Douluo: Becoming the Taoist Priest from the Enlightenment Tree

Chapter 9 The Generation of Soul Skills

As we all know, the combat system of Douluo Continent and its reliance on soul skills are very rigid and inflexible. Even the assassination skills from a martial arts world can flourish here and form a dimensionality reduction attack.

A soul master's combat capabilities are almost all in the soul skills in his soul rings. Without soul skills, they are just like children holding sledgehammers, with strength but no combat capabilities.

The creativity of the soul masters in Douluo Continent seems to be locked up, and the occasional self-created soul skills can cause a wave of enthusiasm.

But how do soul skills come about?
The soul beast believes that this is a gift from their bloodline.

Different bloodlines created different soul beasts and also gave them different talents.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is born with a pair of terrifying claws. With casual training, they can create enormous power and cut through gold and stone effortlessly.

The Thundering Hell Vine can even devour thunder, thereby creating its own soul skills through training.

The best among them can even engrave their memories in their blood and pass them on to their descendants, allowing them to be born with the special soul skills of their own race.

In Wu Dao's view, human soul skills are nothing more than the product of the soul fragments and soul power of dead soul beasts mixed together under the rules of heaven and earth.

To be precise, humans actually eat the leftovers of soul beasts.

A little bit of soul fragments, which contain part of the memory of the soul beast, are used to choose the direction of the soul skills.

By adding a portion of the soul power contained in the soul beast, new soul skills are produced under the processing of the "machine" of the rules of heaven and earth and the manipulation of the martial soul. This is the origin of the soul skills of human soul masters.

Just like a soul beast like Groudon, it has great strength, strong defense, and powerful fire attributes.

Under the control of the martial soul Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, generally only the attacking or defensive characteristics of the soul fragments will be selected to form a soul skill that amplifies the two.

But if it is a beast martial soul, it will mostly be offensive soul skills such as the Cliff Sword and the Dragon's Tail.

In general, the martial soul is the staff, defining the scope of what one wants, the soul fragments are the key materials, determining what soul skills will be produced next, and the soul power is the catalyst, driving the machine of the rules of heaven and earth to produce soul skills.

Of course, soul beast blood can also be used as a material for creating soul skills, but soul beasts rely on blood inheritance, and countless generations of reproduction have made the information contained in it vast. God knows what kind of soul skills will be produced.

For Wu Dao today, soul bones are an excellent research material, which will be very helpful for him to create the Tao and the Fa in the future.

Because soul bones can house the souls of soul beasts, Xiao Wu's rabbit once lived in her own soul bones.

Soul bones are special products of the rules of heaven and earth. They contain not only soul fragments of soul beasts, but also their blood essence and solidified soul skills.

This kind of fixed and specific soul skill is very suitable for Wu Dao's current research. He can see the big picture from the small details. Being weak, he still needs to create his own method step by step, and this should start from studying soul bones.

No wonder Wu Dao was so envious of that soul bone. This might be the beginning and seed of his path.

What's more, this is the soul bone of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Even though it died so miserably, it possesses six attributes of time, space, wind, thunder, darkness, and evil, all of which are special attributes.

The bead once escaped from Tang San's hands and came to another dimension, and its owner eventually became a god.

Perhaps the soul skills contained in the soul bones are soul skills related to time and space, which will be of great help to Wu Dao.

But - how do I get it myself?

Wu Dao shook his body, feeling grief-stricken and angry, and was unable to do anything.

"Bud—hoo!"

A golden-red figure came in an instant like an arrow. The three-eyed golden lion was about to say hello to his bud cub, but suddenly remembered that he was protected by the Red King, so he turned around in time. Wu Dao watched the three-eyed golden lion fall in front of him and brake to a stop. The splashing mud hit him, which did not cause much damage but was extremely insulting.

The three-eyed golden lion lay down in front of Wu Dao seemingly unintentionally, as if it just suddenly wanted to take a rest.

Why can’t my baby speak again?
The three-eyed golden lion tilted his head, remembering that Yazi reminded him to just go up and fight. Although it was a bit painful, he still won in the end. Hmm, a look of pride appeared on his face.

At that time, the bud cub seemed to have to grow up before he could speak. The three-eyed golden lion glanced at the bud cub, which was not even as tall as his own claws, and lowered his head in thought.

The thing called the Gold of Life should not be obtained. Di Tian seemed to regard it as the main reason why he was attacked.

So what other methods are there?

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion tilted his head to take a look at his defeated opponent, and thought of the method of rapid growth of plant-type soul beasts that the King of Ten Thousand Demons had told him about.

The three-eyed golden lion waved its sharp claws and began to dig holes around Wu Dao.

The mud splashed and formed a pile, blocking Wu Dao's view but not blocking Chi Wang's observation.

The Red King's three heads and six eyes were all watching the auspicious beast digging a pit. Was the auspicious beast stunned in the previous battle? The doubts in his heart became even greater.

Watching the auspicious beast moving the corpse of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger into the pit and then burying it bit by bit, the Red King really didn't understand why the auspicious beast did this. For them, the soul beasts, shouldn't the best revenge be to eat it all?
The three-eyed golden lion was dragging the corpse of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Suddenly, a dark leg bone slipped out of the corpse during the movement.

The three-eyed golden lion blinked its beautiful eyes and looked at the one-foot-long crystal leg bone on the ground. Isn't this the thing that sometimes remains unchewed after eating a meal?
As she couldn't chew them, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion collected them and hid them in her own nest. It didn't matter whether they were precious or not, the main thing was that she thought they were somewhat rare.

After playing with the soul bone in his claws for a while, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion decided to bury this thing as well. Maybe it would be helpful to the baby.
Wu Dao watched helplessly as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion buried the soul bone he longed for into the soil to cover it up. If he knew that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion kept a large number of soul bones in her nest, he would have run over and hugged her thighs if he had hands, shouting "Rich woman, I'm hungry."

But it wasn't long before the energy coming from the roots made him ecstatic and interrupted his wandering thoughts.

Although the Dark Demon Evil Tiger had lost its most important bead, the remaining flesh and blood was still a great tonic, contributing to Wu Dao's growth.

"Ya, let me tell you, I know a very good-looking plant-type soul beast. It's called the Ten Thousand Demon King. It's very powerful. It taught me how to cultivate plants..."

The three-eyed golden lion started to nag at Wu Dao, telling him a lot of his little troubles.

As a auspicious beast, the younger ones dared hardly move under the pressure of her blood, while the older ones were more respectful to her.

In the vast Star Dou Forest, she couldn't find a soul beast that could chat with her.

Therefore, after knowing that Yazai had become intelligent, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could not wait to share some of his thoughts with him.

Wu Dao looked at the three-eyed golden lion that was shaking its head and muttering to itself. Its golden-red hair was shining brightly in the sunlight, and its big watery eyes were full of liveliness and joy. For a moment, he was staring at it in a trance.

This girl is pretty, what should I do?

The Red King hid behind the bushes to take a rest, listening to the auspicious beast's thoughts with great interest, a silly smile appearing on his face from time to time.

"who!"

The Red King suddenly stood up, ran to the auspicious beast, and looked at another patch of grass not far away with a serious expression.
