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

"Did you know that after becoming a Soul Master, you can receive a subsidy from the Spirit Hall, which includes a gold soul coin?"

"One gold soul coin!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. "I'm going to get a soul ring right now!"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Chen Feng quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Wu. "Have you decided which soul skill you want to acquire?"

"Of course I've thought it through. I'm going to make the Waist Bow my first soul skill, and I've already decided on the target soul beast," Xiao Wu said.

After saying that, she excitedly explained the effects of the "lumbar arch".

Why is Chapter 9 so obsessed with that groin?

After hearing Xiao Wu's words, Chen Feng looked surprised and stared at her with a strange gaze.

Tang San, who was behind him, also frowned. He had recently discussed the development direction of his martial soul with Chen Feng and was extremely convinced of Chen Feng's eight-character principle of "strengthening the foundation and cultivating the source, giving full play to strengths and avoiding weaknesses".

As for the "waist bow" soul skill that Xiao Wu mentioned, he found its meaning rather unclear.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiao Wu looked at Chen Feng with displeasure.

She always felt that Chen Feng was looking at her like she was an idiot.

Xiao Wu's feeling was indeed correct; Chen Feng truly thought she was a fool at that moment.

In fact, Chen Feng never understood why Xiao Wu was so obsessed with that waist-bow.

Not only her, but Jiang Nannan, ten thousand years later, also clung to this broken skill.

It is easy to imagine how many more Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Masters have been harmed in the past ten thousand years.

"Why, uh, do you want to choose the waist bow as your first soul skill?" Chen Feng asked, trying to keep his tone as neutral as possible.

"Because the waist bow is the natural ability of the Soft Bone Rabbit. Oh, right, the Soft Bone Rabbit is the name of my martial soul," Xiao Wu said matter-of-factly.

"So you only want to be a soft-boned rabbit?" Chen Feng continued to ask.

These words made Xiao Wu's heart skip a beat, and Tang San behind her also felt something was strange.

Shouldn't it be "I just want to be a Soft-Boned Rabbit Soul Master"? Why is it "I just want to be a Soft-Boned Rabbit"?

Meanwhile, in a deserted grove of trees outside the dormitory, Tang Hao, who was drinking from a flask of wine, suddenly looked towards the dormitory.

"This kid figured it out? Impossible. Only Soul Masters at the Soul Douluo level or above could see that. Could it just be a simple slip of the tongue?" Tang Hao's gaze was somewhat doubtful.

He previously believed that Chen Feng was a genius, who determined A Yin's path based solely on theoretical analysis.

But now, if Chen Feng's words weren't a slip of the tongue but truly meant something, then this kid is really quite extraordinary.

It must have been a slip of the tongue, otherwise this would have been too terrible. Tang Hao thought about it and finally decided that it was just a misunderstanding.

Chen Feng, a mere child who isn't even a Soul Master yet, has no reason to be able to discern the little girl's true form.

In the dormitory, after a moment of panic, Xiao Wu realized that Chen Feng must have just made a slip of the tongue.

She composed herself and asked in return:

What do you mean by that?

"You said that the Waist Bow is the Soft Bone Rabbit's innate ability, so you should choose it as your first soul skill." Chen Feng's expression turned serious. "Then I want to ask you, if you don't choose the Waist Bow as your soul skill, will you never be able to use this ability?"

By the end, Chen Feng's tone had become somewhat stern.

Xiao Wu was stunned when she heard his words.

Yes, my ability to arch my back is a natural talent. Even if I can't use it now because I'm still young, I'll be able to use it sooner or later as I grow.

It seems there's really no need to waste a Soul Skill slot just for the Waist Bow.

"Do you understand? Apart from the Martial Soul True Body, a Soul Master can only have a maximum of eight Soul Skills. Each Soul Skill is extremely important and cannot be wasted in the slightest."

Chen Feng's tone was extremely serious at this moment, "The art of life lies in evolution, and the bestowal of each soul skill may become the key for a martial soul to open the door to evolution."

"Martial Soul...evolution?" Xiao Wu stared blankly at Chen Feng, she hadn't expected this human infant to have such a grand goal.

After stunning the old rabbit with a few words, Chen Feng turned around to see the others' reactions and whether they were shocked by him.

However, apart from Tang San who looked thoughtful, the other children stared at him blankly, clearly not understanding what he had just said.

