Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

This can be considered the charm of the Soul Spirit system. Although they lack the ability to cultivate and improve on their own, they can live well by following Soul Masters. Their improvement is linked to the Soul Master. If they encounter a chosen one, they will prosper and increase their age along with the Soul Master's cultivation speed.

Chapter 401: Choice

Xu Yuan's current Martial Soul configuration only has two vacant Soul Ring slots.

Although he possesses Three-Life Martial Souls, he has never prioritized any one Martial Soul in his cultivation. He mainly cultivates the Brain Martial Soul because it has always had a full configuration of Soul Rings, rather than Xu Yuan only cultivating this one Martial Soul.

It is only in this Soul Spirit era, where the age of Soul Rings can be improved postnatally, coupled with his Mental Power and physique always keeping up, that he can cultivate in this way.

Lan Muzi's words are actually somewhat conservative.

He believes that Xu Yuan can aim for a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, but he doesn't know that Xu Yuan already possesses one.

After returning from Star Luo Continent, Xu Yuan used the Five Elements Essence from the Five Elements Beads given by Tong Yu to reshape the origin of his Tianyuan Brush Martial Soul's first Soul Ring, raising it to a hundred thousand years, and subsequently deriving Five Elements Runes.

"I currently have three Martial Souls, sixteen Soul Rings, and two vacancies. Although I don't have any ideas for the sixth Soul Ring of the Tianyuan Five Elements Spear, it is impossible to obtain it by fusing a new Soul Spirit. Therefore, the only vacancy is actually the sixth Soul Ring of the Tianyuan Brush."

Currently, Xu Yuan has two major Soul Spirits for his Brain Martial Soul, six black Soul Rings, five black Soul Rings for the Tianyuan Five Elements Spear, and the sixth Soul Ring will also be based on Jue. Only the Tianyuan Brush Martial Soul has five Soul Rings with one missing.

Tianyuan Brush, one red and four black.

At this moment, Xu Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, summoned the Tianyuan Brush, and placed it horizontally on his legs.

Around his body were five Soul Rings with exceeding age limits.

Looking at his five Soul Rings, Xu Yuan had a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

His brain was running at high speed, deducing what kind of sixth Soul Ring he could obtain with his current configuration to maximize his benefits.

The first Soul Skill, Five Elements Control, is the foundation of Xu Yuan's Tianyuan Brush Martial Soul. The subsequent second, third, and fourth Soul Skills, seemingly about erudition, are actually Xu Yuan's supplements to the first Soul Skill.

Whether it's recording or replicating, it's about learning from the strengths of others, laying the foundation for Xu Yuan to understand the numerous Soul Skills of other Martial Souls.

Only by understanding other Soul Skills can he better develop and perfect his own Five Elements techniques.

The fifth Soul Skill, the Seal Rune, is a product of Xu Yuan's cultivation of the Forbidden Art Seven Absolutes, but it can also be used in conjunction with the Five Elements techniques.

"Although I was a bit confused and disoriented before, the overall direction is still the same."

Xu Yuan murmured to himself.

Two Martial Souls, two development directions for the Five Elements.

The Tianyuan Brush follows the path of Five Elements transforming into all things, while the Tianyuan Five Elements Spear goes completely in the opposite direction, using the Five Elements to devour all things, transforming them into its own power, and enhancing itself.

One follows the laws of heaven and earth, mobilizing the power of the outside world to evolve countless methods; the other nurtures itself, using all things to nourish itself, transforming all things into the Five Elements, and then integrating them into itself based on the Five Elements of the human body.

Looking back at the last few Soul Spirits in the information, Xu Yuan also had an answer.

"These Five Spirit Beasts possess all Five Elements, but they are not very helpful to me. It is this Void Beast that possesses the power of space and can further improve my Tianyuan Brush's methods."

Xu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

It's not that his Five Elements development must follow the path of space.

In fact, the path of Five Elements evolving space is not as good as evolving all things to naturally generate space attributes, nor is it as convenient as earth, fire, water, and wind evolving space.

However, the existence of the power of space is helpful for the development of many Five Elements techniques, especially the involvement in space will help Xu Yuan complete the further improvement of the dream space.

Among the three major Martial Souls, the one with the highest affinity for elements is undoubtedly the Tianyuan Brush.

The Tianyuan Brush itself follows the path of controlling the heavens and the earth. Because the Five Elements can transform into all things, Xu Yuan has always used the Five Elements to construct his Tianyuan Brush system.

Now, space can continue to assist Xu Yuan in completing the development of more Five Elements techniques, and it can also prepare him for the next step of truly transforming the dream space from illusion to reality.

