Douluo: On Becoming a God through Science

Let’s not talk about soul skills for now.

The essence of martial soul is the gift and miracle created by the unity of essence, energy and spirit.

Therefore, this aspect will passively promote the strengthening of martial soul power.

However, in order to make the martial soul undergo mutations, this aspect is just an additional detail, and it would deviate from the main topic due to too many words, so we will not discuss it in detail for now.

Excluding these two items, what remains is the direct and obvious improvement in the original power of the martial soul.

Among these, the first thing to consider is the absorption rate.

The absorption rate mainly depends on the compatibility between the martial soul and the soul beast.

For example, if a Blue Silver Grass spirit absorbs the Soft Bone Rabbit spirit ring, the degree of compatibility will never be too high, so it is likely that only less than 10% of the energy directly promotes the improvement of the spirit's origin.

This brings us to the second step... Which aspect of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is enhanced by this part of energy?

Probably only the aspect of "vitality".

Blue Silver Grass is a very simple martial soul. Its original attributes are mainly based on "plant growth and seeding", "(the martial soul's own) vitality", "(the martial soul's own) toughness", and "(mainly between blue silver grass) perception".

Taking the final evolution of Blue Silver Grass, "Blue Silver Emperor", as the cultivation direction, the most important things are obviously "plant growth and sowing" and "perception", followed by "vitality" and then toughness.

The efficiency of absorbing the soft bone rabbit soul ring is only 10%, and this 10% of energy obviously does not improve the two most important things.

If the purpose of absorbing soul rings is to evolve the martial soul, this is obviously a failed absorption.

At this point, it is enough for everyone to see the three key points of absorbing spirit rings for the evolution of martial souls.

First, the stability of the martial soul.

The martial soul cannot be too stable and needs to have a certain degree of plasticity.

To sum up, the fewer spirit rings the better, the lower the spirit power the better, the fewer spirit bones the better, and the younger the age the better.

Second, the amount of original energy.

The older the soul ring is, the more origin energy it contains.

The higher the degree of compatibility of the soul ring, the greater the rate of improvement of the martial soul essence per unit energy.

Third, the type of original energy.

The evolution conditions of different martial spirits are different.

The simpler the martial soul, the fewer types of original power it has, and vice versa.

It is necessary to enhance one or several types of original power in a targeted manner in order to reach the critical point of martial soul mutation.

And now, in the process of absorbing this first soul ring, You Chen felt as if he had really returned to the time when he absorbed the first soul ring.

He could not feel the constraints of the four spirit rings at all, and his spirit power was also limited to the bottleneck of level 10 by the rules of heaven and earth...

The state of Wuhun seemed to have returned to the free and restless state of his youth twenty years ago...

This system bestows soul rings, and the compatibility is self-evident.

This brings about the power that is enough to trigger the martial soul to mutate.

The only thing Youchen needs to consider is the third point, "type of energy".

What You Chen is doing is to anchor the soul skills first, thereby indirectly anchoring the changes in the original power of the martial soul brought about by the soul ring.

Just like the Blue Silver Grass has the Blue Silver Emperor as its landmark.

The Stardust Dragonling also has the Stardust Dragon beacon.

Compared to weapon spirits, the types of spirit origin powers of beast spirits are obviously much more complicated.

I won’t talk about the old-fashioned things like strength, agility, and durability.

In addition, there are also miscellaneous things such as body shape, scale skin composition, etc.

These items are basically common items possessed by all beast martial spirits.

Collectively referred to as "physical attributes".

Then we consider the elemental attributes such as "earth, fire, water, and wind" which are as numerous as stars.

Generally speaking, "physical attributes" basically depend on whether the spirit ring's "compatibility" is good enough.

As long as the soul ring has a high degree of compatibility, the martial soul will basically not grow crooked.

In order for the martial soul to evolve, it also depends on whether the growth of the "elemental attribute" power is correct and sufficient.

The initial form of You Chen's martial soul was called "Young Dragon of the Wind", which made him lock on the cultivation method towards the direction of "Ultimate Wind" from the beginning.

However, it was not until the "Origin of Wind" grew to a level comparable to that of a high-level martial soul, allowing the martial soul to evolve into a "Stardust Dragon", that he discovered the deviation of his path.

It is true that the Stardust Dragon is a dragon with wind attribute power, but it is by no means a dragon that only has wind attribute.

Its final form has a lot of light attributes, and the juvenile forms of the two cards, Stardust Dragon and Stardust Drake, also have light attributes.

Let’s look at Stardust Dragon’s effects and signature skills, the “Sacrificial Sanctuary” that negates the effects of destruction…

All these clearly show that Stardust Dragon is not a martial soul that takes the route of extreme wind.

Stars, wind, and holiness, these three powers are hidden in its body.

This is the conclusion drawn by You Chen.

The first three spirit rings have already traveled far enough in terms of wind attribute.

Therefore, You Chen deliberately chose a soul beast with star power when he got his fourth soul ring.

However, even so, the Stardust Dragon is still far from reaching the threshold of evolution.

According to You Chen's original inference, his martial soul would have a chance to evolve further only when he reached the seventh-ring Soul Saint level.

By that time, it will probably be the final limit of his life.

However, the system gave him another chance.

It is completely unknown what the future will be like and whether there will be another chance to obtain this system spirit ring.

You Chen took a gamble and placed all his hopes on this one soul ring!

The soul skill he wanted to construct was naturally - [Sacrificial Sanctuary]!

The core ability of Stardust Dragon written on the card!

