Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

Xu Yuan squeezed in.

A seven-year-old kid amidst a group of teenagers was quite conspicuous.

Even though Xu Yuan had developed much faster due to his cultivation, breaking through bottlenecks several times, he was only about 1.5 meters tall at the moment, with a hint of childishness still on his face, making him very noticeable.

That's right, seven and a half years old and 1.4 meters tall.

This is also a special situation in Douluo Continent.

Physical development is also linked to martial soul cultivation.

Seeing a child squeezing in, the older students kindly made way for him.

Xu Yuan looked at the sections overseen by several fourth-year seniors and browsed through the research and discussion directions.

His eyes lit up.

I must say, there were indeed topics that interested him.

For example, a Soul Master's thesis on the necessity of nurturing Douluo Armor.

"Once Douluo Armor reaches the two-word stage, it initially possesses spirituality, and the three-word Douluo Armor may even have a basic consciousness, communicating with the Soul Master's mind."

"As everyone knows, four-word Douluo Armor requires Heavenly Refined Metal forged by a Divine Craftsman as material, but there is only one Divine Craftsman on the continent, and Heavenly Refined Metal is so scarce that not everyone has the opportunity to obtain a complete set."

"I once went to Star Luo Continent for exchanges, and the National Teacher of the Star Luo Empire is a four-word Douluo Armor Master. However, it is said that his four-word Douluo Armor was upgraded through his own nurturing."

"Therefore, I raised this question: Is it theoretically possible to replicate the process of a Soul Master using their own body to nurture and upgrade a three-word Douluo Armor? What is the success rate? How to increase the success rate?"

Listening to this senior's explanation, Xu Yuan was also slightly complaining in his heart when he was interested.

Isn't this a future development activity for mecha?

Why is it still Douluo Armor?

However, the topic of bypassing Heavenly Refinement to achieve four-word Douluo Armor is still very attractive.

"Since there are successful examples, it means that there is theoretical support for this path, but..." A female senior hesitantly spoke.

"But what?" The senior who raised the question looked at the senior sister with shining eyes.

"It's just that you have already given the conditions yourself. That National Teacher is a Limit Douluo, and his compatibility with the three-word Douluo Armor should be extremely high. However, even so, he is the only one who succeeded, indicating that it requires opportunity and a chance that suits oneself, otherwise it is impossible to succeed." The senior sister didn't notice the senior's shining eyes and analyzed very seriously: "But you need to know that he is a National Teacher, a Limit Douluo. There are probably only a few opportunities on the entire continent that are more effective than his nurturing, and it also needs to suit oneself."

In short, a special case is a special case. Even if it can be replicated in theory, it cannot be replicated in reality.

Many people around nodded in agreement.

"Since you want to bypass Heavenly Refinement, why not consider other auxiliary occupations?" Xu Yuan asked.

A child interjected, surprising the seniors.

"Little brother, you don't want the mecha designer to design Soul Refined Metal into Heavenly Refined Metal, do you?" A senior sister joked.

Xu Yuan asked back very seriously.

"Isn't it possible?"

Still five updates, the daily update here is calculated from 00:00 to 24:00.

These days are considered normal, they are all posted in the afternoon and evening.

But this makes me very uncomfortable, I'm coding like crazy all afternoon, high intensity, my hands can't take it.

I'm going to separate it.

Probably there will be a chapter at 12:00 midnight or 9:00 or 10:00 in the morning, then 2:00 pm, 4:00 pm, 6:00 pm, and 10:00 pm each.

Chapter 55: Assessment Content

The senior sister was stunned.

Is it possible?

Seeing that Xu Yuan was so small, tender, and quite handsome, she subconsciously teased him.

This question really hadn't been deeply considered.

If not deeply considered, it is indeed impossible.

But with deeper consideration, the senior sister began to frown...

Using the thinking of mecha design to bypass Heavenly Refinement to make four-word Douluo Armor.

The subconscious reaction is to simplify the core magic array, so that the magic array with the effect of four-word Douluo Armor can be engraved on Soul Refined Metal.

This is obviously impossible.

The current development system of Douluo Armor has been simplified to the extreme. Douluo Armor itself is simplified from mecha. In order to facilitate the exertion of individual strength of Soul Masters, while simplifying, many unnecessary functions of mecha are discarded, but there is one that cannot be simplified in any way, that is, the enhancement effect on combat.

The pursuit of Douluo Armor is for strength, not for fame.

If the magic array engraved on Soul Refined can achieve the effect of today's four-word Douluo Armor, then what about engraving more complex magic arrays on Heavenly Refined Metal using this technology?

Will there be new versions of four-word Douluo Armor?

Therefore, there is an equal relationship that cannot be broken, that is, Soul Refined Metal is used to make three-word Douluo Armor, and Heavenly Refined Metal is used to make four-word Douluo Armor.

People also classify the situation of the Star Luo National Teacher as completing Heavenly Refinement in an alternative way.

This is the subconscious reaction of not thinking deeply.

But with deeper consideration, what if this little brother is talking about upgrading metal by means of mecha design?

"It's not just blacksmiths who are dealing with spirituality, other auxiliary occupations are also dealing with it. Why can't practitioners of other auxiliary occupations complete Heavenly Refinement? Even if it's not done overnight, can't gradual induction also be done?" Xu Yuan put forward his own point of view.

The senior who raised the question smiled, without any ridicule, just a helpless smile.

