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

None of this is a problem.

Even if Xu Yuan's main combat methods in the future are still spear techniques and manipulating the energy of heaven and earth with the Heavenly Yuan Brush, it will not be affected by his main cultivation of martial spirit.

Spear techniques can be practiced. With the Five Elements Spear Technique as a foundation, Xu Yuan already has his own basic spear techniques.

With the cultivation of his martial soul and the improvement of his mental strength, Xu Yuan's progress will not be affected by the basic soul skills that control the five elements.

......

Xu Yuan sat in the center of the magic array.

To ensure success and safety, Xu Yuan divided the entire Qi and Blood Contract process into three parts.

The first part is the external magic array, which was the initial form of the Soul Spirit system. This externally inscribed magic array assisted human Soul Masters in signing contracts with Soul Beasts. Later, as the Soul Spirit system developed, this model was gradually phased out.

The second part concerns Xu Yuan's modifications to his current contract with the Five Elements Spear Spirit. This was inevitable, as integrating blood and qi into the contract fundamentally alters the contractual relationship. Fortunately, the Five Elements Spear Spirit, having evolved into a thousand-year-old soul spirit, possessed greater spirituality and cooperated well, making the process smoother.

The third part involves Xu Yuan himself using his soul power for assistance. Different methods of soul power manipulation produce different effects. By manipulating soul power, he stabilizes his martial soul, stimulates his blood and qi, thereby increasing the success rate and ensuring safety.

Calming down, Xu Yuan began to modify the contract.

The sea of ​​spirit.

The spirits of the Five Elements Spears appeared.

As both parties worked together, the contracts between them came to light, and Xu Yuan began to make changes to them.

The Five Elements Spear Spirit suppressed its instinctive resistance during this process.

Xu Yuan's forehead was covered in sweat.

Modifying this contract later would be a huge hassle, and even with his mental strength, it would be somewhat difficult for him to do so.

Fortunately, all the plans took his own factors into account, and Xu Yuan persisted until the contract array was perfected.

Once the magic array was perfected, Xu Yuan's vital energy began to circulate.

Qi and blood circulate in the body's meridians, but the contract array remains in the sea of ​​spirit. The two are separated by spatial boundaries and have not truly merged.

Fortunately, the external magic array began to take effect at this moment.

Xu Yuan's spiritual power and the Five Elements Spear Spirit were drawn out by the magic array, and his blood and qi also burst forth and merged into it.

......

The whole process went quite smoothly.

After all, it was a project for which Xu Zhi had laid most of the foundation. Xu Yuan also referenced a lot of information on Qi and Blood cultivation from the Body Sect, and had the real-life case of Zhen Hua, who fused Qi and Blood with Martial Soul, for guidance.

As the light of the magic array dimmed, the Five Elements Spear Spirit of Xu Yuan flickered and merged into Xu Yuan's body.

This time, the Five Elements Spear Spirit did not return to Xu Yuan's spiritual sea, but was instead controlled by Xu Yuan and integrated into his blood and qi.

The soul itself is just an energy body that can take on various forms. At this moment, it has been integrated into Xu Yuan's blood and qi, circulating throughout his body along with the power of his blood and qi.

At this moment, the Five Elements Spear Spirit merged into his blood and qi, and Xu Yuan also used this to try the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique.

It did not aid digestion.

He simply circulated the power of the Five Elements Spear Spirit, and the power of the Five Elements transformed and flowed between his internal organs, promoting the fusion of the Five Elements Spear Spirit and himself.

Seeing Xu Yuan enter a meditative state, Zhenhua and Muye breathed a sigh of relief and patiently waited for Xu Yuan to finish his cultivation.

......

Two and a half hours later.

Xu Yuan opened his eyes.

"Teacher, Uncle-Master, everything is going well." He smiled.

This means that his blood and qi martial spirit transformation has a good chance of success.

“Yes, you can’t stop practicing your marksmanship. Even if you can’t be as focused on the sword as Ji Juechen, you must at least be completely focused on your gun when you’re practicing,” Mu Ye said.

Although Xu Yuan doesn't have Ji Juechen's obsession with the sword, he still has his advantages.

The Five Elements Spear Spirit, born with a spear soul, possesses an unparalleled and pure understanding of the spear. These understandings are shared with Xu Yuan. When Xu Yuan practices spear training, he can inherit the spear intent and spear soul of the Five Elements Spear Spirit, thereby enabling him to become more focused.

The essence of spear intent and spear spirit represents a high degree of control over the spear, enabling Xu Yuan to integrate his Heavenly Origin Spear form into the Five Elements Spear Spirit, and then into his blood and qi.

“I know. In the future, when I practice shooting, I will try to integrate the Heavenly Origin Spear into the Five Elements Spear Spirit, using the Five Elements Spear Spirit as the main body, and let the Heavenly Origin Spear be integrated into the Five Elements Spear Spirit for shooting practice.”

Previously, Xu Yuan wielded the Heavenly Origin Spear, with the Five Elements Spear Spirit integrated into it. In the future, Xu Yuan will wield the Five Elements Spear Spirit, with the Heavenly Origin Spear integrated into it. Only when he can achieve complete seamless integration—where wielding the Five Elements Spear Spirit is synonymous with wielding the Heavenly Origin Spear—will Xu Yuan's cultivation be considered complete.

"Practice here with me for a while and see how it goes. Perfect timing, I'll also teach you the techniques for fusing your Qi and Martial Soul later."

