Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 89 Showdown
After hearing Li Zhilong's words, the students of Tiandingxingkong Soul Master Academy who were attracted by the strange vision created by Xu Xiaoyan on the observatory came back to their senses as if waking up from a dream.

He immersed himself in meditation. At this moment, all the soul guide patterns on the observatory lit up. The stars in the sky seemed brighter than ever before, and all the starlight fell madly towards the observatory.

The observatory then collected the starlight and directed it towards Xu Xiaoyan. For a moment, even the bright moon in the sky seemed a little dim.

The entire observatory turned into a golden world.

The students who were able to go to the observatory were all outstanding. Naturally, they would not waste such a good opportunity and quickly entered into meditation.

Xu Xiaoyan was like a goddess of stars descending to earth. A beautiful pattern quietly appeared on her forehead. The power of the stars gathered in front of her.

Her aura was undergoing a fundamental change! This change came from her martial spirit!
This starry phenomenon lasted for nearly two hours. After two hours, the surrounding star power gradually dimmed. Surrounded by the star power, Xu Xiaoyan slowly fell to the ground.

Li Zhilong gradually saw Xu Xiaoyan's appearance at this moment. The golden light spots formed by the power of the stars surrounded her body, just like stars dotted on her dress, and there were 365 places on her body where the golden light converged.

Her martial spirit, the Star Wheel Ice Staff, had completely turned golden. The star wheel above the staff seemed to be imprinted with the galaxy in the sky. Looking closely, it was like looking up at the starry sky.

Li Zhilong's eyes were burning with passion. If such a soul master who was extremely compatible with the star power studied at the Tianding Xingkong Soul Master Academy, who knows how much he could achieve in the future!

After more than an hour, the light on the observatory gradually dissipated, and the power of the stars above returned to normal. Xu Xiaoyan felt the surrounding starlight pour into her body. At this moment, her spirit ring also increased from one to two.

Her skin seemed to have a crystal light flowing.

Xu Xiaoyan slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were like stars falling into a clear spring. The lively light danced in the clarity, full of innocence and romance. Her unintentional glance lit up the whole world.

When she realized that everyone on the observatory was looking at her, a blush suddenly appeared on her face.

"Xiaoyan, how do you feel?" Father Xu asked impatiently.

Xu Xiaoyan whispered, "The changes are huge, and it's hard to explain them in a short time."

Father Xu nodded in understanding. There were too many people here, so they would go back and talk about it later.

"Student, are you interested in staying in our college? Given your conditions, staying here is definitely the best choice." Li Zhilong stepped forward and whispered.

"Teacher, I'm still taking classes at another school." Xu Xiaoyan said in a low voice.

Li Zhilong looked at Xu Xiaoyan with a burning gaze and said, "It's okay. You're still young, but I've recorded what happened just now. I hope you can understand. I also hope you can leave your contact information so that we can communicate more in the future."

"No problem!" Father Xu answered directly, "Also, it's getting late, and Xiaoyan has worked hard here for so long, I want to take her back to rest first." Father Xu didn't want to make a decision about Xu Xiaoyan's life so early, and hoped to give it more consideration.

"Okay, but I still hope you will consider it. Our academy is definitely the one that has the deepest research on star power. Coming here is definitely the best choice for you. In addition, we will arrange an identity for you in a meditation room. You can come here tomorrow to try out the simulated training environment here." Li Zhilong said confidently. He was very clear about how good the academy's simulated training environment for star power was.

The three of them walked down the observatory together. While walking down the observatory, Li Zhilong introduced the situation of Tianding City to the father and daughter.

Tianding City is located around Mingdu. Mingdu and the surrounding cities are all full of tall buildings. Only Tianding City is an exception.

There are not many high-rise buildings in Tianding City. The tallest building here is the Observatory!

There are many observatories built in Tianding City! This is the most famous and the best one!

Mingdu is not short of a high-tech city, but there is still a lack of places like this one that specializes in studying the power of stars.

The entire Tianding City and the surrounding fields were set aside for the study of star power! There wasn't even a single factory around Tianding City!

