Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 143, page 160: Martial Soul Factor
Huo Qiqiang opened another cabinet, inside which was a row of soul-guided syringes, with the words "Bright Holy Dragon Martial Soul Factor Injection" written on them.

"This is a martial soul factor extracted from Yu Xiaogang's blood and evolved in the most advantageous direction," Huo Qiqiang said.

Both Huo Qiqiang and Qian Renxue knew that the Golden Sacred Dragon had nothing to do with the Golden Dragon; it was a stage in the evolution of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul into the Light Sacred Dragon.

"In other words, as long as Yu Xiaogang obtains one of the martial soul factors here, he can realize his lifelong wish. Not only that, his martial soul will also completely evolve into the Holy Dragon of Light?" Qian Renxue said.

“Yes,” Huo Qiqiang said. Then, he opened another cabinet, which contained a row of prepared martial soul factor syringes with a label that read: Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul Factor Injection.

“The carefree Mu Qingfeng, the Black and White Twin Sacred Dragons, but here, such top-tier martial souls can be mass-produced,” Huo Qiqiang said.

Qian Renxue exclaimed, "You have accomplished something that no one in the Douluo Continent has been able to do in the past 20,000 years."

“I think it’s not so much that no one can do it, but rather that those who can do it won’t go in that direction,” Huo Qiqiang said.

Qian Renxue: "Why?"

Kenneth Fok said, "To develop the kind of technology that you see as a miracle, all he needs is an idea, enough money to invest, and a certain amount of time to bring it to fruition. I don't think it needs to take thousands or tens of thousands of years; maybe a few hundred years will be enough."

He paced around the room, saying as he walked, "You will inherit the top-tier martial soul from your parents. If both of your parents' martial souls are of the same level, then you may inherit one of them, or you may have twin martial souls. Martial souls may mutate, some in a good direction, and some in a bad direction. Isn't this common knowledge in Douluo Continent?"

Qian Renxue nodded.

"But why doesn't anyone ask the most crucial question: why is common sense common sense, and what is the essence behind common sense?" Huo Qiqiang asked rhetorically.

"This"

Huo Qiqiang activated the soul guidance screen, projecting the smallest structure of a person, a double helix structure.

"what is this?"

"This is genetics."

"Gene?"

"It's like a book. A person's book is made up of a part from their father and a part from their mother. Their beauty or ugliness, height or shortness, and other innate factors are all determined by this book, including their martial spirit."

Huo Qiqiang enlarged the spiral, revealing several markers inside: "These are the Martial Soul Factors."

It's similar to the human genetic model in Huo Qiqiang's original world, but with the addition of a book called Martial Soul, and Martial Soul Factor—

A person inevitably inherits two martial soul factors from their father and mother, but the stronger one's martial soul will manifest, while the weaker one's martial soul will remain hidden. Only when the two martial soul factors are evenly matched can twin martial souls possibly appear.

"Twin martial souls, martial soul evolution, martial soul mutation—all of this can be found in this book," Huo Qiqiang concluded.

Qian Renxue was shocked: "That's incredible! Does that mean you can mass-produce a legion of Soul Masters with powerful Martial Souls like Angels, Clear Sky Hammers, and Blue Silver Emperors?" "Martial Soul Factors aren't omnipotent. They can change one's innate constitution, but some factors are determined by nurture. For example, with the Blue Silver Emperor, I can only create Blue Silver King Martial Soul Factors at most," Huo Qiqiang said.

“Now you understand, right? People who are capable of doing this won’t go in this direction,” Huo Qiqiang said.

"Because it's terrifying. If this technology spreads, the order of Douluo Continent will be completely overturned," Qian Renxue said.

Twenty thousand years later, the development of Soul Tools and Battle Armor has enhanced the status of Soul Masters, but it has not changed the situation that the strong will always be strong and the weak will always be weak.

The only forces truly capable of exploring and inventing this technology are the powerful factions in Douluo Continent, such as the Clear Sky Sect and Shrek Academy, which control resources and possess top-tier martial souls.

The question is, would they do something so self-destructive?

If the technology of Martial Soul Factor is promoted, the balance of power will change, and powerful Martial Souls will no longer be monopolized by noble families. This is something that the Brahmins and Kshatriyas of this world cannot tolerate.

"Now, you have witnessed the miracle I have created. From the moment it was born, the world will be changed. I will inevitably overturn the order of this world, and this action will provoke a backlash from the sects and families on the continent. What will your Spirit Hall choose?" Huo Qiqiang asked.

“The enemy you face is also the enemy of our Spirit Hall, so my choice is naturally to follow you,” Qian Renxue said. “I also want to see what kind of era you will create.”

"Wise choice."

After the Spirit Hall made its choice, Huo Qiqiang said, "Spirit Factor is the core of changing this world, but we can't let go of Soul Tools either. You should have mastered the technology of making Soul Tools, right?"

"I know a little bit," Qian Renxue said.

"A basic understanding is fine. From this moment on, start promoting soul tools in your Spirit Hall," Huo Qiqiang said.

After arranging matters for the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue left. Meanwhile, Xue Di, who had seen off two students, returned.

"The makeshift team on Flanders' side is already set up, and we can't fall behind here," Huo Qiqiang said. "Now it's time to establish the Starfire Academy. Our academy doesn't value talent, only ambition. We only recruit commoner soul masters. As long as they have lofty ambitions, what does it matter if they have a useless martial soul? We'll accept them without hesitation. Especially those ordinary people like Mu Yuanfang and Luo Xingqi who are dissatisfied with the existing order but have no ability to resist. The more of these people, the better. We'll just hand them a knife!"

"I will establish Starfire Academy as quickly as possible," Xue Di said.

"Let's use the money generously sponsored by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to establish the Starfire Academy," Huo Qiqiang said.

Having prepared for many years, Xue Di and his group certainly didn't lack the money to establish an academy. But wouldn't it be more enjoyable to spend idiots' money to cultivate idiot enemies than to spend their own money?
Huo Qiqiang was eager to know what Ning Fengzhi would think when he learned the truth.

With the Spirit Hall above and the Starfire Academy below, sandwiched between the three major sects and the two great empires, and the Body Sect in the center, Huo Yuhao already had a preliminary plan for the future.

Having been reborn, Huo Yuhao not only wants to repay Tang San for what he once suffered, but also wants to complete the task he couldn't finish in his previous life: to carry out sweeping reforms of this distorted world.
