Douluo Continent: Naru Sacred Heart, Snow Shines Forever

The group that had returned to the training room were sitting around a large table, enthusiastically discussing the battle they had just fought. Their voices rose and fell, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Boss, what's your assessment of the fight between Captain Chen and Boss Yu just now?"

Yu Feng suddenly interrupted, speaking to Dugu Yan with clear longing in his eyes.

Dugu Yan glanced at him, then turned to Chen Jieqi, who was deep in thought, his fingertips lightly tapping the table.

"It's best to ask Xiao Qi for advice on this matter. Since my martial soul evolved into a Golden Dragon with a Unicorn, my cultivation direction, soul ring combinations, and even my subsequent growth path have all been arranged by him."

Upon hearing this, the previously noisy atmosphere fell silent for half a second.

Yu Tianheng, Aosi Luo, Yu Feng, the Shimo brothers, and even the usually aloof Ye Lingling were stunned, their gazes all turning to Chen Jieqi standing to the side.

In their minds, Dugu Yan was the strongest member of the team, yet now he was saying that he would let this boy, who was not even twelve years old, arrange everything for him?

Seeing the "shocked and confused" looks on everyone's faces, Dugu Yan chuckled and continued to reveal her hand.

"What I said before the battle was the truth. The reason I was lazy was because Little Qi had already planned everything for me."

I just need to practice step by step.

She paused, her gaze softening as she looked at Chen Jieqi, her tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of admiration.

"Therefore, it would be best if your captain analyzed this battle and provided guidance on how you can improve."

As for myself, I'll say it again: my responsibility is simply to be beautiful.

Dugu Yan shrugged, her tone languid, and her "lying flat" posture made the people next to her roll their eyes.

Everyone naturally ignored her boastful joke, their eyes fixed intently on Chen Jieqi in the main seat.

His eyes were full of expectation and ingratiation, even with a hint of provocation.

"Captain~"

The deliberately drawn-out, soft tone of the call sent shivers down Dugu Yan's spine, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to rub her arm.

"Ugh... Okay, okay, stop with the cheesy stuff."

I almost threw up what I just ate.

This remark made everyone burst into laughter.

As for Chen Jieqi, even with his two lifetimes and decades of soul experience, his cheeks still couldn't help but flush slightly from being bombarded with those sickeningly sweet calls.

He coughed twice to hide the embarrassment in his eyes.

"Since that's the case, then I'll say a few words, and everyone can add to and support my points."

He cleared his throat, and without further ado, began to speak.

"After Sister Yan Yan's martial soul evolved into the Golden Dragon with a Unicorn, it became a sub-dragon martial soul with earth attributes."

In terms of quality, it belongs to the top-tier beast spirit. Although it cannot compare to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, it is not much worse.

Generally speaking, cultivating this type of dragon-type martial soul as a powerful offensive type is the optimal solution. I believe Tianheng understands this best, right?

Chen Jieqi turned his gaze to Yu Tianheng, his tone calm yet very firm.

"Yes, Captain Chen!"

Yu Tianheng immediately agreed, his eyes full of approval.

"Our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, besides having awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, also has many awakened Mountain Dragon, Sub-Dragon, and other martial souls."

Basically, all dragon-type martial souls follow a power-attack route, without exception.

Chen Jieqi nodded slightly, then changed the subject.

"Are you curious why I let Sister Yan Yan continue with her previous control-based style instead of switching to an offensive style?"

He paused, looked at Yu Tianheng, and spoke with a hint of insight.

"Furthermore, judging from today's battle, you often spar with Sister Yan Yan and have subconsciously started imitating her fighting style, right?"

"Yes, Captain Chen!"

Yu Tianheng nodded respectfully, and was about to ask further questions when Chen Jieqi spoke first.

"There are two main reasons why we let Sister Yanyan continue down the control-related path."

His gaze swept over the crowd, and he explained clearly and logically:

"First, before her martial soul evolved, Sister Yan Yan's Azure Scale Serpent martial soul was a control-type martial soul, and she was already familiar with the combat rhythm of a control-type martial soul."

Abruptly switching to an offensive style would not only require readjusting to the combat process but also waste a significant amount of training time.

"Secondly, this is determined by the characteristics of the evolved Golden Dragon Unicorn Martial Soul. The earth element attribute, whether it is field control or suppression, conforms to the essence of the control system."

He paused to let everyone process the information, then looked at Dugu Yan.

"More importantly, after her martial soul evolved, Sister Yan Yan's first two soul skills became [Earth Power] and [Elemental Simulation]."

