Chapter 42 Soul Power Fusion
Jerry's research revealed that soul beasts do not have martial souls; all the soul power they absorb is stored in their bodies. Using his powerful mental strength to observe soul beasts, Jerry discovered that soul beasts also have soul power seeds. The soul power seeds of animal-type soul beasts are in the shape of an embryo in their brains, while the soul power seeds of plant-type soul beasts are in the shape of a seed in their roots, just like Jerry's own!
Attribute plants also have two soul power seeds, one wood attribute and one other attribute! The other attribute soul power seeds of attribute plants are stronger than the wood attribute soul power seeds, and the wood attribute is more gentle, so it outwardly manifests as the other attribute!
Most ordinary plants only have one wood-attribute soul power seed and only one passive skill for growth. Therefore, after absorbing soul power, they only grow very tall and have no attack power, which is why they are considered ordinary plants!
Most plant-type soul beasts have no other attack power besides growth. Some vines can entwine, and some are poisonous. They are all attribute plants, with poisonous attribute soul power seeds!
Plants are naturally able to convert their soul power attributes. They absorb the attribute soul power in the world and convert most of it into wood attribute to support their growth. Attribute plants can convert into two attributes because of their dual soul power seeds. Wood attribute mainly increases the growth period, while other attributes, in addition to increasing the growth period, can also enhance the plant's abilities, allowing it to release soul skills, such as poison, fire, ice, water, and other attribute soul skills!
In his past life, Jerry knew that the wood attribute had many uses, but in the Douluo Continent, the wood attribute mostly only manifested its basic growth ability, which is why plants had strong vitality! Actually, some also exhibited wood attribute properties, such as healing, detoxification, and accelerated recovery. These are the true manifestations of the wood attribute, but due to a lack of knowledge, he didn't recognize them as such. These were all manifested in a supportive form! Therefore, many plant-based martial souls with only the wood attribute were considered support-type soul masters. In reality, the wood attribute also has offensive forms, some exhibiting simpler behaviors like entanglement and parasitism! It's usually a control-type ability!
Soul beasts and soul masters all strive for power, but there are far too few researchers on the entire continent, especially those studying plants! Currently, the only known researchers are Poison Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Yang Wudi! However, their research focuses on only a limited area!
Now that he knew plants could grow faster by absorbing wood attributes, Jerry had nothing to worry about. Other attributes required more thought, but the forest had no shortage of wood-attribute plants! Moreover, many ten-thousand-year-old wood-attribute plant spirit beasts had recently been born, and there were even more in the core area! These ten-thousand-year-old plants could be communicated with, which was Jerry's goal. Furthermore, ten-thousand-year-old plants were large and had well-developed root systems, so their absorption and recovery were very fast!
Moving the plants is a bit of a hassle! Fortunately, the red spider lilies are not very big, so they are easy to move!
We found the oldest plant-type soul beast in the core area, over 32,000 years old. Previously identified as an ordinary plant, it's now classified as a wood-attribute plant! We communicated with this plant; its 30,000 years of wisdom was quite impressive, and it quickly understood!
Then Jerry began to unleash his growth skill on the red spider lily. The plant spirit beast, which had been growing for over three years, began to slowly transmit its spirit power to Jerry, gradually increasing it until it reached the limit that Jerry could withstand and then began to transmit it stably.
After Jerry released his growth skill, Manjusaka began to absorb wood-attribute soul power continuously, and its age gradually increased. After absorbing more than 30,000 years of soul power for three days and three nights, it was finally finished!
At this moment, the Manjusaka flower broke through to 46,000 years old! This was practically an epiphany! However, only Jerry could use this skill. Jerry's mental strength was so strong that he turned the passive accelerated growth skill into an active one! Other plants could only passively absorb soul power. If other plants could also actively release it, then the forest would become the domain of plants!
Now that Jerry has this amazing skill, his choice of spirit rings will be different!
