Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 384 Skills that All Martial Souls Come With Themselves

When Zhu Zhuqing asked about the choice of the seventh, eighth, and ninth spirit rings, Tang San said, "The seventh spirit ring can only give you a Martial Soul True Body, so it's not that important."

Just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Nine Heart Begonia, whose spirit skills are fixed after obtaining spirit rings, the other spirits also have a built-in skill: Spirit True Form.

Unless the seventh spirit ring is 100,000 years old and has a second spirit skill, absorbing a spirit ring from any kind of spirit beast will only result in a martial spirit true body.

This is an ability that a martial soul can automatically awaken when it grows to a certain level (Soul Saint). However, due to the rules of this world, it can only be used after obtaining a soul ring.

According to Tang San's research on the Soul Saint within his Martial Soul, and by comparing his own and Xiao Wu's situations, he discovered that the seventh Soul Ring would not provide any meaningful bonus if it was not of the same type as his Martial Soul.

After receiving Ah Lan's soul ring condensation and sacrifice, his Blue Silver Emperor underwent a further transformation, becoming the Blue Silver Emperor; Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit also underwent a further transformation after condensing all of her own essence, giving it a soul skill called Soft Bone Dharma Form.

Of course, both of these factors may be related to the fact that their previous spirit rings were able to be combined and matched quite perfectly.

However, choosing a spirit beast of the same type as one's own spirit beast for the seventh spirit ring does indeed provide a significant boost, while for weapon spirit beasts, the boost is only applied to the corresponding attributes of the spirit beast.

In this respect, weapon spirits are slightly weaker, but correspondingly, weapon spirits focus on attributes such as strength, defense, and sharpness at the Soul Saint stage, so they are stronger than beast spirits of the same quality in these aspects.

"So, should I choose the Netherworld Cat for my seventh spirit ring?" Zhu Zhuqing asked thoughtfully. "A ten-thousand-year-old Netherworld Cat is hard to find."

"That's alright, the age of the spirit rings isn't a problem." Tang San's seventh spirit ring can automatically increase its age as her cultivation level improves, and A Lan will also actively help her improve it. As long as we understand the principle behind it, having nine 100,000-year spirit rings in the future is not a dream!

Higher-age spirit rings have more and denser spirit power flow paths, making it easier and faster for spirit masters to use spirit skills. Moreover, higher-age spirit rings consume less spirit power when using spirit skills compared to lower-age spirit rings.

However, its power does not increase with the age of the spirit ring; it mainly improves the efficiency of spirit power usage.

"Can they even do something like increasing the age of a spirit ring?" Zhu Zhuqing was shocked.

"It will take quite some time to figure out the principle, but if it's just about increasing the age of the spirit ring, it's not difficult. It should be achievable in a few days."

Where does Tang San's confidence come from?

It's naturally Xiao Wu.

The spatial domain can sense the spaces left behind by the Soft Bone Rabbits of past generations. Those spaces have now formed a world similar to a demiplane, and there are creatures similar to soul beasts inside.

Without a doubt, that should be the predecessor of the Spirit Ascension Platform space in Douluo Continent III.

Killing the spirit beasts there can yield a certain energy that can be used to increase the age of a spirit ring, but it also requires a certain level of mental strength from the spirit master, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the energy of those spirit beasts.

"Is it a soul beast from that space?" Xiao Wu realized something and stopped staring at Gu Yuena, joining the conversation.

"That's right, that space is still growing. I estimate that everything inside is energy, so the physical body cannot enter; only spiritual power can."

Tang San said, "Everything there is formed from energy, so that kind of energy can naturally be absorbed... On the way back, when we were alone, didn't I study it? That kind of energy is very similar to the energy used to increase the age of my seventh spirit ring. It can most likely also be used to increase the age, and the efficiency is much higher than that of my seventh spirit ring."

"The method of allowing other people's spirits to enter still needs some research... Connecting with my starry world might speed up the process."

Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly. The magic of the Blue Silver Network lies in the fact that, with the permission granted by Tang San, it can obtain the authority to communicate with mental energy, and even enter the Starry Sky World with Tang San's approval.

That world can change at will according to one's imagination, just like a dream. Moreover, staying in it for a long time can passively temper one's spiritual power, making it of higher quality.

Without the key to enter the energy plane that she sensed in her spatial domain, ordinary soul masters, even those at level ninety-nine, would not be able to detect its existence.

Zhu Zhuqing had no idea what the two were discussing, but it seemed to be something about connecting the two spaces together.

Gu Yuena understood something and was surprised and delighted that Xiao Wu had obtained an energy plane—although Xiao Wu showed no respect for her as the sovereign, and was no longer a soul beast, Gu Yuena still recognized this "subject." After all, Xiao Wu was born into the Soft Bone Rabbit clan, a lineage of soul beasts, and that fact could never be changed.

"Speaking of which, who is this child? Is she your and Xiao Wu's daughter?" Zhu Zhuqing snapped out of her reverie and asked curiously when she saw Gu Yuena looking thoughtful.

"That's right, this is my daughter with Tang San, hahaha!" Xiao Wu raised her hand to touch the head of the stunned Gu Yuena, looking at her face with a playful expression, taking advantage of the Lord of Soul Beasts.

This made Gu Yuena so angry that her whole face turned red!

This woman in the dark purple leather jacket, with such a commotion, how can her eyesight be so poor? How could she possibly be Tang San's daughter? And this damn rabbit, it's really asking for trouble, daring to touch her head like that!

"Ahem!" Tang San coughed and said, "What are you talking about? When Xiao Wu and I graduated, we were only fourteen or fifteen years old. Only three years have passed since then. Does this girl look like a three-year-old?"

"I'm nine years old." Gu Yuena slapped away Xiao Wu's hand that was pressing on her head, glared at Xiao Wu fiercely, and then looked up at those breasts. "If Tang San were my father, he would have gotten Xiao Wu pregnant when she was eight years old."

Xiao Wu scolded, "You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Yuena chuckled coldly: "In front of me, you're the little brat."

"Oh ho, looks like if I don't teach you a lesson, I don't know who's in charge here!" Xiao Wu's eyes were sharp, and in an instant she attacked Gu Yuena's armpits, tickling her lightly or heavily according to the techniques Tang San taught her, which made Gu Yuena burst into laughter, and her pretty little face showed a funny expression.

Tang San did not stop him, but silently raised his hand and touched the left frame of the detection glasses.

Tang San had slightly modified these detection glasses, giving them the functions of taking photos and recording videos. Just now, he recorded Gu Yuena's moment.

[Silver Dragon King's utterly devastated expression:)*`)`)*`)*]

Worth collecting!

Zhu Zhuqing realized she had misunderstood something and blushed. But she also noticed that this nine-year-old girl was unusually mature for her age, and seemed to be the same type as Xiao Wu. A sense of longing arose in her heart: "I really envy this kind of life. Living with Third Brother must be very happy and blissful."

The higher the age of the soul ring, the less soul power is consumed when using soul skills.

The setting comes from Chapter 226 of the original work: Time Travel, Double, and the Light of the Sea God.

The main character is Ning Rongrong.
