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

His gaze first fell on the spirit rings and spirit bones.

Moreover, compared to spirit rings, spirit bones seem to be more likely to become the opportunity for one's second spirit to evolve.

After all, soul bones are clearly corresponding to various important parts of the human body, while soul rings have an added element of uncertainty.

Soul bones, like soul rings, are special items produced after a soul beast dies.

Unlike spirit rings, spirit bones have an extremely low drop rate, less than one in a thousand for all spirit beasts.

Unlike spirit rings, spirit bones do not have the restriction that only the killer can absorb them, which leads to a situation where the supply of spirit bones cannot meet the demand.

Even the most ordinary soul bone can fetch an astronomical price on the market.

Soul Masters can not only greatly enhance their strength by absorbing Soul Bones, but also gain new skills granted by the Soul Bones.

If the quality of the soul bone itself is extremely high and it is highly compatible with the soul master, it is not impossible for it to trigger further changes or evolution of the soul master's martial soul.

Besides soul rings and soul bones, another possible external force is the "heavenly treasures" nurtured by heaven and earth. Among these treasures, the most common is the "immortal herb" in Lin Mo's memory.

Thinking of this, he immediately recalled several memorable examples.

For example, the immortal herbs that Tang San obtained from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Among them, the "Qiluo Tulip" helped Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School complete a transformation that can be described as a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

He forcibly evolved her martial soul from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, breaking the innate limitation that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul could only have seven spirit rings, and incidentally paved the way for her to become a Title Douluo!

Then there's Ma Hongjun. His original Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul had a huge flaw. Later, he consumed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower provided by Tang San, which cleared away the evil fire and purified his phoenix bloodline, thus freeing him from the torment of the evil fire.

Later, on Seagod Island, Ma Hongjun received the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent from Tang San. After swallowing it, it became his seventh spirit ring, which allowed his Evil Fire Phoenix spirit to advance further and evolve into the Ten-Headed Fire Phoenix.

Both of these examples demonstrate how the evolution of a martial soul's essence was directly facilitated by spiritual objects of heaven and earth that matched its attributes!

As for Tang San's own Blue Silver Grass martial soul evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor, the situation is rather special.

He successfully completed the evolution of his martial soul, or rather, his second awakening, with the help of a Blue Silver King whose cultivation level reached 85,000 years.

It transformed the Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Emperor.

However, Tang San's martial soul transformation process is not like evolution, but more like an awakening of bloodline stimulation, which leads to the second awakening of the martial soul.

Strictly speaking, this is not simply a matter of relying on external objects.

After all, if Tang San did not have the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor, his Blue Silver Grass would remain Blue Silver Grass for its entire life and would never be able to transform into the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Moreover, Tang San's situation is too special. He is not a pure human, but a hybrid of human and soul beast. His martial soul evolution is not of reference value."

Lin Mo quickly ruled out Tang San, since he wasn't a soul beast hybrid and didn't have any hidden top-tier soul beast bloodline waiting to be awakened.

So, the line of thought returns to the "external force" itself.

"If the evolution of my second martial soul also requires external intervention..." Lin Mo couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of opportunity would that be for me?"

Is it a soul bone whose attributes are extremely compatible with his original martial soul?

For example, a soul bone produced by a top-tier soul beast with powerful vitality or blood energy?

After absorbing it, it might trigger a transformation in his original martial soul?

Or, like Ning Rongrong and Ma Hongjun, find a rare and precious object that perfectly matches their martial soul attribute?

For example, the Qiluo Tulip and Ning Rongrong, the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent and Ma Hongjun, as well as the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and all ice-attribute soul masters...

Where is the perfect spiritual treasure for him? Lin Mo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

However, he quickly realized how rare these two external forces were that could potentially drive the evolution of his martial soul.

The initial fervor that had just risen in Lin Mo's heart cooled down quickly, as if doused with a bucket of cold water, and was replaced by a deep sense of frustration and powerlessness.

The reason is simple: neither soul bones nor those rare and precious herbs are things that he, a mere first-ring soul master, can access.

Needless to say, soul bones are the most coveted treasures of all soul masters, something that can only be encountered by chance and never obtained.

The appearance of any soul bone is enough to shake the soul master world and even trigger a bloody struggle; otherwise, soul bones would not be known as treasures of the Blood River!

With his current strength, let alone possessing it, even catching a glimpse of it is almost a luxury.

And those rare and precious natural treasures, such as immortal herbs, are equally rare.

Compared to other ethereal and elusive spiritual treasures, immortal herbs seem to be easier to find. Lin Mo also knew that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was a treasure land that gathered countless immortal herbs.

But even if he knew exactly where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was, would he be able to break in with his current strength?

Could they possibly seize the immortal herb right under the nose of that poisonous old monster, Dugu Bo? The answer is clearly no.

That's tantamount to prematurely ending the third life you've worked so hard to obtain.

"Strength... in the end, it's still a matter of not being strong enough." Lin Mo sighed heavily in his heart, feeling utterly helpless.

Knowing where the path might be, but lacking the ability to follow it, is a truly frustrating feeling.

However, Lin Mo quickly shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake off the frustration from his mind.

"I can't be too ambitious. It's too early to be thinking about these things now," Lin Mo told himself silently.

For now, what he can do hasn't changed; he still needs to work hard to cultivate and steadily improve his soul power level.

Only those with sufficient strength have the qualifications and opportunities to seek out potential opportunities.

Only by becoming strong can one seize opportunities when they arise, instead of watching them slip away.

"Level 30... Let's set a small goal first: to raise my soul power to level 30 as soon as possible." Lin Mo reaffirmed his resolve.

"At that time, not only will the little fire dragon be able to evolve into a fire dragon and greatly increase its strength, but I myself will also be able to absorb a thousand-year soul ring and take my overall strength to a new level."

Only when that time comes will one possess the initial strength to seek the opportunity to evolve a second martial soul.

As for the more distant mysteries concerning the second or even third awakening of one's own martial soul, even greater strength is required as a guarantee.

You have to walk one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time.

Lin Mo, who had lived three lifetimes, understood this principle all too well.

Having figured all this out, Lin Mo's heart, which had been restless due to his breakthrough in cultivation, gradually calmed down and returned to its usual composure.

He no longer dwelled on the "unknown" evolution conditions on the panel, nor worried about the uncertain future opportunities.

The most urgent task is still to cultivate diligently and improve soul power in preparation for going to the intermediate soul master academy in the near future.

……

The carriage continued to move smoothly, and inside, the dean seemed to have entered a meditative state, emitting steady breathing sounds.

Lin Mo also adjusted his posture and entered a meditative state. At the same time, his soul power flowed silently within his body, running according to the meditation method, making the most of every moment for cultivation.

Cultivation and becoming stronger are the most important things for him right now, and the only things he can hold firmly in his hands.
