Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

"Wait, are you saying that you can have spirit rings even without spirit skills? Is that even possible?"

Even a divinely bestowed spirit ring has spirit skills. Is there really such a thing as a blank spirit ring in this world?

"How should I put it?" Xiao Wu scratched her head. "Well... there's a sequence to the formation of soul skills and soul rings, you should understand, right?"

"Of course." Chen Feng nodded. "Then the spirit ring should be formed first, and then the spirit skill should appear, right?"

"Yes, first enhance the special qualities of your own soul power to condense the outer shell of the soul ring, but at this time the soul ring is empty, so you need to copy it from the target soul beast, how should I put it?" Xiao Wu said somewhat uncertainly.

"Copy?" Chen Feng frowned. "Could you explain the process in detail?"

Xiao Wu looked somewhat embarrassed. "It's just... I don't know how to explain it to you. It's something like instinct, like how you, cough, I mean, we humans are born with the ability to use our hands to pick things up. It's hard to explain the principle behind this kind of thing."

Chen Feng ignored Xiao Wu's slip of the tongue and continued to ask:

"Can you describe the general process of self-condensing soul rings? It's similar to the process of opening your palm, gripping the object, and then picking it up when you use your hand to pick it up."

Xiao Wu blinked and said:

"Uh... I need to see the target soul beast first, sense a certain circuit of soul power running in its body, and then generate the same circuit in the soul ring. That's roughly the process."

She twisted her fingers, a little embarrassed, "I've only tried it once, so I can't say much about it."

Chen Feng sighed with some regret. He was right. Xiao Wu really couldn't offer much experience in self-condensing soul rings; she was still too young.

But there was no other way; Xiao Wu was the only living soul beast-turned-human, and Chen Feng could only rely on her.

"Xiao Wu, next time I hope you can really feel it. I need the most detailed experience possible."

"Mm." Xiao Wu nodded seriously.

She knew this matter was of great significance, so she dared not be ambiguous about it in the slightest.

"If you can successfully research and develop a self-condensing soul ring that humans can also use, will soul masters no longer need to kill soul beasts to advance?" Xiao Wu asked hopefully.

But Chen Feng shattered her hopes, saying:

"No, if Soul Masters no longer rely on Soul Beasts for advancement, then there is a high possibility that some people will slaughter Soul Beasts indiscriminately to obtain Soul Bones, and the situation will become even worse. Therefore, we want Soul Masters to advance without killing Soul Beasts, but not without relying on Soul Beasts."

Somewhere in the academy, Tang Hao, who had just arrived, twitched his ears. "Why are these two kids talking about this kind of thing? What happened?"

Because there's no need to maintain a high level of vigilance in the city, he went to buy alcohol earlier and therefore didn't know what Chen Feng and Xiao Wu had been talking about.

But the current content is enough to make Tang Hao care, after all, he once lost his beloved Ah Yin because of things like spirit rings and spirit bones.

Tang Hao listened attentively, while Xiao Wu, on the other side, widened her eyes upon hearing Chen Feng's words.

"Then is everything we've done even meaningful?"

Chen Feng smiled slightly, "Of course it's meaningful. Have you forgotten what I just said? We can't let a Soul Master's advancement be completely independent of Soul Beasts."

"From what you just said, a Soul Master's Soul Skills must require a Soul Beast, which meets the requirements, doesn't it?"

"Oh right," Xiao Wu suddenly realized, "Even if I can condense a soul ring myself, I still need a living soul beast."

Chen Feng nodded. "That's right. In this world, soul masters and soul beasts cannot be separated. Whether it's killing a soul beast to absorb a soul ring or condensing a soul ring on your own, the participation of a soul beast is indispensable."

"So it depends on the results of our next research, and the new order established based on those results after we succeed."

"A new, new order?" Xiao Wu was somewhat taken aback; she hadn't expected the topic to suddenly escalate to such a grand level.

But Chen Feng didn't delve into that topic; instead, he brought up something else.

"Speaking of which, if the main difference between soul beasts and humans lies in the different characteristics of their soul power, then is it possible for soul beasts to completely disguise their aura as that of humans through some means?"

"Can it really be done?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise.

