Douluo: On Becoming a God through Science

"How dare you address His Holiness the Pope by his name? Do you think you are—"

The Soul King shouted angrily, but suddenly a strong wind blew and stardust flew.

In the blink of an eye, You Chen completed the martial soul possession, and five soul rings, one yellow, two purple and two black, appeared. A pair of dragon wings stretched out, and he grabbed You Xing in one hand and flew into the sky.

"Martial spirit, appear!"

Seeing this, the middle-aged Soul King didn't bother to reprimand You Chen. As soon as he finished speaking, his soul power fluctuated, and a pitch-black iron chain appeared in his hand.

At the same time, the other two Soul Masters, one of whom was an auxiliary system, also used auxiliary soul skills to bless the Soul King. As for the other one, who was the master of a branch hall, he just completed the martial soul possession and then began to release long-range soul skills to the sky.

But the accuracy and power...are a bit sloppy.

But the Soul King didn't expect much from the other two at first. Although You Chen showed his Soul King cultivation, he had expected such a situation and was naturally not afraid. Although he was not a super-age Soul King of the new era, he had the best soul ring ratio of the old era!

The fifth soul ring, the black ten thousand year soul ring flickered, and the pitch-black iron chain flew up in the wind, instantly forming a net that stretched towards Youchen's frame.

Woo——.

The mournful wail of the wind resounded through the sky. You Chen activated his third soul ring. The violent airflow was like a spherical vortex that exploded with You Chen as the center, tearing the net into pieces in an instant.

"What!?"

The Soul King's eyes widened in disbelief: "How could he use his thousand-year soul skill to defeat my ten-thousand-year soul skill so easily!?"

This fact that went against his common sense happened before his eyes, and the proud middle-aged Soul King was shocked.

You Chen looked down at him and said coldly, "You are showing off your power without even knowing the strength of the person you are threatening. You also said nonsense like 'the strong should obey the weak'... You are such an idiot with a shit brain. If you are not from the Spirit Hall, I will kill you here today."

After saying this, he walked away.

The middle-aged Soul King's face turned pale and blue.

Only the third soul skill defeated his strongest fifth soul skill. The difference in strength between the two sides was so great that they were not on the same level. You Chen still had two soul skills to use, plus that high mobility... It was a joke to keep the opponent.

The Soul Sect leader who came with him to take office looked around with a somewhat bewildered expression, while the old Hall Master who had been slacking off before had already lowered his head and pretended to count the ants on the ground.

After a while, the middle-aged Soul King said in a deep voice: "Quickly inform that master. You Chen's strength is far beyond expectations. If he is not a Soul Emperor, he can't even be restricted!"

……

You Chen had naturally anticipated that people from the Spirit Hall would come to stop him.

Of course, it was impossible for Bibi Dong to let You Chen escape from her sight easily.

It would be fine if You Chen left Notting City by himself, but leaving You Xing in the city. Although Bibi Dong would not think that she could control You Chen, she would not let the members of the Spirit Hall of Notting City directly stop him.

If You Chen really abandons You Xing and disappears for a long time, Bibi Dong will probably take action. Her approach would probably be to control You Xing first, and then secretly hunt down You Chen while issuing a notice that You Chen may have defected.

But the fact that the master and the disciple left at the same time was an obvious signal of "running away" for Bibi Dong. It was an act that touched her bottom line and she would never let it go easily.

In fact, You Chen can now use the Starlight Incarnation and the Breath-Containing Technique to sneak out without alerting the small shrimps in Notting City, and then sneak back quietly after finishing his business. During this time, no one will notice that he has left Notting City.

Just like killing Bai Hu before, he could just leave the city for a short time without being discovered, and it could be done just by relying on the Breath-Concealing Technique.

The reason for not doing so is very simple.

First, he had no intention of really leaving Nottingham City. Since he would come back anyway, there was no need to easily reveal this trump card that could really deceive Bibi Dong and allow him to escape.

Second, reduce Bibi Dong’s vigilance.

