Douluo: I am a biologist, awakening the weapon spirit?

Chapter 191 Narudo and Sasgei (Fog)
As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, the Dark Soul Cat started meowing in dissatisfaction.

Clearly, it was very dissatisfied with such a perfunctory name.

"Don't you like the name Xiao Hei?" Chen Feng asked.

"Meow!"

Chen Feng sensed the Dark Soul Cat's resistance and began to think of a proper name.

"We met you at dawn, so how about you be called Dawn?"
"Or we can name you according to your habits. You like to move around in the dark, so we can call you Nightmare. Which name do you prefer? If you like the first one, call it once; if you like the second one, call it twice."

"Meow~"

"First?"

Dark Soul Cat nodded.

"It seems that even though you walk in the darkness, you still yearn for the light in your heart," Chen Feng joked, but Dark Soul Cat didn't respond.

The Illusionary Demon Tree had no objection to its new name. It murmured the words "Formless" softly, as if trying to memorize its new name.

The night passed quickly, and with the company of the two new members in the team, everyone spent the night without any major incidents.

Zhu Zhuqing woke up once in the middle of the night, but she was still not in good condition.

However, she was able to eat by now, so Chen Feng fed her a few pieces of Oscar's recovery tofu, gave her some water, and then put her back to sleep.

By the next day, Zhu Zhuqing was able to get up and walk, no longer as weak as she had been the day before.

Chen Feng naturally gave her a very serious critique of her risky actions, and Zhu Zhuqing promised never to do it again.

However, Chen Feng knew very well that the so-called "never doing it again next time" was no different from "daring to do it again next time."

To put it bluntly, no one wants to waste their talent. When the opportunity arises, they want to strive on the path of cultivation, which is perfectly normal and no one can criticize them.

Including Chen Feng himself, although he likes to make more preparations before things happen, he will not back down when it is time to go all out.

Of course, as a close friend, one should still say what needs to be said, so that at least one can be a little more rational and not gamble with one's life when there is no chance of winning.

However, Zhu Zhuqing's adventure was still worthwhile, as the ten-thousand-year soul skill she obtained completely solved her problem of being dependent on a specific location.

Just as Chen Feng had predicted, this soul skill was capable of creating dark areas.

The key lies in the size of this dark area. Based on what Zhu Zhuqing showed, Chen Feng estimated that the diameter of this dark area was about thirty meters.

If it were a team battle on the Soul Arena, this dark area would cover more than half of the arena's area.

If it is a battle arena for singles or twos, then this dark area can cover the entire arena.

The dark area lasts for about thirty breaths, which is ample time for an assassin to approach the enemy and launch an assassination from the shadows.

With her fourth soul skill, Zhu Zhuqing's threat level has more than doubled compared to before.

In the early morning, after everyone had packed up their belongings at the camp, they set off with the Illusionary Demon Tree Wuxiang.

The path that Wuxiang took was not entirely in the direction that everyone came from, but was slightly off course.

This piqued Chen Feng's curiosity, and he asked:

"Isn't the place where your true form is located somewhere we experienced on our way here?"

“No,” Wuxiang said.

"Then how did you find us?"

"To split, to explore, to encounter."

"I see." Chen Feng understood.

The Illusionary Demon Tree, Wuxiang, usually splits into offspring to explore, and during this process, it encountered Chenfeng and his group.

Perhaps at the beginning, Wuxiang only regarded them as learning objects, wanting to improve his own wisdom by imitating human behavior.

However, the Ring-Turning Law used by Zhu Zhuqing later completely piqued its interest, leading it to make the decision to actively contact this group of humans after careful consideration.

“Speaking of which, Wuxiang, could you change your appearance?” Ma Hongjun couldn’t help but ask.

Wu Xiang still retains Ma Hongjun's appearance, which makes Ma Hongjun feel extremely uneasy.

Wuxiang looked at the others, and its appearance gradually began to change. In no time, it had transformed into a completely different creature.

Now it's the Oscars.

