Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 3 Choosing a Soul

Su Ming shifted his gaze from the various strange soul eggs to the man in the room whose back was to him.

The man turned around.

His face was very dignified, exuding authority without anger, and he looked very stern. Although he did not use his soul power, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) naturally swirled around him.

"Greetings, Tower Master."

"Oh, you're Su Ming?"

Zhang Tianyang looked Su Ming up and down and nodded.

Su Ming stood respectfully in place, without making any overly outrageous moves.

“You have innate full soul power, so you can directly fuse with your first soul spirit,” Zhang Tianyang said. “Are you sure your martial spirit is elemental control? Now check the characteristics of your martial spirit again, and then choose a suitable soul spirit.”

Following Zhang Tianyang's advice, Su Ming actually tried again.

Around him, various colored elements shimmered.

The soul power within the body was extracted, and then various elements began to gather around the body.

Blue, red, yellow, cyan, water, fire, earth, and wind—the four elements revolve around him.

Zhang Tianyang's pupils contracted slightly.

"How's the soul power consumption?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Ming said, "If we just maintain this state, I can last for three hours."

"not bad!"

He affirmed Su Ming's ability to control the elements.

Through his senses, he was certain that Su Ming was mobilizing external elemental power, which was crucial and made him an exceptionally powerful elemental soul master.

It can mobilize the power of external elements, and when activating a soul skill, it not only consumes less energy but also has great power, and is not limited by the total amount of soul power of the soul master.

"Are there any other elements?" Zhang Tianyang asked casually.

Su Ming said, "There should still be some."

He closed his eyes and focused intently on manipulating the more difficult-to-manipulate elemental power.

Two orbs of elemental light, one black and one white, condensed and rotated around the four elements of water, fire, earth, and wind, forming a black and white ring.

Zhang Tianyang was also secretly surprised.

That makes six elements.

He looked at Su Ming, signaling him to continue trying, and secretly looked forward to it.

Are there spatial elements?

As he anticipated, a silver light slowly appeared before Su Ming.

Spatial elements!

He has mastered all seven elements. What kind of exaggerated martial spirit is this?

This isn't about having the aptitude to control seven elements and needing to acquire corresponding elemental skills through individual spirit rings; it's a talent that can be used immediately after the martial soul awakens!
"Very good, that works!"

Zhang Tianyang kept praising it.

He was very satisfied with Su Ming's performance. "Since the Martial Soul's ability was not misjudged, you can now choose your Soul Spirit." He pointed to the various Soul Spirit eggs behind him and said, "These are the most precious batch of Soul Spirits in the Tianhai City Spirit Transmission Tower, including some special Soul Spirits, which are all preserved here. You can take a look first."

Su Ming nodded silently.

In fact, while fully absorbed in the moment, he had just sensed the existence of another similar element, ethereal and seemingly nonexistent. It was entangled with space, yet even more concealed, or rather, not concealed, but rather it only showed a trace because it was so deeply entangled with space, without actually being such an element.

He guessed what it was.

That's a time attribute.

Time does not have a corresponding elemental power, but it is a real attribute that is deeply intertwined with space.

The fact that he can sense the corresponding attribute even without the corresponding element can only mean that his body possesses an exceptionally outstanding talent for time attributes!
As for why it has a time attribute, Su Ming was also aware of that.

He didn't tell Zhang Tianyang this, and began to carefully study the spirits here. With Zhang Tianyang, the tower master, personally explaining, Su Ming was also amazed to learn about these many rare spirits.

Every soul here has the potential to become a genius.

It is creation, not fit.

"This is the advantage of Soul Spirits. They can transform many eligible Soul Beasts into Soul Spirits. This is actually the accumulation of the Tianhai City Spirit Transmission Tower over the past ten thousand years."

Zhang Tianyang's words were already considered tactful.

In reality, he meant that the Soul Spirit Path takes the exploitation and oppression of Soul Beasts by Soul Masters to the extreme.

Especially in terms of time, in the ten thousand years of the great extinction of soul beasts, the number of soul spirits captured by the Spirit Pagoda far exceeds the total number of all soul beasts on the continent ten thousand years ago.

The Spirit Pagoda preserves a large number of juvenile souls, especially those of younger age.

Encountering a young, super-powerful soul beast that hasn't gone extinct in its early years?

Transforming him into a soul spirit would save him from ten thousand years of arduous cultivation, allowing him to grow to a cultivation level of over three hundred years in just over ten years, and then be left for future soul masters to use.

If new cubs are born, then capture them again.

From a hundred years to a thousand years, as long as it takes less than ten thousand years, there is absolutely no shortage of rare soul beasts in the Spirit Pagoda, because the stronger the soul beast, the faster it cultivates. A hundred years is equivalent to a thousand years, and a thousand years is equivalent to ten thousand years.

If you do the math, over ten thousand years, before the Great Extinction began, the Spirit Pagoda only needed to feign compliance with the spirit beasts for three thousand years to harvest ten batches of ordinary spirit beasts that were around three hundred years old, and one to three batches of ordinary spirit beasts that were within three thousand years old.

If it's a powerful bloodline soul beast, then it's even more exaggerated.

Of course, as it developed, the Spirit Pagoda became more and more ambitious. Not content with simply turning existing soul beasts into soul spirits, it gradually began to walk the path of the creator and research artificial soul spirits!
Artificial spirits require a large database of spirit beasts, so the Spirit Pagoda began to slaughter spirit beasts on a large scale to establish a database of spirit beast genes, thereby replicating these spirit beasts and even using these genes to recombine and create entirely new life.

In fact, over the years, the Spirit Pagoda has indeed created many unprecedented spirits. Some of these spirits have congenital defects and cannot even fully exert the effects of their template spirit beasts. Others are extremely powerful and belong to a completely new species. As the spirit master fights all the way, they follow their opponent from a hundred-year spirit to a ten-thousand-year spirit, bringing powerful assistance to the spirit master.

Su Ming arrived at a corner of the Rare Soul Chamber.

These are all artificial spirits, products of research conducted by the Spirit Tower Research Institute in Tianhai City. Some of these spirits are good, some are bad, and many more are unknown.

Zhang Tianyang noticed that Su Ming's gaze was fixed on one of the spirits.

The spirit was a ball of brilliant golden light, the scene inside of which was invisible; it seemed as if the spirit itself was a ball of golden light.

He remembered this artificial soul spirit and said to Su Ming, "This soul spirit was a key project of the research institute a few years ago. At that time, there was an anomaly in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the East China Sea. The people of the research institute guessed that it was a soul beast nurtured by heaven and earth, similar to the Ice and Snow Maiden. At that time, the research institute interrupted its condensation, sealed and compressed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in that space, and used it as a basis for modification. By chance, this ball of light was condensed."

"The soul power fluctuations of this spirit indicate that it is three hundred years old, which is suitable for you. However, it should still be in an unformed state. It may transform into the form most suitable for the soul master after the soul master fuses with it, or it may not react at all."

Zhang Tianyang reminded Su Ming very seriously.

"If you absorb this soul, you have to be prepared to gamble."
