Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 266 Summary: The toxic backlash has been resolved.

After the gathering ended, Dugu Yan returned to her residence.

Just thinking about Tang San and Yu Xiaogang makes me smile.

It took me a while to calm down, and now it's time to get down to business.

I picked up my phone, ready to look at the information.

I read over three thousand articles before, enduring the boredom and persevering until the end.

I only need to read twenty articles now, but I still can't calm down.

Dugu Yan thought of the grandfather at the reformatory, and then of her deceased father.

My mind sank instantly.

The twenty articles contain a wealth of information.

Unlike when I read over three thousand articles before, which I only skimmed through.

I read these twenty articles very carefully.

Three weeks later, I finished reading all twenty articles, and each one contained some knowledge that Dugu Yan needed.

The twenty articles thoroughly analyzed poison-attribute martial souls. Dugu Yan suspected that the Spirit Hall had collected, compiled, and studied all the information on poison-attribute martial souls across the entire continent before releasing the data.

These twenty documents are invaluable to Soul Masters with poison-attribute Martial Souls.

Dugu Yan now wants to take these documents to her grandfather.

That's right, these materials introduce several solutions for dealing with poison-attribute martial souls.

Option 1: Remove the toxicity.

There are several methods to remove toxins.

The first method is to find a Soul Master who is good at detoxification, among whom Wood-attribute Martial Souls and Food-type Martial Souls have the best detoxification Soul Skills.

The second method is to use detoxifying pills, but only if they can completely remove the toxins. If they only remove part of the toxicity, they can only delay the effect, and the poison will eventually backfire.

The third type is the Immortal Herb. Immortal Herbs are relatively rare, but they have the best detoxification effect and can even grant permanent immunity to poison.

The fourth type is the Soul Guidance Shackles that the Spirit Hall puts on prisoners. These shackles can extract all the soul power from the body, including poisonous soul power.

Long-term detoxification can not only prolong the time before the poison's backlash occurs, but if you're lucky, it can also cause your martial soul to mutate.

There are two types of mutations: one is more toxic, and the other is completely non-toxic.

Option 2: Condense the poison pill.

The soul power was compressed and finally condensed into a poison pill.

It is difficult to compress one's soul power on one's own, but it can be done with the help of external forces.

Being under gravity for a long time can compress soul power.

Taking special pills can also help compress soul power.

Condensing poison pills allows for complete control over toxins.

Option 3: Poison is stored in the soul bone.

Force the toxins in the body into the soul bone.

However, the capacity of the soul bone varies depending on the year.

The older the soul bone, the larger its capacity.

The best way to store poison is through external soul bones, as poison can be considered a form of energy that can help external soul bones grow.

Among external soul bones, the best are those provided by poison-attribute soul beasts.

Most of the additional skills are related to poison. Storing toxins can not only help the soul bone grow, but also make the soul skills more powerful.

Option 4: Poison stored in the Soul Ring.

The Spirit Hall is still studying this plan and will not disclose it to the public for the time being.

These are several solutions that Dugu Yan summarized after reading twenty articles.

Aside from the poison-containing Soul Rings, all other methods have had successful cases.

Option 1 is a method to remove the toxins. The first and second methods are ineffective for Dugu Yan. The third method is a magical herb, which, according to the description, is undoubtedly the best method. However, magical herbs are hard to find. The fourth method is exactly the method that Grandpa is using.

Later it says that with long-term detoxification, the martial soul will mutate, but I don't know what kind of mutation Grandpa's martial soul will eventually undergo.

Option two: Condense a poison pill. Grandpa seems to have one, which has some effect, but not as good as described in the information.

It seems there's something wrong with Grandpa's poison pills.

However, the information states that after condensing the poison pill, one can completely control the poison.

This greatly appealed to Dugu Yan. The first option, removing the poison, would undoubtedly reduce her strength, but condensing the poison pill would not; on the contrary, it would increase her strength.

The poison-attribute external soul bone in Option 3 is very attractive. Soul bones are rare, let alone external soul bones, especially poison-attribute ones.

Since the Spirit Hall's records mention this, it means that someone in the Spirit Hall has absorbed a poison-attribute external spirit bone.

This external soul bone depends on luck; it can't be obtained simply by hunting soul beasts. It must be absorbed along with the soul ring.

Who is it from the Spirit Hall? They're so lucky.

Option three undoubtedly depends on luck, and since both Dugu Yan and her grandfather have full soul rings, this option is completely ineffective for them.

However, Dugu Yan suddenly thought of something.

When the Spirit Hall announced the Summoner class, they mentioned that the Spirit Rings could be removed.

