Douluo: On Becoming a God through Science

Some people may say that it is just a Fire Dragon Martial Spirit, which is no big deal. Maybe after hybridization, it can make the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex bloodline even stronger!

But... for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is already the world's number one beast spirit, is there any need to continue to strengthen it? Obviously not.

Compared with evolution, they obviously attach more importance to "stability" and "no degeneration"!

The hardness of the Fire Dragon Martial Soul is not weaker than that of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul. In the process of combining the two, it is very likely that the genetic strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is weaker than that of the Fire Dragon, resulting in the production of a Fire Dragon Soul Master.

If this happens once or twice, the bloodline will be truly "polluted".

Therefore, they can accept the union and marriage with those martial soul masters who have dragon genes but are weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, but they are unwilling to accept Liu Erlong into the family tree.

And now, a soul master with the same "Fire Dragon" martial spirit appeared in front of You Chen...

"I really want to see what the difference will be between the children she produces at different levels!"

You Chen felt that his researcher soul was burning.

Perhaps it was because You Chen's gaze was too scorching when he was lost in thought, causing Ignis, who was unaware of the reason, to blush on her cold face.

You Chen came back to his senses and nodded slightly to Ignis: "As a credit to you for taking the initiative to serve as the experimental subject, as long as you can successfully advance to Soul Sect this time and I certify that you have the combat power of Soul King, then... you will be the first beast leader of our Soul Fighting Beasts - Dragon Head!"

Ignis looked up suddenly, her eyes shining brightly, full of expectation and desire.

The Soul Fighting Beasts below also looked at Ignis with envy, longing, or reluctance.

The Soul Fighting Beast organization established by You Chen only has three clear classes except for him as the leader.

Although the beast soldiers are divided into senior beast soldiers who command lower-level beast soldiers like squad leaders, lower-level beast soldiers who are commanded, and finally reserve beast soldiers, they are actually all of the same class.

For example, if there are any unsolvable conflicts, the superior beast soldiers will not judge and deal with the subordinate beast soldiers, but the beast master will mediate first, and finally it will be handed over to You Chen to make the direct judgment.

The superior beast soldiers can only rely on discipline to restrain the subordinate beast soldiers when they are performing tasks.

But the animal heads, or the "twelve animal heads", are different.

This is the clear “management” and “ruling class” that has the power of direct trial and judgment!

What's more important is...

Anyone who becomes the first beast leader of a species can then make a wish to the leader You Chen that does not endanger You Chen and the organization!

How could they not yearn for this?

Just a few words from You Chen were enough to inspire the fighting genes of all the soul beasts!

——She, Ignis, can be the head of the beast, and so can we!

Similar thoughts popped up in countless people's minds!

Chapter 92: Black Firearms Appear

You Chen had already told the Soul Beasts how to become the Beast Leader long ago.

The first type has combat power of at least Soul Saint level!

The second type is to have at least the combat power of a Soul King and have made special contributions!

These two are the options for directly becoming the animal heads.

There is also an indirect third option.

This third option is related to the rules related to the animal heads formulated by You Chen.

That is, for the same beast spirit, only the strongest one can be considered the "beast head"! For example, for the same dragon spirit, since there can only be one dragon head, you must defeat the existing dragon head to take on the role of dragon head!

The third option is to exchange for the qualification to challenge the animal head of the same species after making a certain amount of merit. After defeating it head-on, you can ascend to the top!

This first option was actually the pie that You Chen painted for the Soul Fighting Beasts at the beginning.

Because by the time the Soul Fighting Beasts grow to possess the combat power of Soul Saints, it is likely that a full-scale war sweeping across the continent will have begun.

The second and third options are the real ways to get to the top that You Chen has given!

Needless to say, the third way to defeat the previous Beast Head and take the position is to stimulate the Soul Fighting Beasts to compete. Don’t think that you can sit back and relax just because you become the Beast Head. You must continue to work hard to improve yourself to prevent being caught up by latecomers and kicked down from the high position!

The second option is the route to power in the normal sense, but this route is firmly held in the hands of You Chen. Only those who are recognized by him can get to power.

The problem lies in this "special merit". First of all, what is "special merit"? This is something that You Chen can explain completely! In other words, whoever he wants to be promoted can be promoted!

Strictly speaking, many of the Soul Fighting Beasts' missions are no less risky than Ignis's time as a test subject.

But You Chen did not say that so-and-so had made any special contributions...

What really matters is when he gives a name!

