Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

"As expected of the product of the fusion of two martial souls."

The martial soul fusion skill in its normal state directly compensates for Xie Xie's disadvantage in martial souls.

Now it can be said that Xie Xie is also a genius whose martial soul is ranked among the best on the continent.

Xie Xie scratched his head and said, "This is also thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have known that my martial soul could have such high strength after re-fusion. With the fusion of light and dark elements, my Light Shadow Dagger also has a certain ability to control space."

Control space?

Xu Yuan's eyes moved.

Afraid that Xu Yuan would overthink, Xie Xie quickly explained further.

"It's not the power to control space. There is still a big gap between my ability and Luo Guixing's ability. It's just that my martial soul has the ability to imprison space, which can restrict opponents during surprise attacks."

Although it's not the power to control space, it's still a very powerful method. Xu Yuan still praised him.

"For a agility-attack type soul master, isn't this kind of method to control the enemy a divine skill?"

Agility-attack type soul masters are generally assassins, and without weakening an assassin's stats, and even enhancing their stats and mechanics, adding a means to control the enemy is simply an epic buff.

"Light Shadow Dagger, is it because it inherited the two attributes of light and darkness?"

"Yes, the soul skills of my previous Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger have achieved a perfect fusion on the Light Shadow Dagger. In addition, my development of the combined skills of the two martial souls allows the fused soul skills to be realized in the form of the fusion of the power of light and dark attributes. Of course, it can also be displayed with a single elemental attribute."

The power that can be generated when opposing elements erupt at the same time is enormous.

Although Xie Xie could use the combination skills of two attributes with the cooperation of two martial souls before, the energy consumed was huge. Now, directly fusing the soul skills is equivalent to him only needing to activate the soul skills.

The energy saved can be completely used to condense soul power and compress soul power, thereby generating a stronger burst.

"The martial soul is fused very well. The ability to derive space imprisonment is proof. I still need to take a look at your soul spirit."

Xie Xie summoned his metal soul spirit as Xu Yuan said.

Because it is fused with his Light Shadow Dagger, and it has also undergone mutation, this metal soul spirit has also formed a dagger shape, but the shape is still extremely rough. Although there is a trace of dragon energy surrounding it, it is not clear. The entire soul spirit also does not have the exquisite pattern of a dragon shape, but just an embryo of a dagger.

"If you are sure you want to strip the dragon bloodline, the Blood Tempering Pool in the Hell Plane should be suitable for you."

"Hell Plane? Blood Tempering Pool?"

Although Shrek has cooperation and exchanges with the Hell Plane, the Hell side has no obligation to inform Shrek of all the opportunities there. Na'er also learned about the existence of the Blood Tempering Pool during her travels in the Hell Plane, and at the same time heard the rumors that the Lord of Hell abolished the demon bloodline there, so she borrowed this theory to realize the auxiliary role of the Blood Tempering Pool in stripping the bloodline.

Xie Xie's eyes lit up.

Since it is a place recommended by Xu Yuan, the effect of using it to strip the bloodline should be excellent.

"Of course, your biggest problem should be the sixth soul ring," Xu Yuan said.

Xie Xie came back to his senses and smiled bitterly.

Indeed, his biggest difficulty now is how to obtain the sixth soul ring.

If he takes Xu Yuan's path, he doesn't know how many lifetimes it will take for his metal soul spirit to give birth to the sixth soul ring.

Not everyone has the ability to add new abilities to their soul spirits like Xu Yuan.

Every transformation of Jue is not a simple matter of integrating a certain attribute of metal, but also Xu Yuan's groundwork before that, as well as the foundation laid by Jue's initial mutation.

Jue initially fused with the Dark Gold Terror Claw, thus possessing the ability of the Dark Gold Terror Claw, deriving the third soul skill, Piercing Spear, and then the Golden Ancient Tree personally performed the fusion of the Gold of Life, obtaining the fourth soul skill, Flame of Life.

After that, the fifth soul ring came from Xu Yuan's own mutation, or rather, the second awakening of the martial soul, possessing the Gold of Blood Qi.

Since then, Xu Yuan has understood Jue's advancement system.

