Douluo: On Becoming a God through Science

Of course, whether it's top-quality soul beast meat, help in obtaining soul rings, or physical objects or human resources, Ignis has to repay them with merit.

And these are things that can be exchanged for merit.

You Chen didn't have too many restrictions on the resources that could be exchanged for merit, and in this regard, he was very generous to all his subordinates.

This means that if resource rewards are given that can be exchanged for merit, then "wishes" will seem too cheap.

If You Chen used the resources that Ignis could have obtained within the rules to fulfill her wish, it would be too perfunctory.

In fact, if he wants to break through the merit exchange list and make further improvements on this basis, he must abandon the many research projects in his hands, spend a lot of time to tailor a set of systematic practice methods for Ignis, or spend a lot of effort to find practice resources for Ignis that are close to the level of fairy grass.

It is equivalent to taking up his personal time to provide private service to Ignis.

Fortunately, the system solves a large part of the problem.

You Chen first took out a booklet with the words "Five Qi Fire Evil" written on it - yes, it was something adapted from the book "Five Qi Fire Evil".

You Chen said: "This book "Five Qi Fire Evil" is a technique I developed specifically for you. Ignis, your frontal attack ability has reached the peak of the current stage, but if you encounter those top defense spirit masters of the same level as you, your frontal attack ability is not sure whether it can have an absolute advantage. At this time, the Fire Evil that can invade the opponent's body and cause fire poison from the inside can greatly solve this problem."

Looking at Ignis whose eyes lit up, You Chen smiled slightly: "Not only that, the Five-Energy Fire Evil is also a special amplification soul skill for fire attribute soul masters. If my guess is correct, after you perfectly match the red dragon battle body and red dragon battle pattern with it, the power of your fire evil can be further improved. But the application of this aspect depends on your own development. In general, as long as you can successfully integrate it into your system, it is definitely no less than a top-level ten thousand year soul skill!"

Ten thousand years of soul skills!

For Ignis, who currently only has one ten-thousand-year soul skill, this is undoubtedly a huge improvement.

but……

After a brief surprise, Ignis' eyes dimmed.

This "Five Qi Fire Evil" is indeed very good, but it is far from being able to bring her closer to her desired goal of "becoming a strong person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with You Chen."

Especially... not long ago, she had just seen You Chen display his shocking strength that crushed the Earth Fire Dragon!

But Ignis said with gratitude: "Thank you for the gift, Chief!"

But You Chen said faintly: "Ignis, you don't think my wish is worth a technique equivalent to a ten thousand year soul skill?"

Chapter 102: Fulfilling a Wish (Part )

Ignis suddenly looked surprised.

You Chen said calmly, "You are obviously disappointed, but you still pretend to be excited and happy? Ignis, do you think your acting skills can deceive my eyes?"

Ignis blushed when her lie was exposed by You Chen on the spot.

But she couldn't say anything in rebuttal.

She even secretly hated herself for doubting the leader for a moment! How could she forget that the leader had never let her down!

"The Five Fire Spirits is just an extra. This guy is the real protagonist."

You Chen did not try to comfort Ignis, but directly threw out a pitch-black booklet.

Ignis, who was still feeling embarrassed, reacted quickly and took it in a panic. After taking a closer look, she couldn't help but mutter the name on the cover: "Divine Elephant... Prison-Suppressing Power?"

Out of curiosity, Ignis put down the book and glanced at the introduction of the technique, and his eyes widened instantly!

She exclaimed in surprise: "Is this a physical training method that can directly reach the Titled Douluo level!?"

Ignis looked up suddenly, unable to hide the shock in her eyes.

Having experienced dozens of missions, big and small, as a beast soldier, Ignis is no longer the little girl who didn't even know all the common sense of the continent a few years ago.

Although he is not a beast user who is directly responsible for intelligence work, as a senior beast soldier, Ignis is inevitably exposed to a large amount of intelligence information.

But after searching the entire continent, I have never heard of any books on body-building methods.

The most famous body-refining method in the entire Douluo is the Chaos Cloak Hammer Method of the Haotian Sect. In fact, this Chaos Cloak Hammer Method cannot be strictly speaking called a body-refining method, but a hammer method. Body-refining is just a side effect of practicing the hammer method!

Most of the Douluo's body training methods are still through methods such as medicinal baths that use resources to temper the body.

The recipes of medicinal baths may be different, but the methods of absorption are similar, and it cannot be called a body-building exercise.

However, this "Divine Elephant Prison Power" is completely different! Although it still requires cultivation resources, it is mainly based on practice methods. Even if there are no top-notch medicinal resources, you can still improve by eating normally and spending more time practicing.

The most important thing is... it can actually reach the level of Titled Douluo just by cultivating the physical body! ? Even if only the physical body reaches the level of Titled Douluo, it is already very amazing!

"Chief, this is too expensive!"

Ignis felt as if the technique was a little too hot and wanted to hand it back.

This is a completely different concept from the previous soul bones. This is definitely a peerless magical skill that can cause a sensation in the entire continent!

"For you who mainly rely on physical attacks and physical strength, this is the most powerful technique that can help you become stronger. As for the expensive question..."

