Douluo: Dream Overlord

Before I knew it, it was evening.

When Shi Nian returned from his trip, he saw his mother cooking and asked curiously, "Where's Shi Guang? Is he still cultivating? He's really amazing."

"Yes, he went into his room to cultivate as soon as he got back, and he hasn't come out yet."

Shi's mother was somewhat helpless.

"Be patient and avoid arrogance and impatience."

Shi Nian smiled with satisfaction and said, "As expected of my son, no one can surpass him in terms of talent and intelligence among his peers."

Shi's mother didn't say anything, and in fact, it was just as Shi Nian had said.

As a self-made man, Shi Nian used the Broken Dream, a martial soul that was considered useless from the beginning, to rise against all odds and become a Soul Emperor.

He eventually married a beautiful and wealthy woman and became a well-known powerful figure in the area.

That's incredibly inspiring.

To put it in the words of a past life.

Who isn't the protagonist of their own story?

At this moment, Shiguang came out of the room and began to help serve rice and dishes.

"How does it feel to become a Soul Master?"

Shi Nian jokingly remarked, "If I were as outstanding as you, I'd probably be too excited to sleep."

Shi Guang calmly placed his chopsticks on the table and said, "It's just awakening innate full soul power and twin martial souls, nothing to mention."

Even if one could become a strong person, it wouldn't be now, but in the more distant future.

"It's good that you have your own ideas; I support all your plans."

At that time, I picked up my rice bowl.

"By the way, Father," Shi Guang suddenly said, "take me to hunt soul beasts tomorrow."

I was born with full soul power, so I can directly attach soul rings.

As for the foundation needed to absorb soul power, mental strength and physical fitness, I have been training these two things for a long time since I can remember, Father.

So don't worry about my problem; what you need to worry about is finding the right kind of spirit beast to attach spirit rings to my martial spirit.

Upon hearing this, Shi Nian frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I have seen your efforts over the years. It must be very good that your physical condition can withstand the innate full soul power."

So what I want to ask you isn't that, but rather which martial soul you've decided to focus on.

The biggest advantage of having twin martial souls is that you can first attach a ring to the first martial soul, while the other martial soul can gradually select powerful spirit rings.

This allows for the achievement of the maximum potential of the spirit rings, which is precisely the terrifying aspect of twin spirit souls.

"Of course, my main martial soul is Remnant Dream."

Shi Guang said without hesitation, "I can sense that the Remnant Dream Martial Soul is biased towards control."

Gemstone Martial Souls are more geared towards support, and I don't like being a support-type Soul Master.

Moreover, illusion-type spirit beasts that are compatible with gem spirits are extremely rare. Most of them are powerful spirit beasts that are ten thousand or even one hundred thousand years old. It's too difficult to find one that is compatible with the current age limit. It's better to wait until my strength increases before getting the ring.

"Alright, since you've decided to use Remnant Dream as your main martial soul, then your first soul ring should be aimed at a spirit-type soul beast."

Upon hearing this, Shi Nian was somewhat delighted. He pondered, "Ideally, it should be a spirit-type soul beast around four hundred years old, so that it can reach the limit of the first soul ring."

Based on my research over the years and the theories of the Soul Master community.

The first soul skill has a decisive impact on the martial soul.

The higher the quality of the spirit ring, the greater its influence, and the stronger the corresponding spirit skill.

Shi Nian looked at Shi Guang with deep emotion: "Son, as the second owner of the Remnant Dream Martial Soul, you can follow the path I have walked, but you cannot go too far."

The Remnant Dream Martial Soul, being the unique Martial Soul of my father and me, is unlike those of large families like the Gemstone Martial Soul, which have been passed down for generations.

My martial spirit can only be determined by my own deduction and matching. This way, I can only find the path that I think is correct, not yours.

You should learn from my strengths and make up for my weaknesses. Use my martial soul as a template, remember the sources of good soul rings, and replace those that do not greatly benefit your martial soul with other soul beasts.

It was through this process of trial and error that these large families achieved their current stable martial spirit inheritance and fixed spirit ring ratios. Do you understand?

"I understand now. Learning from others is just learning from others; it doesn't mean you'll follow the same path."

Shiguang nodded: "No two flowers are the same in the world, Father. I understand what you mean. I will search for a soul ring that matches my martial soul."

"Only in this way can we maximize the advantages and effects of the Martial Soul. Father, could you please describe the characteristics of the Remnant Dream Martial Soul?"

"sure!"

Seeing that his son understood immediately, Shi Nian said with satisfaction, "The Remnant Dream Martial Soul is a mutated type of Martial Soul, and it does not belong to the categories of Weapon Martial Soul or Beast Martial Soul."

It should belong to the category of physical martial soul, and its characteristic is probably that it is a manifestation of an individual's spiritual essence.

The Remnant Dream Martial Soul has no physical attributes and primarily relies on mental attacks.

Its special ability is to mark enemies through attacks, and then connect to their subconscious without their awareness, entering their dreams and controlling everything.

The prerequisite for infiltrating the other party's dream is that the difference in strength between the two parties cannot be too great.

A lingering dream can affect everything within the dream, but it consumes a huge amount of soul power.

Killing your target in a dream will result in the target's death in reality or them becoming mentally unstable and incapacitated.

Listening to Shi Nian's words, Shi Guang gained an understanding of the Remnant Dream Martial Soul.

In the original work, Shi Nian was just a tool to deliver the ten-thousand-year soul bone equipment.

Unexpectedly, this Remnant Dream Martial Soul is surprisingly powerful.

Based on my experience of reading the original Douluo Continent novel and many fan fictions,

Aside from martial souls with ultimate attributes, the rarest and most powerful are spirit-type martial souls.

Very few people are able to defend against mental-type soul power, and possess soul skills that can resist it.

Moreover, in the environment of the first part, apart from the strong who can resist with their mental power, the rest of the Soul Masters are basically clueless.

Time can certainly be described in this way.

If there were a Title Douluo of the Spiritual Realm, they could roam freely across the continent.

"Therefore, the first spirit ring should be a spirit skill that enhances the effect of lingering dreams."

Shi Guang pondered for a moment and said, "For example, effects like hypnosis, enchantment, or nightmares."

"Yes, that's the best way to maximize the effect of the lingering dream."

Shi Nian nodded and said with some emotion, "I chose the wrong effect for my first soul ring, which prevented the effect of Remnant Dream from being maximized."

Since you're considering the Mind Control School of Remnant Dream, you need to carefully consider each Soul Ring. There's very little help I can offer you.

From now until graduation from Canghui Academy, you will need to learn the academy's combat skills to address your initial lack of attack power.

"I see."

Time nodded, and the two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.

After finishing his meal and washing his own dishes, Shi Guang returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed.

"To fully unleash the power of the lingering dream and forge a path of ultimate spiritual attributes...?"

Time pondered and entered into meditation.

Silent all night.

the next morning.

Time and years stand outside the school.

The cool morning breeze brushed against his face, making him more awake.

The two found the carriage that Shi Nian had booked the night before; the driver was a Soul Venerable.

"Let's go to the nearest Sunset Forest."

Shi Nian and Shi Guang sat in the carriage. Shi Nian said, "The soul beasts here are no more than ten thousand years old, making it suitable for hunting soul beasts."

Time nodded, watching the scenery pass by outside the window, and closed his eyes to rest.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The two arrived at the edge of the forest.

He jumped down from the carriage and gazed at the dense forest.

The scent of nature filled his nostrils, carrying the freshness of earth.
