Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary.

Chapter 303 The Test?

After acquiring the soul ring, Han Tao, led by the Star Luo Emperor, returned to the palace once again.

Xu Tianhui and the Star Luo Emperor were ranked above the imperial palace.

Looking down at Han Tao, and Han Tao's martial spirit.

"Blue Silver Grass, is this your martial soul?"

"Um!"

Xu Tianhui asked in surprise, "Actually, I don't understand. Is there any compatibility between Blue Silver Grass and the Evil Eye Tyrant?"

"You went through all that trouble to come to the Star Luo Empire's secret realm, just to choose this 'useless' soul skill?"

His words were not pleasant to hear.

Researchers respect facts, but they don't care about other people's feelings.

"Let me make it clear beforehand, this soul skill is anything but useless!"

Han Tao immediately retorted: "Blue Silver Tentacles can change the form of Blue Silver Grass and enhance the strength of the Martial Soul."

"Martial Soul Strength."

The Star Emperor's lips twitched: "But the way your Blue Silver Grass looks doesn't seem like it has any strength."

Han Tao remained silent.

Although Blue Silver Grass has broken through to the ultimate martial soul, when it comes to "aesthetics," it's truly hard to describe.

The Evil Eye Tyrant's tentacles sway within the petals of the Blue Silver Grass, above the leaves, where granite solidification and golden veins intertwine.

Anyone who sees it will immediately judge it as "ugly!"

"Indeed, it's a little ugly, but it's not a big deal!"

Han Tao gave an awkward smile and explained, "In most cases, the strength and aesthetics of a martial spirit are incompatible."

"No," Chen Xin interrupted, "Don't try to fool me. I've seen plenty of top-tier martial souls, but none of them are like yours!"

"Sigh!" Han Tao sighed.

Unless you are the protagonist, under the guidance of destiny, your martial spirit will naturally develop towards its most perfect form.

Similar to the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda and the Nine-Heart Begonia, it is truly blessed by nature, being both beautiful and powerful.

"Prioritize increasing the strength of your martial spirit; sacrificing aesthetics in the short term is acceptable."

"Aesthetics can be gradually optimized during the evolution of the Martial Soul."

This is a process of creating something from nothing. "Wanting both" is the style of the surplus owner, but it is not something Han Tao can choose at the moment.

The Star Luo Emperor approached.

He then asked the two of them briefly, "Gentlemen, don't you have any complaints about this soul skill?"

"Changing the form of a martial soul doesn't grant any combat ability. If Davis dares to pull this trick on me, I'll make him pay."

He stared at Ning Fengzhi with a strange expression, as if accusing him of being irresponsible in teaching his disciples.

"It's not ugly!" Ning Fengzhi said decisively.

"Although Blue Silver Grass is quite unsightly from a macroscopic perspective, if you examine it microscopically, you can sense the near-perfect and extraordinary structural beauty within the Blue Silver Grass martial soul."

"I don't understand what you're saying!"

Emperor Xingluo replied.

Xu Tianhui was still puzzled: "Logically speaking, with the strength of the three upper sects, you shouldn't have made a mistake in choosing a spirit ring for your disciple, right?"

"This is Han Tao's own choice!" Ning Fengzhi said.

"I gave him the Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring System a long time ago. Han Tao chose all the soul rings himself."

His gaze swept calmly over the crowd, displaying the refined elegance of a grand sect leader: "As you all know, my martial soul is the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a weapon-type martial soul!"

"If Han Tao's martial soul were a weapon martial soul, perhaps I could offer some guidance, but Blue Silver Grass is a plant-type martial soul."

"I haven't studied botany much."

Xu Tianhui nodded.

The Star Luo Empire has a unique understanding of beast spirits, giving rise to the "White Tiger Spirit Enhancement System".

However, they didn't understand much about weapon-based martial souls and plant-based martial souls.

As the conversation deepened, Han Tao inevitably thought of the "Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring System" again.

Using datura toxin, vine toxin, and viper venom as its core components, the "Lycoris radiata" (red spider lily) is constructed to represent death.

