Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 29 Evolutionary Path
"What do you want?" Han Tao asked.

What do I possess that Ye Junlan would covet?
Knowledge is expensive, but it is also equivalent.

Why would she be willing to tell me such rare and valuable knowledge as "Martial Soul Evolution"?
"I've heard that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School recently obtained a secret technique that can repair a Soul Master's meridians?"

Ye Junlan said casually.

At this moment, Han Tao did not let his guard down.

The concept of "deep healing" is equally valuable and rare, especially for healing-type Soul Masters.

However, compared to the knowledge of "Martial Soul Evolution," there is a world of difference.

"Yes, there is such a secret method." Han Tao admitted this part.

"If you can steal this secret technique from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I can exchange it for the 'Martial Soul Evolution' technique."

"I imagine that, as the sect leader's second disciple, it wouldn't be difficult for you to do this."

Ye Junlan offered a suggestion.

Han Tao has already reached an agreement on this proposal. He himself discovered the theory of deep healing, so there was no theft involved.

However, doing so would affect the sect's interests to some extent.

Not long ago, Ning Fengzhi emphasized the interests of the sect.

"Could it be..." Han Tao looked in the direction the sect leader had left.

There was no answer; Han Tao remained silent.

I hesitated for a long time.

long time.

"Okay." Han Tao paused slightly. "I promise you."

Seeing that he had agreed, Ye Junlan smiled with satisfaction, "Then, I'll wait for good news."

She gracefully took a step, leaping and gliding towards the next wounded soldier.

Three days later, at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Inside the library.

"It's you!"

The person who arrived was Ye Lingling.

"Is the secret technique ready?" She asked expressionlessly, her face as still as a deep well.

Han Tao breathed a slight sigh of relief. Compared to Ye Junlan, Ye Lingling was easier to deal with.

As for the previous confrontation, Han Tao has already retaliated.

Ye Lingling was just a pawn, a pawn to help him discover the real culprit behind the scenes.

"Deep Healing, by extending healing-type soul skills to the microscopic level, can restore a soul master's hidden injuries and meridian damage."

Han Tao showed his sincerity and then waited for her answer.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling wrote down the knowledge that Han Tao had provided.

"The evolution of a martial soul is extremely difficult. Only those with great perseverance and great fortune have even the slightest chance of breaking through the door."

Han Tao sat up straight, leaning slightly forward, and listened attentively to her story.

Seeing Han Tao's statement, Ye Lingling took a deep breath and slightly parted her lips:
There are three main ways to evolve a martial soul.

"The first method is inheritance, which is the simplest, but also the most demanding."

As she spoke, she looked at Han Tao with curiosity: "When a Soul Master possesses a high-level bloodline with a proper Martial Soul position, under specific guidance, they can complete the sublimation of their Martial Soul by consuming energy."

Han Tao nodded and wrote the contents down in his notebook.

In the original novel, Tang San used this method.

"I don't possess it!"

Han Tao gave a casual explanation to satisfy her curiosity.

"The second type is the [puzzle], the part about spirit fusion. Have you heard of it?"

Ye Lingling inquired.

"I've heard of it. Some of the more famous ones are Dragon-Snake Combo, Golden Holy Dragon, and Yin-Yang Stillness Domain."

Han Tao listed several of the more well-known Martial Soul Fusion Techniques currently existing in the Douluo Continent.

"There are many reasons why martial spirit fusion can be achieved, including fusion of martial spirits from the same lineage, complementation of flawed martial spirits, and complementation of energy and bloodline."

"The evolution of the [Puzzle] mainly stems from the complementarity of martial soul defects."

At this point, a strange glint flashed in Ye Lingling's eyes. Seeing her odd behavior, Han Tao made a bold guess.

"Is the Blue Silver Grass a puzzle piece for the Nine-Heart Begonia?"

Ye Lingling shook her head, her voice weak and soft: "Blue Silver Grass is not, Blue Silver King is."

Hearing this, Han Tao felt relieved. "What are you afraid of?"

Regardless of what the future holds, at this moment, their goals are aligned.

