"Soul Rings are crucial for a Soul Master."
It's not just because of the abilities the Soul Rings themselves provide, but also because of the promotion effect the Soul Rings have on the evolution of the Martial Soul.
The entire cultivation process of a Soul Master is essentially a series of evolutions of the Martial Soul.
Every time a Soul Ring is absorbed, it represents an evolution of the Martial Soul, an exploration of the Martial Soul's power.
For a weak Martial Soul, this is an evolution.
For a powerful Martial Soul, this is an exploration of the Martial Soul's power, a boost to the Martial Soul.
Su Yu's Martial Soul is just the most ordinary Blue Silver Grass, making the Soul Ring even more significant to him.
Because the normal cultivation of Blue Silver Grass is too restricted, Su Yu has already deeply experienced this in the past month and a half. If he cannot fundamentally evolve the Martial Soul, sooner or later, he will be stuck at a certain realm due to the Martial Soul's limitations.
Planning ahead.
This is what Su Yu needs to do.
And planning the path of Martial Soul enhancement first requires understanding the Martial Soul.
"Tang San's cultivation of Blue Silver Grass is simply a pile of crap. I don't know where the guts came from for him to pair it like this.
If it weren't for the support of the Heavenly Hammer Martial Soul, if it weren't for the late awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, it would probably be completely useless.
Moreover, even awakening the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, the previous Soul Ring selections have still greatly limited the growth of the Martial Soul."
It's not that Su Yu is belittling anyone, just speaking the truth.
This is brain-dead behavior.
Blue Silver Grass combined with poison, combined with toughness.
Sounds reasonable, but upon closer inspection, what a broken theory.
"Blue Silver Grass is inherently fragile, even if it absorbs a Soul Ring to enhance these aspects, it still completely can't match the effects of Martial Souls that are inherently strong in these aspects.
Already weak, trying to compensate in this area, who can it catch up?"
That wouldn't be so bad, but damn, it goes for both toughness and toxicity.
Trying to bite off more than you can chew.
Almost everything Su Yu concluded needed attention in Soul Ring selection was completely ignored by Tang.
"The most prominent feature of Blue Silver Grass is its tenacious life force!"
On Douluo Star, Blue Silver Grass can be found anywhere precisely because of its vigorous vitality that allows it to adapt to any environment.
To blossom with its own life.
"Therefore, Blue Silver Grass should mainly focus on life force, and it should specialize."
Su Yu has a thought; he wants all nine Soul Rings to focus on life force.
Perhaps in choosing Soul Rings, he could consider some additional attributes, appropriately increasing the toughness and strength of Blue Silver Grass, but the primary attribute must be life force.
With life force, Blue Silver Grass can grow more robustly.
In terms of the Martial Soul, this means gradually increasing the Soul Power Level.
Su Yu possesses unparalleled comprehension and is confident in creating his own Soul Skills. With a Blue Silver Grass rich in life force, it becomes a perfect object for development.
With enough life force, no matter which direction development takes, there is a foundation. With a foundation, anything is possible.
Even without Su Yu's comprehension, unable to create original Soul Skills, this theory is completely applicable.
Blue Silver Grass is not inherently a combat-type Martial Soul, forcibly shifting towards combat will only lead astray. Adding life force at least ensures the hope of continuously enhancing Soul Power.
If the Soul Power Level can't improve, what's the point of combat capability?
"Isn't Blue Silver Grass suited for support?"
Adding life force will definitely yield healing-type Soul Skills.
...
A month ago, Su Yu began preparing for his Soul Ring.
He spent two Golden Soul Coins to purchase a basic handbook on Soul Beasts to study their characteristics and select the Soul Beast that suits him.
"Purple Crystal Fruit Tree, a unique plant-type Soul Beast capable of producing purple, translucent fruits, each containing immense energy. Consuming this fruit allows a Soul Master to quickly recover stamina and Soul Power.
The Purple Crystal Fruit Tree itself possesses immense life force, and if absorbed as a Soul Ring, it should enhance the life force of Blue Silver Grass.
However, the Soul Skill could potentially develop towards support."
While Blue Silver Grass is indeed suitable for support, that's true for ordinary people who can't create original Soul Skills, making support development most appropriate.
Su Yu is different.
As long as the life force of Blue Silver Grass is sufficient, he can develop powerful Soul Skills on his own.
So he just needs to seize the essence of his theory, which is to enhance life force.
The Purple Crystal Fruit Tree meets the requirements in terms of life force.
However, for Su Yu in the early stages, enhancing life force while adding some effects that can increase the toughness and strength of Blue Silver Grass would be even better.
The biggest drawback of the Purple Crystal Fruit Tree is its fragile trunk, placing it among the weaker types of tree Soul Beasts.
"Star Spirit Vine, a vine mutated under the Power of the Stars, can absorb the Power of the Stars and convert it into Soul Power.
The life force of Star Spirit Vine is very vigorous, especially when damaged, it can absorb the Power of the Stars to recover.
Moreover, due to tempering by the Power of the Stars, this Star Spirit Vine is top-notch in terms of toughness and strength."
One could say, this Star Spirit Vine perfectly matches Su Yu's requirements for a Soul Ring.
But there are also drawbacks; the Star Spirit Vine is relatively rare and has strict growth requirements, needing to absorb the Power of the Stars to survive.
Although the night sky in Wangyue City is bright and the Power of the Stars might be abundant, it doesn't necessarily mean there will be Star Spirit Vines.
But at least there's hope.
This is one reason why Su Yu includes it as an option.
Besides the Purple Crystal Fruit Tree and Star Spirit Vine, Su Yu is also interested in other Soul Beasts like the Dragon Scale Vine.
Named for its appearance, the Dragon Scale Vine has layers of scale-like horny layers on its vine. Dragon Scale Vine is at the top in terms of toughness and strength, and its scaly layers provide decent defense.
Most importantly, this Dragon Scale Vine has abundant life force and even possesses Soul Skills that unleash life force explosively.
Su Yu organized a list of Soul Beasts he needed, noting their characteristics.
"The biggest problem I face now is, how can I enter the Soul Hunting Forest?"
There are Soul Beasts in the wild, but they are too few and scattered, and there are no particularly rare species.
The most convenient and closest place is the Soul Hunting Forest of Wangyue City.
However, to enter the Soul Hunting Forest, a recommendation letter is required.
A recommendation letter seems difficult to get, but in another way, it's easy to understand.
"It takes money!"
