Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 465 Ghostly Flame Flower Cup
Dilemma.

The evolutionary path of the Blue Silver Tree and Torch Tree reaches its limit at the intermediate level of Martial Soul strength.

"Since the Torch Tree's evolutionary path is difficult to break through, I might as well look at others. Perhaps I can gain something from other martial souls?"

"The students in the College of Plant Sciences have more than just Huo Ranran as a plant case."

Next up are the Flaming Jujube, the Exploding Sunflower, and the Red-Veined Vermilion Fruit.

The Flaming Jujube and the Crimson-Veined Vermilion Fruit are fruits formed from a certain plant. These martial souls have almost no combat power, and the fruits cannot be eaten directly. Therefore, the two have a low status in the Plant Academy and are often looked down upon by other soul masters.

Nan Zixuan timidly raised his eyes.

Han Tao waved his hand casually, clearly not caring about these meaningless factors.

"Um"

"The Nine-Leaf Blue Silver Emperor was poisoned by the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent. Only Blue Silver Grass that has evolved to the ultimate fire attribute can produce an antibody."

"The purpose of its evolution is to detoxify the core sequence and help the entire race be exempt from the flames of the divine artifacts. As for whether it can fight..."

Whether the fruit is edible or has any other value is meaningless to me.

The fruit's shape is actually the embryonic chamber of the plant.

Inside the complete Crimson Fruit are clusters of thousands of Fierce Azure Tree seeds, but due to the freezing of the Martial Soul, they have lost the possibility of spreading, growing, and germinating.

"This is a malignant mutation."

"This situation only occurs with Soul Masters."

Ning Rongrong's tone was sweet and delicate.

Suddenly, a pleasant thought popped into his head: what if these secondary forms of the Vermilion Fruit were used as an adjuvant to the Immortal Herb, would it have some unusual effects?

“Normal soul beasts, as they age, will naturally break free from the constraints of the fruit and grow into complete plant soul beasts.”

"Only the Soul Master's Martial Soul can fix the growth range of the Soul Beast. Due to the special nature of the Martial Soul, this incredible deterioration can occur."

The dean of the Plant Academy was a kind-hearted elder; otherwise, given his status and strength, he would not have allowed these "useless" martial spirits to cultivate within the academy.

At least, it's a little better than some academy that claims to only accept 'monsters'.

"Uncle, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Wu Tianhan asked respectfully.

His martial spirit is "Red-Veined Vermilion Fruit," and he is an ordinary student at the Botanical Academy.

"The Crimson Fruit is a useless martial soul, but compared to the Blue Silver Grass, my martial soul is far from useless."

"Han Tao was able to evolve the Blue Silver Grass to an unimaginable level, and even broke through to the Soul Douluo level, so my Crimson Fruit can naturally do the same."

The child's delicate body, yet his eyes sparkled with confidence.

Perhaps Han Tao's experience spread throughout the Douluo Continent, giving many Soul Masters a reference point, demonstrating that human power can overcome the destiny of Martial Souls.

Han Tao ruffled his hair and chuckled, "You don't need to help me with anything."

"Because as long as your martial spirit exists, it will be of reference value to me."

Wu Tianhan did not understand Han Tao's meaning.

He was of course unaware that, at the very moment Han Tao arrived, the perception surging from the Blue Silver Overlord's Eye had already completely dismantled his martial soul.

Composition, direction, foundation, factors.
"The fruit is a deterioration of the martial soul, but this deterioration becomes extraordinary under special circumstances, such as the Guzhu!"

"Guzhu?"

Ning Rongrong was puzzled.

Han Tao, who was standing next to her, quickly provided her with an answer.

"When a bamboo grows to a hundred or a thousand years old, it needs to consume its innate essence to change its form."

"And if one's own form does not change, then naturally one will not consume the so-called innate origin."

"Let's assume we use some method to freeze the image of a solitary bamboo as an embryo, which is the bamboo shoot commonly seen in human faces."

Ning Rongrong fell into deep thought.
After a long while, her eyes flickered with a hint of shock.

"If there were a thousand-year-old bamboo shoot, it would retain its original nature."

"Even other types of Soul Masters, even those with high-level Martial Souls, can absorb its innate essence?" Han Tao nodded: "Yes!"

"Moreover, this is the only way I can think of to allow Guzhu to break through ten thousand years."

At this point in his story, Han Tao's expression became inexplicably dejected.

Zhu Qi's death makes the 0.5 extra growth base seem a distant prospect.

Han Tao left the College of Botany.

In the Sunset Forest, within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Secret Realm, the Blue Silver Grass suddenly sprouted three evolutionary veins.

The intermediate Blue Silver Grass evolved from the Torch Tree, which is a tree with flames rising from it.

The "deterioration" of the embryo is referenced from the evolutionary form of the Guzhu.

And finally, the "Exploding Sunflower".

"The sun and moon are intertwined, and the Sunlight Grass is the one that draws upon the power of the sun."

"The sun and light are both sublimations of the fire element, and you can obtain a relatively high-level Blue Silver Grass by simply degrading the high-level characteristics."

A blue silver grass is activated, weaving into the shape of a sunflower, and using "snowflake patterns" and "green connecting strips" to draw in the sunlight from millions of meters above.

Subsequently, Han Tao attempted to degrade the solar elements.

——Bang!

The Blue Silver Grass suddenly burst open, like a grand celebration.

Ning Rongrong's lips twitched, amusement playing on her lips: "Exploding Sunflower?"

"It is not named because of its explosive properties, but because the sunflower cannot withstand the fire element, causing it to explode."

"Hahahaha"

Han Tao ignored her strange laughter.

Since it is an experiment, sacrifices are inevitable, especially in this way of bearing fire attributes.

He stroked his chin, lost in long-forgotten contemplation.
"Perhaps the hollow center of the torch tree could be a good reference?"

One thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass exploded and died, and another thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass was born in its place.

Its shape is also that of a sunflower, but the center is empty, and scattered flames ignite and burn.

"The sunflower's form is the best way to draw upon the sun's power and transform it into a high-level fire attribute."

"The form of the blue silver grass, its flowers, and leaves can evolve into an oily coating, and at the same time, it can support the flame coating connection zone."

The burning speed gradually increased
At the center of the sunflower, flames burn, while the chlorophyll ring around the edge absorbs the sun's power and transforms into blazing fire.

Those near the torch were scorched into charcoal by the intense heat.

"The Ghostfire Flower Cup is a high-level martial soul, showing significant improvement compared to the Torch Tree."

With a leap, Ning Rongrong sat on the swing inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, swaying with the wind and her toes.

"Han Tao, didn't you ever think about using the wind?"

"Wind?" Han Tao was stunned.

"Yes, the wind can blow the fire in different directions and also increase its intensity."

"A single upward gust of wind is enough to prevent the structure of the Ghostfire Flower Cup from being scorched, and to carry away the heat and flames that burn the Blue Silver Grass."

Controlling the flow of countless energies, the Wind Whisper Grass is a top-tier Blue Silver Grass soul beast.

With the "Wind Whisper," Han Tao can freely alter the patterns of the wind to aid in the evolution of his martial soul.

"Since that's the case, why not give it a try?"

Following Ning Rongrong's instructions, Han Tao activated the Wind Whisper, allowing the barely perceptible wind to flow through his palm.

Transforming and wandering, they surge from all directions, converging at the base of the ghostly fire flower cup.

——Bang!

It exploded once again, like a dazzling firework.