"No, stop using our faces all the time, it looks really weird." Oscar was also a little numb, watching someone walking around with his face on their person, it was a really hard feeling to describe.

Especially when the other person's expression isn't very lively, it makes you feel even more uneasy.

“Imitation, need, object.” Wuxiang adjusted its appearance again. This time, it didn’t use anyone’s face, but directly revealed the true form of a wooden figure.

Calling him a wooden figure is a bit of an understatement; describing him as a tree figure would be more apt.

It was not much different from the tree-like beings in fantasy stories. Its walking posture was slightly awkward, but under the cover of the previous illusion, no one noticed that something was wrong.

"If you don't have someone to imitate, can't you mimic a human appearance?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

"I don't understand." Wu Xiang was somewhat confused.

It's not that I can't understand, but that I don't know.

Chen Feng pondered for a moment and said:
"I think you need to create a true image of yourself, which is good for your self-awareness and also helps your wisdom to grow."

As intelligent life forms, the most crucial thing is to recognize what "I" am.

Although Wuxiang's mimicry ability is very strong, if it continues to simply copy the appearance of others without having its own true form, Chenfeng worries that it will become confused in the long run and may even lose sight of its own identity.

"I... don't know how." Wu Xiang looked at Chen Feng in confusion, clearly unsure of how to proceed.

"Why don't you combine the looks of all of us?" Oscar suggested.

"What would that be like?" Dai Mubai couldn't imagine it. "By the way, does Wuxiang have a gender?"

“A male plant,” Wuxiang said.

Chen Feng stroked his chin. "Roughly, what human stage does your age correspond to within your race?"

"A toddler?" Wu Xiang said uncertainly.

"Girl is a bit of an exaggeration. Let's give him the appearance of a teenager, a full head of white hair, and red eyes. Make his features more delicate and refined. That would look pretty good," Chen Feng suggested.

“Hmm…” Wu Xiang fell into deep thought.

Among the crowd, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have a tacit understanding, exchanging a glance, both looking somewhat worried.

The group followed Wuxiang for most of the day. Since they didn't need to search for soul beasts this time, the journey was faster than the way they came. By evening, they arrived at Wuxiang's true form.

"Why can't I see your real body?" Ma Hongjun asked, looking around.

The scenery here is no different from other places; you can't see any so-called Illusion Tree at all.

"Is it disguised?" Chen Feng asked.

Tang San used his Purple Demon Eye to look around and pointed to an ordinary-looking tree.

"It's this one."

As soon as he finished speaking, the appearance of the big tree began to change, transforming into a strange tree species with silver-white lines on its branches. These silver-white lines even made people feel dizzy.

"So this is the Illusion Tree. It really does feel magical." Oscar shook his head.

"Stare, dizzy, it's about to change." Wuxiang said this, and then the Illusionary Demon Tree in front of him returned to its previous ordinary appearance.

Chen Feng pinched the bridge of his nose and said:

"Wu Xiang, would you like to come back to the academy with us first, or do the Ring Expansion here first?"

Last night, Tang San had already discussed the matter of ring engraving with Wu Xiang. Wu Xiang himself had also witnessed the entire process of Dark Soul Cat engraving the ring and knew that there would be no danger.

“Expand the ring,” Wuxiang said.

"Let's begin now," Tang San nodded and said.

With Zhu Zhuqing's experience, the Tuohuan method was further improved, and the energy from weak to strong allows people to persist for longer.

And these "some" things can sometimes bring about a qualitative change.

Just like yesterday, Tang San's new spirit ring also went through the process of changing from yellow to purple.

As the spirit ring gradually turned black, everyone tensed up; this was the crucial moment.

Like Zhu Zhuqing yesterday, Tang San also showed a pained expression, but due to his strong physique brought about by his abundant life force, Tang San's condition seemed to be better than Zhu Zhuqing's.

However, when the spirit ring turned from purple to black, Tang San still coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he persisted for a little while before finally condensing the ring.

When the four spirit rings rose from Tang San's feet, it meant that he had become a spirit master at the Spirit Sect level.

