Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 498 Soul Core, Cyclone

The mighty waves appear tiny beneath the vast ocean.

"Based on my years of research."

As Poseidon reopened his "Logbook of Poseidon," a bitter feeling suddenly welled up in his eyes, his sincerity, earnestness, and a hint of helplessness all swirling within them.

Many pages in the ship's log had been torn out, and she could only deduce the truth buried beneath the history from the remaining information.

"When a Soul Master breaks through to the Title Douluo level and reaches level 95 or above, they must possess divinity to continue breaking through!"

Pointing to himself as an example, he said, "For instance, I gained divinity through the trials of the sacred pillars on Poseidon Island."

Han Tao added, "At the same time, it is also inextricably linked to the route of Poseidon."

Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling raised their heads slightly: "What about us?"

"If there is no assessment, how can one attain divinity?"

Poseidon hesitated upon hearing this.

Why would you ask such a question?

"You have already undergone the divine test, and it is only right that you have received the reward of divinity. Do you intend to give up the test?"

Her expression suddenly turned cold, but when she noticed Han Tao's surging soul power, she quickly calmed it down.

Even though this is Poseidon Island, she wasn't absolutely certain she could defeat Han Tao. And if she did, it would inevitably mean parting ways with Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong. In the end, she was a bit weak at the crucial moment.

"Rewards without performance evaluation."

"Gaining divinity is not so simple."

"Primitive divinity can be condensed by the power of faith, while higher divinity requires sincere faith, which is extremely rare, even demanding!"

Han Tao exclaimed in surprise: "The power of sincere faith?"

"Yes!"

Poseidon confirmed this again.

As Han Tao tapped his fingers lightly, he couldn't help but recall the events. Was the sacrifice of Poseidon and Qian Daoliu due to the "true faith" required for the divine position?
"But why is a sacrifice necessary?"

The Red Spider Lily is the only true believer born from the Blue Silver Clan, and it is her existence that allows the Blue Silver Priests to reach their ultimate level.

Ye Lingling smiled gently.
"I once rescued many Soul Masters and commoners in the Heaven Dou Empire. Many of them were grateful, but this sincere gratitude did not transform into faith."

As she spoke, she glanced at Tang San with disgust.

His mother kindly treated him, but he turned around and destroyed her meridians and dantian. He is truly an ungrateful person.

Poseidon's fingers moved gently, and an invisible power of faith swirled around his fingertips.

"True faith is exceptionally rare. It seems that only the Spirit Hall on the Douluo Continent possesses this power of faith, but unfortunately..."

"Their papal scepter broke a while ago!"

A flicker of schadenfreude flickered in Poseidon's eyes.

The loss of the scepter by the Spirit Hall is undoubtedly a good thing for Seagod Island, because now, the only way for them to help a Soul Master break through to the Peerless Douluo level is through the Divine Trial.

"Nine treasures transform into crystal, and nine treasures have a name!"

"Three: Soul!"

The blue silver soul power flowing through Han Tao's meridians was a second sublimation, which was further enhanced with Ning Rongrong's assistance.

The soul guide rotated, revealing a dragon-patterned paper from the Emperor Heaven that recorded the laws governing the condensation of the "soul core".

"Crystal Bear"

"Soul Power Crystallization"

Memorize the contents of the dragon paper.

At this moment, the Soul Core Condensation Method appeared crude and inadequate, but Han Tao had no other choice.

"Inferior soul core condensation methods require more soul power, more mental power, and more complicated steps to achieve."

"Although its condensation method is extremely inferior compared to the soul core that will be iterated ten thousand years later, it is advanced at this moment."

"but."

Han Tao suddenly hesitated.

After hesitating for a long time, as if making a certain decision, his tone was resolute, each word distinct and deliberate.

"My dantian is currently unable to support the dual-soul core system." "To condense the Blue Silver Soul Core, I must abandon my innate Qi vortex."

Compared to the crude Soul Core Condensation Method, the Innate Qi Cyclone appeared to be of much lower quality, Han Tao chuckled softly.

So, he casually grabbed Tang San by the collar.

"Han Tao, what do you want to do?"

Tang San roared angrily, but it was all in vain.

In the face of power, struggle and resistance seem absurd.

"Tang San, I've heard..."

"Your Clear Sky Hammer has a Primordial Soul Ring?"

Han Tao sighed slightly.

As expected of a protagonist favored by fate, his soul ring, born from innate soul power, is almost impossible to replicate in the world.

However, in the eyes of a scholar like Han Tao who has grasped the essence of spirit rings, copying them is not difficult.

"Innate soul power?"

"Han Tao, where did you get your innate soul power?"

Tang San's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.

Because above the Blue Silver Overlord, the ninth soul ring is coiling and condensing.

The exquisite innate vortexes lost their original constant swirling color; guided by spiritual power, they manifested as a pure white soul ring.

"Innate Soul Ring?"

"Like a flawless bracelet?"

Its strength is not high, and it is not even a hundred-year-old soul ring.

Tang San's eyes were sinister; he had clearly recognized the aura on the spirit ring and questioned it in a hoarse voice.

"Han Tao, did you steal my Xuan Tian Gong?"

"Utterly despicable, utterly shameless! Only a scoundrel like you would steal martial arts techniques!"

Han Tao neither confirmed nor denied it.

Tang San continued to curse: "To date, I have not taught the Mysterious Heaven Skill to anyone, not even when the Grandmaster asked for it."

"Han Tao, if you have any guts, tell me where you got your Xuan Tian Gong from?"

Tang San was filled with suspicion. Had Yu Xiaogang tampered with the soul tool?
Or did Xiao Wu secretly bewitch him and steal the Xuan Tian Gong without his knowledge?
"I don't have that kind of courage!"

Han Tao didn't answer Tang San, letting him guess on his own. How could he ruin the pleasure of someone else's gradual exploration?

Then, he casually tossed Tang San next to a trash can in the corner.

The Soul Core Condensation Method of the "Crystal Bear" gathers countless soul forces into the dantian, slowly condensing them into a complete crystal.

"Han Tao has begun to condense his soul core!"

In the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiong Jun smiled amiably.

The Crystal Bear is a branch of the Devilclaw Bear, while the Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear is an evolved superior form of the Devilclaw Bear. The Bear King immediately sensed the anomaly in the distance of the sea.

"Is there a problem with this condensation method?"

Brigitte asked, puzzled.

Di Tian chuckled softly, "No problem, I wouldn't stoop to deceiving Han Tao."

"However, this condensation method is designed based on soul beasts. Soul masters can certainly use the same method to condense soul cores, but it is basically impossible to achieve the conditions for an exponential increase in soul power and mental power."

Di Tian looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed with arrogance.

"And it's not just Soul Masters!"

"Even most of the top-tier soul beasts on the Douluo Continent are unable to meet the conditions for condensing a soul core."

1000 points of soul power is just a basic indicator. If your mental strength is insufficient, or if you do not have strong control over your soul power or your operation is not precise enough, you will need to consume more soul power to condense a soul core.

Di Tian disdainfully ignored the thousands of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Di Tian didn't even consider top-tier soul beasts like the Titan Giant Ape, the Azure Bull Python, and the Blue Silver Emperor. He didn't even look down on the million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
