Xiao San's Martial Soul?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"The absorption limit for the first spirit ring is 423 years, and for the second spirit ring it is 764 years." Seeing his teacher angry, Tang San quickly stood up straight, lowered his head, and recited the theory.

"Looks like you haven't forgotten my teachings, mistress."

Yu Xiaogang nodded, his tone softening slightly: "With your talent, your second spirit ring is still within seven hundred years. Do you think he can surpass you?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San clenched his fists and looked indifferently at Li Xun, who was absorbing the spirit ring.

He possesses two unique martial souls, a rare privilege recorded in the entire continent, numbering only three.

Naturally, he is stronger than the average person.

Furthermore, the teacher confirmed the truth of his theory through the first two spirit rings of the Blue Silver Grass.

This person is attempting to shatter a proven theory.

That was truly a righteous way to die.

Li Xun had no idea what the master and disciple were thinking; at that moment, he was drawing his soul ring.

When the spirit ring was placed on the Thousand-Hand Buddha, a surge of power instantly flowed into all parts of his body.

There were no anticipated risks or pains, as if they had never existed.

Everything fell into place naturally.

"That simple? Is it because Guzhu has a gentle nature?"

A short while later, Li Xun slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the martial spirit that was gradually regaining its vitality, he thought, "What a loss. It seems that this 1,200-year-old Guzhu is not my limit. My limit should be around 1,300 years."

Before absorbing the Guzhu, he didn't know his own limits. For safety's sake, he set that limit at 1200 years.

"I never expected that Wood Release and Whale Glue would have such a significant impact on improving my body."

The efficacy of whale gelatin diminishes drastically with repeated use, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is incredibly wealthy.

Over the past year...

He and Ning Rongrong have almost started treating whale gelatin as a daily medicinal diet.

By the end, even he didn't know if it was still useful.

Li Xun slowly stood up from the ground, stretched his body, and felt that he was now full of strength.

"The attributes attached to the second spirit ring are much better than I expected." Li Xun sensed the second spirit ring.

Although he did not gain any active skills, he was given three passive skills.

Plant resilience increased by 80%, plant growth accelerated by 40%, and plant population growth increased by 20%.

Simply put, it means higher defense, faster casting, and double casting.

"Rapid firepower coverage is always the best strategy!" Li Xun grinned.

Just as Li Xun was confronting the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King.

Everyone present was shocked, as this overturned their understanding.

"this"

Qin Ming stared at the two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, beneath Li Xun's feet, speechless.

Then he suddenly realized something and quickly turned his head to look at Yu Xiaogang.

But then they saw that Master Yu Xiaogang's body was trembling slightly.

"That's impossible."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot, he was panting heavily, and he looked somewhat lost and dejected.

Because his proud theory was refuted to his face today.
