Douluo: Dream Overlord

Chapter 157 Searching for Support-Type Soul Beasts 2

Time has always been irreconcilably opposed to evil spirit masters.

First of all, marriage is harmful to the entire Douluo Continent. Their existence will cause a lot of resource loss and civilian deaths because most of them take a crooked path and rely on evil magic to improve their strength.

This is also why they were questioned by Shidai and Qifei after they used the immortal herbs to improve their strength, because their speed of improvement was too fast to be true.

For a typical Soul Master to increase their Soul Power by one level, it would take about a year.

Genius Soul Masters need about half a year to increase their Soul Power by one level. This is only the initial stage. Later on, even genius Soul Masters will enter a long period of cultivation like ordinary Soul Masters after their talents are fully realized.

After all, there was no cultivation method in Douluo Continent before Douluo II. They could only rely on the technique of meditation to cultivate. This meditation method was too ineffective. It could only be used to cultivate by absorbing soul power. This would cause most of the absorbed soul power to be lost between heaven and earth, leaving only a small part to be absorbed and evolved into their own soul power.

Unlike Tang San and Shi Guang, who have their own ideas, Shi Guang's efficiency in absorbing and extracting soul power is incredibly high, far surpassing that of other soul masters who blindly explore the river.

This is their advantage, a unique advantage among Soul Masters that allows them to surpass their peers and become stronger.

Moreover, their advantages are not limited to this; their endurance in battle is also extremely strong.

Just like Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill, it can continuously restore his soul power even in battle, achieving an endless effect, which can be described as extremely powerful.

Although the Time Meditation Technique does not have this effect, it can be used in battle. When meditating, it can also accelerate the absorption of body-refining soul power, achieving a similar effect to Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Technique, thus becoming a continuous technique.

Shi Guang was very satisfied with this. As a time traveler, this meditation method was obviously his biggest advantage, like a lighthouse illuminating the path ahead for his cultivation, making his path long and wide, like a bright road.

Shi Guang pondered his plan to leave his life's ideas on Douluo Continent as a long-term legacy after he became a god in the future. After all, Tang San had his own place of inheritance in the original work, such as Tang Sect and the Academy of History. As a transmigrator, Shi Guang was confident that he was no worse than Tang San, and would definitely be better at handling similar matters.

Shi Guang planned to create a faction, then use his immortal herbs and cultivation techniques as rewards, so that this department could operate like the future Tang Sect and become a top-tier force that could influence the entire continent.

But as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.

Even Tang San, without my powerful background, could not have accomplished the feat of creating Chinese characters, because most of the resources in this world have been controlled by many academies and families, leaving no room for others to share the pie.

If scavengers want to share the spoils, they either need to join them and become one of them, or they need to become powerful enough to silence these nobles and intimidate them.

Between these two points, the former is still slightly stronger for the present time.

His talent determined that he was destined to be a strongman, and his status also meant that he belonged to the noble class, because his parents were already Soul Masters appointed by the Heaven Dou Empire.

There is an unwritten rule in the world of Soul Masters: when a Soul Master reaches a certain level, he will be granted a certain title by the empire to which he belongs and become a member of that empire.

This marking practice is to prevent Soul Masters from enjoying their resources and then defecting to other empires. If other empires still accept them, it would mean they want to fight a decisive battle with the Heavenly Dou Empire, which is an unacceptable and irrational act for the Whale Fall Empire.

Therefore, the Star Luo Empire generally adopts the same approach as the Heaven Dou Empire, and they generally do not take in people who are wanted by the Heaven Dou Empire.

That's how scavenging parents are. After reaching the Soul Venerable realm or above, they will be granted a title by the royal family. This title may come with some rewards, but there aren't many substantial ones.

After all, it only represents a title, not that you have truly become a strong person.

If you are a Title Douluo, they will not only give you a title, but also various territories and beautiful women. This is the treatment of the strong.

Shi Guang's parents have been granted the title of minor nobles without land, which is of little use, but it does represent that the class of disappointment has moved from the commoners to the nobles.

If someone is trying to purge the nobility, then he is clearly one of them.

This left Shi Guang somewhat helpless. Unknowingly, he was branded with the mark of nobility, which left him with no way to deny it and only the option of continuing down the dark path to becoming a nobleman.

But time is not going to run away, because he has already enjoyed the resources and advantages that come with being a nobleman, and he must also bear the troubles and related affairs, rather than sitting back and enjoying the fruits of his labor and living off his wealth.

What's the difference between such a person and a coward?

Time is no pushover; it's a true tough guy who won't even blink or frown, no matter how badly it hurts.

He will definitely choose to bear the consequences of being a nobleman, after all, his strength is inseparable from the nurturing of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Speaking of which, I should be receiving a royal title from the Heavenly Dou Empire soon, right?"

Shi Guang thought of him. As a member of the royal family of the Tian Dou Empire and a rare genius of the Tian Dou Royal Academy, he would definitely attract the attention of the Tian Dou Royal Family. It was very likely that he would receive news of being officially recognized by the Tian Dou Empire in the near future.

Being bestowed a title by the Heaven Dou Empire is not actually a good thing, because it means he will be exposed to the eyes of Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue is not a problem, but the two titled Douluo beside him are not easy to deal with. They are both Super Douluo between level 94 and 95.

Facing these Super Douluo, Shi Guang, relying on the old man and gambling, was clearly no match for them and could only place his hopes on the few Title Douluo sent to him by the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although they did not appear within Time's detection range, Time felt this was normal. After all, their strength far surpassed his own. In fact, their application of mental power for the first time was definitely stronger than his current mental power, so it was normal that he could not observe them.

Shi Guang couldn't help but feel a little helpless. His mental strength was both high and low, but it was still relatively high among those of the same level, making him the type who was invincible among his peers.

However, he is clearly no match for the strong. No matter how strong he is, he is like an ant that can be easily crushed in front of the strong. This is because his talent has not yet reached the source. When he crosses the line, he still needs a lot of time to grow.

Time is inevitably somewhat helpless. With his talent, it would take him eight to ten years to grow. He could not use that time to grow, since the dangers and opportunities he faced were just as rapid as those faced by Tang San in the original story.
