After waking up at the hotel and
having breakfast,
it was already noon.
Yuan Xunlu took Yuan Ling'er directly into the air and flew towards the Star Dou Great Forest,
displaying the full strength of a level 95 Title Douluo.
In the sky, Yuan Ling'er saw for the first time the dense forest that blotted out the sky, a sea of green stretching as far as the eye could see.
No one knew exactly how many years the Star Dou Great Forest had existed on the Douluo Continent, but just look at Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and Bi Ji, and you'd know how ancient its history was.
From afar,
Yuan Ling'er vaguely felt waves of refreshing air blowing towards her,
the fragrance of plants invigorating and indescribably comforting.
Soon,
the green expanse was drawn in;
they had arrived at
the Star Dou Great Forest.
Yuan Xunlu began to land on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Even he, flying at a high speed of 500 kilometers per hour, felt a little tired.
"Dad, are you alright?" Yuan Ling'er asked her father with concern.
"It's alright, I'll be fine after a rest."
After a few breaths, Yuan Xunlu recovered to his peak condition and began searching for a suitable spirit ring with Yuan Ling'er.
"Remember, don't stray more than five meters away from me." Yuan Xunlu emphasized that
his little one was only level ten and had no self-defense capabilities. In this perilous Star Dou Great Forest, even a Title Douluo would be worried about something happening to her.
After thinking for a moment,
Yuan Xunlu simply held his little one's hand,
which put his mind at ease.
"Daddy, what kind of spirit ring do we need?"
"Guess."
Yuan Xunlu wanted to test his little one.
Yuan Ling'er lowered her head and thought for a moment:
"Although the Goddess of Light Butterfly is a butterfly-type martial soul, if I want to pursue a power-attack type spirit master path in the future, I need a spirit ring with the light attribute more, so we should find a spirit beast with the light attribute."
"That's right~"
Yuan Xunlu took out a map from his spirit tool and handed it to Yuan Ling'er.
"This is a map showing the distribution of spirit beast species in the edge and outer areas of the Star Dou Great Forest three years ago. Use this map to find the spirit beast you need."
"What about you, Dad?"
Yuan Xunlu put his hands behind his back. "I'm only responsible for your safety."
After all, spirit masters need to be trained.
He couldn't raise the little one into a useless person.
Yuan Ling'er had to walk her own path in the future.
You can't expect Yuan Xunlu to chase after Yuan Ling'er and feed her, can you?
"Hmm, let's go."
Yuan Ling'er didn't say anything. She picked up the map, glanced at it, and quickly locked onto her destination.
She pointed it out to Yuan Xunlu, who nodded.
So the two figures darted through the forest, startling a large flock of birds and beasts. However, a few minutes later, one of the small figures stopped.
"I can't walk anymore."
"Controlling soul power is also an important skill that soul masters should learn. Moving at high speed like you just now, although you increased your speed, also consumed a huge amount of soul power.
Soul power is the source of a soul master's power.
For a level ten soul master like you,
every bit of your soul power must be carefully calculated.
It's better to be frugal and
use it sparingly."
Yuan Xunlu stopped and waited for Yuan Ling'er to recover her soul power.
"Is this the science of soul power allocation?" Yuan Ling'er remembered seeing a similar paper somewhere.
Yuan Xunlu smiled and nodded.
It seemed that his little one was indeed a good student.
"Soul power allocation is actually an extremely important research subject, but unfortunately most soul masters are only focused on increasing their total soul power and are completely unaware of this."
Seeing Yuan Ling'er recovering her soul power,
Yuan Xunlu adopted the same enthusiasm he would show when lecturing his students: "For example , let's take the White Tiger Martial Soul of the Star Luo Empire's royal family as an example
of a light-type attack soul skill . After nearly a thousand years of research, the first three soul skills of the White Tiger family are almost fixed. Here, I will focus on their second soul skill—White Tiger Blazing Light Wave. Every White Tiger Martial Soul master I've seen, when releasing their second soul skill, always seems like an idiot, spitting out a beam of light ten feet thick straight at someone."
