Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

If Xu Yuan challenges this alone, he might not necessarily persist until he encounters a suitable soul spirit. Therefore, Na'er still needs to accompany him to climb the tower.

The soul spirit radiance of the ten-thousand-year Thorny Dragon flashed and merged into Na'er's brow, then fell silent.

It seemed the mechanism detected the disappearance of the ten-thousand-year Thorny Dragon soul spirit, determining that Na'er had obtained a soul spirit.

"Soul Spirit Tower, Level 20, cleared. The ten-thousand-year Thorny Dragon soul spirit has been contracted. Remaining contract slots: 1. Please choose whether to enter the next level within ten seconds."

The electronic voice's content had also changed.

The two stepped into the light portal.

Level 21, the figures of the two appeared.

It was still the familiar octagonal hall with eight metal doors.

What was off was that this time, it wasn't just one door that opened.

But two!

No, not just two.

Xu Yuan looked at the three figures behind each of the two slowly opening doors.

Each figure resembled a semi-transparent crystal lion, with elegant and smooth body lines covered in faint starlight.

Their eyes shimmered with brilliant mental light, like the brightest stars in the night sky. Their fur displayed a flowing light and shadow effect, as if formed from countless tiny fragments of souls.

When the six figures moved, their bodies were surrounded by a faint flowing light.

This is—

"Phantom Beasts?" Na'er's voice sounded, filled with doubt.

She looked at Xu Yuan, inquiring whether Xu Yuan would choose this soul beast.

Phantom Beasts can be considered a variant, like Xu Yuan's first soul spirit of his Brain Martial Soul. They are not only mutated existences but also lack a bloodline origin, purely powerful bloodlines that have mutated.

Dream Demons are individuals that have mutated from souls in places where a large number of soul beasts have died. The first generation of Dream Demons purified themselves, making their spiritual bodies purer, eliminating the impurities of each predecessor before the aggregation of souls, and then breeding the Dream Demon race.

Phantom Beasts, on the other hand, were initially mutated by the power of the stars as a two-headed lion. Over time, their mental attributes became stronger, and the two heads gradually degenerated, returning to a single-headed state. However, their brains became more developed, possessing the soul skill of Phantom Clones, allowing them to simultaneously control physical Phantom Clones and the main body in coordination.

Although limited by the intelligence of soul beasts, their overall IQ is not heaven-defying, but they can think simultaneously, as if they have multiple brains.

This is also the reason why Na'er looked at Xu Yuan.

She and Yun Ming both knew about Xu Yuan's Brain Martial Soul.

This time, Xu Yuan was searching for a soul spirit to choose a second soul spirit for his Brain Martial Soul.

Variant.

Xu Yuan felt slightly excited in his heart.

Due to his fear of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King bloodlines, he was very wary of soul beasts with dragon bloodlines when selecting soul spirits. Not only soul beasts with dragon bloodlines, but also beast martial souls that were related to dragons or even respected bloodlines, he would reject them.

Apart from a few variants, there were very few soul beasts that could meet his needs.

This Phantom Beast was a variant soul beast, powerful while not being affected by bloodlines.

"The Phantom Beasts can also be understood."

Seemingly six figures, but in reality, there are only two. Behind the two portals, the three figures each have two that belong to the Phantom Clones released by their main bodies.

The soul skill of Phantom Clones is a physical clone, but Xu Yuan was not envious.

This type of physical clone soul skill had little effect on him, and the clones only possessed a physical body and could not perfectly replicate the strength of the main body. Controlling them would also divert energy.

Apart from agile attack-type soul masters and mental attribute soul masters who follow the illusion path, this type of clone soul skill has little practical use.

Although Xu Yuan also had the Dream Realm on the illusion side, he did not intend to be completely trapped in this direction.

"Let's see what the situation is first."

Chapter 95 My Brain is Above You!

The six figures slowly walked out of the metal doors, looking at Xu Yuan and Na'er, not rushing to attack.

They seemed to possess intelligence, carefully observing Xu Yuan and Na'er's movements, actually waiting for an opportunity.

Their intelligence isn't low.

Perhaps because of the soul beast's nature, their IQ couldn't compare to adult humans, but it definitely reached the level of teenagers in their teens.

About ten thousand years.

Is the mental attribute talent of the Phantom Beasts that strong?

Or is it that after becoming a soul spirit, they still have too much time to think, so their IQ still unconsciously increases?

No one knows how long these Phantom Beasts have been here after being made into soul spirits.

The two energy-shaped replicas have both reached over ten thousand years. Sensing the soul power fluctuations, it's about fifteen thousand years or more. Has the Phantom Beast soul spirit stored in this level reached twenty thousand years?

Xu Yuan frowned.

According to the previous levels, when there are multiple targets, the targets themselves are replica soul spirits. If there are too many replicas, it is impossible to completely replicate the state of the soul spirit, and it will be slightly weaker.

A thousand-year Wind Wolf replicated hundreds of individuals, each with only a few decades of cultivation.

These two replicas are over fifteen thousand years old, so the main body's soul spirit should have reached twenty thousand years of cultivation.

This is the twenty-first level, and it will continue to increase later.

If there is still nothing suitable in the next level, the level after that might be thirty thousand years as a baseline.

The fourth soul ring absorbing ten thousand years beyond the level is already beyond the limit. Going beyond thirty thousand years, even Xu Yuan's physical fitness will not be able to withstand it.

There's no way around it. No matter how much his Qi and blood cultivation keeps up, he still has to bear the soul rings of three martial souls.