I read in the newspaper that after the spirit ring was removed, the contracted spirit beast would condense a spirit ring again.

After the spirit ring is removed, can it be absorbed again?

This wasn't mentioned in the information previously released by the Spirit Hall.

If you hunt and absorb a spirit beast yourself, once the spirit ring is removed or completely shattered, you truly cannot absorb it again.

Because when absorbing this soul beast's soul ring, a portion of the soul beast's soul enters the soul master's soul, which is equivalent to marking it, so the soul ring cannot be absorbed again.

However, if Jerry helps to remove the soul beast soul from the soul master's soul, then the soul ring can be reabsorbed.

The soul rings generated by the soul ring maker immediately destroy the soul within them after generation, so if they are removed, they can be reabsorbed.

Where did Dugu Yan get her spirit ring? She hunted spirit beasts herself, and she also received a spirit ring bestowed by the gods.

So Dugu Yan, you mustn't try it, or you'll die!

Although Dugu Yan had thought of this, the Spirit Hall hadn't said anything, and she didn't dare to try it herself.

You have to try it yourself and also gamble on luck.

Ultimately, option three was not considered.

As for Option Four, the Spirit Hall only mentioned one name.

Judging from the name, it involves storing poison in a spirit ring.

However, the Spirit Hall has not disclosed how to proceed.

However, upon comparison, this plan is quite similar to the concept of a soul bone.

If this method works, with nine spirit rings and one divine ring, how much poison would be stored up?

This method was undoubtedly very appealing to Dugu Yan.

I'm really eager to know what to do right now. Holding my phone, I feel like I'm being scratched by a cat; it's very frustrating.

This Spirit Hall is infuriating! They started the story but didn't tell the whole story.

It's heartbreaking to watch, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Of all the options available to Dugu Yan right now, only condensing the poison pill seems somewhat useful.

After condensing the poison pill, the toxins from the soul bone can be stored inside the poison pill.

The above describes two methods for compressing soul power.

Gravity and elixirs.

As for gravity, there is a gravitational field outside.

What kind of elixir is it? Again, no name is given.

Dugu Yan looked through all the pills published by the Spirit Hall, but there were none that could compress spirit power.

The Spirit Hall is inhuman; they've hidden this kind of elixir.

But that won't stop me. Grandpa has poison pills. I'll go ask him how he got them.

That evening, Dugu Yan went to her grandfather again and told him everything she had found. Dugu Bo listened with admiration, saying that these solutions were truly ingenious.

Based on his experience, Dugu Bo deduced that all of them were feasible, but each method had too many prerequisites.

In particular, after Dugu Yan mentioned the matter of condensing poison pills, Dugu Bo was unsure whether his own pill plant could be considered a poison pill.

His martial soul, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, evolved into the Serpent Queen, condensing a pill bead. This pill bead was connected to Dugu Bo's lifeblood, and half of his strength was contained within it.

Because this elixir plant is poisonous, Dugu Bo called it the Poisonous Elixir.

This is completely different from the poison pill described in the Spirit Hall's documents.

His poison pills can't store all the toxins; they can only store half, so he will still suffer from the backlash of the poison.

Judging from its effects, his pill doesn't quite deserve to be called a poison pill.

He told Dugu Yan about his Danzhu, and that his martial soul evolution was completely accidental, and he didn't know what happened.

Although I can only store half of my pills, their effects are too similar to those of poison pills. It seems that I still know too little about pills.

However, there's really no way to study it now. Danzhu is part of my body, and these soul-guided shackles have also extracted the soul power inside. It's a complete extraction, leaving nothing behind.

All other plans I have are too restrictive and simply cannot be implemented. However, isn't the Soul Guidance Shackles plan exactly what I'm doing now?

Moreover, according to the information, he was one of the lucky ones, and his martial soul had already begun to mutate.

"Yanyan, you searched for this information on your phone, right? Try using your friend's phone. Doesn't he have an internal employee ID number? Try it and see if the search results are the same."

Dugu Bo was just saying it casually; it doesn't matter whether it's true or not, as the information is already quite comprehensive.

It's just a gamble; if there's still some left, great; if not, it doesn't matter.

There was no cell phone signal in the prison area. After leaving the cell, Dugu Yan sent a message to Tang San, asking him to try searching for it.

Tang San quickly replied with a screenshot of the search results.

In addition to the twenty documents that Dugu Yan had read, there was one more document in the screenshot.

Then I sent a message to Tang San, and Tang San quickly sent me a screenshot of the information.

