Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

However, at the same time, how to deal with cheaters is a big problem.

Xu Yuan hasn't even met Tang Wulin yet, and it's not necessarily a life-or-death relationship, but he can't help but think about it. As long as he has the ambition to stand at the pinnacle of the continent, he will inevitably have to overcome this hurdle.

"The road, this is a big problem. Let's put aside Tang Wulin's issue for now. First, I still need to figure out the characteristics of my Martial Soul."

With innate soul power reaching level seven, the Tianyuan Brush Martial Soul must have undergone some mutations.

And he had a slight gain in last night's meditation.

Xu Yuan came to the backyard, ready to verify what he thought.

He released his Martial Soul, and the Tianyuan Brush fell into his hand. Holding the pen, he injected soul power into it.

On the Tianyuan Brush, the black stripes flickered, gradually becoming longer and larger, and even the originally soft tip instantly hardened.

"If I guessed correctly, this should be a mutation caused by the influence of my father's Martial Soul." Xu Yuan looked at the Tianyuan Brush transformed into a spear, deep in thought.

Rather than saying that his Martial Soul was inherited from his mother, it was better to say that he inherited it from both parents, but with his mother's Tianyuan Brush as the carrier, and on this basis, it also integrated the form of his father's spear Martial Soul.

"It's not over yet, my Martial Soul is not that simple." Xu Yuan held the Tianyuan Brush spear and danced.

His father's Martial Soul was just an ordinary spear. The Xu family has always been like this. Occasionally, one or two children with innate soul power may appear, but their aptitude is also very low, and Xu Shengqun is an exception. His Martial Soul has mutated and become the Heavenly Saint Void Piercing Spear.

The Xu family has always had a foundation in spear techniques, and on this basis, Xu Shengqun developed and improved it, developing his own Heavenly Saint Spear Technique.

Xu Yuan hadn't been idle for the past year either. He had been exposed to the basics of spear techniques, and at this moment, his dance was quite imposing. The difference was that at this moment, his dance with the Tianyuan Brush spear had a unique charm compared to when he had not awakened his Martial Soul.

"My Martial Soul has its own momentum, a kind of spear momentum, not reaching the level of a domain, but it is already good enough."

Practicing the spear technique over and over again, searching for techniques suitable for mobilizing this momentum, Xu Yuan was satisfied before putting away the spear.

"The brush-spear form has its own momentum, and the pure Tianyuan Brush is also in harmony with the vitality of the world."

The brush-spear in his hand returned to its original form. He held the Tianyuan Brush and waved it sharply. Soul power condensed along the tip of the pen, fused with the vitality of the world, and turned into ink, which was waved out along the tip of the pen. This drop of ink formed a small crescent-shaped streak along the force of the wave.

The ink hit the boulder without leaving a trace.

"This ability needs to be developed before there is hope of having lethality." Xu Yuan did not ignore this characteristic of the Martial Soul because the previous attack did not seem to have any lethality. "Being able to mobilize the vitality of the world and fuse it with soul power, this Martial Soul characteristic is not simple."

Xu Shengqun was not at home these days, so Xu Yuan practiced on his own.

He was memorizing and exploring the soul power operation route in the meditation method, and he quickly got started.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

"Uncle is back?"

"Yes, young master. The master heard that you have been practicing hard these days and is very happy."

Xu Yuan nodded, tidied up, and went to the hall.

"Uncle."

"Xiao Yuan, I heard from Lao Wu that you have been cultivating soul power these days?"

"Indeed."

"Oh? Then have you gained anything?" Xu Shengqun asked curiously.

He actually knew in his heart that there should be no problem with entering the meditation. According to normal circumstances, he should now be stuck in exploring the steps of those meridians in the meditation method.

"The meditation method has been basically mastered."

"Hmm~ Hmm?" After nodding twice, Xu Shengqun noticed Xu Yuan's wording.

It was not that the meditation was basically mastered, but that the meditation *method* was basically mastered!

"You have also mastered the operation of soul power?"

Xu Yuan nodded, and at the same time sighed: "I have to say that the effect of a systematic soul power operation is very obvious. When I completed this cycle, my soul power directly broke through the bottleneck."

Xu Shengqun was numb.

He stepped forward to check Xu Yuan's physical condition, felt the general direction of the soul power in Xu Yuan's body, and checked the key nodes of the soul power operation in the meditation method he taught one by one before he breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time as he breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Shengqun was also very shocked.

"Could it be that this is the advantage of strong mental power in cultivation?"

Xu Shengqun was also a Spirit Transmission Envoy, and he had seen no small number of geniuses, but he had never seen anyone who could master the entire advanced meditation method in three days. Of course, he had never seen anyone with as high as 81 points of mental power just after awakening his Martial Soul like Xu Yuan.