"Void Beast, the darling of space, dwells in space cracks, lives between dimensions, travels between different spatial layers, and grows by devouring the power of space."

The reason why this Void Beast became a Soul Spirit is also because it was curious and interested in Soul Masters. It appeared in Douluo Continent and was discovered by a Soul Master of that time, thus becoming his Soul Spirit.

The information does not describe in detail how that Soul Master used pua on the Void Beast, but Xu Yuan can be sure that the Void Beast was definitely pua'd miserably. Otherwise, if it could roam in the spatial layers, it could definitely run away and no one could catch it.

"If I want to follow the path of space, besides the Void Beast, there are a few other options."

Xu Yuan looked back and scanned the Soul Spirits above a few more times, besides those with space attributes, there were also those with more complex attributes.

After comparing them, he still ruled out the previous options.

He follows the path of erudition, but that doesn't mean his Soul Spirits must also follow the path of erudition.

The Tianyuan Brush itself is compatible with various powers of heaven and earth, so it needs Soul Spirits to grant the basic abilities to control various elements.

At this time, the more pure and natural the basic abilities granted, the better.

The purity of the Void Beast's space attribute is among the top in the entire continent.

"The only problem currently is that I already have four Soul Spirits. Now, my Mental Power in the Spirit Abyss Realm allows me to fuse up to five Soul Spirits, and I can even have one hundred-thousand-year or even Fierce Beast level Soul Spirit, but there is only one slot left."

Xu Yuan broke through the bottleneck of ten thousand Mental Power two and a half years ago.

Now, two and a half years have passed, and his Mental Power increases by hundreds of points every month. Now it is approaching the second small bottleneck in the Spirit Abyss Realm, and the speed has also slowed down, but it is still close to fifteen thousand.

However, two and a half years have only increased it from ten thousand to nearly fifteen thousand. The gap from the Spirit Domain Realm is not small. Not only is there a span of five thousand points, but there are also one large and one small bottleneck.

It would be considered Xu Yuan's luck if he could break through to the Spirit Domain Realm within three years.

Under such circumstances, Xu Yuan fusing a hundred-thousand-year Soul Spirit at this time would mean that he would have to cultivate with the corresponding Martial Soul in the future.

This is also the drawback of Xu Yuan's cultivation method.

Fortunately, his arrangements at least didn't hinder his own potential. Even if he couldn't continue to fuse with new Soul Spirits, the Soul Spirits he already possessed were enough to provide him with sufficient Soul Rings to continue advancing. Just like now, by fusing a 100,000-year Soul Spirit with the Heavenly Origin Brush, he would have no problems for at least the next four Soul Rings, meaning all the way up to the ninth ring.

Xu Yuan frowned.

This required a decision.

Switching Soul Spirits for cultivation didn't have much impact on him.

He wasn't particularly reliant on any one Soul Spirit.

It was enough as long as a Soul Spirit could be attached in time to meet the need for a whole ten levels of Soul Power.

However, if the Brain Soul Spirit no longer gained Soul Rings, without the feedback from the Brain Soul Spirit, it would only be more difficult to quickly reach the Spiritual Domain Realm.

Moreover, Xu Yuan wasn't ready for all four subsequent Soul Rings of the Heavenly Origin Brush to be bestowed by the Void Beast.

Chapter 402: A Dead Spirit

"Let's wait and see."

Sighing, Xu Yuan still didn't immediately ask Yun Ming for the Soul Spirit of the Void Beast.

A 100,000-year Soul Spirit was certainly good, but Xu Yuan wasn't in urgent need of it at the moment.

He already possessed a 100,000-year Soul Ring, so his expectations in this regard were already very low. At least, compared to most Soul Masters, his desire for a 100,000-year Soul Ring wasn't that exaggerated.

After browsing the information again and memorizing some key Soul Spirit memories, Xu Yuan turned his attention back to himself.

"If I don't attach a Space attribute for the time being, then the solidification of my Dreamscape might really only be possible through gradual refinement."

Dreamscape.

Yao Yao hovered around Xu Yuan, reporting on her recent cultivation progress.

"Well, fortunately, the Dreamscape has already reached a bottleneck. Currently, if I don't increase the auxiliary Space Force, I can only wait for my forging technique to advance further."

Soul Forging.

This was Xu Yuan's current forging level.

And when his forging advanced further, it would obviously be Heavenly Forging.

He believed that the difficulty of his Heavenly Forging would be lower than breaking through to the Spiritual Domain Realm.

To be precise, he could complete Heavenly Forging in a shorter amount of time.

However, normally speaking, the Spiritual Domain Realm was the threshold for conducting Heavenly Forging. Without the Spiritual Domain Realm's mental power, it was impossible to perform Heavenly Forging.