Listening to Li Zhilong's explanation of Tianding City, Xu Xiaoyan looked into the distance and saw that above the dark blue sky, the stars were like tiny diamonds, freely pouring out silver-white light, covering the entire city with a layer of dreamy veil.

In the distance, the vast expanse of plains stretched out, seemingly merging with the horizon. The stars, seemingly freed from the constraints of the heavens, hung low over the plain, emitting a cool, faint light. Moonlight poured down, shimmering and dancing on the surging river. The shimmering waves were like countless tiny silver flakes, drifting with the current.

This scene made Xu Xiaoyan stunned for a moment, it was so beautiful!
After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic Li Zhilong at the school gate, the father and daughter returned to the hotel.

As soon as he entered the room, Father Xu asked impatiently, "How is it?"

Xu Xiaoyan said excitedly, "The spirit has completely mutated. The difference between day and night was probably due to incomplete changes. Now, it has absorbed a large amount of star power and has completely transformed. The spirit has completely transformed into a star staff, and the ice attribute has been washed away, leaving only pure star attributes. This is a great thing. In addition, the spirit power has increased by one level, reaching level 20, which is not a big deal."

"Not bad!" Father Xu looked at Xu Xiaoyan happily. This is a daughter of destiny! Relying on the absolutely established star attributes, coupled with the innate full soul power qualifications, in the future, not to mention Super Douluo, there will definitely be no problem in becoming a Titled Douluo. The Xu family has risen again after hundreds of years of frustration!
"What do you think about going to school?" asked Xu's father. This child would be the pillar of the family in the future, so he had to be concerned about her choice.

A gentle and handsome figure appeared in Xu Xiaoyan's mind. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "I want to stay in Donghai City first."

Father Xu nodded and said it would be better for Xiaoyan to stay in Donghai City for the time being. After all, Xiaoyan was still young. If he stayed in Donghai City, he could take care of her for a few years. If he left Donghai City, it would be bad if she grew up abnormally.

The next day, after the two of them tried out the simulated training environment of Tiandingxingkong Academy, they rejected all the temptations proposed by Li Zhilong on the grounds that their child was still young and wanted to consider it again when he entered the advanced department.

Since their martial spirits had completed their evolution, the two did not stay any longer and returned directly to Donghai City.

……

Donghai City.

After a tiring day, Tang Wulin lay on his bed feeling somewhat powerless.

"Old Tang, when do you think I can achieve the strength of Lin Xingyu?" Tang Wulin asked the Old Tang in his body weakly. Old Tang was silent for a moment before saying, "If you were at his current strength, you'd have to wait at least three years. If you want to catch up with him, you'd have to wait until you're at least five rings strong. If you want to surpass him, you'd have to wait until you're at least seven rings strong."

"Seven Rings, how did he cultivate? He's already a Soul Master at this age." Tang Wulin said with a sigh.

"There's nothing much to say. He was born with full soul power, and his martial soul has evolved once. He has had no shortage of resources for cultivation since he was a child, and he has probably eaten a lot of natural treasures. In addition, he has been practicing hard, so it's not surprising that he has this kind of soul power at this age." Old Tang said lightly.

"In the past six months, you should have fully realized how important resources are to cultivation." Old Tang added.

Tang Wulin nodded silently. Indeed, in just over half a year, his soul power had already increased from level 11 to level 17. The difference between having resources and not having resources was completely two levels.

Thinking of this, Tang Wulin suddenly felt discouraged. Lin Xingyu had obtained no fewer resources than himself, and even more. Could he really catch up with him?

As if sensing Tang Wulin's change of mood, Old Tang spoke up, "Don't be discouraged. After all, he's just an ordinary person with great talent. While the Golden Dragon King's seal poses a great danger to you, it also brings you great benefits. Absorbing the seal's power is better than any natural treasure."

After hearing what Old Tang said, Tang Wulin was happy at first, but then felt a little distressed. He had obtained one of the four thousand-year-old spiritual objects needed to unlock the second seal from Teacher Wu before, and he had channels for two of them in the Tang Sect, so he could slowly accumulate contributions. As for the last one, he now had money, but had no place to buy it.