As the saying goes, if you borrow, you must return. It is not difficult to borrow again. After the experience of leaving and returning once, Bibi Dong would be less vigilant about his next departure. After all, he was just going out to do something, not really defecting.

Besides, he will start a task harvesting plan for the Spirit Hall members later, which can also reduce the probability of Bibi Dong associating it with himself.

3. Continue to strengthen Bibi Dong’s misjudgment of Youxing.

In order to obtain spirit rings for his disciples, he was willing to do anything even if it meant conflict with Spirit Hall members and even openly going against Bibi Dong... Compared to You Chen's restrained style in the past, in Bibi Dong's perspective, wasn't this a sign of special importance?

What practical effect does this approach have?

Being close can make Bibi Dong feel more at ease about You Chen.

As for the distant future... It's hard to say for Youchen, maybe he will play a key role one day?

Chapter 90 "Red Dragon" Ignis

You Chen knew that once Bibi Dong knew that he had taken his disciples out of the city, she would probably send people to hunt him down immediately.

If his traces were found in sparsely populated places like the Star Dou Great Forest, they would most likely choose to imprison him and use him as a tool to threaten Qian Renxue in the future.

However, no matter how hard she thought, she could not have imagined that a control-type Soul King and two Soul Masters could not delay him for even a minute after discovering that he had left the city.

The biggest problem was not that he couldn't delay, but that it was difficult to confirm his flight route. In addition, there was a most important information gap - You Chen didn't actually need to bring a burden with him.

The estimated flight distance when flying with someone and flying alone is naturally very different.

This makes it extremely difficult to track him down.

Therefore, in order to maximize this advantage, after leaving the sight of the three people from the Spirit Hall, You Chen no longer suppressed his speed and began to fly at full speed.

Previously, it actually took more than a week to get from the border of the Star Forest to Notting City, but this time, even though it was not the shortest route, it took less than half a day to reach the destination.

A hidden village on the border of the Star Forest.

This is a temporary base of the Soul Fighting Beast in the Tiandou Empire.

Through the communication of the Beast Master, the Soul Fighting Beasts here also knew the time of Youchen's arrival in advance.

At this moment, seeing You Chen appear, twenty-seven people immediately knelt on one knee in unison and saluted.

"Chief!" X27

Twenty-seven voices sounded almost in unison. From this aspect alone, it can be seen that among these soul fighting beasts, there is already a "discipline" similar to strict military discipline.

You Chen looked at the twenty-seven young faces who swore their loyalty to him and nodded slightly.

These Soul Fighting Beasts were basically trained by him since they were young, and today, most of them are between 10 and 20 years old.

Boys and girls of this age group, not to mention soul masters who have a very short adolescence, even ordinary people change every day.

Only one year later, the number of Soul Masters, which originally consisted mainly of great soul masters and only existed in the single digits, has increased to tens digits.

The twenty-seven people present were all elite soul beasts. The seventeen soul masters were needless to say, and the nine great soul masters were also as powerful as soul masters. As for the last one...

A quasi-soul master who reached level 14 at the age of 40! A 15-year-old red-haired girl with a top-level offensive beast spirit and a fire dragon spirit, nicknamed "Red Dragon" Ignis!

(ignis.jpg)

Even though she is only 15 years old, she is like a ripe peach, showing the beauty of a mature woman.

Especially the beautiful red hair that is as soft and smooth as tassels, just like a dancing flame.

No, Ignis's red hair is more gorgeous and eye-catching than the flames.

So it is a "red dragon" instead of a "fire dragon".

From Ignis's nickname, we can get a glimpse of her breathtaking beauty.

However, unlike her charming and beautiful appearance, Ignis is cold, loyal, ruthless and resolute. This contrast makes her even more attractive to the opposite sex.

When it comes to the "dragon" martial spirit, the first thing people think of is naturally the "Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex", the continent's number one beast martial spirit.

Compared to the Soul Beasts purchased from the auction house, Ignis is one of the few Soul Beasts that joined the organization in other ways.

However, Ignis has no direct relationship with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family.

