Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

"Uncle Hao, what do you mean?" Chen Feng asked.

Tang Hao slowly said:

"Among the group of biological soul masters, some individuals have special martial souls. If these martial souls were placed in a group of soul beasts, they would be considered leader-level soul beasts."

"If the owners of these leader spirits are strong enough, they can gain the favor of spirit beasts of the same spirit type by virtue of their own spirit, which should meet your requirements."

"Dad, are you talking about someone like Mom?" Tang San asked.

“That’s right.” Tang Hao nodded. “But it’s not just Ah Yin. As far as I know, some humans can do it too, like the Phoenix Martial Soul among your classmates.”

"If you become powerful and your bloodline fully awakens in the future, you will also be able to gain the favor of Blue Silver Grass and even plant soul beast groups."

"Are we going to bring Fatty over here?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Bringing him here won't help. Dad just said that we need a Soul Master with sufficient strength." Tang San shook his head.

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, then looked at Dugu Bo beside him.

"Why are you looking at me?" Dugu Bo asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Senior, your martial soul perfectly meets the requirements,” Chen Feng said.

Dugu Bo was taken aback. "But I didn't feel any favor from any soul beasts."

"Have you ever tried it yourself, senior?"

"Of course not."

"That's it. You'll only know if you try it. Senior, your martial soul was the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor before, and now it has gone a step further and become the Hydra Monster Xiang Liu. As a leader of the serpents, you are definitely qualified." Chen Feng said with some excitement.

“It seems...that makes sense, but what should I do?” Dugu Bo looked at Tang Hao.

Tang Hao thought for a moment and said:

"It's about maintaining an approachable demeanor while exuding authority, but I don't know the specifics."

Dugu Bo looked troubled. "Exuding authority is fine, but maintaining approachability..."

"Senior, just treat Miss Dugu the same way you usually do," Chen Feng suggested.

"You want me to treat a soul beast like my own granddaughter?"

"No, how should I put it? It's about evoking that feeling, senior, you understand?"

Dugu Bo remained silent for a moment, then sighed and said:

"I'll give it a try. I don't know if all this fuss will yield any results."

"How about this, senior? If we really manage to create a soul bone, we'll give you the first one." Chen Feng started making grand promises.

"We'll see," Dugu Bo said noncommittally.

After saying that, he lightly leaped away from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

After seeing Dugu Bo leave, and waiting a little while longer, Chen Feng asked Tang Hao:

"Uncle Hao, has Poison Douluo left?"

"They've gone far, what's wrong?" Tang Hao asked.

Chen Feng turned to Xiao Wu and Tang San and said:

"Xiao Wu, stop concealing your aura, and then Xiao San, use your Purple Demon Eye to examine Xiao Wu."

"now?"

"Yes, as soon as possible."

"Okay." Tang San and Xiao Wu didn't know why, but they did as instructed.

Soon, Tang San's eyes, which were shining with a golden-purple light, widened.

"Xiao Wu, you..."

"What's wrong with me?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

"You look just like a rabbit."

"Huh?" Xiao Wu was still a little confused, while Chen Feng said without surprise:

"Xiao Wu, you can conceal your presence again."

"Oh." Xiao Wu sat down cross-legged and began to adjust her soul power.

After Tang San put away the Purple Demon Eye, he asked Chen Feng:

"Xiaofeng, why is this happening? Why does Xiaowu look like that when I see her?"

“My previous guess was that after the Purple Demon Eye advances to the Mustard Seed Realm, it can see some more essential things. And your observation of the phenomenon of the Thunder Essence Stone made me speculate that what you saw might be a certain quality emitted by things, a quality that the three of us have discussed before,” Chen Feng explained.

"You mean, frequency?" Tang San asked after a moment's thought.

Chen Feng nodded. "Yes, based on this trait, we have mastered Xiao Wu's technique of concealing her aura. Conversely, we can also verify whether my speculation is correct by observing the different phenomena you see before and after Xiao Wu removes her aura from concealment."

The essence of Xiao Wu's technique for concealing her aura is the adjustment of her own soul power frequency.

She displayed different frequencies of soul power, allowing Tang San to see different scenes from her. This is enough to prove that the strange phenomena seen by the Purple Demon Eye at the Mustard Seed Realm should be the soul power fluctuations emitted by things.

The original text says that an elder of the Tang Sect once reached the Mustard Seed Realm with his Purple Demon Eyes, but he did not achieve anything special. He could only see more clearly than the Microscopic Realm.

However, after Tang San's Purple Demon Eye advanced to the Mustard Seed Realm, he was not only able to see through Xiao Wu's true form, but also gained the ability to mentally attack her.

Chen Feng believes that this contradictory situation is due to the influence of the soul power in the Douluo World.

However, neither the Thunder Stone nor this metal sphere should possess soul power, so why can we still see strange phenomena? A question suddenly arose in Chen Feng's mind.

“Circuit… Soul Power…” he murmured these two words.

After a while, Chen Feng's gaze fell on Tang San's eyes.

He suddenly thought of a question: no matter how amazing the eye is, the fundamental reason it can see is that it receives light from the outside world.

Even if the Purple Demon Eye is incredibly powerful, it only extends the range of this light to the fluctuations of soul power.

In other words, Chen Feng can analyze the phenomenon of the Purple Demon Eye seeing circuits from the perspective of how the eye works.

When Chen Feng started thinking from this perspective, his previous doubts suddenly became clear.

The normal eye can distinguish the colors of objects that do not emit light because when light shines on an object, some of the light is absorbed by the object's surface when it is reflected into the eye.

If we compare soul power to light, and the circuits within the Thunder Stone and the metal sphere to colors, then the reason why the Purple Demon Eye can see the illusory circuits might be because after the soul power comes into contact with the two, the circuits within them have some kind of influence on the soul power.

