Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 252 Martial Soul Foundation
Han Tao lowered his head and pondered.

Poison Douluo's eighth soul skill is Time Freeze, which is already at a very advanced level and in terms of specifications.

Given his discerning selection process, the ninth soul skill would likely be even more extraordinary.

"The Body of Azure Phosphorus!"

Dugu Bo held his head high, exuding absolute confidence.

The 30-meter-tall Azure Phosphorous Serpent King was summoned out of thin air. After completing the Martial Soul Possession, its ninth Soul Ring glowed faintly.

"Body elementalization"

Han Tao remembered this category of Soul Skills.

His body and the phosphorus toxins in the world merged completely into one.

Even with the Purple Demon Eye at the "Mustard Seed" level and the Blue Silver Eye's perception soul skill of ten thousand years, he still couldn't detect his figure.

"Amazing!" Han Tao exclaimed.

These days, Poison Douluo has been staying in the poisonous barrier of Sunset Forest for a long time. This is the unique simulated training ground of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King, where not only is the consumption of soul power low, but the recovery speed of soul power is also extremely fast.

If a Soul Master happens to pass by, he will hide and approach quietly, then suddenly jump out to scare them, just to satisfy his little bit of fun.

Han Tao unfolded the illusion and took out his diary to record this content.

[Body energy transformation allows it to evade the perception of those at the Mustard Seed Realm]

In the Douluo Continent, there are very few Soul Masters who can transform their bodies into energy; Bibi Dong's immortality is a typical example of this.

An attack that is not at the level of a god or higher cannot kill her completely.

The Poison Douluo's Azure Phosphorus Body has the same specifications.

"but."

"Compared to the absurdity of time freezing, this soul skill doesn't seem so bad."

Han Tao managed to sort out his thoughts.

Just then, Ye Lingling asked again, "But..."

"If you can transform your body into energy, why can't you cross the poison barrier on your own? Is it because the complex terrain of Sunset Forest has blinded you?"

Poison Douluo waved his hand: "You underestimate the poison barrier inside Sunset Forest."

"The middle layer of Sunset Forest is merely the Five-Colored Azure Phosphorus Toxin, while the inner circle is mostly Seven-Seven Azure Phosphorus, but a very small portion of the toxin has evolved to a higher level."

Han Tao frowned: "A higher level?"

The Seven Absolute Azure Phosphorus is already equivalent to the level of 100,000 years; the highest level would inevitably be the divine level.

"Yes!" Dugu Bo nodded firmly.

This firm stance came as a complete surprise to Han Tao.

如若
The phosphine poison in the inner circle has reached the divine level, which makes the events that happened before somewhat abnormal.

"Something's not right, something's really not right!"

It's reasonable that Ning Rongrong could use the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red to traverse the poisonous barrier, since Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red is a divine herb.

However, the Fragrant Silk Fairy is only of the highest quality. Although it is known as the "nemesis of all poisons", it may not be able to help a Soul Master block the god-level Azure Phosphorus Toxin.

"Before."

"For a period of time, the Acacia Heartbreak Red was in my hands."

Han Tao looked at the porcelain vase at his waist, his thoughts churning, as if there was something inside.
There are also some other factors involved.

"How so?" Dugu Bo asked again.

Han Tao nodded: "Okay!"

Then, he slightly turned the soul tool, took out an iron shovel, and handed it over: "Dig!"

Poison Douluo Ren was stunned: "Digging underground, it's that simple?"

Han Tao laughed: "You think it's that easy for you."

"You're underground, do you know the directions? Can you pinpoint the exact location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"

Poison Douluo's expression froze.

Although he is a Title Douluo with the ability to detect mental threats, he still cannot afford to gamble.

If someone digs in the wrong direction or comes up from the wrong spot, and the divine-level Azure Phosphorus Toxin floods into the ground, even a Title Douluo will not escape death.

So he took the shovel and, following the direction Han Tao pointed, began to dig forward.

Ye Junlan, standing to the side, appeared particularly restless.

If it were Ye Lingling digging, she could watch with a clear conscience, but since Poison Douluo had already taken action himself, it would be unacceptable for her to remain by and watch.
Do you think he'll have a problem with that?
"Han Tao!"

With no other option, she could only stiffen her expression and slowly tiptoe over.

