Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Wang Teng thought for a moment, then shook his head.

It's better not to do things that are just icing on the cake.

He continued reading.

"Narcissus-like skin and bones..."

This plant is effective in nourishing tendons and bones, and clearing the eight extraordinary meridians.

The problem remains the same: Wang Teng already possesses the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Leg Bone, so the effects overlap.

Absorption is certainly not a bad thing, but it's not cost-effective.

There are many good things, but you can't eat everything you see; you have to choose the most suitable ones.

"The beautiful tulip..."

It can absorb the essence of the sun and moon to promote the evolution of martial spirit.

That's quite tempting, but I already have the "Explosive Warrior" talent, and the spinning top is constantly evolving.

Absorbing this plant again would likely have a similar effect; it's more of an added bonus.

They don't really match.

Wang Teng's gaze continued to move, sweeping over the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, before moving away from them one by one.

Neither of them are quite suitable.

He stood there, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

He muttered to himself, as if two little people were fighting in his head.

One person said, "Don't be picky, just pick any one. They're all miraculous herbs, how bad could they be?"

The other person said no, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we have to choose the most suitable one, otherwise it would be a pity to waste it.

Wang Teng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He stared at the small patch of magical herbs in front of him, his mind racing, breaking down the effects of each herb and considering his own situation repeatedly.

As the incense stick burned out, Wang Teng's heart gradually began to lean in one direction.

He began to re-examine his situation.

At this moment, Wang Teng has two talents on his cheat code panel.

One of his talents is "Explosive Warrior," which is self-evident as it is the foundation of his martial spirit.

Another talent is "Fire Without Fixed Circumstances".

The purpose of this talent is to allow the fire-attribute 'Soul Skill Spinning Top' to achieve the ultimate fire attribute under certain conditions.

Wang Teng's talent is key.

The rare herbs like Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and Narcissus Jade Bone are certainly good. Absorbing them will definitely be very beneficial, as they can enhance a Soul Master's cultivation, strengthen the body, or strengthen the meridians.

However, this type of magical herb doesn't quite match Wang Teng's talent.

These immortal herbs couldn't help Wang Teng's second soul skill summon the spinning top any further, let alone evolve it into the ultimate fire.

Therefore, all things considered, there are actually only two kinds of medicinal herbs that are truly suitable for Wang Teng.

That is either the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower or the Fiery Apricot.

But here comes the problem.

The Fiery Apricot Blossom cannot be taken alone; it needs to be taken with the Eight-Starred Ice Grass to achieve a balance between ice and fire.

If an ordinary Soul Master only absorbs the Fiery Apricot Blossom, they will surely die, burned to ashes by the violent fire poison.

However, Wang Teng does possess the talent of "Fire Without Fixed Circumstances," so if he only absorbs the Blazing Apricot Fairy Grass, he might be able to withstand it.

However, his chances of dying and surviving were only fifty-fifty; it was a gamble with his life.

"trouble."

Wang Teng scratched his head, feeling a surge of irritation.

Now, he has three paths before him.

The first path is to do what Tang San did in the original novel: absorb both the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom.

This choice offers the greatest advantage; the combination of ice and fire tempering will bring immeasurable benefits to Wang Teng.

However, Wang Teng was unsure whether his talent would have the opposite effect, since his talent was a fire-attribute talent.

Wang Teng wasn't sure if he could withstand the impact of ice and fire under the influence of his 'Fire Without Fixed Attribute' talent, after all, it was two extreme attribute immortal herbs entering his body at the same time.

The second path involves absorbing only the Phoenix Sunflower, a magical herb.

This is the safest and most reliable route.

Wang Teng judged that it was highly likely to succeed.

After all, the Phoenix Sunflower is a fire-attribute herb that matches his talent. Absorbing it should allow Wang Teng's fire-attribute spinning top to advance to a higher level.

However, seeing those two best medicinal herbs right in front of him, Wang Teng still felt somewhat unwilling.