Chen Feng chuckled and said, "I'm not a soul beast, how would I know if I could do it? But I think there's hope, as long as the soul beast's control over its soul power is strong enough."

Just like the mythical beast in Douluo Continent II that transformed into human form and ran to Shrek Academy, repeatedly jumping around in front of a group of Title Douluos without being discovered, it shows that such a method of concealing one's aura should exist.

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Xiao Wu said confidently:

"I'm sure I'll be fine with that. I have excellent control over my soul power. Just tell me what to do."

Chen Feng thought for a moment, then summoned the Tai Chi Bagua Sword and said:

"Come and feel my soul power, and see if you can imitate the characteristics of my soul power."

"Okay." Xiao Wu didn't hesitate. After her martial soul was activated, she reached out and grabbed Chen Feng's wrist, closed her eyes and began to sense it.

After a while, Xiao Wu's brows gradually furrowed, and her complexion became somewhat unpleasant.

She opened her eyes, pursed her lips, and said:

"I can't. I can vaguely sense something different in your soul power, but I can't grasp that difference."

Chen Feng nodded, seemingly unsurprised.

There aren't many soul beasts that explicitly displayed a hidden aura in the original work; only Wang Qiu'er from Douluo Continent II and Gu Yuena from Douluo Continent III.

One of them is an imperial auspicious beast, and the other is the ancestor of soul beasts. What they can do, Xiao Wu may not be able to do.

"It's okay, we can take it slow," Chen Feng comforted him.

Xiao Wu was somewhat frustrated. She had finally found hope in concealing her presence, but failed because of her own lack of ability, which made her feel very upset.

Seeing that her complexion was not good, Chen Feng asked:

"Were you trying to completely imitate my soul power just now?"

“Yes, what else?” Xiao Wu asked in confusion.

Chen Feng pondered for a moment and said:

"Have you ever thought about imitating only a part? For example, the surface of the body. That might work, and it would definitely be easier to imitate."

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Xiao Wu paused for a moment, clenched her fist, and suddenly realized:

"Right, I should start with something simple. I can't start with something too difficult. Let's try again."

Xiao Wu grabbed Chen Feng's wrist again, and after a while, her expression turned mournful.

"It still doesn't work. I feel that the difference between my soul power and yours is too great, and I can't imitate it."

"The difference is too big?"

Xiao Wu nodded. "Yes, it's like I want to reach the other side of a river, but the river is too wide for me to cross."

"Can we swim across?" Chen Feng asked casually.

"Sure," Xiao Wu said somewhat dejectedly, "I can cultivate until I reach the Soul Saint level."

"That's true." Chen Feng nodded.

Xiao Wu looked at him and asked:

"By the way... how exactly did you find out?"

"What did you find?" Chen Feng was a little confused.

"Me?" Xiao Wu said, hands on her hips.

She couldn't understand this at all. It was clearly agreed that only Soul Masters at the Soul Douluo level or above could discover it. How did Chen Feng discover it?

"Oh, you're asking about that?" Chen Feng said, his expression unchanged.

"Have you forgotten? My martial soul has the ability to sense things, and the sense you give me is different from everyone else I've ever met. Instead, it's the same as what we encountered when we went to the Sand Gold Valley... You understand?"

"Especially after I obtained my first spirit ring, this feeling became even clearer. At that time, I knew you had a secret. In order to test it out, I refused Brother Dai's help, and you indeed agreed."

“That night I tested you again, and you did go out. Afterwards, I consulted some books in the sect’s library and finally understood your situation.”

"So that's how it is. How come there are such martial souls in the world?" Xiao Wu felt that fate had played a huge joke on her.

Fortunately, Chen Feng, who possessed this martial spirit, had no ill intentions towards her; otherwise, her death would have been too unjust.

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"Xiao Feng, now that you know all this, don't you have any thoughts?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "We're friends, aren't we?"

Just then, Tang San arrived. "Huh? What are you all doing?"

"I'm doing an experiment," Chen Feng replied casually.

His gaze swept over Tang San's blue hair, and he suddenly thought of something.

That is, since Tang San possesses half of a soul beast's bloodline, wouldn't it be easier for Xiao Wu to imitate his soul power frequency?

