Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 411 Tang Chen's System Disassembly

Two days and sixteen hours later.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin finally woke up slowly under everyone's careful care. He looked up and looked around, his eyes filled with a trace of confusion.

"Han Tao."

"I couldn't buy you the soul beast with shadow characteristics that you wanted."

Han Tao waved his hand and said, "It's nothing!"

"It's not necessary now. Just recently, Bone Douluo helped me hunt down a Shadow Pangolin in the Star Dou Great Forest and obtained the origin from the Shadow characteristics."

He recalled the process.

Suddenly, his finger lifted, its tip flashing with a sharp edge.

"Is this sword intent?" Ning Rongrong asked.

Sword Douluo revealed a long-lost smile and nodded gently: Yes.
"Great terrors bring great opportunities; when life hangs in the balance, the long-cherished sword intent is able to rise to its full potential."

"However, on another note, Han Tao, exchanging the 64-slash coordinated technique for Qian Daoliu wasn't a very good deal!"

"The six-winged angel is already ridiculously strong. If he were to acquire the skill of synergizing soul power, Tang Chen would probably be no match for him."

Han Tao replied calmly, "It's alright!"

"Currently, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall are in a semi-cooperative state. Even if they obtain the Soul Power Synergy and the 36 Slashes, it will not matter."

"The theory will continue to deepen, and the strength will gradually increase. I am not afraid of how powerful the future enemies are, because what I lack most now is time to grow."

Chen Xin did not refute it.

He struck a relaxed pose and removed a tiny piece of "flesh" from the soul tool.

"What is this?" Han Tao asked.

"Although I am no match for Tang Chen, the overlap of sword intent and sword shadow still caused him harm."

"And this flesh and blood is the result!"

Tang Chen's muscles are very small, about the size of a ping-pong ball.

Based on its existence, we can infer the extent of Tang Chen's injuries.

"No wonder."

This also answered Han Tao's question.

Tang Chen didn't attack him for two reasons: firstly, it might not be effective, and secondly, stimulating his physical body would worsen his injuries.

"Wait a mininute!"

Ye Lingling channeled her soul power, injecting healing light into the broken pieces of flesh.

The chunks of meat had been inside the soul tool for two days, completely losing their life force and emitting a putrid odor over time.

Ning Rongrong took two steps back in disgust; Ye Lingling's healing soul power had no effect on her.

"It is obviously dead."

"That's not true, but inanimate samples are equally meaningful."

As they were talking, they summoned a prisoner.

Ye Lingling experimented on him, using Tang Chen's muscle groups as a template to weave on the prisoner's body, observing and comparing the effects after completion.

"Hmm..." she stroked her chin, pondering as she began to narrate, "The Nine-Headed Bat is an ultimate soul beast, and Tang Chen's physique was altered by its possession."

"The main transformation is in the red muscle groups."

"Red muscle groups?"

The proportion of pink skin is an excellent characteristic of Xiaowu's Soul Beast transformation.

The red muscle group was the muscle group that Ye Lingling had previously thought was meaningless.

It can increase a Soul Master's stamina, but because she has healing abilities, she does not have a stamina deficiency and does not need this component at all.

"The dense network of blood vessels on the muscles provides an unimaginable supply of blood, but its contribution to strength is extremely limited."

Han Tao retorted: "I don't think Tang Chen is an idiot?"

"Given Tang Chen's intelligence and decision-making ability, it's impossible for him to sacrifice his strength to increase blood supply to his muscles in order to improve his endurance."

Sword Douluo, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong remained silent.

The temple elder pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened a book, his tone uncertain. "What if this muscle tissue isn't just for simply increasing endurance?"

"Or, could it enhance other aspects of a Soul Master?"

Tap your fingers gently.

Based on the available information, let's analyze the source of Tang Chen's strength.

After a long pause: "My spiritual power cannot penetrate Tang Chen's body."

