Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 403 Soul Skill Information and Soul Ring Origin
The following month, the Yin and Yang of Ice and Fire appeared.

The red spider lily, also the flower of the other shore that Han Tao had longed for, finally developed its own intelligence.

Delicate and bright red, it is a lotus in full bloom.

"The other shore flower?"

Han Tao moved closer, patted its flowers and leaves, and called out.

When it gained sentience, the Blue Silver Overlord was already aware of it, so no matter how it tried to conceal it, it could not hide it from his eyes.

"Blue Silver Overlord?"

Its tone is very delicate, like a shy girl.

Walking slowly up, Ah Yin looked down at its body, her nose twitching slightly.

A faint scent of incense wafted through the air.

Q: "The legendary spider lily, the blue silver grass that evolved from snake venom?"

It trembled its petals and listened quietly to the sounds around it. After a while, it finally focused its attention on Ah Yin.

The defiant reply: "No! That's not how it is."

"Snake venom only led me down the path of the red spider lily, but my next evolutionary path no longer requires snake venom."

Snake venom is the process of its formation.

But future evolution will no longer need it.

Stroking his chin, Han Tao thought to himself, "Hmm, being able to say these things, he must be considered quite talented within the clan?"

"Perhaps we could prioritize some resources?"

It's no wonder Han Tao cherishes it; there are simply too few talented individuals within the Blue Silver Clan.

Ah Yin barely qualifies as one, and Blue Silver King is half a coin, but it betrayed its clan. The remaining Wind Whisper Grass and Sun and Moon Inlaid are barely passable.

I took out the ladle, poured some spring water on it, and then focused my attention back on the main topic.

"Now that it has awakened its intelligence, it must already know the information about the soul skills born from the tempering of intelligence, right?"

"Of course!"

Suddenly, it stretched out its flowering leaves.

Suddenly, a vine coiled up and climbed toward the spring next door.

"Blue and silver entanglement?"

"Don't tell me that the soul skill information honed by ten thousand years of spiritual intelligence is Blue Silver Entanglement?"

Thinking of this, Han Tao immediately became nervous.

Ah Yin chuckled: "Entangling is the Blue Silver Grass's instinct. If I'm not mistaken, its soul skill should be snake venom?"

His expression was sarcastic, clearly indicating that he had nothing nice to say.

"I've eliminated snake venom."

"During the tempering of my spiritual intelligence, I sensed the will of the ruler, and therefore the soul skill I transformed into is the answer you sought: a clone-type soul skill!"

"A wise choice!" Han Tao exclaimed.

If this task were entrusted to the Blue Silver King, it would surely fear its own death and devise some bizarre soul skill, such as snake venom or Blue Silver Entanglement.

In an attempt to avoid killing it, he failed to realize that by refuting the will of the ruler, he had already declared death.

"The plan is now complete!"

1. Use the essence of the Blue Silver Clan again—spiritual bond—to obtain information about the "clone-type" soul skills.

2. Inscribe the Soul Skill information on the sixth Soul Ring.

The soul skill information recorded inside the soul ring has changed from "Evil Eye Tentacles" to "Martial Soul Clone".

The spirit ring remained transparent because it contained no primordial power.

Soul Ring Structure: 99999 Years Limited
3. Infuse the Blue Silver Essence into the Soul Ring.

4. Activate the soul rings and unleash soul skills.

Problems arose as well: the structure, origin, and soul skill information were all ready, but the soul skills did not respond.

"Failed?"

"why?"

Han Tao looked confused.

Han Tao glanced at Ah Yin and saw her blank expression, realizing that she didn't know the answer. So he went to the two advisors.

Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling.

"The soul skill failed?"

"No rush, I'll show you something good."

A faint smile appeared on Ning Rongrong's face, her ears turning bright red, as if she had eaten twenty tons of whale glue.

She pulled Han Tao along to the swing she had built.

Located at the center of the Yin-Yang duality of ice and fire, it sways with the wind and gravity, drifting from above the fire spring to above the ice spring.

"The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire gives birth to extremely hot and cold energies, and the center is where the two merge."

The lowest point of the swing is just enough for your toes to splash up a pool of water, and the middle of the pool is safe. "Hmm, Ning Rongrong, you do have an idea."