In the Tianhai competition, Lin Xingyu had already divided the money won from the team competition. Tang Wulin got his share. Together with the money from the forging championship, he not only paid back all the money owed to Teacher Wu, but also had several million in savings.

"If you are still worried, listen to me. Get closer to Lin Xingyu and ask him to introduce you to the Body Sect. With your bloodline, you will definitely be valued by the Body Sect." Old Tang said.

"Don't they specialize in collecting original martial spirits?" Tang Wulin replied.

"Lin Xingyu's spirit isn't his true form either."

"Oh, I'll think of another way." Tang Wulin finally sighed.

……

The sky was bright, and the first ray of morning light cut through the thick night like a sharp sword, shining into the body.

Lin Xingyu ended his meditation as usual, got up and started exercising.

After finishing the breakfast carefully prepared by his teacher Muye in the main hall, Lin Xingyu decided to be frank and discuss the changes in his martial soul with his teacher.

"So, your martial soul is indeed a bit strange." After listening to Lin Xingyu's description of the changes in his martial soul, Muye touched his chin and said slowly.

"So you think your martial soul is more like the upgraded state after the fusion of your original martial soul and armor?" Makino said thoughtfully.

Indeed, the changes in this little fellow after his martial spirit possessed him did resemble the original martial spirit.

After the martial spirit possesses the soul master, it has various amplifying effects on the soul master. The beast martial spirit will increase the soul master's strength and physique more, while the agility attack martial spirit will increase the soul master's speed and nerve reaction more.

After this little fellow was possessed by the martial spirit, the enhancement to himself was so comprehensive that it not only increased his own strength, physique, and defense, but even his own qi, blood, and spirit.

It can even be said that it covers the amplification of all the martial souls of the body. If a set of armor amplifies the blood, it can be barely understood, but you even amplify the spirit, and the amplification effect is not bad. What's going on?
Looking at it this way, it does look like the evolved state after integrating with the original martial soul.

Compared to the original martial soul, the little guy's martial soul is indeed more like a humanoid martial soul, like an angel martial soul?
No! It should be higher than the angel spirit, at least higher than the current angel spirits, and higher than my own spirit.

"Come, I'll take you for a detailed check-up. It would be even better if your martial soul indeed contains the properties of the original martial soul." Muye said as he looked at Lin Xingyu, who had a satisfied look on his face after eating.

Muye brought Lin Xingyu to a room in the Body Sect and found a soul guide device as big as a room.

Makino patted the huge soul guide and said, "This is a top-level soul guide that I designed earlier. Using this soul guide, combined with my mental power, I can definitely check if your martial soul truly has the characteristics of your original martial soul."

Lin Xingyu walked forward curiously and looked at the soul guide carefully. It felt to Lin Xingyu like a ninth-level soul guide!

"Come, lie down and release your martial spirit repeatedly." Muye instructed.

Lin Xingyu lay in the center of this soul guide, feeling the invisible light scanning around him.

This made Lin Xingyu feel like he was being seen through.

Half an hour later, Makino looked at Lin Xingyu in disbelief.

"Indeed, it's amazing! You know the former Xingluo Netherworld White Tiger, right? Your martial spirit is like their martial spirit fusion skill, the Netherworld White Tiger. If your armor and body are your White Tiger and Netherworld Spirit Cat, then your martial spirit is now the Netherworld White Tiger."

"In this case, you can completely use the training method of your original martial spirit."

Speaking of this, Muye's face was filled with uncontrollable joy. He had originally accepted this extremely talented genius for the sake of the sect, and even planned to pass the position of sect leader to him, but he was not his original martial soul, which always made Muye feel that something was missing.

But looking at the current Lin Xingyu, Makino felt that the last bit of regret in his heart had been completely made up. It was simply perfect and could not be more perfect.

"The method of cultivating the original martial soul?" Lin Xingyu nodded in understanding.

"Yes, the biggest difference between the main body spirit and other spirits is that we can train the spirit through physical training, but other spirits do not have this opportunity."

After Muye finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xingyu with a burning gaze, "I used to think that this training method would have little effect on your martial spirit, and it would be better for you to eat more medicinal food and meditate on your own. Now it seems that this training method has a positive effect on your martial spirit, so you can't give up!"
