Knowledge is Power! The Idea of Martial Soul Evolution
Yu Tianheng's matter was just a small interlude.
Lin Xiao didn't take it to heart.
After strolling around Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Lin Xiao gave it a score in his mind, ultimately finding it mediocre. Although the architecture was magnificent, even dazzling, the core value of a school was never in its buildings.
Now, only the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's library remained.
Led by Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, Lin Xiao headed towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's library, finally stopping in front of a huge circular building.
Speaking of which, Douluo's architecture seems to favor circles?
Lin Xiao entered the library.
The atmosphere immediately changed.
In the campus of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, one could still see some unruly students, but in the library, everyone was silently reading, most of them extremely focused.
"At Heaven Dou Royal Academy's library, anyone can borrow any book available, but some precious originals and handwritten copies cannot be taken out and can only be read in the library."
Listening to Dugu Yan's explanation, Lin Xiao nodded.
He looked around, and the books in the library were well-categorized into four main sections:
Humanities, Martial Souls, Soul Skills, and Others. The Humanities section mainly covered imperial history, biographies, local customs, and geographical environments, including books about the coastal areas and the Northernmost Land.
Lin Xiao browsed through several Humanities books.
He mainly looked at records about the ocean and the Northernmost Land. At this time, the development of the Northernmost Land was still barren, so the books about it were all records of human activities on the periphery, along with an illustrated guide to some Soul Beasts in the Northernmost Land.
Such as the Northernmost Ice Fox, the Northernmost Ice Bear...
Unfortunately, the Northernmost Land was located in the northern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the outer areas had few types of Soul Beasts. The areas slightly closer to the inner regions were filled with wind and snow all year round, and there was a high probability of encountering unknown dangers.
Therefore, Soul Masters mainly chose the all-encompassing Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts.
All kinds of Soul Beasts with various attributes were available there.
In terms of biographies, there were even books recording the events between Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen back then, but the descriptions were very vague, and the story was only told in general terms. Bo Saixi was only described as a peerless beauty, and her whereabouts were unknown.
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up.
It seems that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's library is really good?
Worthy of being backed by the Heaven Dou royal family! Lin Xiao noted down the names of the books describing the coastal areas and the Northernmost Land, and then went to check the Martial Soul section. There was a book called "Overview of Top Martial Souls of the Continent," which recorded various famous Martial Souls on the continent. The one ranked first was actually... the Clear Sky Hammer?! But after reading the author's explanation, the ranking of Martial Souls in this book was based on the strength of the strongest person possessing that Martial Soul, so there would definitely be some subjective elements, and it was only for reference.
That made sense, after all, the Clear Sky Sect's ancestor, Tang Chen, was a formidable figure who even Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall had to avoid. Naturally, the Angel Martial Soul was ranked second.
Lin Xiao watched with great interest.
He wanted to see if there was anything about the Phoenix Martial Soul, but he didn't find it after a long time.
"Trash book, not reading it!"
Lin Xiao said in exasperation, putting the book back.
He pulled out a book called "Brief Introduction to Martial Soul Theory," which not only recorded various strange Martial Souls, but also provided detailed advice on Soul Ring combinations.
For example, Battle Soul Masters should try to match amplification-type Soul Skills in the early stages, and one or two attack-type Soul Skills would be enough, preferably one single-target attack and one group attack.
There were also some precautions, such as amplification-type Soul Skills not being used indefinitely, because they often had side effects due to the heavy burden on the body. The stronger the amplification-type Soul Skill, the greater the hidden danger.
Soul Masters should pay attention to the limits their bodies could withstand. There was a case where a Soul Master kept stacking amplification-type Soul Skills. Although the power was amazing, when facing a strong enemy once, the Soul Master opened all of his amplification-type Soul Skills, and his body couldn't handle it and exploded before the fight even started.
"..."
Lin Xiao felt a little shocked, but he continued reading.
A sentence in the book caught his attention.
"One should always remember the influence of Soul Rings on Martial Souls, and strive for the same or compatible attributes. Plant and animal Martial Souls should be especially cautious when choosing Soul Rings."
What followed was a large amount of elaboration.
When matching Soul Rings, the first choice should be a Martial Soul that is compatible with one's own attributes, because after a Martial Soul absorbs a Soul Ring, the Soul Ring becomes a part of the Martial Soul and has countless connections with it.
If one absorbs a Soul Ring that is incompatible with one's own attributes, such as a light-attribute Martial Soul absorbing a dark-attribute Soul Ring, it may lightly cause the Martial Soul to be polluted, and severely cause the Martial Soul to undergo malignant mutations, and even affect the Soul Master's body and spirit, causing unknown consequences.
That's how many fallen ones come to be.
Therefore, the correct path is to absorb Soul Rings with the same or compatible attributes as one's own Martial Soul, constantly purifying the attributes of one's own Martial Soul; that is the broad road to success.
"That makes sense."
Lin Xiao nodded. He was suddenly very curious about who compiled this book, so he looked at the signature and was immediately surprised to see the line "Heaven Dou Royal Academy Education Committee."
Heaven Dou Royal Academy is actually this capable? Well, it is, after all, a top academy of the dignified empire...
Lin Xiao was a little fascinated.
He continued reading, ignoring Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan waiting listlessly.
Women are like fleeting clouds... knowledge is power! "Regarding the Soul Ring absorption of weapon Martial Souls and plant Martial Souls..."
Weapon Martial Souls are the type of Martial Soul with the widest range of Soul Ring absorption. Even if they absorb completely opposite attributes, they can usually blend harmoniously. There is only one consideration:
Absorbing Soul Rings that match the characteristics of one's own Martial Soul.
The Seven Kill Sword focuses on killing and decisiveness, suitable for absorbing Soul Beast Soul Rings that are fast and fiercely attacking; the Clear Sky Hammer focuses on conquest, absorbing Soul Beast Soul Rings that are powerful and unstoppable. These are all beneficial to the Martial Soul.
Plant-type Martial Souls are usually more restricted, but it is also necessary to maximize the advantages of the Martial Soul, such as determining whether the characteristic of the Martial Soul lies in highly toxic poison or vitality, or something else...
Lin Xiao thought of the Nine Hearted Begonia.
Whether absorbing animal-type Soul Rings or plant-type Soul Rings, the Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul values healing ability and vitality the most.
And Blue Silver Grass, as the Martial Soul with the strongest vitality, should theoretically absorb the Soul Rings of vigorous plants and animals. This is in line with the common sense of Martial Soul evolution...
Hmm... Lin Xiao couldn't help but think.
Where does the path of evolution lie for his Fire Phoenix Martial Soul? Simply absorbing fire-attribute Soul Rings? That seems a bit too superficial
