Douluo: Becoming the Taoist Priest from the Enlightenment Tree

Chapter 53 The Secret of Soul Ring
"Let's go, don't look anymore. I'm not stopping you from coming back."

Wu Dao felt helpless when he saw the sad expression on Apollo's face.

He and Apollo also went back home to see that the so-called home was nothing more than a shabby wooden house and a small piece of cultivated land.

Judging from the fact that this guy was able to awaken his martial soul, his mother is probably a soul master, otherwise it would be impossible for her to live here alone with a child.

Apollo said nothing, looking at the endless vast ocean in front of him, with a hint of uneasiness and excitement in his eyes.

"Point to the direction of Yin and Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire."

At this time, Wu Dao was wearing a blue shirt with fluttering sleeves, holding the book in his hands, with a hint of mystery and a bit of elegance.

An arrow soon appeared on the book, and Wu Dao and Apollo were teleporting continuously in the air, which shocked him.

Soon, Wu Dao brought him to the Sunset Forest. The scenery and area here were indeed incomparable to the Star Dou Great Forest, and there were not many powerful soul beasts inside.

After patting Apollo's body gently and roughly knowing the guy's physical strength, Wu Dao grabbed a thousand-year-old terror-claw bear and knocked him out in front of him.

"Here, use your martial spirit to kill it."

Wu Dao signaled Apollo to hurry up, as he couldn't wait to truly study the so-called spirit rings.

Apollo did not say anything, but silently summoned his trident, and then stabbed it hard into the head according to his fishing movements.

Blood gushed out from the wound caused by the trident, and the Terrorclaw Bear trembled and died.

The next moment, a slightly lavender soul ring slowly floated out from the body of the Terrorclaw Bear and floated quietly in the air.

Wu Dao subconsciously pushed Apollo aside and began to study the object in front of him using the authority and knowledge he gained from the book.

Apollo had a question mark on his face. It was not like he knew nothing about soul masters. After all, his mother had shown him her soul ring before and told him the basic knowledge.

Therefore, he also knew that soul masters needed soul rings to advance. Isn’t this prepared for himself?
However, he knew that he was not qualified to ask Wu Dao for anything, so he just stood there and watched Wu Dao doing some strange things.

Wu Dao was very excited because through research, he found that his previous guess about spirit rings was correct.

Soul rings will not appear when soul beasts hunt each other. Wu Dao was delayed by various things before, and soul rings themselves do not have much effect on soul beasts. Therefore, Wu Dao did not capture humans to study soul rings.

Wu Dao happened to meet Apollo, the son of the sea god who was not originally recorded in history, so he began to study him.

By connecting to the database of plane consciousness, and with the real object in front of him for experimentation, Wu Dao had a general understanding of the principles of this thing.

The soul fragments of the soul beast, plus part of the soul power and blood in the body, are extracted and processed according to the rules of the plane, and finally form a soul ring that can be absorbed by the soul master.

After the soul ring is absorbed by the soul master, it is filtered by his own martial soul to obtain the soul skills used by the soul master.

Thinking of this, Wu Dao suddenly realized that the humans on Douluo Continent were also hybrids in a sense.

Because they constantly absorb the soul rings formed by soul beasts, and even the soul bones they produce, which contain fragments of the soul beasts' bloodlines, but they are very small.

In Douluo Continent, people can get married, have children and grow to maturity at the age of twelve or thirteen. This is not the effect of soul power at all, but the result of the soul beast bloodline in their bodies gradually starting to take effect after they possess soul power.

Absorbing soul rings continuously strengthens the soul beast bloodline in the body, so the body will become stronger after each absorption.

After all, compared to the body of a soul beast, the human body is still too weak, and the body develops rapidly under the nourishment of blood.

The blood in the body of an older soul beast is more powerful, the improvement to the physical fitness is more obvious, and the effect of the soul bone is also better. This is why Tang Hao can easily defeat Zhao Wuji, who uses soul power, with his physical body alone.

Wu Dao had a strange look on his face, he didn't expect the research to come out with such a result, right? Every person in Douluo Continent is a bastard, right?

However, Wu Dao was very curious as to why humans did not display the characteristics of soul beasts.

After all, after absorbing for so many years, there should be some changes, instead of still looking like a human being like this.

Wu Dao suddenly thought of the Tang family again. Ah Yin was a soul beast, Tang Hao was a human, and Tang San had half soul beast blood in his body. Tang San's wife Xiao Wu was also a soul beast before, but she transformed into a human, so I don't know if she can still be considered a soul beast.

