Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 214 The Beginning of Annihilation

"The offering token is damn useful!"

Although the Star Luo Royal Academy adheres to a cruel tradition, Han Tao is not normally able to infiltrate it.

However, a more formal visit is still possible.

When Han Tao presented the "Crown Prince's Decree" of the Heaven Dou Empire and the "Offering Decree" of the Spirit Hall, and visited the First Prince Davis of the Star Luo Empire as Ning Fengzhi's disciple, it was exceptionally easy.

“Han Tao?” Davis came out.

He frowned, puzzled. "Speak, what do you want with me?"

His attitude was indifferent, and his tone was not malicious.

After all, Han Tao was the champion of the National Elite Soul Master Competition, and he defeated the core members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation on an honorable basis. Although he couldn't understand the combat tactics at all, he should still be respected even if he didn't understand them.

"I came here mainly to ask about a question."

“Speak!” Davis replied calmly.

"I'd like to ask, what spirit beast did you choose for your fourth spirit ring?"

"Just for this, you went to all this trouble?" Davis asked suspiciously.

His expression gradually became wary as he scrutinized Han Tao's behavior, trying to guess his true purpose.

"This is it!" Han Tao smiled frankly.

Davis remained silent.

Han Tao seemed a little puzzled: "Is this... very private?"

"Confidential information!"

"Of course, if you're willing to give something in return, I can let you know."

Han Tao was taken aback, never expecting to be threatened like this. He casually waved his hand and asked, "What do you want?"

Yu Hantao doesn't see any secrets, but using illusions to obtain other people's secrets is ultimately going too far.

Davis scratched his head sheepishly.
What did he want? He wasn't really sure himself, but he was unwilling to share information for nothing, as it would make him lose face.

"Um"

"Share a theory with me, but you can figure out what it is yourself!"

Han Tao immediately burst into laughter.

"You've chosen the method that yields the highest returns!"

Then, Han Tao explained the enhancement system composed of soul skills, based on Davis's martial soul:
“A martial spirit with a long history usually has a fixed path of soul skills. The White Tiger Protective Barrier and White Tiger Vajra Transformation that Dai Mubai showed at the National Elite Soul Master Competition belong to the same enhancement system.”

"Growing along the path of the enhancement system will bring about a qualitative change in the combat power of a Soul Master once they are fully formed!"

The three-stage buff increase, while resulting in the loss of three offensive soul skills, makes the soul ring combination too extreme.
However, it can maximize the strength of the martial soul itself, and in a short period of time, its combat power is close to that of the Clear Sky Hammer under the Nine Absolute Rings.

Davis defended himself: "It's not as simple as you think."

"This route is far too demanding!"

"White Tiger Protective Barrier, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, White Tiger Demon God Transformation, Evil Eye White Tiger True Form, and the Nine-Ring White Tiger Netherworld Transformation—these are five soul rings, a full five soul rings!"

Five spirit rings, all of them enhancement type, sounds easy, but it's not so simple in practice.

The struggle for the throne in the Star Luo Empire is a life-or-death contest. In such a dire situation, would you dare to sacrifice your previous efforts for an uncertain path?
Davis could become a target for the other princes if he shows any sign of weakness at any stage.

"I see!" Han Tao sighed.

"Therefore, the rules of the Star Luo Empire's royal family were set up for this path."

"Choosing this path is not only a test of talent, but also a selection of will, courage and responsibility."

She gently patted his shoulder: "Actually, you still have a chance!"

Before he can achieve his Martial Soul True Form, Davis still has two Soul Rings to choose from, giving him a chance to make amends.

Two months later, he will break through to the Soul King level and completely bid farewell to this path.

He was caught in endless hesitation and confusion, unsure whether he should heed Han Tao's advice, since this was a path that would affect his entire life.

[Blue Silver]

During the finals, the vast scene of a god-level martial spirit suddenly appeared in his mind.