Through the "vitality" of the Blue Silver Emperor, it merges with "death" and is encapsulated by phosphine toxin, forming an incredible "life-and-death fusion ecosystem".

"Yes!" Han Tao nodded.

"The Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring System, but after my theoretical verification, it is a wrong path."

His tone was calm, and he spoke the truth.

Ning Fengzhi spread his hands and smiled calmly.

"This is your path from now on; you'll have to explore all the possibilities yourself."

The Star Luo Emperor stroked his chin: "He's different from the Master."

"You may not know this, but not long ago, Yu Xiaogang visited the Star Luo Empire and said he wanted to take Davis as his apprentice."

Chen Xin scoffed, "As expected of a good-for-nothing, always thinking about how to reap the benefits."

"Did you agree?"

"Of course not!"

"The Star Luo Empire values ​​strength above all else. I'll have him duel with Davis. If he can defeat Davis, I'll let him take me as a disciple."

"What happened in the end?" Ning Fengzhi asked curiously.

Xu Tianhui chuckled: "Yu Xiaogang got a beating."

"In fair competition, if you're not as good as your opponent, there's nothing to say."

"But when Yu Xiaogang's apprentice saw his master injured, he went mad, muttering things like 'a way to court death.'"

"They attempted to ambush Davis with a hidden weapon, but failed."

A smile appeared on Han Tao's face; this certainly seemed like something he would do.

Emperor Xingluo hesitated slightly.

"Although Tang San's sneak attack failed, it still allowed me to witness the power of hidden weapons. Even I had a hard time withstanding that chicken tail feather."

"It's a peacock feather!" Han Tao reminded him.

However, he clearly didn't care.

Emperor Xingluo stared at Han Tao's profile and questioned him slightly: "Tang San's martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and your martial soul also happens to be Blue Silver Grass."

"So I'm very eager to see if your Blue Silver Grass is as powerful as you claim."

With this firmly in mind, Han Tao remained calm and composed after acquiring the external soul bone, but he was unsure whether it was a coincidence or an application of theory.

Therefore, at this moment, he wanted to test the quality of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Xu Tianhui stepped back slightly and set up the arena.

Star Luo Empire, Imperial Palace Arena.

"This is..." Han Tao asked, slightly puzzled.

Ning Fengzhi considered for a moment: "It seems you'll have to fight Davis."

"This contest is a test for us by the Star Luo Emperor, just like the test he gave to Yu Xiaogang back then."

Han Tao: "Oh, no."

"The National Elite Soul Master Tournament—weren't they even there? What kind of test are they giving me?"

"How dare you?"

Xu Tianhui calmly explained, "In the Star Luo Empire, strength reigns supreme!"

"During the game, your performance was so outrageous that our King doesn't believe it."

Han Tao smiled helplessly: "Alright!"

He casually glanced at the crowd, then looked at Davis in front of him and gently shook his head.

"All of you combined might still have a chance, but..."

The ultimate martial spirit, Blue Silver Grass, appeared in the air.

Above the petals were twisted spiritual tendrils, which served as the medium for releasing spiritual power outwards, propelling Han Tao's spiritual power to permeate the entire palace.

"Soul Power, Reverse Frequency!"

All the Soul Masters present from the Star Luo Empire had their own corresponding Soul Power frequency.

With the manipulation of the Distraction Control Technique, more than 30 streams of soul power at different frequencies were transmitted to every corner of the space.

Davis's face froze: "What's going on?"

Encouraged by his father, he mustered the courage to face Han Tao, but he was unable to mobilize even a trace of soul power, which reminded him of the miserable scene he experienced when facing the Seven Treasures team in the Soul Master Competition.

"Father, you have brought such suffering upon your son."

Han Tao's resolve was firm: "Soul power, disabled!"

The reverse wave frequency can neutralize the enemy's soul power without them even realizing it.

Inside the palace, Soul Masters below the Soul Douluo level are currently unable to mobilize any Soul Power because they lack the [microstructure] of Soul Power.

Davis is just one of them.

Han Tao gazed once more at the profile of the Star Luo Emperor:

Are you satisfied now?
