Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Gold and Silver are the most noble bloodline in the soul beast world not to mention its relationship to the dragon god but due to its rarity it won't be realistic not to mention at the end of the day my martial soul is based on a snake species which I hope to improve

They are the highest quality dragon bloodline is a must for soul rings and as a next generation soul master from a high quality martial soul means there is few options of optimization to leverage it's characteristics and create sufficient framework for me to work on improving the bloodline and mental force side of my martial soul through acquired cultivation .

The most straightforward being souls rings so what factors affect the absorption of the soul ring as after all i want to reach the peak and lay a solid foundation

Physical strength, mental force, quality of spirit power, and whether the spirit ring of the Spirit Beast aligns with the Spirit Master's Spirit which broadly speaking can be summed up in talent which are the function and characteristic of the martial spirit itself and attributes

Just like a sword, its attributes can be wind, thunder, fire, etc., but talent is the function of this sword, it is sharp and can be used for slashing

The first three spirit rings determine the direction of a martial soul's development.

Once the direction is set, the rest is just the accumulation of spirit power but for now let's talk about soul master development roughly speaking there are two major schools extreme and balance

The Extreme School believes that each martial spirit has its own characteristics, and they choose their strongest attributes to maximize what their martial spirit is good at.

The Balance Sect believes that the situations faced by soul masters in battle are complex and changeable, and a soul master must develop in a balanced manner in line with the attributes of his own martial soul.

The two sides argue endlessly about this.

The extreme faction believes that omnipotence means mediocrity, while the balanced faction believes that the extreme faction has too many weaknesses.

Both sides have their points but ultimately they are just guidelines as it's not like they can't be combined after all to reach the top as a soul master cultivating a martial soul requires playing to one's strengths and mitigating its weaknesses.

The strengths of the martial soul should be utilized and strengthened, while the weaknesses should be compensated for, not deliberately amplified, as that would only make the soul master mediocre especially if the quality of the martial isn't high

The defect of my family's inherited martial soul is not as simple as Tang San's claim of "poisoning".

As for how bad it can be looking at my grandfather Dugu Bo's situation

All I can say is—A stroke of good fortune from heaven! But he couldn't handle it!

The process of fusing poison with soul power and circulating it within the meridians is essentially a process of enabling the body's cells to withstand and adapt to the poison.

This cultivation method is similar in principle to the practice of refining Gu poison.

Refining Gu involves placing multiple poisonous insects into a Gu, letting them kill each other, and the one that survives becomes the Gu, having withstood the venom of the other insects.

Essentially, it is about adapting to the environment for survival.

Dugu Bo's cultivation method involves using himself as a Gu and his cells as insects. The venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake is a stimulant that forces the body's cells to adapt to the environment and undergo directional evolution.

Dugu Bo must have started cultivating from a young age. It's as if he was immersed in a jar full of poison from childhood to adapt to it. As he grows older and his cultivation level increases, the poison in the jar becomes more and more concentrated, forcing him to adapt.

No!

It should be said that Dugu Bo himself is a jar filled with venom!

In theory, this cultivation method is indeed feasible, but it is also a risky and dangerous path. If not handled properly, it can easily lead to death and the dissipation of one's cultivation. Not to mention that Dugu Bo's knowledge of the human body's meridians and acupoints is extremely limited.

As a titled Douluo, his understanding of the human body is definitely much greater than that of ordinary Soul Masters, but for compared to those mentioned in the literature in my past life , it is like showing off one's limited skills in front of an expert.

Under these circumstances, Dugu Bo dared to cultivate in this way. Besides being grateful for the magical martial souls in this world, he also stumbled upon a stroke of luck. By chance, he found the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Thanks to the special environment there, not only did his body further adapt to the snake venom of his martial soul, but his cultivation also advanced further, reaching the level of a Title Douluo.

But that's all there is to it If my grandfather Dugu Bo were fifty years younger, he might be able to further adapt his body to the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Serpent during his continued cultivation.

But unfortunately— he is old.

Tang San in the original novel should have known this as well, which is why the main part of the treatment plan he devised for Dugu Bo was to use a soul bone to withstand the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent.

As for whether the soul bone will be corroded by the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Serpent...

There is a probability but we probably won't be able live long enough for that to happen the only saving grace is that our inherited martial soul fortunately is high quality and can somewhat be considered to be related to dragons

This is also why my grandfather supports me and my ideas as this process will also be the guideline for future descendants

As a titled douluo he can help me perfect my plan as I have no real foundation and experience cultivating not to mention his knowledge about medicine and poisons if there is anyone I can truly rely on to survive in this world it's him

My first soul ring not only lays the foundation for the evolution of my martial soul but also gave me the soul skill Tyrant Body which doubles my physical abilities and increases my resistance to elemental attributes by 30% by connecting to my bloodline to initiate dragonification similar to armor covered with green scales

As for the source it is from a non-venomous snake species with golden bloodline with above 400 years cultivation golden python
