Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 430 Halo of Thorns, Entangling Wind Serpent Vine

"continue!"

They were not swayed by their brief success.

Three soul masters from the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy accompanied him, and Han Tao's mission was to help them hunt soul beasts and explore more solutions for the "Blue Silver Barrier".

"careful!"

Lin Si shouted.

Han Tao didn't care, because the arrival of the attackers was already under his powerful perception.

"A thousand-year-old Shadow Leopard?"

A slight smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

Han Tao pointed at the longbow and shot an arrow that took its life.

Then he slowly walked to the front of the spirit rings and used the sixth spirit ring, "Martial Spirit Shadow," to extract the essence of the purple spirit ring.

"Soul Master, you...you..."

Lin San stammered.

"what happened?"

"Why is your spirit ring configuration so strange?"

Han Tao's expression was calm and unrestrained: "This is what I achieved after I understood the essence of spirit rings, and through the effect of a certain key secret technique."

"Of course, these things are too far removed from your lives."

After speaking, he used his mental power to sweep around the surroundings.

A purple glow appeared in his pupils, and the light and shadow of the world unfolded before Han Tao's eyes. Soon, Han Tao found a new target.

"Let's choose this one."

Two hundred years, a halo of thorns.

The faint fragrance and beautiful glow attracted many insect-like spirit beasts, who stuck to the thorns and became nourishment for it.

Among mosquitoes is the "camouflage mosquito".

It can emit a shadowy aura, creating an effect similar to a "protective barrier" both inside and outside the halo.

"Aura, scent, drawing soul beasts like moths to a flame?"

"This is a form that I dislike, but researchers cannot make decisions based on their own preferences."

With a casual stroke of Han Tao's pen, the Halo Thorns were severely injured.

Lin San took Han Tao's long sword, cut off the thorn's body, and saw a wisp of soul ring appear above it.

"As before, I silently prayed, 'I need a protective barrier-type soul skill.'"

He sat down cross-legged and followed Han Tao's instructions.

--puff!

Suddenly, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Humph!"

Han Tao gave a soft snort.

With a raised hand, he unleashed the "Fluorescent" soul skill, along with his immense soul power and micro-management of strength, forcibly stabilizing Lin San's aura.

"This is."

Lin San raised his head in shock.

"Yes, under the fluorescent light, your meridians have been repaired, which means your cultivation talent has been enhanced."

"After all, I should give you some compensation for helping me with my experiments."

Lin Sanqian was extremely grateful for Han Tao's kindness.

Unfortunately, this exploration of the soul skill failed, since the Halo Thorns obtained its "protective barrier" in the form of a companion soul beast, and it does not possess this function itself.

"Next up, Wind-Entangling Serpent Vine."

This is a relatively high-level soul beast.

The minimum lifespan is 500 years, while the most powerful can even reach 10,000 years.

"Using vines and wind to wrap around and coil around the body, creating a protective barrier?"

Twist the quill pen and write down its relevant information.

Han Tao pondered for a moment: "Lin Wu, you cannot absorb its soul ring for the time being."

Lin Wu muttered to himself, "What should we do then?"

After hesitating for a long time, Han Tao suddenly activated an illusion, capturing Lin Wu's thoughts. "Hmm, a decent young man!"

"Compared to the potential theoretical results, I am willing to bear the necessary investment, but I don't want to raise an ungrateful child."

He turned the soul tool and took out a thousand-year-old left arm bone, the left arm bone of Blue Silver Grass, and handed it to Lin Wu.

This soul bone is the surplus Blue Silver Grass soul bone.

Having cultivated and hunted so many thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass, Han Tao had already collected all six parts of the Blue Silver Grass Soul Bone, and for the time being, he had only absorbed the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor.

As for how to transform the Blue Silver Emperor's leg bone into the Blue Silver Emperor's leg bone, Han Tao still hasn't fully grasped the evolution scheme (not the age limit) of the essence of the soul bone.

"Thank you!"

Lin Wu raised his eyes slightly.

Under the expectant gazes of his two elder brothers, he absorbed the left arm bone of the thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass, and then, under Han Tao's guidance, he acquired the thousand-year-old soul ring of the "Entangling Wind Serpent Vine".

This situation made Lin San and Lin Si quite envious.

"How is it?" Han Tao asked.

Lin Wu raised his hand, displaying his first soul skill.

"Wind entangles to protect the body!"

The body is formed by the entwining of blue silver grass and the rhythm of the wind.

"Um"

Han Tao nodded in satisfaction: "The structure is stable, and I can simulate it."

By forming a spiritual bond, he read his soul skill information and then activated the Blue Silver Domain, with the Blue Silver Domain and Wind Whisper Grass alternating within its range.

Wrapped around the body and woven with wind and rain, the [Blue Silver Protective Barrier] suddenly appears.

—Blue Silver Possession

——Blue Silver Protective Barrier
——Martial Soul True Form

It activated three states in succession.

What's truly remarkable is that the three states have different dimensions of influence, so the added value is iterated through multiplication.

For example, Han Tao's normal physique is 572.5, while it is 671.5 when he activates the Blue Silver Possession; under the Martial Soul True Body, the value increases to 1141.55.

The Blue Silver Barrier was activated again, and his physique was upgraded once more, reaching a high value of 1712.325.

"Uh"

"It has already surpassed half of Tang Chen's usual level."

Han Tao gave a wry smile and let out a long sigh.

The difference between a Peerless Douluo and a Titled Douluo is 2.5 times the difference in physique, spirit, and soul power, which is almost equivalent to the difference between a Soul Emperor and a Titled Douluo.

"Now that you have obtained the spirit rings, please leave."

"okay!"

Of the three, Lin Wu was the most satisfied.

He not only obtained a primordial soul bone, but also a thousand-year soul ring. Such a special combination is extremely rare, even on the entire Douluo Continent.

Han Tao took them back to the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy.

Principal Su greeted him expectantly: "How was it? How did it go? No major setbacks, right?"

"No!" Han Tao shook his head and chuckled.

"Perhaps you have all misunderstood my strength."

"Even the most bizarre twists and turns are nothing more than ordinary in my eyes. There are only a handful of people on the entire Douluo Continent who can pose a threat to me."

Principal Su was taken aback.

Information is limited in small cities. In the past, he had only heard bits and pieces of information, such as that Han Tao had won the championship in the National Elite Soul Master Competition.

He was completely unaware of everything that happened afterward, including the battles between the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Principal Su originally thought
The Qibao team was able to win the championship because Han Tao took advantage of Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling's popularity. Could it be because of Han Tao?

Is it because of the inherent strength of the Blue Silver Grass? That defies all common sense.
"impossible."

Han Tao chuckled softly.

He didn't explain much more, but simply revealed the youthful vigor that a young man should have.

“Principal Su, if you encounter any difficulties or enemies you cannot defeat in the future, you can use your soul tool to call me.”
