Self-struggle starting from Douluo

Chapter 1 It all started with an essay

Six years ago, a meteor fell from the sky and exploded in the sky above Douluo Continent, turning into dozens of fragments that fell all over the continent.

A soul master accidentally picked up one of the fragments and after injecting soul power into it, he was shocked to find that there was actually a huge opportunity hidden in it.

With the support of soul power, the fragments can be transformed into a light curtain, like a shelf for selling goods, displaying all kinds of magical items.

For example, soul bones, soul bones of various soul beasts, from soul bones that are ten or a hundred years old, thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, are all included, and there are even external soul bones!
For example, spirit rings, from the first ring to the ninth ring, can specify to increase the spirit ring age!
For example, soul beasts can directly increase cultivation, strengthen bloodlines, or directly avoid heavenly tribulations.

In addition, there are soul guides, soul guide inheritance, divine inheritance, god-granted soul rings, martial soul evolution, martial soul repair, second martial soul awakening... and so on.

Which soul master can resist such a huge temptation?

The soul masters of the entire Douluo Continent were completely caught up in a crazy fight for these fragments, which lasted for two years before it gradually subsided.

On the one hand, it was because of the interference of big forces, but more importantly, the soul masters found that these fragments looked tempting, but they were not edible at all.

Because to buy any item there, you need points, but points... there is no way to get them.

At least whether it is the Spirit Hall, the upper three sects, the lower four sects, or the two empires, they are all helpless against "points".

Naturally, there is no verification as to whether the products inside can actually be purchased or whether they are truly effective.

As a result, these fragments, which were called "God-given" by soul masters, became useless.

Although the big powers and some lucky people still hold on to the "God's gift" in the hope that one day they will find a way to obtain "points", most soul masters will no longer risk their lives for this thing whose authenticity they don't know... unless one day they find the accurate source of "points"!
However, no matter whether they are big forces or lucky ones, after six years of research, they can only drool at the pile of goods and have to give up or pass them on to the next generation of the sect and put their hopes on the future.

Until today, six years later, the "Tianci" that had remained unchanged for six years finally changed - in addition to the product column, there was an additional panel, as if someone had written something on it.

The handwriting was very light, like a pen mark left through three or four layers of sheepskin. If you didn't distinguish each word one by one, you couldn't make out what was written.

And at the bottom of this text, there is a clear line of words: "Value 7, get 7 points"!
Almost all those who possessed the "God-gift" chose to conceal the fact silently in their ecstasy.

Of course, almost does not mean all!
The hall of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was blocked. There were only four people in the empty hall: the Sect's leader Ning Fengzhi, the two great priests Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, and a six-year-old girl, the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong.

At this time, three adults surrounded Ning Rongrong and looked at her seriously.

Ning Rongrong raised her thin arm, with a bracelet on her wrist. A small "God-given" was inlaid on the bracelet.

An insignificant amount of soul power was input into it, and "Heaven's Gift" projected a screen in Ning Rongrong's eyes, but except for her, the other three could not see it.

Ning Fengzhi and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment, Ning Fengzhi said, "Everyone could see the "gift from heaven" before, but now... Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu, what do you think is going on?"

After a while, Bone Douluo said thoughtfully: "Could it be... that he recognized his master?"

Jian Douluo gently grasped her slender wrist, replaced Ning Rongrong's soul power input, and said with a fixed look in his eyes, "Only those who input soul power can see it! There are indeed some changes on it. Someone left a message on it... Maybe this person is the real owner of "Heaven's Gift"? "

Little Ning Rongrong made a bitter face and said, "I can't see clearly what's written on it, and I feel dizzy when I see it..."

Jian Douluo smiled dotingly and said, "To read the text above, you need enough mental strength. Rongrong is still young now, and his mental strength is not enough. It will be fine when he grows up."

"Ok."

Ning Rongrong muttered unwillingly: "Then Grandpa Jian, please read it to me."

Jian Douluo smiled dotingly and said, "The handwriting is very light, and Grandpa has to look carefully to distinguish it. I will read it to you now. It says... Awakening the martial spirit today..."

Suddenly, not only Sword Douluo, but even Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo beside him changed their expressions.

The three of them looked at each other, and saw shock in each other's eyes: This was written by a six-year-old child! Six-year-old Ning Rongrong felt dizzy after reading it for a long time, but a six-year-old child left words on it... At least it proves that this child's mental strength is much stronger than Ning Rongrong!
Ning Rongrong didn't notice this, and kept urging him, "Grandpa, hurry up and read. What's next?"

