Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 378 Gift
"This is not luck!"

"It's not a coincidence, it's inevitable!"

Han Tao doesn't like to attribute other people's success to luck.

Although the power of destiny objectively exists, I prefer to deduce the logical framework under the rules of destiny.

He stated in a calm tone: "Even though the second soul ring and soul bone of Guzhu were not successful."

"You will also remain steadfast in your determination to obtain the third soul ring and soul bone of Guzhu."

"Therefore, success is an inevitable outcome."

Zhu Zhuqing smiled slightly.

She stared blankly at Han Tao, but deep in her eyes lingered helplessness and regret.

"Han Tao, let's make a deal!"

"How to say?"

“I know you have a way to obtain the extra growth base of Guzhu, and I am willing to give you this part of the soul power structure.”

Han Tao's expression hardened.

It would be best if she initiated this deal.

It is clearly reasonable to relinquish some of the fruits of one's own labor for one's own benefit.

"Hmm, what do you want?"

She summoned her martial spirit to her front and chuckled, "I know my understanding of martial spirits is far inferior to yours."

"Therefore, the best approach is for you to decide what kind of theory I should receive."

"A smart choice!" Han Tao sighed softly.

His gaze swept over Ah Yin, and his voice rose slightly.

"I am never stingy with my rewards to anyone who can bring me any benefit."

"Zhu Zhuqing, you provided me with an additional 0.4 growth base for the [Lone Bamboo Structure], and the benefit of going from 0.3 to 0.4 is no less than that of a 100,000-year-old soul bone."

He turned the soul tool and took out several research logs.

It contains unimaginably valuable knowledge and theories from the entire Douluo Continent.

"The Essence of Soul Power", "The Evolution of Martial Soul", "The Essence of Soul Rings", "Soul Power Synergy", and "Extended Applications of Dragon Transformation".
"This is."

Zhu Zhuqing's breathing became slightly rapid.

Han Tao opened a book: "Feng Xiaotian's research on 'Soul Power Synergy' means that mastering this technique means understanding the essence of action-type soul skills."

"Your first three soul skills will completely lose their luster."

He opened "The Essence of Soul Rings" again, his tone carrying a strange smile.

"This research log is built upon an advanced foundation of distraction control techniques."

"This includes the latest research progress on increasing the age of spirit rings, optimizing spirit ring structures, compiling spirit skill information, and building blank spirit rings, of course."

"This is only part of what I've researched so far, not the whole picture of spirit rings. At least I haven't covered the spirit skills of 100,000-year spirit rings or the structure of 1 million-year spirit rings."

He only gave a very brief introduction to his research field.

Han Tao smiled slightly: "You can choose one!"

"You can only choose one; you can only choose the next theory when you provide me with additional value!"

Being at the top of the theoretical hierarchy means one can act recklessly.

Zhu Zhuqing already understood.
What Han Tao wields is an unimaginable and terrifying foundation, equivalent to the entire Star Luo Empire combined.
No, more than that!

It possesses a theoretical foundation that even the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall, and the entire Douluo Continent combined have not yet grasped.

"Theory is part of strength!"

"Unlike the hard power of direct combat, the soft power that a Soul Master possesses, based on theoretical understanding, is something that is constantly manifested."

Gazing at the secret technique in Han Tao's hand, he already knew the answer in his heart.

—To use a Soul Emperor to contend with a Title Douluo?

"Behind the incomprehensible reality lies an unparalleled accumulation of knowledge and experience."

Zhu Zhuxuan strolled forward and tugged at her finger.

Her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the "Soul Power Synergy" technique; clearly, this fundamental method, which could directly increase combat power, was even more appealing to her.

"No, Xuan!"

She wasn't fooled by the superficial bait; she knew what she needed.

Undeterred, he picked up Han Tao's second diary: "Martial Soul Evolution".

"A good choice!" Han Tao nodded slightly. He opened the diary and gave a detailed account of its contents.

"The core essence of martial soul evolution can be summarized in three sentences: understand the essence of martial soul, master the origin of martial soul, and fuse with the martial soul body."

Furthermore, based on the foundation of Martial Soul evolution, the Chrysanthemum Douluo's [Approaching Evolution Law], the Nine Heart Begonia family's [Puzzle Evolution Case], and Ning Rongrong's [Martial Soul Foundation Theory] were further developed.

"For example, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, its evil-eyed spirit rings are the foundation of its martial spirit."

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent.

Take out your diary and absorb what Han Tao is saying in a way that you can understand.

She asked, "Is the Evil-Eyed White Tiger a piece of the Netherworld Cat puzzle?"

"Perhaps it is, or perhaps it isn't!"

Han Tao shook his head and sighed, "I am ultimately not a Soul Master of the Netherworld Cat, and I do not understand the essence of your Martial Soul."

"The essence of a martial spirit is something you need to explore and understand for yourself."

"Um"

After a moment, the two fell silent.

After a long pause, she asked again, "White Tiger, is it a piece of the Netherworld Cat puzzle?"

"I don't know!"

Han Tao refused again.

He wouldn't answer a single question about anything he wasn't sure about, otherwise he would be misleading people.

Han Tao looked around.

Beneath the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the vast majority of Blue Silver Grass...

"624 years, 841 years, 701 years, 691 years."

"--snort!"

Han Tao said with a hint of sarcasm, "Ah Yin, you've become quite clever!"

Ah Yin gave an awkward smile: "Of course, they were once my subjects too."

When absorbing the power of the Blue Silver Herbs, Ah Yin left them with a century's worth of original strength.

Within the inner circle of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the Blue Silver Grass evolves at a thousand times the speed, but it requires a hundred-year-old soul beast to sustain it.

It took Han Tao nearly half a year to modify his body's muscle ratio.

"Nearly 700 years"

"This saved me a year of cultivation time!"

Above the Blue Silver Overlord, the fifth soul ring has been activated.

Martial Soul Mirror: Blue Silver Emperor!

"Blue Silver Emperor, the pioneer at the bloodline level, possesses the power to promote the evolution of Blue Silver Grass?"

Han Tao looked away and asked.

Ah Yin nodded: "Mm!"

"It also requires consuming Blue Silver Essence, but it can allow a hundred Blue Silver Grass plants to evolve at twice the speed, or allow a single Blue Silver Grass plant to evolve at ten times the speed."

With a slight smile, Han Tao had made up his mind.

"In terms of benefits, the former is more beneficial to the group, but the problem is..."

"The Blue Silver Core is of great significance to the race, even more so than the evolutionary benefits of a hundred Blue Silver Grasses."

He channeled his spiritual power, scanning the numerous blue silver grasses within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, to find the highest age limit for those with exceptional talent.

Han Tao made his decision: "Accelerate the evolution!"

"In fact, the way to maximize the expected benefits is to give the entire race a speed boost and then have the Blue Silver Priest gather the essence into the Blue Silver Core."

"What a pity, Blue Silver Priest."

Blue Silver Ritual?

By gathering the blue silver essence within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and giving it to Ah Yin, it would be impossible for her to escape the handiwork of the Blue Silver Priest.

"By doing this, it's clear that it doesn't take me seriously."

Han Tao was extremely dissatisfied with it.

The accelerated evolution of the Blue Silver Emperor, the ritual guiding the flow of the origin, and the core carrying the storage of the origin—the three form a mutually supportive relationship.

"But now, two corners are missing!"
