Douluo Continent: Pioneers of the Era, Gods in Parallel

That's it for Chapter 59.

Zhou Yuan then led his people out of the tribe's territory.

As cultivation levels increase, the difference in innate soul power gradually becomes apparent.

Although Manqian and Zhou Yanyan are older, they obtained their first spirit ring earlier.

But now their cultivation levels have been surpassed by Shi Hao.

One reason is that their innate soul power is only level 8, and the other reason is naturally due to Shi Hao's cross-year limit absorption of soul rings.

The difference between martial spirit and innate soul power will become increasingly apparent over time.

This is most evident in Jiang Caiwei, after all, she is the only one with innate soul power level 7.

Of course, it's not particularly obvious now. After all, in the primitive era, in this primeval forest, Jiang Caiwei's plant martial soul could always find a suitable place for her extraordinary cultivation.

In comparison, Zhou Yuan, who possessed innate full soul power, displayed an even more heaven-defying ability.

"It's turned out like this—"

After leaving the tribe, Manqian and his companions looked at the outside world with a dazed expression.

For a moment, I couldn't believe my eyes.

So much time has passed since the beast tide, it should have been a desolate wasteland, but only a short time has passed, and the land outside has returned to its former appearance. Not only that, many trees are spreading rapidly.

The Soul Beast Forest continues to expand.

The reason is simple: there are many plant-type spirit beasts, and they often seem to be used only as food or habitats for other spirit beasts.

But these plant-based spirit beasts are the most aggressive.

Especially in the current situation.

"A bloodthirsty bull over five hundred years old is enough to feed us for two days."

Zhou Yuan had no time to chat with them about anything. He quickly searched and, after spotting a lone, bloodthirsty bull, he began to lock onto it.

Instead of immediately attacking and defeating him, he took out a freezing gun from his storage soul tool.

The main purpose of this trip was to test the power of the soul tool.

Hunting was just a side thing.

Seeing Zhou Yuan take out the soul tool, their eyes were filled with anticipation.

I'd like to see what exactly this thing that Zhou Yuan has been working on for so long is.

Aim, lock onto the target, unleash your soul power, and then fire.

A chilling aura, imbued with soul power, struck the bloodthirsty bull that was over five hundred years old.

The energy ball struck the bloodthirsty bull and quickly froze.

The bloodthirsty bull sensed something was wrong and began to struggle, then effortlessly freed itself from the ice-covered area on its leg.

Then there is no more then.

The damage inflicted on him by the freezing gun was negligible.

"That's it—"

When Manqian saw this scene, his expression was full of astonishment.

The ballista and gunpowder that Zhou Yuan had previously developed contained immense power, and it hadn't taken that much time.

After all that effort, this is the only thing we've managed to create, which can't even kill a five-hundred-year-old soul beast.

The difference is simply too great.

This freezing gun is less powerful than a bow and arrow!

"Chief, what use is this?"

Shi Hao couldn't help but ask as well.

What Zhou Yuan is currently showing is really too ordinary.

Zhou Yuan ignored them and immediately took out his notebook to start taking notes.

"The Freeze Gun has an effective range of 20 meters and can hinder the movement of century-old soul beasts to a certain extent. A soul master's strength is sufficient to activate it 7 times, and its freezing effect takes about three seconds to complete."

Zhou Yuan wrote it down as he spoke.

After doing all this, he put away his books and the freeze gun, and then looked at the people around him.

"Have I disappointed you?"

"But I must tell you, this is just the beginning!"

"Just like our cultivation, this freezing gun is like the weapon of a Soul Master who has just started cultivating. Its power is not great and it can only deal with some ordinary Soul Beasts. But as it is gradually improved and upgraded, its power will become more and more powerful."

"Moreover, soul tools are never used like this."

"In some ways, soul tools are more like our second martial soul, or an extension of our martial soul."

"Imagine if a purely support-oriented Soul Master possessed this Soul Tool, wouldn't he suddenly gain combat power?"

"Moreover, relying on soul tools in combat allows us to control powers that our own martial souls do not possess."

"Let me give you an example using the Freeze Gun in my hand. Suppose we've almost exhausted our soul power and are still in dire straits. Although the remaining soul power can't activate a soul skill, it can activate the Freeze Gun to launch an attack, which might create an opportunity for us to escape."

"Moreover, this is the first soul tool I have just created. As my cultivation level improves and I collect more information in this area, defensive, healing, and energy storage soul tools will surely allow us to unleash power beyond our current level."

"Besides that, I can also manufacture and research soul tools for daily life. Not to mention others, I can already make a soul tool for lighting. The only thing I lack is a soul tool for storing soul power."

Zhou Yuan slowly recounted his experience, providing proof for the soul tool he had created.

Although he wasn't entirely satisfied with the result, he was still successful nonetheless.

In this way, all the efforts made during this period of time will not have been wasted.

Next, all I need to do is conduct further research during my spare time.

"Chief, you are absolutely right."

Upon hearing Zhou Yuan's words, Man Qian and the others' eyes immediately lit up.

Putting everything else aside, the mere fact that they could control power beyond their own martial soul was enough to tempt them.

Especially Jiang Caiwei.

Her martial soul has never shown particularly strong offensive power.

If this could be changed by relying on a soul tool, perhaps her role would be even greater.

Among the five, Jiang Caiwei, who is the least eloquent and seems to have the weakest personality, is actually the one who is most skilled in the most things.

It was also the greatest help to many of them.

Whether it's making poisons, various healing items, or life skills like weaving and cooking, she has already mastered them all despite her young age.

Because her martial soul doesn't have much offensive power and her innate soul power is the lowest, she feels somewhat inferior.

That way, you can keep a low profile and not reveal your abilities.

Seeing the obvious hint of interest on Jiang Caiwei's face, Zhou Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so hard for him.

It's not just about ensuring their survival, but also about constantly considering their psychological well-being.

To be honest, many times, Zhou Yuan wanted to abandon them and hide away to improve his strength.

But he could never bring himself to do such a thing; he couldn't bear to watch them die.

Moreover, by then, I might go insane before I've even improved my strength, since humans are social creatures.

Moreover, at this time, there are many things that he cannot solve alone.