In other words, what Xu Yuan said sounded illogical.

In fact, he wasn't too sure about this either.

He could only say that he had a chance to complete Heavenly Forging without the mental power of the Spiritual Domain Realm, but whether he could succeed was unclear.

Just like when he completed Perfect Fusion Forging, bypassing the control over the power of heaven and earth required for Heavenly Forging, and instead using the interaction between the Dreamscape and the real world to perform the Virtual-Real World Furnace Method to complete Perfect Fusion Forging, perhaps the condition of the Spiritual Domain Realm's mental power could also be avoided to some extent with the help of the Dreamscape.

Thus, it could also be considered an opportunity for Yao Yao.

Xu Yuan looked at Yao Yao.

"Yao Yao, you have to work hard yourself. If everything goes smoothly, the day the Dreamscape is completely solidified will be your chance to advance to 100,000 years. Before that, if you haven't even approached 100,000 years in terms of basic age, then you will definitely miss this opportunity."

Xu Yuan said earnestly.

However, Yao Yao on the other side drooped her head, dejected.

Dead spirit.

This Soul Master was starting to assign tasks again.

Damn it, shouldn't a Soul Spirit's age be increased by the Soul Master going to the Spirit Ascension Platform to hunt monsters and absorb spirit power?

"I will stay in the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform for two months during this time, which should help you all increase by one or two ten thousand years," Xu Yuan said.

It had been a long time since he had been to the Spirit Ascension Platform.

The last time he returned to Tianhai City was because Xu Shengqun had broken through. At that time, he actually planned to do some Spirit Ascension there before returning, but unfortunately, he encountered an attack by Evil Soul Masters midway, so he could only launch a wave of counterattacks first, and then he never found the opportunity.

Now that he had time again, Xu Yuan naturally planned to return to Tianhai City and enter the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform for a period of time.

The main reason was that the problem with mental power he had just discovered stimulated him.

Now his mental power was indeed close to 15,000.

It had already become somewhat slow to improve due to the small bottleneck from the intermediate to advanced stages of the Spiritual Abyss Realm of 15,000, and he also needed an opportunity to help him quickly cross this small threshold.

Improving the Soul Spirit was a good way.

The Soul Spirit was inherently bound to the source of mental power. When the Soul Spirit was strong, the Soul Master's mental power would also receive feedback. For a Soul Master whose mental power was in a bottleneck period, increasing the Soul Spirit's age was a clearer way to break through.

It was just a waste of resources.

After all, to reach the level of sufficient feedback to mental power, the improvement of the Soul Spirit was extremely large, and this required being immersed in the Spirit Ascension Platform for too long.

Xu Yuan, who was invincible at the same level, had an extremely fast speed of brushing spirit power, and it would still take an estimated two months. If it were an ordinary Soul Master, it would probably take two or three years to stay in the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform.

The Spirit Ascension Platform consumed a lot of resources and could not be entered casually. The number of places that could be entered each year was limited, and even auctions could not be encountered every time.

It was okay to occasionally encounter an auction and obtain it, but to rely on auctions for a long time to monopolize the entry tickets to the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform for two years, it was likely to offend the middle and high-level Soul Masters of an entire big city.

Only Xu Yuan could go through internal channels, otherwise he would not dare to directly think of this method to quickly overcome the situation when his mental power encountered a bottleneck.

Tianhai City.

Xu Family.

"Two months of the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, you little brat really dare to think," Xu Shengqun couldn't help but scold.

Even the Spirit Transmission Envoy could not completely obtain two months of Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform entry tickets without burden, especially since the Soul Master entering the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform would also harvest spirit power on a large scale.

Still that conversion ratio, Xu Yuan's two months were equivalent to at least one to two years of consumption for ordinary Soul Masters.

Of course, qualifications were one aspect, and resource consumption was another.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan needed two months, not the two years of time for ordinary Soul Masters.

First settle the time, and for the remaining resources, when Xu Yuan's consumption was too large, Xu Shengqun could pay out of his own pocket to make up for the Spirit Transmission Tower.

In fact, these resources did not need to be replenished.

Xu Shengqun's breakthrough to Limit Douluo was only concealed for a few days, and then it was exposed in the battle outside Tiandou City.

Who in the entire Spirit Transmission Tower didn't know that the local emperor of Tianhai City, Xu Shengqun, had broken through to the limit?

Even Qian Gu Dongfeng, who was opposed to Xu Shengqun because of Xu Yuan, did not dare to suppress him, and even congratulated him several times during this period.

The Spirit Transmission Tower headquarters and other Spirit Transmission Envoys also sent gifts to Xu Shengqun.
