Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 170 Top-Tier Martial Soul
Tang San's combat intelligence is not low.

Han Tao had previously demonstrated his skills, using Blue Silver Grass to allow Soul Masters to shift their bodies and thus evade attacks from hidden weapons.

thus
Under the Batwing Reincarnation, the trajectory of the 36 Dragon Beard Needles almost completely blocked all of Han Tao's escape routes.

"Spider web binding!"

Tang San's third spirit ring lit up.

However, this time the target of the soul skill was not the enemy Han Tao, but the master who had fallen to the ground.

He firmly held Yu Xiaogang in place.

In this way, Han Tao would not be able to use the Blue Silver Grass to bind Yu Xiaogang's body and move him to use as a human shield.

"Tang San truly lives up to his reputation as the protagonist," Han Tao exclaimed.

It's not just about being blessed with good fortune; the protagonist's exceptional combat intelligence and instincts are also part of his inherent strengths.

Fortunately, he had already accumulated a great deal of knowledge and martial spirit foundation before facing Tang San.

Faced with the 36 dragon whisker needles of "Bat Wing Reincarnation", Han Tao only needs to use the second soul bone skill of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone to easily neutralize them, but in doing so...
The information about the soul bone will be exposed, and there is a chance that it will attract Tang Hao's attention.

There really is a way to die!

Han Tao's mind stirred, and his second soul ring emitted a white light:

"Blue Silver Bamboo!"

Three Blue Silver Grasses intertwined, forming a bamboo joint riddled with flaws. As the soul power increased, the bamboo joint grew taller, but it still couldn't change its fragile nature.

Han Tao continued to apply his soul power, and the Blue Silver Bamboo continued to grow, eventually stopping at 9.6 meters.

"This is the maximum time limit!"

"Hmph!" Seeing Han Tao's actions, Yu Xiaogang sneered, "Laughable spirit rings, laughable spirit skills!"

"So, do you understand the significance of the core theory of the Ten Spirit Rings?"

Looking at his prized disciple, the master earnestly admonished him:
"If you weren't my disciple, perhaps you would have chosen Guzhu as your first spirit ring."

Tang San nodded in agreement: "Yes!"

Han Tao ignored him.

As the Blue Silver Bamboo was formed, another portion of the soul power flowed forward along the bamboo, spreading and advancing. At the moment the bamboo took shape, the soul power flowed back at the end.

The returning soul power intersected with the advancing soul power, causing the end of the Blue Silver Bamboo to explode. Following the impact, the solitary bamboo turned into endless fragments that rushed towards the sky full of dragon whisker needles.

The long process was completed through the use of distraction control techniques to achieve synchronization.

Everything was accomplished in the blink of an eye.

The blue silver fragments collided with the three dragon whisker needles, barely managing to withstand a very small amount of attack.

"That's enough!" Han Tao said coldly.

Amidst the swirling dragon whiskers, the trajectory of three needles shifted, creating a small gap.

The Blue Silver Grass martial spirit emerged from the ground, generating tough vines that clasped together with Han Tao's fingers, their power intertwining on both sides.

Pulling Han Tao's body, it weaved through the densely distributed dragon whisker needles attacking from the sky.

"What?" Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in astonishment.

Tang San spoke in a sinister tone, "Just you wait."

From behind his shoulder, his external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, popped out.

The eight spider spears, a dark purple color, resembled tattered wings, half of which had been completely destroyed by Dugu Bo's Azure Phosphorus Toxin.

The other half of the eight spider spears touches the ground at their tips, assisting Tang San's Ghost Shadow Steps.

His figure flashed again, unleashing the secret technique to its fullest extent. Facing Han Tao, his will was resolute, and his expression was cold.

"There's no need to show mercy to your enemies; otherwise, you'll only create more trouble!"

Han Tao was not far away, and could even hear Tang San's soft murmurs.

"Ye Lingling, get ready!"

Within the illusory space, Han Tao's mind transmitted a message to Ye Lingling: "Wait, use your healing soul skill on my martial soul!"

“Okay!” Ye Lingling nodded in response.

