Douluo: Peerless Righteous Douluo

At that time, Ouyang Xi was just surprised that his good boy could see things so clearly at such a young age, but now...

Does this guy think I'm some irrational fool?

She grabbed Xiao Linyi into her arms and pretended to be vicious, "Tell me now! If you don't, mom will beat you."

The little guy had a helpless expression on his face, but she was his own mother and there was nothing she could do.

Xiao Linyi sighed like a little adult and spoke slowly. Ouyang Xi showed a serious expression, wanting to know what his son, who had been smart since childhood, could say. Moon, who was originally in deep thought, also looked at Xiao Linyi after hearing Ouyang Xi's question, wanting to know his answer.

"Soul Masters have been around for tens of thousands of years. It's undeniable that over those tens of thousands of years, both the number of powerful soul masters and their growth rate have significantly increased. But what about soul guides? How long have they been around?"

Without waiting for the three adults to respond, Xiao Linyi gave the answer directly, "More than four thousand years! It was only after the collision of the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent over four thousand years ago that soul guides truly began to develop and become commonplace. Before that, there were only a few rare storage soul guides."

"But what about now? Are storage soul guides still as valuable as they were ten thousand years ago?"

"I don't know how powerful the current soul guides are, but at least I know that they can already threaten Soul Douluo and even Title Douluo. If soul guides develop for a few hundred more years, will they no longer be a threat to Title Douluo, but rather a fatal blow? What about a few thousand years? Tens of thousands of years?"

"Is it even possible for someone to become a god like those gods ten thousand years ago by using soul guides?"

"This is impossible!" After hearing the last sentence, Ouyang Xi flatly denied it.

"Mom, how do you know it's impossible?"

Facing his son's curious gaze, Ouyang Xi didn't know how to answer, as if recalling the dark time when he was asked a series of questions by the young Lin Yi and he didn't know how to answer. Ouyang Xi became angry and was about to attack, but little Lin Yi easily dodged him.

Moon was silenced again by Xiao Lin Yi's words. Lin Qingxuan stopped the mother and son from playing and shook his head gently.

The family of three looked at the old man who had dedicated his whole life to Shrek Academy. Lin Qingxuan and Ouyang Xi's eyes were full of admiration, while Xiao Lin Yi's gaze was much simpler, just pure curiosity. His master seemed to be very powerful, but he was silenced by these few words?

The group continued on their journey, each of them falling into silence.

After a long while, Moon suddenly asked, "Xiaoyi, if it were you, what would you do?"

"Huh? What?"

Xiao Linyi asked, confused by Moon's sudden words.

"If you were in charge of Shrek Academy, what would you do?"

"To develop soul guides." Xiao Linyi answered casually.

"that's it?"

"What else is there to do?"

"No detailed ideas?"

"No." Xiao Lin Yi answered honestly.

Lin Qingxuan saw that Mu En was serious and lightly scolded him, "Xiaoyi, Elder Mu asked you a question, so answer it properly."

"Oh," Xiao Linyi replied with a somewhat aggrieved tone, and continued, "You said that the mainstream of Shrek Academy looks down on soul guides and regards them as external forces. Then wouldn't it be better to develop soul guides into one's own strength?"

"How is that possible!" Ouyang Xi retorted subconsciously.

"Can anyone guarantee 100% that it's impossible?" Xiao Lin Yi replied.

Seeing that the adults were all stumped by the question, Xiao Linyi continued, "To put it bluntly, the emergence of soul guides is a problem of the development of the times. Development problems can only be solved by development. There is no such thing as abandonment. If you abandon the times, then the times will only abandon you."

"Also, where did the idea that soul guides are external forces come from?"

"Soul guides are external forces." The one who habitually argued was still Xiao Lin Yi's mother, Ouyang Xi.

"Then the soul master itself relies on external forces to practice, so what's wrong with having an extra soul guide?"

Seeing his mother about to retort, Xiao Linyi spoke first, "A soul master's breakthrough relies on soul rings, and soul rings come from soul beasts. No one would say that soul beasts are their own power, right?"

"If such a person existed, he would have died tens of thousands of years ago when soul masters first appeared because he resisted the power of soul beasts."

Ouyang Xi had no way to refute and could only shut his mouth in disappointment.

After a long silence, Moon finally spoke, "Child, Master has a favor to ask of you, okay?"