Perhaps there might be some connection between her ancestors and her ancestors, but at least in the past hundred years, she has had no relationship with that family.

After awakening its martial soul, like other soul fighting beasts, due to the mutation of its bloodline, it was unable to suppress the alienation of its form. Two scarlet dragon horns grew on its forehead and its skin was covered with cracked dragon scales.

Ignis, who was regarded as ominous and taboo by her parents and villagers, relied on the super sensory abilities of the dragon soul beast to discover something unusual at home. After overhearing her parents secretly and horrifiedly describing her as a "monster", she fled the village before she could become an auction item like other people of her kind.

Life in the city is not easy. Even if you hide your face with a hood, with the experience of a child, you still can't escape being discovered by others.

Fortunately, even if it is impossible to attach spirit rings, the mutated martial soul is equivalent to being in a state of martial soul possession at all times. Ignis's strength is no less than those of the top-level first-ring spirit masters. In an ordinary small city, ordinary people are definitely not her opponents.

Disliked by his parents and fellow villagers, he was nearly captured and sold as a slave in the city...

Ignis, who had finally escaped, no longer considered herself a "human" from that moment on, and began to hate "humans".

After discovering that she possessed "powerful" powers, she naturally thought of rescuing her own kind and gathering more companions.

Then, in the process of rescuing her compatriots, she attacked You Chen, the "slave owner"...

Once the "truth" was revealed, it became a natural thing for her to join Soul Fighting Beast.

Especially after seeing You Chen reverse the dilemma of the Soul Fighting Beasts being unable to practice and being able to autonomously release the "alienation characteristics" that they used to regard as incomplete, like many other Soul Fighting Beasts, they began to respect You Chen as their leader. (PS: The setting that Soul Fighting Beasts can autonomously release their beast characteristics has always existed, but there are too many settings to write about, and I forgot to write them down... However, this can also be analyzed from the fact that the Beast Masters can normally do intelligence work in Notting City.)

After seeing You Chen's many methods and powerful abilities, and how he actually led these heretics who were regarded as "orcs" to live a good life under the sun, Ignis gradually became convinced and regarded him as her master, regarding You Chen as a leader who could completely lead these "heretics" to break out of their current situation and move towards a bright future.

"Ignis, next, I will hunt for your fourth spirit ring. According to my calculations, after staying at level 40 for a year, using the Soul Power Borrowing Technique, you will actually be at least level 42 when absorbing spirit rings. This time, the upper limit of the age of the spirit rings you can hunt should be years. And our target this time is the Earth Fire Dragon with an age of years. Theoretically... this spirit ring is completely within your tolerance range.

However, I cannot guarantee that the effect of the Soul Power Borrowing Method on the ten thousand year soul ring will be exactly the same as before before the actual experiment. Even if I find that the soul ring exceeds your tolerance limit and interrupt it in time, it may cause you irreparable damage. Even so... you still don't plan to change your mind?"

"Yes, Chief."

Ignis lowered her head slightly and replied in a deep voice: "I am mentally prepared to give you my heart."

Chapter 91 On the Strength and Inheritance of Martial Spirits

"very good."

If you were to ask which soul beast You Chen is most satisfied with, it would naturally be the "red dragon" in front of him.

As a top-level dragon martial spirit, the Fire Dragon does not possess powerful and versatile special abilities like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Even compared to Yan's Fire Lord, its basic attributes are superior, but its additional points are inferior, and its overall quality is inferior.

But in You Chen's opinion, Ignis's talent is no less than that of Yan, who is a guaranteed Super Douluo!

There is no other reason, Ignis is born with full soul power!

The three people of the Spirit Hall's golden generation all had soul power qualifications slightly above level 9, but none of them had innate full soul power.

Except for some special cases, the level of soul power qualification is basically equivalent to the quality of martial soul.

It can be roughly considered that 1~3 is low quality, 3~5 is intermediate quality, 5~8 is high quality, and 8~10 is top quality. As for the natural super quality martial spirits, most of them can only be called quasi-super martial spirits when they are just awakened. It takes a while for the spirit master's spirit and body to grow again, and obtain a few spirit rings before they can truly reach the super realm.

