Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

After stuffing all the food from the bowl into his stomach, Tian Hao drank some soup to cleanse his mouth while stroking Xiao Ha's back. Whether he could get that opportunity depended on Xiao Ha.

Xiao Ha is a soul beast with two hundred years of cultivation. Its appearance is very similar to that of a husky in the previous life. It was adopted by his great-great-great-grandfather in the Soul Hunting Forest. His father said that Xiao Ha's parents had both died and it was still nursing. If it was not taken care of, it would not survive. So he brought it back to raise it.

So Xiao Ha has seen off several generations of the Tian family, and is also a close family member of theirs.

At the same time, the spirit ring in his spirit sea was obtained by taking Xiao Ha to that spirit beast clan to communicate with them. In fact, the spirit rings of several generations of his family were obtained in the same way.

After all, it's better to avoid fighting when acquiring spirit rings, otherwise it would be a loss if you got injured or even died.

Of course, the main reason is that most spirit-type spirit beasts live in groups and rarely go alone, so there is no way to fight them unless you spend a lot of money to hire a high-level spirit master team.

"Sword Douluo's father should be coming to challenge the Grand Elder soon!"

Thinking to himself, Tian Hao had specifically inquired about it. The War Soul Sect still exists today, and its inherited martial soul is the Seven Kill Sword. The current sect master is Chen Jianjun, and his son Chen Xin became a Title Douluo last year, with the title of Sword.

According to the original text, it should be coming soon.

If he could obtain the blood of Sword Douluo Chen Xin's father, he would surely gain a lot from it. The Seven Kill Sword Intent alone, which comes with the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, made his mouth water.

"I didn't know that Soul Bone skills couldn't copy that Seven Kill Sword Intent!"

While secretly pondering, Tian Hao wasn't sure for a moment. After all, sword intent was a bit mystical, and among all the martial spirits in the world, only the Seven Kill Sword could possess that kind of power of will.

If I could master this, I'd be rich.

"First, I need to study the awakening of my second martial soul and raise my soul power level!"

After finishing his soup, Tian Hao got up to study the matter of awakening his second martial soul.

"Is Dr. Tian Hao here? My wife is having a difficult childbirth, please come and help."

Just then, an anxious shout came from outside. Without delay, Tian Hao abandoned his previous research plan, grabbed his coat, and went out.

He found some special part-time jobs in Wuhun City. One was being an executioner, and the other was being a gynecologist, or more accurately, an obstetrician. He found these jobs after discovering that his martial soul could not fuse with a soul beast's soul ring and he planned to research the awakening of a second martial soul.

Following the anxious young man waiting outside, Tian Hao boarded the carriage and sped along. After more than ten minutes, they arrived at their destination, which was in a mess.

"Grandma Wang, what's going on?"

Upon entering the room, Tian Hao discovered that the midwife was an acquaintance and asked her about it.

"I suspect it's a breech presentation, that's why I had you invited over. This is something you're good at."

Granny Wang nodded to Tian Hao and briefly explained the situation.

Are there any signs of severe bleeding?

As Tian Hao placed his palm on the woman's belly, he asked.

"There's one thing: if we drag this out any longer, we might really suffer huge losses. Their family isn't well-off, and their business hasn't been doing too well lately."

At the end, Granny Wang added that if there had been a healing-type Soul Master to assist with the delivery, things would have been much easier, but this family couldn't afford one, and unfortunately, the delivery was difficult, so she had no choice but to send someone to invite Tian Hao over.

Without saying anything more, Tian Hao used his superb soul power control to smoothly penetrate the pregnant woman's belly, used his mental power to sense the fetus's position, and gently turned it into the correct position with his soul power.

"The baby has turned to the correct position. Take a few deep breaths, and then we'll work together. Your baby will definitely be born smoothly."

He gave the new mother, who had a piece of cloth in her mouth, some instructions, and after she nodded, the three of them prepared together.

"what!"

The suppressed cries of the woman in labor could be heard. Tian Hao used his soul power to assist her, and Granny Wang also cooperated.

Finally, with a loud cry of a newborn baby, the baby was born safely.