Han Tao gave her a small compliment, not daring to say more, for fear that she would become arrogant.

Then, she brought the topic back: "However, I'm more concerned about my soul skills now."

"A Martial Soul Avatar can help a Soul Master gain an additional rank; it is extremely, extremely, extremely important!"

She rolled her eyes.

After a moment's thought, the answer was clear: "Soul skills that create Martial Soul clones can only be created by Soul Beasts possessing the characteristics of ghosts, shadows, and the netherworld. Do you understand?"

Han Tao replied, "Hmm, and then?"

"I have no idea what you were thinking. Using the Blue Silver Origin to infuse a Soul Ring, if that Soul Skill were usable, why go through the complicated process of evolving the Other Shore Flower?"

"Mind your manners!" Ning Fengzhi emphasized.

Han Tao clearly didn't care about Rongrong's tone, but focused more on extracting the content of her words.

The question was: "Can't we use the Blue Silver Origin?"

"Ha, you're dreaming!" she scoffed dismissively.

"You want both the Origin Soul Ring and the Martial Soul Avatar? Oh, you want all the good things in the world for yourself? What a joke!"

Han Tao nodded, understanding what she meant.

Once again, the Blue Silver Overlord was brought out, and guided by will, the primal power of the sixth soul ring was extracted.

"Construct Soul Skill: Martial Soul Clone".

"Not only is the soul skill record of the other shore flower needed, but also the martial soul origin from the characteristics of shadow, shadow, ghost, and netherworld as the basis for driving soul power."

Of course, this only applies to Han Tao.

For a certain chosen one, all he needs to do, under his grandfather's arrangement, is find an impossible "Shadow Stone Monster" and make it sacrifice itself.

Of course, if you kill the other shore flower directly, your seventh soul ring will definitely be able to create a "martial soul clone".

However, Han Tao's seventh soul ring must be "Martial Soul True Body," and no other soul skill is allowed to occupy the position of Martial Soul True Body.

"Tang Chen".

Han Tao clenched his fingers tightly.

"The Soul Master who created the Soul Ring Detonation Technique must have mastered the essence of Soul Rings and understood the operating rules of Soul Rings."

"Based on the worst-case scenario."

Suppose Han Tao is now traveling to the Heavenly Dou Empire to purchase a soul beast with the characteristics of the Netherworld and the Ghost.

Perhaps this is exactly what he wanted.

“Sending other personnel to purchase such soul beasts will inevitably be suppressed by single-attribute families.”

"If I go alone, I will be surrounded and killed by Tang Chen."

Tell me about the Martial Soul Clone, and I'll know what I need next.

In some inconspicuous, ordinary place, a deadly trap was formed at just the right moment.

"That's quite a method!"

"However, compared to the sharpness and brilliance of destiny, it is ultimately slightly lacking."

Han Tao gave a light laugh.

He himself was a powerful figure who had risen from the ashes of fate; in comparison, Tang Chen's methods seemed superficial.

Perhaps it was because it suddenly remembered something.
Adhering to the principle of taking everything, whether there was any or not, Han Tao entered the newly built patriarch's mansion.

"master!"

Ning Fengzhi turned around and asked, "Han Tao, what's up?"

“I remember you once bought a Ghost Cat in Desert Camouflage. Now my experiment may need to be tested.”

"It might work, but it's not necessarily going to work!"

With a casual gesture, I pointed to the orange cat curled up in a circle: "It's over there!"

Han Tao stepped forward and touched its body.

"The origin of the earth element."

“It’s not that I want shadows, gloom, ghosts, or the underworld, so it’s useless.”

He finally shook his head.

There aren't that many coincidences in the world, especially when it comes to oneself.

Han Tao set his sights on his next target, Zhu Zhuqing of the Star Luo Empire, who was certain to possess the essence of the Netherworld Cat.

"How is your martial spirit recovering?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Han Tao asked.

In order to acquire the unique characteristics of the Lone Bamboo, the Netherworld Cat degenerates into a common "cat," an ordinary martial soul with a growth base of 0.5.

Having acquired all the traits, the natural thing to do is to find a way to re-evolve the martial soul back to its original form. It has now evolved into a "spirit cat" with a growth base of 0.6.
