Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 417 "Nine Leaves": Seeking Truth in the Past

"Ning Rongrong's voice?"

There wasn't even time to think about it.

By a hair's breadth, he narrowly escaped the sharp claws of the Dark Demon God Tiger.

He shifted his body again to avoid its next attack, his brows furrowed in deep concern.

"This is an arena of life and death."

"On this battlefield, there is no time to waste."

Looking around, the sealed-off space resembled a competition arena, with thick black mist shrouding every corner of the space.

According to the rules of the arena, only the victors survive.

"That's wrong!"

Han Tao looked somber.

"It must have fought with the Titan Ape, and since neither of them died, we can deduce that..."

"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, can actively deactivate its soul skill."

Time, measured by the enemy's offensive scale, is vast and boundless.

Han Tao is adapting to his past, to his childhood self when he was weak, his clumsy body, and his feeble soul power.

Although it features the ultimate operation of "microscopic control" and "soul power synergy", the mechanism requires numerical support.

"Illusionary Realm is unavailable!"

"The Shen Ting acupoint is based on the theory of acupoints on the eight extraordinary meridians!"

"Spatial illusions require soul bone techniques to activate, and I don't have any of those right now!"

Thinking it over, Han Tao suddenly raised his hand: "Blue Silver Grass!"

[Blue Silver Grass, base growth value: 0.3]

Seeing such a powerful martial spirit, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger suddenly let out a cold laugh, confidence shining in its eyes and standing tall in its chest.

"Han Tao, you don't expect to defeat me with such a useless martial spirit, do you?"

A mocking smile played on his lips, yet his movements never faltered as he dodged the next slash.

Han Tao used the Distraction Control Technique to manipulate his soul power to dodge, while simultaneously reversing his martial soul.

"Comprehend the essence of the martial soul, merge with the martial soul body, and take control of the martial soul's origin!"

"Although the source of my martial soul is extremely limited at this time, I can still construct the earth tentacles."

Guided by Han Tao's will, the Blue Silver Grass changed at an extremely rapid pace.

In the midst of the evasion, the tendrils extending into the earth's veins were completed, and the blue silver essence was completely exhausted.

"And then?" it sneered.

Light blade!

One of its soul skills.

Suddenly, 11 black, sharp beams swept towards Han Tao, and this time, Han Tao had no way to dodge them.

"puff!"

After collapsing to the ground, Han Tao coughed up blood.

There were clear gashes on his chest and shoulders, but to its surprise, Han Tao showed no sign of tension, and his eyes flashed with confidence in the current situation.

The weak and feeble Blue Silver Grass revealed granite clumps and golden veins.

It asked, "What is this?"

"Please, listen to the vibrations!"

He smiled leisurely.

Resonance at the same frequency instantly connected all eight extraordinary meridians, turning impurities within the meridians into dust.

The Spirit Hall's Great Circulation Meditation Technique began to operate, and the extended soul power surged in all directions towards the "Divine Court Acupoint," "Heavenly Connection Acupoint," "Yongquan Acupoint," and "Sea of ​​Qi Acupoint."

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
With the activation of the Heaven-Piercing and Earth-Connecting Secret Technique, Han Tao's soul power was no longer a limitation; the Divine Court acupoints were activated, and a mental illusion was woven together.

The Dark Demon Tiger, who had been in control of the situation, suddenly looked blank, for it had fallen into the projection of the illusion.

"Ah!"

He let out a heavy sigh.

Han Tao activated his first soul skill, "Fluorescence," to heal the injuries caused by the shockwave and the light blade.

"Now, I finally have time to have some fun with you!"

"Finally, I have time to consider Ning Rongrong's situation."

Han Tao turned the soul tool.

Beneath the arena of life and death, everything returned to the past, including this soul tool.

"I asked my master for this soul tool?"

"And Ning Rongrong's voice is from her experience when she was 12 years old? That's why she mistook me for Ning Fengzhi?"

The Immortal Herb incident occurred at this point in time, and Ning Rongrong happened to arrive at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

By an incredible coincidence, fates converged in sequence.

Han Tao turned on his soul tool, mimicking Ning Fengzhi's voice, and suddenly asked, "Rongrong, are you at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?" *Sizzle*
After a long while, another voice came from the other side: "Yes, Father, there are many immortal herbs here at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"

"Wait, don't eat yet!" Han Tao said quickly.