Regardless of the means by which she claims to be "pieceing together" the puzzle—whether it involves devouring, absorbing, or merging—it doesn't matter.

But all of this has one prerequisite: my martial soul must become the Blue Silver King.

"The three Soul Masters, Blue Silver King, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and Seven Heart Begonia, can perform Martial Soul Fusion, and there are successful cases."

"With the help of two martial souls, the Blue Silver King transformed into the Blue Silver Emperor, becoming a top-tier martial soul in the Douluo Continent."

Silent.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is already a top-tier martial soul, and it has also fused with Blue Silver and Seven Star Begonia. But is it necessary to transform it into the Blue Silver Emperor?
Based on Lan Yinhuang's performance in the original work, Han Tao believes that it is completely not worth doing so.

"Could this unofficial history be true?"

Han Tao once borrowed a book called "Douluo Unofficial History" from Principal Su's office, which recorded the entangled origins and love-hate relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Nine Heart Begonia.

"The deep-seated hatred between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Nine Heart Begonia School dates back to their oldest rivalry over a woman."

Han Tao wrote down the above information, hesitated for a moment, and then asked again.

"Spirit fusion is one thing, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with spirit evolution, does it?"

Ye Lingling slightly raised her head, her eyes like a pool of clear water.

"The second half of the second part will be discussed in conjunction with the third method of martial soul evolution."

"The third way to evolve a martial soul is called [Breaking Limits], which is the most difficult of the three evolution methods."

"What is 'breaking the limit'? Understanding the essence of a martial soul and mastering its origin will naturally lead to the path of breaking the limit."

Han Tao noted: "Understand the essence of the Martial Soul, master the Blue Silver Origin."

"The so-called 'puzzle' refers to the two Soul Masters who fuse their Martial Souls, fully understand and master the origin of their Martial Souls, and at the time of Martial Soul fusion, understand the missing parts of their Martial Souls and make up for them to promote the evolution of their Martial Souls."

Han Tao immediately thought of the Blue Silver Emperor.

The Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone skill, "Wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze blows and it grows again," is taken from the Seven Star Begonia's "healing."

Tang San's fifth spirit ring, the Blue Silver Emperor's origin spirit ring, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, why is it a weapon?
It is likely derived from the original part of the "Seven-Jeweled Glazed Tile Pagoda".

"Mastering the origin of Blue Silver and understanding the essence of Martial Souls can enable Martial Souls to evolve. However, when Blue Silver Grass evolves to a certain extent, it will face a new problem."

"what is the problem?"

[Rank]

"There is a vast difference between the [ranks] of Blue Silver Grass, a difference that is difficult to overcome."

As she spoke, Ye Lingling summoned her martial soul, with white and pink petals swirling around it.

"Nine-Heart Begonia: Only two Soul Masters in the Douluo Continent can possess this Martial Soul at any given time. Only when the previous generation of Soul Masters dies can the next generation of Soul Masters awaken the Nine-Heart Begonia."

“But your Blue Silver Grass is different. Only one Blue Silver King and one Blue Silver Emperor can exist in this world.”

After hearing Ye Lingling's introduction, Han Tao had some thoughts to consider.

Blue Silver Grass, Blue Silver King, and Blue Silver Emperor correspond to three social classes in ancient feudal dynasties.

The emperor was the highest rank in the feudal system of ancient China, and there were two ways to become an emperor.

One type is inheritance, which is based on bloodline and passed down from the superior, belonging to the category of "ruler who maintains the status quo".

One type is an uprising, which disregards bloodline and social status and is carried out by the lower classes to overthrow the regime.

He attributes all power to himself, and upon success, he becomes the "master of pioneers."

The power displayed by the "Pioneer" will inevitably surpass that of the "Conservative Ruler"—this is a qualitative difference.

"Blue Silver Grass, there is only one way to transcend its own [rank].

"What?" Han Tao asked.

Ye Lingling's cold voice rang out: "Stepping on the bones of the previous generation, we will lay the foundation for the next dynasty!"

"To advance in rank, you must kill the Blue Silver King."

"Han Tao, you have no choice!"