These two soul skills, one enhancing the power of earth-type attacks and the other simulating elemental transformations, are practically tailor-made for control-type characters.

As long as subsequent soul rings are further strengthened and their attributes refined, and the soul power consumed is replenished, a perfect control system can be formed. There is absolutely no need to abandon the fundamentals and change to a purely offensive approach.

Chen Jieqi continued, his tone full of precise analysis of the characteristics of martial souls.

"Most importantly, Sister Yan Yan doesn't have the weakness of a typical control-type Soul Master, such as being physically weak, nor is she afraid of ordinary close combat."

"As a sub-dragon type martial soul, the Golden Dragon Unicorn already possesses very high attack and defense. Subsequent soul ring enhancements will not only strengthen its attributes but also provide significant boosts to its own power."

This will also make Sister Yanyan no weaker than a typical offensive or defensive Soul Master.

In conclusion:

"So, even though Sister Yan Yan's martial soul evolved from a snake type to a sub-dragon type, the reason why I still let her continue to follow the control type route is this."

The words had barely left his mouth when the people in the cultivation room were stunned.

They had never imagined that there were so many intricacies involved in the development and path selection of martial souls; even Dugu Yan herself showed a look of sudden realization.

Yu Tianheng frowned and finally asked what he thought.

"Wouldn't imitating Yanzi's fighting style be putting the cart before the horse?"

Chen Jieqi looked at him, his eyes serious and firm.

"Yes!

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is renowned as the "Number One Beast Martial Soul in the World" because of its powerful physique, unparalleled lightning attribute, and the secret technique of "Dragon Transformation".

To leverage these advantages, close-quarters combat is essential, making a high-attack build the obvious choice.

"While the power of lightning is formidable, it requires concentrated release to unleash its full potential. Therefore, unleashing its power in close combat is the key."

Concentrated blasting, one fatal blow!

Chen Jieqi's voice was powerful and accurate, pinpointing the true nature of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"And choosing to release it from a distance, like you did in your battle, will not only result in a loss of power, but also make you vulnerable to fast agility-based or flying-type Soul Masters."

You might not even be able to hit, wasting your soul power and putting yourself at a disadvantage, so you're not entirely wrong to say you've got your priorities backwards.

"Thank you, Captain Chen."

After hearing these words, Yu Tianheng's tightly furrowed brows completely relaxed, and the confusion in his eyes vanished, replaced by a clear and enlightened look. He solemnly thanked Chen Jieqi.

"You're welcome, we're all in this together."

Chen Jieqi waved his hand, his tone calm.

"You're probably just too impatient. As a sect with a long and distinguished lineage, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has developed a mature system for cultivating its own martial spirit through the exploration and summarization of its ancestors over generations."

Especially you and the White Tiger Clan of the Star Luo Dai Family, your choices of the first three spirit rings are basically impeccable.

"As for what happens next, that depends on individual opportunities and choices."

Is that so, Tianheng?

Chen Jieqi calmly finished the last sentence, his gaze fixed intently on Yu Tianheng.

Yu Tianheng's heart skipped a beat, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. This was a core secret of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family!

He took a deep breath and Yu Tianheng nodded solemnly.

"Yes.

Starting from the fourth spirit ring, due to the increased age requirement, lightning-attribute sub-dragon spirit beasts became increasingly rare, making large-scale breeding impossible.

Therefore, obtaining subsequent spirit rings depends entirely on luck and chance.

"yes."

Chen Jieqi sighed softly.

"Every Soul Master wants a top-tier Soul Beast to match them, but as their level increases, such opportunities become increasingly rare."

He glanced at the crowd, his tone tinged with emotion.

"Those with family influence can at least obtain the best-equipped spirit rings, even across the entire Douluo Continent."

Many ordinary Soul Masters don't even have a basic white ring as their first Soul Ring; the difference is like heaven and earth.

Everyone chimed in, expressing their feelings about the harsh realities and helplessness of the Soul Master world, which also gave them a deeper understanding of its challenges.

The world of Soul Masters is cruel; every increase in strength may be accompanied by "rivers of blood"!

......

Seeing everyone's sighs, Yu Tianheng silently added in his heart,

"There's one more thing I haven't gone into detail about: for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus to maintain its dragon form, it needs sufficient dragon-type soul beast bloodline."

Although Captain Chen didn't mention this, he was probably aware of it.

He took a deep breath, looked up at Chen Jieqi, his eyes full of earnestness.

"Captain Chen, how can I further improve?"