Nine-grade purple ganoderma has the structure of nine leaves found in plants.

The eight-petaled fairy orchid possesses the ultimate petal structure that is most lacking in the world.

“This is an opportunity!”

"Using the Dark Demon God Tiger's Arena of Life and Death, we will return to the past to pursue the truth."

But the problem is
How can I perceive the structure of these magical herbs?

Han Tao fell into thought
At this point in time, Ning Rongrong's theories were still immature, and it was clearly impossible for her to verbally explain them to herself.

To dissect the structure of immortal herbs, one needs powerful perception and an absolute understanding of plant martial souls; these are essential objective conditions.

"Um"

"Um"

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong, who was outside of time and space, once again expressed her doubts: "Father, I've found the Qiluo Tulip!"

"As long as I eat it, my martial soul will evolve!"

Han Tao refused again: "Rongrong, don't rush!"

Suddenly, the porcelain vase at Han Tao's waist appeared before his eyes.

"This is."

"Lovesickness is red?"

"The mixture of 'Heartbreak Red' and 'Immortal Herb' has not been diminished by the power of time?"

"Oh, that's right. The Acacia Heartbreak Red is a divine herb, so it's not afraid of the power of time."

At this moment, the Dark Demon God Tiger was still immersed in the illusion.

In the illusory world, the Dark Demon God Tiger roams in the wonderful future, having already killed Han Tao. He returns to the real world, preparing to kill Sword Douluo again, only to find that Han Tao is incredibly fast and he can't catch up with him no matter what.

After much deliberation.

Han Tao turned on his soul tool: "Rongrong, pick up the Acacia Heartbreak Red!"

Outside the arena of life and death.

Ning Rongrong's petite face was full of confusion.

She rarely heeded her father's advice and picked a bright red blade of grass from the black stone.

"and then?"

Han Tao paused for a moment, then took out the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red from the porcelain bottle as well.

This is just a guess, and now I need to confirm it.

—The "Red of Broken Hearts" is a crabapple blossom, a divine crabapple blossom.

—The Heartbreak Red Acacia can replace the Nine-Hearted Begonia to complete the fusion of the Blue Silver Grass and the Glazed Tile Pagoda's martial souls.
Ning Rongrong and Han Tao, in different times and spaces, both hold the same acacia flower in their hands.

"Rongrong, try fusing your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda with the Lovesick Heartbreak Red Spirit!"

After speaking, Han Tao guided the illusion, and the Acacia Heartbreak Red transformed into a vibrant, fiery red.

Using the divine-grade Acacia Heartbreak Red as a catalyst, two pieces of Blue Silver Grass and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda from different times and spaces were combined to complete a magnificent fusion of martial souls.

Ning Rongrong's petite face was rosy and very cute.

"what?"

"The Love-Sickness Red can be fused with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? Father, you never told me this before?"

Han Tao remained silent.

[Soul Fusion Complete]

Using the perception gained from the fusion of martial souls, he clearly perceived Ning Rongrong's current situation.

They could also clearly see the many immortal herbs nurtured within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, including the Qiluo Tulip that Ning Rongrong had been longing for.

And the "Nine-Leaf Purple Ganoderma" and the "Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid" that he wanted to obtain.

"So this is the nine-leaf structure!"

"The ultimate eight-petaled orchid is arranged in a positive orientation with eight sides."

The answer is obvious.

Evolution is within reach.

All Han Tao needs to do is leave here to transform the Blue Silver Emperor into nine leaves. However, in this arena of life and death, the Blue Silver essence has been exhausted and is insufficient to allow the Blue Silver Grass to evolve.

Thinking this, Han Tao waved his hand to signal.

The Pharmacopoeia, which had been plundered from Tang San, suddenly surfaced in his mind from his memories.

Yang Wudi's pharmacology, Tang San's "Pharmacopoeia", and the exchange with Chrysanthemum Douluo all contributed to Ning Rongrong's past and present moment.

"The immortal herb is a great medicine, but great medicines are also highly poisonous!"

"An ordinary Soul Master can only process one immortal herb in his lifetime, and the consumption of multiple immortal herbs is extremely demanding."
