Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 171 Zhang Wei's Transformation (Please Subscribe!!!)

Zhang Wei wasn't scared.

Because of Su Ming's prior assurance, Zhang Wei knew that his safety could be guaranteed.

However, after the meeting the day before yesterday, Zhang Wei returned to his normal life as a spy.

If Su Ming hadn't informed him beforehand, he wouldn't have known about Mingdetang's crackdown on the black market. If the store manager had left and there had been no news for two days, he would have thought everything was normal, and he wouldn't have been so clear-headed when he was being besieged.

But in fact, he realized his mistake after Su Ming reminded him.

He has a clear understanding of the entire situation.

The store manager had received advance notice and then left alone, leaving Zhang Wei and the other employees to keep Mingdetang in check.

Yes, Mingde Hall may seem to be cracking down on evil soul masters, but it also intends to clean up the spies in the black market. It definitely needs Shrek spies. If it fails to catch even one, then there will be a deeper purge.

Shrek cannot be gambled on.

To facilitate spies in deeper positions, they had to sacrifice a few minor figures.

Zhang Wei even held onto hope for the store manager, frantically searching for clues over the past two days. He felt that the store manager still had a shred of humanity and had left them some clues.

Unfortunately, even with the answers in hand, I couldn't find the questions.

Zhang Wei wasn't afraid of being surrounded and attacked; he just felt disheartened.

This is Shrek.

On the surface, they appear so upright and noble, but in private, they are filled with darkness and filth.

"To put it bluntly, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Shrek Academy's existence does not prove the brilliance of humanity and order, but rather blatantly represents the survival of the fittest."

Su Ming stood aside and explained to Zhang Wei.

"They are strong, so all the geniuses of Douluo Three Kingdoms will gather in their hands. What they need is not to cultivate ordinary people into geniuses, but to cultivate geniuses into geniuses."

"There has never been any Shrek Academy that is good at cultivating geniuses. They just gained an advantage ten thousand years ago and had a strong foundation, so they can continue to become stronger because of their strength."

"Within the academy, the law of the jungle prevails. Even with the same strength, all treatment is tied to talent, and in reality, it depends on future strength."

"You've ended up at Shrek Academy, but you're still one of those who get abandoned because they won't discover your talents."

"Zhang Wei, unleash your soul skill! I've never seen it before."

Zhang Wei is currently at a critical juncture in making a decision.

Having been betrayed by Shrek, he was now filled with thoughts of revenge, but his fear of Shrek prevented him from making a decision.

Su Ming's last words made his heart tremble.

Zhang Wei no longer hesitated.

He gritted his teeth and made the decision.

Four spirit rings—white, yellow, purple, and black—rose from beneath his feet.

All four spirit rings shone brightly at the same time.

"First Soul Skill: Fearless!"

"Second Soul Skill: Unyielding Courage!"

"Third Soul Skill, Tiger Soul Vajra Transformation!"

"Fourth Soul Skill: All Things Dissolve!"

Su Ming watched Zhang Wei's expression change from hesitation to determination, his gaze from wandering to firmness, and finally to a sense of intimidation, and couldn't help but marvel.

The soul skills of the Courageous Martial Soul are indeed related to willpower, and Zhang Wei also obtained such soul skills in his first three soul skills. The first soul skill, Fearless, has an unprecedentedly firm will, which can eliminate negative emotions such as tension and fear, and at the same time increases all his attacks and defenses by 20%.

The second soul skill, "Courageous as a Feather," increases all attributes by 50%. When combined with the fourth soul skill, it can quickly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore soul power and heal injuries.

The third soul skill, Tiger Soul Vajra Transformation, is like being possessed by a white tiger, increasing physical attributes by 200%. Tiger souls condense above the head, creating a deterrent effect on enemies with lower spiritual power.

The fourth soul skill, "Dissolve All Things," enhances digestive ability.

"Very good. Remember how you feel now. Your martial soul has enhanced your will. This shouldn't be temporary; it should be permanent. When your own will can become as strong as it is now, your martial soul skill will further amplify your will until your will is infinitely powerful."

Zhang Wei's body trembled.

Clearly, he hadn't considered that.

Shrek Academy had never even considered this.

"This is the original spirit. Ultimately, all cultivation still depends on the spirit master himself. He must cultivate his will and then combine it with the effect of the spirit to achieve such a cycle of feedback."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei nodded solemnly.

"Sect Master, I understand!"

At this moment, the obstacles in his heart were broken, he received Su Ming's true teachings, learned the true direction of his martial soul cultivation, and gained true courage.

Shrek is nothing to fear!

As long as I am strong enough, I don't need to be timid or hesitant!
This is the lesson the Patriarch taught me.

Su Ming raised an eyebrow.

"Your will seems to be directly related to your strength."

Zhang Wei also sensed the changes within himself and closed his eyes to contemplate them.

"That's right. I just broke through my will. Although the increase in my first soul skill is still 20%, it's not based on 100, but on 150.

A value of 20% is not high, even for the first soul skill. It's quite low, especially considering that this is a soul skill that integrates willpower into soul power for explosive power.

However, the mechanism of this soul skill is extremely exaggerated; the so-called amplification includes the effects of all subsequent soul skills.

"Unleash your will, develop your will around your first soul skill, and you will reap unexpected surprises when your martial soul awakens for the second time."

Su Ming said this with a hint of envy in his voice.

The second awakening of the main body's martial soul brings surprises. If the main body's soul master can explore their soul skills to a certain extent, they can use the second awakening of the martial soul to mutate the soul rings and increase their lifespan.

In the past, Su Ming had already completed the second awakening of his martial soul, but unfortunately he did not receive the effects of this mutation.

Su Ming guessed that this was due to the spirit.

During the Douluo Continent III era, he also inquired with Mu Ye about the effects of the second awakening of his martial soul and received a more specific answer.

The soul spirit attaches itself to the soul master, which is essentially the source of the soul master's essence being pressed onto the soul ring. Therefore, the mutation of the soul ring must first drive the improvement of the soul spirit.

This is very difficult, even more difficult than simply obtaining a mutated spirit ring.

Therefore, when a Soul Master with a Soul Spirit undergoes a second awakening, the Soul Rings rarely mutate, unless the Soul Spirit itself is at a point where it is easily stimulated, such as 9,900 years ago.

Because of this limitation of spirits, Su Ming does not plan to fuse with spirits for his fourth or even fifth spirit ring.

What if the soul skill you obtain is suitable as the core of your own system, and you are able to develop it to its full potential?

Having achieved their goal, Su Ming led Zhang Wei away from the black market.

After the main sect splits into branches, it should be able to produce another capable assistant.
