Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 400 Hidden Rank
"Yes!"

Rongrong proudly tilted her head back.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she was the most unique existence. Other Soul Masters were either building libraries, enlightenment rooms, or the sect leader's mansion, but she was the only one who built a swing.

Perhaps only someone with such an innocent and carefree nature could live such a pleasant life during such a crisis.

"Blue Silver Domain!"

Seeing that she agreed, Han Tao began his operation.

The Blue Silver Core reappeared in his hand, and the power of origin was mobilized once again, converging upon the life of the other shore flower.

To replenish the foundation and strengthen the five dimensions, one of the best-growing spider lilies is then guided to ten thousand years.

"As for the rest of the normal cultivation, that's fine."

"The magnetic field of the Yin-Yang Well, the guidance of the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, and the enhancement of the martial soul's foundation make the cultivation speed much faster than in the outside world."

Ah Yin walked slowly towards us.

Gazing at the red spider lily, his eyes filled with disgust: "An evolution of evil methods."

"If I were the king of the race, I would not allow it to appear within the Blue Silver Clan."

She tried to persuade Han Tao and change his mind.

Han Tao stood quietly in place, clearly not caring about what she said.

"Therefore, you are not the ruler, much less the emperor."

"In the evolution of a race, there is no distinction between justice and evil; only interests and strength matter."

"Those things that can bring me value will naturally have their own space to grow, and I will give more resources to the exceptionally gifted Blue Silver Grass."

Beneath this realm, the red spider lily reaches ten thousand years.

The power of origin is brewing, and intelligence is gradually emerging; however, this still requires time and a process.

Han Tao asked, "How long does it take for a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast to temper its intelligence?"

"About a year."

"What if the source is sufficient?"

Ah Yin hesitated, "Even with a perfect foundation, abundant origin, and bloodline guidance, it still takes a month to temper one's intelligence."

Hmm, one month!

Han Tao nodded slightly; this timeframe was acceptable.

Star Forest.

The fog precedes the long, rainy night.

Tang San and Tang Chen walked along a forest path, their soul power and aura pressing down on them, dispelling the heavy mist.

"grandfather."

"Since your aura can dispel the thick fog, can it also dispel the poisonous barrier of Sunset Forest?"

"As long as we can break through the poison barrier, we can smash through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and avenge my father, Tang Hao!"

Tang Chen paused abruptly, then nodded with a hint of confidence: "Okay!"

"The strength of a peerless Douluo is unimaginable to ordinary people. Many difficulties seem insignificant in the face of absolute power, however..."

The conversation took a turn at this point.

"Just recently, I investigated Han Tao of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and also investigated the distribution of power on the Douluo Continent."

"Han Tao is a flexible and cautious person. If I forcefully break through the poison barrier of Sunset Forest, Han Tao will also lead the core members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to retreat underground."

“They may even use the poisonous barriers and terrain to threaten our safety.”

The god-level Azure Phosphorus Poison Barrier poses a great threat to Peerless Douluo.

And this is only one of the factors.

“Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall has already inherited the Rakshasa Godhood, and she wants to unify the Douluo Continent.”

"Even if Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, two peerless Douluo, joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for me. But if she breaks through to the Rakshasa God realm, it will be difficult to deal with her."

Tang San was taken aback: "Is it just difficult to deal with?"

This is a deity! How could my grandfather speak of it so easily?

"Yes!" Tang Chen was clearly very confident.

"If it were a veteran Rakshasa God, I might only be able to run away with my tail between my legs, but if it were just Bibi Dong who has just broken through, I would have the ability to put up a fight."

He patted his great-grandson's hair and smiled reassuringly.

"Alright, Tang San, you haven't absorbed the fifth spirit ring of your Clear Sky Hammer yet, have you?"

"No." "Grandfather, what kind of spirit ring should I choose? Should I still choose the Human-Faced Demon Spider?"

Tang Chen glanced at him in surprise: "Human-faced Demon Spider, how could you have such an idea?"

"This is what the master taught me."

"Grandmaster?"

Some people in Bengbu smiled and said, "Are you talking about Yu Xiaogang, who couldn't break through to the Great Soul Master level even after a lifetime of effort?"

Seeing Tang San remain silent, one can't help but doubt the great-grandson's judgment, as well as his strength and character.

However, he temporarily lost interest in joking and gradually began to introduce the topic.

"On the Douluo Continent, there are all kinds of soul beasts, which are very diverse and wonderful, but there are always a few soul beasts that can bring very special effects to soul masters."

"Special effects?" Tang San asked, puzzled.

Tang Chen nodded: "Every time a Soul Master breaks through a level, their physique, soul power, and mental power will all grow."

"The amount of level growth is not fixed; it depends on two factors: the strength of the martial soul and the rank of the soul master."

"what?"

This is the first time I've heard this kind of information.

Yu Xiaogang had never told himself this level of theory.

Withdrawing his imposing aura and letting the raindrops drift in the wind, Tang Chen's tone was exceptionally firm.

"Simply put, each level of your growth is equivalent to: Strength * Rank."

"The higher the strength of the martial spirit, the more solid the foundation, and the stronger the combat power. The same applies to the rank."

Tang Chen didn't know about Guzhu or the extra growth base. Unless the Clear Sky Hammer had some serious problem, he wouldn't have tried to absorb such a bizarre soul beast.

Q: "The Clear Sky Hammer is a top-tier martial soul, so what is a rank?"

A: "To give a simple example, level 10 is tier 1, level 20 is tier 2, level 30 is tier 3, and so on."

"Okay, here comes the important part."

Tang Chen paused.

With an exceptionally solemn expression, he read each word clearly.

"In addition, Soul Masters also have [hidden ranks]."

"Hidden rank?"

Tang San looked confused and didn't understand.

Tang Chen added slowly, "At the Soul Warrior stage, the Soul Master's rank is 0, but they can still grow with each level they break through."

"Didn't you ever think about the reason?"

Tang San smiled awkwardly, wondering how he would know such things.

They are born with full soul power and don't even have a Soul Master stage, so how can the concept of a "hidden rank" be derived?

Seeing his bewildered look, Tang Chen sighed.

He thought to himself, "The Clear Sky Sect is a bunch of useless trash. Tang Hao is half useless, and Tang San is a complete waste."

But he was his great-grandson after all, so what could he do but tell the truth?

"Due to the awakening of the Martial Soul, the hidden rank has increased by 1."

"After a Soul Master breaks through to Soul Saint and masters the True Form of their Martial Soul, their hidden rank will increase by 1 again."

Hearing this, Tang San became somewhat excited.

They even leaped up, their eyes revealing hope, longing, and expectation.

"Could it be."

"Is there a way to allow me to obtain my Martial Soul True Form ahead of time?"

"No!" The tone was firm.

His great-grandson is neither very capable nor very good-natured, yet he has such high hopes.

He had already made up his mind that after telling his great-grandson the truth, he would have repaid the kindness of the Haotian Sect.

I'm not going to bother with him anymore. Go find your Yu Xiaogang.
"Besides the Martial Soul True Body, there is also an extremely special Soul Skill that can increase a Soul Master's hidden rank."

Tang San asked curiously, "What kind of soul skill?"

"Martial Soul Clone!"
