Douluo's Demonic Sword Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Spirit

Chapter 158 The Benefits of Inquiring About Soul Beast Intelligence

"Well, Dugu Bo is indeed level 96 now. No wonder we didn't find him when we used our mental power just now. It turns out that his strength has long surpassed ours." Ghost Douluo confirmed, "We should quickly help Nana find a suitable spirit ring and then go back and report this to the Pope."

Ju Douluo nodded, and the two of them quickly returned to where Hu Liena and the other two were.

On the other side, after completely getting rid of Ju Douluo, Dugu Bo let Lin Yi Zhang down.

"Grandpa, why are you here too?" Lin Yizhang asked.

"If I don't come with you, I'm afraid I will never see you again, and my Yanyan will have to be a widow in the future." Dugu Bo snorted coldly.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I made you worry." Lin Yichang apologized.

There was a reason why Dugu Bo was angry. If Dugu Bo hadn't followed him secretly this time, he might have really died.

Therefore, Lin Yi Zhang was not dissatisfied with Dugu Bo's angry words, but felt warm inside.

As the saying goes, "Only those who love you will scold you and teach you; if someone ignores you, you should really feel sad."

“Before you cultivate to the Soul Saint level, you’d better stay by my side obediently.” Dugu Bo said.

"Okay, grandpa." Dugu Bo was very angry at this time, so Lin Yi Zhang had to agree to Dugu Bo's wishes first.

"Did you really find out that I was in the dark just now?" Dugu Bo said.

Lin Yizhang scratched his head and said, "I don't know. I just wanted to scare Ju Douluo and use the ice and fire spring water to sneak attack him. Then I'll take the opportunity to escape."

"Haha, running away? The Ghost Douluo in the dark can kill you with just one soul skill, do you think you can escape?" Dugu Bo said.

"Well, it's a good thing that you followed me secretly this time, otherwise I would be in great danger." Lin Yizhang said.

"Grandpa, let's find a place to set up tent and rest. We still have to hunt souls tomorrow, so we need to stay energetic." Lin Yichang changed the subject to prevent Dugu Bo from continuing to be angry.

"Let's go. What soul beast do you want to hunt this time? If you don't need a soul beast of about 50,000 years old, then the remaining 30,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in Sunset Forest would be suitable for you." Dugu Bo asked as they walked.

"It depends on your luck this time. Fifty thousand year soul beasts are not found everywhere, and even if you have a fixed target it may not be easy to find." Lin Yizhang said.

“Having said that, the ten thousand year soul beasts have a very strong sense of territory and generally will not leave their territory easily, so the intelligence collected is much more reliable,” said Dugu Bo.

"Well, grandpa, I didn't think of buying intelligence. I was too anxious when I came here, so I thought that I would always come across the right one if I looked everywhere, so I didn't think of buying intelligence." Lin Yizhang said.

Lin Yizhang thought of the original novel, when the Shrek Seven Devils hunted souls, they just went directly into the forest to look for them, and they never bought any information about soul beasts.

As expected, the protagonist is the protagonist. Others may spend a month or two looking for soul beasts, but for the protagonist group, not only do the soul beasts come to them on their own initiative, but they are also the most suitable ones.

“You’ve never hunted a ten thousand year soul beast alone before, so it’s normal that you don’t know this. The habitats of hundred-year and thousand-year soul beasts often change, and the information obtained by soul masters is only time-sensitive, so it’s not very helpful. In addition, there are many low-level soul beasts, and they are easy to find, so it’s normal not to inquire about the habitat of the required soul beast. However, in the case of ten thousand year soul beasts, their habitats are generally fixed, and the information is relatively reliable. More importantly, the strength of ten thousand year soul beasts is not something that everyone can contend with. Finding out the territory of the required soul beast not only saves the soul master’s time in searching for the soul beast, but also greatly reduces the risk of casualties caused by the soul master fighting with more soul beasts in the process of searching for the soul beast.” Dugu Bo explained.

"So that's how it is. I understand, Grandpa." Lin Yizhang nodded in understanding.

"Aren't you planning to go out for training after the Soul Master Competition? I support your idea of ​​going out for training. When you travel around the continent for a year or two, you will basically know all this knowledge by then." Dugu Bo said.

Dugu Bo took out a dozen maps from his soul guide after he finished speaking. "I bought these maps in a small town outside the forest. Take a look and see if there is a soul beast you like on them."

Lin Yi Zhang took the map, put it into the soul guide, and continued to follow Dugu Bo.

Soon, the two came to a place suitable for setting up a tent for the night.

After Lin Yi Zhang quickly set up a large tent, he took out a night-shining pearl from the tent. With the help of the light of the night-shining pearl, Lin Yi Zhang began to check the soul beast information recorded on the map.

Taking out the first map, I looked at it and saw that it recorded the location of the lair of an armored bear that was more than 40,000 years old.

"The Iron Armored Bear is a power-type soul beast, and it is also suitable as my soul ring. However, it may not be 5 years old, so it will be eliminated." Lin Yizhang thought to himself.

Taking out the second map and looking at it, it recorded a metal-eating creature that was over 50,000 years old.

"The Gold Devouring Rat, with its sharp claws and fangs, can penetrate gold and break stone. It is very suitable for metal-type weapon spirit masters to absorb as spirit rings, but it is not so compatible with my body spirit."

Lin Yizhang continued to look at the rest of the map, which recorded the routes to the nests of various soul beasts. The soul beasts were all different, including the Star-Eyed Beast, Giant Strength Vine, and Plate-Armored Giant Rhinoceros that were over 40,000 years old, the Mighty Demon Ape, Ground Ankylosaur, Mighty King Kong Bear, Wolverine, and Thousand-Tier Ant King that were over 50,000 years old, and even the Azure Vine, Golden-Winged Eagle, and Silver Moon Wolf that were suspected to be 60,000 years old.

Lin Yizhang was thinking about the attributes of these soul beasts and the possible soul skills they could bring to him.

Ever since he obtained the amplifying soul skill from the 40,000th year soul skill, Lin Yizhang felt that after using all the amplifying soul skills, his body had reached the limit of pressure brought by the amplification.

In other words, even after obtaining amplification-type soul skills, Lin Yizhang could not continue to use them all in combination.

Amplification soul skills seem to have no disadvantages, but in fact, when the degree of amplification is far greater than the limit that the body can withstand, it may cause the body to collapse because it cannot withstand the powerful force in the body.

In other words, Lin Yizhang's body is strong and can now withstand the increase in all attributes brought by the superposition of the first four soul rings.

After discovering this problem, Lin Yichang also went to Dugu Bo to ask about it.

Dugu Bo gave an example that made Lin Yizhang understand the reason immediately. The example Dugu Bo gave was: the amplification of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda is also not limited by cultivation level. A soul master can release amplification soul skills for a Titled Douluo. Conversely, a soul master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda who has cultivated to the Soul Saint level can also amplify soul masters at the Soul Master stage.

This is where the problem lies. If a soul master with a soul power level of only about 10 receives the full power boost from a soul master with a soul power level of more than 70, can this soul master really gain a significant increase in strength without any side effects as expected?
The answer is no. The soul master simply cannot bear the huge increase in the gap, and the final result will only be that the soul master will explode and die due to physical collapse.

Therefore, when it comes to the arrangement of the fifth soul ring, Lin Yizhang is no longer obsessed with finding soul beasts that have a high probability of bringing him soul skills that enhance all attributes.
