Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 109 You want money? I have plenty! (Please read on!!!)

the next day.

Su Yu arrived at Xuan Ziwen's office.

At this moment, Xuan Ziwen was waiting specifically for Su Yu's arrival.

He pondered for a long time yesterday and came up with some plans for bone pattern research.

"Xiaoyu, you're here. Take a look at the plan I made yesterday."

It must be said that Xuan Ziwen's talent in research is off the charts. Apart from Su Yu, who has an exceptionally high level of comprehension, his research and innovation capabilities are probably among the top in the entire Douluo Continent generation.

Xuan Ziwen's research and innovations are characterized by a planned approach.

Everything he did was based on reason and evidence, and he conducted all his research in a systematic and organized manner.

Just like the spiritual research report that Su Yu saw yesterday, Xuan Ziwen's grouping in the experiment was based on evidence and could clearly lead to scientific conclusions.

Even in just one night, Xuan Ziwen had managed to develop a nearly clear direction for his research on bone patterns.

"The bone patterns you mentioned are certainly not limited to strengthening bones."

While strengthening our bones, we should also explore the direction of developing spiritual bones.

Further research into the flesh and blood inscriptions is not necessary for the time being.

"The patterns involved in the soul bone are much more complex."

Fortunately, there are schools of thought within the soul tool field that specialize in researching soul bones.

Su Yu nodded. Last time during the Soul Battle Tournament, Mingde Hall auctioned off an eighth-level Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade.

The Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade was made from a piece of flawed soul bone. It not only retains the soul skills within the soul bone, but also has a stronger effect after being activated by the core magic array, and its consumption is greatly reduced.

It's equivalent to solidifying a soul skill onto a soul tool.

The fact that Mingdetang could put it up for auction, while intended to showcase its expertise in soul tools, also reflects the fact that it was a technology that had been phased out.

Even if the technology is learned, Mingdetang won't be too bothered.

In fact, this is the hidden source of their confidence.

"When it comes to bone pattern research, we probably can't avoid the soul bone and soul guidance systems."

Su Yu sensed a hint of embarrassment in Xuan Ziwen's tone.

It seems those guys who specialize in the soul bone system are quite difficult to deal with.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother? Is it because those Soul Masters are hard to invite? Or are they just odd personalities?"

Xuan Ziwen shook his head, his expression somewhat strange.

"They don't have these problems, but you need money to get their help."

"Especially for our research on bone patterns, if we were to invite them, we would probably have to pay extra."

Soul bone and soul guidance technology is the most expensive among all the schools of soul guidance devices.

Those Soul Masters aren't exactly destitute now, but most of their wealth isn't earned from their own Soul Tools; rather, it's accumulated from extra commissions and dowries.

They were truly broke because of their research into soul guidance technology.

So if you try to reason with them about righteousness, they will never listen.

They only care about money.

"Moreover, the bone pattern system we are studying is more special, and we estimate that they will ask us to bear all the expenses."

We also need to provide the estimated amount of soul bones required for the research.

The salary can't be less.

Of course, these guys also have a good reputation and are able to keep things absolutely confidential.

Furthermore, since they are both soul masters of Mingde Hall, having the hall master witness it won't lead to any unexpected problems.

Su Yu, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is it just a soul bone?"

From what Xuan Ziwen said, he basically just wanted money. And it would be even better if that money were converted into soul bones.

Xuan Ziwen looked at his junior brother speechlessly.

Just a soul bone?

Look at you, are you even speaking human language?

Su Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

I didn't absorb either the 100,000-year-old soul bone or the 200,000-year-old ferocious beast soul bone.

For this bone pattern system, these two investments alone are absolutely enough to make Su Yu unable to turn back.

Besides, Su Yu is not lacking in soul bones.

Inside Dragon Valley, Su Yu did not touch the dragon bones in the Dragon Graveyard. There were dragons watching over them, and Su Yu dared not touch them unless they were given to him voluntarily.

Moreover, Electrolux explicitly reminded Su Yu not to move.

However, outside the Dragon Graveyard and on the outskirts of Dragon Valley, there are also quite a few soul bones of decent quality.

Su Yu picked up a total of nine soul bones, six of which were over ten thousand years old and three were around five thousand years old.

Moreover, they are all soul bones left behind by soul beasts of the sub-dragon genus.

Su Yu's research into the bone pattern system, moving closer to the dragon race, is a good research direction. These nine dragon soul bones are definitely a good starting capital.

As for the extra salary, Su Yu could also put his long-stored ten-thousand-year-old soul bone to good use.

The winning team of the Soul Battle Tournament will receive three Soul Bones as a reward.

