Chapter 27
Does this even need to be considered?
"but!"
Suddenly, Xiang Yang changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of regret.
"Brother Xiang Yang, what's wrong?"
Tang San quickly asked, "Wasn't everything going very well just now?"
Even Tang Hao looked at Xiang Yang with a strange expression.
"It's nothing, we're just too young to tell which soul beast bloodline is stronger. Even Uncle Hao probably doesn't have that ability."
Xiang Yang shrugged and said helplessly.
"However, Uncle Hao is knowledgeable and experienced, so he should be able to help us find a suitable soul beast."
Xiang Yang sighed helplessly. Who wouldn't want the best spirit ring?
Xiang Yang already has a pretty good soul skill that can increase the percentage of damage.
Even regarding the external soul bone, Xiang Yang believed it was created when Tang Hao suddenly struck the Demon Fire Red Fox with a hammer, and then the Demon Fire Red Fox's resentment exploded, leading to its death at the hands of Xiang Yang.
This is probably just pure luck.
A percentage-based amplification soul skill, which is both a mechanism and a numerical soul skill, how could it be so easy to obtain?
If it were that easy to obtain, how could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda be the strongest support-type martial soul in the Douluo Continent?
Even if we don't say whether it can compare to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, it certainly has a large number of comparable alternatives.
But in reality, it doesn't exist.
Even top-tier beast martial souls like Dai Mubai don't have that many soul skills that enhance by a percentage.
Moreover, the percentage enhancement multiplier isn't that high.
Now that Xiang Yang thinks about it, Dai Mubai's soul skills seem to be all additive calculations.
The White Tiger Protective Barrier is a defensive buff skill, and the buff is not significant. The White Tiger Vajra Transformation already doubles the buff, while Xiang Yang had somewhat forgotten how much the White Tiger Demon God Transformation actually enhanced.
It seems to be only a 1.5-fold increase, and that's after the White Tiger Vajra Transformation is included.
The boost from the Martial Soul True Body usually seems to be only two times.
Xiang Yang was unaware of Dai Mubai's true martial spirit form, but he was very clear about Zhao Wuji's true martial spirit form.
That was when Zhao Wuji used the example of a Soul Saint to explain it to the main characters.
It's roughly a two-fold increase in defense and a one-and-a-half-fold increase in the power of the soul skill.
Considering the special nature of the Martial Soul True Body, Xiang Yang estimated that even if Dai Mubai's Martial Soul True Body had a large number of amplifications, it would only amplify all the attributes that the White Tiger Demon God Transformation could amplify by two times.
Furthermore, this calculation method is considered a multiplication calculation.
Even with Dai Mubai's transformation soul skill and his martial soul true body, the amplification is only about three times.
A three-fold increase is already an incredibly powerful soul skill.
Despite having such a combination of soul skills and the support of a top-tier martial soul, Dai Mubai's talent still couldn't awaken his domain.
On Xiang Yang's side, the Domain skill is undoubtedly a multiplicative percentage-enhanced soul skill.
It can also weaken the opponent's attributes.
In other words, even with a three-fold enhancement, Dai Mubai still couldn't pass the Level 1 God assessment by leapfrogging from Level 2 God, and he might not even have had the chance to participate in the Level 1 God assessment.
Although Dai Mubai did have the strength to briefly contend with a first-level god.
It is evident that, generally speaking, percentage-based soul skills are very powerful, but they are not easy to find, and even if you do find them, they don't provide that much of a boost.
In this situation, the value of a top-tier soul skill becomes very clear.
If there were a soul skill that could increase all attributes by 50%, that soul skill would already be considered a god-tier skill.
This is because this soul skill is one of the skills that Tang San's Eight Spider Lances evolved into after becoming a divine weapon.
It's important to understand that a 50% increase in all attributes means that speed, agility, reaction speed, and so on will all be boosted, as will strength, attack, stamina, and endurance. All of the body's attributes that can be boosted will be boosted.
When combined, it is definitely no weaker than the kind that only has a few attributes that increase threefold, which is the ultimate increase that Dai Mubai's transformation has.
Based on this, even if Xiang Yang were lucky, the soul skill he obtained would be unlikely to surpass this divine skill.
Unless, he can obtain a soul beast skill of the ferocious beast level or with the bloodline of a ferocious beast.
It seems like that's what they said. Later on, the setting of the Douluo Continent series changed. It became that if soul beasts could become gods, then ferocious beasts would definitely become gods.
This setting is similar to Xiang Yang's previous guess.
If Xiang Yang possessed a soul skill at the level of a ferocious beast, a soul skill with the bloodline of a ferocious beast, then he might be able to obtain a soul skill no weaker than Tang San's Eight Spider Spears.
Fortunately, Xiang Yang is quite clever.
He immediately said excitedly to Tang San.
"Oh, right, mistress, you haven't forgotten what I just told you, have you?"
"Um?"
Tang San was a little confused. What had Xiang Yang thought of this time?
Seeing that Tang San hadn't reacted yet, Xiang Yang immediately explained.
"Xiao San, a percentage-enhanced soul skill might not be so easy to obtain. Even if you do obtain one, the percentage-enhanced soul skills are just added together like a normal addition calculation."
"But what if the soul skill we obtain also has a multiplier effect?"
"For example, attack-based soul skills inherently offer a percentage-based boost, right?"
"Like my Sunbow, what if I had a powerful arrow that could attack with 200% of its physical attack power?"
Xiang Yang smiled slightly and asked in return.
"So, these two increases can be multiplied?"
As Tang San spoke, his eyes widened suddenly.
He's not stupid. Since there's a limit to how much he can increase his own power, why not increase the power of his soul skills?
In this way, the soul skill and one's own attributes are multiplicative, which is much more cost-effective than blindly increasing one's own attributes.
Of course, improving yourself is always the most useful thing.
Xiang Yang knew about the Sea God's test and also knew that Dai Mubai's journey through the Sea God's Light was the easiest among the main characters, second only to Tang San.
This is entirely because Dai Mubai's own stats are high, which is why he can do it so easily.
"Brother Xiangyang, I understand now."
Tang San wasn't stupid either, and he quickly thought of the place Xiang Yang had thought of.
"In that case, we can choose one or two soul skills that can increase the strength of our soul skills."
"When it is difficult to improve one's own abilities, choose to amplify one's soul skills, thereby greatly increasing our combat power."
Tang San's face was full of smiles. The discussion he had with Brother Xiang Yang today made him feel very fulfilled and satisfied.
"Brother Xiang Yang, you're so smart!" Tang San shouted excitedly, "How did you come up with all this?"
Xiang Yang hadn't really had any exposure to Soul Master knowledge; most of his knowledge came from Xiang Yan.
However, Xiang Yan was only a Great Soul Master, and he also had to do business, so he was never at home.
In Tang San's eyes, Xiang Yang's talent is obvious!
As for Tang Hao, this titled Douluo, he seemed to only know how to fight, and at this moment, he couldn't even get a word in edgewise.
Tang San still felt a little disgusted.
He originally thought that having a titled Douluo as a father would allow them to become stronger and teach them how to fight.
"Haha, do I even need to think about that?"
However, faced with Tang San's curiosity, Xiang Yang laughed it off and brushed it off.
For Xiang Yang, this is just content from a game; he doesn't need to specifically collect data, organize big data, or come up with opinions.
At this moment, Xiang Yang felt like he was living a past life with Qian Lao.
Even the dumbest person can't learn calculus.
On his side, even the dumbest person wouldn't be unaware of these game theories.