"Well, not bad." Affirming Xu Yuan's cultivation results, Xu Shengqun continued: "I have contacted the Body Sect for you. Prepare yourself, and come with me to Heaven Dou City again tomorrow."

"Okay!" Xu Yuan said in surprise.

"Is there anything you don't understand in cultivation?"

Although Xu Yuan had mastered the meditation method, there were always things he didn't understand in cultivation.

Xu Yuan asked about some of the tangled points in his cultivation. Of course, he asked more about some of the doubts he had when practicing the spear technique. In these five days, he was not only cultivating the meditation method, but also practicing the spear technique, and at the same time developing the characteristics of his Tianyuan Brush, and all the accumulated problems were asked at this moment.

In just five days, there were so many doubts.

And they were not the kind of thoughtless questions.

From this point, Xu Shengqun was very satisfied, knowing that his nephew was really practicing seriously, and at the same time he roughly felt Xu Yuan's talent in cultivation.

Perhaps his physical talent was only innate level seven soul power, but his talent in understanding and perseverance was top-notch.

"Uncle, I have a doubt when researching the information." After Xu Yuan finished asking about the problems in cultivation, he hesitated for a moment and continued to speak.

"Oh? What doubts?"

"I saw in the information that the True Dragon Martial Soul itself is a top-level Martial Soul, and it naturally has pressure when encountering dragon-type soul beasts. Even non-dragon-type Martial Souls, beast Martial Souls will be suppressed, even if it is an artifact Martial Soul, it will also be subject to Dragon Might. How should I deal with this kind of enemy when I encounter them?"

Xu Shengqun was surprised that Xu Yuan could ask such a question.

After seeing the description of the True Dragon Martial Soul, he put it in the position of the enemy.

Although extreme, such thinking is very reasonable and is necessary for every soul master.

Understanding a Martial Soul and then imagining it as an enemy, thinking about how to deal with it, is a kind of tempering in combat awareness.

"There are not many Martial Souls with True Dragon bloodlines. The entire continent is very rare, but there are always some. If you really join Shrek Academy in the future, the probability of encountering them will not be small, after all, it gathers the top geniuses of the entire continent."

Xu Shengqun thought for a while and began to answer Xu Yuan's doubts.

Prevent some people from taking the rhythm here in advance.

Don't say that the protagonist's heart is higher than the sky, why is he thinking of comparing with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline before he has cultivated? Anyone who is a time-traveler should have some arrogance, even if they are resigned to fate and rotten, they should seriously consider and choose after being completely desperate, right? Now the protagonist is just not desperate, and he also has this hope, why not work hard to fight for this first place?

As for unnecessary considerations, that's definitely not right. Tang Wulin seems to have a low starting point, relying on himself step by step. But even without luck, even if everything develops in the worst possible direction, he still has Tang San's backup and Tang Hao, the Lord of the Plane, watching over him. The first nine seals, even all except the last three, will definitely not have any accidents.

As for whether Tang Hao is currently conscious, we certainly can't gamble on that, right?

Chapter 5: Xu Yuan's True Advantage

"Xiaoyuan, you must remember that the most important thing in soul master cultivation is to strengthen yourself, not to target opponents. Of course, while strengthening yourself, finding ways to deal with enemies is naturally even better."

What Xu Shengqun said was his own personal experience.

Only when you are strong can you talk about other things.

"The so-called intimidation of the True Dragon Martial Soul, for soul masters with beast martial souls, will almost always form an instinctive suppression, as long as it is not also a True Dragon Martial Soul. This is a suppression of status, which is difficult for soul masters to change after birth, unless there is an opportunity for martial soul mutation, surpassing the opponent in bloodline quality."

"Xiaoyuan, you are different from me. We have weapon martial souls, and similarly, our weapon martial souls have no connection with beast martial souls at all. This also basically means that our pure weapon martial souls will not be subject to status suppression."

"And without status suppression, then all you need to do is strengthen yourself."

"Even so-called dragon might is just the inherent strength of dragon martial souls. It can be seen as a passive mental attribute weakening skill that dragon martial souls naturally possess."

"As long as the soul master's own will is strong enough, this can be offset. The rest still depends on the soul master's own strength."

Xu Shengqun's words made Xu Yuan suddenly understand.

He only thought that the Golden Dragon King's status was too high, ridiculously high, and the suppression of any dragon or beast martial soul was too strong. Even without direct status suppression, there was still terrifying dragon might. But he forgot that no matter what, the strength brought by the Golden Dragon King's bloodline only meant he needed to deal with dragon might.

And dragon might, as Xu Shengqun said, is purely a passive group weakening mental skill.

At this time, strengthening one's own mental power and tempering one's will is the best way to deal with dragon might.

Moreover, this is not only about dealing with dragon might, but also the cultivation that a soul master should experience.

Although Xu Shengqun didn't know how terrifying the Golden Dragon King's status was, he was just guiding Xu Yuan with the way to deal with True Dragon Martial Souls, but he also gave Xu Yuan ideas.

