Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 77 Age Limit Increase
"A spirit ring that resembles a plant cannot increase the upper limit of Blue Silver Origin, but it can affect the Martial Soul."

The blue silver essence of Blue Silver Grass can only be provided by Blue Silver Grass and its superior soul rings and soul bones.

The most typical example is the spirit ring provided by the Jade Phosphorus Flower, which has a lifespan of up to ten thousand years, but did not provide Han Tao with any Blue Silver Origin.

Not even a tiny bit.

"It's a bit of a pity."

Han Tao felt somewhat regretful.

Although the Blue Silver Origin is no longer the key factor restricting the evolution of a Martial Soul, who would refuse to have more Martial Soul Origins?

Next, Han Tao continuously used his spiritual body to fuse with the soul ring and absorb the same kind of energy from the Bilin Flower in the outside world.

The age limit of the fourth spirit ring is gradually increasing.

13,000 years, 15,000 years, 21,000 years
A month
Two months.
In the third month, Han Tao's progress came to an abrupt halt.

The three-colored Azure Phosphorous Flower Soul Ring is stuck at 49999 years, unable to break through the 50,000-year mark.

There must be a reason for facing difficulties.

Han Tao began to think:
"Why can't it break through 50,000 years?"

He summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and four spirit rings—yellow, white, purple, and black—appeared one after another.

Ignoring the first three spirit rings, he focused all his attention on the fourth spirit ring.

The dark and deep fourth spirit ring condensed spirit power fluctuations far exceeding its own level.

The fusion of his spiritual body with the spirit ring allows Han Tao to perceive the microscopic details inside the spirit ring.

"It doesn't seem to be due to the structure."

Han Tao's third spirit ring is the Blue Silver Grass spirit ring.

The reason why it cannot break through the ten-thousand-year mark is because the soul ring structure does not allow it.

The reason why the Tricolor Phosphorescent Flower spirit ring cannot exceed 50,000 years is not due to the spirit ring's structure, but rather to other reasons.

For some other reason.

He opened the book and began searching for information.

If you can't start with spirit rings, then you can start with spirit beasts.

The growth path of the Phosphorus violaceus is clearly visible.

Phosphorus Flower, Tricolor Phosphorus Flower, Five-Colored Phosphorus Flower, Seven-Character Phosphorus Flower.

These correspond to four levels: thousand-year-old soul beast, ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, fifty-thousand-year-old soul beast, and one hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast.

"The 50,000-year-old Phosphorus Flower is called the Five-Colored Phosphorus Flower."

"From tricolor phosphorus to five-color phosphorus, a kind of transformation will occur."

蜕变
The transformation of soul power quality.
"wrong!"

"The right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor can absorb a 100-year-old Blue Silver Grass soul ring to increase its age."

"If Blue Silver Emperor can do it, why can't Azure Phosphorus Flower?"

Blue Silver Grass and Blue Silver Emperor are from the same source, as are Jade Phosphorus Flower and Five-Colored Jade Phosphorus Flower. There's no reason why one can be used while the other can't.

Therefore, Han Tao integrated his spiritual power into the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Perceive, observe, analyze.

How does the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone transform low-quality soul power into high-quality soul power?

"Hmm, don't understand?"

It's not that I can't understand it at all, it's just that it's hard to comprehend.

The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, from the outside, is just a simple leg bone that exudes a strong soul power fluctuation.

However, from a microscopic perspective, it is a sophisticated and complex machine.

It can absorb external soul power and restore the energy of the soul bone.

It can also absorb blue silver soul rings of the same lineage to extend the lifespan of the soul bone.

Absorbing soul power and generating soul power are two separate areas, with a complex and quantitative change occurring in between.

This complex change is something Han Tao currently finds difficult to understand.

"assimilation."

In Han Tao's understanding, this is the only word to describe it.

"It seems it's not that simple."

"The change in the quality of soul power is also a high-level power, so it's normal that it's hard to understand."

With this in mind, Han Tao paused this part of his research.

The 49999-year-old Jade Phosphorous Soul Ring has far exceeded the absorption age limit of Han Tao's soul power level.

Going further up might pose risks.

"When you are being targeted by fate, you should try your best to avoid risks."

This was recorded in Han Tao's diary.

Then, Han Tao began to unleash his fourth soul skill.

"Blue Silver Poison Barrier!"

