White Ring of Douluo

"Hi everyone, I'm your branch dean - Le Bai."

Le Bai stood on the podium: "Your class today is supposed to be actual combat, but your actual combat teacher has to absorb the soul ring today, so he can't come, so I will give you a theoretical class."

The expressions of the students in the audience suddenly became unpleasant.

"Don't show such an expression. You know, theory can guide practice. Although it can't directly improve your strength, it will definitely help you improve your strength. I can guarantee this."

Hearing Le Bai's assurance, the students concentrated a little bit.

"Today we're going to talk about the most fundamental thing for a soul master—martial soul."

Le Bai wrote the word Wuhun on the blackboard.

"I believe you all know that each of us, whether we are soul masters or not, can have a martial soul. This is something we are born with."

"However, I have a question about this - what exactly is a martial soul? Why does everyone have a martial soul?"

The expressions of the students began to relax again.

"Of course, simply understanding what a martial spirit is and the source of a martial spirit will not improve your strength. But—"

Le Bai procrastinated on purpose, so that the students couldn't help but focus on it: "Knowing the source of your own martial soul will allow you to more accurately choose the soul ring that suits you, and promote the evolution of your own martial soul. This will improve your strength and your future. Going further will help."

The students didn't have much doubt, and their spirits suddenly became concentrated.

"It is impossible for us to know who was the first person to awaken the martial spirit. However, according to the information on the awakening of the martial spirit recorded by the Wuhun Temple, we will find an interesting thing if we analyze it in units of a hundred years—— "

Le Bai drew a line on the blackboard: "The closer we get to the present, the more people awaken weapon souls, and the fewer people awaken beast souls. Conversely, if we continue to move forward, we will find that the past The martial souls awakened by most people are mostly beast martial souls."

"Dean!"

A student raised his hand: "Are you trying to say that all weapon spirits are mutated from beast spirits?"

"It's close, but not right."

Le Bai said: "According to the classification of beast spirit and weapon spirit,

The plant spirit should be classified as the weapon spirit, because even if the plant spirit is destroyed, it will not have obvious effects on our body like the beast spirit. "

"But plants are alive, and they cannot be counted as the 'tools' we use, so it is not rigorous enough to say that plant-type martial spirits are tool martial spirits."

"Moreover, strictly speaking, even if it is a weapon spirit, if it is destroyed by a powerful attack, although we will not have wounds on our body, our spirit or soul will still bear a considerable degree of impact."

"This shows that although the connection between Qi Wuhun and us is not as close as that of Beast Wuhun, it is definitely not completely unrelated."

"But I think this is nonsense, after all, it is our own martial soul, how could it be unrelated."

Le Bai shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, making the students can't help but smile, and relax a little nervously.

"Since no matter what type of martial soul is related to our own connection, then the appearance of various 'tools' in the martial soul must also be due to our own influence."

When Le Bai said this, he paused: "A question, do you know a bug like 'mantis'?"

Some people answered yes, some said they didn't know.

Le Bai simply sketched a few strokes on the blackboard to draw the general shape of the praying mantis, except for the pair of sickle-like forelimbs that were drawn particularly carefully: "I believe everyone has noticed that the forelimbs of insects like mantises are very like 'sickles'. If , When someone awakened the martial soul, only such a pair of forelimbs appeared, everyone thinks, should it be called the praying mantis martial soul, or the sickle martial soul?"

Give students two minutes to think.

"Dean!"

It was the previous student again: "You mean, the weapon spirit is actually a part of the beast spirit?"

"It can't be wrong to say that, but it's not accurate enough. After all, there is still a big difference between the forelimbs of a sickle and a praying mantis."

Le Bai wrote two words on the blackboard: "The key lies in the 'elements'."

"Still take praying mantises as an example. Usually when we first see mantises, our eyes will be attracted by their powerful and dangerous forelimbs. In fact, in addition to the forelimbs, the mouthparts of mantises...I mean the mouth, and wings, are also With eyes and all that, all very powerful."

"But even if we know this, we will still be attracted by the pair of sickle-like forelimbs for the first time. At this time, we can think that the forelimbs are the most prominent one among all the elements that make up the praying mantis."

