Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 478 Soul Power Crystallization?
Darkness, boundless darkness, buried all light.

Han Tao looked up at the sky, unsure whether it was a dragon's wings so wide they blotted out the sky, or an effect surpassing even the deepest darkness.

"Very strong!"

"Even the Asura God Tang Chen has never posed this kind of threat to me!"

Fingers, interlacing in the ground.

The soil and earth slowly split open into a narrow strip, and Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling no longer needed Han Tao's command, immediately leaping into the deep earth veins.

As the ground closed in, Han Tao smiled with relief.

"Han Tao, you have disappointed me!"

"The divine-level martial soul that the Evil Eye points to is in no way inferior to the Black Dragon in terms of quality. Why don't you dare to compete with me?"

Di Tian spoke with a cold and arrogant tone.

His mental energy swept around, trying to use darkness to attack Han Tao beneath the ground, but he couldn't find a way to do so for a long time.

"Because...there's no need!"

"I have no need to put myself in danger. The battles I engage in must be absolutely crushing!"

"Whether you are hidden deep in the earth's veins or a phantom in the sky, it doesn't affect my offensive methods, but you can no longer pose a threat to me!"

Di Tian's eyes were filled with coldness.

The Blue Silver Overlord's Eye high in the sky and Han Tao hidden deep in the ground are both locations that are difficult for him to attack.

"Damn it!"

"Human Soul Masters' methods are despicable!"

Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion rebuked, originally thinking that this would gain the approval of the two, but saw Di Tian shake his head.

"No, this is how battles should be fought."

"By using every means to gain the upper hand, Han Tao's behavior may seem cowardly, but it may well be the way to victory."

Di Tian lowered his head in a daze, his tone seemingly devoid of arrogance.

"I need to learn from him!"

"Learn from him?"

Hyotei wondered, "You're clearly stronger than him, scaring him so much that he fled underground. Why are you still trying to learn from him?"

"The opponents ahead will be powerful Soul Masters, or even terrifying gods."

“They may not be arrogant, nor will they necessarily clash with us head-on. They may even hide in some corner, making it impossible for me to attack or find a way to strike.”

Di Tian's demeanor was humble, unlike that of a strongman.

Perhaps it is precisely because of his humility at this moment that he is the strongest soul beast on the Douluo Continent, and not any other one.

"Come on, Han Tao, let me see what you've got!"

Facing the ground, it spat out a mouthful of dark dragon flame, its expression defiant.

"No need for feigned provocation!"

"Your thoughts and memories are clearly visible in the illusion, and even a half-step divine consciousness cannot withstand them."

"However, out of respect for the strong, I will not read your theory on [divinity]."

Shaking one's head, speaking plainly, explaining.

The main reason is that its memories are too long and complicated, and it is impossible to accurately find the memories of the [Godhood] in a short period of time. If there were, Han Tao would definitely read them and then respectfully repay him with equivalent theoretical rewards.

"Same frequency, resonance!"

"This is my strongest attack. I hope you are strong enough to withstand it!"

The earth's veins are activated, and wind and fire intertwine, transmitting the force of vibration from the earth to the sky.

—Buzz—

"When the martial soul evolves to the god level, and when the domain and rank deepen, the resonance at the same frequency is now as easy as picking up a pen."

"At least, the enemy cannot easily avoid the shockwave."

Han Tao's tone was calm, composed, and indifferent.

Di Tian let out a muffled groan.

He suddenly coughed up blood; the shock had injured his internal organs, but the injury was not serious.

"Is this your method?"

"That's all. Your attacks may seem fierce to humans, but for us soul beasts, they're far from enough to kill me!"

With a gentle twitch of her fingers, Bi Ji brushed across the flow of life force, allowing Di Tian's wounds to heal.

"Even if," Han Tao said slowly, "even if it possesses destructive power surpassing that of a god, it still cannot pose a threat to it?"

"That makes sense. Soul beasts are inherently stronger than humans, and dragon-type soul beasts are even stronger. With Di Tian's 70 years of powerful strength, it's no surprise that he can withstand my full-force resonance."

Han Tao: "Blue Silver Grass is ultimately not known for its aggressiveness."

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes, then chuckled.

"Blue Silver Grass lacks offensive capabilities?"

"You have to understand that it's a black dragon that's 700,000 years old. Even if it were Grandpa Sword, he might not be able to hurt it in the slightest."

Ye Lingling covered her lips and chuckled to herself.

Di Tian, ​​however, lost his ability to speak and instead fell into a long period of contemplation.

"Resonance at the same frequency."

"Isotopic resonance."

"This seems to be a very important clue. If it follows the path of resonance, could it help me condense my second soul core?"

Isotopic resonance is the prerequisite for the birth of a second soul core.

Based on the phenomenon, Di Tian deduced a certain possibility, and thus he stopped his clamoring.

He suddenly spoke up: "Han Tao, how about we make another deal?"

"What deal?"

A faint, unseen voice emanated from the air, but it could not determine Han Tao's location underground based on this.

Han Tao was very cautious, very cautious.

So it had no choice but to cry out: "I need a method to achieve isotopic resonance!"

"If you are willing to tell me about it, I am willing to provide a plan for condensing the [Divinity] as a reward!"

Han Tao's eyes darted around several times, his mind racing.

Logically, and based on the reverse deduction of the theory, only when condensing the second soul core is it necessary to have [synchronous resonance] as a guiding force.

"Could it be that Di Tian has already mastered the method of condensing the soul core at this point in time?"

"It seems that it has not yet formed a Yin-Yang complementary soul core, and is still in the stage of a unique soul core."

Di Tian has mastered the method of condensing the soul core, while I have mastered [Synchronous Resonance], and the two complement each other perfectly.

So Han Tao replied, "Di Tian!"

"I don't need the method for condensing a godhood for now. I'm still some time away from becoming a peerless Douluo. Compared to the laws of godhood, I'm more eager for you to give me the theory about 'soul cores'."

Hyotei was puzzled, while Brigitte was somewhat surprised.

Di Tian paused briefly, then straightened his expression and asked, "Human, where did you learn about the soul core?"

"The Origin Pearl of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the Inner Core of the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent, and the Whale Glue of the Deep Sea Whale Soul Beast are all used as references for the Soul Core."

"In fact, I have already embarked on the path of the Soul Core."

Words need proof. A vortex appeared in the air, formed by the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"The Soul Power Cyclone is not as effective as the Soul Core."

"But it also proves what I said. Even if you are unwilling to exchange the theory of the soul core, I will be able to find the answer to this in the near future."

Di Tian hesitated slightly, his heart filled with shock.

The insights he had gained over nearly ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or even several hundred thousand years were completely obscured by Han Tao in just a few decades.

"Okay, I promise you!"

"The Soul Core theory is actually based on the characteristics of a certain Soul Beast."

Han Tao asked, "What kind of soul beast?"

"Crystal Bear!"

Ye Lingling pondered for a moment.

The illusion is vibrant and colorful; find the part about the soul beast.

The Crystal Bear is a branch of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and is a mutated form of a Soul Beast.

"It has a special ability to crystallize the attacked parts."

"This ability is not remarkable, and I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but over thousands of years I have discovered some clues."

Di Tian let out a long sigh, his eyes deep and thoughtful, while also praising his own understanding.

"Driven by powerful spiritual force, the soul power can be actively crystallized to form a higher energy form, the [Soul Core]."