"You handle the umbilical cord, I'll help stop the bleeding."

Wang Po quickly handed the baby to Tian Hao and then began to treat the bleeding.

She is also a healing-type Soul Master. Although her healing effect is average due to her talent, she can still handle small-scale bleeding.

Tian Hao then began to deal with the baby's umbilical cord, and discreetly collected a drop of umbilical cord blood.

After confirming that both the baby and the mother were in stable condition, Tian Hao took a gold soul coin and left.

One gold soul coin is nothing in a place like Wuhun City. His fee is already very low, and it can even be described as a free medical consultation.

However, making money was secondary to him. The key was to use this opportunity to study the development of the bloodline of both parents during fetal development, the changes in bloodline power, and the relationship between the martial soul and innate soul power when the martial soul was finally awakened.

How did you do that?

Just then, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Chapter Thirteen Martial Soul Bloodline

"You were following me?"

Tian Hao looked back and saw that it could only be Bibi Dong.

"Who's following you? I was just curious and went to check it out."

Bibi Dong retorted that she hadn't followed anyone!

She had walked for a while and her legs were so weak that she couldn't walk anymore, especially since she was wearing high heels. So she rested by the roadside and then saw that the bastard speeding away in a carriage. She called a carriage to follow him and then sneaked into his house to watch the whole thing.

She could naturally tell that the method of helping the fetus change position was done with soul power, but that required extremely high control over soul power.

Even disregarding attributes, her soul power alone could not guarantee that it wouldn't harm the fetus, since the fetus is too fragile.

"You buy some balloons, fill them with water, and use your soul power to stir the water inside to make it rotate or form various shapes. Finally, discard the balloons and directly control the water flow to train."

There's no secret to it; it's just a matter of practice makes perfect.

I forgot to close the door when I came out, I'm in a hurry to get back, goodbye!

After casually replying, Tian Hao decisively ran away, leaving the girl with weak legs behind.

As the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong was being watched by many people, and he didn't want to have too much contact with her, lest he also be noticed.

"Are you afraid I'll eat you up?!"

He glared angrily, then pondered the exercise method and realized it made some sense.

She usually focuses on cultivating and improving her soul power, especially after mastering the method passed down by her teacher, but she hasn't paid much attention to controlling her soul power.

Although she knew many methods for improving self-control, that bastard made it sound so simple: you could practice anytime, anywhere.

"Why don't you give it a try?"

Somewhat tempted, Bibi Dong decided to give it a try.

Tian Hao was unaware of the girl's thoughts. He ran home and then faced his parents' interrogation.

It took a lot of effort to escape the clutches of the two elders and return to my room.

"I hope it's as I imagine it to be!"

Taking out the cells collected from Bibi Dong's body, Tian Hao stored them in his Martial Soul's Sea of ​​Spirit. Using his Martial Soul's abilities, he shrunk his spiritual consciousness to a fine level and entered the cells to observe them.

As if entering a room, Tian Hao went straight to the cell nucleus to study the bloodline power attached to the chromosomes, and sure enough, he made a discovery.

In spiritual perception, there are two distinct bloodline forces within the cell nucleus, both of which are extremely powerful.

One gave him a feeling that it could corrode everything, while the other was like an abyss that could devour everything.

"The one that corrodes everything should be the bloodline power of the Death Spider King, and the one that devours senses must be the bloodline power of the Soul-Devouring Spider King."

Sensing and observing the state of the two bloodline powers, Tian Hao became increasingly certain of his previous conjecture.

The humans in this world are structurally similar to those in the previous world, at least in terms of cellular structure.

The difference lies in the presence of a mysterious energy on the chromosomes, which is what this world refers to as bloodline, and is also the source of martial spirit awakening and power.

After all, people in this world develop from the combination of special cells from both parents, and the source is naturally in genetics.

In addition to the actual genetic material, there is also the energy attached to the genetic material, which is the power of bloodline. The two work together to create the inheritance of martial spirit.

"As expected, my guess was correct. Everyone has the potential to awaken a second martial soul."

After studying and comparing, Tian Hao became even more excited.