The subsequent sixth soul ring was also his first attempt, fusing with the Gold of Thunder.

Of course, the fusion of this Gold of Thunder is also inseparable from Xu Yuan's own many early insights into thunder, especially the Thunder Body Tempering Method, which makes his body have enough affinity and resistance to the power of thunder. This premise is the foundation for Jue to be able to condense the Gold of Thunder.

Xie Xie is different.

His metal soul spirit is not even a Blood Qi soul spirit.

His martial soul is not a Blood Qi martial soul either.

Under such circumstances, Xu Yuan's path is simply not something he can replicate.

"You can't follow my path, but you can take your own path."

Xu Yuan did not deny his path because of Xie Xie's situation.

His mind is very flexible, and combined with Xie Xie's cultivation experience, he gave Xie Xie a way.

"You don't have to be bound by my path. I know you also want to replicate my path of a soul spirit and a martial soul reaching the end. In fact, this is a different kind of ultimate for us weapon soul masters, a theoretically optimal solution, but also a worst solution."

What can a soul spirit add to a martial soul?

If there are not always strong enough methods to integrate into the soul spirit, to add powerful soul skills to the martial soul, or to lay the foundation for a certain direction, then insisting on the path of one soul spirit is trash.

Rather than that, it is better to have multiple soul spirits.

"If there are no special circumstances, perhaps three to four similar soul spirits are a very good choice. For example, a knife-type martial soul is attached with three knife-shaped soul spirits, as much as possible to allow the three knife-shaped soul spirits to give the soul master different soul skills. This is a good choice."

"Is that so?"

Looking at Xie Xie who was thoughtful, Xu Yuan interrupted his thoughts.

Don't think too much.

I haven't talked about you yet.

"And you, Xie Xie, you have special circumstances. Your soul spirit has undergone fusion, perhaps you can try to fuse different metal soul spirits."

"Fuse different metal soul spirits?"

"That's right, fuse another metal soul spirit, and after obtaining the soul ring of the new soul spirit, try to let your soul spirit fuse with the new metal soul spirit."

Xie Xie's eyes lit up.

In this way, he can both continue down Xu Yuan's path and solve his problem.

Although it's uncertain whether they can merge, at least it has shown him a direction.

“Of course, there is also a major problem with this approach, which is the strength of the Soul Spirit.” Xu Yuan said, “The metal Soul Spirit is already a depressed field. Among the metal Soul Spirits in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, I don't even know if there are any dagger-type metal Soul Spirits, or even if there are any ready-made metal Soul Spirits now. If you wait for the Spirit Transfer Pagoda to manufacture a new Soul Spirit, the age of the new Soul Spirit will be very low, and you may not even be able to choose a Soul Spirit with too high of an age.”

A low age means no intelligence, not even instinct, just a weak gathering of spirituality.

This is a characteristic unique to metal Soul Spirits.

A hundred-year Soul Spirit.

If he merges with a new Soul Spirit during his sixth Soul Ring, but the Soul Spirit is only a hundred years old, it would be unique on the continent.

Xu Yuan himself couldn't imagine that scene.

Black, black, black, black, black, yellow!

Hilarious.

Xie Xie's surprised expression also froze.

Beside him, Feng Wuyu also had an unimaginable expression on his face.

He was also imagining the scene Xu Yuan described in his mind.

It's really too beautiful, unimaginable.

“Moreover, Soul Spirit fusion should also balance the age. How will you adjust the age of your Soul Rings at that time? These are all things to consider.” Xu Yuan continued.

“Of course, there are still advantages to doing this. You can solve the problem of mental power in an unconventional way. As long as your mental power reaches the Spirit Abyss Realm, you can then merge a Soul Spirit into each of your next four Soul Ring positions, the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth.”

Five Soul Spirits merge into one.

No, strictly speaking, six Soul Spirits merge into one.

Xie Xie took a deep breath.

“Xu Yuan, I believe you.”

His current path was created under Xu Yuan's inspiration, and now he can only trust Xu Yuan.

Moreover, so what if the newly merged Soul Spirit is only a hundred years old?

