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

In fact, Chen Feng now regrets practicing Tai Chi swordsmanship. He thinks that it might be because he has been practicing swordsmanship that he awakened a sword martial spirit.

This idea is of course unreasonable, because we all know that martial spirits are inherited through bloodlines.

The idea that practicing swordsmanship can awaken a sword spirit is pure nonsense and has no logic whatsoever.

After finishing his sword practice for the day, Chen Feng put away his martial spirit and greeted the boy in gray:

"Good morning, Xiao San. You're really diligent, coming here every day without fail."

"Good morning, Xiaofeng, aren't you the same? I've never seen you miss a single one." The boy in gray stood up and dusted himself off. "And you always arrive before me, and you were the one who found this place first."

"Hey, I arrived first because it takes me longer to practice swordsmanship than you do. Besides, dawn is the time when yin and yang are divided, and that's when the effect of practicing swordsmanship is the best."

Chen Feng sat down next to Tang San. "By the way, you told Grandpa yesterday you wanted to talk to me. What did you want to talk about?"

"Of course, we're here to talk about martial souls." Tang San looked at Chen Feng with a serious expression. "Your expression was off after you awakened your martial soul yesterday. What happened? Is there something wrong with your martial soul?"

"It is true... there was a small problem, but don't worry, I can handle it," Chen Feng said with a forced smile.

Tang San stared at Chen Feng's face. After a while, he sighed and said, "You used to say we were good friends, but your current behavior doesn't seem like you consider me a friend."

Chen Feng looked at the ground, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice:

"Okay, the problem is actually quite big, but I've already come up with a solution."

"Can you tell me about it? Of course, if it involves the secrets of your martial soul, then forget it," Tang San said.

"It's not really a secret." Chen Feng shook his head, then briefly explained the problem with his martial soul.

"That's the situation. I've decided to conduct research on martial spirits and find ways to promote their evolution so that high-quality blood can be obtained more easily. I'll use this method to repair my own martial spirit."

"I see." Tang San nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Is there anything I can do? My Blue Silver Grass is a plant-type martial soul, does that meet the requirements?"

“That does fit, but are you willing to cooperate with my research? Theoretically speaking, I am confident that I can help your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul evolve, but this is related to your future. Are you willing to do things my way?” Chen Feng asked in return.

He looked at Tang San's youthful face, observing every expression on that face and the look in those bright eyes.

Chen Feng knew that Tang San's reaction at this moment would show how effective his efforts over the past few years had been, and would also affect his future attitude towards Tang San, as well as the future of his martial soul.

The next moment, Tang San spoke without the slightest hesitation:

"Isn't this the obvious thing to do? We're good friends. Your martial soul is having problems right now, and I can help you. Would I refuse?"

"Moreover, if my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could evolve, it would be of great benefit to me. I couldn't refuse it for either reason or emotion. But you'd better explain your plan to me first."

Upon hearing Tang San's answer, Chen Feng smiled happily:

"Of course, I will convince you with my plan."

"If you can't convince me, don't blame me for not listening to you," Tang San said with a smile.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Oh? You're quite confident. Why don't you analyze my martial soul first and let me see your level?"

Chapter 5 Analysis and Discussion

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Chen Feng immediately raised an eyebrow.

"Are you sure you want me to analyze your martial soul? Don't blame me if I say something I shouldn't."

Tang San shook his head. "There's nothing I shouldn't say. Even if you can't figure anything out today, I still plan to tell you some things so you can give me some advice."

"Hiss~ What will happen after we finish the consultation? I think this place is in the middle of nowhere, it seems like a good place to kill someone and cover it up." Chen Feng made a scared expression.

Tang San was speechless. "You're overthinking it. The village chief knows you're coming to see me today. If something happens to you, do you think I can escape?"

"I do have something I want to ask you for advice on. Although my dad told me to keep this a secret, I don't think there's any need to hide it from you. Let's see if you can figure it out. If you can, then I'll listen to you on matters related to martial spirits from now on."

After saying that, Tang San looked at Chen Feng with a hint of provocation, "Well, do you dare to accept this challenge?"

"Tch~ What's there to be afraid of?" Chen Feng said with a look of disdain.

But he was quite surprised, because he didn't expect Tang San to bring up the matter of martial souls with him, especially after Tang Hao told him to keep it a secret.

So, does Tang San truly consider me a good friend? The kind of friend I can confide in? Chen Feng dared not draw a conclusion easily.

He composed himself, looked at Tang San, and tentatively said:

"Twin Martial Souls?"

Tang San's eyes widened immediately. Even though he had already decided to tell Chen Feng this secret to discuss his doubts, he never expected that Chen Feng would actually be able to analyze the secret.

"Did you see my other martial soul yesterday?" Tang San couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not, even Brother Su didn't see it, how could I have seen it?" Chen Feng denied it outright.

"That's true, but how did you figure that out?" Tang San suddenly realized that his childhood friend seemed to actually have some talent.

Upon hearing his question, Chen Feng immediately knew that his chance to show off had come.