"Alas, like-minded people are hard to find," Chen Feng sighed and said.

“It’s not good to keep talking here. Let’s go eat first, and we can talk while we eat.”

“But it’s not noon yet, isn’t it a bit early to eat?” Tang San stepped forward and said.

"If we wait too long, there won't be enough people. If we wait too long, it will be inconvenient," Chen Feng said.

With so many people, there's bound to be some bored brats who come looking for trouble with the work-study students.

The punishment was too harsh; I'm afraid it might have hurt the child.

If the lesson is too lenient, it may not be effective.

You know, some naughty kids can be absolutely disgusting.

So, it's best to avoid getting into trouble if possible.

"That's right, let's go eat, I'm hungry too," Xiao Wu muttered, rubbing her stomach.

"Do you have money?" Chen Feng asked her with a smile.

"Uh..." Xiao Wu was stunned, realizing that she was still penniless.

"Alright, this meal is on me. You can pay me back after you receive your subsidies." Chen Feng took the lead and walked out.

He has saved up some pocket money over the years, enough to last him for a while.

"Really? Chenfeng, you're so kind!" Xiaowu cheered and followed after him.

"Call me Brother Feng!"

"I won't call!" Xiao Wu said firmly.

"If you don't call me, I won't give you food."

"Feng, Brother Feng," Xiao Wu uttered in a humiliated voice.

"Speak louder, I can't hear you!"

"Don't go too far!" Xiao Wu said angrily.

Tang San smiled and shook his head, then followed the two people in front of him.

Like Er Kang, Wang Sheng reached out his hand to the three departing students and let out a mournful cry, "We haven't decided who the leader of the dormitory is yet."

……

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, there were indeed very few people to be seen. Apart from the staff at the food serving window, there was only one middle-aged man wearing a knitted hat sitting and eating on the second floor.

Chen Feng and the other two bought some cheap food and found a corner to sit down.

"Brother Feng, since you think I shouldn't choose the Waist Bow as my first Soul Skill, then how should I choose my first Soul Skill?" Xiao Wu asked impatiently as soon as she sat down, picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and started to ask.

"Before answering your question, we first need to understand the essence of your martial spirit," Chen Feng said, munching on a steamed bun as he spoke.

"The essence of a martial soul? Isn't it just the Soft Bone Rabbit?" Xiao Wu thought to herself, "As a soul beast that has transformed into a human, how could I not know the essence of my own martial soul? My martial soul is myself."

"No, your martial soul can't just be the Soft Bone Rabbit, Xiao San, you should know what I mean." Chen Feng said, looking at Tang San beside him.

"Are you saying that the Soft Bone Rabbit isn't strong enough to support innate full soul power? By the way, what kind of soul beast is the Soft Bone Rabbit?" Tang San asked, puzzled.

"The Soft-Boned Rabbit is widely distributed in the Star Dou Great Forest. Although it has a flexible body and is stronger than ordinary rabbits, it is still at the bottom of the food chain," Chen Feng explained.

"I see. Then Xiao Wu, your martial soul shouldn't just be the Soft Bone Rabbit." Tang San nodded.

Chapter 10 Join the glorious evolution, Mai!

“Xiao San is right. The Soft Bone Rabbit can’t possibly support innate full soul power. Either you have more than one martial soul, or…”

Chen Feng gently tapped the table. "Your martial soul is the evolved form of the Soft Bone Rabbit. Perhaps it could be called the Soft Bone Rabbit King?"

"What 'Soft Bone Rabbit King'? That name is awful," Xiao Wu muttered under her breath.

"How about calling it Soft-Boned Rabbit King? It's just a name anyway, as long as you understand what I mean," Chen Feng said casually.

"Then let's keep the Soft Bone Rabbit King. It sounds like a good name." Xiao Wu nodded, approving of the new name the human cub had given her.

"So you only have one martial soul?" Tang San asked from the side.

"Of course, do you have two martial souls?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"Cough, of course not." Tang San denied it outright.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have a good excuse. Since Chen Feng could see from his innate full soul power that he might have two martial souls, perhaps others would be able to see it in the future.

Tang San didn't know how to cover it up at first.

But after witnessing Xiao Wu's situation, he suddenly realized that he could use the reason that "my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is rather special" as a cover for the Clear Sky Hammer.

Perhaps it could be named Blue Silver Grass King? Or Blue Silver Grass Emperor?

