Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

If I needed to draw out soul beasts to summon soul beasts to fight, wouldn't that be like eagerly offering myself up?

"Uncle, the path of the Divine Brush Douluo isn't suitable for me. As for the vine-type soul spirit Tianyuan Brush martial soul, instead of going down the control route, I'd actually prefer to develop along the strong assault path."

"Hmm?" Xu Shengqun frowned, looking at Xu Yuan, waiting for his explanation.

Chapter 6: Determining the First Soul Spirit

Xu Shengqun had some understanding of his nephew.

Since he said it, there should be a reason.

He also wanted to hear why Xu Yuan felt that the ability of manifestation wasn't suitable for him, and why he didn't want to absorb a vine-type soul spirit.

"My martial soul, Tianyuan Brush, has indeed mutated some special abilities. I've been exploring them these past few days. Among them, in the Tianyuan Brush form, my soul power can fuse with the primordial Qi of the outside world through the Tianyuan Brush, condensing into ink to attack. I think even if I were to develop my martial soul, this should be the main direction. The system of manifesting soul beasts to fight isn't suitable for me."

Xu Shengqun was stunned.

His attention was focused on one word from Xu Yuan.

"Tianyuan Brush form?" He stepped forward, grabbed Xu Yuan's shoulder, and shook him, saying, "Your Tianyuan Brush can switch forms?"

Xu Yuan nodded, releasing his martial soul Tianyuan Brush, and simultaneously transforming it into a brush-gun form.

Seeing the Tianyuan Brush in Xu Yuan's hand quickly transform into a brush-gun, Xu Shengqun was instantly excited.

Gun!

He was familiar with that.

Carefully observing this Tianyuan brush-gun, Xu Shengqun quickly discovered that special aura.

"Your gun form comes with gun intent?"

Xu Yuan nodded, explaining, "That's right, I've roughly sensed this gun intent these past few days. Unwavering, unstoppable, using the grand avenue to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to suppress everything!"

Xu Shengqun nodded repeatedly.

"So this is the strength of a mutated martial soul."

Even if the result of the mutation was only innate soul power level seven, the foundation of the mutation undoubtedly reached the basis of a top-tier martial soul. If the soul spirit was chosen well, and some natural treasures were absorbed, raising this Tianyuan brush-gun to a top-tier martial soul was entirely possible.

Not only did the brain martial soul have room for improvement, but even this Tianyuan Brush had a foreseeable future of improvement.

"Your Tianyuan Brush should be a fusion of your parents' two martial souls, a mutation in the form of fusion. This is extremely rare on the entire continent. You can think of your martial soul as being in the state of a martial soul fusion skill from birth," Xu Shengqun exclaimed.

Xu Yuan's father, Xu Zhi, was a researcher, with outstanding research abilities. Besides providing Xu Shengqun with cultivation advice and analysis of soul spirit choices, Xu Zhi usually influenced Xu Shengqun in various aspects during their exchanges, such as in research.

Xu Shengqun wasn't a researcher, but he had a considerable level of understanding of martial souls and analysis of some basic theories.

"If that's really the case, your martial soul is extraordinary," Xu Shengqun thought for a moment, then made this assessment. "Of course, whether it's as I guessed depends on the future changes in your martial soul."

Xu Yuan didn't care about these.

He himself had actually analyzed his own martial soul.

It was just that it was difficult to truly draw a conclusion now, without fully exploring it.

Everything still depended on the subsequent abilities of the martial soul.

At this moment, Xu Shengqun was actually most excited about Xu Yuan's Tianyuan brush-gun form.

This meant that Xu Yuan could inherit his gun techniques.

Unwavering, unstoppable gun intent, it did have a certain degree of compatibility with his Heavenly Saint Void-Piercing Spear intent.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

"Xiaoyuan, I seem to have suddenly thought of a soul spirit that should be very suitable for you."

As he spoke, Xu Shengqun also revealed a smile and couldn't help but sigh.

"Providence, all of this can only be said to be providence."

Xu Yuan was somewhat puzzled, looking at his uncle in confusion.

Xu Shengqun came back to his senses after sighing for a while, looked at Xu Yuan, and said with a smile, "Xiaoyuan, I can determine your first soul spirit for you. It must be the most suitable soul spirit for you."

