Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 256 Principles of Cyclone Formation
Have you opened up your eight extraordinary meridians?

Han Tao asked curiously.

The secret technique of "Connecting Heaven and Earth" requires opening up the Ren and Du meridians, making the whole body a unified whole.

Ning Rongrong did not have the Spirit Hall's meditation method, but she had consumed "Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle," which inherently possessed the effect of opening up the eight extraordinary meridians.

Although Ye Lingling knew about this secret technique, she couldn't use it because of her eight extraordinary meridians, but she didn't lack mana.

"Not all of them have been connected," Dugu Bo replied truthfully.

"But I have already opened up the twelve main channels. After all, I am a retainer of the Heaven Dou Empire, so I still know what the Heaven Dou Academy teaches."

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, Poison Douluo quickly offered an explanation, which only made Ye Lingling laugh.

"Hmph!" Dugu Bo retorted, unconvinced.

“These are not problems. As long as I know where the eight extraordinary meridians are, I can open them all in less than half a day.”

The eight extraordinary meridians are difficult for ordinary soul masters to open up.

However, this is not a problem for Title Douluos, especially for Soul Masters like Dugu Bo who have mastered the transformation of body energy. Opening up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians is as easy as eating and drinking.

"In that case."

Han Tao waved his hand, using a soundproofing technique to eliminate Ye Junlan who was not far away.

Then he took out the Spirit Hall's "Meditation Method" and handed it to Dugu Bo and Ye Lingling:
"The meditation method from the Spirit Hall involves the eight extraordinary meridians of a Soul Master's cultivation."

Ye Lingling took it and examined it carefully.

"Written by Chrysanthemum Douluo?" Dugu Bo looked indignant: "Han Tao, don't you know that he and I are mortal enemies?"

She turned her head away haughtily and said, "I won't look at his theories!"

Seeing his expression, Ye Lingling teased him slightly: "It's precisely because of your arrogance that your theoretical research is inferior to his!"

The comparison involving this old enemy, especially Ye Lingling's contempt, made him lose face.

Dugu Bo retorted, "I'm inferior to him? How could I possibly be inferior to him?"

"I comprehended the Danzhu myself, and I evolved the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King!"

"Ha!" Han Tao continued to mock.

"Do you know that Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul is already the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, an ultimate martial soul, which is a level stronger than your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor!"

"The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum?"

"Ultimate Martial Soul? What is an Ultimate Martial Soul?"

A series of questions arose in his mind.

Poison Douluo actually knew that there were differences in the strength of martial souls, but he was unaware of the 0.1 difference in the growth base.

Therefore, it was even less likely that he would know that his old rival had surpassed him in terms of martial spirit strength.

Ye Lingling's calm and collected introduction: "The ultimate martial soul is a type that is stronger than the top-tier martial soul."

As she spoke, Dugu Bo's face visibly darkened. He finally took the book from Han Tao's hands and remained silent.

The Eight Extraordinary Meridians

"Can you enhance my martial soul to its maximum potential?" he asked again.

Han Tao rolled his eyes: "You're dreaming!"

"The difference in martial spirit is earth-shattering, especially for those of us who do not have bloodline and need to grow after birth. Every leap in level is extremely difficult."

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore."

To draw upon the world's soul power to create a soul power vortex, one needs the secret technique of "Connecting Heaven and Earth," which requires opening up the eight extraordinary meridians.

Han Tao was willing to give him these things primarily for his own research.

At times like these, the more you try to protect your possessions, the less you'll achieve.

The power of the earth's veins. Under the effect of resonance, Dugu Bo and Ye Lingling's eight extraordinary meridians were suddenly connected.

Impurities in capillaries, the twelve regular meridians, the eight extraordinary meridians, and acupoints are crushed and eliminated under the effect of resonance.

Ye Lingling looked surprised: "This?"

"Does mastering resonance mean that a Soul Master naturally possesses the power to open up meridians and has mastered the power of the non-toxic version of the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle Herb?"

Han Tao laughed heartily: "Yes!"

"However, to drive resonance, the Soul Master needs to master microscopic power, otherwise it will damage the meridians and body."

"I'm not afraid!" Ye Lingling chuckled.

The nine-hearted begonia is like a wisp of smoke, or a white veil that seems dreamlike, shining itself amidst the starlight.

Damage to the meridians at the microscopic level is gradually repaired under this healing power.

Poison Douluo asked curiously, "How can one master resonance?"

"Help me figure out the soul power vortex, and I'll tell you."

Han Tao threw out a bait.

I certainly don't lack soul power; with my boundless soul power, I don't need it at all. But I'm extremely lacking in innate soul power!

Just recently.
When Ye Junlan was treating Tang San, she sensed the third spirit ring on Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer.

"Innate Soul Ring!"

"When a spirit ring's essence is completely absorbed by a spirit beast of the same kind, a congenital spirit ring can be born under a certain specific power."

Although Tang San lost his innate soul power, he created an innate soul ring.

Han Tao couldn't help but marvel at how powerful the influence of good fortune was.

Origin Soul Ring, Origin Soul Bone, Innate Soul Ring—things that sound very important, Han Tao naturally wanted to explore.

"Disturbance!"

Because the test was conducted outside the body, even if something went wrong, it wouldn't have any consequences. Furthermore, the [Heaven and Earth Piercing] secret technique provided unparalleled world soul power, thus fulfilling all the prerequisites for the research.

With the mental power of a Title Douluo, he fully mobilized the world's soul power to swirl, aiming to create the soul power vortex that Han Tao envisioned.

Once, twice, three times.
As the experiment progressed, Dugu Bo felt that he was becoming more and more proficient in using his mental power, but the cyclone would always fail by a hair's breadth.

Dugu Bo didn't understand what a comparative experiment was, and his soul power manipulation was extremely crude. He didn't understand or comprehend any of that nonsense about the microscopic.

Han Tao, upon seeing his experimental methods, immediately labeled him a reckless fool.

The success of doing things this way depends entirely on luck!

"Damn it, can we do a comparative experiment?" Han Tao demanded.

Poison Douluo asked in confusion, "Huh?"

"By comparing the effects of using the same amount of soul power at different levels of mental power to generate cyclones, we can study the influence of 'soul power' on cyclone generation."

"In this way, we test the influence of mental strength, geography, and external elements on cyclone formation."

Poison Douluo was stunned again. It was the first time he had realized that there were so many intricacies in theoretical research.
As the experiment progressed...
The factors that contribute to cyclone formation are gradually revealed.

"First and foremost, the temperature!"

Tornadoes are formed due to temperature differences between the upper and lower parts of a space and the instability of airflow; the same applies to cyclones.

"Secondly, clockwise and counterclockwise!"

Poison Douluo could clearly feel that the difficulty of generating a vortex when it rotates clockwise is far greater than when it rotates counterclockwise. He truly couldn't understand how such a strange phenomenon could occur.

Even more incomprehensible, how could Han Tao know about such a weird thing?
