Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 58 How to Obtain Extra Skills
dorm room.

Su Wen sat cross-legged on the bed.

Golden light flowed around him, as if he were practicing a cultivation technique, but in reality he was staying in his spiritual world.

Inside the purple Poké Ball.

It was another vast world. Unlike the white of the past ten years, the purple field, symbolizing the millennium, was the size of several stadiums. The vegetation was lush, and the terrain varied depending on the soul beast.

For example, inside Hurricane's Poké Ball are mostly ancient trees that block out the sun, like the Starry Sky Forest, where it can jump and play freely. Inside Ice Emperor's Poké Ball is a vast expanse of snow and ice, like the far north.

now.

Hurricane, Little Gold, and Ice Emperor were sitting beside Su Wen. This was Little Gold's Poké Ball, filled with towering mountains and rolling waves, and the climate at the mountaintop was quite mild.

Having just awakened from absorbing the energy of silkworm molts, they were gathered here by Su Wen.

I glanced at the hurricane's stats.

【Storm Baboon】

[Level: Level 39]

【Strength: 111.4 (18.0)】

Speed: 261.4 (22.4)

Endurance: 126.4 (25.4)

[Defense: 139.1 (40.1)]

[Skills: Gale Blade (Cyan), Revitalizing Wind (Cyan)]

【Attribute: Gale (Top Level)】

[Potential: 8 (Excellent)]

Next Evolution Stage: Hurricane Demon Ape

Logically speaking, the base stats of a soul beast that is about 5,000 years old should be around 50. However, as time goes by, its stats have increased from about two or three times that of a soul beast of the same level to more than five times that of an ordinary soul beast!
Although this involved the flesh and blood of soul beasts and the enhancement of the Heavenly Dream Silkworm's molt, the obvious changes seemed to occur gradually after the transformation from [Wind Baboon] to [Storm Baboon].

Bloodline!
It seems that as it advances, Hurricane's bloodline has also undergone significant changes.

Su Wen nodded slightly.

My guess was correct. The theory of bloodline is very popular in both human and beast circles in Douluo Continent. After all, martial souls are inherited through bloodlines, and the innate power of soul beasts is naturally the same.

Fortunately, the final advancement was not to transform into a dragon.

Otherwise, in the end, looking at a group of dragons who have nothing to do with the names of the people in question, Su Wen would probably be heartbroken.

That's good enough, a hundred flowers blooming.

"As for the Ice Emperor..."

【Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion】

[Level: Level 39]

【Strength: 241.4 (18.0)】

Speed: 123.4 (22.4)

Endurance: 132.4 (25.4)

[Defense: 259.1 (40.1)]

[Skills: Eternal Frozen Domain (Azure), Ice Claw (Azure)]

Main Attribute: Ice (Ultimate) Secondary Attribute: Poison (—)

[Potential: 7 (Peerless)]

Next evolution stage: Ice Emperor Scorpion

The Ice Emperor's appearance did not change significantly; at most, its eyes became more emerald green, like crystal. Even its size only increased by less than half a meter, making it appear smaller compared to the two giants next door whose average height exceeded five meters.

Perhaps it's because of the noble nature of mages, but the Ice Jade Scorpion's attacks are not like those of melee-type soul beasts such as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Its low-level Ice Jade Scorpion is more inclined towards melee combat, while those that have advanced to more than ten thousand years can mobilize the power of ice and snow in the surrounding world. The Ice Explosion Technique and the Eternal Frozen Domain are also techniques that only soul beasts over ten thousand years old have a chance to learn.

According to the original text, its size will likely shrink after 100,000 years; it's just unknown whether it will shrink to the size of a palm after a million years...

Its stats are better than the Wind Baboon's, making it quite powerful in melee combat. After all, Su Wen originally used it as a strong attacker, but with Little Gold filling the tank role, it took a backseat and became a mage. As for poison...

Su Wen frowned.

The poison attribute (normal) on the panel suddenly disappeared not long ago, seemingly because something changes after breaking through level 40.

It should be considered an advanced level.

Extreme poison?

He didn't expect to advance to that level, but even if he advanced to the level of a hurricane's gale, which was second only to the ultimate attribute, he would be quite satisfied.

Currently, only Ice Emperor possesses dual attributes. Little Gold and Hurricane remain unchanged. Su Wen guesses that they must have possessed them before, or even still have a small amount of residue. If they didn't have them before, they would probably be single-attribute for life.

Therefore, creating dual attributes artificially is probably difficult, unless there is an extremely rare opportunity, such as obtaining a rare herb...

"But... a magical herb?"

Su Wen pondered for a moment.

Speaking of the magical herb, why not seize this opportunity?

The Sunset Forest was nearly destroyed because of these few immortal herbs—poisonous fog. Even Yan Shaozhe found it quite difficult to pass through the thousands of Azure Phosphorous Seven Wonders.

However, in the original work, these poisonous flowers have a fatal weakness: they are afraid of the cold, especially extreme ice, which is their natural enemy. What is a bit awkward is that there is not a single elder in the entire Sea God Pavilion who is an ice-type, and even among the teachers, there are very few with ice attributes. There are only a few in the outer courtyard, and they are all Soul Kings and Soul Emperors.

I'll go take a look when I have time.

Anyway, Sunset Forest, just like its name, became a lingering glow in the Douluo Continent. The entire forest was almost ruined by poisonous miasma. There were no strong people around, and the only problem was the poisonous miasma, which he had somehow managed to overcome...

Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear

[Level: Level 39]

【Strength: 451.4 (18.0)】

Speed: 123.4 (22.4)

Endurance: 232.4 (25.4)

[Defense: 479.1 (40.1)]

[Skill: Dark Gold Terrorclaw (Brown)]

【Attribute: Gold (Ultimate)】

[Potential: 8 (Excellent)]

Next evolutionary stage: Behemoth

Its offensive and defensive capabilities remain abnormal, exceeding those of other soul beasts of the same level by more than nine times. Coupled with its even more abnormal skill—[Dark Gold Terror Claw]—it could probably hold its own against a 50,000-year-old soul beast.

Fifty thousand years is enough to rival a human Soul Saint.

Logically speaking, in the upcoming Continental Soul Master Tournament, it seems that even the strongest team leaders are only at the Soul Emperor level.

Only in the major tournament six years later, due to inflation, did a few Soul Saints emerge.

However, there's one exception: Soul Skills...

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw is indeed impressive, a brown-level Soul Skill, second only to the highest-level Deep Blue.

But it's a bit too simplistic.

Even if he had one or two more yellow skills, he would still think it was good.

"How do I add skills?" Su Wen asked, puzzled. It had been five years since he awakened his martial soul, but apart from refreshing skills through advancement, he had never discovered any other way to acquire skills.

Humans acquire soul skills through soul rings.

Soul beasts, on the other hand, mostly possess this ability in their bloodline, which is activated when they reach a certain age of cultivation. Could it be... that they need some kind of special training?

and many more!

Su Wen suddenly thought of something.

Soul bone!

Besides acquiring spirit rings, humans can also absorb spirit bones to gain unique skills. Can spirit beasts also acquire skills by digesting spirit bones?!