"Master, please speak."

"Master hopes that you will go to Shrek Academy to study. If you want to learn soul guidance equipment, no problem. Shrek Academy also has a soul guidance department. I will use all my strength to help you learn soul guidance equipment!"

"However, Master also hopes that one day when you become stronger, you can change the current academy's rejection of soul guides."

After saying that, Moon looked at Xiao Linyi earnestly, with even a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"Okay, Master, I promise you."

Moon's face suddenly showed a smile, "Good boy..."

"But, Master, I don't quite understand."

"what?"

"Why should I change? Can't you do it yourself?"

"Haha, Master is already old, so let's leave these things to you young people."

Xiao Linyi disagreed, "Master, I don't think so. Do you know when is the best time to plant a tree?"

Not knowing what his young disciple wanted to say, Moon responded cooperatively, "I don't know."

"It was ten years ago."

Moon's body trembled when he heard this.

"Do you know when the next one will be?"

Moon was a little dazed. When he heard Xiao Linyi's question, he shook his head slightly.

"Now."

Moon's expression froze for a moment, and then changed rapidly. Xiao Linyi had never seen so many expressions appear on a person's face so quickly.

"That's really eye-opening," Lin Qingxuan patted his son's head. "Xiaoyi, where did you hear that?"

Obviously, Lin Qingxuan didn't think that a six-year-old child would say this.

In fact, these words were not thought up by Xiao Lin Yi himself, but were memories from another world.

“In the book.”

"It seems that I did the right thing by asking you to read books." Lin Qingxuan said with emotion.

Seeing these people’s big reactions, Xiao Linyi was a little surprised. Is the chicken soup from this other world so effective?

After a long time, Moon finally came to his senses and smiled bitterly, "I'm old now. I can't even see things as clearly as a kid like you."

Without saying anything more, Moon seemed to have made up his mind.

He asked with a smile, "Since you've decided to go the auxiliary route, have you thought about your first spirit ring?"

"Yeah, I've thought about it."

Chapter 9 Choice

When they heard Xiao Lin Yi say that he had already thought about it, they all showed interested expressions.

Ouyang Xi said: "Tell me about it."

"My martial soul is a tree. Although a tree can be roughly divided into three parts: roots, trunk, and crown, the most important and primary part is the roots. The first soul ring is the time to lay the foundation, so I hope that the first soul ring can strengthen the roots of the golden tree."

Several adults looked at each other, with surprise and satisfaction in their eyes. For a six-year-old child to be able to think to this extent, it was already excellent.

Moon continued to test the teacher, "Do you have a soul beast you like?"

"As for soul beasts, well, I've only seen a few in the illustrated guide, so I don't know much about them. However, I did find a soul beast that fits my idea very well."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Blue Silver Grass."

"?!!"

As soon as these three words were spoken, it was like thunderclap out of the blue, making the three adults' heads buzz.

Ouyang Xi said anxiously: "Lin Yi! What are you thinking! The golden tree of the demigod-level martial spirit, you choose blue silver grass?!"

Lin Qingxuan gently pulled his wife aside and said, "Okay, Xiaoyi is smart, he must have his reasons. Let's listen to him first."

Moon also pretended to be serious, wanting to know the reason behind his disciple's unexpected choice.

Xiao Lin Yidao: "Although Blue Silver Grass can be regarded as the weakest soul beast, there are exceptions in the Blue Silver Grass clan. The evolved Blue Silver King and Blue Silver Emperor both have commendable qualities and are comparable to top-level soul beasts."

"We all know this. The Sea God ten thousand years ago became a god with the help of the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit, but do you know how rare the advanced Blue Silver Grass bloodline is?"

Faced with his mother's inquiries, Xiaolin Yi remained calm.

"Yes, Blue Silver Grass is indeed extremely rare in advanced bloodlines, but I'm not looking for those. Ordinary Blue Silver Grass is enough."

"It's true that individual Blue Silver Grass is weak, but it also has a universal advantage."

"what?"

Xiao Linyi's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said confidently, "It has strong vitality. No matter where it is, as long as the seeds of Blue Silver Grass are sown, it will grow."

"That has nothing to do with your golden tree. Your life attribute is already at its peak. No matter how tenacious the Blue Silver Grass's vitality is, it will have no effect on your golden tree."

"Mom, have you ever thought about why the Blue Silver Grass has such strong vitality?"

