Chapter 36 About Twin Martial Souls
As for the first Twin Martial Soul Master in history, who was also the first Twin Martial Soul Master to die from body explosion, Yin Lan could only lament that the other party was a "martyr" who sacrificed his life to help future Twin Martial Soul Masters find their way across the river.
The cause of that person's death was not the clash of the attributes of the two martial souls, but the explosion of his body due to the simultaneous training of twin martial souls. Before Huo Kaoyu and Ilex created the soul spirit system, twin martial souls could never be trained together without the opportunity.
Yu Xiaogang's claim that "he didn't expect Tang San's Blue Silver Grass to reach a high level, as long as he could pass level 50, he could start cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul and add a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring to it" is pure nonsense. If we followed his logic, he would dare to let Tang San absorb it, and Tang San would dare to blow him up on the spot.
It's still due to physical limitations.
If, as he claims, a Soul Master with twin Martial Souls does this at level 50, it means that the Soul Master, with the normal physical condition of level 50, would have to withstand the energy pressure of at least two yellow, two purple, and six black Soul Rings.
To reiterate, without the right opportunity, do you expect a level 50 Soul Master to have the physical attributes of a Title Douluo to absorb so many Soul Rings? This is the era of Douluo Continent I.
Even Bibi Dong and Tang San only managed to fully upgrade their second spirit without exploding their bodies by cultivating their first spirit to the level of Title Douluo, having top-tier fully equipped spirit bones all over their bodies, and even having external spirit bones that could absorb excess energy for growth.
Oh, there's one exception, Xiao Xiao from Douluo Continent II. But she's a bit abstract. When she was level 20, she put a hundred-year soul ring on her second martial soul. How much pressure can a hundred-year soul ring put on her? It wouldn't cause her to explode. But doing this is a waste of the talent of twin martial souls. A normal person wouldn't train like that (laughs).
By the way, Xiao Xiao actually regretted it later (laughs).
It wasn't until the era of Douluo Continent III, when the Soul Spirit system matured, that training twin Martial Souls together became truly feasible. This was because Soul Spirits could autonomously control the energy within Soul Rings to prevent the host from exploding. Furthermore, as the host's level increased, Soul Spirits could release all the power that had been sealed in the early stages, increasing the lifespan of Soul Rings and perfectly avoiding the waste of talent.
Furthermore, in the era of Douluo Continent III, there was a method called "Spirit Ascension" that could be used to enhance the strength of spirits.
The reason why Yinlan was worried that the balance of the soul power in his body would be disrupted by the soul ring was actually because of this. There were no soul spirits in this era, and the incantation to create soul spirits was brought by Ilex. It was a completely different language system with no reference, and Yinlan couldn't come up with it no matter how hard he tried.
Fun fact: The Soul Contract of the Spirit Pagoda did not undergo any iteration until the era of Douluo Continent IV. The Soul Contract was the same as the one Huo Yuhao passed down in Douluo Continent II, and it remained the same in Douluo Continent IV. The only iterations were the gene cloning technology for soul beasts and the technology based on the soul spirit itself.
For the Douluo Continent, this was a new language that appeared out of nowhere, and it was only a short passage. The Douluo people only knew that once they finished reciting it, the Soul Contract was formed. In fact, they didn't even know what the sentence actually meant, so there was no way to optimize it. There was no language system to refer to at all.
In the Douluo Continent III era, Wu Siduo, who could also perform a self-fusion skill of martial souls, trained two martial souls simultaneously. Therefore, if a soul ring were to affect soul power, Wu Siduo, who possessed a soul spirit, would not have to worry about such a thing at all.
Therefore, the problem of imbalance in soul power attributes is entirely due to Yin Lan's overthinking. Soul power itself is attribute-free and is only changed after entering the martial soul. This is why Yin Lan is able to achieve a relative balance between the life and destruction attributes within her body, allowing them to intertwine and complement each other, thus entering the state of self-martial soul fusion skill. As long as she doesn't mess around, she is absolutely safe.
...This principle is actually similar to that of Xiao Huohuo's "Buddha's Wrath Lotus" next door.
...So, in that case, Ye Xishui's claim in Douluo Continent II that "she didn't practice a second martial soul because she was afraid of exploding and dying" was indeed nonsense. She was just an evil soul master... But thinking about it carefully, that woman didn't say much truth in the first place, yet she managed to fool Long Xiaoyao for his entire life... Poor Long Xiaoyao.
Suddenly, Yinlan felt a tickle in her nose. She opened her eyes and saw that her little mother was holding a Blue Silver Emperor Grass leaf and rubbing it against her nose.
Seeing Yinlan open her eyes, the silver-haired loli quickly gathered up the grass leaves: "Ah, kid, you're finally awake!"
"What's wrong?" The crimson in her eyes gradually faded, turning back into black pupils. Her long, pure white hair also gradually shortened, turning back into short, jet-black hair. Yinlan hugged her little girl mother, sniffed hard, and then asked in a puzzled voice.
"We've arrived at Sunset Forest," a melodious female voice called out from below. "Which way should we fly next?"
For tens of thousands of years, countless Soul Masters have explored the Star Dou Great Forest. Some have come out alive, while others have died inside. Di Tian sometimes takes action to retrieve the storage Soul Tools from the bodies of the deceased Soul Masters, since these things are indeed quite useful.
These storage soul tools sometimes contained maps of the outside world, which Di Tian also kept. He needed to know the situation of humans in the outside world so that he could find an excellent opportunity to lay the foundation for the rise of soul beasts.
The latest publication date among these maps is a map from Douluo Calendar 2620, while it is now Douluo Calendar 2637. We don't know if this map is still accurate, but it doesn't matter, as long as we can find Sunset Forest.
To avoid the airflow generated during high-speed flight from injuring Yinlan, Guyuena specially created a protective layer on her head. Therefore, Yinlan did not feel much movement at all and did not expect to arrive at her destination so quickly.
"Hey, big fat dragon," Yinlan patted the dragon's head under his butt and grinned, "You've helped me so much, I should give you something in return, so you feel like you didn't waste your efforts, right? Let's find a valley in this Sunset Forest that's surrounded by poisonous fog."
Gu Yuena was slightly puzzled, wondering "what can you give me in return?", but she still obediently flew around the Sunset Forest until she found a valley shrouded in dark green mist.
"We're here, this is it!" Yinlan's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth curled up even more uncontrollably than AK's. "Can we go in?"
"You are insulting me," the dragon beneath him snorted, a puff of white vapor rising from its nostrils, its voice filled with displeasure. "A mere cricket's venom, I can easily neutralize it with a single breath..."
The latest novel is first published here!
"Hey, don't dispel it! This place still needs this poison to protect it." Yinlan quickly stopped Gu Yuena when she saw her actions.
"Is there something good down there?" Gu Yuena immediately understood Yin Lan's unspoken meaning.
"Yes," Yinlan chuckled.
"Then let's go!"
Under the cover of light, the enormous silver dragon descended from the sky and plunged straight into this strangely shaped, inverted cone-shaped valley.
