Douluo Continent: Starting with the Fire-Breathing Dragon Martial Soul!

Lin Mo closed his eyes, his mind immersed in analyzing the current situation of himself and the little fire dragon.

The double joy of successfully obtaining his first spirit ring and the successful hatching of the little fire dragon left him no time to delve into the additional information on the panel.

Now that he has calmed down, information about the conditions for evolution has involuntarily surfaced in his mind, prompting him to ponder the reasons behind it.

The conditions required for hatching a baby fire dragon and its first evolution are level 10 soul power and level 30 soul power, respectively.

This coincides with some of the sayings about the bottlenecks in Soul Master cultivation in the Douluo Continent.

For the vast majority of Soul Masters, levels 10, 30, 50, and 70 are arguably the most important hurdles on their path to becoming Soul Masters.

The first level is level ten, which is the starting point of the path to becoming a Soul Master and the boundary that distinguishes ordinary people from Soul Masters.

A very small number of people are able to awaken their soul power, but due to various factors such as their innate soul power being too low, their martial soul quality being too poor, or their cultivation methods being ineffective, they are unable to break through the bottleneck of level ten.

These people cannot be considered true Soul Masters; they can only be considered Soul Warriors with Soul Power. Their future is basically sealed here.

The inability to raise their soul power to level ten means that they will never be able to possess their own soul rings and soul skills in their lifetime.

Those who possess weapon-type martial souls are alright, but those who possess beast-type martial souls can't even possess a martial soul.

This means that they are just ordinary people with soul power, and they will never become true soul masters.

Then there's level 30, which is a threshold that blocks even more people.

Countless Soul Masters, despite exhausting their entire lives, can only remain at the level of a Great Soul Master (level 29) and can no longer advance.

Just like the so-called master Yu Xiaogang, his Luo Sanpao martial soul failed to mutate, which caused him to be trapped at level 29 for life and unable to become a Soul Master.

Level 30 marks a qualitative leap in a Soul Master's abilities, signifying that from this point onward, a Soul Master can absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring, marking their true entry into the realm of intermediate Soul Masters.

Level 50, while not as insurmountable as level 30 that determines the fate of many Soul Masters, is still an extremely important milestone for the vast majority of them.

Only at level 50 can a Soul Master absorb and withstand a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

There is a huge difference between a ten-thousand-year soul ring and a thousand-year soul ring.

Whether it's the power of the soul skills or the overall improvement to the soul master's physical attributes, there's a world of difference.

It can be said that whether or not a Soul Master can obtain a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring largely determines the upper limit of a Soul Master's future potential.

As for level 70, it is of paramount importance to all Soul Masters, and can even be said to be a threshold they dream of reaching.

Level 70 means that a Soul Master can obtain the seventh Soul Skill, which represents the most powerful force of their Martial Soul—the True Body of the Martial Soul.

Once a Soul Master unleashes their Martial Soul True Form, all of their abilities will experience explosive growth, and their strength will undergo a dramatic transformation.

Only those Soul Masters who possess a Martial Soul True Body can be considered to have truly entered the realm of high-level Soul Masters and have the confidence to stand on the continent.

"Level 10 is the starting point, level 30 is the key, level 50 is a leap forward, and level 70 is a qualitative change..." Lin Mo silently sorted through this information in his mind.

"And the first clearly stated condition for Charmander's evolution is level 30..."

His thoughts gradually became clearer. Since the prerequisite for the little fire dragon to hatch from the egg was that its soul power reached level 10, and the prerequisite for evolving into the next form, the fire dragon, was that its soul power reached level 30.

So, could this lead us to speculate that the prerequisite for Charizard to evolve into its final form, Charizard, is likely that its Soul Power level reaches level 50?

After all, level 50 is an extremely important threshold for Soul Masters, a stage where they can obtain a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring and achieve a leap in strength.

The fact that the evolutionary stages of the little fire dragon coincide so closely with the key levels of a Soul Master's cultivation is probably not just a coincidence, but more like a reflection of some kind of rule.

Or rather, it is the rules of the Douluo Continent world that influence the growth path of the little fire dragon as a martial soul.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt a surge of excitement.

If the speculation is correct, then as long as he cultivates step by step and raises his soul power to level 30 or 50, the little fire dragon can naturally complete its evolution!

However, this clear evolutionary condition made Lin Mo involuntarily think of his other martial soul... the heart-based martial soul that contained all the blood in his body.

Unlike the evolution conditions clearly marked on the Little Fire Dragon's panel, the evolution conditions section on his second martial soul panel still displays the word "unknown".

The word "unknown" had almost become a shadow in his heart.

After this period of research and exploration, he has initially grasped some of the methods of using this original martial soul, relying on his understanding of the heart meridian and blood in his previous life and his personal experience in this life.

They even developed a self-created soul skill called "Blood Burst," which can unleash blood and qi in a short period of time to strengthen specific parts of the body.

However, he had absolutely no clue as to how this second martial soul should evolve, not even the slightest bit.

"If the evolution conditions are also like those of the little dragon, simply requiring a certain level of soul power..." Lin Mo speculated in his mind.

"The panel should display the specific level requirements directly, like the one for Charmander, such as 'Evolution condition: Soul Power level reaches XX', instead of just giving a vague 'unknown' as it does now."

After much thought, this inference seems to be the most likely.

His panel is a manifestation of his special talent, and its function is relatively simple, only allowing him to view the status information of himself and Charmander.

He had previously tried to concentrate on observing other people or objects, but the panel showed no response, indicating that it indeed could not provide information beyond itself and its partner Charmander.

Therefore, the fact that the panel displays "unknown" as the condition for evolving the second martial soul seems to indirectly confirm one possibility:

The evolution conditions for his heart-based martial soul are definitely not something that can be achieved simply by increasing his soul power level, like the Little Fire Dragon.

The prerequisite for evolution is likely the intervention of some kind of external force!

Because this external force is not a capability he already possesses, the panel cannot provide specific hints and can only label it as "unknown".

"External intervention..." Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and his mind began to race.

I started to consider, based on the information I had gathered, what things might become the "external forces" that could help my second martial soul evolve.