They don't even consider the loss of soul power!
In reality,
any soul skill a soul master can control the amount of soul power input.
When facing a powerful enemy, you can input a large amount of soul power to intensify the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave.
When facing a distant opponent, you can also input a large amount of soul power to extend the attack range of the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave.
When facing a large number of opponents,
in order to maintain continuous combat capability,
you must release the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave with only a small amount of soul power, multiple times, to conserve soul power.
Battles between soul masters of the same level are actually more like solving a math problem. For
every attack,
whether it's from the opponent or your own,
you have to quickly calculate the result and respond swiftly.
Allocating soul power is actually quite remarkable.
I remember back in the day when the Continental Martial Soul Research Association proposed this idea, the scholar who did so became famous.
"I understand~"
Yuan Ling'er gritted her teeth, stood up, and continued running.
"Dad, let's keep going."
Yuan Xunlu asked doubtfully, "Aren't we going to continue recovering soul power?" Yuan Ling'er smiled sweetly, but her eyes were resolute. "
It's alright. I'll be more careful this time; my soul power is enough to get me to my destination."
"Okay."
Yuan Xunlu wasn't worried about Yuan Ling'er's safety. In his opinion, Yuan Ling'er hadn't reached her limit yet.
The two continued on their way.
This time, Yuan Ling'er was much smarter,
using her soul power only where necessary,
while also
replenishing it as she walked quickly.
"I wish I could be as strong as Daddy."
Yuan Ling'er glanced at Yuan Xunlu as she walked.
Compared to Yuan Ling'er's careful planning,
Yuan Xunlu's soul power control was much more refined.
A layer of soul power adhered to his feet, lifting him
three inches off the ground as he glided along,
like a ghostly Douluo.
"After all, I have twin martial souls; I'll definitely be stronger than Daddy in the future!" Yuan Ling'er
wasn't discouraged and continued learning how to allocate soul power under these circumstances.
If Yuan Xunlu knew what Yuan Ling'er was thinking, he'd probably be overjoyed.
He wasn't afraid of Yuan Ling'er's ambition,
but rather that she was hopeless and incapable of anything.
"Looks like we've arrived?" Before Yuan
Ling'er appeared a vast, beautiful natural flower garden,
a riot of colors and
a riot of blooming flowers.
Preserving such a beautiful garden within the Star Dou Great Forest was actually quite difficult. Most soul beasts were large, mindless creatures with no aesthetic sense; their minds were consumed only with reproduction, survival, and power.
Could you really expect a bunch of mindless soul beasts to protect a garden? Therefore, there was only one explanation for the scenery here. This was the territory of a relatively powerful soul beast in the outer region . According to the map, the soul beasts living here were— the Radiant Blue Butterfly, a subspecies of the Goddess of Light Butterfly, a soul ring perfectly suited to Yuan Ling'er. "Whoosh—" A large blue butterfly swooped down at the human who had invaded their territory, only to be suppressed by powerful soul force. "I'm a Title Douluo, you think I'm invisible?" Yuan Xunlu, who hadn't even awakened his martial soul, shrugged. "This should be a four-hundred-year-old Radiant Blue Butterfly." Yuan Ling'er observed for a while before connecting it to the knowledge in the book, saying, "There are two white light spots on the wings. Following the pattern that the Radiant Blue Butterfly grows a light spot every two hundred years, it should be correct." "That's perfect, let's finish it off and then absorb the soul ring." Unlike a certain hypocritical god-king, Yuan Xunlu wanted to kill a soul beast or a person...
They never seek the moral high ground.
For example,
a certain God-King might say: "This human-faced spider attacked Xiao Wu, I will eliminate you in the name of justice.
" But Yuan Xunlu might say: "This soul beast suits me, die! "
Yuan Ling'er stared at the butterfly for a long time,
shook her head, and said
to Yuan Xunlu, "I won't."
