Attribute Absorption Experiment
Chapter 39 Attribute Absorption Experiment
After learning that ordinary plants could acquire attributes by absorbing attribute soul power, Jerry pondered for a long time! He finally decided to experiment with his own martial soul. Previously, Jerry was afraid that the soul power attributes would conflict, which could lead to his body exploding! After all, when he was in school, his teachers taught many soul masters that absorbing soul rings with attributes different from their martial souls would result in their bodies exploding and dying!
But Jerry is different. Jerry understands the principles of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint, and most conflicts are caused by clashes between the Five Elements! Previously, Jerry thought his martial soul was of the wood attribute, so his first few soul skills were all support-type. Now, seeing that ordinary plants can evolve into attributes, Jerry realizes that attributes can be stacked, just like attribute plants. They were probably ordinary plants with the wood attribute before, and then absorbed other attributes to evolve the ability to acquire those other attributes. Essentially, they are still of the wood attribute, just with an additional attribute! For example, the Flame Grass should be a dual wood and fire attribute, but the wood attribute is more subtle and is overlooked! Careful observation reveals that the Flame Grass still retains the characteristics of a wood-attribute plant!
Jerry's martial soul was originally wood-attribute, but his fourth soul ring provided a large amount of lightning attribute. Lightning and wood attributes do not conflict, so Jerry can use lightning attribute abilities!
Jerry has observed many attribute plants, and it seems that they are all combinations of wood attribute and other attributes. So far, he has not found any attribute plants that combine all three attributes!
Jerry originally planned to absorb other attribute soul rings after reaching level 50 to gain other attributes. Now he's discovered that plants can absorb other attributes to evolve. Soul masters must absorb soul power of the same attribute as themselves from the air during cultivation! Soul power in the air should also carry various attributes, which is why there's mimicry cultivation. Mimicry is essentially increasing the concentration of a certain attribute of soul power in the air to increase cultivation speed! Understanding that soul power in the air also has attributes, if one's martial soul absorbs a large amount of wood element, it might evolve (water nourishes wood), so absorbing a large amount of water element might strengthen the martial soul! It might even allow the martial soul to directly gain the water attribute!
There are many aquatic plants, some growing underwater and some growing on the water's edge! Speaking of water-related minerals, Jerry thinks of deep-sea silver, a relatively high-grade mineral, but unfortunately, it's not found in the forest!
The elemental ores mined by the soul beasts didn't contain any water-attribute minerals! And the bone fertilizer made from the bones of thousand-year-old or ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts had very little elemental soul power!
Just as Jerry was in a terrible predicament, he suddenly remembered that many plants in his previous life could be grown hydroponically, and there were also hydroponic nutrient solutions!
Previously, I always planted my Martial Soul in soil. Could I also cultivate it hydroponically? I can't make my own nutrient solution right now, but the Lake of Life naturally has a lot of water-attribute soul power. After saying this, Jerry summoned his Martial Soul, submerged its roots in the water, and began cultivating. At first, the Martial Soul was a little unaccustomed to it; after all, transitioning from soil to hydroponics requires an adaptation period! As time passed, the Martial Soul gradually began to absorb soul power in the water, and then the absorption speed slowly increased! Finally, it became so fast that it caught up with the speed at which leaves absorb soul power from the air!
Jerry released his mental energy to carefully observe the spirit soul absorbing soul power, and discovered that the soul power absorbed by the root in the water was indeed water-attribute soul power! It can be absorbed, so let's continue absorbing and see if the spirit soul can transform!
If Jerry's martial soul absorbs a large amount of water attribute and can transform into a master of water attribute, then Jerry will have more choices in terms of spirit ring type! Moreover, Jerry knows very little about martial soul cultivation! From initially thinking his martial soul was a food-type martial soul, to later discovering it was a plant-type martial soul, and now discovering it's a wood-attribute martial soul, the more Jerry learns, the more he can feel the wonder of this world! Although netizens in his previous life said that Douluo Continent was just a fantasy cliché, a world where cultivation is possible is still quite interesting!
