Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 462 The Material, Soul Totem Texture of the Scepter
The Hall of Spirits, at the center of the church.

An elegant circular dome, magnificent gilded bay windows, and murals depicting the development of the Spirit Hall era are displayed in every corner.

"arrive!"

Qiandao Liu paused in his tracks.

Ahead were two middle-aged men dressed in the Spirit Hall's standard robes and wearing light gold armor.

"Sixth and Seventh Offerings, Han Tao needs to speak with you."

Facing the Thousand Streams, the Thousand-Pound Douluo performed a respectful bow, displaying the elegant demeanor of the Spirit Hall faction.

The Demon-Slaying Douluo stood beside him, his eyes fixed on Han Tao with a strange gaze.

"Contra?"

He smiled proudly, his eyes revealing a condescending admiration.

"To be able to cultivate to the level of Soul Douluo at this age, one must have quite the talent, right?"

"Younger brother, you mustn't be rude!"

Qianjun whispered.

Unlike the titled Douluos of the Papal Palace faction, these two had been cultivating in the Elder Hall for a long time and were unaware of outside information.

Qian Daoliu shook his head and chuckled: "Do you remember the theoretical discussion conference that the Pope promoted a while ago?"

The demon-slaying demon frowned: "What do you mean?"

"The reason she convened this meeting was to find a way to counter Han Tao."

Unfortunately, she failed.

The Spirit Hall's research failed to discern the essence of "soul power frequency" and failed to achieve the equivalent effect of "soul power annihilation".

Even now, they still can't understand how Han Tao managed to do that.

"what?"

The demon looked up in horror.

As the seventh elder of the Spirit Hall, he was naturally qualified to participate in the theoretical discussion meeting, but the content of the meeting made him drowsy.

"Is it him? I don't believe it!"

Qian Daoliu chuckled lightly: "Han Tao, aren't you going to show off your skills?"

"Ok!"

Han Tao did not refuse; demonstrating his strength was a necessary step in seizing the right to speak.

The perception frequency of the Blue Silver Domain, the seventh level of the Distraction Control Method, the control frequency, Han Tao's fingers twirled, and from left to right, invisible ripples swept across the world.

The soul power of Qianjun, Jiangmo, and even Qiandaoliu were all annihilated within the scene.

There is no such thing.

Is this the significance of theory?

"Once a theory is broken through, it becomes completely illogical."

The thousand streams trembled slightly.

My emotions remained unsettled for a long time. How could Han Tao's so-called annihilation possibly work on me?

"This is unreasonable!"

"I am the Peerless Douluo! I possess the Angelic Domain!"

"How come the Great Circulation Meditation Method, which connects the eight extraordinary meridians and is constantly changing, has lost all its countermeasures?"

The Thousand Streams are difficult to understand.

The Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo immediately became humble.

Han Tao simply chuckled softly: "When the Blue Silver Overlord evolves into the Eye of the Blue Silver Overlord..."

"A deeper level of perception renders your motion frequencies ineffective."

"And once I grasped the macroscopic aspect of soul power, your innate abilities lost their ability to compete."

Han Tao firmly believes this.

Theory is a part of soft power. Although it is not as intuitive as hard power, it is also a core component of combat effectiveness.

Soul power frequency, derived from the essence of the soul power system, is an exploration of the truth of the world.

"So."

"Han Tao, what brings you here this time?" Qianjun Douluo's tone was somber.

With their soul power extinguished, even their movements became stiff, and only the special nature of "divinity" allowed them to mobilize even a fraction of their soul power.

Even so, it is still difficult to resist the annihilation of the world.

"I want to see your martial spirit."

Retaining the humility of a scholar, Han Tao softly voiced his appeal.

When it comes to the evolution of a martial soul, personal interests come first. What is this talk of posture? It's utterly laughable in Han Tao's eyes.

"It's that simple?"

