Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 260 Physical Modification

"Can a Soul Master's innate sense of crisis help them forcibly escape the illusion?"

Ye Lingling asked softly.

"Okay!" Han Tao nodded.

Inspired by "Inception," the Soul Master's superior physical abilities mean that simply bending him over won't trigger his survival instincts.

“To achieve this goal, we construct an illusion and utilize the endless fall within the space.”

Han Tao briefly explained his approach.

A slight smile played on her lips. As a healing-type Soul Master of the Nine-Hearted Begonia, due to her natural margin for error, she often experienced the instinctive triggering of physical crises.

Ye Lingling: "Do you still remember the Starry Sky Meditation Method?"

The Starry Sky Meditation Method is a secret technique that utilizes innate soul power to connect with the mind's apertures.

"Could stimulating the heart orifice with other soul powers trigger the body's instinct for danger in the same way?"

Ye Lingling is a native Soul Master of Douluo Continent, while Han Tao's thinking is partly inherited from Earth. Their completely different perceptions and inspirations collided, producing unexpected results.

"You can try it!"

Han Tao also did not believe that the solution he had discovered was the optimal one.

When she proposes a completely new approach, she doesn't cling to the old ways but immediately begins to try it out:
Soul power surged towards the Shen Ting acupoint, and the illusion unfolded as expected.

Han Tao summoned his martial soul, and the crystalline blue-silver light and the dazzling red bouquets intertwined, revealing the twin martial souls before him.

Having confirmed that he was in an illusion, Han Tao once again mobilized his Blue Silver Soul Power, channeling it towards his heart aperture using the Star Luo Meditation Method.

"call!!"

A sudden fear welled up in my heart, and an indescribable sense of life and death crisis surged into the depths of my mind.

They forcibly pulled Han Tao out of the illusion.

"How is it?" Ye Lingling asked softly.

Han Tao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, but his joy was palpable: "It's a success!"

"Compared to creating an illusion, activating bodily instincts and stimulating the mind through endless falls is undoubtedly more convenient and has a greater impact on bodily instincts."

To master the method of escaping the illusion.

For the vast majority of "illusionists," this ability is meaningless and there is no need for theoretical research.

However, Han Tao knew that the last of the nine trials of the Sea God was the trial of illusion.

The illusion created by the Sea God will not be easy to escape.

"A test of inner demons? A test of the seven emotions?"

Han Tao never believed it.

Soul Masters are selfish. Does becoming a god make them selfless?
Rather than a test of illusion, it is more like pure brainwashing, a process by which the gods imprint their mark on the soul masters.

Tang San's test of the Seven Emotions of the Sea God, Huo Yuhao's test of the Valley of Love and Destiny, and Tang Wulin's third test, "The Brand," all speak for themselves.

"I hope I'm just overthinking it!"

Han Tao sighed deeply.

Then, turning his head to catch a glimpse of the beautiful woman, he said, "Next is the third step."

"You should use the distraction control method to simultaneously control the illusion and reality. You might need to ask Ning Rongrong about this."

Ye Lingling remained expressionless upon hearing this.

Because of her fourth soul skill, Gaze, she mastered an advanced version of the Distraction Control Technique, but she was completely unaware of the basics of the Distraction Control Technique.

As for
Soul Bone Illusion, Emotional Power, Reverse Frequency of Sound
These are part of the follow-up research and development of the illusion, and are not so important at the moment, Han Tao changed the subject.

Why do wolf bandits exist in the Heaven Dou Empire?

This thing never appeared in the original work.

How could Han Tao not take such unusual signs seriously?
"Could it be... because of my influence?"

Analyzing the reasons and getting to the root of the problem may be the only answer.

Poison Douluo walked over at this moment: "Wolf Thieves, they don't seem to be born of a human and a soul beast!"

Noticing their confusion, he calmly explained, "After a soul beast transforms, it is true that it can marry and have children with humans, but the Gale Wolf is a soul beast!"

Soul beasts are not the same species as humans, so how could they possibly reproduce?
"Hmm," Ye Lingling said with slight doubt, "Is it possible that it's the result of physical body modification?"

Her words seemed to awaken Han Tao, as if the truth, shrouded in mist, had suddenly been revealed.

His Highness Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is offering the "Vast Ocean Universe Cover" as a reward, inviting healing-type Soul Masters from across the Douluo Continent to come.
Healing Soul Masters naturally possess the ability to "modify the physical body".

"Bloodline adjustment is only part of physical transformation."

Ye Lingling took out the bloodline of the "Golden Sacred Dragon" and continued speaking softly:

"Wolf bandits, these creatures that are half-human and half-soul beast, may also be the result of physical modification."

Han Tao nodded in agreement: "It's highly likely that this is the truth!"

What is physical modification?

Dugu Bo lowered his head in thought, trying to understand this simple word, while Han Tao didn't hold back either:

"A Soul Master's physical aptitude includes the improvement of bloodline power and bloodline tempering progress, but there is always a basic data that is the population size of the clan."

The size of the human population is part of its physical attributes.

Ordinary people can achieve a physical fitness level of 20-30 through exercise, stress, and medication.

Holding weapons, wearing armor, and forming a battle formation, they can indeed kill a Title Douluo.

"All right."

Poison Douluo waved his hand. It would have been better if Han Tao hadn't explained; Yan Jin's explanation was completely incomprehensible to him.

Ye Lingling's eyes gleamed: "Wolf bandits, these half-human, half-wolf beings, have changed the basic population of the human race?"

"Yes!"

"According to the middle-aged man's memory, the Wolf Thief's physical attributes were at least 100, on par with a Soul Master with a top-tier Martial Soul."

A band of 100 wolves can defeat an army of 10,000.

In the original story, the leader of the wolf bandits caused even Tang San, who was at the Soul Emperor level, to suffer a hidden loss, and his strength even forced him to a draw with the Soul Saint.

The world is not lacking in geniuses.

Han Tao sighed slightly.

Then, he and Ye Lingling arrived at the palace gate.

"Stop!" The guards stopped the two.

Han Tao took out the "Crown Prince's Token" and handed it to him: "I have come to treat Emperor Xueye on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"plz follow me!"

A eunuch behind the guard led Han Tao and Ye Lingling to a separate hall within the palace.

You may have to wait here for a while.

"Don't worry, we'll have someone arrange tea and water for you. We won't make you feel uncomfortable."

Ye Lingling lowered her head: "Is this... house arrest?"

Han Tao looked up and saw all sorts of figures inside the separate hall.

They are all mediocre people who, under the guise of treating Emperor Xueye, are plotting to seize the "Han Hai Qian Kun Zhao" (a magical shield).

With a slight sweep of his mental energy, he repeatedly scanned the crowd, trying to find the young phoenix who created the "wolf bandit".

But soon, an unexpected figure appeared before Han Tao.

"Tang San?"

With a swift and unpredictable gait, he arrived at the corner of the wall.

Dragon Needle!
The sharp, clear light pierced through the etched stone in the wall.

With a disdainful smile, he retrieved the palace layout map from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night and began searching for his next target.

"What is he doing?" Ye Lingling asked curiously.

Han Tao shook his head: "I don't know."

"But I'm certain that the Wolf Bandit wasn't created by him, and it certainly wasn't created by Yu Xiaogang; he doesn't have that ability."