“This little… junior? Do you know what long-term nurturing implies?” The senior didn't wait for Xu Yuan to react and answered himself: “It means you have to constantly adjust your nurturing methods according to the changes in the battle armor, continuing for several years, even a dozen years, or even several decades. The prerequisite is ideally becoming a Limit Douluo, and the amplification effect of the resulting four-word battle armor will be far weaker than a four-word battle armor forged through normal means with Heavenly Refinement.”

Because your strength is powerful, you can nurture it to this level.

Moreover, it's basically impossible to nurture it to the same level as you.

Xu Yuan reacted and knew that the senior was right.

Take the current Limit Douluos of the continent, for example. Perhaps the amplification of a simple four-word battle armor can give an ordinary Titled Douluo the combat power of a Limit Douluo, but Limit Douluos are also divided into levels. The power exerted by such a four-word battle armor master would at most be the lowest Quasi-Demigod among Limit Douluos.

Compared to Demigods or Quasi-Gods who aren't four-word battle armor masters, the strength difference is more than a little.

As for Demigods or Quasi-Gods, they need a four-word battle armor that can amplify them based on their own foundation.

If one spends decades nurturing and ultimately nurtures a set of four-word battle armor only suitable for Quasi-Demigods, the amplification for Demigods or Quasi-Gods would be minimal. What would be the point?

And all of this is based on the assumption that they can successfully nurture it.

It must be said that communicating with seniors is still very rewarding.

It's just that the warm-up before the real competition is all about ideas for battle armor, satisfying Xu Yuan's plans and ideas for battle armor, but there's no real exchange that's useful for improving his secondary profession.

“Junior Xu, if you want to improve your secondary professional skills, you still have to wait for the competition to start before coming. Although these are also informative, they're just riding the wave and have little to do with improving your secondary profession,” Yu Yang said helplessly.

Sighing, Xu Yuan left the Mecha Master Association.

As a transmigrator, he never lacked ideas and imagination, but he couldn't underestimate others. This was a real world. Soul Masters might lack innovative thinking, but even if a Soul Master only had one special idea, dozens or hundreds of people gathered together to discuss, the imagination would be abundant.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Xu Yuan spent these three days under the baptism of imagination.

Inner Court.

Xu Yuan and the other two gathered. Shen Yi looked at their mental state with some helplessness.

She released the statement that the assessment would be difficult in advance to put pressure on Xu Yuan.

As a result, Xu Yuan went to the Mecha Master Association every day like nothing was wrong, while Xu Lizhi and the other two cultivated like crazy, almost exhausted.

Of course, because today was the assessment, Xu Lizhi and the other two had a good night's rest last night.

“Your assessment today is very simple: fight yourselves from half a year ago,” Shen Yi said.

What's simple is the method of assessment, but the assessment itself is not simple.

Defeat yourself from half a year ago?

Xu Yuan was amused when he heard this.

This is not difficult at all.

Xu Yuan half a year ago?

Trash~~

“Don't be careless. Since it's an assessment, it certainly won't be that simple. After all, you've only been cultivating for a year before, and now half a year has passed, your strength has increased significantly. It's not difficult to defeat yourself from half a year ago,” Shen Yi reminded, looking at their expressions.

Looking at Xu Lizhi's tense, relaxed, and then worried expression again, Shen Yi was in a great mood.

Ye Xinglan was fine, her expression was always relatively cold, Xu Lizhi's mood was completely written on his face.

“This time your assessment will be conducted in the Soul Fighting Arena,” Shen Yi explained the content of the assessment: “Do you still remember the Soul Fighting Arena? Your opponents are completely simulated. Although the data is collected from real Soul Masters, the projections during the battle are generated by the system.”

AI.

As everyone knows, AI can be very weak, very坑 (kēng - a Chinese internet slang meaning 'pitfall', 'scam'), or it can be very perverted and unsolvable.

Xu Yuan quickly grasped this point.

Sure enough, Shen Yi said the same.

“Although it's you from half a year ago, the projection will be very strong in terms of combat skills.”

Xu Lizhi's fat face was already crumpled into a bun, but he obviously hadn't realized where the more difficult point was.

“Teacher, what aspects do combat skills include?” Xu Yuan asked.

Shen Yi's eyes curved, smiling slyly.

“In addition to the basic qualities of physical soul power, other abilities are included in the skills.”

Ye Xinglan's expression finally changed significantly at this moment, she felt immense pressure.

Skills, does Sword Intent count?

Purely self-created soul skills, unique skills, do these count?

Xu Yuan thought more.

He could already imagine the scene of fighting against something wearing his own skin, using Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon with one hand, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps under its feet, and purple eyes...

It's simply an eyesore.

Eh—

Wait!

Xu Yuan suddenly froze.

How high is the simulation level of the Soul Fighting Arena?

Will it even simulate the meridian structure of the Soul Master?

Chapter 56: You ban me, I ban you, very fair!

Soul Fighting Arena.

Xu Yuan was very disappointed.

Although the Soul Fighting Arena simulated various data of the Soul Master, it couldn't completely simulate the deeper meridian level.

The unique skills mastered by the projection are just the system's deductions of the characteristics of soul power operation, the effects of the unique skills, and the simulation of soul power consumption.

Well, it's like really mastering them.

Looking inside, there's no soul power operation or anything.

This assessment even has individual and team assessments.

The team assessment is naturally a three-person team battle, while in the individual assessment, Xu Yuan and Ye Xinglan's assessment is to defeat themselves from half a year ago, while Xu Lizhi has to persevere for ten minutes under the 'attack' of himself from half a year ago.

Looking at himself with purple eyes opposite him, Xu Yuan had to get serious.

“Let me see how much the Tang Sect's unique skills can arm me.”

Xu Yuan took the lead.
