Douluo: On Becoming a God through Science

In the blink of an eye, the banquet held at Youchen's residence came to an end.

The entire banquet lasted for more than half a month. Whether it was the banquet itself or the cost of taking classmates to travel in Wuhun City, it was a considerable expense for a Soul Sect.

But no matter how you look at it, this was an extremely normal reception.

The spies from the Pope's Palace did not find anything wrong.

Bibi Dong's intuition always told her that You Chen's purpose would not be so simple, but the Pope was busy after all. For the sake of her revenge, other things had to be put aside, so she had no time to keep an eye on You Chen.

In fact, Youchen's goal has been achieved.

It is worth mentioning that the Pope temporarily stopped paying attention to You Chen, but there was a little tail who was still stubborn and unwilling to give up catching You Chen's "evidence of evil"...

Chapter 27 Thirteenth Mission Reward

In more than half a month, You Chen completed a total of thirteen tasks and obtained a large number of task rewards.

However, not all tasks have extra rewards like Jiang Liu's task.

There are two best rewards for tasks without extra rewards: a "Basic Experience Pill" or a "Soul Ring Age Enhancement Card (100 Years)".

I got three and three respectively.

But this is best based on his age at the time...

The former could save him about a year of his golden training time, while the latter could significantly enhance his combat effectiveness during his youth.

But now? It's better than nothing.

The experience pill could be taken out from the system space, and he had directly handed it over to Grace for use.

Although Grace has good talent, she was already in her teens when she was purchased. She has been with me for more than ten years and is now 29 years old and is almost years old.

Even if he invested all his resources regardless of the cost, he could at best become a Soul Emperor in this life.

This head maid has always been by his side. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. Not only does she have to coordinate many affairs in the mansion every day, but she is also responsible for serving Youchen's nightlife at night.

This experience pill, which is of little use to me, can still be of some use to Grace.

Rather than using it to train soul fighting beasts, You Chen preferred to give it to his close little maid. After giving three of them, she had increased her soul power by another level.

Besides that, most of the mission rewards are those nutrition pills, strength pills...

These pills can’t be said to be completely useless…

With You Chen's current research capabilities, if he could gather a large group of people, it might be possible to develop similar products.

But the problem is that it would take him only a short period of time to develop low-level pills of the same level as those produced by the system. He didn't know how long it would take to develop ones that he could use, and he wasn't absolutely sure.

As for the experience pill, this kind of creation with no side effects and no decreasing efficacy has completely exceeded Youchen's current theoretical level. Youchen does not think that he can develop even a second-level product.

Now that self-improvement has once again become You Chen's top priority, things that consume a lot of energy are naturally put aside for the time being.

In addition, in order to study some laws of the system.

You Chen did not hesitate much when he first gave up this kind of mission that only rewarded ordinary elixirs.

It was natural to discover the rules for abandoning the task.

There will be no penalty for abandoning a task, but the task will not be refreshed directly. You still have to wait a day and refresh it again in the early morning.

After completing more than a dozen tasks, You Chen concluded that the task rewards were roughly divided into a few categories.

The first category is elixir-type cultivation resources.

Nutrition pills, strength pills, and experience pills are of this type.

The second category is martial arts techniques.

"The Art of Resisting Breath" and "The Art of Shocking the Soul" are of this type.

These skills and techniques were bound upon pickup. After receiving them, they were directly instilled into the mind and would not be forgotten. As long as You Chen recalled them, he could read the entire text in his mind like flipping through a book.

The third category is modern creations, or the products of modern scientific civilization.

After "Friendly Premium Candy", he also won "Ordinary Sea X Refrigerator", "Sister's Fan", "Watermelon Flavored Electronic Cigarette"...

These rewards are a bit like extras given by the system. After all, in this world where extraordinary powers exist, these things cannot bring about an increase in power.

But You Chen soon realized that they were not some meaningless jokes.

They are treasures that can improve living conditions!

Given Douluo's technical capabilities and conditions, even if You Chen knew about these technological products, it would be difficult for him to manufacture them from scratch.

But it’s different with samples.

He could completely reverse engineer it and create a soul-powered replacement.