"At the same time, these elements themselves also contain other elements - for example, in addition to the sharp edge of the forelimb, there are also sharp thorns. When these elements are presented in the form of Wuhun, they become the 'artifacts' we are familiar with now Wuhun."

"But the dean,"

It was still the same student: "Isn't there a food-type martial soul in the weapon martial soul? Those martial souls, the elements presented, have nothing to do with the beast martial soul."

"That's right! It's very good of you to notice!"

Le Bai rubbed out a piece of bread: "Actually, my own Wuhun is food-type. So I have been thinking about this for a long time, why there is a food-type Wuhun."

"Soon, I found some clues in the past records-food-type martial spirits, which only began to appear in the last few hundred years. Moreover, the earliest food-type martial spirits were basically vegetables, which can also be regarded as plants It is the type of martial spirit."

"Immediately after the vegetable martial soul, there are various food-type martial souls that can be obtained through vegetable processing, such as my bread, which is made from wheat flour."

"As people's lives get better and better, all kinds of meat products begin to increase, and only then do all kinds of meat food-type spirits begin to appear."

"From this, we can boldly speculate that the food-type martial soul is a mutated martial soul that only appears when the elements shown are affected by our gradually changing 'cognition'."

The students all showed expressions of sudden realization.

"Let's summarize it below."

Le Bai said: "The so-called martial spirit is the result of a strong expression of a certain 'element' that we possess or inherit. At the same time, this result will be affected by our own cognition. No matter who is alive, as long as he is alive, he must have elements , so everyone will have a martial spirit."

"At this time, some people may think of a special situation - twin martial souls."

"We can try to analyze according to the existing thinking. Because there are two martial souls, a person with twin martial souls must have two or more elements of strong expression."

"Secondly, if there is an obvious gap between one of the elements and the other, it will not appear strong enough in comparison, so in terms of performance, the two elements need to be similar."

"Finally, there is the issue of mutual interference between the two elements. If there are many similarities between the two elements, normally, we will not regard them as two different elements. Therefore, two almost completely There are no similar elements.”

"Dean!"

It was still the same student: "Although what you said is very reasonable, do you have evidence to prove it? And how can you apply what you said to the selection of the soul ring?"

"There is no evidence. After all, to prove this conjecture, it takes a lot of time to conduct various experiments. But your dean, I am super busy, and I don't have time to do those at all."

Le Bai shook his head and said: "As for how to use the knowledge learned today, it's very simple. You already know that the essence of your own martial soul is the element of your own strong expression, so you only need to find out the most prominent element of your own martial soul, and then Find a spirit beast that has the same elements and is equally outstanding, and absorb the spirit ring of that kind of spirit beast, and you can maximize the possibility of your martial spirit evolution."

...

By the way, do a survey.

Regarding the new book, my ability is limited, and the topics I can write are very limited. I communicated with the editor in charge and learned that the current popular topics are the types I am least good at.

After much deliberation, let’s do a survey of readers’ intentions.

The following topics, in no particular order:

1. Urban/Science Fiction – black technology type. Will try to write something that is not the same as the ones that are currently available. Just like Douluo's many protagonists are high-end, the following ones are low-end.

2. Original fantasy/game in another world - similar to the setting of "The Game of the World Tree", which will project people in the real world into a different world and play it as a game. But what I want to choose next is the player's perspective, and focus more on the depiction of the different world. Adventure is a man's romance (extremely subjective)!

3. Cultivating Immortals——I can only write about farming. Then, I will complain about the various unreasonable aspects of traditional immortal cultivation. , Try to write a story about cultivating immortals with positive energy that neither "goes against the sky" nor "kills people to seize treasure". (It is estimated that it will be said to be licked again by then)

4. Original fantasy - a new version of traditional fairy tales - not necessarily about monkeys, but also stories about Cowherd and Weaver Girl. Will the overall tone be more towards light novels, or sand sculptures? It may not be possible to write that feeling.

5. Anime-like people - there seems to be nothing to say about this, and I feel that I can't write much new ideas, but if there are many people who like it, it's okay.

These are the five that come to mind for the time being, and you can vote directly after the corresponding paragraph. If you have other suggestions and ideas, please leave a message in this paragraph.

Statistics will be made three days later (March 8, 2021).