If it was before obtaining the system, You Chen would not have given this name so quickly.

Because the Soul Beast's potential is actually higher than You Chen himself, he must firmly grasp the control of the Soul Beast in his hands.

Having suffered losses from the previous failed angel investment by Spirit Hall, even though he was their "savior" and had "given them a new life", the Soul Fighting Beasts' gratitude to him was far greater than that of the young talents of Spirit Hall, but he decided not to loosen the reins easily.

But it's different now.

His own potential and cultivation speed have far surpassed those of the Soul Fighting Beasts, so naturally he doesn't have to worry too much about the backlash caused by insufficient strength. Instead, he has to worry about their lack of enthusiasm, not working hard enough, and not practicing actively enough!

Otherwise, when I become a Titled Douluo, they won't be able to solve some small problems that I can't directly deal with. I'm afraid that in the end, there will be no beast soldiers or beast masters, and everyone will have to do intelligence and logistics work...

"No need to be impatient."

As You Chen's eyes swept over them, the Soul Fighting Beasts' restless hearts instantly calmed down, just like the musicians in an orchestra seeing the conductor draw a rest.

You Chen said calmly, "People who are too impatient will hardly notice their feet. They just rush forward recklessly and end up falling and getting bloody."

As You Chen spoke, the Soul Beasts seemed to have experienced the tragedy themselves and held their breath in silence.

"This mission is just a stage test of your practice over the past few years. No matter how well you do, it is as it should be."

——There will be no special merit.

After hearing such a metaphor, many people who were originally full of fighting spirit lowered their heads.

But then You Chen threw out a sentence.

"But don't worry, because I will be watching you."

This gentle voice suddenly gave them strength.

You Chen looked at everyone who had entered the state and nodded silently: "Now, let's go. Unless there is an out-of-specification existence, I will not take action."

Just as You Chen had described when he was hunting for the fifth soul ring, the dangers faced in hunting for soul rings not only come from the soul beast itself, but also from the chain reactions that may be caused by killing the target.

It’s just hunting down a soul beast that’s over ten thousand years old. Today’s soul fighting beasts can do it if they organize themselves.

But if you want to repel the soul beasts that may come in the form of 20,000, 30,000 or even 50,000 year level, it will be impossible.

Therefore, You Chen’s main job this time is to eliminate interference for them.

This is not a waste of manpower, nor is there enough time, but because You Chen thinks this is the most appropriate arrangement.

Because this trip is not only to obtain Ignis's fourth soul ring, but also to test the actual combat capabilities of the soul beasts, as well as... You Chen's third major research project, the inspection of firearms.

You Chen is a genius, but by no means omnipotent.

He had never been involved in the research of thermal weapons in his previous life, so he knew nothing about it.

And gunpowder does not exist in this world.

Starting from scratch is bound to be a time-consuming and labor-intensive project.

But a year ago, during Tang San’s second mission, You Chen obtained the “Celebration Fireworks”.

With samples and expected results, it was not difficult for You Chen to infer the manufacturing method of gunpowder.

As for the equipment that shoots gunpowder, it was based on the hundred Zhuge magic crossbows taken from Tang San.

There is no gunpowder in this world, and there is also a lack of research on mechanisms, or what You Chen prefers to call machinery.

After regaining his ambition, You Chen realized the potential of the mechanical hidden weapon in Tang San's hands.

Compared to the Buddha's Wrath Tanglian and the like, You Chen has always appreciated the Zhuge Divine Crossbow which can be mass-produced.

Drawing on the structure of Zhuge's divine crossbow, combined with Youchen's experience in researching and developing soul guides, and most importantly, gunpowder that amplifies its power, with Youchen as the leader and the cooperation of some assistants he selected and trained from among the beast users as researchers, the world's first firearm was born.

Different from the common firearms that shoot bullets.

Limited by the current level of development and the problem of gunpowder production, You Chen chose to retain part of the structure of Zhuge Divine Crossbow and made some modifications on this basis.

In the end, he used gunpowder not as a means of output, but as an auxiliary fuel to accelerate the shooting speed of the crossbow arrows, thereby achieving a power far exceeding that of the original Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

If the original Zhuge Divine Crossbow had the power to threaten the Four-Ring Soul Master, the improved Zhuge Divine Crossbow would be enough to threaten the Soul Emperor.

No, this obviously can no longer be called Zhuge's Divine Crossbow.

Black powder is one of the four great inventions of the ancient country of Youchen's previous life.

