Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 412 Reason
"We've analyzed Tang Chen's strength composition, but we haven't been able to find a way to counter him."

“No, no, no, no!”

"Instead of thinking about how to restrain the enemy, we should find a way to increase our own strength. When the strength reaches a certain level, any restraint will become meaningless."

Seeing everyone's dejection, Han Tao gave them a little pep talk.

After re-imprisoning the prisoners, Ye Lingling put away her martial spirit, her eyebrows curving into a crescent moon shape.

"There's been some profit to be made!"

She weighed the rotting chunks of meat in her hand with her soul power, her tone cold and aloof.

"I have to say, Tang Chen's red skin is definitely better than ours."

"Although the modification of the red muscle group is not very significant, if the whole body were to undergo a transformation, it is estimated that it could give the Soul Master 10 points of physique."

"So, Han Tao, are you willing to reform?"

Han Tao refused: "No!"

"There is still the possibility of expanding the red muscle group into a three-dimensional muscle group. It is not too late to make modifications after the theoretical breakthrough in this part."

Three-dimensional muscle groups are formed by the interweaving of blood vessels, meridians, and muscle fibers.

Meridians are integrated into the microscopic structure of muscles, which is the initial step in building three-dimensional muscle groups. However, research in this field is still in the theoretical stage and cannot be applied in practice.

“Okay!” Ye Lingling turned around.

As the conversation gradually came to an end, Sword Douluo also turned his attention away.

His expression was focused, lost in thought.

Based on Han Tao and Ning Rongrong's analytical methods, I assessed the gap in strength between myself and Gu Rong, and whether I could now surpass him by even a fraction.

“A shattered Martial Soul means that one cannot activate the True Body of the Martial Soul.”

"But I have also mastered sword intent, the 64-hit combo of sword energy, and even the overlapping of sword shadows."

In the hazy memories, inspiration echoes in the mind, stirring up ripples.

He rolled over and suddenly shouted, startling everyone.

"Bones!"

Gu Rong quickly stepped forward, frowning as he asked, "What is it?"

"Old Swordsman, don't think that just because you're seriously injured, I'll give you any leeway."

Chen Xin steered the conversation back on track: "It's serious business!"

"Gu Rong, how is your control over spatial power? Can you help me merge the sword energies?"

"Huh? You're questioning me?"

Chen Xin's voice trembled.

"What I mean is that the 64 consecutive slashes derived from the synergy of soul power can achieve overlapping sword shadows in the last 10 slashes, allowing the power of the sword energy to be superimposed."

Gu Rong countered, "And then?"

"If you use your spatial power skillfully enough to slow down my first 54 slashes within space, could you merge all 64 slashes into one?"

"This is the real 'Half a lifetime of trials and tribulations, all culminating in a single sword'!"

The ancient banyan tree's expression froze.

Although I wasn't very good at the theory, I was subtly moved by the enthusiasm on my old friend's face.

"Let's go, let's experiment!"

Slowly, the two left.

At the newly built training ground, they practiced a brand-new martial spirit fusion technique.

Haotian Sect.

"Damn it, you're trash!"

His Majesty Haotian slammed his hand on the table.

The powerful force shattered the template, and Tang Chen swept his gaze over everyone.

"Tang San, you woke me up from the City of Slaughter, and I have also done you a great favor."

"But this can't hide the negative impact you had on the battle! Because of that idiot rabbit's human form, the Titan Ape gave up chasing Han Tao, which was the root cause of our plan's failure!"

Everyone in the Haotian Sect turned their attention to this.

Upon seeing this, Tang San immediately knelt down, adopting a humble attitude.

"It was my fault!"

"If it weren't for me, Xiao Wu wouldn't have been seriously injured, and Han Tao wouldn't have been able to escape!"

The Grand Elder said coldly, "And your damn hidden weapon!"

"Its power is not weak, but why would Han Tao use it?"

"Sect Master, I have serious doubts about his stance!"

The Fourth Elder chuckled twice from the corner, then pretended to know nothing.

The Second Elder sarcastically remarked, "Even if a weak Soul Master obtains a powerful weapon, he will only become nourishment for the enemy."

