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

Chapter 6: The First Soul Spirit is Confirmed (Please add to your favorites!!!)

Xu Shengqun knew his nephew quite well.

Since you've said it out loud, there must be a reason.

He also wanted to hear why Xu Yuan felt that the ability to materialize was not suitable for him, and why he did not want to absorb vine-type souls.

"My martial soul, the Heavenly Origin Brush, has indeed mutated into some special abilities. I've been exploring them these past few days. In the Heavenly Origin Brush form, my soul power can be fused with the external spiritual energy through the brush, condensing into ink for attack. I think that even if I were to develop my martial soul, this should be the main direction. The system of manifesting soul beasts for combat is not suitable for me."

Xu Shengqun was taken aback.

His attention was focused on one of Xu Yuan's words.

"The Heavenly Origin Brush takes different forms?" He stepped forward, grabbed Xu Yuan's shoulder, and shook him, saying, "Your Heavenly Origin Brush can change forms?"

Xu Yuan nodded, released his Martial Soul Heavenly Origin Brush, and transformed it into a brush-spear.

Seeing the Heavenly Origin Brush in Xu Yuan's hand quickly transform into a pen-spear, Xu Shengqun was immediately excited.

gun!

He knows this very well.

Upon careful observation of the Tianyuan Pen Spear, Xu Shengqun quickly discovered its unique aura.

"Does your gun form inherently possess a gun-like aura?"

Xu Yuan nodded and explained, "That's right. I've felt the general momentum of this spear over the past few days. It's unstoppable, unstoppable, using the grand Dao to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to suppress everything!"

Xu Shengqun nodded repeatedly.

"Is this the strength of a mutated martial soul?"

Even if the result of the mutation is only the seventh level of innate soul power, the foundation of the mutation has undoubtedly reached the level of a top-level martial soul. If the soul spirit is chosen well and some rare and precious materials are absorbed, it will be no problem for this Heavenly Origin Pen Spear to be upgraded to a top-level martial soul.

Not only does the brain's martial spirit have room for improvement, but even the Heavenly Origin Brush has a foreseeable future of enhancement.

"Your Heavenly Origin Brush is likely a mutation resulting from the fusion of your parents' two martial souls. This is extremely rare across the entire continent. You can consider your martial soul as being innately a martial soul fusion skill," Xu Shengqun exclaimed.

Xu Yuan's father, Xu Zhi, was a researcher with outstanding research abilities. In addition to providing Xu Shengqun with cultivation advice and analysis on soul selection, Xu Zhi also influenced Xu Shengqun in various ways during their usual exchanges, such as in research.

Xu Shengqun is not a researcher, but he has a high level of understanding of martial spirits and analysis of some basic theories.

"If that's really the case, your martial soul is extraordinary." Xu Shengqun pondered for a moment before offering this assessment. "Of course, whether it's as I suspect depends on how your martial soul changes in the future."

Xu Yuan didn't care about any of that.

He himself has actually analyzed his own martial spirit.

It's difficult to draw a definitive conclusion now that we haven't fully explored the possibilities.

Everything depends on the subsequent abilities of the martial soul.

At this moment, Xu Shengqun was actually most excited about Xu Yuan's Tianyuan Pen Spear form.

This means that Xu Yuan can inherit his marksmanship.

The unstoppable, unstoppable spear thrust did indeed resonate to some extent with his Heavenly Saint Void-Breaking Spear Intent.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Xiao Yuan, I think I've suddenly thought of a spirit that would be perfect for you."

As he spoke, Xu Shengqun smiled and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's fate, it can only be said that it's fate."

Xu Yuan looked at his uncle with some confusion and doubt.

After a moment of reflection, Xu Shengqun looked at Xu Yuan and said with a smile, "Xiao Yuan, I can confirm your first soul spirit. It must be the most suitable soul spirit for you."

"Uncle, what kind of spirit is it?" Xu Yuan pressed.

He didn't want his uncle to keep him in suspense about this.

Unfortunately, there were some factors in his consideration that he genuinely couldn't explain to Xu Shengqun, which might have led to some discrepancies.

Xu Shengqun had no choice but to tell Xu Yuan about the spirit.

Do you know why your father was able to become the deputy director?

Xu Yuan shook his head.

"Because of the subject your father was researching, he was researching methods of cultivating the soul."

Soul cultivation method?

Upon hearing the name, Xu Yuan's first thought was that the core of this project was to enable the soul to cultivate.

However, Xu Shengqun's explanation quickly corrected his thinking.

"Don't take it literally. The soul cultivation method your father researched isn't a method for cultivating souls, or rather, that's not the goal," Xu Shengqun said with a smile, recalling that he himself had also misunderstood it back then.

"The Soul Spirit Cultivation Method is essentially about using the Soul Spirit to supplement the Martial Soul and assist the Soul Master in cultivation."

Using the false to cultivate the true?

After hearing his uncle's explanation, Xu Yuan's first reaction was this.

Is your martial spirit too weak to cultivate? Then use your soul spirit to cultivate.

"Unfortunately, this project could not be completed in the end. However, your father was—well, very eloquent, and given the promising prospects of this project if it had succeeded, the Spirit Pagoda approved it."

"After extensive research, they ultimately proved it to be false."

Xu Yuan stared at Xu Shengqun, completely bewildered.

He had just listened to Xu Shengqun introduce this method and was already enjoying the benefits of the project being nearing completion or expected to succeed when Xu Shengqun suddenly disproved it.

this.

"There's no other way. The core of this project is actually to allow ordinary people who haven't reached level ten or even have no soul power to form a contract with a soul spirit in advance. Your father had a good idea back then, and it was very reasonable, which is why he won the approval of the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda."

"But the more they researched it, the more they proved from various aspects that this was impossible. Fortunately, by chance, his research greatly helped to improve the lifespan of the soul, that is, the technological breakthrough of the Ascension Platform."

"In addition, they have another achievement, which is also the latest branch of the soul."

Xu Yuan was filled with anticipation at this moment.

This must be the first soul spirit that my uncle was talking about that was right for me.

"This branch can be called a metal spirit. It is a type of artificial spirit. It is not a spirit created by replicating the genes of any spirit beast, but a spirit created entirely by modifying metal using spirit guidance technology."

Xu Yuan felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing the word "metal spirit".

It only dawned on me after careful recollection.

Isn't this Xie Xie's first soul in the original work?

"The technology of metal spirits is not perfect. In fact, the Spirit Tower has not invested much in this area, and has only produced a dozen or so metal spirits, most of which are only ten-year spirits."

"I'm not talking about those spirits, of course. I'm talking about the spirit your father personally participated in the research process. It's a hundred-year-old spirit, and what's different about it is that it's not just a metal spirit, but a spirit formed from metal shaped into a spear."

"It's not that it looks like a spear, but that the power it contains, and even the very essence of its soul, are guided by the intent of the spear."