Now he already has the demon spirit ring of three five-thousand years, the Tianyuan Five Elements Spear soul ring of three six-thousand years, and a Tianyuan Brush soul ring of six-thousand years.

That's right, Xu Yuan's first soul ring of the Tianyuan Brush and the first soul ring of the Tianyuan Five Elements Spear have now been separated. However, they still belong to the Five Elements Spear Spirit, but in terms of the burden on the body, they already belong to two soul rings.

The process of Xu Yuan splitting his martial soul was something he had been slowly exploring and advancing.

Adding it all up, Xu Yuan had already borne seven soul rings of over five thousand years!

Even with his powerful blood energy, he couldn't choose a thirty-thousand-year or even higher soul ring for his brain martial soul's fourth soul ring.

"This Phantom Beast is also quite good, but choosing it means setting a direction."

Xu Yuan knew that coming to challenge the tower this time was highly uncertain, so he could only choose as suitable as possible, and then the future development direction of his brain martial soul would also be slightly affected.

The moment he recognized the Phantom Beast, Xu Yuan quickly analyzed its compatibility with him.

The compatibility was very high.

However, to truly unleash the value of this Phantom Beast, the future development direction of the brain martial soul would have to change slightly.

"Star attribute..."

The Phantom Beast's initial mutation relied on the power of stars, and it itself also mastered the power of stars. Absorbing it as a soul spirit, Xu Yuan's brain might also have a chance to mutate with the star attribute.

Because many of the Phantom Beast's soul skills rely on the power of stars, it is one of the few soul beasts that can almost stably bring new attributes to soul masters.

And it's the powerful star attribute.

"I'll take this Phantom Beast!"

Xu Yuan said.

He looked at the six figures in front of him.

"Your intelligence is not low, and I even suspect whether the two replicated bodies are led by the same consciousness."

Xu Yuan looked at the six figures, and as he spoke, he noticed that the eyes of two of the main bodies changed slightly.

Sure enough, of the six figures, four were phantom clones, and the two main bodies were led by the same consciousness.

The previous wolf pack and flame demon lion groups were all intelligent simulations, while these two Phantom Beasts were truly controlled by the consciousness of soul spirits.

"You should also be clear about your situation. Choosing a suitable soul master is your best way out, and I will be the most suitable soul master for you."

Unfortunately, Xu Yuan's verbal persuasion was not quite sufficient.

Six lions, as if carved from crystal, quickly pounced from two directions.

When they ran, streams of light followed around their bodies, carrying a hint of psychedelic color, not any illusion, but simply the trajectory of the flowing light interfering with normal vision, creating an illusion.

A claw struck head-on.

Xu Yuan held the Tianyuan Five Elements Spear in front of him, blocking the claw.

What great strength!

Seemingly like crystal carvings, like工艺品 that would break with a touch, he didn't expect the Phantom Beast's strength to be so great.

Xu Yuan retreated backward, the power of blood energy erupted, unloading the force of his whole body, while two Phantom Beasts attacked from the left and right sides.

He suddenly turned around, and the Tianyuan Five Elements Spear thrust out two spears in succession, forcing one of the Phantom Beasts to retreat, then he retracted the spear to block, stopping the other Phantom Beast's attack.

This was just a phantom clone, its strength was a bit weaker than the main body at the beginning, but with the soul power bonus, its attack was not to be underestimated.

Not to say it could completely match a real ten-thousand-year soul beast, but it was not far off.

And the more he fought, the more surprised Xu Yuan was. The Phantom Beast's combat intelligence was also quite good, and even the six bodies it controlled showed no signs of uniformity.

Their performance could be seen as the cooperation of six independent individuals, but at the same time, they had a similar ability to Xu Yuan's first soul skill, mental link, to communicate with each other at any time.

Is this a talent ability?

If so, such an ability is really quite suitable for his brain.

Xu Yuan's eyes became even more eager.

"Alright, it's time to let you see my true strength." Xu Yuan's eyes were completely different.

Since he wanted to subdue them as soul spirits, he naturally needed them to be convinced.

"My brain is above you!"

Xu Yuan's terrifying mental power fluctuations spread.

The overwhelming mental power caused the pupils of the six Phantom Beasts to reveal surprise at the same time.

Among Xu Yuan's various stats, mental power was the most perverted.

The mental power of the Spirit Abyss Realm is normally a realm that can only be reached after becoming a Soul King, and even most Soul Kings may not be able to reach it.

For Soul Emperors and even Soul Saints, the mental power of the Spirit Abyss Realm, if they also have one or two methods to mobilize mental power, will be an important means in battle.

The mental power of the Spirit Abyss Realm is the bottom line for peak soul masters.

In terms of pure mental power realm, Xu Yuan surpassed this Phantom Beast.

And after more than an hour of precipitation, Xu Yuan's mental power had also recovered to 70% of its level.

Yao Yao emerged from the top of Xu Yuan's head, condensing two small hands around her, humming twice.

"Humph! Humph!" (Big guy, surrender quickly, follow Xu Yuan and you'll eat and drink well.)

Chapter 96 Yao Yao's Scheme

Yao Yao's brain was turning rapidly at this moment.

'This big guy can control six bodies at the same time. If he's in the dream space, I wonder how much work he can share!'

'I must keep him, so I don't have to organize materials in the future ~ ~ ~'

With her two small hands around her chest, Yao Yao began to persuade.

It must be said, with Yao Yao's appearance, the six Phantom Beasts no longer attacked.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan also gave Yao Yao a chance to continue speaking.

Na'er also looked at Yao Yao in surprise.
