Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 10: Choosing a Secondary Career (Please read on!!!)

"You were able to develop your Heavenly Origin Brush Martial Soul into an ink form by fusing your own soul power and the primordial energy of heaven and earth in just five days, to the point where you can autonomously control its explosion to cause secondary damage. This shows that your Heavenly Origin Brush has a very strong mechanism for fusing two kinds of power!"

"To control the ink explosion, you need to regulate the soul power during the ink fusion process. You were able to complete it within five days. The powerful mechanism of your martial soul is one aspect, but you yourself should also have talent in this area. Combining the two, if you truly gain the ability to control elements, you will definitely make rapid progress in areas such as elemental fusion."

Although Zhenhua said he did not specialize in elemental power, he was very familiar with the elements.

This is normal. When someone is struck by elemental lightning many times, they will definitely become familiar with it.

"I do have some experience in this area. If you acquire a similar soul skill in the future, you can ask me if you have any questions during the development process."

Makino glanced at Zhenhua in surprise.

Zhenhua crossed his arms and snorted coldly.

"What, can't I even mentor the younger generation?"

Zhenhua looked at Xu Yuan and asked, "Xiao Yuan, you come from the Spirit Pagoda, you should know the requirements for a Battle Armor Master, right? Have you decided on your secondary profession?"

Xu Yuan looked at Zhenhua's expectant eyes, but could only sigh inwardly.

Although there were master craftsmen ahead of him, Xu Yuan knew very well that his advantage did not lie in forging.

"Senior, I've actually already made my decision. I have an advantage in mental strength, so learning mecha design should go smoothly. Mecha design mostly involves theory, so I plan to continue studying mecha manufacturing as well. At the same time, I'll also learn the basics of mecha repair in these two subjects. So if I have enough energy, I'll choose to study mecha repair as well."

Xu Yuan's words surprised Zhenhua, and for a moment he did not feel regret for being rejected.

Can it be repaired three times?

You're so greedy, kid.

"No need to call me senior anymore, just call me Uncle-Master from now on." Zhenhua waved his hand, without explaining why Xu Yuan could call him Uncle-Master. "Don't be greedy, kid. There's a reason why the techniques required for Battle Armor Masters are divided into three parts. Each one is profound and complex, and mastering even one is enough to stump most Soul Masters."

Mu Ye also frowned and advised Xu Yuan.

"Xiao Yuan, you're not thinking that a Soul Master from ten thousand years ago could complete the creation of a Soul Tool all by himself, are you? This is not on the same level of difficulty. Although it seems to be divided into three, the content and difficulty of learning any of the current secondary professions are all higher than those of a Soul Master of the same level ten thousand years ago."

Makino himself is a mecha designer, so he naturally knows the difficulty involved.

While mecha designers may appear to be only at level nine, the differences between levels nine are vast, much like the nine levels of Title Douluo. The highest level, Limit Douluo, and a level ninety-one Title Douluo are completely different concepts. Even within Limit Douluo, there are three basic divisions, with differences exponentially. It's said that even the highest level, Quasi-God, has varying degrees of strength.

Since you've chosen a secondary profession, you should take it seriously instead of simply pursuing higher levels. Mech designers should aim for the highest level and not be content with just reaching level nine.

"Teacher, don't worry. I've also looked into these three professions. Actually, I was struggling with whether to choose them. If it didn't work out, I would give up and only choose mecha design as a secondary profession. But after awakening my martial spirit, I finally had the confidence to cultivate all three professions at the same time."

"Oh?" Makino Shinka and the others looked at Xu Yuan with curiosity, wanting to see what made this kid so confident.

"Teacher, Uncle-Master, didn't I mention before that my Martial Soul also has a pen-gun form?"

As Xu Yuan spoke, he mobilized his soul power, causing the Heavenly Origin Brush in his hand to change. The Heavenly Origin Brush instantly became larger, longer, and harder, and the tip of the brush emitted a metallic luster, transforming into a spear tip stained with black ink patterns.

With the Tianyuan Pen Spear in hand, Xu Yuan's aura also changed.

Zhenhua felt this change very clearly.

Similar to when the Tianyuan Pen first appeared.

"Your form can also mobilize the power of heaven and earth; this feeling seems to be a kind of momentum."

Xu Yuan nodded and explained, "Uncle-Master is right. My Martial Soul, the Heavenly Origin Brush, has a spear-like aura in its pen-spear form. In my future cultivation, I will focus on the pen-spear form, and only if I have extra energy will I develop the Heavenly Origin Brush form."

With an uncle who holds the position of Spirit Transmission Envoy and whose martial soul is also a spear, Xu Yuan has no reason not to focus on developing the pen-spear form. Of course, if he has spare energy, he will naturally not give up the pen form.

"I will definitely need to practice shooting, and while practicing shooting, I can also use the gun instead of the carving knife to make mecha, thus honing both skills at the same time."

Xu Yuan's reasons were quite valid, but neither Mu Ye nor Zhen Hua would believe his nonsense until they actually saw his achievements.

Similarly, before they actually started learning, they were unsure of Xu Yuan's talent in these areas. Perhaps he really had the potential to master all three professions without neglecting any of them, or even to promote and complement each other.

After all, if they weren't separated and made into true Soul Masters, no one would want to participate in only a part of the work; instead, they would prefer to be involved in the entire design and production of the Battle Armor.

"It's a pity that Xiao Yuan's heart is a bit too small at this time, otherwise he would have studied blacksmithing as well," Zhen Hua thought to himself.

If Xu Yuan had been more ambitious and had mastered all the professions from the beginning, then as a master craftsman, he would have had many ways to guide Xu Yuan to abandon other professions when he found that he didn't have enough energy, and ultimately retain forging.

Although Mu Ye wanted to persuade Xu Yuan about his choice of a secondary profession, he could only accept it helplessly and prepared to give him advice when Xu Yuan felt the strain.

Even Soul Masters have limited energy, otherwise it would be easy to make mistakes.

Makino himself is the best proof.

He also silently set a bottom line for Xu Yuan: if he could not achieve satisfactory results in three secondary professions before the age of ten, he would force Xu Yuan to give up the other two professions and specialize in mecha design.

"Does this pen-gun form of yours require soul power to maintain?" Mu Ye began to inquire about the details of Xu Yuan's martial soul.

If you combine your own secret technique with a spear-type martial soul, then it's a perfect match.

"Transforming into a new form requires soul power, but once the form changes, it's the same as maintaining an ordinary martial soul," Xu Yuan said.

Makino nodded, quite satisfied.

"I'll teach you marksmanship this month too."

As the sect leader of the Body Sect, he could be said to have some knowledge of all eighteen martial arts. Although he only had a superficial understanding, it was more than enough to teach Xu Yuan, a beginner.

Zhenhua, watching Xu Yuan's Heavenly Origin Pen Spear from the side, suddenly realized something.

"Is your father Xu Zhi?"
