Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 491 Meridian Modification

"After hundreds or thousands of years of trials by the sacred pillars, the talent has undergone iteration."

"This has given rise to a talent among the Soul Masters on this tiny island that is completely isolated from the world, and this talent is manifested in every aspect of their lives."

Standing in front of the meridian chart, Ye Lingling spoke calmly.

"Perhaps it is precisely because of this powerful talent that they have the ability to contend with the Spirit Hall."

Poseidon Island has a rich cultural heritage.

This foundation doesn't refer to the number of Title Douluos on the island, but rather that every Soul Master possesses exceptional talent to a certain extent.

Leaning against the edge of the dome of the hall, Rongrong found a comfortable position, crossed her legs, and murmured softly.

"What about it?"

"You say they have great talent, but where exactly does that talent manifest itself?"

Han Tao stroked his chin.

After taking the diagram from Ye Lingling and carefully comparing it, he let out a long sigh.

"Land-based Soul Masters have resilient meridians, and I once deduced that the width of the meridians and the compatibility of Soul Power are factors that influence talent."

"And on this island, I saw a completely new direction."

Ning Rongrong gazed at the sun, her mind immersed in the illusion, seemingly using a distraction control technique to ponder the connection between the tides and the sun and moon.

Seahorse Douluo asked with a hint of curiosity, "Really?"

"How could I not know? Since you all say that the talents of Sea Soul Masters are so outstanding, could you elaborate?"

Han Tao paused deliberately, took out his diary, and wrote down the third word related to talent.

The elasticity of meridians

The first two terms are "meridian width" and "meridian soul power compatibility".

"When a Soul Master's meridians cannot withstand the surge caused by Soul Power, the meridians will be damaged. Innate Soul Power and Microscopic Healing can repair the damage caused by the damage."

The conversation then took a turn: "But similarly, if a Soul Master's meridians are elastic, they can naturally withstand stronger surges of Soul Power. Moreover, when the meridians are contracted, they do not occupy space, and when they 'stretch,' they can obtain more space for the flow of Soul Power."

"It is based on the extension of the width of the meridians, and this complex layer of change is just a tiny, insignificant part of the talent of the Sea Soul Master."

Han Tao's words were filled with fervor.

Upon hearing this, Regirock Seahorse was taken aback: "Really? I didn't know that I possessed this characteristic?"

"Because you don't have it!"

Ye Lingling's answer sounded harsh.

"Among sea spirit masters, not all of them possess this advantageous trait. According to my observation, only 21% of the spirit masters on the entire Seagod Island possess this 'meridian elasticity,' and without exception, their martial souls are all related to snakes, dragons, and spears."

Sea Dragon Saint Pillar, Sea Delusional Douluo, and Sea Spear Douluo were all smiles as they came up and gently patted the seahorse on the shoulder.

"Want some barnacles? It's on us!"

"Today is a happy day. We plan to treat you to a small meal each, and then you can tell us about the advantages of this meridian elasticity talent."

Seahorse's expression wasn't good: "Goodbye!"

"Isn't it just the elasticity of the meridians? Since she was able to discover this innate characteristic, maybe she can help me acquire it?"

What are you dreaming about?

Hailong suddenly mocked, "Even if Han Tao and Ye Lingling can grasp the microscopic world and heal the damage to the meridians, do you know how many meridians a Soul Master has? These meridians and blood vessels are densely connected, so how could they be easily altered?"

He stood tall, chest puffed out, his expression arrogant, and glanced disdainfully at the seahorse.

Ye Lingling ignored their conversation and focused on flipping through the diagrams one by one. Then, her fingers paused.

"The flexibility of the meridians is not the focus right now, Han Tao, look at this diagram." Han Tao looked over.

His gaze followed Ye Lingling's finger.

"Does the flow of these meridians and blood vessels align more closely with the rules of nature?"

"Yes!"

"Just as countless streams converge into rivers, and then flow into the sea, these streams are like countless capillaries, and the rivers reflect the twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians of a Soul Master."

"The ultimate ocean is the dantian of a Soul Master, and also the heart of a Soul Master."

Han Tao activated his spiritual power to perceive the direction of his own meridians and blood vessels.

Long history, a long and winding road.

Han Tao admitted that his meridians and blood vessels were far less perfect than those in the diagrams, which were uniquely sculpted by nature, while his own were like a random creation.

The seahorse asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Simply put, the distribution rules of the meridians are more perfect."

He simply gave a brief explanation, and suddenly, Seahorse Douluo's expression lit up with joy.

A kiss filled with joy: "Whose meridian chart is this? Is it mine? Do I possess this superior advantage?"

"no!"

"You don't seem to have any special talent, or perhaps you do, or perhaps our abilities are simply too great to detect."

Ye Lingling's words were gentle, yet like ancient frost, etched into the heart of Seahorse Douluo.

"The talent of meridian pathways is a unique characteristic that I have never seen in any of the Soul Masters I have treated on the Douluo Continent."

"On Poseidon Island, this kind of talent is extremely rare. Currently, only Starfish Douluo and Sea Ghost Douluo possess it. Moreover, the talent they possess is only a part of the tributaries converging into the rivers, and the rivers returning to the sea."

Seahorse Douluo lowered his head and remained silent.

It's not too painful to not have any talent himself, but it's especially sad that his five old friends, the Pillars, all have unique talents while he doesn't.

"normal."

Han Tao casually chimed in, "The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has no skeleton, so it found a path of structural evolution. These martial souls of theirs don't have any hard bones either, and it's normal for such unique talents to emerge under the selection mechanism of the Holy Pillar Trial."

"But what I care about more is..."

Quietly, he leaned close to Ye Lingling's ear and asked, "Is there any way for us to copy their advantageous talents and traits onto ourselves?"

"impossible!"

Seeing the two whispering to each other, Ning Rongrong immediately felt jealous and jumped down from the roof in a huff.

"She can indeed alter meridians and blood vessels, which is a unique advantage in healing soul power."

"But as Sea Dragon Douluo said, a Soul Master has countless blood vessels and meridians, which cannot be changed at all. Just the number of capillaries alone is between 200 and 400 trillion. Even if there is a distraction control technique to change 729 at the same time, it would be meaningless."

Upon hearing this, Seahorse Douluo felt utterly defeated.

Ye Lingling's face was serene, her eyes shimmering like autumn water: "Although..."

"The flow of countless tributaries into rivers reflects the flow of capillaries and blood vessels, which cannot be synchronized due to their magnitude. However, we can alter the macroscopic flow of the twelve regular meridians, the eight extraordinary meridians, and the core blood vessels of the heart."

Her fingers gently caressed it.

Healing soul power surged within her body. Based on her own modifications, Ye Lingling appeared relaxed and easygoing at this moment.

The pathways of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Twelve Regular Meridians are modeled after the natural wonder of rivers converging into the sea, and are usually based on the unique meridian charts of starfish.

Seamlessly integrated, completely renewed.