If counted, Tang San's son Tang Wulin has three-quarters soul beast blood, and his wife is also a soul beast.

Then Tang San’s grandson Lan Xuanyu possessed seven-eighths of soul beast blood. Until this time, he showed the trait of laying eggs, which was different from humans, but he was still born in human form.

After counting them carefully, Wu Dao could only think that this was the rule of Douluo Continent. As long as one had human blood, one would appear to be human.

The same is true for the Yuanen family left behind by the Titan Ape.

Adding soul rings to humans is a system that is of no benefit to soul beasts, and even forcing human blood to dominate over soul beasts. Wu Dao couldn't help but exclaim "How terrifying!"

Wu Dao tried hard to collect his divergent thoughts. He could not hold it back any longer. Douluo Continent would then have a new title, "Basic Continent".

Back to the point, the production of soul rings and soul bones by soul beasts is a rule. It's not that it cannot be changed, but the consumption will be very high. Moreover, if it is changed, the divine realm will send gods down to cause trouble, delaying Wu Dao's development.

Wu Dao thought of the so-called God-given soul ring again. It was a reward bestowed by the gods. As long as you could hold on, you would be able to obtain the high-level soul ring and soul skills that best suited you.

That thing was given to examiners on Poseidon Island for free, and it was also very simple to make.

According to Wu Dao's guess, soul power can allow you to randomly obtain soul skills that are more suitable for your martial soul. It is also reasonable that divine power, which is of higher quality than soul power, can select better soul skills for you.

As for why soul rings and soul skills can be produced without the participation of soul beasts, contrary to the previous statement, Wu Dao said that the average person in Douluo Continent... has countless soul beast bloodlines in their bodies, so they can naturally extract information from their own bodies to form soul skills.

Therefore, as long as the rules allow, humans today can also condense spirit rings on their own.

Speculations are just speculations. Wu Dao just happened to be able to generate some divine power to try it out. Looking at Apollo who was sitting obediently next to him, he decided not to harm this little guy. After all, he still wanted to see this guy and Poseidon fight.

"Come here and absorb this spirit ring. Sit down and meditate. Use your mental strength to pull the spirit ring. Even if you feel severe pain, you must endure it. Think about your poor mother who was abandoned."

Wu Dao waved towards Apollo, signaling him to absorb the soul ring quickly before it dissipated.

Apollo's eyelids drooped slightly, and there was a fierce cold light in his eyes.

Although he didn't know why Wu Dao was so nice to him, it didn't do him any harm at the moment and he couldn't resist. He could only hope that what he said about knowing the man's situation was true, even though he didn't believe it in his heart.

That man...one day I will find him and give him a good beating on behalf of my mother, but he will not kill that man and give him the chance to meet his mother.

Apollo sat cross-legged and began to absorb the soul ring. The lavender soul ring kept vibrating on Apollo's body. As time passed, sweat began to form on his forehead.

Wu Dao sat on the Terrorclaw Bear, which was a low-end version of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and was somewhat curious about what soul skills Apollo would acquire.

Although Poseidon is called Poseidon and his martial soul is a trident, his title of Sea God was created only by relying on the faith of sea soul beasts. Mobilizing the ocean depends entirely on the position of Sea God, and it has nothing to do with his martial soul.

The sea soul masters in the original work basically have beast martial souls, and there are very few with weapon martial souls like this one.

Poseidon actually relies on his own overwhelming strength to win the faith of most of the weaker sea soul beasts by calming the more ferocious ones.

The Thirteen Styles of Poseidon taught to Tang San, Unstable Wind Wave, Controlling Spirit Skill, Thousand Years of Void, Group Attack Spirit Skill, Gone Without Return, Directly Thrown Out, had nothing to do with controlling the sea water.

Therefore, Wu Dao did not plan to help Apollo absorb the sea soul beasts, but to let him absorb these powerful gold-attribute soul beasts.

Anyway, I will definitely not be able to control the sea water as well as Poseidon, so I might as well kill him directly.

Moreover, while he can ascend to the God Realm and find it difficult to interfere with the continent, Apollo can directly display the Trident of Poseidon's martial spirit. Wouldn't that mean the resources left by Poseidon will be offered voluntarily?

However, the most crucial thing is this guy's loyalty. He doesn't know that he is not a human being. Wu Dao already has some plans in this regard.
