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

Chapter 46 Two and a half months, the improvement of mental strength

After completing the qi and blood condensation, Xu Yuan returned to the academy.

Despite Mu Ye's instructions, he decided to further refine the magic array.

Meanwhile, Mu Ye returned to Tian Dou City to find Zhen Hua and asked him to help him mobilize a soul spirit from the Spirit Pagoda—a soul spirit that was very compatible with Xu Yuan.

As the eldest uncle, Xu Shengqun naturally had the ability, but he did not want Xu Yuan's twin martial souls to be exposed so early, so he did not plan to mobilize them himself. He was only responsible for helping Xu Yuan select the best soul spirits for the Spirit Transmission Tower. As for how to obtain them, for the time being, he could only do so through Zhenhua.

Back at the academy, Xu Yuan tested his mental strength.

"347".

It's practically 350 mental strength.

Three months ago, Xu Yuan's mental strength was only 260.

After three months of cultivation, Xu Yuan broke through the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique. He was already using the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique to replenish his energy and ensure sufficient training. Moreover, there was another cultivation session at the Sea God Pavilion, during which Xu Yuan experienced a small enlightenment and his spiritual power also improved slightly.

In addition to this condensation of Qi and blood power, there was also a breakthrough in soul power.

With this continuous boost, his mental strength increased by nearly 100 points in just three months!

This is not the most exaggerated part. For Xu Yuan, the key to improving his spiritual power is the condensation of his blood and qi. The feedback to his spiritual power at the moment of completion of the condensation is not obvious. The real and greatest benefit is that after condensing the blood and qi, he can use the power of the blood and qi to temper his body. At this stage, Xu Yuan's physique is sufficient to not restrict the growth of his spiritual power.

"Next, I'll focus my cultivation on the Brain Martial Soul and see its limits!"

Zhenhua is extremely efficient.

The only master craftsman on the continent also had great influence. On the third day, Mu Ye called Xu Yuan and told him that as long as his mental strength value broke through 500 points and reached the Spirit Sea Realm, he could absorb the first soul spirit for his brain martial soul.

Having mastered the power of qi and blood, Xu Yuan had even more cultivation options available.

Using the power of Qi and blood to verify the magic array and adjust his perfected contract magic array is only an extension of the original work on the development of the contract. Xu Yuan also needs to add the cultivation of the power of Qi and blood and the adjustment of the power of Qi and blood to replace the soul power to perform the Devouring Heaven and Earth Great Technique.

After switching to the power of Qi and Blood, Xu Yuan tried his best to use the power of the Five Elements Spear Spirit to transform into the power of the Five Elements to perform the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique, which can also be regarded as a way to get in touch with the power of Qi and Blood and the Five Elements Spear Spirit in advance.

time flies.

Two and a half months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In just two and a half months, Xu Yuan's mental strength increased by over 100 again, reaching 460!

This is the result of his change in meditation goals.

This effect fully demonstrates his talent in mental strength as a martial soul in the brain.

It was precisely because of this abnormal talent for mental strength that Xu Yuan proposed, when he was brain-based, that the martial soul should not cultivate the physical body, but rather the spirit, as a breakthrough point for the spirit to condense the soul ring.

If we were to say that there were other significant factors influencing his rapid improvement in mental strength, the constraints he had previously faced might also be considered. Back then, Xu Yuan had already begun to improve his physical qualities, so one could imagine how much his mental strength was constrained by his physical body.

Having cultivated one's physical constitution to the required level ahead of time, and without the limitations of the physical body, a fierce rebound naturally begins.

Furthermore, the secret techniques of the main body!

Meditation space.

Xu Yuan's consciousness looked at the almost completely condensed brain phantom in front of him.

He had cultivated for a year before, but his progress was not as great as it had been in the past two and a half months. This was also an important reason for the rapid improvement in his mental strength.

The Body Secret Technique is not a cultivation method for spiritual power, but it can be used for Xu Yuan.

At this moment, the illusory image of the brain has almost solidified.

Today, Xu Yuan intends to fully condense it into a physical form, allowing the brain to take shape in the meditation space, placing it alongside the Heavenly Origin Brush Martial Soul.

Once it solidifies and takes shape, there will be a major breakthrough.

Xu Yuan was very much looking forward to it.

"My mental strength is approaching 500 points and the rate of increase has started to slow down. There are still 40 points left. I hope that this breakthrough in the secret technique will directly help me break through the 500-point bottleneck."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan began to circulate his body's secret technique.

