Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Young Gilas, Sandstorm King!

Chapter 4: The Concept of Multiple Characteristics!

After learning about Larvitar's moves, Lin Xia became even more curious about its abilities!
After all, abilities are a huge boost for Pokémon, and each Pokémon has its own unique ability.

Larvitar has two characteristics. One is Guts. If Larvitar becomes abnormal, its attacks will become stronger!
The other is a hidden trait, Sand Concealment, which increases evasion rate in sandstorm weather. In Douluo Continent, this would mean becoming more agile!

However, given the current conditions, Lin Xia cannot test either of these two characteristics, so he had no choice but to give up.

Lin Xia abandoned the idea of ​​delving deeper into the existing characteristics of Young Gilas. This thought was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, the ripples that spread instantly stirred up a raging storm in her mind.

A mental shackle that had long been bound by the Pokémon worldview suddenly shattered with a snap!

"Wait! I've made a stupid mistake!"

Lin Xia suddenly slapped her forehead, her eyes widening as if she were seeing the world clearly for the first time.

"I've been transported to another world! This is the Douluo Continent! My martial soul is a living Larvitar, that's true, but the rules of this world are completely different from Pokémon!"

"Why do I have to match it to the characteristics and moves in the Pokédex? Why can't I... be a little bolder? Why can't I think a little more wildly?"

This idea spread like wildfire, instantly igniting all of Lin Xia's thoughts.

Lin Xia suddenly lowered his head, staring intently at the young Giras, who was patting its belly with its short claws and savoring the taste of the ore.

"Acquire a spirit ring... spirit skill..."

Lin Xia muttered to herself as her heart began to pound uncontrollably, each beat feeling like a heavy hammer pounding on her chest.

"If... if I selectively choose the type and attribute of a soul beast when hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings... could... could I use the effects of soul skills to simulate, or even directly endow Larvitar with characteristics like Pokémon?"

This idea, like lightning, pierced through the fog of thought, instantly illuminating a completely new path with almost infinite possibilities!

"Ability! Pokémon's ability!"

Lin Xia was so excited she almost jumped up, and her breathing became heavy.

"This isn't a skill or technique! It doesn't require active activation; it's almost entirely passive! The effects are simple and brutal, and once they're stacked up..."

Lin Xia's brain was working at an unprecedented speed, and the names of countless top-tier characteristic combinations flashed wildly through his mind.

Sandstorm: Automatically triggers a sandstorm upon Tyranitar's appearance! Imagine Tyranitar's arrival plunging the world into darkness, with sand and stones flying everywhere!

Sand Hidden: Evasion rate is increased during sandstorms! Isn't this the top-tier performance of ghostly and elusive movements in Douluo Continent?

Sandstorm Breaker: Doubles speed in sandstorms! A colossal machine that moves like a ghost in a sandstorm? Who can keep up?!
Sand Power: Rock, Ground, and Steel-type moves are enhanced during sandstorms!
Regeneration: Restores some soul power/injuries when retrieving the Martial Soul Space! A perpetual motion machine-like endurance on the battlefield!
Rough Skin: Contact with your opponent will result in recoil damage! Make melee enemies pay the price for even a single touch!

Levitate: Immune to Ground-type attacks! It can even make Tyranitar fly! (Groudon speaks!)

Forced: Abandon the additional effects of the move, greatly increasing its power! The embodiment of ultimate violence!

"Sandstorm + Sand Concealment + Sand Sweep + Sand Power + Regeneration + Rough Skin + Levitation..."

Lin Xia simply rearranged these names, and a terrifying scene that made his scalp tingle and his blood boil instantly unfolded before his eyes!

Lin Xia seemed to see the distant future, where his martial soul had evolved to its ultimate form—Desert Tyrant Tyrant Bangiras!
It is no longer a king prostrate on the earth, but...

Its massive, mountain-like body, covered in grotesque armor resembling solidified lava, defied gravity and hovered steadily in mid-air! Its overwhelming form completely blocked out sunlight, casting a suffocatingly huge shadow on the ground!

An unprecedented super sandstorm roared around it in an instant, but it could not shake it in the slightest.

This is no ordinary sandstorm; it is an ultimate natural disaster that carries sharp rock fragments, contains violent soul energy capable of tearing through space, and is powerful enough to grind away steel and obscure the stars!

Yellow sand filled the sky, obscuring the sun and turning the entire battlefield into an absolute death zone!

As far as the eye could see, there were only endless whirlwinds of destruction!
In this sandstorm hell dominated by it, Tyranitar, who should have been somewhat sluggish due to its enormous size, was now as a part of the sandstorm itself, incredibly agile!

"……hiss……!"

Lin Xia gasped for breath, feeling a chill run down her spine. Just thinking about it sent shivers down her spine, and a strong tingling sensation shot straight to the top of her head!

His mouth stretched wildly and uncontrollably upwards, revealing a row of gleaming white teeth; the smile almost reached his ears.

That smile was filled with extreme excitement!

"As for soul skills? Regular soul skills?"

Lin Xia was so excited that his body was trembling slightly. He shook his head vigorously, as if he were rejecting a huge joke.

"Who cares about those things anymore! Is it that Pokémon don't have enough moves, or that they're just not good enough?"

"As long as Larvitar awakens its skills step by step, will there be any shortage of skills to use?"

"Moreover, the moves and skills that Young Gilas awakened on its own are its innate divine abilities that are most suitable for it, have the greatest potential, and are the most terrifying in terms of power! As long as it is continuously trained, explored, and allowed to grow and evolve, there is no limit to the growth potential of these skills!"

Lin Xia's eyes burned with passion.

"Plus the 'trait' granted by the spirit ring as a super-amplifier... this combination is simply perfect!"

"So perfect that all so-called 'soul skill combination theories' pale in comparison! They are the 'divine equipment' cheat code for Young Gilas!"

"The only thing that needs to be verified now is my conjecture—whether 'characteristic endowment' can be achieved under the rules of Douluo Continent through specific spirit rings and spirit skills!"

Lin Xia clenched her fists unconsciously, causing the powdery residue from the ore to fall in a flurry.

Looking at the still-young, innocent baby Giras, who was sticking out its little tongue to lick the ore fragments from its paws, its eyes burned with unwavering faith and expectation.

"Just you wait, Youngkiras!"

Lin Xia's gaze drifted into the depths of the distant continent, as if he could already see the legendary rich mineral veins of Gengjin City.

"Eat your fill, grow stronger! Once we find enough food, once my soul power... breaks through to level ten!"

"That will be the time to witness a miracle!"

The bewildered baby Gilas on the ground seemed to sense Lin Xia's excitement and determination, and also let out a loud "Yo-ji!" while waving its short paws incessantly!
