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

Chapter 19 Xu Shengqun's Plan (Please read on!!!)

Xu Yuan was troubled.

We were unable to give the soul a name.

Fortunately, the Five Elements Spear Spirit has not yet developed true intelligence, so Xu Yuan is not in a hurry to name it, but it is obviously only a matter of time.

Perhaps other Soul Masters don't care as much about the name of their Soul Spirit, but Xu Yuan is different.

This Five Elements Spear Spirit is destined to reach the pinnacle with him, and is also destined to grow and transform together with his Martial Soul, ultimately becoming a divine artifact or even a super divine artifact.

This is Xu Yuan's goal, or rather, his ambition.

Putting the naming aside for the time being, Xu Yuan gave instructions to his soul.

The advantage of a spirit lies in its very existence; it is an extension of the spirit master's perception. Powerful spirits even possess the ability to think independently and can activate spirit skills on their own, without the spirit master needing to control them.

Of course, the soul power consumed by a soul spirit when using a soul skill is also the soul power of the soul master.

However, with the cooperation of the spirit, the overall strength of the spirit master will inevitably experience a qualitative leap.

Xu Yuan's Five Elements Spear Spirit possesses considerable spirituality and the instincts of a spear. Although it cannot participate in battle independently like a sentient soul, it can still obey Xu Yuan's commands.

Xu Yuan held the Tianyuan Spear, and the spear spirit merged into it, making the circulation of his soul power much easier. In particular, the manipulation and application of the five elements in the Tianyuan Spear became smoother and more natural.

Transforming its form, the spear spirit merges into the Heavenly Origin Brush.

After fusing with the soul, the bristles of Xu Yuan's Heavenly Origin Brush changed. They were no longer hair-like bristles, but instead revealed a metallic luster and became more resilient.

The spear spirit merged into the Heavenly Origin Brush, and the bristles of the brush tip transformed into a spear shape, just like when Xu Yuan transformed his form before.

At first glance, it seems to have no effect.

In reality, the effect was far greater, directly unifying the two forms of Xu Yuan's martial soul, allowing him to use spear techniques simultaneously in the Heavenly Origin Brush form without needing to change forms.

Moreover, the first soul skill of the Heavenly Origin Spear is ultimately a spear technique. In the form of the Heavenly Origin Brush, it can mobilize the five elements. As long as Xu Yuan masters the Five Elements Spear Technique, he will be able to use the Five Elements Spear Technique when the Heavenly Origin Brush merges with the spear spirit to become a brush-spear.

Possessing the abilities of both a warrior and a mage!

Of course, to bring this ability to its fullest potential and develop combat techniques best suited to this condition, a great deal of effort is required.

Xu Yuan already had many tasks, and now this one added to his list, making his future cultivation life even more arduous.

However, Xu Yuan did not regret it.

Although his daily cultivation tasks are very heavy, he has always enjoyed them.

For someone who has lived for over twenty years and can only satisfy their adolescent urges through fantasy novels, entering this real fantasy world and experiencing the cultivation process firsthand can be addictive.

Xu Yuan is an example of this.

Let alone someone who has been craving cultivation for twenty years in their past life, even a child born in this world might become addicted to it.

After absorbing the soul, Xu Yuan incorporated the cultivation of his soul skills into his daily training.

The timeline was able to be adjusted because Zhenhua streamlined Xu Yuan's forging tasks. Zhenhua was not an unreasonable person; he knew that Xu Yuan could not give up the path of a Soul Master, so he no longer required Xu Yuan to do a lot of forging every day, but only once a week. The rest of the time, he only needed to do theoretical review and analysis.

Time passed by in fulfilling practice.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed since Xu Yuan awakened his martial spirit.

When he awakened, he only had level seven innate soul power. A month later, he fused with his first soul spirit, advanced to Soul Master, and directly reached level thirteen soul power.

Over the next eleven months, Xu Yuan's soul power also increased rapidly at a rate of one level every two months, and it is now at level eighteen.

"Xiao Yuan." Xu Shengqun found Xu Yuan and interrupted him as he was preparing to practice his soul skill.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

In just one year, Xu Yuan's body developed rapidly.

In the Douluo Continent, after a Soul Master awakens their Martial Soul, in addition to the natural development of their body, they will also undergo changes as their Martial Soul transforms and their Soul Power increases.

The most common scenario is that the increase in soul power leads to physical development; what is relatively rare is that a breakthrough in soul power can revitalize the body.

Xu Yuan's development was not too abnormal, but if he could only be called a child a year ago, he is now a teenager. Because he has been practicing marksmanship every day for the past year, his brows are filled with a sharp temperament.

"Xiao Yuan, do you still remember the direction your uncle planned for you?"

Xu Shengqun looked at his nephew in front of him with great emotion and a sense of pride.

Xu Yuan is his nephew, and he was personally trained by him. As for Mu Ye, it was Xu Shengqun who contacted him and made Xu Yuan become his apprentice. Zhen Hua's guidance to Xu Yuan in forging also had Mu Ye's influence. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Xu Yuan was trained by him.

Establishing a direction and plan is also a form of cultivation, and it is a fundamental form of cultivation.

Therefore, Xu Shengqun is quite confident in his planning abilities.

"Shrek?" Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and realized what his uncle was talking about.

He quickly frowned.

"Uncle, is Shrek Academy recruiting students this year? You want me to go and participate in the recruitment now?"

Xu Shengqun smiled and shook his head.

"Of course not. Although you have a chance of passing Shrek Academy's recruitment with your current abilities, it's still not a sure thing."

Xu Shengqun had some understanding of Shrek Academy's admission requirements.

Shrek Academy's recruitment methods are limited to a few tricks each year. Over time, the higher-ups of various factions have become familiar with the general process. However, to ensure the effectiveness of Shrek's assessments, they have an agreement with the various factions not to reveal this information to their juniors.

Shrek Academy has certain requirements for willpower and mentality when recruiting students. Xu Shengqun's concern is not Xu Yuan's willpower, but rather his mentality.

It's not that Xu Yuan has a bad character, but rather that he's too good.

Xu Yuan, who seems to be born with knowledge, has a very clear mind, but because of this, he lacks the youthful spirit. He thinks about problems very comprehensively, but he may also be eliminated because he is too realistic in his thinking.

Of course, the possibility of this is actually very low.

However, once you are eliminated at this stage, there will be no chance to come back three years later.

Therefore, Xu Shengqun was not in a hurry to make Xu Yuan participate in Shrek Academy's recruitment this year.

Even with Xu Yuan's current talent, passing this exam would almost certainly make him a shoo-in for an inner court disciple.

"Entering Shrek Academy too early isn't good for you either."

All the assessments were secondary. What was most important was that Xu Shengqun didn't want Xu Yuan to enter Shrek Academy too early. Shrek Academy was very strong, but it also had a terrifying brainwashing ability.