The power of Qi and blood flows into the brain.

Meditation, visualization.

boom!

Within the meditation space, the brain is fully formed, floating side by side with the Tianyuan Pen in the center of the space.

As it solidified, Xu Yuan's experience during meditation became completely different.

At this moment, he had a clearer understanding of his own brain.

It was even more incredible than the feeling one had of the Heavenly Origin Brush, an external martial spirit, during meditation.

"According to the secret method of the main body, after the visualized main body martial soul is solidified, it is necessary to communicate with the spiritual power and resonate with the sea of ​​spirit."

According to the records of the Body Sect, the Body Martial Soul has shortcomings. This can be seen from the fact that the Martial Soul can only be perceived through consciousness during meditation and cannot be manifested in the meditation space. The reason is that the connection between the Body Martial Soul and the Sea of ​​Spirit is too low.

After the visualized Martial Soul is solidified in the meditation space, and then resonates with the Sea of ​​Spirit, the Martial Soul will undergo a significant change. It can be said to be the first transformation of the Martial Soul, with a slight improvement in quality.

This is also the key to ensuring that a Soul Master with a low-quality original Soul can cultivate to the Soul Master or Soul King level and attempt a second awakening of their original Soul.

"I completed the first step of resonance directly." Xu Yuan felt his spiritual sea and discovered that the moment his brain solidified, he naturally communicated with the spiritual sea.

A clear mind.

Xu Yuan felt that his thinking had suddenly become much clearer.

It should be noted that Xu Yuan's Brain Martial Soul had already greatly enhanced his thinking ability, making his thinking ability far surpass that of an adult. Now, he can still have this feeling of sudden clarity, which means that the enhancement of his thinking ability is obviously even more terrifying.

"My mental strength must have broken through 500 points!"

Xu Yuan was about to give it a test.

Shrek Academy's dormitories did not have any supporting mental strength testing equipment, but Xu Yuan's uncle was a spirit messenger. After settling into his dormitory after enrollment, Xu Shengqun delivered a set of testing equipment to him using a storage soul tool.

This was also to make it easier for Xu Yuan to cultivate his spiritual power.

With the helmet on, Xu Yuan's mental energy became unprecedentedly active. He unleashed his mental energy to its fullest extent, and without any stimulation, this fluctuation was detected by the sensors on the helmet.

'523'!

Breakthrough!

Xu Yuan looked at the number and smiled.

Seven years old, Spirit Sea Realm!

"Mental strength is what gives me the confidence to compete with those two freaks."

Upon achieving a breakthrough in mental strength, Xu Yuan immediately made a phone call.

"Feed?"

"Teacher, I can now fuse with a soul."

"Huh?" Makino's mind didn't quite process it for a moment.

What's going on?

It's only been two and a half months, hasn't it?

Mu Ye remembered that when he was informed last time that Xu Yuan's soul had been successfully retrieved from the Spirit Pagoda, he had asked about it.

Wasn't it only 350 back then?

"I have completed the cultivation of the Heaven-Mending Secret Technique," Xu Yuan explained.

Makino suddenly realized.

That seems plausible, doesn't it?

"Now that you've broken through, why don't you take some time to visit Heaven Dou City?"

Let's do the math, this isn't actually that abnormal.

Although Gu Yue is only 270 at ten years old, I feel that data for Gu Yue at this stage cannot be taken seriously.

Just like the secondary setting I provided, the improvement of mental strength is limited by physical fitness. She didn't show the Silver Dragon King's physical advantage in the early stages. Even if the Silver Dragon King wasn't good at physical strength, he certainly wouldn't be weak. But perhaps there was a problem with his transformation, or she deliberately sealed this part, so that she only showed her elemental control ability in the early stages.

The protagonist's rapid improvement is due to the condensation of his qi and blood, combined with medicinal baths and his own secret techniques, which temporarily boosted his physique. His physical attributes have now reached or even surpassed those of Gu Yue at thirteen years old. Such a level of mental strength cannot be considered exaggerated.

Also, in the early stages of the original Douluo Continent III, the events take place in Donghai City. The numerical values, along with the exaggerated elements in the novel, might suggest that a ten-year-old with over 200 points of mental strength is already inhuman, etc.

Of course, the last point is that this is the mental talent I set for the protagonist. As mentioned before, the increase in mental strength that comes with physical development is more than ten times that of an ordinary person.
