Douluo: Dream Overlord

Chapter 158 Searching for Support-Type Soul Beasts 3

At that time, with his talent, dominating the Douluo Continent would be a piece of cake.

But this would take a long time, and there was clearly no time for him to wait.

Shi Guang knew that if he didn't work hard, even without the pressure from the Spirit Hall and other Spirit Masters, he still wouldn't be able to improve, because his mindset wouldn't allow him to concentrate.

Because the path of a Soul Master requires competition. Without fighting against other Soul Masters, even the most powerful Soul Master is just a flower in a greenhouse, to be picked at will.

Time is not a flower in a greenhouse; he is determined to become a true powerful Soul Master.

For this goal, he was willing to give up everything, just to become the strongest.

Having transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, how could he not experience the local customs and culture? And in a world where extraordinary power reigns supreme, how could he not strive to become a top-tier powerhouse?

He was determined to become a powerful figure among the titled Douluo, and he would not stop until he achieved the highest godhood and ascended to the God Realm.

While pondering, Shi Guang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, guided by the others.

He seems to have discovered an extraordinary soul beast.

"Teacher, wait a moment."

Time called out to the teacher who was walking according to the map.

"What's wrong?"

The instructor and members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team all stopped and looked at Shi Guang with curiosity and doubt.

"I think I've found a soul beast that's perfect for Ye Lingling."

Shi Guang looked at everyone and said with a smile.

He just used his mental power and it seems he detected an extraordinary soul beast, not just suitable, but extremely suitable for Ye Lingling.

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of curiosity.

They were curious not only about whether Shiguang could find a suitable soul beast for Ye Lingleng, but also about how Shiguang was able to discover a suitable soul beast for Ye Lingleng ahead of time, knowing that the teacher had been investigating.

Does this mean that, to some extent, the spiritual power of time is stronger than that of the instructor?

Everyone found it hard to believe.

Keep in mind that Shi Guang is only 12 years old and is only a Soul King of the Mental type, but his mental strength is already so powerful?

Time smiled gently.

While his mental strength was not yet as powerful as his instructor's, he was far superior in its application.

Although there are many terrifying beings in the later Douluo Continent with spiritual power or strength comparable to or even higher than Soul Masters of the same level, those are just stories for later.

Shi Guang's strength is among the best in the world, comparable to a Soul Emperor, but still not quite at the Soul Saint level.

The increase in strength is a fixed increase between Soul Masters, unlike in other novels where you can easily and quickly increase your strength.

The world of Douluo Continent is more like a world of cultivation, where one needs to accumulate soul power over time to become stronger.

Shi Guang pondered that with his talent, if he wanted to become the Wind Pride Douluo, at the current pace, it would take at least ten or eight years.

This talent was considered formidable in the early stages of Douluo Continent, but Shi Guang was still not entirely satisfied.

Because he doesn't want to emulate a single type of character, but rather the geniuses or role models from the second and third installments of the Dou Dizhu series that he wants to follow and learn from.

On Douyin, the only ones who can be called geniuses are probably Bibi Dong and Tang Chen.

The former is a person with innate full soul power and also has twin martial souls, both of which are the same spider. They can be said to have been born at the starting point of the soul world because their martial souls are of the same nature and will not conflict. Their martial soul quality is close to that of any soul ring and can be switched for use.

Time inevitably brings a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or nostalgia), Bibi Dong's martial soul characteristics are simply a bug.

Ordinary twin martial soul users must switch between their two martial souls if they want to use the other one. During this switching time, they are very likely to be attacked by enemies.

Trying to summon them simultaneously without a soul is nothing short of a pipe dream, because it would consume a great deal of a soul master's mental energy. In the early stages, weak soul masters cannot summon two martial souls and can only use them alternately.

Shi Guang did not believe that his talent allowed him to use both twin martial souls simultaneously in the early stages.

His talent seems to manifest more in the spiritual realm than in the realm of cultivation.

In terms of combat, he is probably not even as good as Tang San, because the other party has a variety of martial arts and techniques that he is born with, which are beyond his reach.

The advantage of Time is their strong willpower, good luck, and excellent operational capabilities. They can remain steadfast and make adjustments in any situation, which is their real advantage, commonly known as their strategic vision.

To expect someone with his talent to achieve mastery entirely without relying on any external aids is a long and time-consuming process, and the cost-effectiveness is quite low.

Bibi Dong, however, easily stood at the top of the world by relying on her twin martial souls and Pegasus soul power.

Otherwise, his talent might have played a part, but more importantly, it was the convenience brought by his twin martial souls.

Bibi Dong's twin martial souls are both spider tail martial souls, and both are top-tier spider-type martial souls, which gives her an advantage in innate combat.

Whether it's using a martial soul to suppress the opponent in battle or seamlessly connecting similar martial souls for sustained combat, it makes battle extremely convenient.

Imagine if your enemy could simultaneously activate two martial souls and switch between them, using multiple soul rings in battle; that feeling would truly send chills down your spine.

Even the most powerful Soul Master can be caught off guard. Unless they have complete information about their opponent from the start, including their fighting style, tactics, and system, they cannot make effective adjustments to avoid being caught off guard.

But it must be said that Bibi Dong was among the most vigilant people in the first part of Douluo Continent.

He always keeps his personal information hidden and doesn't need to show it to anyone, avoiding giving others any leverage over his weaknesses. This is a good habit.

In addition to direct combat, battles between Soul Masters rely more on information asymmetry, understanding and knowledge of their Martial Soul, and comparisons of changes in the world and the complex relationships between different situations.

If you don't understand a martial spirit, it will be difficult for you to face it and make effective adjustments. You can only passively take hits or be affected by the effects of the spirit rings, resulting in serious injury or even death.

Time knows that there are many strange martial spirits in this world that are not mentioned in the family's encyclopedia because these martial spirits are too rare and many have been lost to the history of the soul master world.

Many new martial souls are constantly being born, and their effects are all bizarre and funny, while their special abilities also make people wary.
