Douluo Continent: From Internal Martial Arts to the Law of Heaven and Earth

As for what to do if the amplification skill is not a rule-based amplification.

Tang Shan confidently stated: "Based on my experience reading the Douluo Trilogy and some documents I read in the Spirit Hall's collection, all amplification skills are basically rule-based soul skills."

This is what Tang Shan considers the most valuable and most extraordinary part of the Soul Master cultivation system in Douluo Continent.

Even disregarding the fact that a certain Sea God, despite being a God-King, could have all his attributes amplified by 100% by a certain second-level Goddess, the Nine-Colored Goddess, through the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it's clear how valuable the Soul Skills in Douluo Continent are.

In Tangshan's words, what attack skills are you looking for? Amplification skills are the real deal. If one amplification skill isn't enough, how will you deal with a full set of amplification skills?

Lacking in attack skills? No problem. I'll show you what the beauty of numbers is. Watch me break through magic with brute force!

Despite his antics, Tang Shan's thinking was very clear: regardless of attack, defense, or amplification, only rule-based soul skills have value.

For example, a certain "100,000-year-old rogue rabbit, multiple births in one litter, Asura sword sheath" has the invincible golden body soul skill;

For example, the soul skills of "Rakshasa, Love-Brained, Pope" include Immortality and Eternal Wound.

In Tangshan's view, any soul skill that does not have a rule effect is basically not worth acquiring, since these can all be seen as the application of soul power, physical strength or mental power, and many effects can be achieved by researching and creating one's own soul skills.

With a soft thud, the sharp dagger pierced through the wolf's eye, penetrating its brain and striking its vital point.

The gray wolf leader struggled symbolically for a moment, and then completely lost its life.

A few specks of yellow light gathered and finally condensed above the wolf corpse into a bright yellow halo, officially a soul ring with an age of nearly six hundred years.

"Yun Tao, adjust your state, calm your mind and steady your spirit."

Seeing Su Yuntao's impatient expression, Su Haichao quickly reminded him.

Su Yuntao didn't speak. He first closed his eyes, then took several deep breaths, and soon his somewhat excited mood calmed down.

With the spirit possessing him, following the connection in the dark, the spirit ring floated to the top of his head, then quickly shrank and descended, encasing Su Yuntao himself inside the spirit ring.

"Big brother, when you absorb the soul ring, concentrate on absorbing the soul power while strengthening your will. You can also silently recite the amplification soul skill in your mind. Then we'll see what kind of soul skill you get in the end."

Recalling his younger brother's instructions, Su Yuntao did not hesitate, firmly believing in his heart, "I want to amplify my soul skill, I want to amplify my soul skill..."

Su Haichao breathed a sigh of relief upon confirming that his son had absorbed the spirit ring without any problems and that his condition was very stable.

It seems that before the age of the Soul Ring is ten thousand years old, there is no influence from the soul shock of the Soul Beast, which is indeed related to the physical quality of the Soul Master.

Just as Su Haichao was about to rest and protect the Dharma, he was suddenly drawn to the subtle soul power fluctuations emanating from the nearly six-hundred-year-old gray wolf.

His expression changed slightly. He subtly scanned his surroundings to see if anyone else was there. After confirming that there were no other Soul Masters, he decisively cut off the gray wolf's right foreleg, which was radiating Soul Power, from its shoulder. He muttered to himself, "I wonder how this leg will taste. Oh well, I'll cut off another leg and try."

As he spoke, Su Haichao cut off the gray wolf's hind leg.

Then, he pretended to be a normal Soul Master protecting the Dharma, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.

As time ticked by, Su Haichao found himself covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, as if he were under immense, invisible pressure.

Although his physical condition met the requirements and he could fully withstand the energy in the spirit ring, the spirit ring itself was quite large, and it took nearly an hour for Su Yuntao to completely absorb this spirit ring, which was nearly six hundred years old.

As soon as he finished absorbing the nutrients, Su Yuntao jumped up. With his movements, cracking sounds like pimples bursting all over his body came from all over his body, and he also grew much taller.

"Dad, my theory is correct. The soul skill of my first soul ring is an amplification-type soul skill."

Hearing this, Su Haichao, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, was also a little curious and waved his hand.

"Alright, let's talk about the effects of the soul skills as we walk back. This soul hunting operation was relatively fast. Including the round trip, it shouldn't take more than a week. I'm still a little worried about Shanzi being home alone. Let's hurry back."

Chapter 5 Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power, Deferring Soul Bones

"Okay, I also want to see my little brother soon."

After absorbing the spirit ring, Su Yuntao grew much taller. If it weren't for the childish look on his face, he would probably be mistaken for an adult man.

The leather armor he wore gave him a heroic air, and combined with his handsome face, he was quite attractive to girls.

