Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 6 An Unexpected Discovery

After the World Pearl regained some of its power, Yuan Changqing immediately began experimenting with the abilities bestowed upon him by this innate spiritual treasure.

Since the World Pearl has only regained a sliver of its power, it can now plant medicinal herbs inside, accelerating their growth without affecting their medicinal properties.

So after Yuan Changqing awakened his martial soul, he found some common medicinal herbs in the back mountain of Blue Silver Village and transplanted them into the World Pearl. He also transplanted some plants, such as Blue Silver Grass, Sword Bamboo, Peach Tree, etc., but they were all ten-year-old plant-type soul beasts.

However, after Yuan Changqing brought in some soul beasts, they died immediately, leading him to speculate that the World Bead might not be able to support the survival of beast-type soul beasts. As for plant-type soul beasts, further observation is needed.

After a year of observation, the plant-type soul beasts that were transplanted back then are growing faster than those on Douluo Continent, especially the Blue Silver Grass, which has now reached the hundred-year level. Others have also grown faster, but not as noticeably as the Blue Silver Grass.

It's unclear whether it's because Blue Silver Grass is the spirit of Blue Silver Grass, or because of the bloodline level of these plant-type spirit beasts.

Yuan Changqing guessed that it was most likely due to the bloodline level, since Blue Silver Grass was everywhere in Douluo Continent and could survive in any environment.

...

After a year of study, when school was out for break, Yuan Changqing returned to Blue Silver Village and learned the good news that his aunt Yuan Linglong had broken through to level 20 and was now just waiting to obtain her soul ring.

Ever since he learned that his Martial Soul would be Blue Silver Grass, Yuan Changqing had designed several Martial Soul evolution paths for himself based on the many Douluo Continent fanfiction novels he had read in his previous life, but he didn't know if they would work.

That evening, after dinner, Yuan Changqing called his family to the side to ask about their martial soul ring attachments.

Yuan Changqing hadn't asked in detail before, nor was it convenient for him to ask, mainly because he was afraid of exposing himself. After all, he didn't have this kind of knowledge, and they wouldn't believe him even if he told them. But now it's different.

"Changqing, what's the matter that you called us over?" Grandpa Yuan Tao asked, voicing the question everyone was asking.

Seeing everyone's concerned and puzzled expressions, I realized they had misunderstood me and thought I was in some kind of trouble.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, and Aunt, I have something to ask you, but what I want to ask may not be what you think."

The younger sister-in-law laughed and said, "How did you know what we were thinking?"

"Auntie, you're still the same, always bullying me."

"So what if I bully you! Don't you want that? Hmph!"

The sound sent chills down Yuan Changqing's spine. Recalling how his aunt used to tease him, his mood instantly soured.

So Yuan Changqing said with a forced smile, "Auntie, how could that be? You are the person I respect the most."

Seeing this, Grandma immediately scolded her aunt, "Linglong, how old are you? How dare you bully your nephew!"

"Hmph!" The aunt said with a dissatisfaction.

My mother, Lanling, stopped my grandmother in time to prevent her from continuing to scold my aunt and turned to me.

"Changqing, what's wrong? Speak quickly."

Yuan Changqing was also sensible. Seeing his grandmother scolding his aunt, he quickly spoke about his own affairs to avoid being implicated.

"Grandpa, isn't Auntie preparing to attach a second spirit ring? I have some ideas and wanted to ask about your spirit ring attachment process."

Everyone was somewhat surprised by Yuan Changqing's response.

"Oh! Then go ahead and ask," Grandpa said.

"It's about what kind of spirit beast you use to attach your spirit rings. You might not know this, but besides attending classes this year, I've also read a lot of books about spirit beasts and martial spirits in the library. So, I have a lot of ideas about our family's Blue Silver Grass spirit rings."

Hearing Yuan Changqing say this, everyone was a little shocked, so Grandpa spoke on behalf of everyone.

"Our family's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul doesn't have much offensive power, it's just that it has strong vitality. It's not good at fighting, so our ancestors told us to go home after finishing the primary Soul Master Academy and not to think about going out to make a living, otherwise we wouldn't even know when we lost our lives."

"Also, our Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has low innate soul power, so no matter how much we cultivate, we can't cultivate it much. Therefore, our family adds soul rings of whatever plant-type Martial Soul we encounter."

Grandpa continued, "Of course, that's how it was for our ancestors. When I was studying at school, since there was no Soul Hunting Forest in Soto City, I could only go to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"So, I went with the academy's teachers to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for soul beast soul rings. I just randomly hunted for my first soul ring on the outskirts of the forest. At that time, it was a soul ring from a Blue Silver Grass soul beast. The soul skill it produced was Soul Power Light, which could help teammates replenish 20% of their soul power, while reducing my own by half."

Yuan Changqing then asked, "So, Grandpa, are you a support-type Soul Master now?"

"Yes and no, we'll talk about that later. My second spirit ring is still the Blue Silver Grass spirit ring, and its spirit skill is Light of Life, which can help teammates reduce damage by 20% and I reduce it by half."

"For my third spirit ring, I attached the Hundred-Year Iron Bamboo Spirit Beast Spirit Ring. Its spirit skill is Blue Silver Sword, which can increase my attack power by 20%, thus turning me into a power-attack type spirit master."

"So, I am both a support-type Soul Master and a power-attack-type Soul Master. How about that, Changqing? Isn't it incredible?"

Yuan Changqing also found it unbelievable. When he heard his grandfather ask this question, he replied, "It is indeed unbelievable. Generally, once a Soul Master chooses a Soul Master's direction, it cannot be changed. I never expected that Grandpa could actually change from a support-type Soul Master to a power-attack-type Soul Master."

"I think at this point, because the Blue Silver Grass martial soul's attached spirit ring is from the Blue Silver Grass spirit beast, it's generating a support spirit skill. Actually, at this stage, our martial soul hasn't even determined its direction yet. Am I right, Grandpa?"

"Hahaha!"

Grandpa laughed loudly and said, "That's right. Although our martial soul is Blue Silver Grass and our innate soul power is low, our ancestors always had soul power, and with the help of ancestral teachings, they were generally able to cultivate to level 20 or 30, and thus discovered these patterns."
