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

After all, it's better to be safe than sorry.

"Tell me quickly."

After confirming that there were no problems, Guangling hurriedly urged, already somewhat impatient.

"Fifth Grandfather, you are an archer. The elements of combat are the speed, accuracy, and power of arrows. We can start from these three aspects."

Let's talk about speed first. I think you have a great advantage, which is that light attribute..."

As Tian Hao tried to stimulate the various gems he had bought with his Holy Light Soul Power, he spoke.

"Light attribute?"

Guangling manifested his own martial soul, the Guangling Divine Bow, and was somewhat moved by Tian Hao's words, but for a moment he couldn't understand them.

Do you believe light has speed?

Tian Hao asked, he wasn't very confident about this idea either, he would have to communicate and study it with a light attribute martial soul master like Guang Ling.

How can light have speed?

Guangling instinctively retorted, but she froze as soon as the words left her mouth.

Light doesn't seem to have any restrictions on speed.

"In my view, light itself is a kind of energy, not the kind of energy of light element, but it is definitely energy, otherwise we would not feel heat when we are exposed to sunlight, fire, etc., and most plants grow towards the sun."

Moreover, we often see phenomena like beams of light. For example, when it's cloudy, sunlight shines through gaps in the clouds, and those beams of light are most noticeable.

Since it can form a beam of light, many questions can be explained. I guess that light also has a speed, but its speed is too fast for us to see clearly, which is why we have the illusion that light has no speed.

If you can cultivate your light attribute to that level, no one in the world will be able to dodge your arrows; the moment you aim, they will have already hit you…”

He was simply sharing his ideas; whether or not he could actually pull it off was another matter.

After all, the light element in this world is quite different from sunlight, and it is not easy to cultivate the light element into the form of photons.

However, that's how research works: make bold hypotheses, verify them carefully, and eventually, something will work.

Guangling fell into deep thought, pondering the feasibility of this claim.

Tian Hao did not disturb him and continued his research, which soon yielded results.

When the light of the Holy Light shines on a blood-red, translucent gemstone, it emits a crimson glow, much brighter than any other gemstone.

"They're too scattered; we need to concentrate them into a beam."

After observing carefully for a while, Tian Hao increased his Holy Light Soul Power to form a sphere that enveloped the ruby, leaving only a tiny hole.

That's right, he's making lasers.

As described in my previous physics textbook, the world's first laser was formed by shining a strong light on a ruby. A reflective material was coated on the ruby ​​to reflect and concentrate the light energy, which was then emitted from a tiny hole to form a laser beam.

He currently has no reflective material, but he can use his holy light soul power to envelop the entire gem, suppressing the red light from escaping from all directions and becoming a light source to forcibly stimulate the ruby.

This approach was correct; a bright red ray shot out from the left hole, striking the shield and forming a dazzling red spot of light.

"Light?"

Guangling, who was deep in thought, was drawn in and curiously examined the bright red ray of light and the ball of holy light soul power in Tian Hao's hand.

"I previously discovered that many highly transparent crystals can transform light into a special kind of brilliance. I just tried it with those gemstones and found that the ruby ​​has the strongest brilliance. Then I compressed the light that the ruby ​​was radiating in all directions, and finally formed this kind of brilliance."

After a brief explanation, Tian Hao withdrew his Holy Light Soul Power and handed over the ruby, indicating that he wanted to try it.

Taking the gem, Guangling tested it with his own light-attribute soul power. Sure enough, it shot out a bright red beam of light. And perhaps because of his higher soul power level, the laser beam was even more powerful, causing the light shield to ripple slightly.

Although it's still a long way from breaking through the light barrier, it has indeed gained offensive power.

"Moreover, for physical arrows, such as the arrows that you, Fifth Grandfather, condensed with ice-attribute soul power, the faster the speed, the greater the power. If it really reaches the speed of light, I reckon even Great Grandfather would have to temporarily avoid its edge if he were to shoot one."

That's all I can offer as an idea. As for how to make the arrow travel at the speed of light, that's for you to figure out.

With a shrug, Tian Hao indicated that this was all he could do.

As for the subsequent research, I can leave it to a big shot like Guangling; I only need to share the results at the end.

"I owe you a favor."

Looking at the ruby ​​in his palm, which was slowly crumbling under the strain of his own soul power, Guang Ling had a complicated expression, but he accepted the favor.

I had never thought about this before, but now it seems to have great potential.

If this idea were to be realized, giving arrows the speed of light, one's own strength would be elevated several levels.

"Anything else?"

After calming her turbulent emotions, Guangling pressed for an answer.

This idea is already very powerful; the others are sure to be just as good.

"The only thing we can cultivate in terms of arrow accuracy right now is mental power. Besides mental power, I feel we can also focus on the spatial and temporal power attributes."

Among the soul skills, there is a spatial attribute soul skill called instant teleportation. Could we figure out the underlying principle and use instant teleportation to send arrows directly to the opponent's face, or even inside their body, thereby ignoring some defenses, such as protective shields?

Finally, he pointed to the soul power protective shield that covered the entire living room, saying that if there were spatial teleportation, this thing would be just for show.

The character with the best grasp of this concept is Tianza from Super Soldier; you can refer to his gameplay for inspiration.

"We'll look into it when we have the chance. What's the timeframe?"

Nodding in agreement with this line of thought, Guangling gestured for Tian Hao to continue.

Chapter 131 The Right Way to Play an Archer

"In my view, time is like a river that rushes forward, but it can also stop flowing, just like a frozen river that can flow backward."

This results in three uses: time acceleration, time stopping, and time reversal.

If the power of time acceleration is applied to the arrow to break the speed limit, its power will certainly be further increased.