As he quickly caught up with Su Haichao, who had already begun to walk back, he began to talk incessantly about his breakthrough and gains.

……

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, slid down his cheeks, and sprinkled on the ground.

A man from Tangshan wandered through the streets and alleys of Nottingham City at a slow pace, somewhere between jogging and brisk walking.

Ultimately, he still has the body of a three-year-old child. Other sports are not suitable for him, so as not to affect his development. However, brisk walking or jogging are harmless. After all, other children also have these activities. He is just increasing his exercise to make his body healthier.

Tang Shan didn't know exactly what factors determined the amount of innate soul power, but he was certain that poor physical condition and malnutrition would definitely result in low innate soul power.

However, this does not mean that good physical fitness necessarily means having innate soul power.

This speculation in Tangshan originated from that "master" from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. As the young patriarch of the family, he must have had no shortage of various nutrients and medicinal herbs since childhood, but he still only awakened half a level of innate soul power. So the reason for such a low level of awakened soul power is worth pondering.

Based on his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with two other people, as well as the situation of Bei Bei, the great-grandson of the Sea God Pavilion Master and a Limit Douluo in Douluo II, Tang Shan had a vague guess.

Bei Bei's situation in Douluo Continent II is somewhat similar to that of Yu Xiaogang, except that one awakens his martial soul towards the direction of the Holy Dragon of Light, while the other awakens it towards the direction of the Holy Dragon of Gold.

Whether it was due to his own shortcomings or bad luck, Yu Xiaogang's martial soul awakened directly into the Golden Sacred Dragon. However, his physical foundation at the time clearly did not support the awakening in one step. As a result, his innate soul power may have been used to awaken the Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul, and the result was naturally bad. Even if the martial soul was awakened, it was equivalent to a failed awakening, and it also caused his innate soul power to be reduced by half a level.

Unlike Bei Bei in Douluo Continent II, he did not awaken the Holy Dragon of Light in a hasty manner. He simply possessed this potential within him and only fully awakened it when he encountered a soul spirit that was very compatible with him.

Based on the above information, Tangshan made the following judgments regarding Martial Soul Awakening and Innate Soul Power:

First: The strength of a martial soul is related to the nutrition contained in the human body to a certain extent. The amount of innate soul power is related to the strength of the martial soul itself. If the martial soul is normally strong and the human body is well-nourished, the innate soul power will not be bad. If the martial soul is too strong, even if the nutrition is abundant, it may draw innate soul power to maintain its own awakening.

Second: Soul power is ultimately a kind of energy. It cannot be born out of thin air. There must be a transformation process. Before the martial soul is awakened, it cannot absorb the energy between heaven and earth. Therefore, the innate soul power that is transformed can only come from the human body itself. If the nutrition is not enough, no matter how powerful the martial soul is, it will not be able to transform enough innate soul power. You can refer to Tang San for this point.

The original text describes how he only felt that he had encountered a bottleneck after cultivating the Xuan Tian Gong for quite some time, that is, reaching the innate full soul power. This shows that the other party was not originally innate full soul power.

Even though he sensed from his physical prowess that his martial spirit was not weak, Tang Shan still decided to push himself to the limit.

Tang Shan continued selling step by step, feeling the exhaustion coursing through his body, but his expression remained unchanged.

In his view, anyone from the scientific world who comes to a world with extraordinary power and the ability to live forever will definitely be unable to suppress their desire for such power in a short period of time. At the same time, their will will be extremely firm during that period of time, and Tangshan is no exception.

Although he didn't know if his future would slacken with the passage of time, he was certain that his willpower was now probably at its peak, the highest it had been in both of his lifetimes combined.

Physical fatigue is nothing; the yearning for the extraordinary and eternal is enough to suppress any physical discomfort.

When the sun was blazing, Tangshan stopped his workout. His clothes were almost completely soaked with sweat. He went home and took a cold shower.

Squeak!

Tang Shan's ears twitched from the cold while he was being rinsed. Before he could even doubt whether he had misheard, Su Yuntao's shout reached his ears.

"Little brother, we're back."

After a quick shower and changing my clothes, I went outside and saw a young man who was nearly 1.8 meters tall running excitedly towards me, and then he took off into the air.

"Big brother, put me down quickly."

Tang Shan felt extremely awkward being tossed around and caught so high. He tried to struggle in Su Yuntao's hands, but his arms and legs were too short, and his resistance was ineffective.

After another chaotic scene, Tangshan finally landed safely.

Only then did he have time to notice Su Yuntao's changes.

He's grown a lot taller, looking almost like a strong 18-year-old. And the muscles faintly visible on his arms and stomach suggest that the boost from his spirit rings is much greater than I expected.

