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

Chapter 164 Shrek's Genius (Please Subscribe!!!)

Xuan Ziwen's previous achievement was a preliminary summary of the basic elements of bone patterns. The research and development team analyzed the patterns of different soul bones in an attempt to explore a more complete system of basic elements.

I don't know how perfect it is now.

In addition, Xuan Ziwen also launched a very meaningful research project, which he called the Bone Tempering and Soul Nourishing Technique.

In addition, there is also Xuan Ziwen's ongoing research on the spiritual cultivation of spiritual metals.

A breakthrough in any aspect would be of great benefit to Su Yu.

Since Xuan Ziwen had gotten rid of Jing Hongchen and relayed the message to Su Yu, asking him to take a look, it must be beneficial to Su Yu.

Upon entering Xuan Ziwen's research lab, Su Yu saw Xuan Ziwen conducting research once again.

Although he was supposed to cultivate seriously for several years, Xuan Ziwen still spent his free time on research. In his words, if he couldn't do research all day, what was the point of living?

"Senior brother, I heard you've achieved another breakthrough."

The research lab granted Su Yu access to his ID card, allowing him to come and go as he pleased. Xuan Ziwen only noticed Su Yu's arrival when Su Yu spoke.

"Xiaoyu, you're here. Wait for me a moment, I'll finish making this sample first."

Su Yu wasn't in a hurry. While waiting for Xuan Ziwen to continue his work, he began to look through Xuan Ziwen's lab reports.

"Version 5.0 Bone Pattern Basic Element Table".

"Is it already at version 5.0?" Su Yu remarked on the rapid pace of updates to the Bone Pattern Basic Element Table.

This project has only been running for two years.

A major version is typically released every six months.

A major version change likely refers to a change in the arrangement rules of the element table itself, representing an overall layout optimization. Each major version change often signifies a deeper understanding and research into these fundamental elements.

In addition to major version updates, there are also minor version updates, which may come every one or two months.

It must be said that the bone pattern research team led by Xuan Ziwen is highly efficient.

Those Soul Masters in the Soul Bone and Soul Guidance Technology lineage are also quite good. With sufficient compensation and abundant experimental materials, their work efficiency is much higher than that of other Soul Masters.

Su Yu himself led a cultivation technique research institute. Although he didn't go there very often, he still had a basic impression of it and could sense the difference in the mental state of the two teams.

"This is the fifth version, which was just released a few days ago. The arrangement of the bone patterns is no longer based on length and complexity, but rather on the effects and relationships of the basic elements themselves. This is just the initial sample of the fifth version, and the arrangement in this aspect is not yet mature. It is estimated that we will have to wait until version 5.9 or 5.19 to organize the logic here more clearly?"

Xuan Ziwen had temporarily finished his work and was introducing the fifth edition of the basic element table to Su Yu.

"This version is expected to last for a long time, and studying the relationship between the basic elements is very meaningful for the study of bone patterns."

"This basic element table won't be very useful to you until the logic is clear. On the contrary, this taboo element table might be more suitable for you."

Xuan Ziwen pulled out one of the same forms from the reports beside him.

"A list of forbidden elements?" Su Yu wondered. When did this new project start?

"No, this also records some basic elements, but the difference is that these elements are not suitable for bone pattern cultivation, at least not for ordinary people." Xuan Ziwen dispelled Su Yu's doubts and began to introduce this forbidden element table.

"The basic elements in these forbidden element lists are added to the cultivation of bone patterns. This places high demands on the cultivator. Soul Masters with unsuitable physiques may not be able to withstand the effects, resulting in a situation where they are too weak to benefit from the nutrients, thus triggering a series of hidden dangers."

"These forbidden elements are present in many soul bones, but through our analysis, we have found that they are inseparable from powerful bloodlines based on their effects and characteristics. The bone patterns of soul bones produced by weak soul beasts basically do not contain these forbidden elements. Of course, if such soul beasts contain some kind of powerful bloodline, some of these forbidden elements may also be present."

Most forbidden elements are found on the soul bones of powerful soul beasts, which may be the key to their strong physiques, especially the soul bone you provided us, which contained the most forbidden elements.

Xuan Ziwen looked at Su Yu and sighed.

Just from the research on forbidden elements, one can see what Su Yu has actually obtained.

These soul bones would probably be snapped up if left out in the open.

The rewards for the Soul Battle Tournament include tiger-type soul bones, soul bones containing powerful ice-attribute soul power, and dragon-type soul beast soul bones.

