Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 158 Difference
"With such a powerful team configuration, it should be more than enough to hunt a hundred thousand year old soul beast~"

Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself.

Because they had a destination, the group of five people and one beast did not stop for long on the way and arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest in just six days.

In the middle of the forest, several people were walking slowly. Fire Meow Meow had grown to the size of a cat and was now dozing lazily with its eyes closed in Yu Keke's arms.

"Sir, I wonder what soul beast's soul rings your two sisters are trying to hunt?"

Yue Guan knew about the spirit rings of Yu Keke and Zhu Zhuqing. Although the former was about to reach level 40, he had only absorbed two spirit rings.

He wondered if it was because the soul ring of the soul beast that the little loli Yu Keke wanted to absorb was relatively rare, which was why she had not yet obtained the third soul ring.

Little did they know that it was because Yu Keke's soul power level had increased rapidly in recent days, and she had also received the blessing of spiritual marrow, that her soul power level seemed to be somewhat out of line with her soul ring.

Nine-year-old Yu Keke’s soul power level is almost catching up with Zhu Zhuqing, not to mention those of her age, who are probably still hovering around level 20.

"Zhu Qing, do you have any requirements for absorbing the soul rings of soul beasts?"

Kong turned and looked at Zhu Zhuqing. She was a quick attack type, so it would be best for her to find a soul beast that was more compatible with her martial soul attributes, so as to maximize her overall strength.

"Your Majesty, my martial soul is the Nether Spirit Cat. I want to absorb a spirit ring that can increase my speed and attack power."

"Ghost Cat?" The ghost beside him spoke at the right time.

"Yes."

"Then you can absorb the soul rings of soul beasts with the ability to confuse or increase speed, such as soul beasts like the ghost tiger."

"Ghost Tiger...I think it's okay."

Yue Guan pondered for a moment, "The Ghost Tiger is known for its terrifying speed and attack power, which is very suitable for Sister Zhuqing's martial spirit."

"And its talent is Shadow Clone, which can confuse the enemy at critical moments in battle, making it impossible for the enemy to distinguish the real one from the fake."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded upon hearing this. The suggestions of the two Titled Douluo seemed to be very consistent with her own martial soul.

"Zhu Qing, what do you think of the ghost tiger?"

Kong looked at Zhu Zhuqing and let her decide which spirit ring to absorb.

Although the ghost tiger has strange movements and speed, it is still easy for their team to catch it.

"Your Majesty, the ghost tiger soul beast is very suitable for me." Zhu Zhuqing responded.

"Okay, Keke..." Kong nodded slightly, then wanted to ask Yu Keke, but then he thought that it would be better for him to think about it for the little girl. If he asked, he would just listen to his brother...

"I listen to my brother."

Kong had only said half of his words when Yu Keke, as if sensing something, answered directly in a playful manner.

"You girl..." Kong touched Coco's head lovingly.

"Coco is so cute, just as cute as little Kelli."

Paimon thought of the little sun that had escaped. He was enthusiastic, cheerful, generous and friendly, but a little naughty, and his only thought was to fry fish...

"Paimon is cute too." Sora said to Paimon.

"Hey? Of course I know I'm cute~"

Paimeng put her hands on her hips and replied proudly.

"Yeah! Paimon is super cute too." Yu Keke nodded in agreement.

"Hehe~"

Although Paimeng is sunny, he still feels a little embarrassed when facing Yu Keke's innocent eyes and compliments.

"It's a bit difficult to decide on Keke's martial soul..." Getting back to the point, Kong frowned, still unable to think of what kind of soul ring to let Yu Keke absorb.

"Sir, what is Coco's martial spirit?"

The ghost asked.

"Her martial spirit is similar to yours..."

"Same as mine?"

Guimei was stunned and looked at Yu Keke again, but he couldn't understand the meaning of the empty words.

Her own martial soul is a ghost, but this little sister doesn't look gloomy at all. On the contrary, with a pair of small animal ears, it would be more appropriate to say that she has a beast 2 martial soul.

"Yes, she is just like you, with a true spirit."

"My true martial soul? What kind of martial soul is this..."

Gui Mei, who was already confused, became even more bewildered. It was the first time he heard the term "self-spirit".

And this gentleman also said that he also has a body spirit. Isn't his spirit a ghost?

He looked at Kong with some doubt and eagerness, as if he wanted to know what this so-called original martial soul meant.

Sora also noticed his curiosity and explained:

"The spirit of the soul master's body is transformed into a spirit of his own body parts or physical characteristics, but it can be just a part, or the whole body can be a spirit of his own.

This is a very special martial spirit, I also saw it in a record."

Kong roughly explained the definition of the original martial spirit.

"Body parts..."

Guimei looked down at himself and found that there didn't seem to be any part of his body that resembled the specialised martial spirit that this gentleman had mentioned?
"Well, although you and Coco both have original martial spirits, hers is a mutated original martial spirit, while yours is a transformed original martial spirit from your soul characteristics."

Kong's words made Guimei feel as if a string was plucked in his mind.

I used to think that my martial soul was a ghost, but the word "ghost" only exists in legends and I have never seen such a thing in reality.

Due to the hidden and strange nature of his martial soul, he named it "ghost". He did not expect that after hearing the explanation of this adult today, he would discover the true origin of his martial soul.

"Sir, what is the difference between this body spirit and other types of spirits?"

"According to the records, the probability of a soul master awakening his true martial soul is extremely low, which also makes the true martial soul an extremely special and powerful existence among martial souls."

"However, awakening the main body martial soul is quite demanding, and the cultivation process is more difficult than other martial souls."

The ghost nodded in sympathy.

How did he cultivate to become the Titled Douluo he is today? The hard work he put in was much greater than that of people at the same level.

After reaching the level of Titled Douluo, he discovered that his body had reached a state of soul power saturation, but he could not increase his soul power any further no matter what he did. Could this also be a difficulty in the cultivation of his martial soul?

Gui Mei was a little uncertain and spoke again:

"Sir, is there any difference between the cultivation of the main body spirit and other spirits?"

"Yes, the main body martial soul emphasizes the dual development of physical and mental strength. If either of these two cannot keep up, it will make the second awakening extremely difficult, or even stay at that stage forever."

"But these are all what I saw in the records. I don't know the details very well. This is why I am hesitant about absorbing Keke's spirit ring."

Kong shook his head slightly. There were too few relevant records in the memory fragments, and he couldn't quite recall them.
