Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 74 Countdown

[Exploration 3]

"Gather all your mental energy into your mind."

This was a relatively successful exploration.

However, the spirits that have been gathered together cannot be completely integrated; there will be some gaps.

These fissures can lead to a loss of spiritual energy.

In the early stages, the rate of mental depletion is lower than the rate of mental recovery.

But as he cultivated and time passed, the cracks grew larger and larger.

The rate of mental depletion is accelerating, gradually outpacing the rate of recovery.

Until all their spirit is exhausted.

The Soul Master died.

According to the death list:

All the remaining pioneers fell at this point.

you could put it that way.

After you've mastered the advanced techniques of distraction control and achieved a split personality...
They had already entered the countdown to death.

If no new research results are found before the countdown ends, there is only one way out: death.

But why are so many Soul Masters so eager to conduct research at such an exorbitant cost?

Han Tao then provided the answer.

What was recorded in the books was completely different from Han Tao's own experience.

The spirit carrying the main consciousness returned to the mind and began to perceive the changes in the other two spirits.

"A spiritual entity can be attached to a spirit ring, spirit bone, or martial spirit."

but,

Soul rings and soul bones that are not of the original attribute lose spiritual power very quickly, and one cannot sustain it for long.

By attaching the spiritual body to the third spirit ring, "Blue Silver Eye," the rate at which spiritual power declines is significantly reduced.

So, Han Tao once again sensed the spiritual entity where the soul bone was located.

"The spiritual entity attached to the 100,000-year-old soul bone seems to have been nurtured in some way?"

"No spiritual energy has been lost!?"

This phenomenon inevitably brought joy to Han Tao.

Because it meant that he had been granted a get-out-of-jail-free card.

"What exactly is the reason?"

Han Tao circulated his mental energy, repeatedly examining the differences in the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.
After a long while, a guess came to mind:
"The structure of a 100,000-year-old soul bone can support a soul body."

Titan Giant Ape, Azure Bull Python, and Soft Bone Rabbit all house their souls within a 100,000-year soul ring, waiting for a certain moment to be resurrected.

"Only when a spirit ring or spirit bone breaks through to 100,000 years will it possess the power to nurture the soul."

in this way
Then everything became clear.

After exploring the Origin Soul Bone, Han Tao once again focused his attention on the Blue Silver Grass.

The split soul merged with the Blue Silver Grass, truly perceiving the microscopic internal structure and texture.

"Ah, this"

Simple perception led Han Tao to an unbelievable discovery.

The fusion of the soul and the martial spirit is equivalent to providing the Blue Silver Grass with a main control panel, giving it control over the martial spirit's modding permissions.

By integrating with the Martial Soul's physical body, understanding the essence of the Martial Soul, and mastering its origin, one can achieve true mastery.

"It turns out, I've always been missing a part of myself."

"Fusing with the Martial Soul's original body" is the third dimension of Martial Soul evolution.

Evolved Martial Soul, Evolved Martial Soul, the Evolved Martial Soul that Ning Fengzhi had always longed for.

Ning Fengzhi's understanding of evolving martial souls has long surpassed Ye Junlan's; it's just that Ye Junlan couldn't break through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

There was no other way but to study the theory.

So, what's the use of fusing with the Martial Soul's original body?
MOD permissions mean the permission to modify.

Han Tao can delete, add, back up, and modify various characteristics of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

After the Blue Silver Grass completes its "adaptation" to the external forces, Han Tao is able to back up this change; incorrect routes can be deleted, and correct routes can be retained.

"Tolerance for mistakes, this is an improvement in tolerance for mistakes."

Passive adaptation always carries uncontrollable risks.

In this way, Han Tao can adapt the incorrect route of the Four Poison Blue Silver Grass or the uncertain route of the Blood Sandalwood Flower to his own martial soul.

First, improve the quality of your own martial spirit.

Even if the route is wrong, it can be deleted; that's the significance of MOD permissions.

"From passive to active."

"Huge profits, unimaginable profits!"

Han Tao finally understood why so many Soul Masters were so dedicated to studying this field.

Indeed, compared to the risks, the potential benefits are terrifying.

"If even martial spirits are like this, then what about spirit rings? And spirit bones?"

Han Tao shifted his focus away from the martial spirit.

