Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 186 Professional Guidance
Davis and Zhu Zhuyun achieved their goals.

Under the pressure of Haotian Douluo, he completed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill and transformed into the Netherworld White Tiger!

When Tang Hao was about to make another move, Bibi Dong stepped forward and interrupted him. The two were locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Afterwards, Tang Hao led Tang San and the others away.

Two days later.
In a relatively private place, he sought out Bibi Dong again.

"Speak, what is it?" Bibi Dong asked calmly.

Retaining its usual papal majesty, the scepter, representing the supreme power of the Spirit Hall, rests on the ground.

Haotian Douluo paused for a moment, then spoke directly:
"Is there any way to repair a damaged martial soul?"

“No!” Bibi Dong shook her head.

In the original story, Qian Renxue's martial soul was shattered and could not be restored, which shows that the Spirit Hall did not have the means to repair martial souls.

Bibi Dong chuckled, "Isn't Yu Xiaogang Tang San's master? You can ask him if there's any way to restore your martial soul."

"Are you mocking me?" Tang Hao was furious upon hearing this. "You know perfectly well that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was damaged because of that 'useless' master!"

Tang Hao gets angry whenever the master is mentioned.

The worst decision I ever made in my life was to tacitly allow Tang San to become my disciple.

"Yu Xiaogang isn't the useless person you make him out to be. He's published 'The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls,' so he's got some theoretical knowledge."

Bibi Dong defended Yu Xiaogang
"Bullshit!" Tang Hao retorted.
"That ridiculous theory about the lifespan of spirit rings? Your Spirit Hall doesn't know that? Or is it the Clear Sky Sect that's unaware?"

"What kind of bullshit is this about plant-based martial souls absorbing animal soul rings? That's utter nonsense!"

Tang San absorbed Yu Yuanzhen's blood, which caused a severe blood rejection phenomenon, resulting in his injuries accumulating three times.

Tang Hao continued, "If plant-type spirit rings can only absorb plant spirit rings, what am I supposed to do with my Clear Sky Hammer? Will all of them become sentient?"

Bibi Dong choked: "This..."

At this point, she had no choice but to acknowledge a cruel reality.

Yu Xiaogang's theories are riddled with errors and are highly likely to be plagiarized from others.
"Um"

Bibi Dong pondered for a moment, perhaps thinking of the recent intelligence she had obtained from Han Tao regarding the "microscopic treatment" theory.

"You can go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and ask Ning Fengzhi's disciple, Han Tao. He has some knowledge of martial spirit theory and might know something."

Tang Hao was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "Really?"

Faced with his question, Bibi Dong spoke again: "Then do you know Han Tao's soul power level?"

"Level 46 Soul Master?"

He realized in an instant, his expression filled with horror: "Han Tao's cultivation speed is not right!"

Han Tao grew up in Holy Soul Village. As a titled Douluo in the village, he naturally knew about Han Tao's awakened innate soul power.

"Can someone with level 1 innate soul power cultivate at this speed?"

"Could it be that he/she has obtained some kind of divine inheritance?"

"Or perhaps he consumed some kind of magical herb?"

"Did you obtain something like a 100,000-year-old soul bone?"

Tang Hao speculated on various possibilities.

“No!” Bibi Dong said.

She stretched out her body slightly, her voice soft and gentle: "Han Tao created a theory that compensates for the inferiority of innate soul power!"

"That's why I said he has some knowledge of martial spirits, you can go and ask him!"

"What theory?"

"Heh?" Bibi Dong chuckled.

Silence fell between the two.

After a long while, Tang Hao cupped his hands in farewell and said, "Farewell!"

The Qibao team welcomed a guest.

Yu Xiaogang!
Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, while retaining its unruly demeanor, also came at a price.

"Both arms are fractured!"

Ordinary healing soul masters cannot save a fractured bone.

Ye Lingling's martial soul is the Nine-Hearted Begonia, whose healing effects are renowned throughout the Douluo Continent. Although Yu Xiaogang looks down on her martial soul and is extremely jealous of her reputation.

But having suffered such severe injuries, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and seek treatment.

"What are you doing here?" Ning Rongrong asked coquettishly.

Yu Xiaogang, with his arms hanging limply, saw Ning Rongrong and seemed to realize something, immediately adopting a certain posture:
"Rongrong, I heard from Dean Flander that you were once a student at Shrek Academy?"

Ning Rongrong felt nauseous: "Don't try to pull strings!"

The master continued to advise, "As students of the academy, you need to have a sense of collective honor."

"Look at how badly I've been injured, can't you order Ye Lingling to come out and help treat your master?"

Although Ning Rongrong disliked Ye Lingling, she disliked Yu Xiaogang even more, especially his demeanor as a head teacher.

"roll!"

She kicked him in the chest, sending Yu Xiaogang flying like a toad, crashing outside the door.

Boom!
The door was slammed shut.

"what happened?"

Hearing the sound, Han Tao came out and casually asked.

Ning Rongrong said coquettishly, "It's all because of Ye Lingling."

"We've offended some shady characters, and now the real culprits have come knocking on our door!"

As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at Ye Lingling.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling became anxious and repeatedly explained, "I didn't! I really didn't!"

Han Tao maintained a smile throughout: "It must be Yu Xiaogang!"

Blue Silver Grass is known for its keen senses; how could it possibly hide Yu Xiaogang's movements from it?

Then, I pushed open the door and saw this "master" who was barely getting up from the ground.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Yu Xiaogang stood up, chest puffed out, and regained some confidence.

"Han Tao, I admit that you achieved a little bit of success in the Elite Soul Master Competition!"

"However, the Qibao team's lineup has very serious problems: it lacks offensive and control-oriented characters. If it continues like this, it will not be able to win the championship!"

The master talked at length about his strategies and tactics, and did his best to belittle the lineup of the Qibao team.

"See?" Ning Rongrong spread her hands.

Ye Lingling nodded in agreement: "I admit, you were right to kick it out!"

It's truly rare that the two of them reached a consensus.

Han Tao revealed a sarcastic smile, wanting to hear what shocking things this "Gangzi" could say.

The master strode confidently to Han Tao, his expression a mixture of emotions:
"Do you know why? Because you've chosen the wrong path for your Blue Silver Grass. Blue Silver Grass should be a Control-type!"

"You lack the guidance of professional theory and the instruction of wise elders!"

Tang San failed, the Shrek Academy team failed, they failed to prove their theory, and they failed to achieve the reputation of "Master".

Therefore, Yu Xiaogang started to have an idea.

He wanted to take Han Tao as his apprentice so that if Han Tao won the championship, it would prove how correct his theory was!
Han Tao was speechless.

"No need!" he waved his hand impatiently. "Your lousy theory is worthless!"

He basked in the glory of his past achievements, but more importantly, these achievements were not his own; they were plagiarized.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang became angry: "How dare you question my theory?"

"Humph!"

The master turned his head, a fleeting look of disdain crossing his face: "Just watch!"

"Without my professional guidance, Team Qibao could not have won the championship!"

As he spoke, he walked up to Ye Lingling again, his haughty demeanor vanishing:

"Could you please treat me?"