So he called it - black firearm.

The most original black firearm, the black fire crossbow.

And this black fire crossbow is the reason why You Chen believes that they are absolutely qualified to try to hunt down the ten thousand year old earth fire dragon with top-level bloodline.

Chapter 93 Hunting the Ten Thousand Year Earth Fire Dragon (1)

In a blink of an eye, half a day had passed since the hunting team composed of Soul Fighting Beasts entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

According to the information gathered by the intelligence personnel, the earth fire dragon that met the age requirement of Ignis was active near the canyon about ten kilometers ahead of them.

Theoretically, they have entered the activity range of the Earth Fire Dragon.

According to the eyewitness testimony of the intelligence provider, this thousand-year-old fire dragon is suspected to be a lone wolf, basically resting in a natural cave deep in the canyon, and occasionally going out to the woodlands or grassland areas outside the canyon to find food.

Whether in terms of fit or safety, it can be said that it is extremely suitable for Ignis.

You Chen used the Breath-Concealing Technique to silently patrol the perimeter of the team, watching the hunting team's rigorous and efficient performance along the way, and was extremely satisfied in his heart.

Along the way, he did not replace the scouts' job. According to the pre-determined arrangements, he would only give warnings when there was a possibility of a collision with a soul beast with a cultivation level of more than 50,000 years.

However, they traveled hundreds of kilometers into the Star Dou Great Forest in half a day, and the hunting area they were involved in was still on the outskirts of the forest. The probability of encountering a 50,000-year-old soul beast was comparable to winning the second prize in the lottery.

Why not the first prize? Because most people can’t win the first prize.

The area division of the Star Dou Great Forest can be simply divided into the "outermost edge area", "outer circle", "internal mixed area", "core area", and the "Lake of Life restricted area" which human soul masters have basically never even heard of at this stage.

In a sense, the "Lake of Life Forbidden Zone" is the real core zone, and the current "core zone" is just the boundary between the core zone and the internal mixed zone. But let's still follow the above division of "core zone" and "forbidden zone".

Starting from the internal mixed area, soul beasts of ten thousand year level can be seen basically everywhere.

The area where they are now is at the junction of the outer circle and the inner mixed zone. The soul beasts here are basically hundreds and thousands of years old. The soul beasts of ten thousand years old are relatively rare and can only be seen occasionally.

It can be predicted that the Soul Fighting Beasts will be active in this area for a long time in the future.

As more and more soul fighting beasts reach the quasi-soul lord level 40, they will start hunting soul beasts that are over ten thousand years old in large numbers, and this area is the best hunting ground.

Therefore, You Chen did not actually encounter a situation that required him to come out and remind others.

They showed strong discipline and tacit understanding.

Path exploration, route planning to avoid spirit beasts as much as possible to avoid unnecessary battles, and tacit cooperation in the inevitable battles...

The control-type soul masters restricted and interrupted at the first moment, the auxiliary-type soul masters provided timely support, the defense-type soul masters provided assistance, the agile attack-type soul masters and the strong attack-type soul masters displayed explosive power and effective output... They indeed cooperated perfectly.

All this made Youchen very happy.

In particular, they will not be like those single-player game players who are obsessed with limited resources and hold on to their artifacts until they complete the level without using them. Even if the arrows and booster fuel of the black firearms are limited, they will use them without hesitation when necessary.

However, even if You Chen was satisfied with their performance, he would only escort them and review the troops carefully this time.

The development of black firearms is one aspect.

This thing can nominally kill a Soul Emperor, but it only has this much attack power. To really threaten a Soul Emperor, it must be done by a group that maximizes the advantages of standard mechanical weapons.

If the operator's strength is too low, the hit rate will naturally be pitifully low against a target that is far beyond their strength. Therefore, the elites who joined the hunting team this time are at least at the Soul Master level.

To fully utilize the power of black firearms, the soul master's own cultivation is equally important.

This is another aspect...

After this hunt, Ignis will be able to obtain a ten thousand year soul ring. Needless to say, the bonus of the ten thousand year soul ring will greatly enhance her strength, and she will normally be able to possess the combat power of a soul king.

Even without relying on black firearms, it can fight against ten thousand year soul beasts and has the ability to help other soul fighting beasts hunt for the fourth soul ring.

What’s more, there is the help of black firearms?

There is no longer much need for You Chen's help. If You Chen's strength remains stagnant at this stage, they will be able to threaten You Chen if they organize themselves.
