Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

It's not about the level of cultivation, but about the division of strength.

Xu Yuan is only a one-ring Soul Master. If compared to a Soul Beast, he certainly wouldn't reach the level of a hundred-year-old Soul Beast. It's just that he has excellent talent, so he can unleash the strength of a hundred-year-old Soul Beast.

"There are buffer zones deep within the primary Spirit Ascension Platform, often guarded by guardians. The guardian deep within the Spirit Ascension Platform of the Spirit Transmission Tower in East Sea City is a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Defeating it will drop the Dark Gold Terrorclaw External Soul Bone. I wonder what kind of soul beast the guardian is in Tianhai City..."

Thinking about taking on a thousand-year-old soul beast one-on-one, Xu Yuan also thought of the guardians.

Although he knew the difference in strength, he rationally refrained from seeking out and killing his opponent right now, but he couldn't resist his curiosity.

Xu Yuan was quite envious.

If we're comparing it to Donghai City, then if this guardian could also possess an external soul bone, its value would be immense.

"You little vixen, I'll find you and kill you sooner or later!"

......

In the last two hours, Xu Yuan honestly sought out and hunted normal soul beasts, increasing the age of his soul ring to around 1,100 years.

After half a day of fighting, he was quite exhausted and voluntarily withdrew from the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Xu Shengqun's expression was complicated as he watched his nephew slowly sit up in the instrument chamber.

"Xiao Yuan, I didn't expect you to complete the mission in just one day."

Xu Yuan wanted to speak, but the next moment, after absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, his body also changed. The Five Elements Spear Spirit within him entered a transformation phase, and he almost fainted as a result.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan possessed strong mental power and remained conscious. He quickly sat cross-legged to meditate and coordinate with the evolution of the gun spirit.

The yellow spirit ring around his body was rapidly changing, turning from pale yellow to bright, and then a touch of purple appeared, quickly spreading throughout the entire spirit ring.

Thousand-year soul ring!

Xu Shengqun watched as Xu Yuan's soul evolved, very curious about what changes would occur after the evolution.

After all, Xu Yuan's soul spirit was a spear soul spirit, a weapon soul spirit, and there had never been a case before where it was absorbed by a soul master and elevated to a thousand years.

Chapter 25 The Benefits of Gun Spirit Evolution (Please read on!!!)

Weapon Spirit is a special case within the Metal Spirit branch of Spirits, created by Xu Yuan's father, Xu Zhi.

Having gained experience with artificial spirits, the Spirit Pagoda naturally attempted to create spirits for other weapons, but the cost was high and the number produced was extremely small.

These types of spirits have no gene pool at all, and a hundred years is the most cost-effective state. If they are directly nurtured to a thousand years using spiritual power, they become spirits similar to ice silkworms, which are basically useless.

He has years of cultivation but lacks the corresponding strength.

This clearly contradicts the Spirit Pagoda's initial expectations for weapon spirits.

Therefore, after the Spirit Pagoda had generated the spirit once, it did not directly infuse the remaining weapon spirits with spiritual power.

Some researchers have proposed a hypothesis, which was actually put forward by Xu Yuan's father. He said that weapon spirits do not have the gene pool of spirit beasts. In order to obtain an ideal high-age weapon spirit, it is necessary to explore the essence of the spirit. This requires the spirit to be contracted by a spirit master, and the spirit master must be the corresponding weapon spirit and be talented enough.

The so-called exploration of the essence of the soul is the development of the racial skills of weapon souls, which is equivalent to enriching its gene pool from scratch.

For example, the spirit of a spear can be enhanced through the spirit of spear intent or the understanding of spear techniques, thereby affecting the spear spirit.

Besides improving one's understanding and perception of the weapon, one can also consider the metal used to create the soul spirit. To achieve the best results, it is best to have the fused soul master do it.

The true spirit of a thousand-year-old weapon has never appeared.

Xu Yuan's case is perhaps the first of its kind.

Xu Shengqun highly approves of his nephew's understanding of spear techniques and is also very confident in his own Heavenly Saint Void-Breaking Spear Intent.

Indeed, although Xu Yuan's Five Elements Spear Spirit did not inherit this spear intent back then, it still had the foundation of this spear intent. With this foundation, and the one that Xu Yuan practiced was Xu Shengqun's Heavenly Saint Void-Breaking Spear Technique, which was inherited from the same lineage. With his understanding of this spear technique, it was more than enough to support the Five Elements Spear Spirit in exploring its talent in Void-Breaking.

......

Xu Yuan opened his eyes and found himself back home.

"How's it going? Gun Spirit evolution, any changes? And your Soul Skills, any changes?"

Upon hearing his uncle's question, Xu Yuan also carefully considered the changes in himself.

