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

Chapter 40 The Plan to Split the Martial Soul (Please continue reading!!!)

Xu Yuan did not forget his path.

The ultimate weapon spirit.

However, as he practiced, he also realized that he had strayed from the right path.

Fortunately, there's still a chance to salvage the situation.

Xu Yuan is very loving, cough cough, very learned. Because of the characteristics of his brain martial soul, he has an extraordinary talent for learning. He can learn many branches at the same time, and even the development of the two forms of his martial soul is not lagging behind at all.

The two innate forms of a martial soul are an advantage and a characteristic of the martial soul, but for Xu Yuan, they are also stumbling blocks.

Xu Yuan can learn two forms of combat, but he must make a decision and choose one when it comes to the development of his own martial soul.

Since he was pursuing the ultimate weapon spirit, Xu Yuan naturally hoped to develop his Heavenly Origin Spear into a divine weapon, a super divine weapon, or even beyond the realm of a super divine weapon.

However, if one becomes distracted during the development process...

Ultimately, the two forms are just one martial soul. If both forms are considered simultaneously when adding soul rings, the Heavenly Origin Spear will not be able to achieve its ultimate enhancement.

At the very least, it's impossible to achieve the ultimate enhancement for this Soul Ring slot.

However, with such a martial soul, and each of its two forms having its own strengths, is Xu Yuan really willing to give up one of them?

"I'm unwilling," Xu Yuan answered himself.

His ambition to master four secondary professions reveals that he's no child; he wants everything. He desires the Heavenly Origin Brush's ability to manipulate the primordial energy of heaven and earth, pursuing the path of elemental control, yet he's unwilling to relinquish the Heavenly Origin Spear's powerful offensive capabilities.

"The first spirit and the first spirit ring have not yet affected the two forms of the martial spirit, and they are very compatible. However, the second spirit ring will definitely be biased towards the Heavenly Origin Spear."

In this case, the improvement that the Tianyuan Pen will receive will be very small.

However, the existence of the Heavenly Origin Brush form will inevitably affect the Five Elements Spear Spirit's ability to add a second soul ring to the Heavenly Origin Spear. It may be negligible, but it will definitely exist.

"Splitting the Martial Soul!"

"Separate the two forms of your martial soul!"

Xu Yuan had an idea, and at the same time, he felt an inexplicable sense of urgency.

"I want to complete the split before level 20."

But how should it be divided?

Xu Yuan thought of his father and his idea of ​​using a companion soul to replace a martial soul for cultivation.

"Father's path is not thorough enough. Companion spirits can not only make up for the deficiencies of martial spirits and allow soul masters to cultivate soul power, but can also completely replace the position of martial spirits."

In this respect, Ji Juechen did a thorough job.

Xu Yuan accessed Ji Juechen's information through Shrek Academy's internal network and learned more about his cultivation journey.

Ji Juechen possesses innate soul power at level three and his martial soul is the Iron Sword, an ordinary iron sword without any special abilities. The reason he became powerful is because he infused his soul into the sword, perfectly integrating his martial soul into the extraterrestrial meteorite iron, gradually forging the meteorite iron into his own sword.

In other words, he completely transformed the meteorite iron from outer space into his sword and his martial spirit.

Xu Yuan could refer to his template and integrate his Heavenly Origin Spear into the Five Elements Spear Spirit, completely transforming it into another existence similar to a Martial Soul.

However, the Five Elements Spear Spirit is the soul spirit of the Heavenly Origin Brush, and has already provided the Heavenly Origin Brush with a soul ring. If it is completely separated, how can the Heavenly Origin Brush's first soul skill be guaranteed?

Xu Yuan knew that even if the soul spirit was removed, the soul skills that had already been given would still exist, but the power of the soul skills would be greatly reduced.

It seems acceptable, but in reality, it is something Xu Yuan cannot tolerate. Even if the power of controlling the five elements can be enhanced through development, a weak foundation will ultimately limit the upper limit.

Moreover, whether this spirit ring can continue to be upgraded in the future is also a question.

"Let's figure out Ji Juechen's specific methods first." Xu Yuan rubbed his temples and could only make a preliminary plan.

Shrek Academy and Tang Sect are so close, they should have Ji Juechen's cultivation information, right?

I must do a thorough search when I go to the archives tomorrow.

"I also need to brush up on my knowledge of the soul contract array and see if I can minimize the damage to the Heavenly Origin Brush form caused by the splitting of the martial soul."

the next day.

Xu Yuan went to various associations and received a task from each one.

Unlike the assessment, the association's tasks are much more complicated. It takes several hours to complete one task, and a task may involve not just one or two parts, but a whole set.

Even Xu Yuan could only complete one task from one association per day.

On this day, Xu Yuan completed a mission from the Mecha Design Association, the reward of which was only one hundred contribution points.

With the association's mission accomplished, Xu Yuan then devoted himself to the archives.

As he wished, Ji Juechen's cultivation path was indeed recorded in the academy's archives, and it was quite complete.

Indeed, as a sacred place for Soul Master cultivation, Shrek Academy's systems are well-established, and its collection of cultivation theories is undoubtedly excellent. Even if Ji Juechen isn't from Shrek, he is from the Tang Sect. Shrek wouldn't have paid much to obtain such a unique cultivation experience from the Tang Sect, and over ten thousand years, there would surely have been an opportunity to include it in the archives.

"The carrier?" The key point that Xu Yuan extracted from between the lines gave him a headache.

This is the key thing he lacks.

Although the Five Elements Spear Spirit was made based on rare metals, its essence is still a spirit similar to a soul, without a physical form.

Only after it was born and separated from that rare metal could it be considered a soul.

Without a physical form, it's impossible to integrate a martial spirit into it?

Because martial spirits are inherently illusory, they require the binding force of a physical entity like extraterrestrial meteorite iron to allow them to merge into the physical body.

Looking at Ji Juechen's reflections on his cultivation path, Xu Yuan fell into deep thought.

"My Five Elements Spear Spirit has no physical form."

"If I had the same feelings and experiences as Huo Yuhao in obtaining a second or especially a third martial soul, I should be able to break free from Ji Juechen's method of splitting martial souls."

However, Huo Yuhao did not leave behind any cultivation insights or experiences.

If Xu Yuan wants to continue his plan, he can split his martial soul while retaining its characteristics and continue to add soul rings to enhance it. He can only follow Ji Juechen's path.

So, the plan is going to fall apart right at the beginning?

Should we curb our ambitions a bit and honestly continue cultivating our martial souls, which have two forms?

Xu Yuan sat behind his desk in the archives, leaning back in his chair, staring at the ceiling, his thoughts wandering.

He appeared to be daydreaming, but in reality, his brain was still working, thinking, and trying to find a solution.

He knew that what he needed at this moment was not rationality, but imagination—the imagination that would support him in completing this plan and provide him with direction.

The divergent thinking never stopped.

"To forge a true spear, infusing it with the spirits of the five elements? And then to integrate it with the essence of the Heavenly Origin Spear form within the Martial Soul?"

It can be used as an alternative.

"Besides forging a long spear in reality to contain the soul and the original form of the Heavenly Origin Spear, what else can bear all of this?"
