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

Chapter 88 Conditions for Soul Fusion

"Meet the soul power of my target soul beast? Why do I need to do this?" Tang San asked doubtfully.

Chen Feng explained:
“Because I believe that a soul master obtains a soul ring breakthrough by integrating the soul power with the soul beast within the soul ring, and then improving certain characteristics of his own soul power. So I want you to try and see if you can break through the realm in this way.

"Young plant-type soul beasts have almost no intelligence, only instincts. Your Blue Silver King martial spirit has a breath of life, which makes it more likely to be favored by plant-type soul beasts. I think it would be easier for you to conduct this experiment."

"So that's how it is." Tang San nodded, understanding Chen Feng's idea, "Okay, then I'll give it a try."

After making the experimental plan, Chen Feng, Tang San and Xiao Wu set off for the Gold Sand Valley together.

On the surface, Chen Feng did not ask anyone for help this time, but secretly, Lao Meng was following him, and Tang Hao was escorting him, so Chen Feng did not have to worry about encountering danger in the Sand Gold Valley.

The three of them rented a carriage and arrived at Sand Gold City with ease. After resting in the city for a night, they went directly to the valley.

The first target to look for was naturally the immovable Jadeite Bamboo, and Chen Feng also wanted to verify his guess as soon as possible.

Thanks to the protection of Lao Meng and Tang Hao, the three of them basically did not encounter any danger and found several jade bamboos, the oldest of which was nearly 800 years old.

The Jade Bamboo is a soul beast with little attack ability. Its safety is guarded by a soul beast called the Bamboo Bear.

The bamboo bear looks a bit like the panda on Earth and looks a bit cute. It feeds on the jadeite bamboo, but does not damage the roots of the bamboo, so it does not endanger the life of the bamboo.

Jadeite bamboo grows fast and can provide sufficient food for bamboo bears, so the two form a unique symbiotic relationship.

There were no high-level soul beasts in the Gold Sand Valley, so Lao Meng could deal with them easily. After driving away the bamboo bears, Chen Feng and the other two arrived near the target.

"I'll choose the nearly eight hundred year old Jade Bamboo." Tang San looked at the thick bamboo in front of him that looked as crystal clear as jade and made a decision.

"Then let's do the experiment quickly." Xiao Wu said impatiently.

"Yeah." Tang San nodded, came to the front of the emerald bamboo and sat cross-legged, put his hands on the emerald bamboo, and then closed his eyes.

The Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit spread out around him, emitting the breath of life.

Chen Feng and Xiao Wu waited quietly, while Lao Meng paid attention to the movements around him. He didn't quite understand what the three children were going to do, but he didn't care and just focused on doing his guard duty.

After a while, Tang San frowned and withdrew his hand.

"No, Xiaofeng, I can't merge my soul power with it."

"Unable to blend? Why?" Chen Feng asked in surprise.

Tang San thought for a moment and said:

"When Xiao Wu and I were blending our soul powers, I could clearly feel her active cooperation. It took the combined efforts of both of us to successfully complete the fusion of our soul powers.

"But this Jade Bamboo..."

"But it doesn't have wisdom, so it won't consciously cooperate with you, right?" Chen Feng said with a sigh.

"Yes, I input my soul power into the Jadeite Bamboo, but the Jadeite Bamboo's soul power didn't react at all. It was like a pool of stagnant water. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't merge my soul power with it." Tang San said with some distress.

"Without intelligence..." Chen Feng frowned. "I originally thought that it would be easier to merge soul power with unintelligent plant soul beasts, but unexpectedly it's even more difficult. This is really... Sigh."

Xiao Wu said with some doubt:

"But if we really think about it, doesn't the soul power in the spirit ring lack wisdom? There's no complete soul beast soul in a spirit ring that's been there for hundreds or thousands of years, so why don't we encounter this situation when absorbing a spirit ring?"

Chen Feng pondered for a moment and guessed:
"Could it be because of a problem with the soul power's route?"

"The soul power's route?" Xiao Wu was a little confused.

"This is what I think. The soul power in the human body runs along a certain route, and most soul beasts do the same. Xiao Wu, you should be able to understand it, right? After all, you have also practiced Xuantian Gong." Chen Feng looked at Xiao Wu and said.

Yes, not long after Tang San taught the unique skills in the Xuantian Treasure Record to Chen Feng, he also taught these skills to Xiao Wu.