Changing the quality of life is only one of their values. Opening up the blue ocean and obtaining a large amount of wealth and resources is their real hidden value!

Then there is the fourth category, special resources that directly improve the attributes of soul masters.

Soul Ring Year Upgrade Card, Adaptive First Soul Ring, and perhaps the "Soul Bone Upgrade Card" that may appear in the future? These can all be classified into this category.

This type of resources are soul-bound and cannot be taken out from the system space, so they can only be used directly by oneself.

Finally, there is the fifth category, special and others.

In fact, it is because You Chen has only received one reward that can be classified into this category.

It's called "a flash of inspiration."

As the name suggests, after using it, Youchen can enter a state similar to enlightenment, with his mind becoming extremely bright and clear, and generating many inspirations.

Whether it is used to figure out some research problems, or to optimize meditation methods, soul skills, martial arts, or to enhance the ability to use soul power, it will probably be very effective.

The uses are endless.

It can be said to be a panacea that will never go out of style.

You Chen also believes that this is the most valuable reward among the rewards obtained from these thirteen missions.

It is hard to say whether it will be available in the future. Judging from the drop rate alone, this thing is absolutely rare.

You Chen doesn't plan to use it for the time being.

Apart from the flash of inspiration, among the many task rewards, what You Chen currently values ​​most are the martial arts techniques rewarded by the system.

In fact, during the past ten days, You Chen had spent most of his free time studying the skills and martial arts provided by the system.

Although they are described as "martial arts and techniques", after coming to the Douluo World, they have become physiques adapted to the Douluo World, which is similar to self-created soul skills or some family secrets.

Unfortunately, most of them were not as powerful as You Chen had imagined, and unlike the "Breath-Containing Art", they did not make him feel that there was something hidden.

The most valuable item here is the extra reward that You Chen got when he defeated Jiang Liu, the spiritual-related "Soul-Shocking Art".

The reason is very simple. As mentioned before, You Chen has a unique talent in spiritual practice. Correspondingly, the power of "Soul-Shocking Art" is much higher than that of others even if they are at the same level of practice.

The most important thing is... he practices very quickly!

Yes, that’s the point!

Even though Tang San is very good at the Purple Demon Pupil, Controlling Cranes and Capturing Dragons, Ghost Shadow Mystery and Mysterious Sky Skill, many readers will naturally overlook the fact that Tang San had already practiced these skills to a very high level in his previous life after he starts his adventure in Douluo Continent.

These self-created soul skills, except for a few with special levels, can basically be divided into entry, minor success, major success, and perfection levels of cultivation.

The skills that Tang San used had at least reached the great perfection level.

That's why he kept using these skills from the Xuantian Treasure Record until the late stages of the plot.

As for others? They have to start from scratch, otherwise they will never be able to match the effect of the spirit ring spirit skills.

Chapter 28: Kung Fu and Martial Arts

In fact, there is a reason why people in Douluo Continent are not keen on the research and development of their own soul skills.

Even if it is a plug-in given to the protagonist by the original author, it can be used completely seamlessly with the Xuantian Baolu.

Take the Ghost Shadow as an example. If you cultivate it to perfection, it is at most equivalent to a ten thousand year soul skill.

It is unknown how much time and energy it would take for ordinary people to cultivate it to perfection.

But what about the spirit master? One spirit ring can do it directly.

The greatest function of these self-created soul skills is not to be used by soul masters of this department, but to help soul masters of other departments to find and fill in the gaps.

For example, if the offensive and auxiliary systems learn a flexible step, they can enhance their output space and survivability.

But the problem is that the most suitable and skilled in developing this type of soul skills are agile attack soul masters.

Is there any need for a spirit master of the Agility Attack type to independently develop this kind of spirit skill? There is no need.

If you have this much time, wouldn’t it be nice to train your soul power a little more?

Over time, this has created an atmosphere where researching and creating original soul skills is extremely unpopular.

Even if one creates one's own soul skills, they are basically not universally applicable. They are basically the type that can only be used by martial souls inherited from a family and are not transferable.