You Chen rarely showed a trace of speechlessness: "If it is not valuable enough, how can it be worthy of a 'wish'? You know, the resources I provide to the Soul Fighting Beasts, that is, to you, are all the best in the continent. If you don't give out something truly valuable, what's the difference between it and the usual merit rewards?"

The "Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power" that You Chen gave to Ignis was naturally not the complete version. If you had to say it, it was only the "Giant Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power", which was a version that was castrated to only contain the entry-level practice method.

But even so, its value is still beyond ordinary.

Especially for sect forces and national forces, even a magical herb cannot compare to the introductory chapter of "Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power".

"This, this is different!"

Ignis quickly denied it, even anxiously tearing up. She lowered her head and spoke without thinking: "If, if you knew that my wish was to force you, the leader, to take out such a valuable item, I would have known earlier - I would not have made the wish!!!"

Looking at Ignis who seemed to have given up on herself, You Chen knew that it was because he was too important to her, but he did not intend to comfort her. Instead, he asked quietly, "Really? If you are willing to do this, then I can also respect your choice as you wish."

Ignis, who was looking down at the ground, narrowed her eyes.

Give up? Really? This might be the only chance to catch up with the leader!

She had just said "it's better that I didn't make a wish" and regretted having put You Chen in a difficult position, but after just a brief moment, Ignis hesitated again.

She was struggling inside.

After an unknown amount of silence, she finally raised her head with difficulty, looked at You Chen, and said word by word: "I'm sorry, sir, but... what I said just now doesn't count! I don't want to give up!"

As she spoke, she hugged the black secret book tightly in her arms.

You Chen raised his lips and said, "Don't you know how to make your own decisions? Even if you openly regret it in front of me, it seems that you really want to become stronger."

Ignis blushed when she heard that. She just glanced at You Chen with trembling eyes, then lowered her head and stammered without saying anything.

"The Five Fire Qis are a means to make up for you, the Divine Elephant Prison Power is a peerless technique that will help you become stronger, and then... this is the Breath-Suppressing Technique."

Seeing You Chen handing over another book, Ignis' eyes widened: "Chief, how come there is more!?"

You Chen shook his head and said, "The Art of Condensing Breath can not only restrain your Qi, helping you to complete tasks better and increase safety, but also enhance your control over your soul power. Just talking about the latter point, it is a required course for all strong people. Practicing it is equivalent to greatly reducing the time it takes to become a strong person. However, it is not given to you separately."

Different from the "Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power", You Chen directly gave the full version of the "Breath-Containing Art".

Because practicing "The Art of Breath Concentration" alone, even to the peak, can only maximize its functionality, unlike "The Divine Elephant Prison Power" which can directly cultivate a super strong person.

Taking into account the nature of the Soul Fighting Beast's mission, You Chen felt it was necessary to use this method.

However, You Chen still left a "safety" in it. Even if he cultivated to the perfect level, because the route of the exercise was slightly different from the original version, You Chen could still find anyone who approached him with this "Lock the Breath Art".

You Chen paused and continued, "I will leave it to you to judge whether the Soul Fighting Beasts are qualified to learn the "Breath-Gathering Art" and you will teach them. Will you teach them only to a small number of subordinates, or will you teach them regardless of their closeness or ability? Will you teach different degrees of completeness of the "Breath-Gathering Art" according to different levels of trust, or will you treat everyone equally? All of these are left to you to decide. Ignis, this is the first test for you after you take over as the Beast Leader."

After taking the "Breath-Gathering Art", Ignis quickly realized that this was a peerless martial art that was no less powerful than the "Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power" in another sense, so she involuntarily exerted a little more force on the hand holding the "Breath-Gathering Art".

Suddenly, she felt as if there was a heavy burden on her shoulders, which was the pressure of responsibility.

"leader!"

Ignis suddenly raised her head, her eyes regaining the determination she had when the other Soul Fighting Beasts called her "Red Dragon": "Since you said that after becoming the Beast Leader, I can already stand on my own. In that case... this should not be a test, but a mission."

After expressing her "rebellion" to You Chen for the first time and deciding to go back on her word, Ignis felt that something in her heart had quietly changed.

Even though her strength is still not up to standard, but... her status in the organization has indeed risen to the side of the person in front of her.

A great sin called "greed" gradually rose in her heart.

Ignis stretched out her slender red tongue and licked her red lips. She grinned slightly, revealing a charming smile: "So, I want... a reward."

When the seasons change, I just want to lie in bed and not work...

Chapter 103 Ignis: Grace, I am doing something greedy

Facing Ignis's gaze that revealed no disguising her greed and desire, You Chen smiled with interest.

"Aren't you a quick learner? Have you learned to 'take advantage of every opportunity'?"

Hearing the words "pressing on further", Ignis's face suddenly froze. She felt terrified by her own arrogance and presumption. While feeling regret for her own expansion, she quickly lowered her head.

"That's all. I was the one who asked you to exercise your subjective initiative. Do I have to blame you for not doing well enough?"