If he could completely engrave the Stardust Dragon's signature ability written in the card description, his martial soul would definitely be able to complete the evolution! And open up the way to the "Stardust Dragon"!

The color of the adaptive soul ring began to change rapidly.

White, then yellow, then orange, then purple...

An hour later, the soul ring had turned as black as ink.

The fluctuation of soul power finally subsided.

A pair of dragon wings suddenly spread out, and the wind and waves they created knocked over every object in the room.

"call."

He exhaled lightly, opened his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"First Soul Skill - Sacrifice Sanctuary! Done!"

Chapter 7: The Six-Dimensional Rating of Youchen's Martial Spirit

[Sacrificial Sanctuary].

Effect as a Yu-Gi-Oh card: When the effect of a Magic or Trap Monster on the field is activated, you can activate it by releasing this card, negating the activation and destroying it, and reviving Stardust Dragon at the End Phase.

Judging from the description, this is definitely not just a defensive skill, it also has the ability to destroy the opponent in turn. If it is fully localized, it should be a soul skill with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

But the reality is not so.

This is a purely auxiliary and defensive field skill!

Its effect is that as a defense and protection domain soul skill, when the domain is activated, every time you are attacked, you will accumulate soul power in the domain. You can mark friendly units in the domain and change the damage and attacks received by friendly units to be borne by yourself, which can also accumulate soul power.

You can gain absolute invincibility and resistance for a period of time, or perform a treatment, by consuming a large amount of soul power at one time and liberating the domain.

Even attacks from the Soul Emperor level can still be weakened by more than 50%. At the same time, this weakening is also effective for poison, curse, mental attacks and other means!

Simply put, after opening this field, the defense resistance of Youchen and his allies will be significantly improved.

This is definitely a powerful soul skill!

But compared to soul skills, You Chen has always cared more about the improvement of martial soul.

The power of soul skills is only temporary, and the changes in martial soul represent how far he can go!

The change in the martial spirit was so significant that the increase in strength alone was at least doubled! And the Stardust Dragon was always known for its speed, so the increase in strength was just the icing on the cake!

He glanced sideways slightly. Originally, when the martial spirit was possessed, there were only thin white scales on his arm, but now, the entire palm had turned into a thick, powerful and sharp dragon claw hand!

Feeling the changes after the martial spirit possessed him, You Chen's eyes became extremely bright.

Evolution! Such a huge change and increase is the most advanced level even among high-level martial spirits!

This is true evolution!

He had instinctively understood the new name of his martial soul.

"Advanced Martial Spirit - Star Skeleton Dragon!"

You Chen has read a lot of Douluo fan fiction, and in the process of being a scholar and researcher, it is natural that he cannot do without "borrowing".

He was very fond of the method of determining the attributes of martial souls in the martial soul six-dimensional diagram in the book "The Ultimate Conductive Terror Beast Stands on the Douluo Continent".

When he was 13 years old, he published it in the Spirit Hall's research journal after making some minor revisions.

The six major indicators are [Strength/Destructive Power], [Speed ​​(including attack speed and agility)], [Toughness (defensive toughness, or strength as a weapon spirit)], [Range and Endurance], [Energy (non-attribute spirit power, mental power, attribute amplification)], and [Other special abilities (additional points)]

Each indicator is scored from 0 to 6 points, with a total score of 30 (+6) points.

The reason why additional points are specifically listed is that the special abilities of many martial spirits do not involve actual combat, or it is difficult to make a rigid evaluation.

For example, a special attack that is purely targeted at a certain attribute, such as the evil attribute. Another example is the Blue Silver Emperor's ability to communicate with his people.

These are directly quantified into intuitive scores and included in the total score, which can easily lead to unreasonable situations where high-level martial spirits are scored on par with top-level martial spirits, but are beaten by top-level martial spirits.

In addition, some special abilities themselves have an impact on the other five dimensions.

The indicator ranges from 0 to 6 points, and each score is actually a transition.

0 (no relevant performance);

1 (Only possesses the most basic performance of this level, the average level of low-level martial spirits);

2 (mediocre performance, average of intermediate martial spirits);

3 (stronger performance, average of high-level martial spirits, advantages of intermediate martial spirits, such as the speed of intermediate agile attack martial spirits and the strength of intermediate strong attack martial spirits);

4 (top performance, average value of top martial spirits, advantage of advanced martial spirits);

5 (super performance, average level of super martial spirits. Most super martial spirits are hexagonal strongmen. In terms of attribute energy, 5.5 is the ultimate level);

6 (Exceptional level, an advantage possessed by very few super martial spirits or god-level martial spirits).

Before the spirit evolved, the six-dimensional diagram of the Stardust Dragon was as follows:

[Strength]: 2 (average value for an intermediate martial spirit)

[Speed]: 2 (average value for intermediate martial spirits)

[Toughness]: 2 (average value for intermediate martial spirits)

[Endurance]: 2 (moderate soul and physical strength consumption, slight physical activity bonus)

[Energy]: 3 (strong wind attribute energy, moderate star attribute energy)

[Special Ability]: 2 (Dragon-like wings, a versatile ability that can significantly enhance combat power)

【Total score Stardust Dragon.jpg）

Most primary martial spirits are around 5 points, while most intermediate martial spirits are scored between 8 and 12 points.

A martial soul that is rated top among intermediate martial souls, plus the blessing of the three elements of spirit, energy and soul that are higher due to the super-age spirit ring, this is the capital that enables You Chen to compare with high-level martial soul masters of the same level.

The panel of the Star Skeleton Dragon has reached a higher level.

Relying on the knowledge level of the martial spirit research master, You Chen quickly came up with an approximate value:
