Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 280 Soul Research and Development Plan

After deciding on a method to find the Dragon King's bones, everyone's expressions suddenly relaxed.

Xuan Zi said with a smile:

"Wulin, do you have anything else to say? If not, we can adjourn this meeting."

Tang Wulin's return made him in a good mood and his appetite increased, especially after learning about Tang Wulin's experiences in the past few years.

He couldn't wait to have a good meal after the meeting.

However, Tang Wulin nodded seriously.

"I do have something else I want to say, but that has to be said by Yutong."

As he spoke, he made a gesture to Huo Yutong, indicating that she should come and explain.

Huo Yutong stood up and said to the elders,

"Due to some coincidences, Wu Lin and I have created a brand new way to help spirit masters break through. If this technology can be gradually developed and improved in the future, it may be able to replace traditional spirit rings and ease the conflict between humans and spirit beasts."

"What?!" Xuan Zi was about to stand up and leave, but when he heard this, he quickly gave up the idea and urged earnestly: "Tell me more."

As the first and most critical line of defense against the Star Dou Great Forest, Shrek always has a bad relationship with the other side.

If he could successfully ease the relationship with the other party, Xuanzi would naturally be more than happy about it.

Huo Yutong looked towards Tang Wulin.

"Wulin, let Xiaohong and Xiaolan out."

Little Red, Little Blue...

Tang Wulin's eyelids twitched.

When did Yutong give the two dragon kings the same nickname as the Dragon King of Light?

But the magical thing was that he didn't feel any rejection from the two Dragon Kings. They even seemed quite happy.

Then Tang Wulin stretched out his hand, and two giant dragons suddenly appeared in the hall of the Sea God Pavilion, making the hall suddenly seem a little crowded.

Xuan Zi's expression suddenly changed.

"they are--"

He did not forget that it was these two guys who dragged Tang Wulin into the Dragon Valley.

Tang Wulin nodded and said:

"They are the dragon souls of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings. They are also the source of my fourth and fifth soul rings. They are now my soul partners."

As he spoke, he released his Blue Silver Emperor's spirit ring.

Black, black, black, red and blue, the unreasonable combination of spirit rings appeared again, making the elders' eyes stare straight.

They were all old men who had lived for hundreds of years, so they could naturally see that not only was Tang Wulin's fifth soul ring blue, but even his red fourth soul ring was abnormal.

At first glance, this red spirit ring is a hundred thousand year spirit ring, but in fact, the color of a general hundred thousand year spirit ring should be blood red, like that condensed from blood, while Tang Wulin's is fiery red, with a faint golden glow.

Besides, even if it really is a hundred thousand year soul ring, it is somewhat outrageous that the fourth ring can absorb for a hundred thousand years.

Huo Yutong explained:

"As you elders have seen, a soul spirit is a special form of soul ring that preserves the soul of a soul beast and houses it in the soul ring."

"Compared to traditional spirit rings, spirits have many advantages. They require less physical endurance. Powerful spirits can help their masters fight, and they can provide multiple spirit rings depending on their age. These are all major advantages of spirits."

"And the most important difference from traditional spirit rings is that if the spirit beast that is the spirit is willing, the spirit can be passed on."

"What?!" Not only the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, but even Tang Wulin was shocked.

He had not heard of such a function beforehand.

Apparently, during the two years that he buried the dragon, Alex had also made new progress in his research on souls.

Don’t underestimate this last function. If what Huo Yutong said is true, then a soul may be able to be passed down for hundreds or thousands of years in a large family. This is absolutely desirable for both soul beasts and soul masters.

Xuan Zi swallowed his saliva and asked:

"You mentioned so many advantages, is there really no disadvantage at all?"

"Of course there is." Huo Yutong nodded, "That is, the most important thing about the soul is the will of the soul beast. If the soul beast itself is unwilling, the soul ritual will hardly succeed."

After hearing this, the expressions of the elders in Poseidon Pavilion calmed down a little.

This shortcoming may sound insignificant, but it is actually very fatal.

The conflict between soul beasts and soul masters is irreconcilable, and the number of soul beasts willing to voluntarily transform into soul masters' souls is really too small.

Theoretically, only soul beasts that are about to die would be willing to do this, but on the one hand, it is difficult to explain to the other party the specific effects of the soul ritual, and on the other hand, where would so many soul beasts that are about to die come from?

If we want to expand this technology, we have to——

"Cooperate with the Star Forest?"

After hearing what Zhang Lexuan said, Huo Yutong nodded.

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

Only a fierce beast that can control all soul beasts can convince the soul beasts to cooperate in the ritual.

But Mr. Song shook his head.

"No, we can't look for them. You guys are still thinking too simply."

Zhang Lexuan frowned and said:

"Mr. Song, although we have always had conflicts with the Xingdou Great Forest, this is obviously beneficial to both of us. I believe they should be willing to cooperate with us."

After all, as Huo Yutong said just now, a soul spirit may provide multiple soul rings. Traditional soul rings do not have this function. If soul spirits spread, in theory, the number of soul beasts that die at the hands of soul masters can be greatly reduced.

"So you think too simply." Song Lao said calmly: "Do you really think those beasts are so easy to talk to? Don't forget that the premise of the soul ritual is voluntary. How can there be so many soul beasts in the world who are willing to become soul masters' soul rings? And the number of soul rings required by top soul masters is exactly nine. The soul can't completely solve the conflict between us. It will only make humans stronger, and then hunt them. Do you think the beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest will allow this to happen?"

Zhang Lexuan was speechless.

What Elder Song said was correct. Soul spirits seemed to be beneficial to both parties, but in fact, the benefits they could bring to soul masters were far greater than those of soul beasts.

If soul beasts agree to cooperate casually, it would be like drinking poison to quench thirst, and all that awaits them is a slow death.

Tang Wulin asked respectfully:

"Then may I ask, Mr. Song, do you have any solution?"

He discovered during the last Holy Spirit Church incident that Elder Song, the current deputy leader of the Sea God Pavilion, had a much higher vision than young people like them, and it would not be wrong to listen to her opinions.

Mr. Song shook his head.

"What can I do? I'm old and useless, and I can't keep up with the times. You should figure out the solution. I can only advise you not to think of shortcuts. Sometimes people need some stupidity."

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong looked at each other and seemed to understand something.

Indeed, they cannot just think of taking shortcuts. If they want to cooperate with soul beasts, the first thing they need should be a completely complete soul system.

As for the completely perfect soul system, we can only wait until Electrolux develops it.