"Yuntao, Shanzi, come to my room for a moment."

Tang Shan's thoughts were interrupted by Su Haichao's words, who had appeared unnoticed. Su Haichao gestured for the two to follow, and Tang Shan headed upstairs first.

Tang Shan gave his older brother a questioning look, indicating what was wrong with their father. Su Yuntao's reply was simple: he looked innocent, shrugged, and said he didn't know either.

After exchanging glances, the two obediently followed and began to recall if they had done anything outrageous during this time. Their father's expression just now suggested that it wasn't something simple.

Upon entering Su Haichao's room, Tang Shan found it to be rather unpretentious. Besides a bed and a desk, there was a row of bookshelves overflowing with books. Tang Shan had already browsed through the books; most were records of trivial matters concerning the Spirit Hall of Notting City. There were very few books on cultivation, theory, or spirits. After a brief look, Tang Shan lost interest.

At this moment, the curtains in the room had been drawn. Su Haichao mobilized his soul power to activate the soul guide lamp, and a dim yellow light emanated from the soul guide device.

The room, which had been dark because the curtains were drawn, became brighter again.

"Dad, what's the matter that you're so serious about?"

Sensing the somewhat oppressive atmosphere, Su Yuntao spoke first.

"My younger brother is still young, so making mistakes is perfectly normal. There's no need to be so serious about it."

After recalling the events, he confirmed that he had not done anything outrageous during this period. Therefore, his father's seriousness was most likely because his younger brother had made a mistake. Thinking about it, it made sense, since he was only a three-year-old child. Even if he was precocious, making mistakes was normal.

Upon hearing this, Tang Shan was also stunned for a moment. "I made a mistake? No, I'm not a real child."

As Tang Shan thought about it, he suddenly felt a little guilty. He suddenly remembered that he had been arranging a relationship for his older brother a few days ago. It couldn't be that this matter had been exposed, but there was no need to be so serious. He was only doing this for his older brother's own good.

Su Haichao only then realized what was happening, and looked at his two anxious sons in front of him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"What are you thinking? There's another reason why I'm so serious."

As he spoke, he sat cross-legged on the ground, gesturing for the two of them to sit down as well.

At this moment, Tang Shan and Su Haichao finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sat down.

"Father, what is it that makes you so serious?"

Since it wasn't his own problem, Tangshan wasn't flustered and simply asked directly.

Su Haichao didn't speak, but instructed that a blood-soaked foreleg be taken out from the storage bracelet.

The first to react was Su Yuntao: "This isn't the front leg of the gray wolf I killed. Father, why did you bring it back?"

A sudden inspiration struck him, and Tang Shan uttered two words crisply: "Soul Bone".

“That’s right.” Su Haichao nodded, giving his youngest son an approving look while slapping Su Yuntao on the shoulder, silencing the boy’s impending exclamation.

"soul……"

After a long while, once Su Yuntao had calmed down, Su Haichao took out a dagger from his soul tool and began cutting from the incision point.

Soon, a palm-sized bone resembling a human right arm appeared in his hand.

Looking at the bones that radiated a warm glow, Su Yuntao and Su Haichao in the room were filled with fervor, and Tang Shan was also somewhat amazed.

What amazed him was not the soul bone itself, but the fact that a soul bone could be obtained from a hundred-year-old soul beast.

According to the later settings of a certain third generation, the so-called soul bone is actually formed from the soul core or the prototype of the soul core of a soul beast. Since a 100,000-year-old soul beast must have a soul core, the probability of a 100,000-year-old soul beast producing a soul bone must be 100%. As for the so-called torture of soul beasts to increase the soul bone drop rate, Tang Shan seriously suspects that it is purely torture of soul beasts to make them explode and forcibly force them to condense the prototype of the soul core.

It can be said that every soul beast under 100,000 years old that can produce soul bones is a genius among soul beasts. If they can grow up smoothly, they should have no problem becoming a 10,000-year-old soul beast, if not 100,000 years old.

In order to condense the prototype of a soul core, the soul power in the body must reach a certain level, which generally leads to a higher rate of soul bone explosion for soul beasts with higher age.

The soul bone that Su Haichao and his group obtained actually came from a gray wolf. This soul beast, which had neither age nor bloodline, was extremely rare in Tang Shan. It might even be the only one of its kind.

"Yun Tao, this is a soul bone obtained from the gray wolf you killed. Absorbing the soul rings and soul bones of the same soul beast will have the best effect. You should absorb it now. I will protect you."

"Father, why don't we leave it to our younger brother? I've already absorbed a spirit ring that exceeds the absorption time of an average spirit master, and the improvement I've gained is enough. Our younger brother's future is still uncertain, so let's leave it to him."
