Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

Remote control is fine, but directly merging into the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear to control it is not.

“Phantom Star, why don't you give it a try? It's very different from your own abilities, just consider it a new experience.”

Chapter 166 Final Exams

“Besides, you're entering these soul beasts, not being entered by them, you're not at a disadvantage.”

Xu Yuan continued to persuade Phantom Star.

Hearing this, a thoughtful expression appeared in Phantom Star's eyes, and he nodded in agreement.

That seems right, I'm not at a disadvantage!

Understanding this, Phantom Star no longer looked embarrassed.

He looked at the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear that Xu Yuan had conjured.

“This Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear is conjured by me using the fused Darkgold Terrorclaw. Conjuration soul skills also have limitations. Although I feel that theoretically, with further development, I can conjure any soul beast, and even the tools I draw have a chance of becoming real, but they must all imitate the true artistic conception, not just the surface.”

The reason Xu Yuan was able to conjure this Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear was because he had fused with the Darkgold Terrorclaw.

The things he can currently conjure, besides everyday tools, are only the soul spirits he has fused with and himself.

Of course, this is under the premise of conjuring something with the other party's characteristics.

If he were just conjuring an ordinary bear, or a black dragon that looked exactly like Di Tian, Xu Yuan could still draw it, but he wouldn't be able to give the black dragon Di Tian's abilities, and it might not even have dragon pressure.

Xu Yuan's statement of conjuring five soul beasts with the five elements was not just talk.

He himself possesses the five elements and has a basic understanding. By fusing them into the corresponding soul beasts, he can initially conjure the other party's abilities.

For example, the Blazing Fire Lion. Xu Yuan can imitate the appearance of a lion and integrate his own control over the power of fire elements into it, thereby conjuring a lion with the ability to control fire elements.

However, this is just a rigid assembly of procedures, not an organic combination. It has basic abilities and the appearance, but it is not a true Blazing Fire Lion.

This limitation is actually quite significant.

However, if Xu Yuan's fourth soul skill is taken into account, then the meaning of conjuration becomes much greater.

The imperfection of the conjured object is the biggest shortcoming of this soul skill.

And replication, because it is a copy, does not reach the level of the original. In actual combat, it is difficult to play a key role, making it useless.

But when the two soul skills are combined, one replicates not for combat, but for researching conjuration, and then achieves a '100%' replication through the form of conjuration.

These are just Xu Yuan's initial ideas for his Tianyuan Brush's third and fourth soul skills. In fact, there are many more ideas, but due to the short time since obtaining the soul skills and even less time to think, these are all he has for now.

“Phantom Star, give it a try. Although it's not the same race, the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear's size, strength, and defense attributes are all compatible with you. You should be able to merge easily.”

Phantom Star came to the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear with complex feelings.

He hesitated for a while, looking conflicted, then his eyes hardened.

What's there to be afraid of!

Just like Xu Yuan said, I'm not at a disadvantage!

He directly transformed into a illusory soul body and entered the body of the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear.

Xu Yuan sensed his state through his connection with Phantom Star.

His eyes fluctuated, somewhat surprised.

The fusion was very smooth.

Through Phantom Star's response, Phantom Star could basically use the body's innate abilities without any obstacles.

As long as it's not a skill acquired later, he can use it directly.

“It's a pity that I can conjure this Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear because of the Darkgold Terrorclaw. The conjured Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear is only strong in its Darkgold Terrorclaws and physical strength, but it has no soul skills at all.”

But that's enough.

This is already good news.

“Very good, I will go to the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform to absorb spirit power soon. When I see a suitable soul beast, I will replicate it and then try to develop the conjuration soul skill to find you your favorite body.”

Phantom Star flew out of the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear's body and nodded in agreement.

This body is good, the claws are very strong, but it's a bit clumsy.

“Aren't you able to control multiple bodies at the same time? The Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear itself is one of the few that possesses metal properties, but I don't know enough about it and haven't developed it properly. When I have the opportunity to perfect this body, it will be your main battle body.”

Phantom Star's eyes revealed a thoughtful look, and he nodded knowingly.

So, this is the benefit of becoming a human soul spirit.

In the past, Phantom Star had never thought that he could improve himself in this way during his future growth.

“However, it's difficult to perfect the body of a top soul beast. I'll first find a soul beast type with the five elements for you and conjure it for you. You can use these bodies to practice.”

Phantom Star immediately drooped down.

He still has to practice that Five Elements Divine Light Barrier.

“Not only the Five Elements Divine Light Barrier, but also the Greater Five Elements Divine Light. We have to try to develop these, otherwise, are we going to waste soul ring slots to obtain these soul skills in the future?”

Xu Yuan said with a straight face, indicating that his soul ring slots were very precious and should be saved whenever possible.

Only three nines are twenty-seven soul ring slots, and now twelve have already been used, leaving only fifteen slots!

That's only two more slots than Wu Siduo.

“Moreover, my Tianyuan Five Elements Spear martial soul will definitely not fuse with other soul spirits again, and I only plan to use Jue as the only soul spirit, fusing many abilities to derive nine great soul rings. Calculating like this, I have five fewer slots, leaving only ten slots.”

Further subdivided.

“Okay, okay!” Phantom Star's mental wave came: “I got it! Stop calculating.”

Phantom Star said that he was so disturbed that his brain was messed up.

Xu Yuan nodded, very pleased.

A promising child.

He casually drew animals such as tigers and lions suitable for the five elements, gave them the ability to control the five elements respectively, and after conjuring them, Xu Yuan let Phantom Star possess the five bodies and cooperate with each other to study a series of moves such as the Five Elements Divine Light Barrier and the Greater Five Elements Divine Light.

