Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 130 Battle Simulation
At that moment, Han Tao turned his gaze to Ning Rongrong.

This is another tool he repeatedly selected.

"Rongrong."

Han Tao's tone carried a strange sense of melancholy.

"What?" The little head turned around, eyes wide.

"Your father is currently at the Soul Douluo stage, a period of transformation in the microstructure of his soul power."

Ning Rongrong hummed in agreement.

"You can observe and record the changes in this part, and try to understand them. This will be of great benefit to you in the future."

Ning Fengzhi, with a smile on his face, said, "It's you who wants to research this theory, isn't it?"

"Yes!" Han Tao nodded, "That's indeed the case."

"But for Ning Rongrong, the necessity of studying the microstructure of soul power is even greater than that of immortal herbs!"

"Huh?" Ning Rongrong was surprised.

Ning Fengzhi found it hard to believe.

He had eaten the herb before and knew its terrifying effects very well, but Han Tao said something different at this moment.
This inexplicable "microstructure" is actually more important than the herb?

"Impossible!" Sword Douluo immediately retorted.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Sword Douluo spoke arrogantly, his expression resolute; he believed in his own judgment.

"Why do you say that?" Ning Fengzhi asked, slightly puzzled.

Han Tao didn't speak, but instead revealed his martial spirit.

Four spirit rings—yellow, white, purple, and black—surrounded the martial spirit, emitting distinctly different intensity fluctuations.

"Master, do you remember asking me why I chose this white spirit ring?"

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment and then understood: "That's indeed the case. Are you now going to explain why you chose this spirit ring?"

Han Tao channeled his soul power, summoning the Blue Silver Bamboo, which he held in his palm.

"This spirit ring was taken from Guzhu!"

"The 96 Guzhu bamboo, with its innate aura, allows Soul Masters to exhibit a [bamboo joint] microstructure of Soul Power when breaking through Soul Power levels."

Ning Rongrong tiptoed to follow Han Tao's train of thought.

His face was full of curiosity: "A microscopic structure that can only appear when one's soul power breaks through."

"So, what is his purpose?"

Sword Douluo suddenly spoke up: "Obviously, this thing isn't very practical, and I don't think it's necessary to know about it at all."

Han Tao was a little annoyed and waved his hand, silencing Sword Douluo's voice.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't transmit his voice into the illusion.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it, why won't they let me listen? Why won't they let me speak!"

"What's wrong with me, a titled Douluo, saying a few words?"

Using the strength of a Title Douluo, one could forcibly break through the illusion, but...
Doing this could potentially hurt Ning Rongrong.

Sword Douluo was jumping up and down in a panic outside.
"Alright, now it's quiet."

"Guzhu can provide an additional 0.2 growth base."

Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi were unclear about the definition of this concept: "Growth base?"

Han Tao began to explain: "Different martial soul qualities yield different benefits with each level increase."

Looking at Ning Fengzhi, he gave an example: "For instance, the growth base of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is 0.7. A Soul Master's growth is twice that of a Soul Warrior, a Great Soul Master's is three times that of a Soul Warrior, and so on."

"Oh, no, your martial soul is the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and its growth base is 0.8."

Ning Fengzhi nodded. As the author of "Comparison of Combat Power of Various Soul Masters at Different Stages", he had some knowledge of this kind of theory.

However, this was the first time he had ever heard of the clear concept of "growth base".

Ning Rongrong tiptoed to the side, secretly amused. "My martial soul is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, doesn't that mean I have a 0.9 growth potential?"

"Turns out I'm a genius!!!"

Thinking this, she let out a cackling laugh.

Han Tao ignored her strange laughter and continued, "The Seven Kill Sword and the Clear Sky Hammer are both top-tier martial souls with a growth base of 0.8."

"The Nine-Heart Begonia, the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and various ultimate martial souls all have a base growth potential of 0.9!"

"Only the divine-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, can reach a growth base of 1.0."

Ning Fengzhi looked puzzled: "The Haotian Hammer's growth potential is only 0.8."

"How did he manage to fight the six-winged angel to a draw?"

A 0.2-dimensional difference means more than just a 20% increase in panel strength.

0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8 = 0.512
That's almost double the difference, an insurmountable chasm.

Han Tao smiled, for he happened to know this part.

"Because of the Haotian Nine Absolutes, the combat system of exploding rings."

"A 100,000-year soul ring is equivalent to the soul power of a Title Douluo, which is equivalent to doubling Tang Hao's soul power."

Ning Rongrong fell into deep thought: "But even so..."

Ning Fengzhi interrupted her, "I understand!"

"You know it all now?" she asked, her face showing displeasure.

Ning Fengzhi began to explain: "Because Tang Hao's stats were unbalanced, even though his soul power far surpassed Qian Xunji's, his physical strength and mental strength lagged behind, so he could only fight him to a draw."

Han Tao nodded: "That's only one aspect!"

The course of a battle is influenced by more than just basic data on the character panel.

Combat strategies, soul skill effects, and ghostly methods all influence the course of a battle.

The illusion began to take effect, and Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi seemed to see the figures of Tang Hao and Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji's face was unnatural, and his true appearance was not visible because Han Tao had never seen him before.

"The quality of a martial spirit also greatly enhances combat power!"

The illusory Qian Xunji and Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer collided under equal power, with Qian Xunji gaining an absolute advantage.

Ning Fengzhi looked at the figures of the two Title Douluos and felt inexplicably shocked.

"This"

"Your illusion is far too terrifying."

The digital realm is simply about extrapolating the future based on existing information from the past and present.

Fuck!
Han Tao's illusion directly constructs a world that simulates the development of reality.

"No!" Han Tao denied.

"The illusions created by Soul Masters are timeless."

The lack of a timeline is an objective problem.

Compared to my own illusion, it's not a life-or-death arena and doesn't have the effect of simulating time.

"Secondly, there's the difference in soul skills!"

Under the watchful eyes of the two, the transformed Qian Xunji revealed his Angelic Martial Soul and unleashed his sixth Soul Skill: Angelic Roar!
"An attack targeting the soul will result in the soul shattering and death if the user's mental strength is less than half of theirs."

If it exceeds half, it will transform into a "mental shock," which will damage the mental body.

Rongrong covered her lips: "Mental strength is precisely Tang Hao's weakness!"

"Yes!" Han Tao nodded.

Han Tao knew very little about the Angelic Martial Soul.

However, he happened to know the sixth soul skill of the Angelic Martial Soul.

This information came from a conversation between Qian Renxue and Xuefeng after Han Tao obtained the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, during a life-or-death situation.
