Douluo: On Becoming a God through Science

Although he said that he wanted to leave the Spirit Hall and live in seclusion, You Chen was definitely not a person who would keep to himself.

It would be better to say that You Chen has a strong ambition!

If not, even if she knew that Yu Xiaogang had a silver-plated spear head, how could she risk offending Bibi Dong by exposing it?

Just becoming a soul master is enough for him to enjoy himself!

People no longer have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but in the Douluo world, these needs do not reflect the differences between people.

Or is it more intuitive to say that women are beautiful?

The so-called class beauties and school beauties are only one in a hundred, one in a thousand, or at most one in ten thousand.

In the entire Douluo Continent, with a population of hundreds of millions, there are only about 100,000 soul masters! As long as they are soul masters, they are one in thousands.

Basically, it can be understood that when you travel through Douluo, as long as you have the talent to break through level 10 and become a soul master, you have basically reserved the status of a superior person in advance.

Every male soul master, even if he is ugly in appearance and unpopular among female soul masters, is absolutely a popular one in the eyes of ordinary people.

Don’t you see, Ma Hongjun’s looks, physique, and personality are also liked by ordinary girls.

The time travelers in the Douluo fan fiction don’t have to work too hard, as long as they have a little insight, they can win the favor of the school beauties who were out of reach in their previous life.

Those goddesses who would be kicked away when they tried to lick them in the past, now even turn around and pay attention to them.

In the past, they could only watch the beauties in their classes and schools being picked up by men from nowhere, and they were always envious, jealous and hateful, saying that these men were just handsome, rich and talkative, but in fact they were all scumbags who changed women like clothes. And these innocent good men could only wipe their toilet paper silently with red eyes.

But now they can easily become the "scumbags" they envied in the past.

It’s not because of how hard they try, it’s simply because they have awakened their martial souls and possess innate soul power.

In addition, it is much easier for soul masters to earn wealth than ordinary people. These fan fiction protagonists, one by one, even if they do not fight according to the route in the fan fiction after crossing over, are still winners in life compared to before they crossed over.

You Chen has an average appearance, but after the age of 9, he was already considered a true genius in the eyes of others. At the age of 15, he broke through to become a great soul master and possessed the second millennium ring, which was unmatched at the time.

What should be experienced and can be experienced will naturally be experienced when the time is right.

After all, he was just an ordinary worker in the past, and was completely isolated from things like love and reproduction. After traveling through time and space and becoming a superior person, it is impossible for him to stick to the rules and be a Liuxia Hui, right?

However, after being pursued and flattered by the beautiful woman he had coveted in the past, You Chen quickly came to his senses.

I even resonate with those old guys in the worship hall who have remained single all their lives.

What does it matter if ordinary civilian beauties are beautiful? When they mix with soul masters, they inherently consider themselves inferior. If they cannot achieve spiritual equality, it cannot be considered a true love.

Most soul masters interact and reproduce with other soul masters, not only to give birth to soul master offspring, but also because only soul masters with similar strength can get along with each other on an equal footing.

There is no emotional bond, only pure carnal desire. Such false love is doomed to be short-lived.

Therefore, these Titled Douluo in the Worship Hall often remain single because they cannot meet the right person at their respective ages and begin to pursue the sublimation of their individual great power.

Perhaps You Chen is essentially such a person.

He did not indulge in love for long, and soon turned his attention back to breaking his own limits and breaking through the shackles of his original talents.

In his previous life, he had no channels and opportunities, and no matter how hard he tried, he was still just a social animal. But in this life, the chance to control his own destiny is in his own hands, so naturally he tried his best to seize the opportunity!

He simply believed that in power lies the greatest freedom in the world.

Even among those who are ambitious, most of them just fight and gamble with what they have.

Betting your entire fortune on investment or starting a business requires more courage than 99% of people.

And gamble with your own safety and life...

How could such a person be someone without ambition and courage! ?

Even though he knew that this might upset Bibi Dong, didn't he still go for it that day? ?

Now, this opportunity to change his fate again is before him, will he give it up? Can he give it up?

No! Absolutely not!

He is already 35 years old this year! His Qi and blood are starting to decline! His cultivation speed is starting to decline!

If he could absorb this adaptive spirit ring, he would be able to directly break through to level 50. After absorbing the fifth spirit ring and two ten thousand year spirit rings, his martial spirit might be able to evolve again!

Evolve to an advanced martial spirit!

With a high-level martial soul and two ten-thousand-year soul rings, he can definitely be compared to those six-ring soul emperors!

