Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 32 Hunting for Soul Rings

After the three of them had a celebratory lunch at "Hongfuju" in Tiandou City.

Dugu Yan asked, "Yi Zhang, have you decided which soul beast you want to hunt?"

Lin Yizhang himself didn't know what type of soul skill he should attach to his main martial soul.

He only knew that his original martial soul was very powerful and could be awakened a second time; he knew nothing else.

Without any reference points, Lin Yizhang had to figure out for himself what kind of spirit rings he should attach in order to maximize the advantages of his original martial soul.

Lin Yizhang felt that the original martial soul was similar to the beast martial soul, since humans were also a kind of living being.

However, once the original body becomes one's own martial soul, it is more compatible with the soul master than any other beast martial soul.

It can maximize all the advantages of the Beast Martial Soul.

The greatest advantage of Beast Martial Souls is their powerful physique.

Like those soul beasts, most of them rely on their powerful physical bodies to fight.

Lin Yizhang felt that he had to fully utilize the advantages of his original martial soul in order to truly develop its strengths.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Yizhang felt that the ideal thing for his main body martial soul was to have all of its skills enhanced by amplification.

Absorbing a soul ring can greatly enhance one's physical strength, and releasing a soul skill can amplify all one's attributes, making one essentially a weapon.

He compared his body to weapon spirits like the Seven Kill Sword and the Clear Sky Hammer.

Both hands, both feet, and even the whole body can be used as weapons.

Most importantly, the soul skill he planned to create based on the "Naval Six Styles" was a perfect match for his original martial soul.

The moves of the "Naval Six Styles" cannot be learned by anyone but those with a strong physique.

Moreover, the stronger the physique, the greater the power that can be exerted.

Furthermore, the addition of amplifying spirit rings can completely prevent one's body from growing strangely due to focusing on developing one aspect.

Without a doubt, a Soul Master with a defensive Soul Skill must be very "robust".

For example, the soul masters of the Elephant Armor Sect and the Imperial Clan are all burly and heavy, weighing over several hundred kilograms.

Take the Min family for example; they're all skinny.

If one absorbs a spirit ring that attacks using hands, feet, or head.

After being possessed by that martial spirit, one is very likely to become a strange person with well-developed limbs, a relatively thin body, and a large head.

In addition, Lin Yizhang speculated.

One's own martial soul itself has no bias.

As long as the balance isn't broken from the start, you can choose to hunt down those soul beasts that are likely to use amplification-type soul skills.

The acquired soul skill will most likely be one that boosts all attributes.

This wasn't just Lin Yizhang's wild guess; it was based on facts.

For example, a Soul Master with a hammer-type Martial Soul might hunt down an offensive Soul Beast.

His attack methods could include throwing the hammer or smashing it down from the sky...

However, it's impossible to deviate from the hammer's inherent characteristics and obtain a soul skill like the hammer exploding on its own.

Therefore, Lin Yizhang felt that a complete physical martial soul was truly a unique gift from heaven.

Any martial soul that is not a complete physical body could not possess such amazing characteristics.

Lin Yizhang had also carefully researched which soul beasts were prone to producing amplification-type soul skills.

Those soul beasts that fight by relying on their strong physique, but do not have special abilities such as releasing lightning or shooting light waves, have a high probability of acquiring this type of soul skill.

Lin Yizhang's ideal choice for a beast right now is the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has thick hide and a powerful physique with amazing defense. It is said that its pair of claws can tear apart a dragon.

There is a high probability that one's own martial soul will gain an amplification-type soul skill.

Even if my above speculation is wrong, the soul skill that this top-tier soul beast can give me must be quite good.

These were things he had already planned before he even broke through level 30.

In response to Dugu Yan's question, Lin Yizhang replied directly, "I plan to hunt a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."

If we still can't find the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear by then, we'll see what happens.

Ye Lingling said, "The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is one of the top-tier soul beasts, and it is extremely rare."

Moreover, it is powerful; even a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that has just entered the thousand-year level is not afraid of ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

Very few Soul Masters can obtain their Soul Rings.

Soul Masters who are not strong enough cannot kill them.

Soul Masters capable of killing them no longer need their Soul Rings.

Therefore, only those Soul Masters with the assistance of powerful Soul Masters have the opportunity to obtain such top-grade Soul Rings.

"Then we'll have to ask my grandfather for help. He's a thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. I'm sure he can handle it," Dugu Yan said.

Lin Yizhang nodded and said, "I also plan to ask Senior Dugu for help."

Senior Dugu hasn't been in Heaven Dou City lately, but I want to obtain my third soul ring as soon as possible.

"Yanyan, do you know how to get in touch with your grandfather?"

Dugu Yan said, "Grandpa should be living in the Sunset Forest. We are not strong enough to enter the Sunset Forest to find him."

But it's been almost a month since he last came back; Grandpa should be back in the next few days.

Lin Yizhang nodded to indicate that he understood.

Three days later, Dugu Bo returned to Tiandou City.

Lin Yizhang followed Dugu Yan back to Dugu Bo's mansion, while Ye Lingling remained at the academy to study.

After having dinner with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, Lin Yizhang explained his purpose to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo agreed to take him to Sunset Forest to hunt for a soul ring first thing tomorrow morning.

Because Dugu Bo happened to know that there was a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was nearly two thousand years old in Sunset Forest.

Lin Yizhang stayed at the mansion for one night, while Dugu Yan returned to the academy after dinner.

Because Dugu Bo said that the place was inhabited by a group of three Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears, one of which was nearly 30,000 years old.

It would be dangerous for Dugu Yan to go along, so she did not insist on going.

After breakfast the next day, Lin Yizhang and Dugu Bo took a carriage to Sunset Forest.

In the world of Douluo Continent, transportation is mainly by horseback riding and carriages, which is truly a fantastical sewer system.

Fortunately, the carriage was shockproof, and it was as comfortable as riding in a car, so Lin Yizhang didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

After arriving at Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo immediately led Lin Yizhang towards the location of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

After flying for more than half an hour, Dugu Bo finally put Lin Yizhang down.

The fact that a titled Douluo could fly for half an hour indicates that they were already quite deep in the Sunset Forest.

The spirit beasts that can live here must be quite powerful.

Dugu Bo said, "That cave ahead is the dwelling place of those three Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears."

I previously saw one that was nearly 30,000 years old, one that was about to break 10,000 years old, and one that was just over 2,000 years old.

If that dark gold dinosaur bear, which is over nine thousand years old, hadn't broken through to become a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, I could still handle it.

If it breaks through ten thousand years, then you can only look for other soul beasts.

After a soul beast like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear breaks through ten thousand years, its strength becomes more than ten or twenty times stronger than before the breakthrough.

A 50,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can even fight against a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast and remain undefeated.

As expected of a top-tier soul beast.