"As long as I am not weaker than the Golden Dragon King's bloodline in any status, then all I need to deal with is the influence of dragon might on my will."

As for willpower, Xu Yuan didn't dare to guarantee it, but he had confidence in his mental power.

In terms of mental power, Xu Yuan even dared to compare with Gu Yue, the Silver Dragon King who was rebuilding her cultivation with a mental realm of the God King realm.

The adult soul from his previous life was transformed into the mental power of this fantasy plane, which was certainly weak, but it also increased Xu Yuan's initial mental power value. In fact, his mental power growth was also increasing according to this initial value.

A normal human's mental power might only be a negligible amount at birth, but Xu Yuan might directly have ten points. And later, without considering any other factors, simply under physical development, a normal human might reach two or three points of mental power at the age of six, while Xu Yuan could reach twenty or thirty points!

But the actual situation was that Xu Yuan's martial soul was the brain. Even before awakening, it had a passive blessing under natural growth, which doubled the natural growth of his mental power again.

The stimulation at the moment of martial soul awakening allowed him to have as much as eighty-one points of mental power when he had just awakened his martial soul.

This was only the situation before and at the time of martial soul awakening.

After martial soul awakening, the brain martial soul's blessing on his naturally growing mental power would only become more and more obvious. And if he absorbed a soul spirit with mental attributes, his mental power improvement would naturally become more and more perverted.

"Mental power is my true advantage, and this also happens to be in line with the method my uncle said to deal with dragon-type martial soul soul masters."

Xu Yuan suddenly felt relieved.

He wasn't afraid of not being able to cope, he was just afraid of not even seeing the possibility of coping.

Even if this way of coping required Xu Yuan to be monstrous to the extreme in terms of mental power performance at his age, it was still a glimmer of hope after all.

"Uncle also missed one point, and that is the soul spirit..." Xu Yuan lowered his head and continued to think about what he had missed.

The Golden Dragon King's status was very outrageous, and it might even affect the soul master through the soul spirit.

So it's best not to choose dragon or beast soul spirits.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan had a headache.

He would rather not have thought of this.

Because he had thought of it, he would have concerns in his heart. He really found it hard to imagine what goals he could have without absorbing beast soul spirits.

Plant type?

"It's okay in the early stage, but it will be difficult after Tang Wulin awakens the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, awakens the Sea God bloodline, and even obtains the identity of the Child of Nature."

Xu Yuan also knew that he was being a bit too cautious.

However, these were all very necessary to think about.

"Should I just go all out and kill Tang Wulin?"

But in just a moment, Xu Yuan gave up on this plan.

The God King Tang San's minimum of three chances to take action, plus Tang Hao's position as the Lord of the Plane, meant that this plan was destined to fail.

"Alas, besides beast and plant soul spirits, what other soul spirits are there..." Even Xu Yuan was starting to have a headache at this moment.

Xu Yuan lowered his head and pondered, his face changing, which Xu Shengqun saw in his eyes.

He didn't know what was wrong with his nephew, what difficulties he had encountered, but in his understanding, his nephew had his own set of ideas, and his thinking was catching up to that of an adult. Therefore, even if Xu Yuan seemed to be encountering a big problem now, as long as Xu Yuan didn't ask him for help, he wouldn't interfere.

"Uncle, do you have any plans for my soul spirit?" After struggling for a long time, Xu Yuan still planned to seek some help from Xu Shengqun.

"Soul spirit?" Xu Shengqun was stunned.

It was only then that he remembered that Xu Yuan had just said that he had broken through to level eight when he completed the circulation of his soul power, which meant that he was actually very close to level ten.

With the talent that Xu Yuan had shown, he would definitely reach level ten within a year, or even have a chance to break through in half a year.

In this way, the soul spirit had to be prepared in advance.

Compared to ten thousand years ago, today's soul masters, under certain conditions, preparing each soul spirit a few years in advance was not an exaggeration at all.

"Your martial soul is the Heavenly Yuan Brush, and there are still many suitable soul spirits. Vine soul spirits are the most compatible. In addition, beast soul spirits may have the opportunity to integrate into your Heavenly Yuan Brush as a means of combat."

Douluo Continent had strong people who used brushes as their martial souls, titled the Divine Brush, and they were even Limit Douluos, and even influential figures throughout the continent, one of the three giants of the military, the commander of the Central Army!

Divine Brush Douluo Yu Guanzhi, he used his martial soul to draw soul beast patterns, thereby turning the virtual into reality, and using this method to fight.

Xu Shengqun wasn't sure whether the Heavenly Yuan Brush had this hope, but he still considered this possible development direction for Xu Yuan.

Who would have thought that Xu Yuan would directly shake his head, rejecting this plan.

Absolutely can't go that way!
