Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 308 Revisiting the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

In the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuqing had little say, and in the small place of Shrek Academy, she had little say either.

"Why is this happening?"

Zhu Zhuqing's face was trembling with tears.

“Because of weakness!” Davis sneered. “The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, weakness is the original sin.”

Han Tao waved his hand: "Damn it."

"It's not like I'm going to kill you. I just want you to help me cultivate a plant-type soul beast. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Davis's expression froze: "That's it?"

“I can cultivate plant-based spirit beasts too, so why don’t you ask me?”

Davis glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's alluring figure, then looked at Han Tao with suspicion, indicating that he did not believe any of Han Tao's nonsense.

Han Tao smiled wryly: "You're not good enough!"

"The secret realm of the Star Luo Empire can allow Evil Eye Soul Beasts to evolve a thousand times, and I also know of a place that can allow Plant Soul Beasts to evolve a thousand times."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded: "Why does it have to be me?"

“Actually, Oscar and Ma Hongjun would also work, but they are hostile to me, and I don’t know how to control them.”

“You were born in the Star Luo Empire and obey the Empire’s orders, which makes me less worried.”

Han Tao spoke calmly, emphasizing the greater good.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is not only the location for cultivating the Lone Bamboo, but also the place where the Blue Silver Grass evolves.

If the Soul Master who cultivates Guzhu suddenly went mad and recklessly destroyed his own Blue Silver Grass, that would be absolutely disgusting.

"Why does it have to be me, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar? Why can't it be other Soul Masters?"

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated. Although she had no right to choose, seeing that Han Tao seemed easy to talk to, she couldn't help but want to ask for clarification.

“Exactly!” Davis agreed.

"Because of luck."

Han Tao took a deep breath: "The data on the world's thousands of soul masters is inseparable from the statistical surveys conducted by dedicated individuals. It shows how rare it is to find someone with innate full soul power on the entire Douluo Continent."

"How precious are twin martial souls, and how rare is the transformation of a soul beast into human form."

"Yet so many talents, which are called spoiled, are concentrated in a small, dilapidated academy."

Davis scoffed: "Genius? Does Dai Mubai even deserve that title?"

“Dai Mubai is using the Evil Eye White Tiger buff system.”

"If I hadn't reminded you, even if you and he had both broken through to the Title Douluo level, he could have easily defeated three of you."

Davis looked embarrassed because once Han Tao mentioned data, it entered his theoretical blind spot.

Zhu Zhuqing looked puzzled: "What enhancement system?"

He shook his head, ultimately offering no answer.

Eyes of ice and fire.

Led by Han Tao, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuxuan traversed the pitch-black tunnel and finally arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

"arrive!"

Han Tao dug into the soil and smiled slightly.

Zhu Zhuqing looked inexplicably shocked; the ecology here was unbelievably perfect.

"Is this the secret realm you spoke of?"

"Okay!" Han Tao nodded.

He took out a bamboo stalk from the soul tool.

"The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire allows plants to evolve at a speed of hundreds or thousands of times, while the inner side is at a speed of thousands of times."

"However, plants that are less than a thousand years old cannot withstand the magnetic field of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire."

The gaze shifted from Zhu Zhuqing to her younger sister:

"The fluorescent cat can heal soul beasts and soul masters, and with your microscopic healing, Guzhu can bear the growth pressure of the inner layer of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."

Zhu Zhuxuan nodded gently: "Mm!"

"And then?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with a hint of curiosity. "What do you need me to do?"

Han Tao crouched down slightly, dug into the soil, and planted the bamboo in the inner layer.

"With an evolution rate a thousand times faster, it only takes a month to grow into a hundred-year-old soul beast."

"I need you in Guzhu, just before the breakthrough of a hundred years ago, to kill it!"

Zhu Zhuqing asked with a hint of doubt, "It's that simple?"

"Of course!" Han Tao smiled with relief. "I need Gu Zhu's soul bone." "Because you are burdened with destiny, only you can hunt it, and it must be hunted by you. That is why I asked you to come here."

"Why not plant more to increase the probability?" Zhu Zhuxuan asked.

Han Tao sighed: "Because of the unique growth mechanism of the solitary bamboo."

"As the name suggests, only one bamboo can grow in such a large area."

"Alone and solitary, yet facing the sun!"

Zhu Zhuqing took two steps forward and gently touched the emerald green bamboo, a few thoughts rising in her mind.

"Han Tao, can you tell me why you want Gu Zhu's soul bone?"

"Is a century-old soul bone that important to you?"

Han Tao even paused and said in a serious tone: "Very important, extremely important!"

"The benefits that the Guzhu Soul Bone can bring to a Soul Master are comparable to those of a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone."

"A hundred thousand year soul bone?"

Han Tao chuckled casually, rattling off the data with ease: "A 100,000-year-old soul bone can provide a soul master with over 50 points of physique, increasing with age."

"And the Guzhu Soul Bone can bring a growth base of 0.1-0.2."

"A Soul Master can gain 55 or 110 points of Physique by breaking through from level 0 to level 100."

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned: "So."

"No wonder you're so powerful, it's because you absorbed Gu Zhu's soul bone?"

Whether in the Soul Master Competition or at Shrek Academy, Han Tao's performance was astonishing.

Zhu Zhuqing had witnessed the geniuses of the Star Luo Empire and watched the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, but compared to Han Tao, such geniuses seemed insignificant.

Han Tao smiled dismissively: "Of course not!"

"But I will let others absorb the soul bone and use the [microstructure] theory to simultaneously obtain additional growth potential."

Desiring both the additional growth base value and the physical enhancement brought by high-quality soul bones is greed that lies beneath the surface of theoretical depth.

"Utilizing theory."

Soul Masters who emerge from the wilderness are usually ignorant of theory.

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated: "But...is theory really useful?"

What made you say such a thing?

Han Tao glanced back.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly laughed out loud: "Because of the master, he has always been boasting about his own theories, saying that he is the great man of the entire Douluo Continent era."

"Pfft!" Han Tao couldn't help but laugh: "There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters?"

"It is rare to be able to criticize oneself twice in one sentence, even in the context of the entire era."

Her younger sister, Zhu Zhuxuan, stood in front of her, dissatisfied, and said in a childish voice, "Theory is very useful!"

"Xuan, why?"

Zhu Zhuxuan said coquettishly, "Han Tao once came to the Star Luo Empire. He was able to seal other people's soul power and even seriously injure His Majesty. This was based on the application of theory."

"I really wanted to learn his theories, but Xu Tianhui wouldn't let me!"

Han Tao smiled and patted her head.

"Zhu Zhuxuan, you can study it yourself."

"Once you've achieved your research results, you can come to me and exchange them for theories of equal value!"

Knowledge and theories are refined through repeated exchanges.

Therefore, Han Tao rarely kept anything from them, and even told the two of them the value of the Guzhu Soul Bone for free.

"Hmm?" Zhu Zhuqing looked up. "Wait, did you just say that His Majesty was seriously injured?"

"If I remember correctly, the Star Luo Emperor is a level 94 Title Douluo, right? Han Tao is only level 60, how could he possibly harm His Majesty?"

His tone was skeptical, because his sister's explanation was simply illogical.

Zhu Zhuxuan: "Of course!"

"If it weren't for my timely treatment, His Majesty might already be dead!"

As the two were talking, Han Tao squatted down slightly and stared at the gold, silver and blue grass leaves next to him.

Rain, dew, water droplets, and wind ripple across the blue silver grass.

"This is not Blue Silver Grass."

Han Tao stared at it, feeling the pressure of its bloodline emanating from its body: "Blue Silver Emperor!"