He began to study the fusion of spirit and soul rings.

"This structure" integrates the spirit into the soul ring.
A microscopic, in-depth, clear, and close-up perception of the soul ring structure.

"It seems we haven't reached our limit yet?"

Han Tao discovered this conclusion.

As an experiment, he used his mental power to slightly draw upon a portion of the soul bone's energy.

Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, lifespan reduced by 34 years.

The Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring's lifespan has increased by 55 years, surpassing 1100 years.

The ratio is 5:8, which corresponds to the growth base of Blue Silver Grass and Blue Silver Emperor.

"Oh, the ability to increase the age of spirit rings."

"It needs to draw energy from other places, and it must be from the same source."

At this moment, Han Tao finally understood why all those pioneers had died.

Who wouldn't be tempted by this?!

Modify your martial soul and increase the age of your soul rings?
This is God's authority.

The advanced analysis and control method can acquire divine authority at the cost of consuming one's spiritual body.

They use one silently, and then it shuts down in a matter of minutes.

Han Tao tested it again.

The spirit ring that emerges from the Blue Silver Grass corpse can also increase the age of that spirit ring.

"That's great, recycling!"

Now, the Blue Silver Grass that died while testing its evolution path has found a good home for its spirit ring.

Han Tao stopped what he was doing and began to think.

What is the optimal solution?

After some calculation, Han Tao suddenly made up his mind.

5500 years of soul power were extracted from the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor and applied to the Blue Silver Grass soul ring.

Han Tao's third spirit ring has been upgraded from 1100 years to 9900 years.

Limited by the structure of the spirit rings, it is unable to break through the ten-thousand-year barrier.

Many people may wonder why we don't use other Blue Silver Grass spirit rings to increase the age of the third spirit ring?
This line of thinking is not wrong in itself.

However, the "Blue Silver Eye" represents the ability to perceive.

Gaining stronger perception abilities in advance will make it easier to discover new evolutionary paths for Blue Silver Grass.

The right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor can also absorb the soul rings of dead Blue Silver Grass.

There will be some losses, which is inevitable, but it is within Han Tao's acceptable range.

In Han Tao's view, "gaining stronger perception ahead of time" is more important than "the energy loss of transforming Blue Silver Grass into Blue Silver Emperor".

"Right now, I have two core needs!"

"One is a perception-type soul ring, the Blue Silver Eye, which has already been enhanced to its limit."

"The other one is the Jade Phosphorus Flower Soul Ring and the Blue Silver Poison Barrier, which will allow me to reach the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

"Once I get there, my martial soul's evolution speed will undergo a qualitative change!"

The natural magnetic field only contributes to the speed of cultivation, and this effect is so minor that Han Tao didn't even mention it.

Most importantly, it can accelerate the evolution of Blue Silver Grass.

To obtain more evolutionary samples, thereby enabling your Blue Silver Grass to transform once again.

At the same time, this "Heartbreak Red" fairy herb can also be returned to Ning Rongrong.

then,

Han Tao turned his gaze to the "black soul ring".

Because of the Azure Phosphorus Flower, Han Tao was forced to cultivate the advanced version of the "Distraction Control Technique," and was forced to start a death countdown.

"Mental strength!"

"Mental strength will gradually weaken over time."

Han Tao's thoughts sank slightly.

"Enhancing mental strength is the key to delaying death."

There are currently four methods, which are only temporary solutions, but can improve mental strength.

The first method is to cultivate the "Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Lu" (望穿秋水露) after reaching the "Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye".

This is very difficult, extremely difficult, a feat that is beyond comprehension and nothing short of wishful thinking.

The second method is to break through the soul power level.

After breaking through the Soul Power level, the upper limit of the Spirit Power attribute will increase, thereby balancing the loss of Spirit Power.

The third method is to integrate the wisdom skull formed by spiritual cohesion.

You need to participate in the National Elite Soul Master Competition and win the championship.

Moreover, absorbing the head's soul bone carries great risks and involves enduring the torment of fate.

Han Tao used strategy to win twice, but that doesn't mean he can keep winning.

The last resort was a breakthrough in Ye Lingling's treatment skills.

If the Nine-Heart Begonia could heal the spirit, then Han Tao would naturally no longer need to worry about neurasthenia.

However, placing your hopes on others is worse than waiting to die.
