Douluo Continent: God Descends

Chapter 23 Promotion Sequence 7: Psychiatrist

Even in this era where spirits have replaced spirit rings, the Limit Break style still has many followers.

With the Spirit Pagoda providing stable attribute spirits, spirit masters no longer need to venture into the dangerous Spirit Beast Forest. They can simply pay a sufficient price to accurately advance towards their chosen ultimate direction.

Even the once-powerful Body Sect, which was extremely popular ten thousand years ago, can essentially be considered a branch of the Limitless Style. All their soul skills revolve around "Body Amplification," striving to tap their own potential to the extreme.

The core effect of "Constraint Domain" is precisely to dispel all amplification methods.

This means that the attribute enhancement that Limit Flow Soul Masters are so proud of and rely on for survival will be completely ineffective within the domain's range.

Those Limit Flow Soul Masters who rely on layers of amplification to unleash terrifying combat power will fall from their peak as soon as they step into the Restriction Domain, as if their spine has been removed.

An image involuntarily flashed through Lu Xingchen's mind: when he faced a nine-ring Limit Flow Title Douluo, the opponent confidently activated all his amplification soul skills, his soul power surged several times, and his aura shook the heavens and the earth.

But at that moment, he opened his restraint domain, and golden holy light enveloped the surroundings. The amplification light on the opponent's body instantly dimmed and dissipated, and the majestic aura receded like a tide, returning to its unamplified state.

The fall from the clouds to the bottom, the despair of having one's proud power stripped away in an instant, is enough to destroy the will of any Limit Flow Soul Master.

However, the weakness of the restraint field is also very obvious. Although it can weaken the enemy's amplification soul skills, if the enemy is strong enough, he can easily kill Lu Xingchen even without the amplification.

At the same time, it can only weaken rather than eliminate energy attacks, which means that if the enemy is a magic turret, it can also be attacked by spells from a distance.

"We can't expect too much. After all, it's just the first soul skill, and it's already a pleasant surprise to have this effect."

Lu Xingchen was quite satisfied with the effect of this soul skill, and the age of the first soul spirit was also high enough.

The fact that a hundred-year-old spirit could grant him two spirit rings meant that he could directly cultivate to the level of a Great Soul Master.

"Then, let's hold the promotion ceremony here as well."

Lu Xingchen felt the surging soul power within his body and realized that his current state was already as good as it could be. So he prepared to advance to the seventh sequence of the 'Audience' path: Psychotherapist.

"The omnipotent creator..."

……

"Is this what it feels like to become a Sequence Seven: Psychiatrist? It doesn't seem to offer much of a physical improvement."

Lu Xingchen walked on the streets of Tianhai City. The bluestone pavement under his feet was slightly hot from the sun. He subconsciously clenched his fists and felt the changes in his body.

The tightness and strength of the muscles seemed to be no different from before, and the touch from the fingertips was still familiar, without any obvious qualitative change due to the advancement in sequence.

The "audience" approach is not about strengthening the physical body; its core lies in the insight and control at the spiritual level, and the transformation brought about by each advancement is concentrated in the realm of consciousness.

Once he understood this, he felt no more disappointed and instead focused his attention on his mental perception. In just a moment of concentration, a clarity far beyond what he had experienced before swept over his entire consciousness.

"The improvement in mental strength far exceeded my expectations," Lu Xingchen muttered to himself, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

Previously at the Spirit Pagoda in Tianhai City, he deliberately concealed his abilities during the test of his spiritual power, only revealing about half of it. But even so, the value displayed on the testing instrument still reached 152.

Based on this ratio, his true spiritual power value, which he did not reveal at the time, should have been around 304, which is already far beyond the level of other Soul Masters of the same age.

But not long ago, after completing the Sequence Seven advancement ceremony in his hotel room, his mental strength experienced a qualitative leap.

During the advancement process, his sea of ​​consciousness seemed to be broadened and deepened by an invisible force. His spiritual power, which was originally like a stream, instantly transformed into a surging ocean, breaking through the previous shackles and directly entering the "Spirit Sea Realm" recognized by the Soul Master world.

Although it is not possible to accurately measure the current value of mental strength through instruments for the time being, the exhilarating feeling of breaking through the bottleneck and the fullness of the sea of ​​consciousness at this moment are absolutely true.

According to common knowledge in the Soul Master world, the spiritual power of a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator, when converted into a specific value, is at least 500 or more.

Many Soul Masters on the mainland never reach this level in their entire lives.

Lu Xingchen is only five and a half years old. Although his soul power level is only level twelve, his mental power has reached a level comparable to that of a Soul Saint.

This extreme imbalance between spirit and soul power is rare in the entire history of Soul Masters.

"But how should one portray a psychologist?"

After the initial joy, Lu Xingchen couldn't help but worry about the role she was playing. As the name "psychologist" suggests, it's a role that requires helping others resolve their psychological issues and mental distress.

The problem is that he currently looks like a five-and-a-half-year-old child.

As the saying goes, "A young man with no experience is unreliable." Doctors are a profession that relies heavily on experience and qualifications, especially in the diagnosis and treatment of psychological and mental health issues, where sufficient credibility and experience are essential.

Imagine a child who is still wet behind the ears walking up to an adult and saying that he or she can help them solve their mental problems. He or she would probably just be seen as a child's innocent joke, or even as a prank. Who would really believe in his or her abilities?

"You can't just stop someone out of nowhere and say, 'Your face looks dark, you're not in a good mental state, let me give you some guidance,' can you?"

Lu Xingchen shook his head helplessly, the absurd scene flashing through his mind, making him feel both amused and exasperated.

"Never mind, there's always a way out."

After a moment, he gently patted his cheeks, trying to dispel the troubles in his heart.

Accumulating experience in role-playing is not something that can be done overnight. Perhaps there is no need to rush things now. It is better to adapt to the power of Sequence Seven first, and then slowly look for suitable opportunities.

He looked up at the sky. The midday sun hung high in the sky, its golden rays bathing the earth and making everything on the street exceptionally bright.

It's still early, and since we've come all this way, we can't go back empty-handed.

"Since we've come all this way, let's add some more to the Chaos Sea's collection."

Previously, most of the items that Lu Xingchen put into the Chaos Sea were abandoned items from orphanages: trash cans, mops, and the like.

Now that he's finally out on a trip, he's determined to do some shopping.

At the very least, you should buy some powerful weapons, like kitchen knives and forks; who knows, they might turn into supernatural items someday.
