Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 28 Bait
"Innocent bystanders suffer the consequences"

It suddenly came to mind.

The Seven Kill Sword's attack was directed at all the sect disciples, and one unlucky soul after another was knocked down by this powerful shockwave.

Han Tao was the only exception.

When Ning Rongrong ran away, Han Tao sensed that something was wrong, so he followed Ning Rongrong's route and quietly slipped away from the training ground.

Sword Douluo's attack was not directed at the main target.

Why don't we just take you all down? That way you'll know what the power of a Title Douluo is.

At this moment, the concept that "Title Douluo are not to be trifled with" has taken deep root in the hearts of all the disciples.

Example is more profound than words, and pain is more memorable than words of comfort.

Chen Xin glanced at it casually, let out a cold snort, and then put away his martial spirit.

With his Title Douluo strength, Ning Fengzhi's actions could not escape his notice.

The burst of soul power was intended to avenge Ning Rongrong, but also to cooperate with Ning Fengzhi in educating the sect's disciples.

Not every school is called Shrek. Compared to the bizarre school motto "Mediocre people dare not cause trouble," "Title Douluo are not to be trifled with" is the mainstream motto on the mainland.

"Rules are meant to protect the weak, but if you are strong enough, you can ignore the rules."

Bone Douluo stood in mid-air, chatting and laughing.

"Sect rules? To hell with sect rules! If you were a Title Douluo like me, why would you care about these things?"

In this Douluo Continent, an era where great power belongs to oneself, strength is everything.

Wealth, power, and status are all derivatives of strength; without strength, everything is just a castle in the air.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been able to stand strong to this day and maintain its status as one of the top three sects thanks in no small part to the contributions of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, both of whom are at the peak of their power.

During this year-end assessment, many disciples in the sect were injured due to the pressure of Sword Douluo's soul power.

The injured need treatment.

Soon, a middle-aged woman with blue hair arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"who is she?"

He felt the face looked familiar, but was certain he had never seen it before, so he asked Steward Ning, who was standing to the side.

"Ye Junlan, the most powerful healing soul master in the Heaven Dou Empire."

Manager Ning suddenly revealed a mysterious expression and continued, "However, she has another identity."

"Oh?" Han Tao asked, puzzled.

"Ye Lingling's mother, the owner of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul."

Han Tao was stunned; he found it hard to believe.

"why?"

"I mean, why? Aren't the Nine Heart Begonia and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School sworn enemies? Why are they willing to come and treat us?"

"Are you sure she won't do anything malicious, like adding something to the treatment?"

Manager Ning smiled and began to analyze the situation for Han Tao in a thoughtful and methodical manner.

“You’re right. The Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are sworn enemies, but after all, many generations have passed, so they are not exactly mortal enemies.”

"Ye Lingling's targeting of you last time undoubtedly damaged the reputation of our sect."

“Now that we have so much power, we only need to target them a little, and they will have a very difficult time. Letting her come for treatment this time is to give both sides a way out.”

This is the difference between power and individual. Sects prioritize interests above all else, and even sworn enemies are no match for them when it comes to interests.

"This treatment means that the matter is over."

At that moment, Ning Fengzhi walked over and patted Han Tao on the shoulder.

"Han Tao, you're young and impetuous. Don't even think about revenge this time."

Suddenly, she leaned close to Han Tao's ear and whispered something in a low voice.

“If a Title Douluo can disregard the rules of the sect, then he can also disregard the interests of the sect.”

Han Tao: "." Title Douluo, Master, you think too highly of me.

As expected of the Nine-Heart Begonia, its healing ability is the best in the entire continent. Under Ye Junlan's soul skill, the injured sect disciples were healed one by one, and soon it was Han Tao's turn.

"You're Han Tao?"

Ye Junlan's demeanor was impeccable; as she spoke, she elegantly condensed her martial spirit.

"Fallen petals!"

This isn't a soul skill; it's more like some kind of secret technique.

A sense of "one leaf withers, another grows" accompanies the withering of fallen petals, while the decaying flowers and leaves nurture nutrients and transform into life.

Han Tao held his breath and focused his mind, carefully sensing the microscopic changes occurring in his body.

"Feili" refers to the energy transformed from soul power into something similar to "Feili," which not only restored Han Tao's body but also nourished his martial soul, "Blue Silver Grass."

Under the intense perception of the Blue Silver Grass, Han Tao discovered that his martial soul had become incredibly strong and resilient in a subtle and gradual way.

"Impossible, why?"

Han Tao looked at Ye Junlan with a questioning gaze.

At that very moment, her soul power came to an abrupt halt.

As the soul power faded, the "fertility" possessed by the fallen petals also vanished without a trace, as if it had all disappeared.

Seeing Han Tao's expression, Ye Junlan was somewhat surprised.

"You can actually sense it?"

Han Tao frowned slightly, not understanding what she meant.

"The effects of your secret technique seem to extend beyond this."

"Of course." Ye Junlan's expression returned to a flat, fake smile.

"This secret technique is called 'Fallen Petals,' which can induce plant-type martial souls to evolve, but ordinary soul masters cannot sense the changes in their martial souls."

It's obvious she investigated me.

This time, she came with a purpose.

Knowing that Han Tao's martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, knowing that his innate soul power is only level one, and knowing what Han Tao lacks most.

What's even more remarkable is that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School provided a way out, giving the two of them the opportunity to get to know each other.

So, when a bait for the evolution of a martial soul is placed in front of you, can you resist your temptation?

Han Tao smiled noncommittally; he didn't believe that the evolution of a martial soul was that simple.

Seeing Han Tao's smile, Ye Junlan's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized that her plans for this trip might not go so smoothly.

"The evolution of a martial soul is something that can drive countless soul masters mad."

"The Fallen Blossoms technique is very powerful, but it's impossible for Blue Silver Grass to undergo a transformation."

I held the nine-leaf crabapple in my palm, its white and pink petals intertwining under the fluorescent light, gazing at the delicate petals.

“You’re right, ‘fallen petals’ alone cannot evolve a martial soul.”

"The secret technique is only an aid; to evolve your martial soul, additional conditions need to be met."

Han Tao shook his head again: "Why should I believe you?"

This time, she ignored Han Tao's questions and continued her story:
"The Nine-Heart Begonia is already the pinnacle of healing-type martial souls, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is not the pinnacle of support-type martial souls."

"The long-standing feud between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Nine Heart Begonia is not, as the rumors in Douluo Continent suggest, a struggle for the title of 'Number One Support,' but rather a matter of pure self-interest."

"Every sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has tried to obtain the method of martial soul evolution from me!"

A cold wind blew.

Han Tao felt a chill run down his spine.

At this moment, Steward Ning and Ning Fengzhi had already walked far away.