A year ago, when the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy won the championship, Su Yu was assigned a soul bone, which he has not used yet. It seems to be a tiger-type soul bone.

"You don't need to worry about the soul bone, Senior Brother. Just go and ask them for help."

Su Yu first handed over the soul bone that the tournament champion had been allocated to Xuan Ziwen, asking him to use his connections.

This tiger-like spirit bone is quite interesting to study.

"Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu are a big problem if they are kept in Mingdetang. It would be better to exchange them for something more practical."

The Body Sect could launch a surprise attack on the Mingde Hall headquarters, and Shrek Academy could certainly do the same.

They're capable of even blowing up an arms depot; there's no one crazier than them.

Shrek Academy usually endures things for the sake of the academy, but if they can't even rescue a vice-principal who is imprisoned, the academy's reputation will suffer a major loss, and they will definitely not hesitate to take the risk.

Moreover, unlike the brutes of the Body Sect, if Shrek Academy were to actually attack Mingde Hall to rescue Qian Duoduo and his companion, they would definitely not do it for just these things.

"The Soul Battle Tournament is held every five years, and for ten thousand years, the championship has been dominated by Shrek Academy. They must have an abundance of soul bones."

Xuan Ziwen was speechless when he heard Su Yu say that.

Do you think you can just run in and let someone else snatch it away?

"There aren't that many soul bones."

After Shrek won, the prize money was distributed among the participating students, but less than half of those students remained with Shrek.

In each generation of Shrek Seven Devils, it's considered a great achievement if three of them stay in the Inner Academy to develop their skills.

Those who leave Shrek Academy will return to Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Moreover, even the soul bones of students who remain in the inner academy will be recycled after their death and used to cultivate the next generation, thus creating a new Shrek Seven Devils.

Or perhaps they were simply awarded as a reward during their freshman assessment, but the recipients did not meet the requirements for the Shrek Seven Devils and ultimately flowed back into the various forces of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

The accumulated soul bones won't be too outrageous.

The real loser in this process is our Sun and Moon Empire.

Because no matter what, the soul bone will not flow back to us.

The total number of soul bones is actually roughly fixed.

With repeated losses and the need to allocate funds for rewards, it was natural to source goods from Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Xuan Ziwen seemed to be very familiar with this process.

"Otherwise, how do you think the soul tools in Douluo Three Kingdoms were initially developed?"

They all rely on transactions with our Sun Moon Empire.

Xuan Ziwen looked at Su Yu with an expression that seemed to say, "You haven't studied this, have you?"

This is a case explained in the Soul Master textbook of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Back then, I also skipped grades. Everyone has their own genius, but I was very familiar with the textbooks.

"Even so, Shrek Academy will still have a lot of soul bones," Su Yu insisted.

The total number of soul bones is basically fixed, but that is fixed at the same time.

Over thousands of years, this fixed total number has been slowly increasing.

The Shrek Academy, with its millennia-long heritage, is the place where the most terrifying things have accumulated over this process.

Each generation of them has at least double-digit titled Douluo, at least five members of the Sea God Pavilion, and each of them has at least five ten-thousand-year soul rings.

A soul bone is guaranteed to drop every 100,000 years, while the drop rate is higher every 10,000 years, but this probability is actually much higher than that of a thousand years.

The chance of a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone exploding is at least 10%, if not 50%.

With this 10% chance, at least two of the five elders possess soul bones.

Even if we consider a generation to be three hundred years, the accumulation of this item alone would amount to sixty or seventy yuan.

Not to mention that as these members of the Sea God Pavilion grow up, they will also collect other soul bones through various other means.

It's truly rare to find a member of the Sea God Pavilion who doesn't even have a single soul bone.

"Senior brother, you must understand that value is not static. What matters most is the measure we take in people's minds."

Trading money for Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu might be a bad deal, as getting a top-tier soul bone worth ten or twenty yuan would be a waste.

However, this also depends on the situation.

Su Yu did not discuss the details of this matter with Xuan Ziwen.

"Senior brother, you can leave the matter of the soul bone to me. You just need to communicate with the people in the soul bone and soul guidance technology faction."

Seeing that Su Yu was full of confidence, Xuan Ziwen did not refute him.

Soul bones are precious, but if Su Yu makes such a guarantee, Xuan Ziwen is still willing to believe him.

Putting everything else aside, Su Yu's intrinsic value far exceeds that of these soul bones.

Neither Kong Deming nor Jing Hongchen are stingy with their investments.

"By the way, senior brother, take this seed of life with you; I think they'll be interested."

Before leaving, Su Yu gave Xuan Ziwen a seed.

This is a life seed that he formed after compressing his soul power with the help of the Blue Silver Seed.

