Douluo: Martial Soul Body, I’m True Master

The reason Tang Shan speculated that the Titled Douluo of the douluo one era had not yet cultivated a Soul Core was that a certain Poison Douluo was still troubled by his own toxins.

If a Soul Core really existed, Tang San’s so-called solution of forcing toxins into a Spirit Bone would be a joke.

What could be more suitable for carrying one’s own toxins than a Soul Core condensed from one’s own spirit power?

In this era, there are no Soul Cores.

How those Titled Douluo continue to improve and even Cultivate to the level of Limit Douluo is a point worth researching.

And then there is Battle Armor.

I wonder if it’s possible to create a prototype of Battle Armor from the douluo 3 era through forging.

One must know that the enhancement from Battle Armor is practically a bug, basically providing the strength to fight a normal Spirit Master without Battle Armor who is two ranks higher.

Thinking of Battle Armor, Tang Shan remembered the special metal Black Gold in Stark City.

Tomorrow, I can go check out the blacksmith shop.

Having made a decision in his heart, he got up and sat cross-legged on the bed.

With a clear mind, he mobilized the spirit power within his body to run through his Meridians and began to Cultivate.

The transparent spirit power started from the Dantian, passed through the Lung Meridian and Large Intestine Meridian, and then reached the Stomach Meridian.

The spirit power between heaven and earth was drawn in by the Spirit, quickly refined, and settled in the Dantian, becoming part of his cultivation.

The so-called level of Innate Soul Power determines one’s cultivation Aptitude, but which aspect of cultivation Aptitude does it actually determine?

Cultivation becomes increasingly difficult in the Late Stage.

Even if one has Innately Full Spirit Power in the early stages, there shouldn’t be too large a gap later on.

Yet, Innate Soul Power somehow determines the upper limit of cultivation to a certain extent.

A stray thought flashed through his mind, and Tang Shan regained his focus, quietly feeling every bit of growth in his spirit power.

The next morning, Tang Shan emerged from his cultivation state feeling refreshed.

Even after sitting cross-legged all night, his body did not feel the slightest bit of fatigue.

Drawn by the aura, Su Yuntao, who was also sitting cross-legged in cultivation, slowly opened his eyes, and the subtle spirit power fluctuations on his body quietly dissipated.

“Big brother, have you had a Breakthrough to rank twenty-three?”

Feeling the still-unstable aura on the other man, Tang Shan asked in surprise.

Su Yuntao was very happy and nodded: “After absorbing the thousand-year spirit ring earlier, I reached the peak of rank twenty-two.

Breaking through to rank twenty-three now is quite normal.”

While Tang Shan was happy for Su Yuntao, he also thought of his own current cultivation.

After all, he had absorbed a thousand-year first ring, and combined with the spirit power accumulated over the past year, he had now reached rank eighteen.

It shouldn’t be a big problem to break through to rank twenty in a few more months of cultivation, but this spirit ring hunt might be a bit troublesome.

A look of contemplation flashed in Tang Shan’s eyes, hoping for a good result after arriving in Heaven Dou City.

“Let’s go to the rooftop to practice.”

Su Yuntao stood up and suggested, and Tang Shan nodded in agreement.

After a simple wash, the two went to the top floor of the hotel.

The rooftop was about a hundred square meters in size, and there was no one else besides Tang Shan and Su Yuntao.

The two tacitly separated, each occupying half of the rooftop to begin their own practice.

At this time, the sun had just peeked over the horizon, emitting a soft glow that was not dazzling.

With calves perpendicular to the ground and thighs parallel, the body rose and fell with a set rhythm.

The tailbone lightly touched the ground like a dragonfly skimming water, while the gaze looked far into the distance, taking in all the scenery.

As the body rose and fell, the soles of the feet changed accordingly.

When rising, the toes gripped the ground, rooting deeply; when falling, the five toes spread out, natural and harmonious.