Green and blue light intertwined and converged with the air to form a hemisphere, containing the potent toxins within its shape.

Compared to the ten-thousand-year-old Azure Phosphorous Flower Soul Ring, this nearly fifty-thousand-year-old three-colored Azure Phosphorous Flower Soul Ring creates a more powerful poison barrier.

Han Tao began recording the changes in the intensity of the toxic barrier:

The toxin mass is 1.3 times that of the standard. The toxin concentration is 1.4 times that of the standard.

The radius of the poison barrier sphere is 1.4 times.

Soul power consumption increased fivefold.

After repeatedly comparing and noting down the relevant data, Han Tao put away his diary.

"Both intensity and consumption have increased fivefold."

"The nearly 50,000-year-old Blue Silver Poison Barrier allows me to enter the middle layer of Sunset Forest."

"The inner toxins are too terrifying to approach. It may take nearly 100,000 years before we can get a glimpse of them."

The poison barrier created by Han Tao's soul skill can provide immunity to a higher level of Bilin toxin.

The poisonous barrier of Sunset Forest is divided into outer, middle, and inner layers.

The outer layer corresponds to the three-colored phosphorus, and the middle layer corresponds to the five-colored phosphorus, which is half a level higher than Han Tao's blue silver poison barrier.

They are only half a level higher and pose no threat.

The inner circle of Sunset Forest, with its core strengthened by the snow-white swan's kiss, can resist the poison of a Title Douluo.

Fourth Soul Skill, "Blue Silver Poison Barrier!"

Unfurling the Blue Silver Poison Barrier, they steadily made their way towards the middle layer of Sunset Forest, beginning to explore the surrounding terrain and landscape.

"The inner circle of the poisonous barrier in Sunset Forest is about two hundred square kilometers."

"Calculated in a straight line, the distance is less than fifteen kilometers."

After reaching a conclusion, Han Tao returned to his sect.

He already had a corresponding solution in mind.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sect Master's Mansion.

Han Tao knocked on the gate of the sect leader's mansion once again.

This time, Steward Ning did not stop him, but instead brought him inside.

Upon meeting his mentor, Han Tao explained his needs.

"Master, do you have a map of Sunset Forest?"

With the financial resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they certainly have basic materials like maps.

Upon hearing Han Tao's words, Ning Fengzhi rummaged through his drawer for a long time before finally taking out an extremely incomplete map.

"This is too shabby!" Han Tao exclaimed in surprise.

Ning Feng coughed twice.

Then, straightening his expression, he began to speak:

"This incomplete map contains a route to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."

This was the guide he had given Ning Rongrong before. He knew his daughter too well; if the map was too complicated, Rongrong probably wouldn't understand it.

Thinking about this, Ning Fengzhi seemed to feel that it was not quite right.

He took out another complete map and handed it to Han Tao.

"You can compare the two maps yourself."

Han Tao took it; with the route guidance, the success rate of crossing the poisonous barrier would increase significantly.

Having made a general understanding, Han Tao walked out of the sect leader's mansion.

Back in my dorm, I began to think about my strategy.

"Now, to reach the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, all you need to do is pass through the inner circle of the poison barrier."

There are always more ways than difficulties.

"There are three ways to cross the inner circle of the poison barrier."

"The first method is to use the soul skill 'flight' of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone to pass over the poison barrier."

The height of the poison barrier is uncertain, as is whether the upper part of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is surrounded by a poison barrier.

If the project is shrouded in a toxic barrier, it will be put on hold.

There are some risks involved, but it's worth a try.

"The second method is to use cold jade as a material to create armor that covers the whole body, which can also pass through the inner circle of the poison barrier."

Cold jade is a material that can isolate the accumulation of phosphorus poison.

However, the practical problem is more serious: the Jade Frost is not easily deformed, and Soul Masters cannot move inside it.

Moreover, the hardness of cold jade is problematic; once it breaks, it is almost certainly fatal.

"The third method is to travel underground."

This is the method that Han Tao favors the most.

The potent phosphine poison can penetrate underground, but its potency will be weakened.

His Blue Silver Poison Barrier Soul Skill can grant immunity to weakened poison damage.

It's a bit embarrassing, but the risks are manageable.

"It's easy to get lost when traveling underground."

So Han Tao asked Ning Fengzhi for the map.

Without this route, the plan cannot be implemented.
