Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 9: Yu Xiaogang's Defense Breaks
Speaking of Yu Xiaogang, after his paper caused a small stir in the Spirit Hall, it was distributed through the Spirit Newspaper and quickly spread throughout the continent. A few days later, the spirit master world was in an uproar.

Many soul masters with a short inheritance learned for the first time that the upper limit of soul rings is so closely related to physical fitness.

Many soul masters who took several years of practice to reach the tenth level, did not dare to take risks, and hurriedly absorbed the first ring in ten years, now regret it now.

According to the paper, although they are civilian soul masters, they can definitely withstand the hundred-year soul ring. If they had known this, they would have sold everything they had to find someone to help them hunt souls.

Notting College.

Yu Xiaogang lives in a small town, but he has great ambitions. He has been subscribing to the Wuhun Newspaper and studying the cutting-edge Wuhun theories published by the Wuhun Palace.

Today, he got the newspaper from the security guard, ignored the contemptuous looks from passers-by, kept a zombie face, and steadily returned to the dormitory full of books.

Yu Xiaogang sat down at the desk and unfolded the newspaper facing the sunlight coming in through the window. Under the golden light, a line of large characters was very conspicuous.

Shocking! The maximum age limit for a Soul Master's first soul ring is actually wrong!

——Damu

Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, then said with disdain, "Ridiculous, just trying to attract attention."

But he felt a little uneasy. If it was really a publicity stunt, the Spirit Hall would never allow it to be printed into a newspaper and sold.

He read on at a glance:

"Through observations of beast spirits and weapon spirits, the former significantly increases physical strength. Throughout history, those who have broken through the upper limit of spirit ring age were mostly spirit masters with beast spirits. The only difference between the two is physical fitness, which is sufficient evidence."

"Master Yu Xiaogang, who comes from a famous family, has awakened half of his innate soul power, but he was able to absorb two hundred-year soul rings. This is related to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's medicinal bath that can enhance physical strength."

"Historically, the upper limit of the spirit ring lifespan a spirit master can endure has been constantly increasing. Even as spirit masters continue to give birth to offspring, providing better resources with each generation, the vitality of heaven and earth is also increasing, which in turn enhances the basic qualities of spirit masters. The optimal spirit ring configuration for a spirit master will also continue to change."

……

As the evidence was listed one by one, especially the one that specifically named a certain master, Yu Xiaogang's face turned black and he slammed his hands on the table.

"How dare you step on me to become famous, you bastard!"

Yu Xiaogang was furious and saw through Gula's sinister intentions at a glance. After all, he still had some fame in the eyes of ordinary soul masters. No matter whether it was a good reputation or a bad reputation, at least people remembered him.

Yu Xiaogang crumpled up the newspaper, vented his anger, gasped, and gradually calmed down. He unfolded the newspaper again and saw the author column.

"Da Mu, who is that? It's probably just a code name. Humph, he doesn't dare to reveal his real name. He must be a cowardly person."

Yu Xiaogang spoke with contempt, but he felt a little nervous in his heart.

This article alone denied one of his ten core theories of soul masters and also indirectly disparaged the others.

Yu Xiaogang was afraid of seeing his theory being discredited again, so he firmly believed: "It's just a paper, I can write it too. I wanted to find a disciple to prove my theory, but now it seems I have to make my voice heard."

He found paper and ink, thought for a moment, and wrote down the title: On the Research of Six Hundred and Forty-Seven Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters and the Development Path of Plant-Type Soul Masters.

"Hmph, I'm afraid no one except me would study the useless martial spirit Blue Silver Grass. Some training methods require time to verify. Who knows whether what you said is true or not? Only by studying the specific martial spirit route can we have an immediate impact on the spirit master."

Yu Xiaogang smiled contentedly, inspiration flowed like a spring, and he wrote as if possessed by a god.

"Blue Silver Grass is naturally weak. If you want to become a combat spirit master, the best route is to add a poison attribute spirit ring and follow the control route..."

"Similarly, plant-type spirit masters have weak attack power, and they can also add poison-attribute spirit rings to compensate for this. Most control-type spirit masters can also refer to this principle..."

...Gula didn't know how much psychological damage the paper had caused to Yu Xiaogang. One month after the paper was published, the system finally settled the reward for the first paper.

[Deduction completed. Tens of thousands of people have read the host's paper, which will influence hundreds of thousands of new trainers. The impact is far-reaching. Congratulations to the host for making his voice heard in the research community. Overall rating: S.]

[Get rewards: points +1000, 1 mythical beast equipment voucher, 1 mythical beast skill voucher.]

Gula couldn't help rubbing his hands together, his excitement mixed with trepidation. "A thousand points is enough for me to draw ten prizes, or redeem five Dittos. Which one should I choose?"

Gula had seen the prize pool. After the game became a system, the prize pool was all-encompassing and anything could be drawn out. It was like a koi fish, and even Arceus could be drawn out with one shot.

Of course, now that it has become a reality, it is not certain whether Arceus will obey or not.

So to be safe, it is safer and more stable to use points to purchase items directly. Although it is more expensive overall, at least you don’t have to rely on luck.

As for the Ditto in the system, it is different from the one in the official game. It is not a Pokémon at all, but more like a synthetic material that can replace the personality and individual value of Pokémon.

When exchanging for Ditto, the personality and individual values ​​are random, but the total attribute of the individual values ​​will not be lower than 90 points, which guarantees the lower limit.

Gula opened the God-level Eye of Identification and looked at the martial soul in the mirror.

[Grawo: Level 13]

[Attribute: Ground]

[Qualification: God-level]

[Individual stats: Health 18, Attack 29, Defense 15, Special Attack 20, Special Defense 16, Speed ​​21. Total 119.]

[Character: Cautious (-10% special attack, +10% special defense)]

[Skills: Bodybuilding, Grimace, Digging...]

[Evaluation: One of the three sacred beasts from the Hoenn region. If it grows steadily, it will be able to master the authority of the Lord of the Earth.]

Pokémon are divided into racial values ​​and individual values, both of which are related to the attributes of the Pokémon as it grows.

According to Gula's speculation, when converted to the Douluo Continent, martial souls can be regarded as various Pokémon. The same martial souls still have different talents, which means that their individual values ​​are different.

This is not just a talent in soul power, but more specifically a comprehensive talent in the body, including cell activity, muscle strength and development potential, bone hardness, skin toughness and resistance, and many other aspects.

The most important thing is that the individual value is reflected in the martial soul, which means that Su Ming cannot change the martial soul, but he can change the talents of his soul masters through Ditto.

Let them become the best among the same kind of martial spirits.

"Even with my talent, I only have 119 individual points, which is far from the maximum value of 186. I'm just an average talent at best. Well, an average talent among Groudon."

Gula will definitely not mind that his talents are getting better. In the game, the main team must raise their individual values ​​to gold, which means an individual value of 150 or above.

In reality, he also wants to try it.

Gula put his hands together and said, "Great Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Tathagata Buddha, please bless me with great luck and a perfect shot!"

Since points were not needed elsewhere for the time being, Gula went all in and spent all 1,000 points.

There was a burst of light before my eyes, and five Dittos with different background colors jumped out.
