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

Chapter 48 Two "Ordinary" Soul Skills?

Xu Yuan felt somewhat helpless.

He couldn't understand why the dream demon's cry was a hum.

However, this was communication conducted through mental power, and Xu Yuan was able to roughly understand its meaning.

"You're saying you haven't grown up yet? That's unfair!"

Xu Yuan was waiting for Meng Yao to be so defiant.

"But I'm only seven years old, which means I've just awakened my martial soul among human soul masters."

The little dream demon's angry eyes widened in surprise, and for a moment it seemed a little flustered, making it look quite comical.

"I could actually force you to merge, but I don't want my partner to become my enemy in the future, so I need to make that clear before merging," Xu Yuan coaxed. "When you encounter a powerful Soul Master, you'll eventually have to merge with them. The ones who chose you before were probably weaker Soul Masters; the powerful Soul Masters who have grown up just don't care about your cultivation level."

"But you should know that humans have a Spirit Ascension Platform. The age limit is not a threshold in the eyes of truly powerful Soul Masters. If they really have their eye on you, you can't escape."

"Since they're all going to be fused anyway, why not choose me, the most talented Soul Master?"

Xu Yuan used the most familiar tactics he had ever seen to persuade him.

In fact, this is also the most useful.

The little dream demon stopped struggling haphazardly and began to seriously consider the reasoning Xu Yuan had given.

"Hmph hmph hmph~~~" (You humans are all bad people)

"There are good and bad soul beasts too. It's a law of the jungle among them. Humans need soul spirits, which is why they capture soul beasts. Besides, this is only the practice of some soul masters. You can't generalize it to all of humanity, can you?"

The ghostly orb of light from the dream demon coalesced into two arm-like parts, which it clasped together and turned its head sharply to the side.

"Hmph~" (What you said makes a lot of sense)

"Then become my partner."

Xu Yuan extended an invitation.

"Hmph~"

Xu Yuan began refining the Dream Demon's essence.

With cooperation, the process was quick.

outside world.

Zhenhua Muye breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the yellow spirit ring begin to condense around Xu Yuan's body.

The yellow spirit ring condensed quickly, taking only half an hour to condense. However, as soon as the first yellow spirit ring was placed on Xu Yuan, the second spirit ring began to condense in succession.

An hour passed in total, and Xu Yuan's two spirit rings were finally condensed.

Upon opening his eyes, Xu Yuan felt his brain was moving faster than ever before.

"How's the soul skill?" Zhenhua asked curiously.

This dream demon is a rare soul beast with strange abilities. It is a pure energy body. What kind of soul skill can it be given?

"Fortunately, they are all within the normal range of soul skills," Xu Yuan said after carefully sensing them.

"Oh?"

A soul skill within the normal range?

Zhenhua and Muye all looked at Xu Yuan, wanting to hear what the normal range was.

Could the Dream Demon Soul I acquired at such a cost be trash?

"My first soul skill is Spiritual Link, which allows me to connect with other people's spiritual energy for more efficient communication? It might be quite useful in team battles."

When Xu Yuan sensed his own soul skill, his first impression was that it was comparable to Huo Yuhao's spiritual sharing.

"As for the second soul skill, it is Dream Space, which is a kind of illusion technique. It can pull the enemy into a dream space that I have created to punish them."

He could only sense the general scope of the abilities; the true effects of the soul skills still needed to be tested.

However, based solely on simple perception of abilities, Xu Yuan was indeed correct in saying that these two soul skills fall within the scope of normal soul skills.

"Spiritual connection? Is it a connection with mental power? Or a connection with the soul?" Zhenhua frowned.

"I don't know." Xu Yuan shook his head.

"Try connecting to this using your first soul skill." Zhenhua didn't hesitate and directly took out a piece of rare metal from his storage soul tool.

Xu Yuan was taken aback.

He quickly realized what was happening and immediately activated his soul skill.

"First Soul Skill: Mental Link!"

Xu Yuan suddenly felt his mental energy connected with a chaotic and blurry mass.

He looked up at Zhenhua and nodded.

"This metal is soul-forged; let's try spirit-forged metal next."

Zhenhua replaced it with a rare metal.

Xu Yuan tried again.

"It can be connected, but it's very disorganized and difficult to communicate."

"Yes, that's right. Although the metal from the spirit forging is full of spirituality and has been awakened with life, it is still very low in intelligence." Zhenhua changed to another piece of metal.

"This is a rare metal of the highest grade, refined a thousand times. It already has a faint spiritual quality. Try to connect with it."

Xu Yuan activated his soul skill again.

It is not related to any specific goal.

However, he could sense that faint spirituality.

Zhenhua laughed after hearing Xu Yuan's description of his insights.

"The role of your first soul skill in battle is similar to what you thought, but its scope is very broad. It can connect with more than just human soul masters. It can communicate with any intelligent being, and even establish a weak connection with the faint spirituality of rare metals."

Xu Yuan pursed his lips.

He knew what this soul skill represented.

This indicates that his communication with metal will be very smooth.

Whether it's advancing to the fourth level of forging and awakening the metal's spirituality, or communicating with the metal's spirituality when upgrading other secondary professions to the fourth level, it's countless times easier than for other Soul Masters.

Moreover, it's not just about leveling up to level four; its effects are felt in all aspects of dealing with rare metals after you reach the fourth secondary profession.

This single soul skill alone can greatly alleviate the pressure on Xu Yuan to simultaneously cultivate four secondary professions.

"Your second soul skill should be pretty good too. You can try it if you have the chance." Zhenhua and Muye's mental strength was too high, so Xu Yuan didn't use it on them.

Such illusions are generally easy to backfire on.

Even if they restrain their mental power, the two might still instinctively resist, which would still be dangerous for Xu Yuan.

"When are we going to ascend to the Spirit Realm?" Makino asked.

"How about we form a blood-qi contract first?" Xu Yuan suggested.

"Alright, your brain must be working even better now. Go through the Qi and Blood Contract technique again first," Zhenhua said. "You need me to prepare the magic array first, so give it to me."

"it is good."

The entire contract formation was very complex, and it would take Xu Yuan most of a day to review it.

He first spent three hours arranging the external magic array and then handed it over to Zhenhua.

Zhenhua began to inscribe the magic array that Xu Yuan needed in the forging room.

Xu Yuan continued to review the content of the other two parts. Everything was fine, so he began to analyze the combined effect of the three parts.

After confirming everything was correct, Zhenhua had completed the inscription of the magic circle.

"Check if there are any mistakes or omissions," Zhenhua asked.

"No problem, Uncle-Master, let's begin."

"Okay, but remember, your goal today is simply to integrate your Qi and Blood into the contract and sign a soul-like contract with the Five Elements Spear Spirit. Do not attempt any other operations for now," Zhenhua finally instructed.

There are always people saying that the protagonist cultivates so much that it's easy to spread his energy.

Honestly, what's wrong with using your god-level learning ability to learn professions below the four god levels in Douluo Continent?

Why not cultivate all four professions, wait until you've mastered all of them to the peak of your existing skills, then integrate the four professions and seek an opportunity to reach a higher, god-like level?

As long as you can keep up with all the subjects you learn, there shouldn't be any problems, right? The more you learn, the more you'll accumulate knowledge and experience after you reach the point of no return, allowing you to find potential breakthroughs from that accumulated knowledge.

As for those who say I'm too confident or that I'm behaving like a god, I won't argue with you. Can't you even have any ambition?
