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

Xu Yuan is still in the exploratory stage.

If the risk is too great, he won't take the risk.

Now, after a period of enlightenment in the Sea God Pavilion, Xu Yuan has overcome the first bottleneck.

"I'm a little hungry." Xu Yuan checked the time and realized that he had been meditating for two days without realizing it.

He ate the food that Shen Yi had brought him over the past two days and activated the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique.

The current Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique incorporates the Devouring characteristic, resulting in a more significant improvement in the efficiency of food digestion and absorption.

"There's only one day left. It would be a waste to cultivate soul power here. Thinking about key issues is the best way to make the most of this environment."

Xu Yuan continued meditating, pondering more specific ideas for his plan to integrate man and gun.

......

A day flies by.

Xu Yuan opened his eyes, suppressed the many thoughts in his mind, and followed Shen Yi downstairs.

Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan were also waiting downstairs.

"Let's go. You three must have gained quite a bit in these three days." Shen Yi led Xu Yuan and the other two away from the Sea God Pavilion.

Don't you have any apprenticeship or mentorship programs?

Xu Yuan was taken aback.

He quickly chuckled to himself, realizing he was overthinking things.

Indeed, I'm overthinking it.

The three children are only seven years old, and they have no prior experience. Giving them instruction at this age won't lead to much progress; in fact, it will lower their standing. Unless someone is considering taking them on as apprentices, they wouldn't offer instruction through such a formal channel as the Sea God Pavilion at this time. Even if they were itching to say something, they would do it privately.

Xu Yuan didn't know how Xu Lizhi had performed in the past three days, but he knew that his performance hadn't been exaggerated and it was normal that he hadn't attracted the attention of the elders and Yun Ming.

He reaped great rewards, but made a small fuss about them.

......

"To minimize the risks, we still need to start with the soul contract."

Xu Yuan returned to his dormitory and dialed the soul communication again, this time dialing his uncle's number.

"Hello? Xiao Yuan? What's up?" Xu Shengqun's voice came through the soul communication.

"It's about my martial spirit cultivation."

"You say it."

Xu Yuan knew there was no one else on the other side, so he immediately voiced his thoughts.

"Soul Contract Bloodline?" Xu Shengqun felt a headache coming on when he heard Xu Yuan's idea.

You already have such great talent, don't mess around with it.

Xu Yuan could also sense his uncle's headache, and immediately assured him, "Don't worry, Uncle, I won't try it unless I'm absolutely sure."

"Sigh, your father has done research in this area. I'll send you the information." Xu Shengqun sighed, repeatedly reminding Xu Yuan not to try things out recklessly.

"If you're really ready, remember to tell your uncle, preferably in advance. Also, tell your martial uncle, and we'll go there to do it."

Xu Yuan listened to his uncle's instructions, somewhat lost in thought.

Did your father also do research in this area?

"My father also studied these things?" he asked his uncle.

"Of course, your father has done more than just one or two research projects in order to cultivate. Of course, this Qi and Blood Contract Soul Spirit is his private personal research, which is carried out in cooperation with the Body Sect."

The ontology sect?

Xu Yuan was dizzy and disoriented.

It turns out that predecessors had already thought of and tried these paths.

"Moreover, it's not just research; there's already a template for this." Xu Shengqun pointedly said, "Your martial uncle doesn't have a Body Martial Soul, but he is still considered a disciple of the Body Sect."

Xu Yuan also received his uncle's 'hint'.

"It's different from the Qi and Blood Soul Ring you mentioned, but it's similar. His Martial Soul and Qi and Blood have merged to some extent, and he also used this to cultivate the Body Sect's secret techniques to strengthen his Qi and Blood power. He even evolved his Martial Soul, which is why he became a Divine Craftsman."

Xu Yuan found this very strange.

This was the first time he realized that the cultivation paths of the supporting characters in the original work could also be quite legendary.

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't try anything recklessly. I'll go to Tiandou City in half a month to discuss it with my martial uncle."

After making his assurances, Xu Yuan hung up the call.

He took a deep breath.