"Could you give me a shovel too?" Ye Junlan asked.

Even though she knew Han Tao was doing this on purpose, she could only admit defeat at this point, since she was no match for her son-in-law in terms of strategy.

Han Tao smiled slightly and handed over a shovel. Strategy?

Only someone with nothing better to do would bother with this kind of nonsense. It's not worth thinking about repeatedly; it's just a fleeting inspiration in my spare time.

"okay!"

Sensing the energy of ice and fire from the Blue Silver Eye, Han Tao raised his head and looked upwards.

This place is like an eye in an endless storm, clean, pure, and beautiful.

Dugu Bo peeked out slightly.

Standing up and looking down at everything around me, I was struck by a strange sense of loss and change.

"The miraculous herbs here"

"They were all eaten. Who has such a big appetite?"

Upon seeing the vanished immortal herb, Dugu Bo's eyes widened slightly, revealing great confusion.

"right here!"

Ye Lingling's eyes were exceptionally bright, as if they reflected the Milky Way, and she ran forward excitedly.

"You've found a good spot!" Han Tao laughed.

The location she arrived at happened to be the location of the Blue Silver Emperor, where the blue silver aura was exceptionally strong.

"what!"

Joy filled her mind, causing her cool and aloof eyebrows to curve slightly. Then, ignoring everyone's gaze, she sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

"Ye Lingling!" Ye Junlan tried to stop her daughter.

This behavior is so rude and ill-mannered; it makes me lose face.

"fine!"

Poison Douluo waved his hand, clearly not caring about these things.

The growing environment of the Blue Silver Grass greatly benefits the Nine Heart Begonia. During her short period of cultivation, Ye Lingling could feel the strength of the Nine Heart Begonia gradually increasing.

Nine-Heart Begonia, although it is already the ultimate martial soul.

However, the strength of this ultimate martial spirit comes from the inheritance of bloodline and martial spirit, and in terms of completeness and comprehensiveness, it is actually lacking.

With the influx of Blue Silver Soul Power, the Nine Heart Begonia's foundation seemed to be replenished, its soft vines swaying in the wind, its blossoms drooping gracefully.

Amidst the cool, crisp air, the pink petals stood out vividly, a gentle purple glow emanating from the buds.

"Hmm," Ye Lingling seemed to have some consideration.

His tone was flat and indifferent, as always: "The foundation of my martial spirit has been somewhat compensated."

"Some of its strength doesn't come from the soul power of the Blue Silver Grass."

Her eyes glanced at Han Tao, a hint of shy tenderness in them, before quickly turning firm:
"But what I can confirm is that the Nine Heart Begonia's foundation does not include Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda!"

The theory of martial spirit foundation was discovered by Ning Rongrong.

Soil, sunlight, and water constitute the three fundamental elements of plant martial spirit.

In addition to the three basic foundations, there are also advanced foundations of martial souls. For example, the gathering place of blue silver soul power can enhance the foundation of the Nine Heart Begonia.

"Then, what about the ocean?" Han Tao asked.

What is the foundation of a martial spirit?

Ye Junlan couldn't understand their conversation, but Dugu Bo pricked up his ears.

Although stealing other people's work was shameless, it made him feel extremely ashamed, and his face even turned red.

However, what Han Tao and Ye Lingling were discussing was so precious that even if one traveled throughout the entire Douluo Continent, it was not certain that one could learn even a fraction of it.

"The foundation of a martial spirit is part of its strength."

Ye Lingling's tone was devoid of emotion.

"By inheriting a high-level martial soul, the foundation of the martial soul may be lacking due to the influence of bloodline and innate soul power."

Her gaze flickered slightly toward Poison Douluo: "But if it evolves from weak to strong, this problem might not exist."

Han Tao interrupted her, saying, "No! That's not quite right."

"Didn't the Blue Silver Grass evolve to its current state by absorbing the power of the earth's veins to replenish its martial soul's foundation and achieve the transformation from a mid-level to a top-level martial soul?"

Upon hearing what the two said, Dugu Bo's expression suddenly froze.

He suddenly realized the problem within himself.

"The pursuit of powerful soul skills resulted in a deficiency due to insufficient foundational knowledge."

"This further amplified the effects of the herbicide!"

Simply put, there are too few snake-type spirit rings.

The potency of phosphine toxins is insufficient.
