Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

Back then, Xu Yuan, you were already quite amazing during your entrance examination, but she never imagined that at the young age of thirteen, he could unleash such a brilliant strike.

This strike was enough to contend with a Soul Sage.

If it were a Soul Emperor, they would be either dead or seriously injured if they didn't dodge this strike!

Is this a mecha?

Cai Yue'er was moved, and for the first time, she had such a clear understanding of the limits of mechas.

Compared to a One-Word Battle Armor, it was more than just a little stronger.

If a Yellow-grade mecha was like this, what about a Purple-grade mecha?

Made with full spirit forging and the core array technology of a Two-Word Battle Armor, what level of enhancement would it be?

What about a Black-grade mecha?

If it were made with full soul forging and the core array technology of a Three-Word Battle Armor, what level could it reach?

And finally, if there was a Red-grade mecha made entirely of Heavenly Refined metal, based on the core array of a Four-Word Battle Armor, what would it be like?

Is this the limit of mechas?

Cai Yue'er took a deep breath, her pupils trembling violently, her mind surging.

It wasn't just her; the students in the audience felt even more shocked at this moment.

This was the first time they had seen such a powerful aspect of mechas.

So powerful that Li Qiankun, who had just made a bold statement to become a One-Word Battle Armor Master and was about to challenge again, directly closed his mouth and stopped speaking.

The key is that the requirements for mechas are low.

Xu Yuan is only a Soul Grandmaster, but he was already able to control this mecha, and it seemed that he was fully exerting its peak effect.

This is the mecha.

In the past, their understanding of mechas was not wrong; they knew that mechas could unleash terrifying destructive power in the hands of low-level Soul Masters, but they didn't expect it could be such a big leap.

A Soul Grandmaster controlling a Yellow-grade mecha to unleash the power of a Soul Sage.

It is estimated that a Soul Elder could also control it, but it is estimated that they would not be able to exert the power of this level.

But any assumptions are invalid, because this mecha was custom-made by Xu Yuan for himself, integrating his spear momentum, his spear intent, his martial soul, and even his soul rings and soul skills, thereby achieving this extreme burst.

Even if other Soul Masters controlled this mecha, it is estimated that they would not be able to exert its full effect.

It has to be said that the hearts of the resourceful outer court disciples began to waver slightly.

However, looking at Xu Yuan's cool mecha on the stage, they wisely suppressed this impulse and idea.

This is all money.

Making a Two-Word Battle Armor is stronger than making such a mecha.

The key is that with the time to accumulate these resources, soul power would have already been raised to the standard sufficient to wear a Battle Armor, so there is no need to care about the low requirements of the mecha.

The exchange competition ended, and the first and second grades won, causing a sensation throughout the outer court.

The question of whether it is necessary to minor in mecha also faced many students.

However, even with Xu Yuan's demonstration, mechas are still shunned by many Soul Masters.

Too expensive.

At the same time, it is not as powerful as a Battle Armor.

And the most important point is that most students who are already struggling to graduate normally do not have the extra energy to engage in mechas at this moment.

The mecha trend gradually dissipated, but it was visible to the naked eye that many students would participate in mecha control classes in their spare time, and the number of students in mecha control classes gradually increased.

Although they can't afford to play, they are still envious.

Xu Yuan did not make them transition to the path of developing into mecha masters, but he also planted a seed of true mecha charm in their hearts.

That strike, so far, no one in the entire outer court can take it.

"You've made quite a splash."

On Sea God Island, Yun Ming was also helpless.

The topic of which is better, mecha or Battle Armor, also made him ponder for a long time.

It has to be said that the ultimate mecha is indeed powerful, stronger than a Battle Armor.

However, the cost of a mecha...

"Teacher, in fact, mecha is just a general term. Just like Teacher Mu Ye's mecha, its greatest enhancement to him exists in the form of a long knife. Therefore, mecha is not a huge monster, but an external object that is integrated with oneself, and can be any external object of the same specification as a Battle Armor."

The concept of Battle Armor is integration, the true integration with the Soul Master, merging into a part of the Soul Master's martial soul.

Mecha is an external object, a tool.

But this does not mean that mecha is not closely related to Soul Masters.

On the contrary, it can be very close.

"Metals starting with Spirit Alloy can be integrated into the martial soul to achieve enhancement, and Spirit Forged and even Soul Forged metals will only have better effects."

"I don't advocate that everyone make an extreme mecha like mine, but I highly recommend that Soul Masters rearm themselves with mechas."

In addition to Battle Armor, they can also rearm themselves with mechas.

Even without introducing the concept of mecha, under the current general structure of Battle Armor, just add a weapon part.

The Battle Armor technology of this era has already been fully developed, and the components from One-Word Battle Armor to Four-Word Battle Armor are quite mature, all eleven parts: a skull, a chest armor, and a battle skirt, plus two pieces each for the legs and arms, for a total of eleven sets.

Starting with Two-Word Battle Armor, the chest armor can extend wings.

However, in the orthodox Battle Armor production, there is no weapon part.

Yun Ming nodded, expressing his approval.

"Since that's the case, you can try this path first."

Xu Yuan shook his head.

His path has already been set, and future weapons will be used as mechas.

The so-called suggestion is purely a suggestion, and it doesn't matter if no one adopts it, anyway, there is no loss.

"Your martial soul split will be in two months, right?"

"Yes, Uncle has given a clear message that he will be able to arrive on Douluo Continent in a month. When the time comes, he will bring me the Paper Soul Spirit. After I integrate the soul spirit and adapt for a month, I will start splitting the martial soul."

"Come to the Sea God Pavilion to split the martial soul, I will protect you."

Xu Yuan was a little hesitant.