He can still Ascend Spirit.

It's just that the cost will be greater.

But if he's really willing to invest resources, there definitely won't be a problem.

“Okay, if you take this path, I suggest that the Soul Spirits in your sixth, eighth, and ninth Soul Ring positions have different abilities. In fact, you don't necessarily have to choose metal Soul Spirits. You can also choose other Soul Spirits that don't have intelligence, such as plant-type Soul Beasts that haven't been enlightened but have Soul Beast characteristics.”

Some plant-type Soul Beasts can already produce Soul Rings, but their own spirituality hasn't condensed, and they have no intelligence.

A representative example is the low-age plant-type Soul Beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which generally only grow for a few decades but have hundreds of years of cultivation, but have no intelligence at all.

Xu Yuan's words undoubtedly reduced the burden in Xie Xie's heart.

The range of Soul Spirits that can be chosen is still very wide.

“Aren't you a member of the Tang Sect? You can try to apply for a hundred-year immortal herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.”

Hundred years?

Immortal herb?

The combination of these two words caused even Feng Wuyu's mind to crash.

Generally, medicinal material-type Soul Beasts can be considered immortal herbs after reaching the hundred-thousand-year level.

However, if a hundred-year-old is to be called an immortal herb, there are only a few particularly powerful categories.

Such as the Blazing Apricot Flood Dragon and the Octagonal Ice Profound Grass, several immortal herbs that were once incomparably dazzling in the history of the Douluo Continent.

However, even if an immortal herb has just taken root in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it should be more than a hundred years old, right?

“You have to judge the specific age yourself, and try to ensure that the new Soul Spirit has no intelligence, otherwise, trying to merge two intelligent individuals will increase the difficulty for no reason.”

Just like Na'er and Gu Yue, even with Gu Yue constantly sharing memories with Na'er, unimaginable resistance still occurred.

Even in the original work, there is resistance to the fusion of the two, as the two are ultimately two individuals.

“I know.”

“For the Soul Spirit of the seventh Soul Ring, try to merge a real dagger-type Soul Spirit.” Xu Yuan finally suggested.

Xie Xie thought for a moment and nodded very seriously.

That makes sense.

The seventh Soul Ring is a very important position. Merging a real dagger-type Soul Spirit will be a killing move.

This suggestion also made Xie Xie completely believe in Xu Yuan's unique insights on Martial Soul development.

This kind of thinking is really imaginative.

Perhaps it was because of this that he had the idea of splitting the two forms of the Martial Soul and creating a unique Three-Life Martial Soul back then?

Xu Yuan left.

Feng Wuyu looked at Xie Xie and couldn't help but ask, “Are you really going to follow the direction Xiao Yuan said?”

Merging a hundred-year Soul Spirit into the sixth Soul Ring, if any other Soul Master gave this advice, it would be no different from crippling Xie Xie.

But this is the advice given by Xu Yuan.

“Elder Feng, I have even given up on Dual Martial Souls, so it's nothing to give up on high-age Soul Spirits. Moreover, my first five Soul Rings have already supported my strength.”

Five black ten-thousand-year Soul Rings have already provided him with the Soul Ring strength of a normal nine-ring Title Douluo.

“And the most crucial point…”

Xie Xie hesitated for a moment and said, “The most crucial point is that my body can't withstand more high-age Soul Rings.”

A look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Why hasn't he broken the pot and smashed it?

He is not only trapped by Xu Yuan's path, but also limited by his own physical condition.

Five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings are already extremely exaggerated for an agility-attack Soul Master.

He only has five Soul Rings, and all five Soul Rings are ten-thousand-year, which has never existed in the history of the Douluo Continent.

The reason why Xie Xie can do this is also because of Soul Spirit fusion.

His ten-thousand-year Soul Ring is equivalent to using a bug, using the fusion of the Soul Spirit to advance, thereby triggering the promotion of the Soul Ring. A wonderful reaction occurred in this process, causing his five Soul Rings to advance to ten-thousand-year Soul Rings without bringing the pressure that five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings should have.

What attracts him most about Xu Yuan's proposal is the fusion of Soul Spirits.