After tidying up the messy books, Tang Bai stepped forward and opened a document.

The message circulated among the crowd: "The ability to destroy a Martial Soul's true form is called Soul Erosion!"

"This type of soul skill has appeared before on the Soul Master of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger."

"Oh? A member of the Star Luo Empire's royal family?" Inside the sect leader's mansion, Tang Chen took a few steps, his gaze following the window sill to the north.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "How can we counter this ability?"

"According to records, if a 100,000-year-old soul beast is forced to sacrifice itself, it will also cause soul erosion."

"The only way to stop the soul erosion is the original soul ring of 100,000 years, the will of the soul beast."

Because Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had previously forced soul beasts to sacrifice themselves, which led to serious consequences, Tang Bai, as a theoretical advisor to the Clear Sky Sect, deliberately researched this part of the information.

Tang Xiao waved his hand in dissatisfaction: "That's the same as saying nothing at all!"

"Where did the Clear Sky Hammer get its Origin Soul Ring?"

"Shut up!"

Tang Chen roared angrily.

He finally understood that Tang Xiao was also a good-for-nothing, but Tang Bai from the sect was still a formidable fighter.

Although his skills aren't great, his theory is sound.

"So, there's no way to combat the soul's corruption?"

Tang Bai: "Yes!"

"However, we can choose the secondary option!"

“Soul erosion takes time, and we can continuously replace the personnel in charge of the Haotian Formation to counter Han Tao’s methods.”

Tang Chen nodded, without suspicion: "Okay, let's do it this way!"

However, Tang Bai was not satisfied with the outcome of the meeting and suddenly raised his head.

"Your Majesty, I have a question."

"Say!"

"Since you are a peerless Douluo, why don't you take the initiative to attack Han Tao?"

Tang Chen remained silent.

Tang Xiao roared, "Insolence!"

"Who the hell do you think you are, speaking to my grandfather like that? How dare you question His Majesty Haotian's actions?"

"It's nothing!" Tang Chen waved his hand casually.

His expression became slightly more serious, and his tone became calm.

"I suffered some injuries during the battle with Sword Douluo, which has reduced my combat power."

"Of course, that's not the core reason."

"uh-huh?"

Tang San raised his head.

Everyone looked at Tang Chen with suspicion.

Tang Chen calmly recounted: "Sword Douluo used Soul Power Synergy and a 64-hit combo, and this technique was taught to him by Han Tao."

Perhaps you don't know.

With a soft sigh, he said, "Once Han Tao's Martial Soul True Body is activated, his physique and soul power are already completely comparable to Sword Douluo's."

"And if Han Tao were to unleash the same 64-hit combo, its power would be even greater than Chen Xin's."

His mind was in turmoil, and Tang Xiao stood frozen in place.

"what?"

"How can this be?"

Tang Chen did not flinch because of his own cowardice; his tone remained calm and unhurried.

"Han Tao's perception range surpasses mine. He also acquired the Blue Silver Priest's martial soul clone. I can hardly imagine the distance of the Blue Silver Domain."

"If I'm not mistaken, Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling should be outside my perception range, but within the range of the Blue Silver Domain."

"The moment I make my move will be the instant their martial souls merge."

At this point, he actually felt a little frustrated.

And a very small amount of mutual respect: "I want to kill Han Tao, and Han Tao also wants to kill me. When facing a true strongman, any arrogance is unacceptable."

Tang Xiao took a deep breath.

It's really hard to understand why this is happening.

Tang San remained silent, only muttering to himself, "Despicable villain, treacherous and cunning."

Han Tao's very existence is like a bug that violates the logic of the world.

Even so, Coco.

"Grandpa, you are also a peerless Douluo, while Han Tao has only just broken through to Soul Saint. Isn't this a bit too timid?"

"Hmph! You don't know anything!"

Upon seeing the Haotian Sect members, Tang Chen shook his head and muttered to himself: "Useless!"

How can you not understand even the simplest of principles?

"Han Tao was able to kill my grandson Tang Hao when he was a Soul Emperor. Can all of you combined defeat Tang Hao?"

"But now, he is a Soul Saint, a Soul Saint who has given birth to a Martial Soul True Body!"
