Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 466 Horn Spiral
"Failed?"

"The structure of the Ghost Fire Flower Cup was a short-term design of mine. It is not a product of natural ecological verification and cannot withstand the torch of the highest intensity, nor can it withstand the wind that spreads from all directions."

Han Tao focused his mind, gripped the quill pen tightly, and kept writing in his diary.

The loss of the thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass is nothing.

Ning Rongrong gently shook her head. In fact, she wasn't sure whether the path Han Tao was exploring would be successful.

"In nature, only one ultimate immortal herb with fire attribute was born, the Blazing Apricot."

"Forms that have been tested by time and nature are unique and perfect; human deduction can never match the ecology of nature."

Han Tao smiled noncommittally.

Life, which originated from Earth and evolved naturally, ultimately lacks the precision of mechanical processes.

Perhaps he had thought of something, for his eyes shone with fervor.

"The Ghost Fire Flower Cup needs to be constructed using a three-layer nested system."

The upper level is where the flames are lit.

The middle layer is the chlorophyll junction, a structure that transforms the power of the sun into "advanced flames".

The lower level is where the "wind" is guided.

"The underlying structure needs optimization."

"The cavity of the Ghost Fire Flower Cup allows wind to pass through, but it lacks a specific structural form, resulting in very low wind utilization and bearing capacity."

Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled, "Then what structure do you plan to use to guide the wind?"

"A spiral structure!"

"And it has a counter-clockwise spiral structure."

The direction the clock hands point is related to the geographical environment.

This time, Han Tao didn't use Blue Silver Grass to evolve it. Instead, he first used wood to carve a counter-clockwise spiral shape.

Then it stirs the wind.

"The counter-clockwise spiral structure can greatly increase the airflow speed."

"And the speed of the wind will affect the intensity of the flame; it's a complementary system."

However, it also has its flaws.

Ye Lingling curiously took the model that Han Tao had carved.

He pondered for a moment, secretly marveling at the strange spiral pattern, which was unique even in the entire Douluo Continent.

"Is there still a flaw in this?"

Han Tao nodded: "Mm!"

"It can only withstand too little wind."

With nimble fingers, Han Tao re-carved a new wooden model, the base of which was much larger than the previous one.

Like a morning glory, if you add the embedded spiral, it looks even more like a human ear.

"The wind whispers, the wind sings!"

As the breath flows through the trumpet-shaped spiral structure of the trumpet once more, this time the wind, passing through the narrow cavity, reveals the sharpness of turbo acceleration.

It was just the wind blowing, yet Ye Lingling felt a kind of cutting sensation.

"But."

"Han Tao, your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. Blue Silver Grass cannot be as precise as a mechanical structure."

"Even if you can control the Blue Silver Grass to evolve in a specific direction, or even create a wood-like texture, how could it possibly match the carving?"

Ye Lingling asked thoughtfully.

Han Tao shook his head: "It's not important!"

"The most important thing in the whole system is to transform the power of the sun into fire, and the flow of energy caused by the wind."

"As for the so-called precision structure, it is difficult to evolve. I can use steel to fix it, as the clothes of Blue Silver Grass."

Ning Rongrong's face stiffened: "Blue Silver Grass's clothes?"

What a strange name. How come Han Tao makes it sound so amusing when he says it like that?
"Yes!" Han Tao nodded.

Seeing the many puzzled looks, Han Tao seemed a little flustered, so he offered a brief explanation.

"Just as a horse can wear horseshoes, Blue Silver Grass can also increase its martial soul strength by crafting its own equipment."

"Especially the intensity of the flame, which is the core of the Ghost Fire Flower Cup."

Weapons are also a part of strength.

After Tang Chen became the God of Asura, he lost the Asura Sword and the Clear Sky Hammer, so he couldn't use his god-like power. He was extremely frustrated.

Chen Xin nodded in agreement: "Yes."