"Uncle, what soul spirit is it?" Xu Yuan asked, pressing him.

He didn't want his uncle to be mysterious about this.

There was no way around it. In the process of his consideration, there were some factors that he really couldn't explain to Xu Shengqun, and there might be deviations.

Xu Shengqun couldn't do anything about Xu Yuan and told him the information about that soul spirit.

"Do you know why your father can become the deputy director?"

Xu Yuan shook his head.

"Because of your father's research topic. He's researching soul spirit cultivation methods."

Soul spirit cultivation methods?

Hearing this name, Xu Yuan's first reaction was that the core of this project was to allow soul spirits to cultivate.

But soon, Xu Shengqun's explanation corrected this idea for him.

"Don't understand it literally. The soul spirit cultivation method your father researches isn't a method for soul spirits to cultivate, or rather, that's not the goal," Xu Shengqun said with a smile, thinking that he had also had misunderstandings in the beginning.

"The essence of soul spirit cultivation methods is to use soul spirits to make up for martial souls and assist soul masters in cultivation."

Borrowing the false to cultivate the true?

After listening to his uncle's explanation, Xu Yuan's first reaction was this.

If the martial soul was too poor to cultivate, then use the soul spirit to cultivate.

"Unfortunately, this project ultimately couldn't be completed, but back then, your father was --, uh, eloquent, and coupled with the prospects of this project once it succeeded, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda agreed to his project."

"After much research, they ultimately falsified it."

Xu Yuan looked at Xu Shengqun, dumbfounded.

He had just listened to Xu Shengqun's introduction to this method and had already begun to imagine the benefits after this project was close to completion or had prospects for success, but he didn't expect Xu Shengqun to directly falsify it.

This...

"There's no way around it. The core of this project is actually to allow ordinary people who haven't reached level ten, or even have soul power, to contract soul spirits in advance. Your father had ideas back then, and they were very reasonable, which won the approval of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's higher-ups."

"But the more they researched, the more they demonstrated from various aspects that this couldn't be achieved. Fortunately, by coincidence, his research greatly helped the improvement of the age limit of soul spirits, that is, the technological breakthrough of the Spirit Ascension Platform."

"Besides this, they also have an achievement, which is also the latest branch of soul spirits."

Xu Yuan was very expectant at this moment.

This should be the first soul spirit that his uncle said was suitable for him.

“This branch can be called the Metal Soul Spirit. It is a type of artificial Soul Spirit. It is not created by replicating any Soul Beast genes, but is completely transformed from metal using Soul Guidance technology.”

Xu Yuan felt a little familiar after hearing about the Metal Soul Spirit.

He suddenly realized after careful recollection.

Isn't this Xie Xie's first Soul Spirit in the original work?

“The technology of Metal Soul Spirits is not perfect. Even the Spirit Transfer Pagoda doesn't invest much in this area. They have only created a dozen Metal Soul Spirits, and most of them are only ten-year Soul Spirits.”

“What I'm talking about is not these Soul Spirits, but the Soul Spirit that your father personally participated in the research process. That is a hundred-year Soul Spirit. What's different is that it is not just a Metal Soul Spirit, but also a Soul Spirit formed from metal shaped like a spear.”

“It's not just that its appearance resembles a spear, but the power it contains, and even the origin of the Soul Spirit, are guided by the intent of the spear as the core.”

Chapter 7 The Ultimate Path

A Soul Spirit completely built with a spear as a template.

Xu Yuan could also guess the purpose for which this Soul Spirit was created.

Unfortunately, it failed.

Fortunately, many technologies were useful. Xu Zhi also relied on these studies to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform's research project, stabilizing his position as deputy director.

“It seems that you are also very satisfied with this Soul Spirit.” Xu Shengqun said with a smile, looking at the light shining in Xu Yuan's eyes.

Xu Yuan nodded.

He was not just satisfied, he was extremely satisfied.

It could even be said that the existence of this Soul Spirit directly gave him a big reminder.

If animal Soul Spirits and plant Soul Spirits are not easy to choose, then you can choose pure artificial Soul Spirits!

The technology of artificial Soul Spirits is certainly not mature, and the intensity of the Soul Skills provided by Soul Spirits is slightly lacking, but to be honest, in this era, Soul Spirits are actually more about compatibility.