Seeing Tang San's thoughtful expression, Chen Feng roughly guessed what he was thinking and said:

"I once heard that leaders would emerge within the Blue Silver Grass clan, and these leader-level Blue Silver Grasses were called Blue Silver Kings."

"Blue Silver King? I see, that's a good name." Tang San nodded in satisfaction; the name Blue Silver King sounded much better than he had imagined.

"What do you mean? I remember you also have innate full soul power. Does that mean your martial soul is also extraordinary?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

“Xiao San’s martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, at least that’s what it looks like,” Chen Feng said.

"Oh, I see. But Xiao San is also born with full soul power, just like me, so his martial soul should be the Blue Silver King, right?" Xiao Wu suddenly realized.

“Yes, only by clearly understanding the essence of a martial spirit can one ensure that they don’t go astray,” Chen Feng said, looking at Xiao Wu.

"Oh dear, I was just careless for a moment," Xiao Wu said, sticking out her tongue sheepishly.

"Hmm~ This 100,000-year-old rabbit is quite good at acting cute," Chen Feng thought to himself, then continued:

"It is very difficult for ordinary Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters to possess innate soul power. Even if they do, it is very low, at most half a level or one level. Under such circumstances, even if they cultivate for a lifetime, they will only reach one or two rings at most, which will not allow the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to undergo any qualitative change. This is also the reason why people in this world have recognized the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul as useless for so many years."

"But I have a hypothesis: if a person with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul adds life-enhancing spirit rings to all of his Blue Silver Grass martial souls, and makes his descendants with Blue Silver Grass martial souls do the same, then after thousands of years, it is very likely that a person with a Blue Silver King martial soul could be artificially created. I think most of the martial soul families on the continent today came about in this way."

This is a conjecture made by Chen Feng based on his knowledge of biological evolution from his previous life, as well as his knowledge of martial spirits in this world.

Targeted breeding is nothing new.

but……

"However, this conjecture would take a lot of time and is basically difficult to verify. But if I could learn about the lineage history of those martial spirit families on the continent, I might be able to confirm whether this conjecture is feasible," Chen Feng said with some regret.

On the second floor, a middle-aged man wearing a knitted hat held a water glass, looking deep in thought.

Outside the cafeteria, Tang Hao frowned, trying to recall the lineage of the Haotian Sect, but found that because he had never been interested in learning about it before, he couldn't remember anything now.

"Forget it, it's not something I should care about." Tang Hao made peace with himself, realizing that he wasn't cut out for it.

Inside the cafeteria, Tang San was greatly surprised after hearing Chen Feng's words. "You actually had such thoughts?"

"It's just a guess," Chen Feng said, shrugging.

"How many years will this take? I'm afraid it will be very difficult for humans to accomplish this," Xiao Wu sighed.

“Yes, short-lived species are just too easy to change.” Chen Feng glanced at Xiao Wu, which startled the old rabbit. “Let’s get back to the main topic.”

"Oh right, we were just talking about how to choose my first soul skill, you completely steered the conversation off-topic." Xiao Wu used a reproachful tone to mask her inner panic.

"Now that your martial soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor, you need to make a choice: continue to walk the path of the Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor safely, or bravely break through your limitations and join the glorious path of evolution." Chen Feng's tone was very solemn at this moment, as he was cosplaying as a mechanical pioneer.

"Of course, I'd choose to join Glorious Evolution! I, Xiaowu, am no pushover!" Xiaowu slammed her hand on the table and declared with boundless pride.

"Hmm? Who are you talking to?" Chen Feng made a faint nasal sound.

"Little Wu, Little Wu, is that alright?" Little Wu cowered in utter humiliation.

Just you wait, after I get my first spirit ring, I'll teach you a lesson. I'll make sure you call me Sister Xiao Wu! The old rabbit thought angrily to himself.

"That's more like it." Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction. It was quite fun to bully this old rabbit.

Tang San found it somewhat amusing, noting that Chen Feng seemed to inexplicably become childish when facing Xiao Wu.

"Oh dear, tell me quickly how I should choose my first soul skill, stop rambling on and on." Xiao Wu was getting impatient.

She was still waiting to collect a gold soul coin as a subsidy.

"Alright, since you've chosen the path of evolution, you must understand the principles of acquiring soul rings that I've summarized: strengthen your foundation and cultivate your strengths while avoiding your weaknesses." Chen Feng finally got to the point.