At that moment, he felt completely relaxed.

He himself had previously felt that it was all just a pipe dream of a minor Soul Master, and he was carrying enormous pressure as he moved forward.

Now, he feels he has found the shoulders of giants.

His uncle said there was a lot of information and it would take a while to send it to him, but Xu Yuan wasn't in a hurry and started meditating.

......

"My father's research direction overlaps quite a bit with mine."

After browsing through the materials, Xu Yuan quickly analyzed the research, feeling extremely excited.

“The companion soul is not safe. While learning from Ji Juechen’s cultivation path, my father also discovered that his uncle Zhenhua was an imitator. After getting to know his uncle, he also discussed this aspect and learned about the process of his blood and qi integrating into his martial soul.”

"Father's research on soul contracts is indeed profound. I need to brush up on my theoretical knowledge in this area before I can understand it."

"..."

Standing on the shoulders of giants, Xu Yuan became even more confident and worked even harder in his research.

At the same time, he also looked forward to the gains he would make when he went to Tiandou City in half a month.

Chapter 44 Zhenhua's Advice

In the blink of an eye, Xu Yuan has been enrolled for a month.

There were no fixed courses in the inner academy. After asking Shen Yi for leave, Xu Yuan boarded the Soul Guidance Train bound for Tian Dou City.

Tiandou City.

Blacksmiths Guild.

"Uncle Master."

It's been a year since I last saw Zhenhua, and his health doesn't seem to have changed at all.

In fact, compared to most Soul Masters, Zhenhua's blood and qi strength is extremely high, even surpassing Xu Yuan's uncle, Xu Shengqun. It's just that with Mu Ye by his side before, his blood and qi didn't seem as outstanding.

Having witnessed many normal Soul Masters this year, and even met some Elders at Shrek Academy, Xu Yuan realized that his Uncle Zhenhua's blood and qi strength was truly high after comparing them.

"Why did you suddenly want to cultivate the power of qi and blood?" Zhenhua asked curiously.

Xu Yuan did not choose to hide it.

"I want to separate the two major forms of my martial soul, but I can't create twin martial souls after splitting them."

Ten thousand years ago, Ji Juechen had a single Martial Soul position. He integrated his Martial Soul with extraterrestrial meteorite iron, and then merged with his sword, completely fusing his Martial Soul with himself. However, he still only had one Martial Soul position.

Split your martial soul and then copy its location out of thin air?

This is something only a god could do.

Xu Yuan only wanted to transfer some characteristics of his martial soul into the Five Elements Spear Spirit, and then use the Five Elements Spear Spirit to form a contract with the power of blood and qi to achieve an alternative Three Lives Martial Soul.

As for the soul ring's ability to withstand damage...

If successful, given Xu Yuan's talent in mental strength from his brain martial soul, the mental strength's capacity to support the soul spirit can be guaranteed. As for physical strength, with a blood and qi martial soul, Xu Yuan's blood and qi cultivation can be transformed into a martial soul. In addition, as a disciple of the Body Sect, his physical strength is fully capable of keeping up.

After listening to Xu Yuan's idea, Zhenhua fell into deep thought.

He looked at Xu Yuan with a strange gaze.

"You look just like your father." After looking at him for a long time, all he could say was this.

Yes, it really does look alike.

“Your father must have researched this project back then. I discussed it with him and even recommended him to your teacher so that he could cooperate with the Body Sect. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out in the end.” Zhenhua sighed.

However, he did not use this to discourage Xu Yuan.

Because he was involved in almost the entire research process, he knew where the failures lay.

Xu Yuan's father, Xu Zhi, focused his research on integrating the power of blood and qi into the martial soul through a soul contract, while Xu Yuan's inclination was to form a soul contract with blood and qi.

One focuses on transforming martial spirits with qi and blood, while the other focuses on creating alternative qi and blood martial spirits.

“Actually, you can take it one step at a time,” Zhenhua suggested.

"Oh?"

Xu Yuan was surprised that Zhenhua did not offer any dissuasion, but instead gave him advice.
