Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 205 [Structural Erosion]

After bidding farewell to Chrysanthemum Douluo, Han Tao returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School

He then told Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling about the secret technique of "Connecting Heaven and Earth".

"By drawing upon the immense spiritual power of heaven and earth, one can greatly expand their meridians!"

The width of a Soul Master's meridians determines their cultivation talent and cultivation speed!

However, this can lead to damage to the meridians, making it necessary to seek microscopic treatment from Ye Lingling.

“I’ll go and call Father right away!” Ning Rongrong said.

Mental strength determines the amount of spiritual power one can mobilize, and Ning Fengzhi's eighth soul skill happens to be able to enhance mental strength.

Ning Fengzhi was poisoned by two immortal herbs, making it impossible for him to use his soul power during the transition between day and night, but that doesn't mean he can't at other times.
"Han Tao!" Ning Fengzhi stepped forward.

With a joyful smile, the lines on his face dappled in the sunlight: "I heard from Rongrong that you recently developed a secret technique that can increase a Soul Master's Soul Power?"

Han Tao was already used to it: "Yes."

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the strongest support-type item in Douluo Continent, but also the support-type item that is most lacking in soul power.

The core purpose of real-time buffs is to reduce the effects of soul power; maximizing the buff effect is secondary.

"Assuming sufficient soul power, there's no need for so-called real-time buffs; wouldn't it be equivalent to an aura if it could be applied continuously?"

"But, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master doesn't have that much soul power!"

In the original novel, Ning Rongrong's "Martial Soul True Body" had the effect of "reducing soul power consumption by half" due to the limitation of her total soul power.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the ultimate martial soul, has a core seventh soul ring that doesn't enhance support effects, but rather reduces soul power consumption.
Clearly, the benefit of reducing the soul power effect is greater for Ning Rongrong; removing the soul power restriction is more valuable than increasing the buff.
"【Heaven-Piercing and Earth-Piercing】is, for my Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, a secret technique equivalent to a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone!"

"Connecting with the soul power of heaven and earth, the soul power flows inexhaustibly. As a result, soul power is no longer a constraint on the Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Ning Rongrong looked on with admiration and slowly ran to Han Tao's side.

As Han Tao's master, Ning Fengzhi also learned of the secret technique's value. He maintained a smile throughout, but a longing gleamed in his eyes:

"Han Tao, you should know."

"I'm currently desperately short of soul power. Could you teach me this secret technique?"

Ning Fengzhi looked ashamed and shamelessly asked Han Tao for the secret method.

“I didn’t tell Father the secret technique!” Rongrong’s sweet voice rang out.

Um.
After feigning hesitation, Han Tao smiled and said, "Even close masters and disciples should keep clear accounts."

"Of course I can give you the secret technique, but I can't just hand it over for nothing. Master, you have to give me a reward."

"Reward?" Ning Fengzhi immediately replied, "No problem, the sect has plenty of money!"

On the Douluo Continent, you may hear rumors about pigs climbing trees, but you will never hear that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is short of money.
Han Tao rubbed his fingers together slightly and pointed at Ning Fengzhi's soul tool: "I want this!"

"A soul tool?" Ning Fengzhi asked, puzzled.

Suddenly realizing that Han Tao didn't even have a soul tool, he immediately took off the soul tool from his wrist and handed it over.

It's just a soul tool, worth a few hundred thousand gold soul coins, which isn't something the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't lack.

"With research funds of ten million gold soul coins, it would be more than enough to buy a soul tool. How come you're living such a poor life?" Ning Fengzhi said.

Han Tao didn't answer. He took the soul tool from his master and finally smiled: "[Heaven and Earth Connected], go ask Ning Rongrong about it later."

"I may need to ask you, Master, to help me with my next training session. Please use my eighth soul skill: Amplify Mental Power."

Actually, telling Ning Fengzhi the [Heaven-Piercing Earth-Piercing] secret technique wasn't entirely for the sect's benefit; the core beneficiary was myself. My cultivation required Ning Fengzhi's assistance, and my eighth soul skill was a major mana drain. If Ning Fengzhi's soul power was insufficient, my cultivation speed would decrease, which was unacceptable!
"Hmm!" Ning Fengzhi paused, seemingly unperturbed.

The Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda flew out from the palm of the hand and spun in the sky.

"The eight treasures transform into crystal, and the eight treasures have names. The eighth is: Spirit!"

With Yu Ningfeng's assistance, Han Tao's mental power underwent another qualitative change, and his Purple Demon Eye broke through to the "Mustard Seed Realm"!
His soul power rushed towards the "Tongtian Acupoint" and "Yongquan Acupoint," and his whole body was suddenly connected, merging into one with the soul power of heaven and earth.

"Heaven and earth, nature."

The surging soul power poured into his meridians, expanding them at an extremely rapid pace, enhancing their resilience and strength, and boosting Han Tao's cultivation talent.
However, at the same time, various capillaries are also constantly being damaged.

"Ye Lingling!" Han Tao called out anxiously.

Ye Lingling was already prepared on the side.

But then one sees the Nine-Hearted Begonia, its blue and pink light scattering across the martial soul, with the first three purple thousand-year soul rings standing out prominently.

"Treatment", "Cure", "Vitality"

At the Soul Venerable stage, Han Tao employed a unique combination of gravitational pressure and microscopic healing, which greatly accelerated his cultivation speed.
However, once you reach the Soul Master level, efficiency begins to decline.
At this moment, the secret technique of [Heaven and Earth Connecting] replaced [Gravity Compression], and together with Ye Lingling's microscopic healing, it maximized Han Tao's cultivation speed!

four months later
Han Tao successfully advanced to level 50, and is only one soul ring away from becoming a Soul King.

What kind of spirit ring should I choose?

Present
The evolution of Blue Silver Grass no longer requires the assistance of Soul Rings, nor does it have the core requirement of Origin Power.

There's no need to cross the poison barrier; choose the so-called "Five-Colored Phosphorescent Flower" soul ring.
"It's time to choose a powerful soul skill!"

Because Han Tao has advanced his Distraction Control Technique, he can use a secret method to avoid the "soul shock" of the soul ring, so soul rings older than ten thousand years do not pose a threat.

A 50,000-year soul ring corresponds to the Soul Master's Soul Douluo level and possesses a specific "microstructure" of soul power.

If a Soul Master rashly absorbs a Soul Ring that is over 50,000 years old, their Soul Power will be affected by the [microstructure] and change. Although it will not lead to the death of the Soul Master, the change in the microstructure of the Soul Power will even increase the Soul Master's combat power in a short period of time!

You'll find out once you break through to the Contra level.
The microstructure is already deeply ingrained and cannot be adjusted or evolved to move closer to the Martial Soul.

The price is:

If you rashly absorb a soul ring that is over 50,000 years old (not the original one), level 89 will be your limit.

Equivalent to [Soul Shock], the effect of a 50,000-year soul ring is called [Structural Erosion].

In the Contra stage, the microstructure of soul power begins to transform, and even absorbing a soul ring that is over 50,000 years old will not cause any harm at this stage.

Because structural transformation has already begun, erosion and transformation are proceeding simultaneously, which will only slightly reduce the cultivation speed.
"did not expect"

"Am I pretty lucky?"

After absorbing the 100,000-year-old right leg bone, Han Tao's soul power transformed into blue silver soul power. Fortunately, blue silver soul power is a source soul power.

Then, a possibility suddenly popped into my mind: "Wait a minute."

Is the "solitary bamboo structure" the same as "structural erosion"?

Even if Tang San missed the opportunity, there was still a price to pay for seizing it. It's just that his theoretical understanding was insufficient back then, so he didn't realize it.

"Ha!" Han Tao chuckled.

The rice is already in my bowl, how can I not eat it?
It's just a little bit of luck that's hindering me. It couldn't stop me in the past, let alone in the future!

Once Ning Rongrong's theory of "microstructure" breaks through, the so-called "structural erosion" will be nothing but bullshit!
Are you trying to trap me in Contra? Do you really think I'm Yu Xiaogang?
