The Agility Attack System Soul Master's Predicament, Martial Souls and Soul Masters (Must Read)
Feng Xiaotian hadn't come specifically to find the two of them today. The competition was only a few days away, and they would naturally run into each other at the arena. Besides, they were clearly just out for a stroll, so there was no need to keep arguing. He then bid farewell to Huo Wu and left.
Xiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that the guy was gone. Tang San was a little curious as to why Feng Xiaotian had made him so impatient, so he recounted what had happened. Xiao Wu said he deserved it and had even dragged his third brother into it.
The two teams of five then joined together and visited several more Blacksmith's Shops belonging to the Strength Clan. Tai Long proudly introduced each shop, Xiang Yang often wondered what he would do if he knew Tang San's true identity.
Unfortunately, Tang Hao didn't bring it up, and Tang San was an extremely introverted person, mostly passive in acquiring information, and rarely did he actively collect it.
They ate lunch out. Xiao Wu hadn't wasted her time; she had visited many places in Heaven Dou City, allowing Xiang Yang and Tang San to experience quite a few local specialties.
As dusk approached, the group finished their shop-hunting. Xiang Yang led the way, casually admiring the street scenery. Jing Ling, who had been silent until now, approached and said, "Senior Xiang Yang, can I ask you some questions?" Actually, the substitutes knew a bit about Xiang Yang's age and the others' situation, but as the saying goes, the accomplished are teachers, and since their cultivation was inferior, they could only be juniors.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Go ahead and say it. I thought you were going to keep it to yourself."
He had long sensed that Jing Ling was suppressing her emotions, perhaps wanting to find a more suitable entry point, but she hadn't had the chance until now.
Xiang Yang was surprised to find that he was actually socially awkward, which was very rare among Soul Masters, even though he was quite wild in battle.
Jing Ling was silent for a moment, clearly not having considered this point, then said earnestly, "I want to know how your Martial Soul evolved, senior. I also want my Martial Soul Evolution."
Xiang Yang wasn't surprised. Anyone who knew anything about him would find it hard not to be curious. Xiang Yang's Martial Soul Evolution had changed even more than Tang San's.
But instead of directly attributing it to the immortal Immortal Herb, he first asked, "Do you understand your own Martial Soul?"
Before meeting Jing Ling, Xiang Yang had wondered if his skeleton Martial Soul was the same as the Body Martial Soul mentioned in later generations, but their time together made him give up that idea.
Because his method of using the Skeleton Martial Soul is similar to the possession of Beast Martial Soul, it can manifest independently, which is clearly different from the Martial Soul whose body is the Martial Soul Body Martial Soul.
Jing Ling instinctively wanted to say of course, after all, this was his own Martial Soul, how could he not understand it? But the person in front of him was no ordinary person. He had been observing silently from the sidelines these past few days and had some bold ideas about this, which was why he came specifically to ask the other party for advice.
After a moment's thought, he said, "My Martial Soul is Beast Martial Soul with some dark attributes, but although the skeleton Martial Soul is rare, its quality is only close to that of a high-level Martial Soul."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Xiang Yang understood. It seemed that Xiang Yang sought his help because he was dissatisfied with the strength of his Martial Soul. So he said, "So your fighting style is Agility Attack System because your Martial Soul isn't strong enough to fight head-on?"
Jing Ling nodded. "Yes, that's right." This was also the path that the academy teachers had arranged for him.
Among those of similar quality, his Skeleton Martial Soul, while not exactly fragile, certainly couldn't withstand a direct confrontation with Power Attack System Soul Master. This was mainly because...
Because the Skull Martial Soul provides too little physical enhancement.
If we use tigers and cats as an analogy, then his skeleton Martial Soul is like a cat of the same quality.
Xiang Yang thought for a moment and asked, "Which Soul Beasts do your Soul Skills originate from?"
Without hesitation, Jing Ling answered, "Boneclaw Wolf, Dark Demon Ape, and Shadow Mantis."
Xiang Yang said, "No wonder I was able to provide you with these three Soul Skills. But apart from the first one which is related to skeletons, the others are just useful Soul Skills."
Upon hearing this, Jing Ling thought to herself, "As expected, he must be another Grandmaster. Two Grandmaster in the same academy!"
Jing Ling only started paying attention to those theories two years ago. At that time, he was troubled by the conflict between his Martial Soul and his own fighting style. The effect of his third Soul Skill, Reverse Bone Berserk, was to increase his attack speed and attack power by 50%.
This Soul Skill is excellent, but the problem is that the enhancement from his Martial Soul skeleton after possession, as well as the effect on his body during normal cultivation, are too weak, so he cannot fully unleash the power that the Soul Skill should have.
This is what is known as the Agility Attack System. Apart from having better speed and agility than the Power Attack System, it can be said to be completely inferior to it.
Moreover, Agility Attack System can only clash with Power Attack System in the early stages. However, once they gain two more Soul Rings, most Power Attack System will possess Soul Skills that can either lock onto targets, track targets, or even have wide-area attacks.
Their only advantage, speed, is gone. How are Agility Attack System supposed to fight now? Even most Titled Douluo are Power Attack System.
That's why Jing Ling was so excited when he saw Xiang Yang's theory; it's precisely this that his Martial Soul lacked, it's just a pity that he...
I wasted two Soul Rings because I didn't realize it sooner.
He continued to collect this information and kept thinking about how to choose his fourth Soul Ring. Unexpectedly, the legendary Grandmaster came to his academy.
He certainly sought advice from others and benefited greatly, but this Grandmaster Yu also said that these theories were mainly the domain of another "Grandmaster," and he himself was still learning them.
Jing Ling has always been very good at managing her facial expressions. No matter what happens, she can pretend to be nonchalant. Even if she knows she guessed correctly, she can still maintain a blank expression.
He asked, "Are there any other methods besides Soul Rings?"
Xiang Yang hesitated. There was something there, but it wasn't perfect yet. Currently, he had only achieved 75% completion by himself, due to some reasons he hadn't yet figured out.
Another one is Tang San, whose Spiritual Power far surpasses that of others at the same level. Everyone else, whether it's Tang Hao and Dugu Bo, who are Titled Douluo, or the academy's teachers and classmates, can't even get past the basics.
There are clearly some key elements involved. First of all, it shouldn't be too related to cultivation level or Spiritual Power strength, nor is it something that only one person can do.
So it's quite clear from the result that both he and Tang San were transmigrators, reincarnated with memories of their past lives.
It was precisely because their souls contained "something" that did not belong to this world that they were able to easily achieve "Martial Soul Fusion".
While it's said that Martial Soul are part of Soul Master, that's not entirely true. Humans have physical bodies and are living beings with flesh and blood, while Martial Soul are merely energy entities.
Although there are special cases like Yu Xiaogang, his situation is an exception even among Martial Soul Mutations, and Luo Sanpao can still be contained by him.
Therefore, to be precise, apart from the fact that the Body Martial Soul is currently uncertain, humans and Martial Soul have a Symbiosis relationship, with a very obvious barrier between them.
Otherwise, why would Martial Soul Avatar need Soul Ring to be released? If it were truly one entity, this should be the same instinct as Martial Soul Possession. Furthermore, the term "possession" implies that the two are not one entity at all.
Why must one use Soul Rings to unleash Soul Skills? Why can't one use them at will?
What is the origin of Martial Soul? Did humans possess them inherently, or did they suddenly appear at a certain stage?
Is it Transformed Soul Beast? What about weapon or treasure-type Martial Souls?
Why do only humans possess Martial Soul? Where does the Martial Soul go when a person dies?