Looking at Tang San, Chen Feng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He originally wanted Xiao Wu to try imitating Tang San's soul power, but suddenly realized that this was a bit difficult to say.

In the original novel, Tang San didn't care when he discovered Xiao Wu's soul beast identity because the two of them had already built a strong bond.

Chen Feng wasn't really sure how Tang San would react now that he knew Xiao Wu's soul beast identity.

But to Chen Feng's surprise, Xiao Wu spoke up directly.

"Hey, Little San, quickly summon your martial spirit, I need to do an experiment."

"What kind of experiment?" Tang San asked, summoning his Blue Silver Grass.

"You'll find out soon enough." Xiao Wu grabbed Tang San's wrist and closed her eyes.

After a while, Xiao Wu's ears began to slowly grow longer, with soft white fur standing up from the sides of her head, and a yellow spirit ring rose from beneath her feet.

She entered a state of martial spirit possession.

At the same time, Tang San seemed to sense something and closed his eyes, and the Blue Silver Grass around him began to grow wildly.

At the same time, the phantom images of their respective martial souls appeared above their heads, and the phantom of the Blue Silver Grass slowly moved towards the phantom of the Soft Bone Rabbit.

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill!? Chen Feng took two steps back, looking at this scene in astonishment.

He just said it casually at the time, but now it can actually form a martial soul fusion skill?

Moreover, this spirit fusion skill was actually based on Xiao Wu. He thought that even if a spirit fusion skill was formed, it should be based on Tang San.

Tang Hao, on the other side, was also attracted by the soul power fluctuations and came directly to the grove, but he concealed his aura so that the children would not find him.

This little rabbit can actually form a martial soul fusion skill with Xiao San? That's really strange. Could it be because rabbits eat grass? Tang Hao looked at this scene in astonishment.

However, what neither Chen Feng nor Tang Hao expected was that just as the phantom of the Blue Silver Grass was about to drift between Tang San and Xiao Wu and get a certain distance away from the phantom of the Soft Bone Rabbit, the phantom of the Blue Silver Grass quietly shattered.

Tang San and Xiao Wu's bodies went limp at the same time, and they both collapsed weakly to the ground.

Chen Feng quickly stepped forward to help the two of them up and gently placed them on the ground. Tang Hao sighed regretfully and left quietly.

Not long after, Tang San opened his eyes first. He saw Xiao Wu unconscious opposite him and quickly summoned Blue Silver Grass, wrapping it around Xiao Wu's wrist.

He fainted because his soul power and physical strength were suddenly exhausted, but because of his first soul ring, he recovered faster than Xiao Wu and woke up first.

"This feeling is really unpleasant." Tang San rubbed his forehead. "What just happened? What exactly were you experimenting with?"

"We...we are experimenting with a martial soul fusion technique." Chen Feng quickly came up with a good excuse.

"A spirit fusion skill? Like the one Brother Dai and Zhu Zhuqing had before?" Tang San asked in confusion.

“That’s right, I was just experimenting with this with Xiao Wu, but we didn’t succeed,” Chen Feng nodded and said.

"So does this mean I've failed?" Tang San asked.

“No, Xiao Wu and I didn’t cause any abnormal phenomena, but you and Xiao Wu did exhibit unusual phenomena, which is different,” Chen Feng said, shaking his head.

Tang San asked in surprise, "Are we experiencing something strange? What kind of strange phenomenon?"

Chen Feng told him what he had just seen, and Xiao Wu woke up during the process.

"Since the two of you were able to cause such a phenomenon, it means that your martial souls can resonate. It's just that you failed halfway due to some insufficient conditions. As long as we find the key to the failure, we might be able to successfully enable you to form a martial soul fusion skill."

Chen Feng winked at Xiao Wu, "This means our Martial Soul Fusion Technique experiment is a success."

Xiao Wu understood his meaning and followed up with his question:

"So what is this key point?"

Chen Feng recalled the scene he had just witnessed and said somewhat uncertainly:

"Just now, Xiao San's martial soul phantom shattered first. Could it be because Xiao San's martial soul was of insufficient quality?"

"It's really possible!" Xiao Wu clapped her hands. "If Xiao San's martial soul evolves into the Blue Silver King, then our martial soul fusion skill can be completed, right?"