"So, Little San, what soul skill did you acquire?" Dai Mubai asked curiously.

"Let me show you." Tang San wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Although he was injured when absorbing the spirit ring, he was now fine because of his strong recovery ability.

Tang San walked to a relatively open area in the forest and then summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Several thick Blue Silver Grasses grew from the ground and began to intertwine.

In no time, a humanoid figure made of blue silver grass appeared.

The next moment, the blue silver grass humanoid transformed into Tang San's appearance.

"Wow, a clone technique." Chen Feng raised his eyebrows. "But the speed of these clones seems a bit unsatisfactory."

"Actually, it can be done very quickly. I'm just showing you." As soon as Tang San finished speaking, another version of himself grew out of the ground, taking less than three seconds in total.

"Do these, uh, clones have any fighting ability?" the master asked a crucial question.

"Yes, they can fight like me, but they can't use soul skills." Tang San controlled his two clones to perform a set of punches on the spot.

"This soul skill suits you very well, Xiao San," Chen Feng commented.

Compared to other Douluo Continent characters, Tang San's biggest advantage is that he possesses innate martial arts skills and does not rely entirely on soul skills in combat.

This allows abilities like creating clones to be very effective in his hands, especially when these clones are combat-capable and quite strong.

After all, it was an avatar made of Blue Silver Grass.

In addition, the clones can increase the attack frequency of hidden weapons, so the effect of one person throwing a hidden weapon is naturally different from that of three people throwing hidden weapons.

"By the way, can this clone use a soul tool?" Chen Feng suddenly asked.

Tang San understood his meaning and immediately took the Jade Snow Ice from his hand and handed it to a clone. Then, in full view of everyone, the clone took out a willow leaf knife from the Jade Snow Ice.

"My God!" Bai Chenxiang's eyes widened immediately. She had now realized the significance of the clone soul skill for Tang San.

Tang San himself was incredibly excited, and he looked at Chen Feng and said sincerely:

"Thank you, Xiaofeng. The path you pointed me to is perfect for me."

"Why are we talking about this?" Chen Feng waved his hand with a smile.

To be honest, he suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

His strong vitality and ability to create clones reminded him of a hot-blooded blond guy, whose friend happened to like playing with lightning and swordsmanship.

Hmm...it's really strange.

"By the way, how many clones can you create at most?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

If we could use the Multiple Wood Clone Technique, wouldn't that be defying the heavens?
"I can have as many as I want, the key is how many I can control," Tang San said to Grandmaster.
"Back then, the master had me practice the technique of distraction control, and this technique is now playing a very important role, allowing me to completely control two clones at the same time. In terms of quantity, the clones are just like myself."

"But if I divide it into more, not only will my soul power be scattered, but my control over it will also be weakened, which would be a loss."

“Two clones are quite good. If used properly, they can be very useful. However, you also need to prepare storage soul tools for them. You know what I mean,” Chen Feng said.

Tang San naturally understood, but the value of the storage soul tool made him somewhat hesitant, and he already knew that hidden weapons couldn't be used in the Soul Master Competition, so there was no need to spend a lot of money to prepare them now.

Instead of having the clones use hidden weapons, let them play with flash seeds.

In the past, Tang San had to control the battlefield from the center, and his backswing also required him to stand at the back, so he never had many opportunities to go forward and fight.

But now it's different. He can leave his clone in the back row to use backflash and provide vision, while he himself goes forward to engage the enemy, because he can see what the clone sees as well.

That's right, Tang San and his clone share the same senses.

Chen Feng was unaware of Tang San's inner thoughts, but he knew that Tang San could plan his fighting style after acquiring the clone soul skill.

In terms of combat, Tang San doesn't require much attention.

"By the way, Xiao San, can your clone only take on your own appearance?" Chen Feng asked.

"Actually, I can also transform into other people." Tang San said as he transformed one of his clones into the appearance of Chen Feng.

"But it feels a little strange."

"It is quite strange," Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong said in unison.
