Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 221 "Professional" Guidance

The golden invitation exudes the unique charm of the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

When Tang Xiao held the paper in his hands, he knew it was real, there was no mistake!

Tang Xiao stared at the master's face.

Without any statement, the atmosphere within the entire Haotian Sect became tense for a moment.

Although I can't be completely certain of his skill level, I'm about 70-80% sure. But making a decision means taking responsibility, so I'll observe him a bit more.
Putting aside Yu Xiaogang's assignment for the moment, he turned his head and looked at Tang San. Seeing that Tang San's face was somewhat similar to Tang Hao's, a sense of melancholy welled up in his heart.

"You are Tang Hao's son?"

"Yes!" Tang San nodded firmly.

"How is he now?" Tang Xiao asked, his expression slightly anxious.

He quickly regained his composure. As the sect leader of the Haotian Sect, he determined the sect's fate and image.

Tang San did not hide anything and told the sect leader about what happened in Holy Soul Village and the Heaven Dou Empire, including the part about his father.

Upon hearing about Tang Hao's recent situation, Tang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but a cold smile crept onto his lips: "He's living quite the carefree life!"

"He seriously injured Qian Xunji, causing his death. He's so arrogant. Does he know what price the Haotian Sect will have to pay?"

Because of this incident, the Haotian Sect went into seclusion.

Many members of the sect had grievances about this, so the sect leader had to make a statement.

"Damn it!" Tang San was indignant.

The Haotian Sect actually views my father in this way!
Those who dare to criticize my father's behavior deserve to die. If it weren't for your formidable strength, you would have received a "Buddha's Wrath Lotus"!
Although...
Tang San didn't have the materials to make the "Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus," but the Haotian Sect did. As a blacksmithing sect, and one of the top three sects at that, they certainly wouldn't lack materials for making hidden weapons.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

Tang San immediately knelt down, adopting a humble posture: "I admit that this is my father's fault, and I am willing to bear the consequences of my father's mistakes!"

His attitude pleased the members of the Haotian Sect.

"Let it go," Tang Long advised.

"Yes!" Tang Xiao nodded.

He was just making a gesture to test Tang San's thoughts, and I'm very satisfied with his attitude.

"Since that's the case, I promise you, Tang San, I will acknowledge my ancestors and return to my clan!"

The following process was rather complicated, taking half a day, before Tang San successfully joined the Clear Sky Sect and became a disciple of the sect.

Yu Xiaogang smiled and said, "Because of Tang San, I can provide professional theoretical guidance to the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect!"

Holding his head high, he adopted an arrogant posture, as if to say, "Come and beg me!"

However, since Tang Xiao had not given any instructions, the disciples dared not seek guidance from the "master" and had to wait until everything had settled down before proceeding.

Yu Xiaogang spoke eloquently about his research findings.
This includes, but is not limited to, "The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls", "The Ten Core Competencies of Bloodlines", and "The Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique".
"and many more!"

Tang Xiao interrupted his speech.

"You just said there's a way for Soul Masters to absorb high-level Soul Rings beyond their limits?"

This theory is extremely important to the Haotian Sect.

Han Tao had studied the combat system of the Clear Sky Hammer.

The effects of Soul Skills are not important, nor are the attributes of Soul Rings; the only important thing is the age of the Soul Ring.

Under the influence of the exploding rings, only soul power is fundamental, and the age of the soul rings represents the amount of soul power, which is the core element that determines combat power!
"Of course!"

The master smiled faintly and casually summoned Tang San over: "Tang San, reveal your martial soul!"

With a raised hand, the Blue Silver Grass sprang up from the ground, revealing two exceptionally deep black spirit rings on it.

"What method?" Tang Long asked eagerly. As the third-generation chief disciple, he was not far from breaking through to Soul Saint. If he could absorb the next Soul Ring beyond his limits, the boost to his combat power would be significant.

The master ignored him and simply looked at Tang Xiao calmly.

"Fine!"

Tang Xiao took out an honorary medal and handed it to Yu Xiaogang: "From now on, you will be the theoretical guest elder of the Haotian Sect!"

The master nodded in satisfaction and pinned the brand-new medal to his left chest.

The Spirit Hall's medals were worn on the right side, the two medals complementing each other and radiating unparalleled wisdom.

Head held high, calm and collected: "Sacrifice!"

"There is only one way to absorb a spirit ring beyond its limits: have the spirit beast sacrifice itself!"

Tang Xiao didn't say much about the answer, but Tang Longsheng was dissatisfied: "Sacrifice?"

"Everyone knows that a soul beast's voluntary sacrifice allows a soul master to perfectly absorb the energy of a soul ring and soul bone, but what soul beast would willingly sacrifice itself?"

"Hahaha!" Yu Xiaogang burst into laughter.

Tang San patted his disciple gently, a calm smile appearing on his face: "If they're unwilling to sacrifice themselves, then we'll find a way to make them sacrifice themselves willingly!"

"Even soul beasts inevitably have weaknesses, and we need to start by exploiting their vulnerabilities."

"For example, by using the child of a soul beast as a threat, the mother of the soul beast can be forced to sacrifice herself."

Tang Hu was stunned for a moment.
The Clear Sky Sect has only been in seclusion for a few years. I never expected that the values ​​on the Douluo Continent would have changed so much.
Or am I just being too much of a saint?

The master looked approvingly at his disciple. "As expected of my carefully taught student, with such imaginative thinking, he will surely be able to inherit my mantle."

After carefully inquiring about Tang Long's situation for a long time, he offered "professional" guidance:

"When a Soul Emperor breaks through to the Soul Saint stage, the maximum age of their Soul Ring is 30000 years. However, if you allow a Soul Beast to sacrifice itself, you can try to absorb a Soul Ring from a Soul Beast that is over 50,000 years old!"

"A spirit ring that has exceeded its age limit can increase a spirit master's spirit power more significantly, and its enhancement to the physique is also more pronounced!"

Yu Xiaogang spoke with great conviction.

He didn't even know what "soul tremor" was, let alone have any knowledge of the theory of "microscopic erosion."
Sacrifice is a right unique to soul beasts.

If sacrifices can be achieved through coercion or duress, then the value of this right is lost, and the meaning of sacrifice is also lost.

Since the soul beasts have been passed down to this day, it is impossible for them to retain this ability.

Ordinary Soul Masters can coerce Soul Beasts over 50,000 years old into sacrificing themselves. The microstructure of the Soul Beast will affect the Soul Master's Soul Power, thus restricting the Soul Master's growth and breakthroughs at the Soul Saint and Soul Douluo levels.

Hidden mines, buried underground.

Tang San, the chosen one of destiny in Douluo Continent, is an exception.

"The Mysterious Heaven Skill is truly amazing!"

Innate soul power can assimilate the microstructures of different soul powers.

Absorbing a 50,000-year-old soul ring beyond one's limits can actually increase the quality of one's innate soul power by utilizing its assimilation ability.

“Okay!” Tang Long agreed.

His eyes gleamed with anticipation. If he could obtain a 50,000-year soul ring, he might even be able to contend with an ordinary Soul Douluo once he broke through to the Soul Saint level.

"Master, truly a master!"

Faced with his flattery, the master's lips curled into a smile, and his chest stood tall.

His gaze was fixed on the distant western horizon, fixed on the setting sun, his spirits high.