As for Qian Renxue? Innate level 20, divine martial spirit, what else is there to say?

Therefore, even though the six-dimensional scores are similar, Ignis's overall potential is actually higher than the literal data.

After all, the six-dimensional graph is just a reference value. It doesn't mean that a martial soul with a higher value will definitely beat those with a lower value. If it could be calculated so accurately, You Chen wouldn't have created an additional score that was not included in the total score.

You Chen has never taken his own six-dimensional diagram for summarizing phenomena as a guiding principle.

Just like the control department, strong attack department, agile attack department... the real significance of these department classifications is to guide soul masters in the direction of cultivating their martial souls, rather than limiting their own path just because you judge that your martial soul is of the strong attack department.

The six-dimensional diagram listed by You Chen is nothing more than a refinement of this guiding function, allowing soul masters to understand their own martial souls and the martial souls of others from a more rational and data-based perspective.

When talking about the strength of martial spirits, we have to mention why the Flame Lord, whose comprehensive performance and potential are no less than those of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Clear Sky Hammer, which are now famous as the strongest martial spirits, has not developed a similar family?

It’s not that the Wuhun Hall of the original time and space was destroyed, so it cannot be passed on.

After all, considering the number of worlds and soul masters that exist in Douluo Continent, there are definitely more than just a few top-level martial spirits.

Firstly, development cannot be judged solely by personal ability. Other forces may not be happy with the rise of multiple families to share the pie.

Another objective reason why it is difficult to pass on is the stability of the martial soul.

Let’s take the Fire Lord as an example.

It is not the case that the offspring of a Flame Lord Soul Master will definitely give birth to a Flame Lord Soul Master. Instead, it is very likely that it will just be a weakened high-level martial soul called "Flame Elf". And if the Flame Elf Soul Master is not hardworking enough and gives birth to a cub before growing to a high enough level, the martial soul may be weakened again and become a being like the "Flame Elf".

Why is this so? Because this part of the genes of the first generation of Flame Lord Soul Masters is not stable.

The reason why Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex are known as the world's number one weapon spirit and beast spirit is because their "genes" have stabilized. They all start at the high-level spirit level and the top-level spirit level. If they can get the ninth ring to the Titled Douluo, they can basically have super spirit strength.

Although Flame Lord and Golden Crocodile are also top-level spirits with good potential, it is difficult for them to form a family like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex because their genes are not yet stable. They must be stabilized for several generations, that is, they must produce Titled Douluo and pass on their bloodline, in order to stabilize the mutation factors and achieve the effect of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit being basically the same for the whole family.

Therefore, "the best in the world" does not mean that the martial spirit itself is invincible, but that it can most stably produce "top" qualifications.

As I said before, You Chen is just a genius, not "all-powerful".

These mutated soul masters who experience abnormal changes when their martial souls awaken, causing their bodies to turn into beasts and becoming unable to practice normally, are essentially genetically unstable. At the same time, the strength of their bloodlines far exceeds their own spiritual will. This imbalance ultimately leads to malignant deformation.

A big part of the reason why he was able to solve the problems of these beast-like mutant soul masters was that his main research project had always been the original power of the martial soul and the three-element cultivation system of essence, energy and spirit.

Of course, if it weren't for this reason, You Chen wouldn't have chosen to establish Soul Fighting Beast so easily back then - it's impossible that he specially researched such a new project just because he wanted a beast maid, right?

Also, since these soul masters who experience beast transformation have this problem because their bloodlines are too strong, they actually generally have good talents. After You Chen solves their problems and allows them to practice normally, they will naturally have a smoother journey on the soul master's path than ordinary people.

In short, from this perspective, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is unwilling to acknowledge Liu Erlong as a member of the family and allow him to join the family tree to continue the interbreeding and inheritance, most likely in order to ensure the stability of this bloodline, that is, the genes.