This influence was received by the Purple Demon Eye and became the illusory circuit that Tang San saw.

The reason why the metal ball couldn't see the circuit at first might be because the circuit needs to be charged before it can affect soul power.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng took out a black, uncharged Thunder Essence Stone from the Blood Sky and asked Tang San:

Can you see its circuit?

Tang San shook his head. "There's nothing there."

"As expected, this circuit can only be seen when it is charged." Chen Feng put the black lightning stone away again.

After solving the problem of why the Purple Demon Eye could see circuits and see through Xiao Wu's true form, Chen Feng had a new question in his mind.

Does that mean there are limits to the characteristics brought about by the circuit?

Is it possible to find any material, or even just a stone picked up from the roadside, and carve special circuits on it to give it various different properties?

The answer to this question can actually be found in the case of Dou Er.

Soul guidance technology in Douluo Continent II was already quite advanced, and at that time, soul guidance technology also had very high requirements for materials.

This suggests, to some extent, that not all materials can characterize circuits and thus possess a wide variety of properties.

The reason why the metal sphere can absorb lightning is probably because Chen Feng used Star Soul Mithril in the circuit.

It certainly couldn't be because of iron essence.

The question is, what kind of materials can acquire properties through a circuit, and what kind of materials cannot?

Figuring out this problem will probably take more than a short time.

When Edison was exploring suitable materials for light bulbs, he conducted 1600 experiments before finally choosing Japanese bamboo and inventing the carbon filament light bulb.

The transition from carbon filament bulbs to tungsten filament bulbs took several years and the efforts of many people.

Therefore, it is clear that the development of materials science may only rely on luck and persistent effort.

Fortunately, Chen Feng was not in a hurry to develop soul tools; he only wanted to create soul bones.

Once he could create the first soul bone and verify the feasibility of the artificial soul bone theory, he wouldn't need to worry about the remaining material exploration.

The vast community of Soul Masters will solve this problem themselves.

Chapter 144 Experiments and Reflections

Dugu Bo did not leave for long; he soon returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with one of the experimental subjects.

When Chen Feng saw the appearance of the soul beast he was holding, he was stunned for a moment.

"White, the white snake?"

Yes, what Dugu Bo was holding in his hand at that moment was a long snake with a completely silvery-white body.

The long snake was as thick as a bowl, and its entire body was wrapped around Dugu Bo's shoulders and arms.

Rather than saying it was held in Dugu Bo's hands, it would be more accurate to say it actively relied on Dugu Bo.

And on the forehead of this long snake, there is a small, single horn.

This horn is also silver, and it has twists and turns in the middle, somewhat resembling the shape of a lightning bolt, which looks quite strange.

In addition, the snake has two rows of folded, fin-like organs on its back.

When the snake moves at high speed, these fin-like organs help it break through the air and even allow it to take flight.

Having seen many soul beast illustrations, Chen Feng knew that this snake was called the Silver Lightning Flying Serpent.

When it moves at full speed, it's like a silver lightning bolt streaking across the sky.

Moreover, this kind of spirit beast also possesses the power to control lightning, mainly relying on the silver horn on its head.

The reason Chen Feng paused for a moment after seeing the snake was because he remembered that Dugu Bo also kept a nine-section jade snake.

The color of that nine-section jadeite is somewhat similar to cyan, and with the white snake now, could it be that Dugu Bo is going to form a bond between the cyan and white snakes and perform a play of "The Legend of the White Snake"?

Suppressing his wild thoughts, Chen Feng said to Dugu Bo:

"I thought you would bring back a Jade Phosphorous Serpent, since that kind of spirit beast is closer to your spirit, which should be beneficial for communication."

“That was indeed what I was thinking, but then I realized something.” Dugu Bo put the white snake off his body.

Then he pointed to the metal ball in Chen Feng's hand and said:

"We don't have many circuits right now. We only have the circuits for the Thunder Stone and the storage soul tool. The latter is related to space, so we won't go into that. As for the former, if we want to make it into a soul bone, I feel that a thunder-attribute soul beast would be more suitable. I just happened to come across this ten-thousand-year-old silver lightning flying snake, so I brought it back."

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow but said nothing. He also felt that there should be compatibility between circuits and soul beasts, but for the sake of experimental rigor, different types of circuits and soul beasts should also be tested.

However, since Dugu Bo has already found a lightning-attribute soul beast, it wouldn't be a bad idea to start experimenting with similar circuits and soul beasts directly.

This way, they can first verify whether their previous ideas were correct. Once it is confirmed that soul bones can be artificially made, it will not be too late to conduct expanded experiments.

"Then let's begin." Chen Feng and Tang San began preparing for the experiment.

Dugu Bo then took out a bottle and began to bleed the Silver Lightning Flying Serpent, attempting to communicate with this ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

When a soul beast reaches the age of ten thousand years, its intelligence will be awakened, and it will become more intelligent.

But no matter how intelligent they are, they cannot learn human language in a short period of time.

Therefore, Dugu Bo's reliance on language as a means of communication naturally resulted in a very unsuccessful attempt.

Fortunately, he was powerful and his martial soul was once the king of snakes. Now he has gone a step further and become Xiang Liu. So even though the Silver Lightning Flying Serpent could not understand him, it was still obedient.

Seeing that Dugu Bo's communication efforts were in trouble, Chen Feng stepped forward to remind him:

"Senior, it would be better to communicate with the soul beast using actions."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Dugu Bo's face. "I don't know how to do this."

"It's alright, I know how." Chen Feng immediately used his traditional skill, which was body language specifically for dealing with soul beasts.

It must be said that he has a talent in this area. His body language is clear and easy to understand, and even the Flying Thunder Mouse gave it high praise.
