Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

Chapter 113 Fourth Soul Skill - The Person Remains the Same!

1.

"The people are still the same!"

With a faint smile on his face, Zhao Tao explained the effect of his fourth soul skill in a deep voice!

"The person remains the same"—this is the fourth soul skill Zhao Tao obtained after fusing with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul!

Although it doesn't sound like a particularly awesome soul skill, it actually feels rather ordinary.

However, after learning about its effects in detail, Zhao Tao had to admit in his heart that it was indeed an incredibly powerful soul skill, and could even be called a bug-level soul skill!

The effect of the Soul Skill "People Remain the Same" can be simply described as a brief rewind of time, allowing individuals or even the battle situation to return to a point in the past!

For example, when Zhao Tao was in battle, his body was severely injured by the enemy's powerful soul skill.

Then, he can activate the "People as Before" soul skill to rewind time and reset his state to before he was injured!

After the state is reset, all injuries Zhao Tao suffered in battle will disappear, and he will be restored to his full strength!

Of course, due to the conservation of energy, the soul power consumed by the "People as Before" soul skill itself will not be reversed!

To put it in simpler terms, for example, Zhao Tao has 100 points of soul power. He consumes 20 points of soul power to activate the "People as Before" soul skill, resetting his own status.

Therefore, after the reset, his remaining soul power will still be 80 points, not 100 points.

The 20 points of soul power consumed by the "People Remain the Same" soul skill are a real loss that cannot be reversed.

Therefore, the idea of ​​exploiting bugs and infinitely refilling cups is impossible.

but.

Zhao Tao keenly noticed that although the soul power consumed by the "People as Before" soul skill could not be reset or reversed.

However, the soul power consumed by Zhao Tao's other soul skills between the point of rewind and the current point of time can all be rewound!

For example, Zhao Tao's soul power is still 100 points.

At this moment, he unleashed his "Future Body" soul skill, consuming 80 points of soul power, leaving him with only 20 points of soul power.

Then, he spent 20 points of soul power to reset his state back to before he activated "Future Body" using "As Before".

So, after resetting the state

His soul power will be 80 points, not 0 points.

In other words, apart from the irreversible soul power that drives "People as Before", it is also irreversible.

The soul power spent activating the "future body" and other soul skills was reversed and returned.

Of course, this excludes the soul power consumed being reverted.

During the activation of the "future body", the injuries to Zhao Tao's body caused by his future cultivation will be completely reversed.

Therefore, when these two soul skills are combined, they can produce a mysterious chemical reaction, achieving a magical effect where one plus one is greater than two.

In actual combat, Zhao Tao could use the "Future Body" soul skill to summon the power of two major realms ahead and briefly unleash his full potential.

After the burst of power ends, activate the "As Before" soul skill to revert your state to before activating "Future Body".

In this way, Zhao Tao not only achieved a power surge and a massive explosion of combat power, but also avoided the enormous physical damage and soul power consumption that would have occurred if he had used his "future body" to achieve the same power surge.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, this soul skill is not limited to use on Zhao Tao himself.

During battle, Zhao Tao can also use "People as Before" on his teammates to help them recover from injuries and regain their health.

Of course, no soul skill is perfect; any powerful soul skill comes at a price.

The price of "people remaining the same" is the enormous consumption of soul power caused by rewinding time!

Overall, the consumption of the "People as Before" soul skill depends on two factors: first, the length of time the attempt is made to rewind;

Second, the cultivation level of the object being traced.

For example, the amount of soul power consumed to rewind from one second ago is definitely different from the amount consumed from rewinding from three seconds ago.

For example, the energy consumption of reverting to the state of a Soul Master is vastly different from that of a Title Douluo.

If "People Remain the Same" is used on a target of the same level, rewinding one second will consume approximately five percent of Zhao Tao's soul power. Furthermore, for every additional second of rewind time, the soul power consumed will double.

Two seconds, 10%, three seconds, 20%, four seconds, 40%, five seconds, 80%.

Currently, five seconds is the limit for Zhao Tao to rewind time.

Moreover, in actual combat, going back five seconds is absolutely not worthwhile.

After all, the consumption of the "People Remain the Same" soul skill cannot be reversed.

Unless one is seriously injured and must rewind to five seconds ago, one's condition cannot be reversed.

Otherwise, activating "Humanity as Before" in this way would mean that even if Zhao Tao fully recovered from his injuries, he would only have less than 20% of his own soul power left, making it difficult for him to continue fighting.

From the perspective of consuming soul power to "return to the past", going back two or three seconds is the most cost-effective.

This is not only enough for Zhao Tao to make a small breakthrough with the help of his "future self", but also basically enough to restore his seriously injured teammate to his best condition.

As for the consumption, although it was not small, Zhao Tao was still able to recover quickly due to the existence of the soul power vortex, so it would not affect his subsequent combat power.

At the same time, the cost of tracing back the target's strength increases by about 50% for every major level higher than Zhao Tao's.

For example, reverting to the past costs 1.5 times more than restoring a Soul King, while reverting to the past costs 2.25 times more, and reverting to the past costs 1.5 times more than restoring a Soul Saint.

And so on.

Such consumption is not hard to understand.

Looking back at a Soul Master's state is like moving them from one point in time to another in the river of time.

The rank of a Soul Master is equivalent to the energy contained within the Soul Master, similar to the mass of an object.

In the real world, the heavier the object, the greater the force required to push it.

Similarly, in the long river of time, the higher the "driving" energy level of a Soul Master, the more Soul Power they will consume.

In addition to using "People Are Still the Same" on oneself and teammates.

Zhao Tao can also use "People are the same" on enemies.

For example, under Zhao Tao's attack, one enemy has already suffered serious damage.

At this moment, his teammates included healing or food-type Soul Masters who helped the enemy recover from his injuries.

Zhao Tao, through the "People as Before" technique, can revert his condition from recovery back to injury!

For example, an enemy might suddenly use an amplifying soul skill, resulting in a huge boost to all their attributes.

Zhao Tao can use "People as before" to reset his state to the state before the blessing, thus breaking the blessing!

It can be said that this is an absolutely all-around soul skill!
