Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 239 Rain
Rain and dew, as well as the ocean, are both variations of the water element. However, in terms of scope and breadth of attributes, the ocean element far surpasses the former, making it a high-level element equivalent to the power of the earth.

But the problem is
Ocean elements possess such perfect and powerful elemental properties that Blue Silver Grass cannot bear or obtain.

Choosing the rain and dew element and using the Snow Dance Martial Soul to make the Blue Silver Grass adapt is actually the most appropriate choice at the moment.

Han Tao looked up at the two of them with surprise and delight: "Really?"

"Yes!" Shui Bing'er nodded.

Then, pulling Xuewu along, he came to the dean's side and gently shook her arm.

"Grandma!" Shui Bing'er's voice was sweet and coquettish.

"Snow Dance. It suits you perfectly!"

To get Xue Wu to help Han Tao, he still needs the approval of his own dean.

The headmaster paced back and forth, feigning hesitation for a long time before revealing a slight smile.

"Xuewu, what's your opinion?" she asked.

Xue Wu glanced at Han Tao, her eyebrows twitching slightly, but she neither answered the principal's question nor made any statement.

"Hmm," Han Tao said, somewhat puzzled.

"Could it be that you want something in return?"

This possibility began to cross my mind; after all, how could I ask someone for help without offering compensation?

Demanding payment is perfectly reasonable.

Thinking of this, Han Tao quickly circulated his soul power and turned the soul tool in his hand to take out a golden card.

"There are 100 million gold soul coins inside. As long as you are willing to help me, money and everything else are negotiable."

Han Tao's voice inevitably sounded somewhat anxious.

Shui Bing'er chuckled, "Han Tao, aren't you looking down on people too much?"

"Qianxue Wusao, what you're using is a weather-related soul skill. You're a researcher of theory, don't you understand the strategic value of weather-related soul skills?"

Whether it's the first soul skill, Dark Cloud, or the rain, or the subsequent ice and snow and storm, they all belong to large-scale meteorological soul skills. These kinds of soul skills are not their strength in competitions, but they can still be used with Shui Bing'er to create the martial soul fusion skill, Snowfall.

When it exists independently, it possesses considerable strategic value.

For example, rainfall is a powerful force that reverses the natural order, helping crops grow and plants to flourish.

Large-scale battles between empires, involving macro-meteorological attacks such as storms and snow, have revolutionary combat significance. Therefore, the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire will grant her a corresponding status, not to mention the financial rewards.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't consider that."

Han Tao lowered his head sincerely.

For her, withdrawing her own gold soul coins felt like an insult.

"It's nothing!" Xuewu replied softly.

"Actually, I don't care about these things, but in reality, because of my martial spirit, I'm extremely busy."

Rights and responsibilities are equal. While enjoying the high status of the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire, she also needs to travel to different arid regions to use her spirit skills to bring rain, and her workload is comparable to that of the Dragon King of the East Sea in mythology.

"I may not have time to help you evolve your martial soul."

She briefly explained the reason.

Shui Bing'er gently tapped Han Tao and whispered in his ear, "Xue Wu is at the academy right now. If you want her help, you'd better hurry."

Han Tao understood what she meant.

He immediately summoned his martial soul, disregarding anything like healing or Blue Silver Grass samples.

He positioned his martial spirit directly in front of Xue Wu and said, "Thank you for your help this time."

Xue Wu smiled alluringly, examined the Blue Silver Grass for a moment, and then channeled her soul power into her martial soul.

On the snow-covered forge, the first yellow soul ring lit up: "Dark Cloud"!
A magnificent and expansive venue is the perfect time to unleash the power of this type of martial spirit. A specific spirit power slowly extends into the sky, and hundreds or thousands of meters above, a shadow rapidly grows larger, gradually obscuring the blazing sun.

"Dark clouds!" Thick clouds gathered together, coalescing into a dense, dark black, blocking out light and shadow as if blotting out the sun.

"Second Soul Skill, Rainfall!"

Xue Wu began to dance slightly, resembling an ancient rain-praying ritual, but she exuded an exquisite beauty.

A few drops of water slowly dripped from above the dark clouds.

Han Tao stretched out his hand and quietly watched the water droplets fall in front of him.

"rainwater."

This is a variant of the water element, with the same elemental strength as water, but containing relatively complex energy.

The rain element cast using soul skills is completely different from natural rainfall, at least in terms of its fundamental difference in energy level.

Han Tao's soul fused with his martial spirit, driving the roots of the Blue Silver Grass to absorb the rainwater falling from the dark clouds high in the sky.

"It slips into the night with the wind, silently nourishing all things."

The energy of the rainwater flows upstream along the roots of the Blue Silver Grass and the main stem of the Blue Silver Grass.

The gentle rainwater washes over the veins around the main stem, causing the granite blocks formed from the earth element to melt away one by one under its soft force.

"Dissolve!" Han Tao stared intently at the detailed transformation.

Everything happened too fast, so fast that Han Tao couldn't react.

The fusion of Blue Silver Grass and rainwater enhanced the martial soul's foundation at an unimaginable speed.

With the disappearance of the granite clumps, the energy flow channels were opened up, and the strength of the martial spirit rose again.

"Not quite the ultimate!"

Although it did not break through to the ultimate martial soul, its strength has surpassed that of the previous Dark Blue Silver Grass.

The difference between the ultimate martial spirits, even by a mere 0.1, is a world of difference!
"Thank you!" Han Tao smiled.

Xue Wu was breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling with each breath, indicating that the execution of these two soul skills was not easy.

"Um"

After a moment's hesitation, Han Tao decided to offer payment.

Within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, two immortal herbs remain to this day, one of which is the "Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass" possessing the ultimate ice.

The "Eight-Cornered Ice Grass" is affected by the Snow-White Swan's Kiss, and contains a terrifyingly potent poison; it is definitely not edible.

However, it is possible to use spiritual power to comprehend the ultimate ice and transform one's own martial soul, but with Han Tao's current physical body and soul power, he is unable to remove this immortal herb.
"How is it, any harvest?"

Shui Bing'er quietly approached Han Tao and asked curiously.

Han Tao ignored her for the time being, and instead activated his soul tool to take out a "baozi" and hand it to Xue Wu.

"This was made by a food-type Soul Master and can help you restore your Soul Power."

Shui Bing'er circulated her soul power, picked up the steamed bun Han Tao had given her, and sniffed it slightly: "It's not spoiled."

"How long can the food-type Soul Masters of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School store the ingredients they create?"

There are many food-type Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent, but very few can break through to the Soul Saint level. Oscar broke through to the Soul Saint level, which is why he has the ability to permanently store food.

Han Tao explained with a smile: "Generally speaking, the ingredients prepared can only be stored for 12 hours."

"After 12 hours, the medicinal effects of the ingredients will gradually disappear over time. However, as long as the food-type Soul Master breaks through to the Soul Saint level, and the Martial Soul and Soul Power become more or less unified, the food made can stabilize its form and retain its effects."

In reality, however, it is also unrealistic to preserve it permanently.

Even if the form is stable, the soul power will slowly dissipate. Without the replenishment of food-type soul masters, it will lose its effect after a maximum of one month.

Upon hearing Han Tao's explanation, Xue Wu took the steamed bun from Shui Bing'er and ate it in one bite.

She chuckled softly, "As expected of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it's a large and powerful organization, even possessing Soul Masters at the Soul Saint level."