This piece isn't long, but its content is quite revolutionary and subverts Dugu Yan's understanding.

This document does not include any supplementary information about immortal herbs or elixirs; it only provides a detailed description of the fourth option.

This document states that, in addition to the presence of soul power seeds in martial souls, soul power seeds can also be condensed in soul rings. Injecting soul power of the same attribute into these seeds can increase the lifespan of the soul ring.

Using one's own soul power to increase the age of a soul ring is a slow process and is not recommended.

The method of condensing soul power seeds in soul rings is also introduced later.

The ending points out that if it is a poison-attribute martial soul, one can try to use one's own soul power to increase the age of the soul ring in order to prevent the poison from backfiring.

It is recommended that a poison-attribute martial soul absorb a wood-attribute soul ring. This way, injecting soul power will not only increase the age of the soul ring, but also provide a place to store the toxins.

This information completely overturned Dugu Yan's understanding. It turns out that she could increase the age of her spirit rings. This is simply unbelievable.

Dugu Yan's sixth spirit ring was absorbed from a wood-attribute spirit beast. At that time, she was traveling alone and encountered a severely injured plant spirit beast, a 50,000-year-old Mirage Poison Flower. She dealt with it without much effort.

He had previously lamented that his sixth spirit ring wasn't a snake-type spirit ring, but now it seems like this is his turning point.

According to the information, first use mental power to restrict the soul ring, and then start injecting soul power. Poison attribute is classified as a lower level of wood attribute, so one's poison attribute soul power should be able to condense a wood attribute soul power seed.

As soul power was injected, it began to run wildly because it was confined within the soul ring by spiritual power.

After a certain amount was injected, these soul powers began to merge with each other, eventually forming a green-black soul power seed.

Wood-attribute soul power seeds are green, while poison, belonging to the lower level of the wood attribute, is greenish-black in color.

It's exactly the same as what's described in the materials.

The method of condensing soul power seeds into soul rings was initially known only to Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Jerry's fellow disciples.

Later, Jerry's strength increased, so he stopped caring about this and released some information about condensing soul power seeds.

The method for condensing soul power seeds of attributes other than one's own has not been disclosed.

If someone like me were to create a crystal ball in Wuhun City, wouldn't we be doomed?

However, this was enough for Dugu Yan.

After condensing the Soul Power Seed, Dugu Yan felt that her cultivation had changed. Before, only her Martial Soul absorbed the Soul Power in the world, but now this Soul Ring was also absorbing it.

Unfortunately, the soul power absorbed by a martial soul is transferred to the body, while the soul power absorbed by a soul ring is stored in the soul ring to support its growth.

Besides letting the spirit ring absorb it on its own, you can actively inject spirit power into it.

Dugu Yan released a wisp of poisonous soul power from her soul bone, then forced it into her soul ring. As soon as it entered the soul ring, it was absorbed by the soul power seed without any incident.

Then Dugu Yan began to extract large amounts of poison from the soul bones and inject it all into the soul ring.

The night passed quickly.

Dugu Yan clearly felt a slight improvement in the spirit ring's spirit skill. After checking her physical condition, she found that the spirit ring's lifespan had increased from 50,000 years to 50,001 years.

This is also because Dugu Yan is already a god-level expert with abundant soul power. If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't be able to increase their soul power in a single night, let alone in a year.

Even if it increases by a year in one night, or 365 years in one year, it's really nothing for a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

No wonder it was mentioned above that the speed is slow and not recommended for use.

It's better to go to the Spirit Hall to upgrade your spirit rings. As long as your physical strength is high, you can increase your spirit rings by 10,000 years at a time.

However, what Dugu Yan valued was not this, but the fact that the spirit ring could actually store toxins. Since the upper limit of the spirit ring was very high, the toxins could be stored indefinitely.

Doesn't this mean that a single spirit ring solves the problem of poison-attribute martial souls?

Dugu Yan was being a bit presumptuous. In the past, people didn't know about spiritual power. Even if some people had it, their spiritual power was very low, so they couldn't detect the soul power seed or prevent the soul power from leaving the soul ring.

Even now that Jerry has released "Jerry's Visualization Method" and many people are practicing it, most people's mental strength only reaches its limit at around 800 or 900.

To restrict soul power from leaving the soul ring using mental power, one needs at least two thousand mental power.

So, Dugu Yan's claim that a single spirit ring can solve the problem of poison-attribute martial souls is not that simple; there are many prerequisites.

Dugu Yan was able to condense a soul power seed at once entirely because she had already become a god, possessed high spiritual power, and therefore found it easy to learn some basic things.
