Douluo Continent Chat Group: Building My Academy

Chapter 90: Strong Attack and Support, Ten Thousand Years of Support

Ouyang Sun hesitated. Since learning about the concept of martial spirits at school, the biggest feature of dual martial spirits is that one's cultivation can support two martial spirits at the same time.

In other words, he can reach the Title Douluo level with just one martial soul, and then use that Title Douluo level to find a soul ring for another martial soul.

In theory, Ouyang Sun could even equip a single martial soul with nine 100,000-year soul rings.

However, Ouyang Sun also learned that, due to the balance principle of dual martial souls, the essence of the two martial souls would never be too far apart, meaning their quality would be comparable.

He has two martial souls, one is Sun Wukong and the other is Ouyang Frog. The former is a fusion-type offensive martial soul, and the other is a detached spiritual support martial soul.

If a real fight breaks out, Ouyang Sun can be said to have a built-in support Soul Master.

Therefore, Ouyang Sun was very hesitant about whether he should take the path of support first, become a titled Douluo, and then switch to cultivating the Nine-Red Strong Attack type Soul Master.

By nature, Ouyang Sun loved fighting; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to survive alone in the deep mountains and wilderness when he was a child.

If he were to follow the path of a support-type Soul Master first, then Ouyang Sun might not be able to reach the Title Douluo level.

Even though he and Oscar are good friends, a dual support system is not what Ouyang Sun wants.

Ouyang Sun had been considering this for a long time, but now that he was truly about to obtain his first soul skill, he finally understood his true intentions.

"Teacher, I think—I'll probably make Sun my main martial soul first, and Ouyang as my second."

"Yeah?"

"Yes." Ouyang Sun nodded, and as he voiced his decision, he felt all his previous hesitation vanish.

"First of all, my personality dictates that I cannot be a pure support Soul Master like Xiao Ao."

"Hey, hey."

"Besides, Xiao Ao and I have decided to team up to fight enemies in the future, and two support soul masters can't fight together."

"Secondly, teacher, you told me a concept: the importance of a support-type Soul Master is greater than that of a combat-type Soul Master."

Similar to status-changing skills in turn-based games, if these skills are to be useful, their effects must be stronger than their attacks.

Either it's a permanent enhancement during a battle, or the enhanced damage over a period of time must be greater than all attack moves over that period of time.

Taking Pokémon game battles as an example, boosting moves will permanently enhance a Pokémon's attack as long as it stays in the field after using them, and the enhanced attack effect will always be greater than the effect of a fully upgraded attack.

Conversely, if the enhancement only increases the attack by 10% in the next round, then why not just attack twice directly?

In team battles among Soul Masters, the best configuration for a seven-person team is always to have a support-type Soul Master, and a two-person team is also the best for one to support and the other to fight.

All of this proves the importance of support-type Soul Masters.

According to this theory, Ouyang Sun should first pursue a support-type martial soul, and then pursue a powerful offensive martial soul. The martial soul skills of the powerful offensive martial soul may be nine attacks with a power of 100,000 each.

You can go for a strong offensive build first, then a support build, in which case the support build might allow your basic attack to reach 100,000 damage.

"I think that only by pursuing a powerful offensive spirit can I possibly become a Title Douluo, and I believe that a support spirit master with nine 100,000-year spirit rings is absolutely unique."

Ouyang Sun said earnestly, "Nine hundred-thousand-year-old offensive-type cultivators could only make him who he is, but now he has the academy behind him, and nine hundred-thousand-year-old cultivators assisting him."

Even a Soul Saint-level Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School member can assist a Title Douluo in battle.

Ouyang Sun was born with a support martial soul full of soul power, and he thought it should not be inferior to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"A great idea."

Flanders nodded. From the principal's perspective, Ouyang Sun's decision would benefit the whole group; from the teacher's perspective, he also supported the student's own decision as long as the path wasn't wrong.

Ouyang Sun is undoubtedly a child with his own opinions, but if his opinions are suppressed, it may cause psychological problems. Therefore, as long as it is not a bad thing, Flander will support the child's suggestions.

"Then let's start with your Sun Wukong martial soul. Do you have any ideas on what your first soul skill should be?"

"Um----"

Ouyang Sun thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to Zhao Wuji, based on Teacher Zhao's teachings and the six moves of Iron Block that he had first mastered.

"I think my first soul skill should ideally be like the White Tiger Martial Soul of the Star Dou Empire that you mentioned, a status enhancement skill, and—"

Ouyang Sun's eyes lit up when he thought about how Flander would occasionally tell them fantasy stories after class to broaden their horizons.

"Ideally, he should be indestructible, like the Monkey King you mentioned, teacher!"

"Indestructible? That's certainly impressive."

Flanders nodded. After all, Ouyang Sun's prototype was Sun Wukong, and telling him the story of the prototype would help him understand himself better.

Moreover, Sun Wukong's fighting style is indeed based on his indestructible body. Under normal circumstances, he is very difficult to kill. He can just take whatever skills he encounters first, and his margin for error is astonishingly high. Whether it is Laozi's Seven Star Sword or the Green Lion Spirit's self-proclaimed great steel knife, it won't even break a hair on his head. Not to mention the famous executions in Heaven, where he was cleaved by knives and axes, burned by fire and struck by lightning, but still couldn't hurt a single hair.

But there are always exceptions. Sun Wukong's indestructible body was broken more than once, but the value of this ability is truly undeniable.

With just one first soul skill, it's really difficult to achieve the same indestructible strength as Sun Wukong.

The value of a hundred-year-old soul ring is only so much, unless—

Considering that Tang San's external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, was obtained from a thousand-year-old soul beast and has the potential to grow, it's not impossible for him to obtain a hundred-year-old soul beast as well.

Regarding the attributes that match Ouyang Sun's, Flander clearly remembered that the child's attribute orientation was malevolent energy, and when using this ability, he even possessed super armor and berserk effects.

Therefore, the attributes of Ouyang Sun's first soul ring are clear: murderous aura, indestructible, and status skill.

"With fire and indestructible metal, the direction we're heading is now extremely clear."

After confirming the two children's presence, Flander turned his gaze toward the forest.

The fresh air brought a gentle breeze, and the forest birds that had been startled when Flanders and his party arrived gradually returned to the woods after the group stopped moving around.

Flander released his soul power slightly, without summoning his own martial soul, but simply used the lightest method to promote air circulation.

The sensation then spread outwards, carried by the omnipresent wind, reaching the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

At the same time, Flander raised his right arm, and the ten-thousand-year-old royal griffin soul bone shone brightly.

Soul Bone Skill: King of Raptors!

A whirlwind came, and under Flander's control, it condensed and transformed into an incredibly small lion. With another wave of his hand, the wind griffin set off.

Instead of following the omnipresent wind to survey the entire Starry Sky Forest, it pounced on the birds in the forest.

Under the oppressive presence of the wind griffin, all the forest birds were intimidated by the flock, and then scattered as if driven away, together looking down at the entire forest from the sky.

The King of Raptors ability can transform into griffins using wind, the number depending on its own soul power, and it has absolute dominance over all birds whose essence is lower than that of a griffin.