He coughed lightly and said:

"You know, I've read a lot of books from the Notting City Spirit Hall over the past few years, and I've gained a lot of knowledge from them, as well as a considerable understanding of the existence of spirits."

Tang San nodded. The reason he regarded Chen Feng as a friend was not only because he was attracted by those interesting stories, but also because he saw the shadow of himself when he was studying the Buddha's Wrath Lotus in Chen Feng in his previous life.

Tang San discovered the same traits in Chen Feng as he did, which was the main reason why they became good friends.

"After summarizing that knowledge, I discovered some characteristics of martial souls. One of them is that the strength of a soul master's martial soul is linked to his innate soul power. Your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, but you also have full innate soul power. This is a huge contradiction." Chen Feng raised a finger, cosplaying as a strange mage.

"I see. My Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is too weak and clearly insufficient to support my innate full soul power, so you think I have another Martial Soul." Tang San understood Chen Feng's meaning.

Chen Feng nodded and added, "Moreover, this martial soul must be extremely powerful, otherwise it would be impossible for you to have innate full soul power."

“Indeed, my other martial soul must be very special, otherwise Dad wouldn’t have told me to keep it a secret.” Tang San stretched out his left hand, and a small, black hammer appeared in his hand. “And that’s what I want to discuss with you today. You know so much, do you know what it is?”

"I know," Chen Feng nodded, "but are you sure you want to hear it?"

"I want to hear it." Tang San said without any hesitation. "We talked about my father before. You think my father must have suffered a huge blow to become so dejected. And you guessed that this blow was probably related to my mother."

“I couldn’t understand my mother’s situation before because my father was unwilling to tell me. But I think this hammer can give me some clues. Judging from my father’s attitude, his martial soul should be this kind of hammer. This also fits our previous guess. People are more likely to choose a profession related to their martial soul. A blacksmith’s martial soul is mostly a hammer, fire, or metal.”

“My father told me not to show this hammer to others, which means that this hammer must be something that is not unknown to others. So I can find out my father’s identity through this hammer, and thus possibly learn about my mother’s situation.”

"Then why did you still show it to me? Uncle Tang Hao already told you to stop." Chen Feng asked helplessly.

"You're not just anyone," Tang San said, giving him a strange look. "Tell me, what exactly is it?"

"Judging from appearance alone, I can't be 100% sure, but considering Uncle Tang Hao's name and his current condition, I can now be basically certain."

Chen Feng told Tang San to put the hammer away, and said in a very low voice, "This hammer should be the Clear Sky Hammer, the inherited martial soul of the Clear Sky Sect, one of the three upper sects. It is also the top-tier offensive weapon martial soul on the continent. And your father, if nothing unexpected happens, should be the once famous Clear Sky Douluo."

"Haotian Douluo? You mean my father is a Title Douluo?" Tang San was stunned.

Chen Feng did not answer directly, but instead brought up another matter, "It is said that six years ago, the Spirit Hall issued a warrant for the arrest of Haotian Douluo, saying that he had killed the Spirit Hall's Pope at the time, and the Haotian Sect of the three upper sects was also closed down because of this."

"Six years ago, when I was born," Tang San murmured. "Could it be that my mother died in that battle, which is why my father became like this?"

"Then I don't know. The details of the battle between Haotian Douluo and the Spirit Hall haven't been released. It's probably because it involved a lot of secrets and was suppressed by someone," Chen Feng said softly.

"A secret? What kind of secret could have led Father to fight the Spirit Hall and even kill the Pope at the time?" Tang San muttered to himself.

"That's something we probably can't know right now, unless Uncle Tang Hao is unwilling to say. But I do have some speculations about your mother." Chen Feng's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of being known by outsiders.

"What speculation?" Tang San suddenly came to his senses.

"Regarding your Blue Silver Grass martial soul, it can now be confirmed that it should have come from your mother, and I think it is very likely not an ordinary Blue Silver Grass," Chen Feng murmured.

"Why do you say that?" Tang San asked, puzzled.

"Because you have twin martial souls, and the condition for twin martial souls to appear is that the two martial souls must be of comparable quality."

"Otherwise, the stronger side will overwhelm the weaker side."

Chapter 6 A Great Cause

"I see. The high quality of my Clear Sky Hammer spirit proves the extraordinary nature of my Blue Silver Grass spirit." Tang San understood Chen Feng's meaning.

But he was still puzzled, "Why does it look like ordinary blue silver grass?"

“In nature, some creatures camouflage themselves to avoid predators,” Chen Feng said.

“That makes sense. So how do I restore it to its true form?” Tang San asked.

"This brings us back to our earlier topic: how to evolve biological martial spirits," Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Tell me your plan," Tang San said with some anticipation.

If he trusted Chen Feng before only because he was a friend, now he is convinced because of Chen Feng's abilities.

"Uncle Tang Hao already told you to hide your Clear Sky Hammer spirit, which means that for a long time, you can only attach spirit rings to your Blue Silver Grass spirit and use it in battle, right?" Chen Feng asked.

"Yes, but why can I only add spirit rings to the Blue Silver Grass spirit? Although I can't use the Clear Sky Hammer openly, I can still add spirit rings to it and use it as a trump card in times of crisis," Tang San said, puzzled.