Davis made up his mind: "Yes!" "Hopefully, this path will be as powerful as you say."

With a relieved smile, after making the decision, he left the rest to Han Tao and Tianyi.

Perhaps it was because of Dai Mubai's death that, without competitors and pressure, making this decision was easier.

In response to his promise, he told Han Tao about his fourth spirit ring: "Evil Eye!"

The Evil-Eyed White Tiger is a perfect match for the Evil-Eyed Soul Beast.

"An evil eye?" Han Tao exclaimed in surprise.

Evil Eye, Evil Eye Tyrant, Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, the natural growth ecosystem of soul beasts.

but
These kinds of soul beasts are mainly distributed on the Sun and Moon Continent, so how come they also exist on the Douluo Continent?
"Let me tell you, this kind of soul beast only exists in the secret realms of the Star Luo Empire; it doesn't exist anywhere else!"

The Star Luo Empire cultivated a batch of Evil Eye Soul Beasts through secret realms to serve as nourishment for the Soul Rings of the Evil Eye White Tiger.

Only top-tier heirs are qualified to harvest such a spirit ring.

At this point, he even became somewhat arrogant.

The truth was somewhat cruel, but it failed to touch Han Tao's heart.

Having learned the name of the soul beast, Han Tao had already deduced the answer.

The strength at this moment is not only in terms of physical power, but also in the depth of theoretical foundation. With the intersection of theories from multiple fields, all the mysteries become readily apparent.

"Evil Eye Tyrant."

"The core ability is called Mental Blast!"

The shockwave is based on diffusion and splitting, with oscillation as a form of expanding the explosion, and is an attack on the spiritual body.

The spiritual body differs significantly from soul power and flesh and blood, and cannot be effectively threatened by physical or sonic vibrations.

"Using mental power, to annihilate the spiritual body through a shockwave!"

A spiritual entity is only called a spiritual entity when it is condensed; once it explodes and shatters, it will naturally dissipate into nothingness.

In this direction, the annihilation of the spiritual realm was achieved once again.

"Flesh and blood, soul power, spirit—each domain corresponds to its own form of annihilation."

"As for the annihilation of her special characteristics, we can only address it by focusing on the 'purification' ability of Ye Lingling's next soul ring."

Now, everything is ready.

The wind carried Ye Lingling's footsteps to Han Tao's ears, and that was the beginning of all enlightenment.

So, he focused his gaze again on his martial soul: Blue Silver Grass!

"it's time!"

"Based on theory, we will create the Blue Silver Grass with its annihilation properties!"

The actions followed Han Tao's will, using the method of "spirit fusion with the body" to fuse a reserved portion of the soul into the Blue Silver Grass spirit.

Microscopic characteristics, martial spirit structure, stem and leaf distribution, and even more detailed textures were transmitted to Han Tao's mind in sequence.

"Strip!"

The toxin is a dark line, with the core of the Dark Blue Silver Grass being devoured. The human-faced demon spider's toxin adaptation route, the cave demon spider's adaptation route, and the soul-devouring demon spider's adaptation route are successively separated from the Blue Silver Grass's main body.

The gray-black energy dissipated into nothingness against the azure sky.

Toxins are dispersed in a targeted manner!

Han Tao's Blue Silver Grass retained its basic strength in adapting to the field, so even after the toxins were removed, it still had a martial soul strength of 0.6.

"Blue Silver Mirror!"

The backup Blue Silver Mirror Image is still the ultimate Dark Blue Silver Grass, retaining 0.8 of the top-tier Martial Soul strength.

Because of the mirror backup, Han Tao's growth base of 0.8 will still be used when he breaks through levels, just like Tang San.

No matter how weak Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is, the attributes gained during growth will be selected based on the high values, calculated using the growth base of the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Wait until I open up the path to annihilation."

"By integrating with the dark blue silver grass in the mirror image, it fuses to create destructive power, achieving the ultimate strength of a martial soul!"