"Especially the soul bones of the dragon-type soul beasts that you just gave us two months ago. Although they all seem to be sub-dragon species, the bloodlines of the soul beasts they were born with should be extremely pure, and the forbidden elements discovered there are the most."

The project to truly discover the special nature of forbidden elements and to list them separately began after obtaining the three dragon-like soul bones from Su Yu two months prior.

Dragon-type soul beasts truly live up to their reputation as the most powerful soul beast race. The forbidden elements they discovered from the three soul bones were even more numerous than those found by Xuan Ziwen and his team over the past two years.

"Senior brother, these forbidden elements can't be used by ordinary soul masters, but if one's physique is good enough, wouldn't the cultivation be more effective?" After listening to so much, Su Yu asked the key question related to his own cultivation.

Xuan Ziwen nodded and smiled, "Of course, they were originally listed as forbidden because their effects were too terrifying and ordinary soul masters' physiques couldn't withstand them. But for someone with your abnormal physique, the effects are naturally excellent."

"Then I'll take this list of forbidden elements."

"This was originally prepared as a backup for you."

Su Yu stored the form into his storage soul guide.

Once we get back, we'll try arranging the forbidden elements to create a new bone pattern tempering method.

There's also the tempering of flesh and blood; perhaps the tempering method for bone patterns could also be incorporated into the tempering of flesh and blood during the blood and qi explosion.

In the past, Su Yu did not incorporate his bone pattern cultivation into his flesh and blood tempering because he could not withstand it.

However, after observing two disciples of the Body Sect cultivating their Qi and Blood power outside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he comprehended the Qi and Blood Explosion Technique, which greatly improved both the speed of Qi and Blood cultivation and the speed of flesh and blood tempering.

The bloodline power refined previously improved the essence, but the improvement in specific strength was limited.

After all, it is only the power of bloodline, and the actual energy it contains is limited.

Using the Qi and Blood Explosion Technique, Su Yu will unleash the potential of his physical body after refining his bloodline as quickly as possible.

Now, after several months of training, he feels that he can incorporate bone tempering into the flesh and blood explosion technique as well.

"The list of forbidden elements is not yet fully compiled. The reason I had the hall master call you here is actually because of this."

Xuan Ziwen did not disappoint Su Yu; he took out another report.

The report was extensive, spanning over a hundred pages, and it wasn't an experimental record; it seemed to be a conclusion specifically intended for Su Yu's review.

"The idea of ​​tempering bones and nourishing the soul is feasible. Theoretical analysis has yielded results, and I have also obtained basic verification through tempering some common plants and animals."

After perfecting the technology in theory, Xuan Ziwen began to verify it using real organisms.

When an ordinary small animal transforms into a soul beast, the first step is the generation of soul power within its body.

It is possible to achieve this through long-term cultivation of soul power.

Of course, the most obvious difference between ordinary creatures and soul beasts lies in the strength of their souls.

The condensation of soul power is itself a kind of power generated under the influence of the soul and body of a living being.

Take Soul Masters as an example. Soul Power is the energy condensed with the assistance of Martial Soul, but the Martial Soul itself is related to the Soul Master's soul and physical body.

According to Xuan Ziwen's conjecture, the reason why a Soul Master's spiritual power can be improved slowly as they cultivate their Soul Power is because of this.

Similarly, each breakthrough in soul power strengthens the soul master's physique in the same way.

Tempering bones and nourishing the soul maximizes the connection between the soul power and the two, using the soul power as a bridge to better reflect the results of physical tempering onto the spiritual power.

"We've only just started using the rune system, huh?"

Xuan Ziwen's achievements are impressive, but everything is still based on runes.

He repeatedly remarked that the rune system Su Yu had discovered was a true treasure, as the effects that could be achieved through runes were simply too numerous.

Otherwise, with all the previous technologies, it would have been absolutely impossible to achieve the tempering of bones and nourishment of the soul.

Let alone bone tempering and soul nourishment, even the achievements Xuan Ziwen researched, such as battle armor technology, are impossible to realize.

Su Yu truly pioneered a fundamental system.

Su Yu spent a full hour reviewing the conclusions on bone tempering and soul nourishment.

Xuan Ziwen explained the research process and conclusions to him from the side.

Su Yu has a strong comprehension ability, especially with the blessing of the two Qingming runes, he can quickly digest these conclusions and what his senior brother said.

"This bone tempering and soul nourishing technique has been very helpful to me. Thank you, senior brother."