Splitting a martial soul should, in theory, be safer in a place like the Sea God Pavilion, but the Golden Ancient Tree that the Sea God Pavilion represents might not be a good thing for Xu Yuan.

Seeing Xu Yuan's hesitation, Yun Ming asked, "What's wrong? Any concerns?"

"No, teacher, it's just different from my previous plan."

Xu Yuan only pondered for a moment before he already had an answer.

Anyway, he hasn't had any substantial conflict with a certain Plane Master, so the other party shouldn't tamper with his martial soul split.

At worst, with Yun Ming present, Xu Yuan wasn't worried about anything.

Time passed.

A month later.

"Uncle, who is this?"

Xu Yuan didn't just see one uncle; beside his uncle was an extremely stunning woman.

"Your aunt." Xu Shengqun didn't hide anything as he explained to Xu Yuan about the heroic and beautiful woman beside him, then introduced Xu Yuan to the woman, "This is Xu Yuan, my eldest nephew."

"Hello, Aunt."

Chapter 156 Paper Soul Spirit

Xu Yuan was also observing this aunt.

She wore a white robe, carrying a hint of scholarly air, giving people a sense of culture, but without any weak temperament; instead, she was heroic and spirited.

Looking at Xu Yuan, Paper Saint Douluo Ye Yuan revealed a gentle smile.

"Xiao Yuan, I've heard Brother Qun mention you many times; you are your uncle's pride." Her eyes also held a hint of exploration and curiosity.

She wondered what kind of achievements could make Xu Shengqun praise Xu Yuan so highly.

Xu Yuan smiled modestly.

"Aunt is too kind; I can have what I have today entirely thanks to the legacy of my elders."

There was humility in his words, but it was also genuine. Whether it was Mu Ye's unconditional support of his Main Body Secret Method or the various ingredients to enhance his Qi and blood, or the top-tier soul spirits that Xu Shengqun had gathered for him, or the Qi and blood martial soul he created from the almost-completed research project inherited from his father, Xu Zhi, all of it was standing on the shoulders of giants.

"Whether it's the investment of the predecessors or anything else, being able to digest and transform them into your own is your talent," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

"Xiao Yuan, this is your paper soul spirit. Are you ready for the martial soul split?"

"Martial soul split?"

Ye Yuan was taken aback.

Clearly, Xu Shengqun hadn't mentioned this cultivation project of Xu Yuan's to her in private.

"Xiao Yuan's martial soul is a bit special, with two forms. He has separated them in a special way, preparing to develop them as two martial souls."

"Man-made twin martial souls?" Ye Yuan revealed a look of surprise, not expecting such an operation.

"Xiao Yuan originally had twin martial souls. After the Heavenly Origin Brush and Heavenly Origin Spear are split, he will have three martial souls." Xu Shengqun's soul power had long shielded the surroundings, so he wasn't afraid of the sound spreading.

Pride was in his eyes.

My eldest nephew!

An unprecedented three martial souls!

Even Huo Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, was said to have three martial souls, but his three martial souls, strictly speaking, didn't count as three martial souls. According to what Xu Shengqun knew from the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's secrets, Huo Yuhao's third martial soul was his teacher, a powerful figure who helped him develop the Soul Spirit Contract method, and had no soul rings attached.

And Xu Yuan's three martial souls will all have soul rings attached in the future, cultivating all the way down!

"But, won't splitting the martial soul cause damage to the martial soul's origin? If so, and the quality of both martial souls declines, wouldn't it be counterproductive?" Doubt was revealed in Ye Yuan's eyes.

Xu Shengqun looked at Xu Yuan.

Eldest nephew, explain it.

In fact, even now, Xu Shengqun wasn't particularly clear about Xu Yuan's preparations, and didn't know how Xu Yuan would prevent this.

"Splitting the martial soul does damage the origin, but it is also a purification of the two forms. One martial soul with two forms will eventually share talents. Splitting them apart makes each more pure and also more convenient for growth. For example, my Heavenly Origin Brush martial soul—the metal penholder always feels strange when using it."

Xu Yuan stated that when he first developed the Heavenly Origin Brush, he always developed it towards the form of a spear. The fighting style of extending the pen bristles and stabbing down like spears was also influenced by the Heavenly Origin Spear form.

"The origin is split, but it is also the easiest time to modify it. I have prepared many natural treasures to make up for the origins of my two major martial souls. When the time comes, not only will their respective origins not be damaged, but they will also be improved. Plus, with the martial souls being more pure, they will only become stronger."

However, it will take some time to digest these.

After all, the value of natural treasures lies in being suitable, not in quantity. Many soul masters, apart from nutritional ingredients, rarely consume other natural treasures with special effects, precisely because they need time to digest them.

Ye Yuan nodded as if she understood.

In fact, it was very thorough, but she was confused about how to specifically operate these things.

However, she didn't continue to ask.

"The paper soul spirit is inside. It consumed a lot of spiritual power, barely raising it to a thousand years. You can upgrade the rest yourself." When Xu Shengqun spoke of spiritual power, a hint of heartache flashed across his face.

The Spirit Transfer Pagoda's spiritual power is also limited. As a Spirit Transfer Envoy, using a large amount of spiritual power to create this paper soul spirit was a considerable expense, emptying out a small half of his savings.

Without family wealth, he was still a Super Douluo, and after being a Spirit Transfer Envoy for more than ten years, he had accumulated quite a bit.

The spiritual power used to raise the paper soul spirit to a thousand years was even just the result of incorporating the remaining scraps of spiritual power.

The fully artificial soul spirit technology is not yet perfect, so customizing soul spirits can only be done this way.

Xu Yuan took the soul spirit ball, looking at the transparent scroll inside, surrounded by brilliant light, and felt a little excited.

Space attribute, paper soul spirit.

"Uncle, I'll take you into the academy."