What’s more important is that the speed of cultivation will be greatly improved, and there is definitely hope of breaking through to the Soul Saint level before the age of fifty!

Then there is hope of breaking through to the Titled Douluo level and asking God for a few hundred more years!

"Possessed by a martial spirit!"

A green dragon-shaped shadow is attached.

You Chen no longer hesitated and used the spirit ring.

The tremendous soul power began to surge.

Chapter 5 Theory of Spirit Evolution (1)

A transparent soul ring appeared, circling Youchen.

"Success! You must succeed for me! Absorb the first soul ring for me!"

As You Chen roared in his heart, the soul ring quickly shrank and merged into his body.

A look of joy suddenly flashed across You Chen's face.

It worked! It really worked! He actually started absorbing it smoothly!

Even though he had a deeper understanding of the underlying rules of this world through years of theoretical research and had already guessed this possibility, You Chen still couldn't help but get excited.

In order to clear his mind of distractions, You Chen immediately closed his eyes and began to absorb the soul ring with all his strength.

While absorbing the soul ring, You Chen continued to drive the soul power, as if to actively form a soul skill, a soul skill that best suits the ability of "Stardust Dragon"!

The soul skills born after absorbing soul rings can be either developed by developing the abilities of the martial soul itself (which may produce skills completely unrelated to the soul rings of the soul beast absorbed), or abilities related to the soul beast that produced the soul rings (which may have nothing to do with the martial soul itself, such as a blade of grass developing the ability to stop time).

There are only these two tendencies, the difference is just more and less.

But in this process, the subjective initiative and individual will of the soul master are by no means without influence.

"Memes and Genes" was a book he published when he was 25 years old, which verified the influence of human spiritual will on martial spirits and soul skills.

And when he obtained the fourth soul ring at the age of 28, he also verified it on himself.

It doesn't mean "you can get any soul skill you want". It is obvious that obtaining soul skills is not a purely idealistic process.

Limited by the soul beasts chosen by the soul master, the more it fits the original power of the martial soul, the easier it is to develop the ability of the martial soul itself, and the parts that are not in line or cannot be digested well will naturally become "losses".

This pure first soul ring that does not contain any soul beast power is equivalent to a blank drawing that can be freely drawn according to the will of the soul master!

Developing the abilities of the martial soul itself and constructing soul skills that match the martial soul is undoubtedly the choice to maximize the use of soul ring energy to evolve the martial soul!

Like You Chen, it is equivalent to looking at the reference answers in advance, outlining the abilities of the martial soul after evolution, and then leading the martial soul to evolve!

You Chen, who had just arrived in this world, somewhat blindly believed in the concept of "absorbing soul rings beyond the time limit".

He had seen such a process in many fan fictions, where a protagonist of average talent absorbed the soul rings of suitable soul beasts over a period of time, and his martial soul was freed from its shackles, evolving from a trash martial soul to one that was strong enough to take down the entire field.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find many loopholes in it.

As for the suitable soul beast, would the families and sects whose martial souls are passed down from generation to generation choose one that is worse than the one he researched alone?

Look at Bibi Dong and Tang San, their second martial spirits have exceeded their optimal lifespan by more than hundreds or thousands of years?

If it’s really that awesome… then Tang San and Bibi Dong’s second spirits should be able to easily reach god-level strength.

In fact, the difference in the age of the combined soul rings of Bibi Dong's two martial souls is at least hundreds of thousands of years, but there is no qualitative difference in the quality of the martial souls.

When Tang San first started practicing Blue Silver Grass, he also absorbed it beyond the limit, but he didn't even allow the Blue Silver Grass to reveal some of the characteristics of the Blue Silver Emperor in advance.

Absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit... Why can absorbing spirit rings beyond the normal period of time allow martial spirits to evolve? Evolution is achieved through pain and exploitation of potential? But on the other hand, it seems more reasonable to evolve like Pokémon evolution, which is not only painless but also comfortable and smooth?

It is obviously a bit presumptuous to simply equate the absorption of spirit rings beyond the age limit with the evolution of martial spirits.

After breaking through this obstacle of knowledge and understanding, You Chen quickly figured this out.

In order to find out the real reason behind this, You Chen began in-depth research.

With the knowledge reserve of Spirit Hall, he quickly found out something.

First of all, super-limit absorption of spirit rings can indeed improve the quality of martial spirits and even evolve them, but in the real Douluo Continent, it is definitely not as magical as shown in fan fiction.

