Douluo Continent: The Heavenly Book Transforms into Mortals

Chapter 64 Xiao Zhan: This is all I can do to help (Please add to your favorites!!! Please continue reading!!!)

The only problem is that the Stone Golem's attributes don't really match the book.

What attracted Su Wen was that almost innate racial ability to recombine and reassemble.

The stone monster can merge with rocks or separate itself, and each piece of rock that separates can potentially become its body.

In combat, it perfectly matches Su Wen's requirements.

Manipulating rocks to form combo attacks, even fusing with rocks to greatly enhance oneself, and even forming combined attacks between multiple rock monsters.

After learning about the stone monster clan in Sunset Forest from Dugu Yan, Su Wen invited her to help him hunt soul beasts.

Dugu Yan did not refuse.

"It just so happens that I didn't go back to see Grandpa."

Su Wen was secretly delighted.

That's great! I can go home with you to see your grandfather.

"By the way, Xiaowen, was it Teacher Xiao Zhan who helped you hunt the soul beasts this time?" Dugu Yan asked.

Su Wen nodded.

This is something I'll have to trouble Xiao Zhan with.

"Let's set off tomorrow then."

"it is good."

the next day.

Su Wen, Xiao Zhan, and Dugu Yan left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The academy is located on a mountain on the outskirts of Tiandou City, between Sunset Forest and Tiandou City.

The two sides were very close.

They set off in the morning and arrived at the outermost edge of Sunset Forest in the evening.

"Sister Yan, is your home in the Soul Beast Forest?"

"Of course not." Dugu Yan rolled her eyes.

Who lives in the Soul Beast Forest?

"My home is in Tiandou City, but my grandfather is usually cultivating in Sunset Forest at this time of year, so I have to come here to find him."

Although it's inconvenient to settle down in Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo's poison can still delineate a certain area. When he senses Dugu Yan approaching, he will exit his cultivation state.

"Xiao Wen, are you sure you want to choose the Stone Monster?" Xiao Zhan had asked Su Wen countless times.

"Yes, it's confirmed."

"However, apart from the combination skill you want, the Stone Monster isn't very compatible with you in other aspects," Xiao Zhan advised. "If you want to obtain a combination-type soul skill, I still suggest you look for a target like the Sword-Scaled Dragon."

The scales are like swords, and can even be released to form a sword domain that falls down.

Of course, the combined effect is even smaller.

"Don't you also possess the fighting style of folding paper into swords? If it's Sword Scale Dragon, you could easily obtain a soul skill similar to Ten Thousand Swords Return to One."

Su Wen shook his head.

"Uncle Zhan, the Paper Sword Technique was just a transitional technique I used at the beginning. Its potential is too low. The material of the pages themselves determines that a paper sword can never compare to a real sword."

What is the biggest advantage of the Sword Martial Soul?

Is it the sword itself?

No, it's sword energy.

Su Wen's paper sword was merely an imitation of the shape of a sword.

It's just a matter of convenience; it may be a shortcut to achieve the sharpness of a sword, but it can never create a true sword.

Nowadays, Su Wen's previous paper-escape technique is mostly used by him to attach flames for attacks.

He inscribed fire element control patterns on the paper sword to help him remotely manipulate the fire element.

Alternatively, a fireball can be carried on a paper sword to make it easier to control its trajectory.

"Furthermore, by absorbing the stone monster's spirit ring, I'll most likely gain abilities similar to controlling earth elements."

Aside from combo moves, if you don't have good compatibility with the Stone Golem, then try to acquire the Stone Golem's special ability.

The Book of Martial Spirits is highly inclusive.

Su Wen's elemental control is based on his own elemental affinity, which he brings out through his second soul skill. His second soul skill is not the control of wind and fire elements.

Therefore, if the subsequent soul rings he absorbs can grant him elemental affinity for a certain attribute, he can also master the corresponding attribute through his second soul skill.

"Sigh." Xiao Zhan sighed.

He could tell that Su Wen had made up his mind.

Even if he didn't understand, he respected Su Wen's idea.

"In that case, pay attention to these aspects when you absorb the spirit ring later."

He began to teach Su Wen some of his experience in absorbing spirit rings from martial spirits.

When the same type of spirit beast's spirit ring is absorbed by a spirit master with the same martial spirit, the resulting spirit skills may differ.

Besides the spirit beast from which the spirit ring originates and the spirit master's own focus, the details during the absorption process also have an impact.

It's just very rare.

Or rather, the experience has not circulated outside the community.

Soul masters with the White Tiger Martial Soul need to absorb a specific type of Soul Beast and then use specific techniques to absorb it, in order to reliably obtain the same Soul Skill.

The same applies to Soul Masters with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul; by absorbing lightning-attribute dragon Soul Beasts, they can generally obtain specific Soul Skills.

The reason why the inherited soul skills of the soul masters within the sect often overlap is because they have mastered the techniques.

The points that Xiao Zhan is reminding Su Wen of now are all summaries he made when he was absorbing soul rings before.

"You can focus on sensing your own martial soul while absorbing it, actively integrating it into the soul ring, and then trying to encompass it. With the martial soul's ability to record information, you should be able to do these things."

This is Xiao Zhan's summary of the energy transformation of martial spirits.

However, the difference is that Su Wen's martial soul is very unlikely to undergo a transformation similar to energy transformation as a result.

"In this way, your martial soul can also be petrified. However, due to the compatibility between rocks and books, it will not be completely petrified; it is more likely that it will be a state that is acquired."

"Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that in this way you might also gain the ability to control the earth element."

Even if the third soul skill is not earth element control, there is still a chance to create a chain reaction with Su Wen's second soul skill.

In addition, Su Wen developed his second soul skill, and the book's martial soul itself possessed the ability to record information.

There is absolutely a chance.

This is also the reason that Xiao Zhan could think of for Su Wen's insistence on choosing the stone monster as his third soul ring target.

The elements of wind and fire are no longer enough for this kid.

He also wanted to master more types of elements.

Seeing that Su Wen didn't seem very surprised, Dugu Yan thought to herself, "Maybe Xiao Wen thought the same thing at first? Well, after all, Teacher Xiao Zhan is only a 'half-baked' scholar who focuses on the convenience of martial souls, while Su Wen is a genuine researcher of theory."

"You guys who study theory are really amazing." Dugu Yan thought it was pretty impressive.

I don't fully understand the fundamental principles, but logically I can tell that Xiao Zhan's statements are perfectly reasonable.

So, when these theoretical scholars add soul rings to themselves, they can even consider mutating their previous soul skills?

My goodness!

When I obtained spirit rings in the past, I always thought about what type of spirit ring I should choose.

I never imagined that through what means or techniques I could guide and influence my martial soul to transform, and then use that transformation to trigger mutations in my other existing soul skills.

It's idealistic, but what if it actually comes true?

This was the plan and goal from the very beginning, and the probability of success was definitely much better than relying entirely on luck.

Dugu Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for the academic profession.

The difference between having a good scholar to help with planning and relying on luck or a hunch to acquire a soul ring is truly huge.