You Chen smiled slightly and reached out to stroke Ignis's head. As he stroked her, his slender fingers naturally inserted into the ends of her hair. The soft red hair, as if made of the finest silk, flowed freely like water.

"However, Ignis, you must not forget that before you consider the equal status of 'you and me', I am still a strong person who is far stronger than you are now. Before you take the initiative to provoke a strong person who is far stronger than you, you must think clearly about the possible consequences. After all... rules are just rules, and the strong have the power to overturn the table. Okay, let's end the lecture here."

You Chen pulled his hand back, looked at Ignis, whose face was as red as a peach, and smiled: "Then next... as you wish, I will punish you, the naughty little brat who doesn't know the severity of the situation."

You Chen is not a gentleman, so there is no reason for him to refuse the delicious meat that is offered to him by the person who takes the initiative.

Ignis grew a lot that night.

However, You Chen's "sermon" did not make Ignis grow in the direction that You Chen had envisioned after listening to it.

After knowing the "consequences" of provocation, Ignis not only did not choose to restrain herself, but became more and more keen on offending the powerful You Chen.

Sometimes, they would even take the initiative to come to reflect on their mistakes and seek You Chen's "punishment".

But that’s another story.

After spending about a week teaching Ignis hand-in-hand - mainly guiding the practice of three techniques, You Chen left the Soul Fighting Beast's base camp and embarked on the journey back to the Tiandou Empire.

Regarding some affairs of the Soul Fighting Beast Organization, he did intend to delegate power to Ignis for management, just as he had said to Ignis.

Senior beast soldiers all have extensive experience in leading teams, and judging from past records, Ignis has always done a good job.

However, You Chen certainly wouldn't just let go like that.

In order to prevent Ignis from making too many leaps forward due to her lack of experience, he has instructed his chief steward Grace to give Ignis certain support while also observing and examining him.

Once Ignis shows signs of incompetence, You Chen will arrange for Grace to gradually take over most of Ignis's work, allowing Ignis to be a vase with peace of mind.

Grace had always been the hidden leader of the beast masters, and Ignis was the strongest beast soldier. They had to communicate with each other during many missions. From what You Chen had heard from Grace, the relationship between the two had always been good, like sisters. Grace had handed over the power, so even if Ignis knew about it, she wouldn't care too much, because she wasn't someone who cared too much about power.

In short, Ignis will take care of the military affairs, Grace will take care of the literature, and Lin Zhi will take care of the scientific research...

Considering that Soul Fighting Beast no longer needs to expand in the short term, You Chen is very confident about the future development of Soul Fighting Beast.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since You Chen left Notting City.

At the border of the Kingdom of Barak, a dark phantom and a figure with an enchanting face were running at an extremely fast speed. Although the two were running very fast, their faces looked normal, and they were not affected by the high speed at all.

A phantom with his face hidden in the shadows and a man with an enchanting face, this combination is naturally Yue Guan and Gui Mei, the so-called Ju Gui Douluo.

In the world ten thousand years later, the development of soul cores allows soul masters to fly at level 70. But in this era, if you don’t have certain unique skills, you still have to walk on the ground even if you are given a title.

(It is clearly stated that Dugu Bo cannot fly, and it seems that Tang Hao cannot fly either)

Yueguan is such an example. As his good friend, Guimei can fly, but given the relationship between the two, Guimei obviously won't fly in the sky by himself and let his good brother run on the ground alone...

"Old ghost, why do you think the Pope always keeps targeting Master Youchen? And this time he even sent us out. We are Titled Douluo! Even though I admit that the master is very powerful, but... he is only powerful in theory, right? There is no need for us to show up at all?"

"Lao Ju, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, and don't talk about things that you shouldn't discuss. If you know too much, sometimes you won't live long. What we need to do is to finish the work as soon as possible and then find a tavern to have a meal. I heard that the restaurants in Soto City are very good."

"cut."

Yue Guan curled his lips slightly when he heard this, but he also lost interest in the conversation.

But although he didn't say it, he kept making the association in his mind.

You Chen has always maintained a non-confrontational attitude towards the outside world. He is devoted to research but has no pursuit of power. He has always been purely contributing to the Spirit Hall.

Logically speaking, no leader would dislike such research talents.

Even though You Chen had once rejected Bibi Dong's recruitment, normally he wouldn't become completely hostile to her like this.

Bibi Dong did succeed in suppressing You Chen, preventing him from even entering the laboratory. But on the other hand, not everyone praised this in private. Even many people who did not admire You Chen complained about Bibi Dong's practice of suppressing meritorious people.

In fact, Yue Guan could guess some of the reasons.

After all, when You Chen was young, he specially established a good relationship with Yue Guan in order to obtain the illustration of magical herbs.

After knowing that a theoretical master like You Chen was also so interested in flowers and plants, Yue Guan naturally had a good impression of You Chen.

In fact, Yueguan and Guimei’s ninth soul rings were both designed based on Youchen’s opinion.

Before Bibi Dong came on stage, Yue Guan and You Chen had a very good relationship, and even Gui Mei and You Chen could be said to have a relationship that was more than acquaintances but less than friends.
