Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

It's a real shame that the first spirit ring was chosen to have an attribute unrelated to the spirit's characteristics, as it's possible to achieve the ultimate traits.

After a group of classmates agreed with Wei Min's point of view, Wei Min turned her gaze to Lin Yu, who was frowning and deep in thought.

"Lin Yu, don't you think it's a waste to use your first spirit ring to build a trait that has nothing to do with your spirit?"

Lin Yu was not intimidated when she was called out.

Faced with the teacher's expectations and the curiosity of her classmates, Lin Yu shared her thoughts.

"The teacher mentioned that spirit rings of different ages can grant different qualities of attributes. Is it possible that any yellow spirit ring could grant Blue Silver Grass attributes that are stronger than the Blue Silver Grass itself?"

"If we abandon the inherent weakness of the Blue Silver Grassland and use all subsequent spirit rings to build up the powerful characteristic added by the first spirit ring, it is not impossible to build up an ultimate characteristic in the future."

In the original story, although Tang San did not transform his martial soul into a divine weapon, his external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, underwent a transformation.

Besides the Eight Spider Lances being an external soul bone, there is another possibility: that Tang San absorbed a large number of spider-type soul beasts in his early years.

This is why Lin Yu was able to give this answer.

Wei Min was very satisfied with Lin Yu's answer and led the applause.

"That's right, it seems that Lin Yu has seriously considered the characteristics of his martial soul since he thought of this."

"Blue Silver Grass's innate characteristics are indeed insufficient. Not only that, but it is also difficult to find a spirit ring with the corresponding characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to change to a more common and easier-to-find characteristic."

"This is the core of what I want to talk about tonight: the trade-off of characteristics. If the characteristics of a martial soul are not enough to support you in reaching the theoretical level, you should give up the original characteristics."

"Next, I'll explain it to you in more detail..."

Wei Min's explanation captivated the students, and Lin Yu, while listening, also seriously considered: what is the characteristic of his martial soul?

Absorbing nutrients? Transporting nutrients? Sensing the surroundings... But can these abilities be considered special characteristics?

The teacher seemed to have deliberately taught this lesson to him, probably with the aim of getting him to choose a stronger trait instead.

After all, the characteristics of his own martial soul don't seem to be very good. If he chooses a strong characteristic, he might be able to narrow the gap between his martial soul and some strong martial souls.

Because of Wei Min's reminder, Lin Yu also had some guesses about the "second awakening of the original martial soul".

The second awakening of the main body martial soul is most likely to give a stronger characteristic to a main body martial soul that is not strong.

If we follow this line of thinking, which type of spirit ring should I absorb as my first spirit ring? And what characteristics should I give it?

Time flies, and a class period passes quickly.

Finally, Wei Min gave a summary of the lesson.

"We'll stop here regarding the choice of martial soul characteristics. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask your teacher privately."

"Considering tomorrow night's content, I'm leaving you all with an assignment: How do you think soul masters who are unable to break through to the Great Soul Master, Soul Venerable, or Soul Grandmaster realms should plan their soul rings?"

After leaving an assignment, Wei Min got up and left the classroom.

Today, the teacher taught practical and valuable material. Although the teacher has left, the impact is still there. Most students have no intention of leaving the classroom and are enthusiastically discussing what they learned tonight with their classmates.

As Lin Yu was about to get up and leave, she saw Hu Liena standing to the side, blocking the exit, staring at her with a somewhat expectant expression.

Lin Yu subtly moved back a little, and at the same time pulled over a chair from the front row, placing it between the two of them.

"Excuse me, do you have a question?"

Hu Liena was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Yu's wariness.

Hu Liena brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and leaned forward slightly: "Excuse me, can you smell something fragrant?"

Lin Yu nodded: "I can smell it, it has a milky scent."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Hu Liena smiled and then deliberately moved closer.

"Does it smell good?"

Lin Yu felt that Hu Liena might not have understood what he meant, so he gently reminded her again.

"It smells nice, but I can't stand the fishy smell."

"It smells fishy?"

Hu Liena frowned, and her face darkened after piecing together Lin Yu's two sentences.

Good grief, this kid is implying that he's still a greenhorn!

"The fragrance you smell is the charm effect of my martial soul. I used it on you twice after arriving at the academy, so why weren't you affected by it?"

Hu Liena revealed her true intentions.

Lin Yu shrugged innocently: "Maybe it's because your martial soul's charm ability is weak. To be honest, trying to influence others with fragrance is just wishful thinking."

The previously noisy classroom fell silent the moment Lin Yu finished speaking.

Lin Yu, belatedly realizing what was happening, looked at the group of students who looked embarrassed and avoided eye contact.

No, is that right?

Is Hu Liena's allure really that exaggerated? She managed to charm the entire class!

Hu Liena was originally just curious about why Lin Yu was unmoved by her charm, but after hearing Lin Yu's disdain for her, her curiosity turned into mockery.

"Hey kid, don't be so sure of yourself. How about you show me your true charm?"

"I'm not interested. The fact that you can influence others shows how strong your charm is. I take back what I said earlier. As for why your ability doesn't work on me, it's probably because my mental strength is higher, and I'm resistant to your charm."

Lin Yu had already seen through the nature of this provocation tactic. He had absolutely no interest in this kind of challenge, which offered no benefit in winning and would only lead to embarrassment in losing.

To his surprise, Hu Liena became even more excited when she heard that her mental strength was high.

"Hey there, what a coincidence! Besides influencing others with fragrance, I can also influence them mentally. You say you have high mental strength, how about I give it a try?"

Seeing that Lin Yu was unmoved by her challenge and even impatiently wanted to refuse, Hu Liena immediately put forward her conditions.

"If you win, you'll be the boss here, and everyone else will have to give you a piece of soul beast meat from the medicinal meal every day at noon."

Hearing the latter's conditions, Lin Yu was tempted. It was medicinal cuisine, soul beast meat cooked with herbs.

The temptation was great, but just because Hu Liena said it didn't mean others would agree.

"The medicinal effects of the midday meal are too strong for most people to handle, so they can accept having some of it given to them in advance."

Lin Yu glanced around and found that no one objected. In fact, one of her classmates even stood up to agree.

"Indeed, the medicinal effects of the food are too strong. You can't eat much before your body can't handle it. You left early at noon today, and we wasted so much of it."

Seeing that Lin Yu was starting to show interest, a classmate kindly spoke up.

"Lin Yu, you don't have to push yourself too hard. We're all classmates. Anyway, we can't finish all the medicinal food at noon. If you want some, just say so. You don't have to compete with her."

That sounds so awkward; it's like putting yourself in a very difficult position.

Looking up at the person who spoke, wow, this is a senior student with a Soul Power Level of Eight, whose Martial Soul is the White-Footed Bear. He is one of the senior students with both prestige and strength.

I can't even beat him in a one-on-one fight.

Unexpectedly, he spoke up for Hu Liena.