Su Yuntao did the same, starting with the basic skill of stance training to stabilize his lower body and regulate his essence, energy, and Spirit.

Fifteen minutes later, the two brothers slowly exhaled a long breath, their eyes becoming clearer and brighter.

At this moment, their pores were still closed, their bodies were hot, and their skin was slightly flushed.

Clearly, their physical bodies had gradually shaken off the stillness of yesterday’s meditation and begun to recover.

Tang Shan’s body expanded, highlighting the lean contours of his muscles.

The purple spirit ring under his feet flashed, and he applied the Spirit Ability Self-Control to himself.

He simply moved his limbs, and with his precise control over his body, he let his entire body recover further.

Pa!

Pa!

Pa!

As his fists and feet whistled, crisp sounds frequently came from Tang Shan’s body.

Rolling blood and Qi were mobilized by him to the skin, flesh, and tendons, nourishing and tempering his entire body.

Su Yuntao’s cultivation was different.

After his Spirit possession, he did not trigger any Spirit Ability.

Instead, he closed his eyes and carefully recalled the movements, postures, and predatory momentum of various wolf-type Spirit Beasts in his mind, attempting to integrate them into his own offensive and defensive system.

Time slowly passed in their silent cultivation.

By the time the sun was high in the sky, Tang Shan and Su Yuntao’s morning exercises finally came to an end.

Returning to the room to simply wipe off the sweat, Su Haichao also knocked and came in.

“What are the arrangements for the next few days?”

Hearing Su Haichao’s inquiry, Tang Shan thought for a moment and said, “Big brother should continue going to the Great Spirit Arena.”

“I have no objection.

Yesterday’s battle gave me a lot of insights into the offense and defense of wolf-type Spirit Beasts.”

Su Yuntao agreed excitedly, his eyes full of eagerness, burning with intense Battle Intent.

“Old man, do you have any thoughts?”

Tang Shan looked at his father.

Su Haichao shook his head: “I should just walk around Stark City.

I’ve been staying in Nuoding City for so many years and haven’t carefully looked at the scenery of other cities.

Since it’s a rare trip out, I must take a good look.

However, I will go to the Spirit Hall first to say hello.”

As he spoke, he looked at Su Yuntao: “It’s never wrong to take precautions.

If Yuntao really encounters something in the future, the Spirit Hall in Stark City should be able to help with some small matters.”

Su Yuntao nodded: “Okay, if there’s trouble, I’ll go find the Spirit Hall.”

“Shan Zi, what are your arrangements?”

Su Haichao looked at Tang Shan.

Tang Shan thought of the special metal in Stark City and Battle Armor, then scratched his hair: “I’ll probably go check out a blacksmith shop.

I’m somewhat interested in forging.”

“Little brother, you want to learn blacksmithing?

Why would you have such an idea?”

Su Yuntao was a bit puzzled.

“Well, the Body Martial Soul was also considered a trash Spirit before.”

Tang Shan retorted helplessly.

“Is that the same?

The Body Martial Soul only showed its extraordinary nature because you worked hard to figure out a cultivation method, little brother.”

“Shan Zi, are you saying that forging also has the same potential as the Body Martial Soul?”

Su Haichao was better at catching the main point, keenly perceiving that Tang Shan was comparing the Body Martial Soul with forging.

“It’s hard to say, it’s just that there might be such a possibility.”

Tang Shan didn’t give a guarantee.

After all, forging is ultimately a future skill.

To bring it to the Douluo Continent twenty thousand years early is truly not easy.

Moreover, it is still unknown whether the birth of true forging technology was influenced by Tang Hao or the spirit soul system.

The Plane Ruler of the douluo 3 era was originally ‘Tang Big Hammer’, and the entire forging system only rose after the birth of spirit souls.

The forging levels involved operations like granting intelligence, granting a Soul, and granting life.

To say there was no intervention from the spirit soul system during this time, Tang Shan really found it hard to believe.