Its main purpose is to restore all states of being, whether it's mental or physical fatigue. As long as you carry this seed, nothing will be a problem.

Moreover, it can subtly enhance the physique of a Soul Master.

With the soul power solidified, this seed will have an effect for at least a month.

Su Yu absorbed the 200,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, and the soul bone from the process was used by Electrolux to refine it into the Blue Silver Seed.

The greatest effect of the Blue Silver Seed is that it can be used in conjunction with Su Yu's sixth soul ring to unleash the resurrection-type soul skill, Undying Blue Silver.

However, in addition to this, he also possesses an additional soul skill, namely the Seed of Life.

Su Yu compressed and condensed his soul power into a seed of life using this soul skill.

Among the soul skills brought by the sixth soul ring, in addition to the Undying Blue Silver, Su Yu also obtained a soul skill called "All Rivers Run into the Sea".

This soul skill is a recovery skill, and unlike the first soul skill, Star Spirit Power, it is an instant recovery soul skill.

Absorbing all external energy restores one's own soul power and spiritual power, and can also restore vitality.

The power of the Protoss may need time to accumulate and take effect.

However, the ocean doesn't need to do that; it instantly and forcefully absorbs all the surrounding energy to restore its own state.

The Seed of Life has the effect of restoring all fatigue in the mind and body, and it also has the effect of embracing all things.

At the same time, the "All Rivers Run into the Sea" feature can also be used in conjunction with the Blue Silver Domain.

Xuan Ziwen took the seed of life and his eyes widened immediately.

A surge of life force flowed through my body, sweeping away all fatigue.

This feeling intoxicated him.

For a researcher who spends long hours working overtime to develop soul tools, this is simply a godsend!

"Can you mass-produce this?"

Xuan Ziwen stammered.

Su Yu shook his head.

"Mass production is definitely not possible."

This requires me to gather my soul power and life force.

Moreover, a seed only lasts for one month.

Without interfering with my normal cultivation and research, I can probably condense a maximum of five per month.

Xuan Ziwen was envious.

Five!

"Xiaoyu, my dear junior brother, you must leave me a seed of life in the future."

Su Yu felt a little uncomfortable from being shaken by Xuan Ziwen, so he quickly agreed.

To be honest, Su Yu rarely felt tired after becoming a Soul Master.

Many Soul Masters are indeed like him; even if they stay up for three days and three nights, they don't feel noticeably tired.

However, it is different for Soul Masters; the mental energy they consume in their research is a rather painful thing.

Su Yu was alright. His life attribute was overflowing. Even though his mental strength was reduced to less than 10% after the research, his physical condition was still good. After a good night's sleep, his mental strength recovered by more than half thanks to the nourishment of his life force.

Other Soul Masters didn't have such good conditions as him.

Especially the soul mentors who are devoted to research.

"I dare say that this seed of life alone is enough to attract those snobs."

Xuan Ziwen promised that one seed of life would be given to those money-grubbing bastards every month, and they would be tempted.

Su Yu hadn't expected the Seed of Life to be so attractive.

But this is not bad either.

"My initial thought was simply to help you get back into shape so we could see results faster."

Su Yu felt guilty and quickly left Xuan Ziwen's research room.

Su Yu was relieved to leave the research on bone patterns to Xuan Ziwen, allowing him to focus on his attempt to become an eighth-level Soul Master.

Kong Deming also learned that he was going to attempt to become an eighth-level Soul Master, and gave him some materials on the theory of eighth-level Soul Mastery.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

While focusing all his efforts on researching soul tools, Su Yu did not neglect other conventional cultivation methods such as soul power.

It can only be said that most of the development work was halted to focus on researching soul tools.

Even so, despite being a Soul Emperor, he only increased his Soul Power by one level in the past six months, breaking through four months after he began his ascension.

The research on the bone pattern system is also progressing smoothly.

Xuan Ziwen summoned three level-eight soul masters from the soul bone and soul guidance technology factions to steadily advance the bone pattern system.

Su Yu also began cultivating bone patterns based on this foundation.

Initial results have been achieved in the past six months.

Not to mention the transformation of the bones into the level of soul bones, there has been a qualitative improvement in physique, and the power of qi and blood is extremely vigorous.

This chapter is a bit late, sorry! I was organizing the outline and went to bed too late, so I didn't get up until almost midnight.

I just finished writing this chapter, and I'm currently writing the next one.

It should be ready before 6 PM if all goes well.

There's one more chapter at 10 o'clock.

Some members in the group suggested that we update earlier in the future, instead of always posting at night. Do any other members have any objections? I'm asking here.

I'll update randomly during the day, at 6 PM and 10 PM, for a total of three chapters. Is this update schedule acceptable?