Compared to the Tang Sect in his previous life, Tang San cherishes his two friends today more.

However, Xiao Wu did not choose to practice all of them, but only practiced the Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow and Xuantian Gong. Xiao Wu was not interested in the others.

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Xiao Wu nodded and said:
"Well, I can understand. The soul power in the soul beast should also follow a certain route. This logic makes sense."

After getting Xiao Wu's confirmation, Chen Feng felt relieved and continued:

"If it follows a certain route, then as long as the soul beast is still alive and doesn't actively mobilize its soul power, it will be difficult for the soul power to leak out. It's like water in a pipe. As long as the pipe is intact, the water won't leak out, and naturally it will be difficult for us to do anything with it."

Tang San understood what he meant, "And when the soul beast dies, it will be like a broken pipe, so we can take the water and use it."

"That's right." Chen Feng nodded, "So if we want to merge our soul power with that of a soul beast, we either have to find a soul beast that is willing to cooperate, or we can only kill the soul beast.

"Actually, the water pipe theory isn't entirely accurate, because it doesn't explain why spirit rings can only be absorbed by those who kill spirit beasts."

"Maybe it's the rules of the world." Xiao Wu said.

Chen Feng glanced at her and nodded, no longer dwelling on this issue.

"Then, do we need to continue the experiment?" Tang San asked.

"It seems that we can't experiment anymore." Chen Feng shook his head, "Just get the spirit ring directly, Xiao San."

Tang San sighed, "What a pity, there's no way to verify your conjecture."

Under the influence of his own martial soul characteristics and Chen Feng, he gradually felt the preciousness of life. Fortunately, the Emerald Bamboo had no wisdom this time, which made him feel better.

Tang San took out a shovel and started digging the soil. If he wanted to kill a Jadeite Bamboo, he had to destroy its roots.

Chen Feng began to think.

The failure of this experiment caught him off guard. The fact that the other party's active cooperation was required for the fusion of soul power became a difficult hurdle for him.

Most intelligent and powerful soul beasts are hostile to humans, while weak soul beasts cannot provide high-quality soul rings.

Although Xiao Wu is a hundred thousand year old soul beast, she has already transformed into a human, and the reliability of the experimental results she provided is not very high.

Therefore, Chen Feng had to find another way.

After taking some effort to kill Cui Yuzhu with the help of Lao Meng, Tang San sat cross-legged and began to absorb the spirit ring.

Chen Feng paced back and forth, thinking about the soul ring experiment.

Just like he said just now, if you want to do this experiment, you must find a soul beast that is willing to actively cooperate, and the age and soul skills of this soul beast must be suitable.

Soul beasts of lower age were basically out of the question. Their intelligence was limited, and they probably wouldn't even understand the meaning of soul fusion. According to Emperor Tian from Dou Er, only soul beasts of ten thousand years old could awaken their spiritual intelligence.

If you want to have simple communication with a soul beast, you may need a soul beast of at least a thousand-year level to be able to roughly understand human language.

In other words, if you want to do this experiment, you have to wait until Chen Feng obtains the third soul ring.

However, it is not impossible to give the second soul ring a try this time. Although the mantis is an insect and its IQ may not be very high, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

In addition, in addition to communicating with the target soul beast, Chen Feng also thought of a more outrageous method.

That is to find a hundred thousand year old soul beast.

Chen Feng had discussed this with Xiao Wu before and knew that powerful soul power control ability was indeed the threshold for a ten thousand year soul beast to evolve into a hundred thousand year soul beast.

Only by fully mastering every change in its own soul power can a ten thousand year soul beast advance to a hundred thousand year soul beast.

In other words, hundred thousand year soul beasts generally possess powerful soul power control, and they should be able to actively reduce the frequency of their own soul power.

If Chen Feng could find a friendly 100,000-year-old soul beast, then he could naturally carry out the experiment however he wanted.

Unfortunately, this method is pure wishful thinking.

Aside from Xiao Wu and the Blue Silver Emperor who have already transformed into humans, the other hundred thousand year old soul beasts would probably attack humans directly upon seeing them, without any further ado.

The hatred between humans and soul beasts has lasted for countless years, and it is extremely difficult to seek cooperation.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s challenging only when it’s difficult. Chen Feng likes to challenge difficult things.

There were no accidents during Tang San's absorption of the spirit ring, and he obtained his second spirit ring smoothly.

"What soul skill did you obtain, Xiao San?" Chen Feng asked when he saw Tang San open his eyes.