“It’s a problem with the blood!” Ning Rongrong suddenly said.

"According to ancient records, the blood river in the City of Slaughter contains a kind of toxin that can corrode the soul of a Soul Master."

"Dew of the Underworld!"

Han Tao got the answer.

Yellow Spring Dew is the condensed substance of a Soul Master's soul after death.

“When the essence of the soul flows through the blood vessels and throughout the body, it can naturally block my prying eyes.”

"I understand!"

Han Tao and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance.

They smiled in succession, and under the light and shadow projected into the illusion, Tang Chen's strength was analyzed.

"Yellow Spring Dew is a slow-acting poison. Long-term consumption of Yellow Spring Dew will cause Soul Masters to become dependent on it and fall into endless manic emotions."

"At the same time, this toxin can enhance a Soul Master's mental strength."

"This poison is fused into the blood, and the nine-headed bat is not only the ultimate in bloodline, but also the controller of blood."

"As long as the toxicity of the Yellow Spring Dew does not exceed the critical value, the concerns about the toxins can be exempted by racial talent."

"The system is now complete!"

Ning Rongrong raised the corners of her mouth arrogantly, seemingly boasting about her own intelligence.

Ye Lingling's research on toxins was not thorough, so she had never heard of "Yellow Spring Dew" and had some difficulty understanding it.

So she asked Han Tao, "Could you explain in more detail?"

In a slow, deliberate tone, Han Tao recounted his story bit by bit.

"The bloodline and race of the nine-headed bats enhanced Tang Chen's physical attributes, while the control over the bloodline, combined with the 'Yellow Spring Dew,' further sublimated his spirit, and the Ring Explosion technique provided additional soul power."

"Physical strength, soul power, and spirit all leap forward in their basic strength simultaneously, without any defects."

"At the same time, the Yellow Spring Dew can enhance the effects of killing intent and killing spirit. It not only serves as the martial soul foundation of the Clear Sky Hammer, but also as the capital for advancing to the Asura God."

The Haotian Hammer is not the core of this system; the Nine-Headed Bat is.

Similar to vampires in Western culture, the essence of this soul beast lies in its control over the power of blood. When Tang Chen realized this, he deduced a vast system that put him in a dilemma.

"Your Majesty Haotian is also a leading figure of an era."

Sword Douluo suddenly sounded displeased, his tone showing dissatisfaction:
"Han Tao, why do you always boost others' morale while belittling your own?"

"Is there no flaw in what Tang Chen did?"

Han Tao nodded: "Yes, of course!"

"This system structure represents a rather extreme transformation and is not orthodox enough."

As he spoke, Han Tao paused.

The nine-headed bat usurped the nest because of the Rakshasa God's inducement. And what soul master could resist such divine influence?
"This is not a flaw in his system, but a gap in hard power."

After a moment's thought, he thought, "When Huang Quanlu exceeds the limits of the Nine-Headed Bat race, it might pose a certain threat to Tang Chen."

In the original novel, Tang Chen's death was an inevitable consequence of fate.
The nine-headed bat, carrying the stripping away of its organizational structure and bloodline, means that all 99 points of bloodline tempering and 99 points of racial talent have disappeared.

The bloodline of the Haotian Hammer was completely devoured by it, and it lost the ability to control the bloodline to suppress the poison. Meanwhile, the Yellow Spring Dew was activated by the "Snowy Swan Kiss", and the poison spread a thousand times stronger.

Ning Rongrong hesitated for a long time before suddenly speaking: "The Snow Swan Kiss might hurt him."

"With just a portion of the power of the immortal herbs, the Azure Phosphorus Poison of Sunset Forest has been enhanced to the divine level. Tang Chen must be unable to withstand it!"

Han Tao sighed regretfully.

He spread his hands and said, "I used up the Snow Swan Kiss you gave me when evolving Dark Blue Silver Grass, so I don't have any of those now."