"Of course!" Qianjun Douluo immediately agreed, and in the sky above, a rod-shaped device wrapped in light and shadow gradually took shape.

—The Coiled Dragon Staff!

The vast expanse of time has pulled the era back to the extremely distant Douluo Era.

A soul from ancient times, from the abyss, is revived on a staff inlaid with dragon patterns.

"The unique beast-type spirit weapon is made from the materials of the Dragon Blood Tree, the soul of the Heavenly Awakening Sacred Golden Dragon, and the totems of ancient sacrifices."

"Since we're using this as a reference..."

Han Tao lowered his head in thought.

Illusions arise and vanish endlessly in the fingers, while inspiration eagerly explores within the mind.

"The special form of beast weapon transformation requires three elements: material, soul, and totem texture."

"Well, no!"

Suddenly, he shook his head: "We need one more thing."

"Actually, there are four elements, because one is missing, a very important one."

"what?"

Ye Lingling snapped out of her daze and looked at Han Tao, her eyes sparkling with a hint of liveliness.

"Objects that can bear the power of faith, such as gemstones!"

"Both Bibidon's papal scepter and Poseidon's sea god scepter are engraved with a gemstone."

"As a vessel for the power of faith, it is brilliant and magnificent, and indispensable."

Her eyes lit up when she heard the word "gemstone".

It's like a greedy dragon that can't resist shiny things.

However, with doubts in his heart, he asked, "In that case, wouldn't the ultimate form of the Blue Silver Priest be a perfect embodiment of a divine item?"

"The combined form of gemstones and blue silver grass is similar to your Blue Silver Overlord's Eye?"

Han Tao nodded: "Perhaps!"

"In the overall form, the soul is actually the easiest part to disassemble."

"The power of faith born from the Blue Silver Clan is used to strengthen one-ninth of one's soul, and this soul can then be used as a fusion for Blue Silver priests."

At this point in his narration, Han Tao gently tapped his fingers on the window to help him think more clearly.

"—Plop"

Elegant glass, shattered all over the floor.

Han Tao could only laugh awkwardly: "It's okay, I'll make it up to you!"

"Need not!"

Qian Daoliu waved his hand casually.

It's just a window, nothing special. Compared to a few supplies, Han Tao's friendship is clearly more important.

So Han Tao used his soul power to gather the shattered glass and struck it again, producing a "thump-thump" sound.

"As for the material, it's probably not that simple."

The Panlong Staff can be constructed using Dragon Blood Wood.

Where is Xiao, the Nine Phoenixes Arrive?

It couldn't possibly be constructed using dragon blood wood; naturally, it would be built with materials that complement the phoenix, such as paulownia wood.
"Phoenix perching on the parasol tree?"

"Then, what material is compatible with Blue Silver Grass?"

For a long time, Han Tao gazed at the dome of the church, pondering the various architectural styles of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the sects, but ultimately could not find an answer.

"That's all."

"Let's set aside this issue and explore the feasibility of the next one."

Totem texture.

This part may seem difficult, but it's actually simple.

Blue Silver Grass excels at entwining, and its vine-like entwining can easily alter the texture of a totem.

"As long as you keep exploring, you will eventually find the right answer."

In his imagination, Han Tao casually broke off a branch to use as material for the scepter.

The blue silver vines are drawn in, twining around the wooden branches and constantly changing the composition of their textures.

Sometimes it presents "nine leaves", sometimes "eight petals", sometimes it transforms into "eight angles", and sometimes it outlines "seven perfect shapes".

"There's a sense of isolation, repelling the vines, on the wooden branches."

"I suppose this is the result of substandard materials. If I want to realize the transformation of Blue Silver Grass into a beast weapon, I must find materials that accompany Blue Silver Vines?"

"It needs to resonate with the soul of the sacrifice, and it needs to resonate with the essence of the vine. Since the conditions are so demanding, the material of this branch must be evolved from Blue Silver Grass."