While the two were talking,
Tang San had already arrived beside him, half of the Eight Spider Lances extending out, intending to pierce Han Tao's body.

Under Han Tao's control, the Blue Silver Grass moved as if it were his own arm, like a swing, propelling Han Tao's body.

He defused Tang San's attacks time and time again.

"So close, so close!" the master shouted from behind.

However, Dugu Yan's Azure Phosphorus Serpent quietly circled around to his back.

Both Han Tao and Tang San possessed the "Microscopic" level of the Purple Demon Eye, but Han Tao had an additional distraction control technique compared to Tang San.

Han Tao's Blue Silver Grass martial soul, in perfect harmony with his body, is not much weaker than Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps.

Tang San spoke in a low voice: "Your body can run, but your spirit cannot!"

"Eight Spider Lances, Devour!"

With Han Tao's deliberate indulgence, half of the Eight Spider Lances pierced his own martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, with unparalleled precision.

The power of devouring began to be unleashed, drawing upon the martial soul essence within the Blue Silver Grass.

"Now, Ye Lingling!"

The Nine-Heart Begonia reappeared in Ye Lingling's hand, and its healing light fell on the Blue Silver Grass, allowing Han Tao's damaged martial soul to recover.

Adaptation is the essence of Blue Silver Grass.

The field of adaptation is ever-changing, with both positive and negative aspects.

There are two ways to achieve a higher level of adaptation: one is to explore new areas of adaptation, and the other is to seek higher levels of energy.

The pressure provided Blue Silver Grass with a growth base of 0.1.

The fluctuations provided Blue Silver Grass with a 0.1 growth base.
Devouring was a completely new area of ​​adaptation that Han Tao discovered.

However, on the Douluo Continent, there are far too few Soul Masters with the ability to devour.
Therefore, out of desperation, Han Tao took the risk of personally dealing with Tang San and the Grandmaster.

"Tang San is really bad!"

The entire battle cannot be described as a complete rout.
The most crucial methods—illusion and soul power frequency—were not used; the Blue Silver Poison Barrier was only used for self-defense.

49999 years of phosphorus poison, it's overwhelming, I don't know how he survived.
Han Tao and the master had no enmity, so there was no need to target him under normal circumstances. Therefore, beating him up was just a side effect; the real purpose was...
He angered Tang San, forcing him to use the Eight Spider Lances, which prompted his own martial soul to evolve.

"But then again..."

"This absorption intensity is just right!"

Although Han Tao's Blue Silver Grass already possesses a certain initial strength, it should not be pushed to a high level directly when adapting to a new area.

Such a thousand-year-old external soul bone, and with half of it cut off by Dugu Bo, is just right for adaptation.

"As for the Blue Silver Origin, Tang San can absorb a portion of it,"

"But if you don't understand the essence of a martial soul, absorbing it is useless. A martial soul left unattended won't evolve naturally."

Even if the Blue Silver Grass's martial soul essence is drained, it doesn't matter.

The Martial Soul Origin Slot is independent; this is a fact that Han Tao has discovered.

In addition to the Martial Soul Origin Slot, Soul Masters also have Soul Ring Origin Slots and Soul Bone Origin Slots. (Weapon Martial Souls do not have this feature.)
Tang San has a 9999-year-old Blue Silver Grass spirit ring and a 10-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone. How can he possibly absorb these two parts?

Under the devouring power of the Eight Spider Lances, the healing effects of the Nine Heart Begonia, and the consumption of Blue Silver Origin, Han Tao's Blue Silver Grass underwent a transformation in a completely new realm:

Growth base: 0.7 → 0.8
"All basic components have been achieved!"

“蓝银草基础0.1、刀剑利刃0.1、斧钺重锤0.1、震荡0.1、压迫0.1、吞噬0.1，合计0.6成长基数，蓝银王的基础强度构成！”

"In addition, the initial toxin adaptation is 0.1, the spider venom targeting is 0.1, for a total growth base of 0.2!"

"With improved basic elemental adaptability, Blue Silver Grass's resistance to elements has increased, but its growth potential remains stagnant, likely due to incomplete high-level elemental resistance."