"It's a very good spirit skill. It can greatly increase the growth rate of my Blue Silver Grass." Tang San said as he summoned the Blue Silver Grass.

The blue silver grass at this time has changed a lot. The original characteristics of the grass have disappeared a lot, and it has been replaced by thick branches like woody plants. The overall appearance is azure blue.

There are also ring-shaped patterns on the branches, which look like bamboo joints.

Tang San pointed at the Blue Silver Grass he had summoned and introduced:
"This soul skill allows me to summon blue silver grass that grows much faster whenever I stand on the ground. My own physical and soul power will also recover faster. Combined with the photosynthesis of my first soul skill, I feel that if I continue to develop like this, I probably won't have to worry about running out of physical and soul power anymore."

"That's not all." Chen Feng took out a small mirror from his ring and handed it over. "Look at yourself. You've changed a little."

Tang San took the mirror curiously and looked at it. "My hair has become more blue, and my appearance seems to have become more delicate."

"Yeah, he's become a lot more handsome. The evolution of his martial soul can actually improve his appearance. I'm so envious. I wish my martial soul could evolve as well." Chen Feng said sourly.

Tang San was somewhat speechless, "What is there to envy? You are already handsome enough, aren't you? If you become more handsome, how can people live?"

"Who would think they are too handsome?" Chen Feng said, lifting his hair.

Tang San & Xiao Wu & Lao Meng: ...

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and the atmosphere became silent for a moment.

Chen Feng, feeling somewhat embarrassed with no one to save his face, had to forcefully change the subject:

"Let's go find the Golden Blade Mantis and try another experiment."

"Wait, wait, Xiao San and I haven't done our experiment yet." Xiao Wu said quickly.

Chen Feng then remembered that he had missed something, "Oh, right, you two should try soul fusion again."

"Come on, Xiaosan, I must succeed this time." Xiao Wu took the lead and said.

Others thought she was talking about the martial soul fusion technique, but Chen Feng knew that this rabbit spirit probably wanted to hide its own aura.

Tang San was also very interested in the spirit fusion technique. He really wanted to know what the effect of the spirit fusion technique between him and Xiao Wu would be.

So he sat down cross-legged and let Xiao Wu hold his wrist again.

The same scene as the previous two times appeared again, and the shadow of blue silver grass floated towards the shadow of soft bone rabbit.

However, the same scene as the first experiment appeared. When the shadow of the blue silver grass floated near the soft bone rabbit, it quietly shattered into tiny points of light and dissipated into the air.

"The two shadows are closer than the first time." Chen Feng keenly noticed the change in the situation.

He still remembered that during the first experiment, the shadow of the blue silver grass shattered before it could reach the middle of the two of them.

The second time, the blue silver grass phantom shattered as soon as it appeared, and this time it lasted longer than the previous two times.

Tang San and Xiao Wu's situation was better than the previous two times. They were not exhausted this time, but their soul power and physical strength were greatly consumed.

After Tang San and the other man recovered for a while, Chen Feng told them what he had just seen.

After hearing this, Tang San scratched his head and said with some distress:
"Or is it my martial spirit's phantom that shattered first? Could it be that my martial spirit must be fully awakened before success?"

"It's okay, Xiao San." Xiao Wu patted Tang San's shoulder and comforted him, "It doesn't matter if you can hold on for a short time this time. It will be fine if you can hold on longer in the future."

Chen Feng:.
He felt that this statement was ambiguous no matter how he listened to it.

Old Meng at the side also had a strange look on his face, wondering if kids nowadays are so precocious?

Meanwhile, Tang Hao, who was in the distance, was staring intently at Xiao Wu, muttering subconsciously:

"Really? It worked! This little rabbit actually succeeded? Ah Yin, if only you had learned this technique back then, how great it would be..."

Chen Feng pulled Tang San up from the ground, and Xiao Wu jumped up happily.

Seeing her like this, Chen Feng was moved and asked:

"Xiao Wu, why are you so happy?"

"Ah?" Xiao Wu was startled. Seeing that Tang San and Lao Meng were also looking at her, she quickly said:

"Of course I'm happy. This time is better than the first time, which means we're closer to success. Isn't that something we should be happy about?"

"That's right." Tang San nodded and no longer felt strange.

Chen Feng knew in his heart that Xiao Wu might have succeeded this time, but he didn't know what the effect would be.