Of course, Xu Yuan didn't completely hand over this task to Huan Xing; he himself would also help to improve it.

For example, how to break through in thinking, and the guidance of ideological guidelines, these were all under his direction.

Time passed.

A month had passed since the splitting of his Martial Souls.

Xu Yuan did not feel any discomfort.

However, the fundamental reason for this so-called lack of discomfort was still due to the massive life force that Old Tree had instilled in him to compensate.

In reality, his two Martial Souls were still in a period of adaptation.

They were constantly undergoing changes, but it didn't affect daily simple cultivation.

Outbursts would be somewhat limited, but fortunately, Xu Yuan didn't need to unleash these two major Martial Souls for the time being.

First Grade, Class One.

"Students, the first half of the academic year is coming to an end, and next is the final exam you've all been looking forward to," Shen Yi said.

The students all wore speechless expressions.

Who would look forward to a final exam?

According to the rules, the first-grade classes of Shrek Academy's Outer Court eliminate ten students every year after they just enroll.

With such great pressure, they wished the final exam would be as late as possible; who would look forward to it?

Chapter 167: Borrowing Flowers to Offer to Buddha?

Shen Yi was not surprised by the reaction of the students below.

"According to the academy's regulations, ten students will be eliminated each academic year, and five of you will be eliminated after this final assessment," Shen Yi said with a serious expression.

Xu Yuan raised his hand.

"Teacher, is there any way for everyone to pass?"

Tang Wulin turned his head; he had also thought of this question just now, but he was not the class monitor, and he didn't have the motivation to take the lead in asking this question at the moment.

He just didn't expect that Xu Yuan, who was usually busy with cultivation and rarely showed up in class, would be so responsible.

He even cared about his classmates.

Shen Yi looked at Xu Yuan and nodded with a smile: "Of course there is."

Her tone was relaxed as she explained the academy's assessment system.

"Based on your performance in the first half of the semester, plus your performance in the upcoming final assessment, we will give you your final exam scores, and determine whether or not you will be eliminated based on the scores you receive in this assessment."

"According to the regulations, the five students with the lowest scores will be selected for elimination, but there is also a passing line, which is sixty points. If all students are above the passing line, then there is a possibility that the entire class will not be eliminated, but next semester, the passing line will be raised by five points."

Xu Yuan frowned again when he heard this kind of system.

He could actually understand that this was to put pressure on the students.

The mechanism Shen Yi spoke of brought enormous pressure, but it also gave people hope.

It was possible not to be eliminated!

The so-called elimination of ten people was not a rigid condition; as long as one was good enough, then one would not be eliminated just because one was at the bottom of this class.

Being even higher than the mid-level standard of the previous class, what if one was at the bottom of this class, one could still stay in Shrek Academy's Outer Court to cultivate.

"Students whose scores exceed the passing line can also give their scores to students who don't have enough, but I must also remind you that if you want to enter the Inner Court in the future, you also have to look at your exam scores each year. If you give your scores to others now, then it will be very difficult to enter the Inner Court in the future, and you may even lose the opportunity because of it."

Hearing Shen Yi say this, Xu Yuan didn't feel any pressure at all.

If one's talent was sufficient, the so-called conditions and assessments were all nonsense.

So even if his final exam scores were always barely above the passing line, it wouldn't affect his entry into the Inner Court.

However, he was the only student who could have this confidence.

Even Wu Siduo felt a burst of pressure.

One must know that the minimum standard for entering the Inner Court was to become a One-Word Battle Armor Master before the age of twenty-five, and this still had to go through assessment, and then be screened from past academic performance. Ultimately, being under twenty-two years old was the most hopeful, but this was also under the premise that all grades were always kept at their best.

If one gave their scores to others, then this requirement would become more and more harsh.

Xu Yuan nodded.

He stood up.

Shen Yi and Wu Zhangkong stared intently, without stopping him.

"Since there is an opportunity for everyone to continue studying in the Outer Court, then as the class monitor, I naturally hope that every student in our class can stay."

"The passing line for the first assessment is sixty points, which is also the easiest to reach. If all the students in the class can achieve this level, then I can guarantee to you that even if the passing line increases by five points each time in future assessments, you will still have hope of achieving the same goal."

"Because, as long as the entire class stays this time, I can guarantee that as long as it is the Thousand Refined Grade One metal needed to make battle armor, I can provide it to you at the first opportunity. Of course, you have to pay for the materials yourself, or buy them from the association, and I can only charge half of the association's standard forging fee."

Shen Yi and Wu Zhangkong's gazes were solemn as they scrutinized Xu Yuan.

Was it necessary?

To have everyone in the class he was the class monitor for stay, the cost could be considerable.

After all, there were more than a hundred people in the class, and the consumption of so many people making battle armor was not small. One battle armor required at least eleven pieces of Thousand Refined Grade One metal, and that was under the condition of 100% success rate.

In fact, the success rate of making battle armor, let alone 100%, from beginning to end, even with the improvement after becoming skilled, averaged less than 50%, and that was for excellent students.

And those battle armor that were more difficult to make might have a success rate of less than 30%.

This meant that one person would need twenty or even thirty pieces of Thousand Refined Grade One metal.

One hundred people meant two or three thousand pieces!

Forging ten pieces a day would also require continuous forging for a year.

The cost of this was considerable.

"Of course, this is also a huge project. In fact, I hope you can help each other, after all, there are still some Thousand Refined Grade One blacksmiths in our class."

Tang Wulin's mouth twitched, and he had a bad feeling.