“That’s fine, Shan Zi, make your own arrangements.

We still have to pass through several cities before reaching Heaven Dou City.

We can stay in this city for about ten days.”

Su Haichao didn’t ask further.

His younger son had his own arrangements and basically never made him worry.

“Yuntao, remember you must be steady.

You absolutely must not get carried away.

If you can’t win, admit defeat in time.”

Su Haichao couldn’t help but remind Su Yuntao again.

“Don’t worry, Dad.

I value my life very much.

We aren’t life-and-death enemies, so I won’t fight to the death.”

After Su Yuntao patted his chest and gave his guarantee, the three of them went downstairs together for breakfast…

Clang!

Clang!

The sound of intense metal clashing came from a large shop.

The huge hammer on the plaque above, combined with the metallic clashing sounds coming from within, undoubtedly announced the identity of this shop—a blacksmith shop.

Black Gold is a unique metal found around Stark City.

Its characteristics are very simple: it is incomparably hard.

Before being softened by fire, almost no force can destroy it.

Of course, this does not include powerful Spirit Masters.

As for the specific effect of Black Gold in the hands of powerful Spirit Masters, it is currently unknown.

Besides its own hardness, as long as a little Black Gold is added to weapons and armor, the material’s hardness will skyrocket.

Because of this, there are many blacksmith shops in Stark City, and many nobles and forces like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will customize weapons and armor here.

After leaving the hotel, Tang Shan inquired around and learned that the blacksmith shop in front of him might not be the largest, but its treatment of apprentices was relatively generous.

He would be leaving Stark City in about ten days.

It wouldn’t be easy to learn forging in a short time, so a blacksmith shop that wasn’t harsh on apprentices was undoubtedly a good choice.

“Iron Bell Blacksmith Shop.”

Looking at the shop’s name above, Tang Shan no longer hesitated and stepped inside.

The shop was divided into two parts.

The front half displayed finished weapons, armor, and a small amount of farm tools, while the back half was the actual forging area.

“Hello, little brother.

Are you here to buy or customize equipment?”

A young man in his early twenties took the initiative to come forward and ask.

Tang Shan noticed that the young man’s palms were covered in calluses and his skin was bronze, which meant he was likely also a blacksmith.

At this time, Tang Shan was 1.7 meters tall, and with subtle makeup on his face, he looked no different from an ordinary young man.

After a quick scan of the shop, Tang Shan went straight to the point: “Are you still hiring here?”

Hearing this, the young man carefully sized up the “young man” in front of him.

Seeing his coordinated limbs, well-proportioned figure, and especially the clear muscle contours faintly visible under his clothes, he clearly possessed extraordinary strength.

After a simple judgment, the young man smiled: “My name is Tie Qian, and I’m the shop manager.

Do you want to work here, little brother?”

Tang Shan shook his head: “To be precise, I’m here to learn the trade.

I’m quite interested in forging.

I am a Spirit Scholar about to break through.”

As he spoke, Tang Shan activated his Spirit.

His body quickly expanded, and a frame with knotted muscles and abundant explosive power appeared before the young man.

At the same time, a wisp of spirit power fluctuation of about rank ten emanated from him, but that thousand-year spirit ring was not released.

Regarding the control of spirit rings, although Tang Shan currently couldn’t change their color, it was very easy to control whether to release them.

Not just him, as long as a Spirit Master underwent a period of training, achieving this step wasn’t considered difficult.

Powerful, robust, overflowing with strength…

Seeing Tang Shan’s body, Tie Qian’s eyes lit up.

This was simply a Natural Blacksmithing Body.

“Stay here and don’t move.

I’ll be right back.”

But remembering Tang Shan’s request, the young man hesitated a bit.

He gave Tang Shan a serious instruction and turned to enter the back area specifically for forging.

Tang Shan’s mouth twitched slightly.

Recalling the young man’s final instruction, he ultimately said nothin
