Douluo Dalu: Tiger Roars in the Universe

Chapter 7: Marriage, Lost Light Attribute

"This is a long story." A hint of reminiscence flashed in the eyes of the Xingluo Patriarch.

"A thousand years ago, the White Tiger Martial Soul inherited by our Xingluo royal family was as famous as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul. The two were ranked as the strongest offensive beast spirits on the continent. But now, our White Tiger Martial Soul is inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul."

"It's not because the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul has evolved and surpassed us, but because our White Tiger Martial Soul has gone wrong and its quality has declined, so it can no longer compete with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul."

"That is to say, the White Tiger Martial Spirit inherited by our royal family is incomplete and defective, right?" Finally, the key point was mentioned, which made Dai Yaochen excited. He immediately asked, "What is the cause of this problem?"

"Marriage." In response to Dai Yaochen's question, Xingluo Patriarch uttered these two words.

"Marriage?" After hearing these two words, combined with what Xingluo Patriarch had just said about the awakening of the light element, Dai Yaochen seemed to have some understanding in his heart.

"You should know that the White Tiger Martial Spirit inherited by our Dai family and the Nether Spirit Cat Martial Spirit inherited by the Zhu family can activate the Martial Spirit Fusion Technique - Nether White Tiger." Xingluo Patriarch continued, "Because of this reason, our ancestors set the rules of marriage, hoping to deepen the relationship between the two families in this way and rely on each other."

"The marriage of two families with martial soul fusion skills, a strong alliance, and common development, seems to be a hundred benefits with no harm, but the ancestors of the two families at that time did not know that they had buried a huge hidden danger."

At this point, Xingluo Patriarch's expression seemed very regretful: "The original White Tiger Martial Spirit has light attributes, while the Nether Spirit Cat Martial Spirit has dark attributes. If people with these two martial spirits get married and have children, guess what will happen?"

"Could it be that there is a conflict between the light and dark attributes, resulting in the weakening of the light and dark attributes inherited by the offspring?" Having said this, Dai Yaochen probably already understood what the situation was.

"That's right." Xingluo Patriarch nodded. "The light and dark attributes conflict and cancel each other out. So the consequence of our marriage is that the light and dark attributes are getting weaker and weaker. The light origin of the White Tiger Martial Spirit and the dark origin of the Nether Spirit Cat are constantly being consumed until they are completely lost. There is no light or dark attribute anymore, and only the physical abilities are retained."

it is as expected.

No wonder Patriarch Xingluo said that the original White Tiger Martial Soul could rival the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul. Both had strong bodies and were evenly matched. In terms of elements, the light attribute of the White Tiger Martial Soul could also compete with the lightning attribute of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul. However, with the continuous marriage with the Zhu family, the light attribute of the White Tiger Martial Soul disappeared, and naturally it could no longer be compared with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul.

But the Dai family is actually okay. Even without the light attribute, the White Tiger Martial Soul's physical body is still strong. Although it is no longer top-notch, it is still considered a first-rate martial soul.

The Zhu family was truly miserable. The loss of the dark attribute directly caused the Nether Spirit Cat Martial Spirit to fall to a second-rate level. They could only try their best to develop their physical abilities and move towards the direction of agility attack.

"Since you all know this disadvantage, great uncle, why do you still insist on the marriage?" Dai Yaochen suddenly thought of this situation and couldn't help asking.

Xingluo Patriarch explained: "When our ancestors discovered this problem, it was too late. The loss of light and dark attributes in the White Tiger Martial Soul and the Nether Spirit Cat Martial Soul could no longer be stopped. Even if we give up the marriage, after two or three generations, the light and dark origins of the two martial souls will disappear completely."

Dai Yaochen understood.

Even if the marriage is stopped, the loss of light and dark attributes of the two martial spirits cannot be remedied. In this case, why not just give up and continue the marriage? Anyway, it won't be much worse, and the rule over the Xingluo Empire can be consolidated through the marriage between the two families.

Dai Yaochen didn't know how to comment on the choice made by the two ancestors.

"For hundreds of years since then, no one in our royal family has ever produced a person with a complete White Tiger martial spirit." At this point, Xingluo Patriarch looked directly at Dai Yaochen, "Until now, your martial spirit has returned to its ancestral state, or there are signs of it returning to its ancestral state."

Although in the test just now, Patriarch Xingluo did not sense the slightest fluctuation of light attribute in Dai Yaochen's skills, he did not directly deny the possibility of Dai Yaochen's martial soul returning to his ancestral home.

After all, in the eyes of Patriarch Xingluo, the upgrade of Dai Yaochen's first two soul rings to the thousand-year level was a sign of his martial soul returning to its ancestral state. Although the light attribute was not obvious now, with proper stimulation, his martial soul should be able to completely return to its ancestral state and restore the light attribute that the White Tiger martial soul should have.

However, what Xingluo Patriarch didn't know was that the reason why Dai Yaochen's soul ring age increased was entirely due to the system, and had nothing to do with the so-called reversion of the martial soul. As for the reawakening of the light attribute, there was no sign at all.

Dai Yaochen now understood that Xingluo Patriarch had misunderstood him, but he did not explain it. After all, it involved the system and he could not explain it clearly, so he just let it be a misunderstanding.

Moreover, this misunderstanding is actually very beneficial to him. If the royal family members including the Xingluo Patriarch all believe that his martial soul can return to his ancestral state, coupled with his own talent for ring fusion, his status will be greatly improved, and Davis, a mere person, will no longer be able to pose any threat to him.

"As long as you can fully awaken the light attribute, possess a complete white tiger martial spirit, and pass it on, our royal family's strength will gradually recover to its heyday!" Xingluo Patriarch said this, looking at Dai Yaochen with a more kind gaze, "I will personally catch a suitable soul beast for you in the next two days to see if absorbing the top-grade soul ring can help you activate the light attribute."

"As for now, it's getting late. You should go back and have a good rest."

After saying that, Patriarch Xingluo took Dai Yaochen back to the room and left in a hurry.

He wanted to go back and study what kind of soul ring Dai Yaochen should absorb in order to help activate the light attribute.

"Has the light attribute been lost?" After Xingluo Patriarch left, Dai Yaochen sat on the bed, lowered his head and looked at his outstretched hands. He subconsciously clenched them, as if he wanted to grab something. "Since it's lost, I'll find a way to make it up."

After knowing that the problem with his White Tiger Martial Soul was the lack of light attribute, Dai Yaochen could work towards reawakening the light attribute. He also had some ideas in his mind as to how to do it.

However, before implementing his plan, Dai Yaochen decided to try Xingluo Patriarch's method to see if it would succeed.
