Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 318 Global Optimal Solution
"Can external soul bones improve racial talents?"

This strange concept, uttered by Rongrong, resonated in Han Tao's mind.

After considering it for a while.

"Perhaps this is the truth."

"Unfortunately, there aren't that many external soul bones in this world."

"A conclusion that has not been verified by practice, no matter how close it is to the truth, can only be considered a guess."

Han Tao is ultimately not Yu Xiaogang.

Han Tao would not treat highly probable guesses as immutable theorems.

Following Ning Rongrong's line of thought, Ye Lingling felt a strange interest stirring within her.

He immediately asked, "Han Tao, is your brow bone also an external soul bone?"

"External soul bones that primarily amplify spiritual power are quite different from the Eight Spider Lances."

"Therefore, I speculate that a Soul Master may be able to absorb two external Soul Bones, one to reverse the talent of mental power, and the other to modify the aptitude of physical body."

Han Tao lowered his gaze: "Perhaps."

"However, I can tell you some good news: within the Star Luo Empire's secret realm, there is still an Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler."

"As long as you actively guide your spirit to generate an external soul bone in the center of your forehead, you will most likely obtain the same external soul bone."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two women showed expressions of surprise.

"really?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes gleamed with greed: "You've come at the perfect time. I'm about to break through to level 70."

"Han Tao, didn't you want a mental boost? This Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord is a well-deserved gift that fate has given to you and me."

"But..." Ye Lingling's face was full of struggle.

"Relax."

Extending her fair, jade-like hands, she gently shook Ye Lingling's delicate body: "Don't worry, give me this soul beast, and I'll compensate you."

"Open champagne at halftime?" Han Tao chuckled. "Didn't you guys even consider that we might not be able to defeat the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord?"

"And even if you could win, what makes you think you can absorb a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone?"

Flander asked with a hint of curiosity, "Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the top three sects, with two Title Douluos. Are you afraid you can't defeat a soul beast?"

“Exactly!” Ning Rongrong chimed in, “Grandpa Sword isn’t afraid of it.”

Han Tao sighed: "Sigh."

"In fact, even if I, my master, Sword Douluo, and Star Luo Emperor were all combined, we still couldn't defeat the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler."

“Are you the weakness?” Flanders asked.

Han Tao gave a soft "humph".

If it weren't for the illusion he controlled, Ning Fengzhi would have been dead.

Ning Rongrong picked up a soul beast encyclopedia and searched for information about the Evil Eye Clan, but found no cases in the entire book.

She asked, "No?"

Han Tao laughed and said, "After all, it is a product of the Star Luo Secret Realm, so it is not surprising that it is not listed in the Soul Beast Encyclopedia."

Afterwards, the three discussed it again and decided to temporarily put aside their idea of ​​hunting down the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord.

"A Soul Master's spiritual power can guide the formation of Soul Bones."

This is the conclusion, and also the most valuable essence.

However, Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling are different from the Star Luo Emperor. They don't care about theories and answers, but want to trace the process by which the theories were derived.

"Could you tell us the complete research timeline?"

Han Tao nodded: "In the Douluo Continent, there is a generally accepted common sense that a 100,000-year-old soul beast will definitely drop a soul bone, and it will definitely drop a part that a soul master does not have."

"This means," Ye Lingling pondered for a while, "that when a soul beast breaks through 100,000 years in the process of evolution, it meets certain conditions and can therefore generate a soul bone."

"And the second part can lead to the deduction of your theory."

Ning Rongrong's dimples appeared subtly on her face: "Under normal circumstances, only a Title Douluo can kill a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

"The perception of a Title Douluo undergoes a transformation, and his incomparably powerful spiritual energy guides the formation of his soul bone."

"Indeed!" Han Tao nodded.

"In addition to the six common soul bones, there are also external soul bones."

"External soul bones are mostly claws, tails, and wings, and the space between the eyebrows and eyes is also a type. As we kill soul beasts and absorb their soul rings, we can drive our spiritual power to actively draw towards these parts, which may give birth to external soul bones."

"What a precious theory!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed. Then she glanced at Flander and said, "You've struck gold. Yu Xiaogang could never come up with a theory like this even if he studied it his whole life."

Dean Flanders stammered, "Absolutely!"

Looking at him again, Han Tao activated the mind connection of his skull and the Illusionary Space, and briefly read his thoughts.

"Um"

"I didn't have any other thoughts."

Han Tao activated the soul tool.

He retrieved the secret technique from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan: [Dragon Transformation]

He handed it to Flander.

"This is a secret technique of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, and your bloodline happens to be that of the Golden Sacred Dragon."

"With the help of this secret method, it may be possible to improve one's racial talent and gain additional physical attributes."

Ye Lingling gazed silently at Flander with a smile on her face.

One can't help but marvel at how well Han Tao's guinea pigs are treated.

"Remember to keep this a secret!" Ning Rongrong pretended to be fierce and glared at him. "If the news gets out, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might be fine, but you'll be in big trouble!"

Flanders took it and turned a couple of pages.

Joy once again rippled across his lips.

He said with utmost sincerity, "Thank you!"

"Please rest assured, not a single word of the secret technique will be transmitted."

He pointed two fingers diagonally to his forehead, making a vow: "Flanders will keep his promise, otherwise..."

Waiting for Flanders to leave.
Ning Rongrong's eyes flickered, seemingly filled with some curiosity.

"Han Tao, I don't understand."

"Huh?" Han Tao asked back.

Why would you so easily impart the theories you painstakingly researched to outsiders?

"Feng Xiaotian is like this, Chrysanthemum Douluo is like this, Dugu Bo is like this, and this Flander is like this too?"

A deep sense of doubt surged within Ning Rongrong's heart.

Han Tao hesitated for a long time before replying, "Hmm."

He ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
"Perhaps, in your eyes, I'm the one who loses out in every exchange?"

"Does it make me seem overly 'generous,' as if I don't take my own theories seriously at all?"

Ye Lingling nodded gently.

Her white dress hugged her soft curves, and her beautiful eyes were misty with tears.

Slightly curious, slightly flustered: "Why?"

Han Tao chuckled softly, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

“We suffered no loss during the theoretical exchange.”

"I prefer to have a sufficient number of exchanges, and to exchange ideas with more theoretical researchers, rather than to gain more benefits from a single exchange."

“Once they’ve tasted the sweetness of success, they’ll naturally be willing to make the next deal with me.”

Dugu Bo, Feng Xiaotian, Qian Renxue, and Ju Douluo flashed through Han Tao's memory one by one.

"Under this rule, even if I suffer losses in every theoretical discussion, I am still the biggest beneficiary."

The local optimum is not the global optimum.

Ning Rongrong was stunned: "That's a way of putting it."

"That's completely different from Father's way of thinking!"

In comparison, Ning Fengzhi was much more stingy.

Thinking about taking advantage in every exchange, this greedy mentality actually hinders the expansion of the theory.

"Of course, that's not the most important thing."

Han Tao's gaze swept over the two of them, and he said in a gentle tone, "The key is that every theoretical conclusion we make will be simultaneously applied to the other two people."

"This theoretical synchronization is a gradual process of becoming stronger."