"No, Xiao San, you absolutely mustn't do that, or your twin martial souls will be ruined," Chen Feng warned solemnly.

"why?"

"The advantage of having twin martial souls is that you can first attach a soul ring to one martial soul, and then attach a soul ring to the other martial soul once your soul power has increased enough to make your body strong enough," Chen Feng explained.

Tang San understood, "In this way, the second spirit can have a high-level spirit ring from the start, making it much stronger than others from the very beginning."

“Yes, but this raises another problem: can the body withstand so many high-level spirit rings?” Chen Feng said with a serious expression. “It is said that there was once a person with twin spirits who died when he was attaching spirit rings to his second spirit.”

"Died from an explosion?"

"Yes, his body was not strong enough to withstand the power of so many powerful spirit rings, so it's not surprising that he exploded and died."

Chen Feng paused for a second to mourn for the unfortunate fellow, then continued:

"Therefore, in my opinion, whether it is a twin martial soul or a single martial soul, there should be two choices when attaching soul rings."

"Strengthening the foundation and cultivating vitality, maximizing strengths and minimizing weaknesses—these are the eight words I've summarized, which I call the Soul Ring Attachment Principle."

"Strengthen the foundation and cultivate the source, give full play to strengths and avoid weaknesses..." Tang San pondered these eight words, finding them increasingly insightful and meaningful with each reflection.

Chen Feng continued, explaining the research theories he had derived in this world, combining his knowledge from his previous life:

"Take Blue Silver Grass as an example. What are the characteristics of Blue Silver Grass? It is the tenacious vitality that cannot be burned out by wildfires and will grow again with the spring breeze, the reproductive ability that its seeds can spread all over the world, and the adaptability that can grow in most places."

"These are the 'essence' of Blue Silver Grass, the aspects we need to strengthen. As for the 'element,' these are the functions you need to give it, and these functions must not conflict with the 'essence,' they can only serve as a complement."

Chen Feng's explanation was easy to understand, and Tang San quickly grasped his meaning. "So, I should add spirit rings to the Blue Silver Grass spirit based on its vitality, reproductive ability, and adaptability, and also give it some unique functionalities, is that right?"

Chen Feng nodded, then shook his head. "Yes, but not entirely. Because we only have nine spirit rings, and we have to subtract one spirit true form. With such a small number of spirit rings, if we still want functionality, then we can't take all of these 'cores' into account. It's best to choose one as the absolute core, and then build all the spirit rings around it. Xiao San, what do you think we should choose as the absolute core of your Blue Silver Grass spirit?"

Tang San fell into thought, and after a while he said, "Reproductive ability is not good, adaptability can be considered, but what I want to choose most is vitality."

"I have twin martial souls. Only with a strong enough life force can I withstand the high-level soul ring attached to my second martial soul."

“That’s right, that’s what I think too. In my opinion, the vitality of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is what makes it truly unique. Moreover, I believe that strengthening its vitality could very well promote the evolution of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. If it were to reach its peak, it might even be able to resurrect people!” Chen Feng’s voice unconsciously rose a little.

Not far away, a man who had been sitting in a tree, seemingly dozing, opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise:

"He's truly a prodigy, possessing such abilities at such a young age. It's good that he knows about the existence of the Clear Sky Hammer. Perhaps the young mistress really can be with him..."

Chen Feng was unaware that he had been praised as a "genius by a certain Hammer Douluo," and he was still discussing martial souls with Tang San.

"Resurrection? Is it really possible to be resurrected?" Tang San asked excitedly.

"I cannot fully guarantee it. After all, resurrection involves not only the physical resurrection but also the resurrection of the soul. Both are indispensable, and your Blue Silver Grass does not possess any characteristics related to death or the soul."

"Then can I..."

"No! Xiao San, remember this: strengthen the foundation and cultivate the source, play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. If you add death and soul rings to the Blue Silver Grass, that would be putting the cart before the horse. The end result would be that you'd end up on both sides, but you wouldn't go very far on either side." Chen Feng solemnly extinguished Tang San's wishful thinking.

"But I really, really want to see my mother," Tang San said in a low voice.

Although he had lived two lives, he had never experienced a mother's love; only in this life did he have a father.

So even though Tang Hao didn't pay much attention to him, he never resented Tang Hao.

“I understand your thoughts, mistress, but why do you insist on putting everything on your own shoulders? Don’t forget, we can’t fight this resurrection ability alone.”

"Douluo Continent is so vast, surely we can find geniuses with the same goal? We can unite a group of like-minded partners to accomplish this great undertaking together!" Chen Feng said in a passionate voice.

Ideally, these companions should also possess biological martial souls, as this would greatly facilitate his acquisition of blood.

If Chen Feng might still be refused when trying to trade blood with other forces after successfully advancing his research on the evolution of his martial soul, then obtaining blood from his teammates would be relatively easy.

If Chen Feng has already helped his teammates evolve their martial souls, and his teammates are still stingy with giving him some health, then...

Chen Feng is going to get really angry!