Exhaling slowly, Jian Douluo exchanged glances with the other two and continued reading.

……

“I awakened my martial soul today. Although the result was not ideal, the process was magical. I could clearly feel the soul power flowing through my body. It is difficult to describe it to someone without soul power. It is like watching others eat countless delicacies, but if you don’t taste it yourself, you will never know what it tastes like!
It seems that I have two martial souls, but I always feel that only the blue silver grass on my right hand is my martial soul. The thing on my left hand is more like a foreign object. I cannot sense it like the blue silver grass martial soul... This makes me feel a little uneasy.

But since I can achieve this, there is no point for me to worry now and I can only accept it calmly.

I only have half-level innate soul power, so it took me some time to study this thing. Just like the martial soul, it is illusory and cannot be touched by external objects, let alone leaving words on it with a pen.

But my mental power can. When I concentrate my mental power, I can barely write on it. The handwriting is so light that it is almost invisible. It takes a lot of effort.

But this is indeed a good way to exercise my mental strength, so I decided to write something on it every day to exercise my mental strength.

My martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, and my innate soul power are half level, which means that even if I have no shortage of resources, I can only cultivate to level 29 at most in the future...which also means that I can see the end of my life at a glance.

After twenty years of hard training, you will try your best to form effective combat power in the first two spirit rings, then join a team to hunt souls for others. In the meantime, you may meet a girl, get married and have children, and put your hope on the next generation...

Of course, the most likely scenario is that I will die in a soul hunt or at the hands of a soul master. Although this kind of life is not bad, I still decided to give it a try to avoid regrets in the future.

If you want to rise up, you must find the direction of your struggle and not rush around like a headless fly.

Find the problem and then find a way to solve it!

At present, my problem is that my innate soul power is too low, which leads to a very slow cultivation speed and gets stuck at the bottleneck of level 29.

The bottleneck is still far away from me, so I won’t consider it for now. The slow cultivation speed is ultimately due to the low innate soul power. To solve this problem, we need to proceed in two steps.

The first step is acquired cultivation. In addition to the so-called "Xuantian Gong", I have also heard that the simulated environment can speed up cultivation.

Blue silver grass is everywhere. The simulated environment is very simple for me. There is still a question: why can the simulated environment speed up cultivation? This question will be pondered later.

The "Xuantian Gong" thing is not easy to master, but it's not a big problem. If there is no technique, can't we create it ourselves?

The second step is to try to change the innate nature. To change something, you must first understand it. How is the innate soul power produced?

During the martial soul awakening ceremony, I paid special attention to my body. I was surrounded by soul power, and then I felt the soul power flowing in my body inexplicably. After the ceremony ended and the external soul power was withdrawn, the soul power flow in my body became quiet, and I could only feel it vaguely... At that time, I had a hunch that my innate soul power would be very low, and sure enough, it was only half a level.

It is safe to assume that the external environment stimulates the internal body, thereby awakening the martial soul and the innate soul power as well.

Then we can conclude that the innate soul power itself is dormant in my body and only flows when stimulated by external factors!
When I awakened my martial soul, the soul power in my body flowed along a very short, simple route. If I actively let the soul power flow to more places, or even throughout my body, would it be possible to awaken more of the dormant innate soul power in my body?
I asked a kid from the same village who had awakened his Hoe Spirit. The flow path of his spirit power when he awakened was different from mine, but it was also a very short and simple path.

If the route where soul power flows is called "meridian", then can I guess that the more complex the soul power flow route is, the more meridians are opened, and the higher the innate soul power is?
Once you have collected more soul power meridians from the awakening of your martial soul, you can give it a try!
So annoying, how many years has the history of Douluo Continent's spirit masters been around? Has no one ever collected them? I don't know if the big powers have any?

Huh? The quality of a martial soul is directly proportional to its innate soul power. Could it be that the more complex the meridians through which soul power flows when awakening, the more powerful the martial soul will be?

No, it should be the other way around. The stronger the martial soul, the more complex the meridians through which the soul power flows, which leads to higher innate soul power... So, my guess is likely to be correct?
Martial spirits can be inherited, so does martial spirit come from blood? It should be more than that. People cannot control their blood, but they can control martial spirits.

Therefore, martial soul should be a combination of blood and spirit!
Bloodline gives martial spirits their shape and attributes, so what role does the spirit play in it? Is it just control?

What is the connection between spirit, soul power, and blood?
I have too many questions, but it all comes down to my lack of knowledge!
I need to read more books, learn more knowledge, liberate my mind, and boldly imagine, guess, and then verify!
It seems that I have found my way!"