"As for soul skills, there is only an increase in strength. In the Heavenly Origin Brush form, my control over the five elements is greatly enhanced, and the effect of my elemental manipulation is doubled!"

Of course, this is only on the surface.

With his improved level of control, Xu Yuan's practice of control techniques, which had previously hit a bottleneck, has naturally broken through. He can also continue to delve deeper into more advanced techniques by taking advantage of the essential improvement in his soul skills.

In summary, the direct improvement is significant, and the indirect improvement for the future is also quite obvious.

"In the Heavenly Origin Spear form, the Five Elements Spear Technique is even more perfect." Xu Yuan said, his expression somewhat strange.

This Five Elements Spear Technique is indeed a spear technique!

Now that he has advanced a thousand years, the Five Elements Spear Spirit has bestowed upon him a more perfect soul skill in spear techniques.

"Marksmanship? Even more refined?" Xu Shengqun was also surprised, not expecting the weapon spirit to be like this.

The soul skill bestowed upon it is spear technique, and as the soul spirit evolves, the spear technique will also advance.

He suddenly thought of something and grabbed Xu Yuan's shoulder.

"Xiao Yuan, what are the specific details and techniques of the perfect Five Elements Spear Technique?"

Xu Yuan's mind worked quickly, and seeing his uncle so excited, he quickly connected the dots and understood why he was so excited.

He released his first spirit ring and activated his spirit skill. The Five Elements Spear Technique was displayed in his hands very smoothly.

Xu Shengqun became more and more excited as he read on.

"As expected, it evolved based on the marksmanship you've mastered!"

Xu Shengqun saw many spear techniques reflected in Xu Yuan's Five Elements Spear Technique, and even some techniques from the Heavenly Saint Void-Breaking Spear Technique.

Xu Yuan understood his uncle's excitement.

This means that the evolution of the gun spirit is the evolution of gun techniques.

If the gun spirit evolves strong enough, its gun techniques will also evolve to be powerful enough. And if it has more powerful gun techniques among its evolutionary resources, the gun techniques it evolves after fusing many gun techniques will also be powerful enough!

It's practically a gun-playing simulation tool!

"Are there any other changes?" Xu Shengqun asked after calming down.

“Yes, the Five Elements Spear Spirits are more spiritual, but unfortunately they don’t have true intelligence yet. However, their coordination in battle should be more seamless, and also…” Xu Yuan held the Heavenly Origin Spear and began to demonstrate.

The subsequent explanation is difficult to describe in words.

The Five Elements Spear Technique is a spear technique, but it is also a soul skill.

Xu Yuan had only demonstrated his marksmanship before; now he was showing his true power.

The power of the five elements circulates and rotates around the tip of the spear.

Unlike before, this time there was no inherent spear aura from Xu Yuantian's spear; instead, a different kind of artistic conception focused more on the spear permeated the air.

"Spear intent!" Xu Shengqun recognized this intent.

The spear technique is to use the spear to carry the power of heaven and earth.

Gun intent is a state of mind that is more focused on the gun.

There is no superiority or inferiority between the two; one seeks external control, while the other seeks internal understanding and exploration of firearms.

"Although it is not yet fully evolved, it is already a prototype." Xu Shengqun did not expect that the soul skill given to Xu Yuan by the gun spirit would directly allow him to master the gun intent.

This is an extremely high-grade soul skill for a soul master with a spear-type martial soul.

Moreover, he also comes with his own set of marksmanship skills.

"Alright, put it away." Xu Shengqun could sense that Xu Yuan was still somewhat listless and not suited to display his spear intent for an extended period of time.

After exiting his gun-wielding state, Xu Yuan rubbed his temples.

He had been fighting on the Ascension Platform for a day, and his mind was under extreme tension; he was in very poor condition.

But this could not hide his excitement.

Because only he himself could feel it more clearly, he felt that as long as he did not slack off in his spear training, the existence of the spear spirit would be a cheat code for his spear training!

The spear spirit is like another person, someone who is naturally suited to the spear.

Both sides shared their insights and understanding.

The efficiency of shooting practice will at least double!

"I originally thought we'd have to take you there a few more times, or even wait for you to stay at the Spirit Ascension Platform for more than three days." Xu Shengqun returned to the main topic, gave a wry smile, and said to Xu Yuan, "Since you completed the Soul Spirit Evolution in just one day, we won't delay you any longer. After you rest for a day, we'll head to Shrek City."

There are only five days left until Shrek's entrance exam.

"Ah."

......

after one day.

Xu Yuan departed from Tianhai City in his uncle's mecha and headed to Shrek City.

That's right, mechs.

Xu Shengqun owns a black mecha, which is also his daily mode of transportation.

Sitting inside the mecha, Xu Yuan had a unique experience.