"Haha, you're welcome. The technologies we've developed are also beneficial to the Soul Master community."

Xuan Ziwen waved his hand, saying that he wasn't researching these things specifically for Su Yu.

He worked hard for the Soul Master world!

Su Yu left Xuan Ziwen's research lab with a wealth of knowledge and insights.

In addition to the forbidden element list and bone tempering and soul nourishing techniques, Xuan Ziwen also summarized many techniques for spiritual cultivation, which are very useful to Su Yu and can greatly improve his current cultivation efficiency.

As his soul power level, physical strength, and mental power increased, the efficiency of his previous cultivation methods gradually decreased.

With Xuan Ziwen's help, Su Yu's cultivation speed can catch up again.

"The deathly aura is getting denser and denser, and it hasn't developed any spirituality yet." Su Yu frowned as he examined the Sacred Soul Grass that he had transformed into an undead creature.

He felt a little uneasy. Could it be that his plan was not working?

"It's probably still not fully developed."

Even rare metals can awaken spirituality, so why can't the undead?

Mobilize the life force within the Blade of Life to completely envelop the grayish-white Sacred Soul Grass.

"Perhaps it's a problem with the growing environment."

The Sacred Soul Grass has harsh living conditions. There are very few suitable environments for its growth on the Douluo Continent. Only the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and nourishes it with immortal spiritual energy, making it suitable for the growth of most immortal herbs.

Su Yu couldn't possibly transplant this grayish-white Sacred Soul Grass back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, since he needed to observe and nurture it every day, and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye wasn't convenient for him.

Enveloped in vitality, the grayish-white Sacred Soul Grass, along with the level-seven soul tool bonsai below, was moved by Su Yu.

"Put it in the space of the Blade of Life and see the effect."

Within the space opened by the Blade of Life, life force is abundant, making it, besides the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, another place sufficient to meet the growth needs of the Sacred Soul Grass.

Previously, Su Yu was mainly concerned about whether it was appropriate to place undead creatures in the space of the Blade of Life.

Now I understand.

"It has always been nourished with life force, and the goal is to awaken the spirituality and vitality of this Death Soul Grass, and complete the transformation from death to life. Perhaps it would be better if the life force was more concentrated."

After dealing with the matter of the Sacred Soul Grass, Su Yu began his cultivation.

Put aside the matter of the level nine soul tool for now. First, we need to incorporate forbidden elements into our blood and qi cultivation, and also master the methods of bone tempering and soul nourishment.

Spiritual cultivation also needs to be upgraded.

"Let's do it simultaneously."

Shrek Academy.

Inner courtyard.

"Su Tong, you are Shrek Academy's biggest trump card this time. You must strive to break through before the Soul Fighting Tournament."

Xuanzi personally took charge of the instruction and spoke to the woman before him.

Su Tong, Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul, Ultimate Ice, Level 69 Soul Emperor!

Twenty years old!

The fact that he could cultivate his ultimate martial spirit to such a level on his own shocked all the powerful figures in the Sea God Pavilion.

With Su Tong, a fully-fledged combatant, joining the inner academy and passing all the assessments, Yan Shaozhe's biggest headache was solved.

With a Soul Saint-level ultimate martial soul in command, who else can claim that?

The Star Luo Empire, the Royal Family.

"Jiujiu, how's the Royal Academy team's training going this time?"

Xu Jiawei looked at his younger sister and asked her.

This Soul Fighting Tournament involves far too many factors.

He sighed for a long time and said, "Brother, although our Royal Academy has abundant resources, compared to Mingde Hall, it lacks top-notch soul guidance technology and doesn't have the gathering of geniuses from across the country. Compared to Shrek Academy, it lacks top-notch geniuses. Although the proportion of geniuses sent to Shrek Academy has decreased in recent years and been accepted by our Royal Academy, they still need at least another Soul Battle Tournament to grow into what they are today."

Xu Jiujiu felt very helpless.

This is what happens after being drained of blood by Shrek.

The top geniuses have all been drawn away.

In the past, it was fine, since the major powers of the various empires promoted this matter, and Shrek Academy was established because of it, but it also caused the local academies of the various empires to weaken.

Even with abundant resources, they can never compare to Shrek.

"Our strategy this time is very simple: we'll just be responsible for protecting Shrek Academy." Xu Jiawei sighed helplessly and said, "It's said that Shrek Academy is very confident in winning the championship this time, and has even sent seven students with Soul King or higher status to the Tang Sect team. Let's do our best to clear obstacles for them."
