Douluo: Dream Overlord

Chapter 154 Searching for Soul Beasts

Under the guidance of their instructors, the group ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest.

This place is fraught with danger, filled with ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts and even higher-level soul beasts, making it extremely dangerous.

Time and the others maintained their battle formation and continued forward, scanning their surroundings to find a suitable soul beast for Ye Lengleng.

Although Ye Lengleng's martial soul can adapt to any soul beast's soul ring and transform it into a fixed soul skill.

However, she should choose the highest-level soul beast to maximize the effect of the martial soul, rather than relying solely on the effect of the martial soul ring, which would slow down the overall progress of the team. I once saw a record of this in an ancient book.

Once a Soul Master absorbs a low-level Soul Ring, his Martial Soul will not only be limited by the Soul Ring's age, but the effects of his Soul Skills will also definitely be unsatisfactory.

That's how the effects of spirit rings work: the more powerful the spirit ring, the better the effects of the spirit skills it contains, and vice versa.

It's like those commoner soul masters who choose to hunt soul beasts that take a hundred or even ten years to obtain soul rings in order to avoid venturing into dangerous forests.

The advantage of doing this is that it protects weaker soul beasts from immense pressure, allowing them to absorb soul rings and acquire soul skills with peace of mind, step by step, reaching the limit of their talents.

However, such Soul Masters belong to the weakest tier in the Soul Master world. Their combat power is close to five because the effect of their Soul Rings is too low.

Shi Guang knew this so well because he had seen a Soul Master in the Soul Arena whose first three Soul Rings were all white.

This kind of Soul Master is extremely weak and can hardly pose a threat to Shi Guang in battle. He doesn't even have a defensive stance and is too lazy to set up any defenses.

Because the effects of such low-level spirit rings are often very weak, their effectiveness in causing damage to spirit masters is extremely limited.

Given Shi Guang's physical abilities, even if he didn't defend himself, the opponent would probably exhaust all his soul power and still be unable to break even a single hair on his head.

This is the conquest that the magical herb brought him, and it also gave him so-called confidence.

With the help of the immortal herb, his physical body is stronger than many soul masters with beast souls even without a martial soul.

It is no exaggeration to say that the effects of low-level soul master soul skills would be greatly reduced on him, because his body is already indestructible and invincible.

However, Time will not stand idly by and take a beating; if someone attacks him, he will retaliate.

After all, only defensive Soul Masters wait for the enemy to arrive; true powerhouses will take the initiative to create the right opportunity for themselves.

People like Shi Guang are most afraid of being attacked by others. They prefer to hide in the shadows and secretly deliver a fatal blow to their enemies.

Shi Guang pondered that with his current strength, he was probably capable of fighting against a Soul Saint-level expert, but the Spirit Hall had many experts, including numerous Title Douluos, and Soul Douluos were everywhere.

As for Soul Saints, they're really worse than dogs.

Led by their instructor, the group ventured deep into the forest, where the instructor used his spiritual power to search for suitable spirit beasts for his students.

However, the soul beasts needed for support-type characters are often extremely rare, because these soul beasts are generally capable of healing others but not themselves. Such soul beasts have a very difficult time surviving in the forest, so most of them live together in groups for warmth.

If Time wants to find them, it must follow the footprints to find nearby gathering points, where many soul beasts gather together.

Based on the convergence map of points in the forest, some Soul Masters even make a fortune by selling hand-drawn forest maps.

These types of Soul Masters are also known as Reconnaissance Soul Masters.

As the name suggests, a reconnaissance soul master is someone who needs to adapt to various reconnaissance missions, go to various dangerous places to lie in wait, record the people or things that exist there, and hand over the information to their relatives. This is their daily life.

Shi Guang pondered that with his talent, serving as a reconnaissance soul master would be a very good choice.

Because he is a spirit maintainer and a user of mental power, he is best suited for reconnaissance work, giving him a unique advantage over other soul masters.

In fact, in the future, many spirit-type soul masters will choose to become reconnaissance-type soul masters so that their advantages can be brought into play, and they can earn more money to buy the resources needed to replenish their strength and improve their abilities.

This is a win-win situation; spirit-type soul masters have secured their place in the soul master world by relying on their expertise.

Of course, there is no place for mental-type Soul Masters in the current Soul Master world; only reconnaissance work is barely acceptable to some mental-type Soul Masters.

Shi Guang pondered that if he could seize the opportunity of the future and make use of his mental strength advantage among reconnaissance soul masters in the present, thus establishing the reputation of mental soul masters, the benefits to him would be enormous.

Because while strength is important among Soul Masters, interpersonal relationships also need to be considered.

Just like how you need proof of having an acquaintance to enter or leave many places, this is a kind of interpersonal relationship. People in a social circle usually have similar or equal strength, so that they can gather in a circle to communicate.

Then, with the help of his parents and his own talent, Xiang Shiguang entered the aristocratic class and came into contact with noble figures and social elites.

Conversely, commoners can only interact with other commoners of equal status or with other commoners; otherwise, they simply cannot understand what nobles are talking about or doing.

This is not just a generation gap issue, but more so because there is a barrier between them. They don't know each other's thoughts, nor do they know where the differences lie in each other's bottom line and mindset.

Even with his talent for time, he probably wouldn't understand the thoughts of a commoner soul master, because he himself is a genius, and geniuses are destined to stay with the highest class in this world.

In fact, if Shi Guang were to contact any commoner Soul Masters, he only needed to say one word, and Soul Masters would come knocking on his door, because they might have designs on him or covet the resources he possessed.

As a time traveler with the experience of living two lives, Shi Guang knows that the ugliness of human nature is untrustworthy. In this world, the only person you can trust is yourself. Even your parents cannot be completely trusted, because they can also be used by others or use others.