This obstetrician not only assists mothers with natural childbirth, but also helps check the fetal position and development during pregnancy. During this time, he uses the umbilical cord to extract tiny, almost imperceptible fetal blood cells from the placenta for research. By using his martial spirit to shrink his mental focus to a subtle level and enter the cells for comparative analysis, he finally discovered the secrets within.

During the gestation process, the power of the martial spirit bloodline originating from both parents will generally be suppressed by the stronger one, absorbing almost all of its energy to strengthen itself, and this will continue indefinitely unless something unexpected happens.

The bloodline power grows fastest during fetal development. After birth, the growth rate slows down until around age six, when it reaches the bloodline's capacity limit. Then, when the martial soul awakens, the soul power stimulates the bloodline, guiding the power accumulated by the powerful bloodline out to form the martial soul and innate soul power. This is why the quality of the martial soul is directly proportional to the innate soul power.

Besides the stronger party suppressing the weaker party, if the two sides have a high degree of compatibility, a fusion situation may occur, which can happen to people whose martial souls have mutated.

He studied the body cells of those martial spirit mutants and discovered that the bloodline powers within them were fused together, with only one bloodline power.

Besides the two situations mentioned above, there is another one: coexistence of opposites.

The two cannot merge, but they are of the same level, and neither can do anything to the other. They compete for nutrients and energy to grow together, and finally awaken together.

Bibi Dong was in this situation; the two opposing and balanced bloodline forces confirmed his conjecture.

"Just like genetic inheritance, there are dominant and recessive traits. When a Soul Master awakens a Martial Soul, it is only by awakening the power of the stronger bloodline and turning it into a Martial Soul. However, the weaker bloodline does not disappear; it always exists within the body."

"My awakened mutated martial soul, the Sea of ​​Spirit, originates from my father, but the dog-tail grass martial soul bloodline from my mother is also still there, just suppressed. What I need to do now is nurture and strengthen this half of the bloodline, and then awaken it as my second martial soul."

Tian Hao was very confident in this theory because he had read his father's notes on awakening martial souls when he was a child. He discovered that occasionally, the awakened martial souls did not originate from the martial souls manifested by his parents, but from the martial souls of his grandparents.

This is called intergenerational inheritance, which is essentially the inheritance of the recessive half of the martial soul bloodline from both parents to the child, thereby causing the child to awaken.

However, this situation is rare, but it is enough to show that latent martial soul bloodlines can be awakened.

"What method should I use to nurture that foxtail grass martial spirit bloodline?"

With his consciousness withdrawing, Tian Hao stroked his smooth chin in thought.

That bloodline has been suppressed into a latent state. It won't be easy for it to grow stronger and eventually awaken. It would require at least a compatible power to forcefully nurture it, and it cannot be absorbed by the father's bloodline power.

"If only my mother had a domain power, using her domain power to strengthen the martial soul bloodline that originated from the same source would definitely be able to... wait, a domain, using the Blue Silver Domain seems quite suitable as well."

Tian Hao suddenly thought of another foolish woman comparable to Bibi Dong, who had also brought about her own demise—the real Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.

Like the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, the Foxtail Grass martial soul is a grass-type plant martial soul, and the compatibility is extremely high. In the words of the Blue Silver Domain, it might even succeed.

As for whether the bloodline from the mother is also latent, there is no need to worry at all, because the martial souls of the people in the mother's village are all like weeds, so even if you inherit the other half of the mother's latent martial soul bloodline, it will not have any impact.

The most important thing for him right now is to awaken his second martial soul; it doesn't matter which kind of miscellaneous martial soul he awakens.

"If we want to obtain the Blue Silver Domain, we can only try our luck with Ah Yin. If that doesn't work, we'll have to go to the Blue Silver Forest and try our luck with the Blue Silver King. I remember that the Blue Silver Overlord Spear Soul Skill can carry the Blue Silver Domain. I wonder if Ah Yin has this Soul Skill, or if she has a similar Soul Skill that can carry the Blue Silver Domain."

"Sword Douluo's dad, when are you finally coming to Spirit City to challenge the Grand Elder? We're waiting for you, honey!"