Why give up the best and choose the second-best?

Oh right, there's a third way.

That means only absorbing the fiery apricot blossoms, gambling on the 50% chance of survival.

However, the risks of choosing this third path are similar to those of the first path, but the returns are vastly different.

Only a fool would choose that.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Wang Teng's attention finally settled on the first and second points.

"Should we take a big gamble, or play it safe?"

Wang Teng's gaze shifted back and forth between the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and the distant Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot.

On one side is stability, on the other is opportunity; on one side are tangible benefits, on the other are greater possibilities.

Fifteen minutes later, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Damn it, I'm betting!"

Take a gamble, and a bicycle can become a motorcycle; gamble again, and a motorcycle can become a Land Rover.

Since we're here, and since this opportunity is right in front of us, why would we pass up the best and choose something inferior?

Is absorbing one immortal herb the same as absorbing two immortal herbs?

Chapter 218 The Second Immortal Herb

One plant can only make him stronger, but two plants can completely transform him.

To become a god in the future, the foundation must be as solid as possible.

If we don't fight now, what will we use to compete with those monsters in the future?

Wang Teng took a deep breath, picked up the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item, and strode towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

The target—those two immortal herbs, one of ice and one of fire.

The closer one gets to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, the stronger the smell of sulfur in the air becomes, and the more obvious the temperature changes become.

A sweltering heatwave hits you from the left, while a biting chill permeates the right.

In just a few dozen meters, Wang Teng felt as if he had stepped from spring into a world of ice and fire.

At this moment, Wang Teng, holding the fragrant and exquisite immortal product in his arms, slowly walked forward step by step.

Beneath his feet lay hard rock, mottled and worn by years of heat and cold.

Wang Teng walked very slowly.

Because with every step he took, he could clearly feel the distinctly different temperatures on both sides of his body.

Wang Teng's left side felt like it was close to a furnace, while his right side was so cold that his hair stood on end.

Thus, it took Wang Teng five minutes to walk the short distance of a few dozen meters before he finally stood by the pool.

A circular pool of water appeared before Wang Teng's eyes.

The pool is about 100 meters in diameter.

The pool water is clearly divided into two halves, like the Jing and Wei rivers.

The left side was crimson, steaming with heat, and occasionally a few bubbles rose to the surface, splashing tiny sparks when they burst; the right side was snow-white, shrouded in cold mist, the surface as calm as a mirror, yet exuding a bone-chilling cold.

The red and white spring waters do not disturb each other, and a straight dividing line is formed at their boundary, as if an invisible barrier separates them.

In the red and white pools, a magical herb grows in each.

On the left, in the red spring water, a plant resembling a cabbage stands quietly, its entire body fiery red, with thick leaves and faint golden stripes along the edges—it is the Fiery Apricot.

It grows right in the middle of the spring, its roots plunging into the scalding red liquid, yet its leaves stretch out freely and unrestrained, as if the heat that could melt steel is merely nourishment for it.

In the white spring water on the right, there is a large white flower.

The petals are octagonal, layered upon layered, each one crystal clear, like an ice sculpture.

The flower's stamens are tiny ice crystals, shimmering faintly in the cold air; this is the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass.

It grows in the center of a cold pool, and the surrounding white mist is all caused by it.

Wang Teng stood by the pool and took a deep breath.

The reason Wang Teng was able to stand here unharmed at this moment was entirely due to the fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item he was holding in his arms.

The pink light shield enveloped Wang Teng's entire body, isolating him from the poisonous ice and fire emanating from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

If it weren't for this antidote to all poisons, Wang Teng would probably have died on the way.

"We can't delay any longer."

Wang Teng withdrew his gaze and began to act.

Just like before, he first summoned two spinning tops, preparing to dig a pit by the pool to temporarily house the fragrant and exquisite immortal products.

However, Wang Teng thought for a moment and then took a few steps back.