Zhenhua's mutation was accidental, giving him the foundation for a fusion of blood and spirit. He then gradually explored the techniques to truly fuse the two.

"Thank you very much, Uncle-Master."

......

For the next week, Xu Yuan trained at the Forging Masters Association.

His soul power was sealed.

A simple seal is not a secret technique of the Haotian Sect.

Even if the soul power is sealed, the martial soul can still be mobilized, and the power of qi and blood can still be mobilized.

Every day, Mu Ye prepares medicinal meals, which are refined with qi and blood, and the Five Elements Spear Spirit is used to activate the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique to absorb the medicinal power.

Xu Yuan also gained something extra.

His Five Elements Spear Spirit also seemed to have been nurtured. Although it was impossible to determine whether there was any actual improvement in terms of age, Xu Yuan was certain that his Five Elements Spear Spirit had become stronger.

Chapter 50 The New Era of the Body Sect

As the Qi and Blood increase, the Qi and Blood Spear Spirit also grows stronger, which is a good thing, meaning that the fusion between the Spear Spirit and the Qi and Blood is going smoothly.

Xu Yuan was also very motivated to cultivate.

"With the existence of the Qi and Blood Contract, your cultivation of Qi and Blood Power has indeed progressed much faster." Mu Ye found this quite surprising.

Because Xu Yuan's main martial soul resides in his brain, although he can cultivate many of the Body Sect's secret techniques and has a good talent for cultivating these techniques, his growth in qi and blood has always been a hurdle.

Although it seems that Xu Yuan has only been condensing his blood and qi for a little over two months, Mu Ye has actually been observing the strength of his blood and qi for more than a year. Compared with Xu Yuan's senior brother, he is really far behind.

"Well, so the teacher might want to consider this approach to expand the sect's scope of accepting disciples," Xu Yuan suggested.

Makino frowned, not expecting Xu Yuan to bring this up.

The Body Sect has undoubtedly declined in the present day.

If it weren't for his relationship with Zhenhua, possessing a four-word battle armor, and still being among the strongest in the Douluo Continent with the power of a Limit Douluo, the Body Sect might not even be considered a first-rate force now.

Of course, the Body Sect has few disciples because Body Martial Soul owners are rare, and it does not have any special industry advantages. As times have changed, it has gradually declined, but it is very resilient.

The previous sect leader of the Body Sect was a Limit Douluo.

The current sect leader, Mu Ye, is a four-word battle armor master and a god-level mecha pilot.

The next prospective sect leader, Aruheng, has an outstanding martial soul. He has been nurtured by the Body Sect's innate secret techniques since childhood and has the potential to cultivate a flawless golden body. As long as he doesn't die young, he will definitely be a top-tier fighter in the future.

In this respect, the cultivation secrets and methods of the Body Sect are undoubtedly quite powerful, enabling them to produce high-quality works generation after generation even when disciples are scarce.

In terms of lineage, the Body Sect can rival Shrek Tang Sect and challenge the Spirit Pagoda. However, the Body Sect is a sect with a small number of members and no special industries. It cannot monopolize the soul spirit industry like the Spirit Pagoda, and thus it has gradually declined over the past ten thousand years.

But if this situation could be changed, for example, by increasing the number of disciples in the Body Sect...

Why does the Body Sect only accept disciples with Body Martial Soul?

Initially, it was indeed because a group of Body Spirit Martial Masters gathered together for mutual support, but as it developed, the Body Spirit Secret Techniques were perfected generation after generation. In fact, the core of the Body Spirit Sect has always been the cultivation of Qi and Blood.

Without a physical martial soul, the cultivation of qi and blood will be greatly hindered, so the Body Sect has never recruited soul masters who do not have a physical martial soul.

Zhenhua is a special case.

Following Zhenhua, Xu Yuan's suggestion also seemed to mark the beginning of a new era for the Body Sect.

Makino fell into thought.

If the Blood Contract can truly make a Soul Master's Blood Cultivation smoother, without requiring the same level of cultivation as a Body Martial Soul, but at least making it easier to get started and cultivate, it seems that this already meets the entry requirements for the Body Sect...

If Xu Yuan continues his exploration and truly manages to transform his Qi and Blood into a Martial Soul, allowing the Martial Soul to merge with his Qi and Blood, and the Martial Soul's attached Soul Ring becomes the Qi and Blood's attached Soul Ring, then mastering this method would inevitably be comparable to his original Martial Soul.

Furthermore, is a Qi and Blood Martial Soul even eligible for a second awakening...?

Theoretically speaking, it is possible!

Makino was truly moved.

He gave up because he neglected his cultivation in pursuit of the limits of mecha, which damaged his foundation during a training session and prevented him from breaking through to Super Douluo.

However, if the Body Sect still has a chance to rise from the ashes—cough cough, a chance to make a comeback—then he, as the sect leader, might as well regain his former glory!

"I'll consider it."

In today's continent, the top powers have already been divided, and the Body Sect faces great pressure if it wants to rise again.

"Teacher, no rush. The Body Sect can quietly expand its disciple recruitment scope. My Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique can actually be included as a Body Secret Technique. With the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique, the suitable martial soul is not a spear type, but a martial soul with the five elements attribute, or a martial soul with the potential to devour and digest."

Unlike his treatment of others, Xu Yuan was willing to hand over the Devouring Heaven and Earth Great Technique to the Body Sect.

"No need. When the disciples of the Body Sect need your unique skill in the future, let them come to you to learn it themselves." Mu Ye waved his hand, not agreeing to include the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique into the Body Sect's secret arts.