It would be fine if an intermediate martial soul could evolve into an advanced martial soul with just one soul ring, but with two or three soul rings to the top level, a Soul Sage or even a Soul Emperor or Soul King could evolve a trash martial soul into the strength of a super martial soul?

Have those big families' hundreds or thousands of years of inheritance been just for nothing?

For most people in this world, the evolution of martial spirit is a long-term process that requires the efforts of countless generations.

Take You Chen as an example. Normally, after he breaks through the shackles of his original talent by relying on whale glue and the second, third and fourth rings that have been practiced for a long time, he will continue to practice step by step. If he practices hard throughout his life, he will have the hope of reaching the Soul Emperor and evolving his original intermediate martial soul into a high-level martial soul.

If you get married and have children at this time, the probability of your offspring inheriting a high-level martial spirit will be greatly increased.

If this is passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years, perhaps a new natural top-level martial spirit will be born.

You Chen is not sure about other martial souls, but his own “Stardust Dragon” martial soul definitely has such potential!

Because after absorbing the fourth soul ring to evolve his martial soul, You Chen has realized that the true identity of his martial soul was not a young wind dragon from the beginning! Instead, it is the ace monster "Stardust Dragon" of the protagonist Yusei Fudo in Yu-Gi-Oh 5DS!

It was only because of his lack of aptitude that his martial soul was congenitally deficient, causing him to degenerate into this state.

He was trying to do two things at the time, watching Yu-Gi-Oh 5DS four times on his computer while reading Douluo Dalu fan fiction on his phone, and somehow he came across.

I thought this time travel was only related to him reading Douluo Dalu fan fiction, but it turns out that Yu-Gi-Oh is also involved!

After his martial soul evolved for the first time, You Chen felt a little regretful.

If he had known the truth about his martial soul earlier, his choice of soul ring would naturally be closer to perfection. The third soul ring might even allow his martial soul to complete its first evolution, which would give him more opportunities and possibilities to complete the next evolution.

But it’s definitely not too late now.

Now he has another chance!

This brings us back to You Chen’s research on the evolution of spirit rings and martial spirits.

You Chen discovered during his observation and research that the evolution of a soul master's martial soul caused by absorbing soul rings, except for the special seventh ring which was fixed as the soul skill of the martial soul's true body, in terms of evolution efficiency alone, the first three rings were far higher than the later ones!

The first ring absorbs the most suitable 400-year soul ring, and the evolution it brings to the martial soul is no worse than the soul king's fifth soul ring absorbing an ordinary 10,000-year soul ring!

Just like in the original book, the sooner you absorb the natural treasures, the better. All of this suggests the word "early".

With this inspiration and enlightenment, You Chen started research along this line.

What exactly affects the evolution of martial soul brought about by absorbing soul rings?

Is the blood young? How many soul rings do you have? Soul power, physical fitness, mental strength? How well do the soul skills you have acquired match your martial soul? ...

After more than twenty years, relying on his amazing wisdom, he finally got the answer!

An answer that cannot be said to be absolutely correct, but although vague, it is enough for him to see the way forward clearly.

Qi and blood are the limitation? Correct!

Soul rings and soul power are limitations? Correct!

The matching degree of the spirit ring is a limitation? Correct!

But the bottom line is that the evolution of the martial soul is essentially a mutation caused by the improvement of the martial soul's original power.

Chapter 6 Theory of Spirit Evolution (2)

As the Qi and blood become exhausted, the soul power becomes more powerful, the number of soul rings that shackle the martial soul increases, and the martial soul becomes more stable.

Just like the evolution of organisms in nature, evolution is a benign mutation, and as the genes of organisms gradually become stable during evolution, the probability of mutations becomes lower and lower.

That is to say, as the soul master's level increases, the martial soul becomes more stable, and it becomes increasingly difficult to pry the martial soul into evolution.

Analyzed from this perspective, absorbing spirit rings beyond the age limit, especially in the early stages of absorbing the first few spirit rings, can indeed greatly increase the progress of martial spirit evolution compared to normal years.

But the evolution of martial soul is definitely not simply about "accumulating quantity".

How does a soul master absorb soul rings to enhance the original power of his martial soul, thereby causing his martial soul to "mutate"?

Let’s first take a look at what changes spirit rings have brought to spirit masters?

Soul skills, the improvement of physical fitness, soul power, mental strength, and the original power of martial soul.

Among them, physical fitness, soul power, and mental strength can be collectively referred to as the improvement of the three elements of essence, energy, and spirit.