"Who knows? Even a spirit master with the Blue Silver Grass spirit wouldn't choose Blue Silver Grass when choosing a spirit ring. Who would study that?"

Ouyang Xi still disagreed, but Lin Qingxuan and Moon En seemed to have thought of something, and their eyes lit up slightly.

"I've observed that the reason Blue Silver Grass can display such tenacious vitality anywhere is due to its well-developed root system. With this well-developed root system, Blue Silver Grass can absorb sufficient nutrients in all kinds of harsh conditions to ensure the growth of the mother plant. This advantage is exactly what I need for my golden tree."

Moon clapped and praised, "Brilliant!"

Xiao Linyi smiled shyly.

Moon continued, "Xiaoyi, your analysis is spot on. I'm just a little curious. You didn't know what your martial spirit would be beforehand, so how did you come up with the idea of ​​observing the Blue Silver Grass?"

Xiao Linyi scratched his head. "It's not that I wanted to observe it. When I was looking at the Soul Beast Atlas, I was interested in many soul beasts, but I couldn't see any of them. Only the Blue Silver Grass was everywhere, so I could observe it. I didn't expect that I would actually use it."

"Hahaha," Moon laughed. "Well, people with good talents don't necessarily have good luck. Xiaoyi, you have such good luck. I am increasingly looking forward to your future."

Although the group was talking all the time, they did not slow down at all. At this time, the Star Dou Great Forest was not far away.

Moon stopped and said, "Let's rest here for a while."

Several people agreed.

Although Ouyang Xi had been persuaded by his son, he still felt a little worried. "Although Blue Silver Grass is found throughout the continent, it's so weak that only a few can become soul beasts. I wonder if we can find any of the right age this time..."

Xiao Linyi suddenly thought of something when he heard this, "Mom, the book says that the first spirit ring cannot last more than four hundred years. Why is this so?"

Ouyang Xi was somewhat happy. Her son had been very smart since he was young, and she could rarely answer the questions he asked. This time, she had finally encountered an easy-to-answer question, and she had to perform well in front of her good boy to establish her status as a mother.

Clearing his throat, Ouyang Xi explained, "Because the soul master's body can't bear it, when the soul master absorbs the soul ring, he will be oppressed by the soul ring's energy and the resentment of the dead soul beast. If these exceed the soul master's physical and mental endurance, the soul master who absorbs the soul ring is at risk of death. In the best case, he will be seriously injured."

Ouyang Xi looked serious as he warned his son that the growth of a soul master is full of thorns. Even the soul rings that help soul masters break through limitations can be dangerous if one is careless.

"So that's it..."

Xiao Linyi didn't show any fear or alarm as Ouyang Xi had expected. Instead, he seemed to be thinking, "In other words, the actual age of a spirit ring is determined by the body and mind. Then this four hundred years is not accurate?"

Lin Qingxuan took over the conversation and continued, "That's not the case. This age range was calculated and summarized by the masters of Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago. After ten thousand years of testing, it has been proven to be trustworthy."

Xiao Linyi nodded to show that he understood.

"But it's not suitable for everyone, Dad. What are the limits of my physical and mental endurance?"

"Wouldn't it be terrible if my body couldn't handle the soul beast I chose?"

Lin Qingxuan raised his hand and placed it on Xiao Linyi's body to sense his son's physical strength. He smiled and comforted him, "No, with your talent, you can handle even a 400-year-old soul beast..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Qingxuan suddenly let out a soft "Exclamation". Ouyang Xi looked at her husband strangely, "Brother Xuan, what's wrong?"

"Xiaoyi's physical strength is a bit strange."

"What a strange method?"

"Too high."

“Isn’t it good to have high physical strength?”

"That's a bit exaggerated. I feel that Xiaoyi's body is now strong enough to absorb a thousand-year-level spirit ring, or even more than one or two thousand years!" Lin Qingxuan shook his head, his face a little solemn, and turned to look at Mu En, "Mr. Mu, please take a look."

Hearing Lin Qingxuan's words, Moon En's face also became serious. Nowadays, there are indeed some large sects that give their chosen disciples various natural treasures and medicinal baths to improve their physical strength since childhood, but so far there has never been a case of absorbing a thousand-year-level soul ring with the first soul ring.

Moon raised his hand and placed it on Xiaolin Yi's wrist, sensing it carefully, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
