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

Chapter 58 Breaking the Curse and Absorbing the Soul Ring

"I don't know how the curse came about in the first place! But I guess it was a long, long time ago, because the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul was too powerful, a Soul Master with the dark attribute took action and added a dark restriction to your Martial Soul."

"However, with each generation, this dark restriction weakens. I previously discovered a trace of dark attribute soul power in your martial soul. This trace was too weak and has already been assimilated into your soul power. Even if it's not removed, it will disappear in a few generations, and then this curse will naturally be resolved! But this trace of assimilated dark attribute soul power will still be helpful to you. Every time you absorb a soul ring, it will devour the other attributes in the soul ring. Without other attributes in the soul ring, you can better control it, and the power of your soul skills will be greater!"

"My spiritual power is strong, and I discovered the essence of martial souls very early on! Every soul master's martial soul has at least one seed, which I named the Soul Power Seed. Without a Soul Power Seed, it is a useless martial soul that has no innate soul power and cannot cultivate. Each Soul Power Seed has an attribute, and through cultivation, I discovered how to condense a Soul Power Seed."

"Although you have assimilated this trace of dark attribute soul power in your martial soul, your mental strength is too weak to control it, so this trace of soul power is still playing its original role. As for why there can only be one successor per generation, and only two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters can live at the same time, this is easy to explain."

"Now, the dark attribute soul power is tightly connected to your martial soul. It was passed down along with the martial soul during the inheritance process. The initial ability of this wisp of dark soul power should have been to continuously damage the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul. Therefore, the direct descendants of the Nine Heart Begonia were initially suppressed by the dark attribute soul power, unable to exert their maximum healing effect. With each generation, the descendants of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul would split off a wisp of dark attribute soul power to suppress it. The more it split, the weaker the dark attribute soul power became. Now, there should only be two wisps left, and it can no longer split off. However, it has mutated. Every time a new Nine Heart Begonia awakens, the dark attribute soul power in the previous generation will sense it, and then, after absorbing the soul power seed in the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, it will transfer to the martial soul of the newly awakened person and continue to suppress it! After the soul power seed in the martial soul of the older generation was absorbed, their soul power became uncontrollable, so they would all die from a soul power outburst."

"However, as time goes by, these two strands of dark attribute soul power become weaker and weaker, and are even assimilated by the soul master. That's why I said that even if it's not resolved now, it will disappear after a few generations. Once assimilated, it will become your soul power, and it won't be passed down!"

"My approach wasn't to eliminate this trace of dark attribute soul power. Because of the assimilation, this trace of dark attribute soul power already belongs to you, but it's too small to condense into a soul power seed. So it can only hover around your current wood attribute soul power seed. My method is to strengthen this trace of soul power, allowing it to condense into a soul power seed, so you can control this power. Therefore, I found a dark attribute plant-type soul beast, which is most suitable for you and can help you condense the soul power seed. After condensing the soul power seed, you will have control over this power, so the curse is broken! Moreover, your martial soul has gained another attribute. You should now be considered a dual-attribute soul master, no longer just a support-type soul master!"

Hearing Jerry's explanation, Ye Lingling was a little confused. This was knowledge she had never encountered before and needed to be accepted slowly!

Xiao Wu's spirit ring is quite simple. Among the several plant-type spirit beasts that Jerry cultivated in the core area, there was a 100,000-year-old spirit beast with a metal attribute, the Golden Light Sword Grass!

Now that Xiao Wu's spiritual power has reached the third level, after being taught how to condense a soul power seed, she quickly condensed a water-attribute soul power seed. After successfully condensing the water-attribute soul power seed, Xiao Wu felt completely comfortable, and a sense of suppression had disappeared! Moreover, Xiao Wu's speed and attack power had increased significantly, and she felt she could now perfectly control her body!

The sacrifice was easy, and Xiao Wu quickly absorbed the soul ring, but Jerry didn't see the soul bone.

"Xiao Wu, why don't you have a soul bone?" Jerry asked!

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Jerry, watch closely, the Golden Light Sword!" Xiao Wu's right hand flashed, and a golden light sword condensed in her hand. She swung it a couple of times, quite skillfully!

"This...this is an external soul bone, and a hand soul bone at that, that can even turn into a lightsaber! Xiao Wu, you're so lucky!" Jerry was envious. An external soul bone, a lightsaber! He really wanted one! Compared to a lightsaber, what kind of junk was he making? He suddenly felt a bit disgusted!

"Yes, because of the sacrifice, the soul bones fused together! I can now use them at will, and the Golden Light Sword can ignore defenses and inflicts a burning effect!" Xiao Wu said happily!

Jerry looked at the seeds of the Golden Light Sword Grass, thinking about it made him lazily bask in the sun. He had chatted with it before and asked what skills it had, and it casually mentioned that it would emit a golden light and be very sharp! But how come it's so powerful now! Xiao Wu is definitely the protagonist, I can't compare to her!

This was a huge success! Ye Lingling, through the sacrifice of a 30,000-year-old soul beast, directly leveled up to level 46. With control over dark attribute soul power and no longer suppressing her wood attribute soul power seed, her basic healing abilities also improved. Lingling's wood attribute soul power seed is currently at level eight, while her dark attribute soul power seed was initially at level one, but after absorbing the dark attribute soul power of the Dark Firefly Grass, it directly reached level four.

It's a bit of a shame that after condensing into a dark attribute soul power seed, the affinity between the soul power and Jerry's martial soul disappeared. Now, summoning the martial soul has no reaction at all; Jerry feels like his martial soul is somewhat averse to other attributes! However, although it disappeared, Lingling can now perfectly control her martial soul. After the curse was broken, her cultivation speed has increased by 150% compared to before. It seems she was suppressed quite a bit before. She was already a genius when she was suppressed, but now that the suppression is gone, she's even more powerful. The Nine-Hearted Begonia is truly powerful; no wonder she was targeted. With her on the battlefield, almost no one will die!

Jerry asked where the other Soul Master of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul was.

"There's another Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul, and that belongs to my mother. I haven't seen her for a long time. Over a decade ago, a pope from the Spirit Hall was seriously injured and sent someone to take my mother away. After that, there was no news of her. Soon after, I heard that the pope of the Spirit Hall had died from his injuries, and the Clear Sky Sect closed its gates and went into seclusion. The current pope, Bibi Dong, succeeded to the throne. But there has been no news of my mother! But I can sense that my mother is still alive. This is the connection between our two Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Souls. Only when one of them disappears can a new awakener emerge. Now that I have mastered the dark attribute, I can sense that my mother is currently in the direction of the Spirit Hall." Ye Lingling said, her voice tinged with sadness.

Xiao Wu, having absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring and an external soul bone, instantly reached level 55, gaining two soul skills: a Golden Sword Array that summons ten giant swords for both offense and defense, and a Radiant Golden Light that blinds anyone it touches for 20 seconds—even with eyes closed, it's unavoidable! Her mental power has also increased, now covering a radius of 4050 meters. It seems the sacrifice of a 100,000-year soul beast truly boosted her mental power significantly! Xiao Wu is almost catching up to me now, but I'm also happy for her. The stronger Xiao Wu becomes, the less likely the tragedy of the original story will repeat itself!