However, this is very difficult. Time-based martial souls and soul skills are extremely rare, and without reference specimens, it's difficult to conduct research. It can only be considered a target, and we can study it again when we have the opportunity in the future.

Tian Hao expressed his conjecture about the power of time, and he was also very envious of this power, since the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger happened to have a time attribute among its attributes.

Unfortunately, the evil god-king power in the first martial soul was too domineering, leaving only the ultimate evil attribute, while the other attribute origins were rejected, and for a time there was no suitable carrier to carry and study it.

Moreover, that kind of power attribute is too advanced; it's beyond his current capabilities to study.

Time!

With a sigh, Guangling also yearned for the power of time, for it was a divine skill that was hard to come by.

After Tian Hao and Guang Ling finished their exclamations, they continued to bluff... cough cough, they continued to suggest, "Next is the power of the arrows, which can be improved using the secondary martial soul system I created."

Fifth Grandfather, your martial spirit is a bow and arrow, so you can also follow the system of the nine elements. For example, you can create several more martial spirits with the arrow part to carry the nine elements respectively.

I have three ideas in this regard. One is to shatter your arrows into nine pieces, and then use those pieces as a foundation to nurture them with a large amount of martial spirit essence, transforming them into nine brand new arrows.

Secondly, find a Soul Master who possesses the Soul Splitting Skill, study and understand the secrets of that Soul Splitting Skill, use it to replicate your Arrow Martial Soul part, and then find a way to permanently solidify it.

Third, use my soul bone skill to copy your arrow, then find a way to refine and fix it, and then slowly nurture it with the essence of your martial soul.

In addition, the cultivation of attributes cannot be stopped. I think you can use the light attribute as the foundation to fuse other elemental attributes. For example, we can fuse the current light attribute and ice attribute into a new cold light attribute, integrating the ice attribute into the light attribute, and using light to conduct cold energy.

This way, one could enjoy the near-perfect accuracy of a light-speed arrow.

The subsequent fire and lightning can all be modeled after this template. Furthermore, in the future, we can even use the light attribute as a hub to fuse all attribute arrows into one using a spirit fusion technique, resulting in even greater power…”

Tian Hao became more and more enthusiastic in his persuasion, and Guang Ling became more and more excited as he listened. At least these ideas were possible to realize, even if they were a bit difficult.

"Light and ice attributes are not easy to combine. I have been cultivating for decades and still haven't succeeded."

After calming his turbulent emotions once again, Guangling circulated his soul power into his palm, forming a ball, feeling quite helpless about the situation.

He also knew that fusion attributes were more powerful. For example, the magma attribute formed by fusing fire and earth attributes was stronger than the fire and earth attributes alone. However, fusing attributes was much more difficult than simply mixing them.

I had thought about making it by refining the soul rings of soul beasts, but unfortunately, I have searched for decades without finding a soul beast that combines light and ice attributes.

After decades of attempts, some progress has been made in the fusion of the two elemental attributes, but unfortunately, the most crucial step is stuck.

"I can help with attribute fusion."

With a shy smile, Tian Hao accepted the job.

Previously, his adoptive grandfather, Qian Daoliu, had revealed to him that the enshrined members of the Spirit Hall were all beings who had undergone the tests of the Angel God. They were the most loyal believers of the Angel God, and their loyalty was no less than that of their own angel race. They were even willing to sacrifice themselves for the Angel God and were trustworthy.

Even though Qian Xunji was wary of him, he still couldn't affect the other retainers.

These individuals are all directly responsible to the Angel God, especially after the Angel God's thoughts were fully manifested. Even without a reasonable excuse, Qian Daoliu cannot touch these individuals.

In this way, the worshippers of the Douluo Palace become the best targets for winning over. As long as they do not conflict with the interests of the Angel God, they can all be protected in the future.

"Since you've called me Grandpa, I won't bother with formalities like thanks or favors. Just come to me if you need anything in the future."

Guangling felt a strong affinity for Tian Hao; it was worth having recognized him as a grandson.

No wonder both the Grand Elder and the Second Elder praised it highly, calling it the future of the Spirit Hall, and even the gods have rewarded it.

"Those are just some ideas. There's a big difference between thinking about something and actually doing it. I'm not capable of doing that part."

He chuckled, then his expression changed, and Tian Hao appeared very modest.

He was very self-aware; those were just ideas, and while they might be feasible, it would be very difficult to actually research and implement them.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Sometimes, your novel ideas are the key to progress."

Having cultivated to my level, mere arduous practice is unlikely to bring further improvement.

Shaking his head slightly, Guang Ling had a deep understanding of this. Cultivation after breaking through to Super Douluo was far more difficult than before. Even after experiencing the Divine Trial, he was not confident that he could make another breakthrough.

Don't be fooled by the fact that after level 95, each level increase in soul power is significant, and even the martial soul can evolve. However, the difficulty of advancing is also immense, far greater than the previous path from Soul Master to Title Douluo.

Without special opportunities, such as obtaining a 100,000-year-old soul bone, it is basically difficult to break through in a short period of time.

Even with the emergence of divine spiritual power, there was no immediate effect in this regard, but the ideas he heard today, especially the fusion of attributes, gave him the possibility of rapid progress.

"I'll leave the existing fusion of light and ice attributes to you. You'll be able to help me with the next attribute as well."

Looking at the Martial Soul Light Feather Divine Bow in his hand, Light Feather sighed inwardly that coming out this time was really the right decision.

"I will do my utmost."

Tian Hao also looked at the Light Feather Divine Bow. After noticing the metallic luster of the bow's main body, he realized what was going on and immediately took on the task, promising to help it cultivate metallic soul power.

Although the Light Feather Divine Bow only has two attributes, Light and Ice, it also has a hidden attribute, which is Metal.