"The Seven Kill Sword is my natal sword. Now, I feel uncomfortable using any other high-level sword."

"Ah."

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at her, then said sarcastically, "It's all because you haven't gotten a better sword. If you had the Asura Sword, you would never have said such a thing."

"Let's imagine for a moment that Grandpa Sword will say, 'The Asura Sword is my true destiny, and the Seven Kill Sword is merely a transitional product that allowed me to become the God of Asura.'"

Han Tao shook his head and smiled.

Ning Rongrong is always mischievous, and she's still the same now that she's grown up. Who knows what she must have been like when she was little?

Let's get back to the main topic.

"Theory needs to be verified by practice."

"Whether this horn-shaped base can actually be used remains to be seen and requires actual testing."

Ah Yin's voice was weak: "This time, you absolutely mustn't fail."

"The Blue Silver Clan did not suffer as many Blue Silver Grass losses."

"hope so"

Han Tao wasn't quite sure.

Then, the thousand-year-old blue silver grass gradually transformed, with the upper part remaining blank in the shape of flames.

The middle layer features a ring-shaped structure that envelops the flames, making it less susceptible to burns from the flames.

"The internal cavity is surrounded by a chlorophyll junction, which is related to the degradation of the sun's power into flames."

The base of the Blue Silver Grass is based on the material of the "Blue Silver Overlord Spear," a sturdy wooden structure.

Polishing and carving create intricate trumpet and spiral patterns.

"Han Tao, you've mastered the evolution of Blue Silver Grass to this level?"

"With this level of precision, there's absolutely no need for steel packaging!"

Yang Wudi moved closer and suddenly asked, but Han Tao did not answer.

The steel structure seems to have an additional purpose.

"We will build it according to this model. The interior needs to fit the Blue Silver Grass perfectly, and the exterior needs to be extremely precise. Any flaw will have a huge impact on the actual product."

"Lou Gaogao, thank you for your help this time."

Lou Gao arrogantly replied, "That's it? No big deal!"

She is Lou Gao's daughter, but her original name was not Lou Gao Gao; it was a name she made up herself.

Determined to surpass his father and be taller than a building, he secretly ran away and changed his name along the way.

Ding dong!

Bang!

The clanging of hammers against metal was incessant as custom-made steel molds took shape.

Han Tao inlaid it onto the Ghost Fire Flower Cup, and under the guidance of his will, the two energies of wind and fire gradually converged within the exquisite structure.

"Top-tier flames!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes flickered.

Han Tao has clearly succeeded this time.

The perfect harmony of structure and form elevates the ordinary Blue Silver Grass to the ranks of top-tier soul beasts.

"But."

"The Ghostly Flame Cup, constructed in a strange form, only possesses the intensity of a top-tier flame. How then can it generate antibodies against top-tier fire poison?"

The effect of annihilation achieved through theory is not the same as the annihilation of characteristics.

Similarly, the top-tier Ghost Fire Flower Cup, with its structural design, possesses top-tier flame intensity due to the convergence of wind and fire, but it does not produce equivalent antibodies.

"The exploration of martial spirits has been successful, but what about Han Tao?"

"You have not achieved your goal; you have still failed."

Ah Yin's eyes held both excitement and the deepest sorrow of despair.

Han Tao shook his head: "No, no rush!"

"If it can withstand the flow of wind even without a steel mold, then what's the point of having it?"

"Because the power of the Wind Whisper includes the flow of breath and also the scent!"

"odor?"

Ah Yin couldn't understand it.

Han Tao's fingers moved again, and the special pungent scent transformed from the solar power of the Torch Tree took shape under the influence of the wind.

"The Blue Silver Overlord Spear can resist the flow of energy, but it cannot resist the corrosive effects of poison."

"That's why I need steel molds."

As the pungent odor is introduced, the color of the flame subtly changes, transforming from the usual alternation of red and yellow.

Elegant pale blue, flawless deep blue, and serene blue-purple.
