Although both methods can enhance the strength, they have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Soul refining is more advanced and powerful, but it consumes a lot of spiritual power and cannot be used for a long time.
Although the soul source absorption can't exert all the power of the soul source in the soul bead, it can even consume the soul source, but this way consumes little Reiki.
Relatively speaking, if the soul source is sufficient, in order to fight for a long time, it will be better to use this method.
Therefore, this is what Chen Hongyuan intends to do. Maybe in other people's eyes, it seems that he is stupid to do so.
But is he really that stupid? Will he not understand what everyone knows?
Obviously not!
Soul refining is really powerful and has advantages, but it's not suitable for him now.
Because he also wants to show his strength in front of the Chen family, we already know that he has understood the soul refining technique. If he uses the soul refining technique to win Chen Hongxing, we may not think about it, or even take it for granted.
Then he will defeat Chen Hongxing without using soul refining.
Of course, there is a more important reason, that is just in case!
He found that he underestimated Chen Hongxing because his strength grew too fast. Now he even understood the soul refining technique. What if he had more means?
If he uses soul refining with his opponent now, and his spiritual power will be consumed too much at that time, wouldn't he have wasted so much effort before?
And this duel is too important for him, so even if Chen Hongxing's strength is not as good as him, he can't underestimate the enemy.
What's more, he may not be able to determine the strength of Chen Hongxing now. It's better to be cautious.
At this time, as Chen Hongyuan absorbed more and more soul sources, his breath became more and more powerful.
"I really want to die, and dare to continue to absorb it!" However, when Chen Hongxing saw that this guy had not stopped absorbing the soul source, his heart began to contradict.
On the one hand, he hopes that Chen Hongyuan can absorb more soul sources. In this way, the power of the soul source in his soul bead will become weaker and weaker.
But on the other hand, he feels that Chen Hongyuan's breath is getting stronger and stronger, which makes him feel uneasy. He is afraid that this guy's breath is getting stronger and stronger, which is not inferior to him.
But in his heart, he felt that this possibility was impossible. After all, soul refining could gather all the soul sources in the soul bead, and it was impossible to directly absorb the power of the soul source.
So according to the truth, no matter how he absorbs the soul source in this way, Chen Hongyuan can't compare with his strength.
In this way, to let him absorb more and more sourses is to let him consume more and more sourses. At that time, even if he uses soul refining again to gather all the soul power, he can't be his opponent.
However, all this is said from the normal situation, because at this time, Chen Hongyuan's breath has made him feel threatened.
"Does this guy absorb all the soul sources? How is that possible? " Chen Hongxing is so tangled that he can't help rushing up.
Doesn't this guy want to use soul refining anymore? Actually absorbed so many soul sources?
"I really can't understand Hongyuan any more. If he goes on like this, he will lose at least half of his soul. Is he crazy?" Chen Hongning didn't become satisfied because of Chen Hongyuan's strong breath, but more satisfied.
He felt that Chen Hongyuan didn't think about the consequences. If he continued to absorb it like this, he would lose a lot. Even if he used soul refining, it would be useless, because the soul source was not strong enough.
"Maybe he has his own idea?" Chen Tianxing doesn't know how Chen Hongyuan, who has always been smart and steady, can do such a stupid thing at this critical moment.
"Even if he has his own ideas, he can't be so wasteful. Does he really feel that his soul source has reached saturation?" Chen Hongning said.
"Since yuan'er came back, I can't see through him. Lao Zu, do you think he has really reached the saturation state of soul source?" Chen Tianxing thought about it and said.
"How is that possible? In terms of the current state of the soul source in the realm of cultivation, it is impossible to saturate the soul source. Don't you even know this? " Chen Hongning said with some dissatisfaction.
"It's true that there is not enough soul source for him to reach saturation in Xiuzhen world, but he was trapped in it when he was practicing in the underworld? Do you think it was at that time that he saturated the soul source Chen Tianxing said.
"If he has been in the underworld, it is possible, but don't forget. At that time, he was just a distracted period. Can the capacity of the soul pearl in the distracted period be the same as that in the later period of Mahayana?
Even if he reached saturation in the distraction period, but now he is in the late Mahayana period, that point of soul source has not even reached half of the capacity of the current soul bead. How can it be saturated? ""Also, unless he collected enough soul sources to use now, it's almost like absorbing them now!" Chen Tianxing said.
"This boy is crazy. His soul source can't be saturated. If he is in such a state, I really need to reconsider the succession of the head of the family! " Chen Hongning said with a frown.
"Lao Zu, but haven't we all discussed it? Besides, we have to get Cheng Yu's array. If we change the successor again, I'm afraid it's not suitable! " Chen Tianxing said.
If there is no Cheng Yu, it doesn't matter to him which son will succeed as the head of the family.
However, because of Cheng Yu's existence, he had to be more inclined to Chen Hongyuan, and it was also related to his future trip to Houshan.
If Chen Hongyuan doesn't get the position of master of the family, Cheng Yu can't give the Chen family any more array. In that case, the rise of the Chen family may not be so effective.
The rise of the Chen family is out of the question. Will Chen Hongning really instruct him? I'm afraid it's just an excuse to protect his face. At that time, he will stay in the back of the mountain, but he won't get the advice of his ancestors. Isn't that similar to imprisonment?
On the other hand, if the Chen family develops better and better under the leadership of Chen Hongyuan and with the help of Cheng Yu, Chen Hongning will certainly be very happy.
When he is happy, isn't it easy for him to give directions?
Therefore, he only hopes that Chen Hongyuan will inherit the position of the head of the family as soon as possible, which can be regarded as letting him settle the matter at ease as soon as possible.
Or who knows what will happen?
"Let's see first. If he loses the duel, it's impossible for me to let him inherit the Chen family." Chen Hongning said with a straight face.