If it fits the Martial Soul, even if the quality of the Soul Spirit itself is not high, it can bring great amplification to the Soul Master.

The existence of the Spirit Ascension Platform also allows Soul Spirits to continue to grow for less than ten thousand years, which also gives artificial Soul Spirits many opportunities.

The so-called not strong enough just means that the created ten-year and hundred-year artificial Soul Spirits are not strong.

Because it is artificial, it is achieved under induction. If it is not a particularly rare individual case, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda will not invest too many resources in it, and will only maintain its lifespan sufficient to become the first Soul Spirit, which is less than four hundred years.

Artificial Soul Spirits, the artificial part is very weak, but if it is compatible with the Soul Master, as the Soul Master continues to advance in the Spirit Ascension Platform, absorbs the Martial Soul's foundation, and absorbs the Soul Master's cultivation insights, the promotion it brings is a non-linear improvement.

It can even be seen that the improvement of this type of Soul Spirit is essentially excavating the Soul Master's own Martial Soul ability.

However, only a few Soul Masters can do this. After all, the qualification to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform is very precious, and those who can enter it like eating and drinking are not ordinary people.

And Xu Yuan obviously has this qualification.

With the support of an Spirit Transfer Envoy uncle, not to mention the primary Spirit Ascension Platform, even the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, he doesn't need to spend money to buy.

“This Soul Spirit is still at headquarters. I will transfer it for you. It will probably take some time, and you are only at level eight now, so there is no rush.” Xu Shengqun said.

Speaking of this, his eyes turned cold, apparently thinking of some unpleasant memories.

Because of Xu Zhi's relationship, he and Qian Gu Dongfeng had also had many conflicts.

“Depart tomorrow morning. Go back and rest first.”

After Xu Yuan left, Xu Shengqun stood alone in the hall, looking at the sky outside.

“Alas, must I compromise?”

Xu Shengqun knew that this transfer of the spear Soul Spirit would inevitably be hindered by Qian Gu Dongfeng, but that guy would definitely let go, but the condition must be that his side would no longer hinder any work in the Douluo Continent by the personnel sent by the headquarters.

Coincidentally, half a year ago, at the same time as the personnel sent by the headquarters arrived, Xu Shengqun's men caught an Evil Soul Master, and then he also increased the scrutiny of the headquarters personnel.

The Spirit Transfer Envoy can be said to be second only to the Pagoda Master and the two Deputy Pagoda Masters. Unless one of the three of them personally arrives, even if it is a special envoy from the headquarters, as long as they want to pass through the Tianhai Alliance to the Douluo Continent, they will be subject to Xu Shengqun's control.

Therefore, because of Xu Shengqun's sake, a certain special plan of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda for the Douluo Continent has not been truly launched.

“Qian Gu Dongfeng, what exactly do you want to do?” Xu Shengqun had always been using the reason of catching the Evil Soul Master to make things difficult for the special envoys from the headquarters. In fact, he also really believed that there was a connection between the two.

Unfortunately, he had not obtained any useful information in the past six months.

Fortunately, this time, he would let go as a condition and no longer hinder it, so it would be convenient to take the opportunity to investigate.

Xu Shengqun narrowed his eyes, thinking about the possible situation.

Xu Yuan returned to his room, and while meditating, he also summarized the information he had obtained today.

“The biggest gain is in the choice of Soul Spirit.”

If he didn't want to be limited by the power of blood, then it seemed that the ultimate weapon Martial Soul was the most suitable path for him, and this path of the ultimate weapon Martial Soul, because of the existence of metal Soul Spirit technology, had the possibility of completely abandoning the choice of plant and animal Soul Spirits.

Take the path of the real ultimate weapon Martial Soul.

Spear Soul Spirit, metal Soul Spirit, perhaps natural element Soul Spirits can also be added.

Of course, these are not so simple to achieve.

“First cultivate Soul Power.”

With the problem of the first Soul Spirit solved, Xu Yuan didn't need to worry about at least the first two Soul Rings, and Soul Power cultivation became the most urgent thing again.

The next day.

Xu Yuan followed Xu Shengqun to Tiandou City by Soul Guidance train.

To his relief, he didn't have Tang Wulin's constitution of encountering an Evil Soul Master attack every time he took a train, so he could take the Soul Guidance train.

Tiandou City.
