Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 52 Martial Soul Attribute Detector

Ye Wen calmly took a sip of tea and thought about which forces would come looking for him. In the territory of the Spirit Hall, ordinary forces really wouldn't dare to come looking for him.

Only the three upper sects and the two great empires have the courage and power to do so.

Although the royal families of the two great empires do not prioritize martial prowess, and having ruled the continent for over a thousand years, they must have their own methods of inheritance, so they shouldn't be coming after me.

That leaves only the three cases above as suspects.

As one of the three strongest sects, Haotian Sect has a profound foundation and a variety of inherited techniques, so there's no need for them to seek out me.

As for the remaining two major sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has an inherent problem that it can only be cultivated to level 79, but since it is an auxiliary martial soul, there is no rush.

Furthermore, even if they were to invite me, they should have done so with their usual politeness, sending someone of the caliber of a steward to invite me, rather than sending this kind of assassin.

Therefore, eliminating all suspicion, the only one coming to him could be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Although their martial soul was very strong and the people within the clan were arrogant, what could he do when such a useless young master like Yu Xiaogang had emerged in this generation? As the only titled Douluo son of the family, it was understandable that Yu Yuanzhen didn't want to resolve this issue given his cultivation level and martial soul.

Once he had sorted out his thoughts, there was no need to be too afraid or appear anxious, since he wasn't asking anyone for a favor. After settling the bill, he signaled to the Deadpool to lead the way.

The two did not hide their whereabouts, and secretly observed Ye Wen's forces before reporting the situation to higher authorities.

Those who can become the masters of a powerful force are basically all shrewd and calculating. After only a little thought, Ye Wen and the others were able to guess Yu Yuanzhen's thoughts pretty accurately.

"Ah, what a misfortune for our family."

"This Tyrannosaurus Rex is really something else, but is there any hope for such a useless creature? I'm rather curious."

"Boring."

"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus is already a super martial soul. It's not that easy for it to evolve to a higher level. It seems that I can only do it for his good-for-nothing son."

They made their way to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus's stronghold.

Looking at the burly Yu Yuanzhen sitting in the center of the reception room, Ye Wen couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, the side effect of a lightning-attribute martial soul was a bad temper.

If I say something slightly wrong, who knows if this Tyrannosaurus Rex will go berserk? I guess I'll have to be careful.

"Master Ye Wen, with your wisdom, you should be able to guess why I invited you," Yu Yuanzhen said in a deep voice.

Ye Wen nodded noncommittally and glanced at Yu Xiaogang standing beside him.

"Then, Master Ye Wen, what are your thoughts? To be honest, I don't know why my son's talent has turned out this way, but he is indeed my biological son. If you have a way to solve his martial soul problem, I, Yu Yuanzhen, will owe you a favor."

A favor might seem insignificant, but the person before him was nonetheless a powerful figure who could reach the level of a Super Douluo in the near future, so it did have some value, and Ye Wen was somewhat tempted.

Although Yu Yuanzhen was deeply concerned for his son, Ye Wen was somewhat displeased. He was a guest, and Yu Yuanzhen needed his help, yet he didn't even invite him to sit down. How arrogant! Ye Wen would remember this grudge.

Although he wasn't afraid of Yu Yuanzhen, the situation was beyond his control, and Ye Wen didn't want to escalate the conflict. So, he pretended to take out a small round plate from his pocket and handed it to Yu Xiaogang, saying...

"I've also considered your situation, young master. This disc is an experimental device that I made myself, which can be considered a soul tool. It's called a Martial Soul Attribute Detector. Its main function is to check the attributes contained in a person's soul power. Let's have your young master test it first."

As he spoke, Ye Wen handed the soul tool in his hand to Yu Xiaogang.

This is a simple copper disc with ten different colored metals inlaid on it, connected to each other by a silver metal.

Yu Yuanzhen looked at the simple soul tool with great interest.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang infused his soul power into it, and a golden and a purple metal lit up.

Ye Wen gestured for Yu Xiaogang to return the soul tool to him. He glanced at the two glowing metal dots on the soul tool, put it away, and said...

"I have a general understanding of your situation, young master. No matter how poor your aptitude is, you should not be unable to break through to the Soul Venerable realm."

This situation is probably because you obtained the first two spirit rings in the wrong direction. If I'm not mistaken, your young master's spirit should originally only have the light attribute, but you hunted a lightning attribute spirit beast for him instead.

Yu Yuanzhen's body trembled. Yu Xiaogang's condition was exactly the same as Ye Wen's, except for the light he had mentioned.

As a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul clan, they naturally have their own familiar methods for hunting soul beasts. Therefore, the soul beasts hunted by the younger generation are generally similar. Under this ingrained thinking, no matter how much Yu Xiaogang's martial soul mutates, it should be similar to theirs.

So they hunted down lightning-attribute dragon-type spirit beasts for Yu Xiaogang's first two spirits, but unfortunately the spirit skills they obtained had no lightning attribute at all; instead, they were all disgustingly smelly farts.

"Is there any explanation for this?" Yu Yuanzhen asked.

Instead of answering immediately, Ye Wen asked a question in return.

"Has Your Majesty read my 'Theory of the Origin of Martial Souls'?"

"I've heard about it, but I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to look into it. Could you please explain it to me, Master Ye Wen?"

Yu Xiaogang, who was standing to the side, had seen it all, and after Ye Wen said that, he seemed to understand something, and his expression became somewhat excited.

"To put it this way, in my book on the origin of spirit beasts, I advocate that when spirit masters hunt spirit beasts, they should not only look at the spirit skills, but also choose spirit beasts that are compatible with the original attributes of their own spirit beasts. Although the spirit skills obtained may not be very strong, absorbing spirit rings can optimize one's spirit beasts, and when it reaches a certain level, it can even evolve."

For example, an ordinary lone wolf spirit master's spirit is no different from that of an ordinary wild wolf. However, if he keeps hunting spirit beasts like wind wolves, then after reaching the third or even fourth ring, his spirit can undergo a positive evolution, becoming a wind wolf spirit, and be passed on to his offspring.

In this way, his descendants will possess advanced martial souls, and based on this method of strengthening the origin, in a future generation, his descendants will definitely be able to obtain a top-tier martial soul, or even a super one.

I have already tested this on my disciple. Her martial soul was just Blue Silver Grass, but after hunting powerful spirit beasts of the same plant attribute and a hundred-year-old Blue Silver Vine, her martial soul also evolved into Blue Silver Vine.

Although it only reached the level of an ordinary martial soul, it was already a major breakthrough for Blue Silver Grass, a martial soul that was considered useless.

According to this theory, the reverse is also true. Therefore, the young master was stuck at level 30 and unable to break through because he absorbed the wrong soul ring.