The skills and martial arts that You Chen obtained were all general types, with no requirements for martial souls or additional talents.

With the infusion of systematic knowledge, he also crossed the initial threshold and directly achieved entry, saving a lot of time for practice.

But apart from the spiritual-related "Soul-Shocking Art" and the functional "Breath-Containing Art", You Chen did not intend to spend too much energy on the rest.

In addition to the above two items, You Chen also acquired three martial arts skills.

They are the boxing technique "Yun Dong Quan", the light skill "Flying on the Grass", and the explosive secret technique "Wu Qi Sha Gong".

Among them, "Cloud Moving Fist" is a boxing technique that tends to be water-based. It uses soul power to draw cloud energy, making the boxing technique unpredictable. It is a typical slow boxing technique, which is slightly in conflict with You Chen's agile attack style. But from another perspective, it may be able to catch the opponent by surprise and become a piece of the puzzle of You Chen's offensive ability.

"Flying on the Grass" has a simple name, but the effect is quite good.

As for the "Five Qi Evil Skill", it is an explosive secret technique that nourishes evil spirits in the five internal organs and detonates them at critical moments, thereby enhancing one's overall attributes. Although it puts a considerable burden on the five internal organs, the effect is also real.

From this perspective, You Chen can actually use all three martial arts techniques.

But, as I said before, it will take a long time to cultivate to the highest level and perfection, even for a wandering cultivator.

This is also why You Chen had no intention of passing these skills and martial arts to Yan.

At first glance, showing Yan these general self-created soul skills may help him to learn by analogy.

But in fact, what Yan developed were all original soul skills exclusive to his martial soul, and giving these things to him would only cause him more trouble.

With Yan's stupid brain, You Chen felt that it would take a lot of time just to understand the contents of these martial arts techniques, not to mention getting started smoothly afterwards.

You Chen has reached the entry level of the system. These three martial arts techniques are equivalent to the effect of a hundred-year soul skill.

Not to mention boxing and light skills, many people have a misunderstanding that when traveling through Douluo, the early low-level soul skills should choose amplification-type soul skills so that they will not be eliminated in the future.

This is totally wrong.

The timeless amplification effect of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda has nothing to do with the age of the spirit ring, but is the ability of the spirit itself.

Although both are amplification soul skills, the amplification effect of a normal auxiliary soul master will vary depending on the amplification object.

As for the case of self-amplification, the amplification effects of a hundred-year soul skill and a ten-thousand-year soul skill are naturally different.

The latter can still have a certain effect when he becomes a Titled Douluo, but the former will most likely not even be a mosquito leg by that time.

The same thing happened to You Chen with the "Five Qi Evil Power".

The effect looks pretty good, and it's somewhat useful to You Chen now, but he's about to absorb the fifth ring. Once he reaches the Soul King level, this secret technique will be nothing more than a drop in the ocean if it's only at the entry-level level.

If the Soul Saint stage is to be useful, then one must at least practice to the Great Success level.

And in order to play a significant role on the Titled Douluo level, it is probably necessary to practice this secret technique to perfection.

But this requires talent and opportunity, and is not something that can be achieved easily.

Even if You Chen practiced "Flying on the Grass", he would not practice the seemingly wonderful "Five Qi Evil Skill".

However, You Chen was vaguely moved by the "Cloud Moving Fist" and thought that he could practice it a bit when he had free time. Perhaps it could really become a good killing soul skill.

But unlike these three martial arts techniques, You Chen is more interested in "Soul-Shocking Art".

Even without considering one's own spiritual talent, it is worth learning considering that its activation is concealed and extremely difficult to guard against. As long as it locks on the target, it will basically not miss.

The effect it exhibits is similar to "soul shock", but the emphasis is on the word "deterrence". It uses mental power to stimulate fear in the target, creating a short-term unconsciousness effect. If the target's mental power is too different from your own, it can even cause severe damage to their mental will, causing them to have an irreversible fear when they see you again in the future.

If one is born with qualities such as "dragon power" or "imperial majesty", this skill can also bring additional deterrent effects.

As for whether there are other hidden functions, it remains for You Chen to discover them himself.
