"Very good."
If you were to ask which of the Soul Arena Beasts You Chen was most satisfied with, it would naturally be the "Red Dragon" in front of him.
As top-tier dragon Martial Soul, the Fire Dragon does not possess the powerful and highly versatile special abilities of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Even compared to Yan's Flame Lord, it has better base attributes but worse bonus points, making its overall quality inferior.
But in You Chen's opinion, Ignis's talent is by no means inferior to Yan, who is guaranteed to be Super Douluo!
There's no other reason than that Ignis possesses the Innate Full Soul Power!
The three members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation all had Soul Power aptitude of level 9, slightly exceeding that level, but none of them Innate Full Soul Power.
Aside from some special cases, the level of Soul Power aptitude is basically equivalent to the level of Martial Soul quality.
Roughly speaking, levels 1-3 are low-quality, levels 3-5 are mid-quality, levels 5-8 are high-quality, and levels 8-10 Top Quality. As for naturally born super-quality Martial Soul, most can only be considered quasi-super Martial Soul when they are first awakened. They need to wait for the Soul Master's spirit and body to grow for a period of time and acquire several Soul Ring before they can truly reach the super realm.
As for Qian Renxue? Level 20 innate talent, God-Bestowed Martial Soul, what more is there to say?
Therefore, even if the scores in the six dimensions are similar, Ignis's overall potential is actually higher than the literal data suggests.
After all, the six-dimensional chart is just a reference value; it doesn't mean that a Martial Soul with a higher value will necessarily be better than one with a lower value. If it could be calculated that precisely, You Chen wouldn't have needed to introduce some kind of bonus points that don't count towards the total score.
You Chen never regarded his six-dimensional diagram, which he used to summarize phenomena, as the standard.
The real significance of classifying spirits into categories like control, Power Attack System, and Agility Attack System is to guide Soul Master in the direction of cultivating their Martial Soul, rather than limiting one's path simply because one determines that their Martial Soul is of the Power Attack System.
The six-dimensional diagram that You Chen listed is merely a refinement of this guiding function, allowing Soul Master to understand their own Martial Soul and the Martial Soul of others from a more rational and data-driven perspective.
When talking about the strength of Martial Soul, we have to mention why, even though the Flame Lord and other Martial Soul with overall performance and potential are no less than those of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and the Clear Sky Hammer, which are now renowned as the strongest, have not developed similar families?
It's not that the Spirit Hall in the original timeline was destroyed, so it couldn't be passed down.
After all, considering the world of the Douluo Continent and the number of Soul Master, there must have been more than just a few top-tier Martial Soul.
Firstly, development cannot be based solely on individual ability; other forces may not be happy to see multiple families rise up and share the pie.
Another objective reason for its difficulty in inheritance is the instability of Martial Soul.
Let's take the Flame Lord as an example again.
It is not guaranteed that the offspring of a Flame Lord Soul Master will be able to produce a Flame Lord Soul Master. On the contrary, it is very likely that they will only produce a weakened high-level Martial Soul called "Flame Sprite". If the Flame Sprite Soul Master does not work hard enough and does not grow to a sufficient level before giving birth, the Martial Soul may weaken again and become something like "Flame Little Sprite".
Why is this? Because this part of the genes of the first Flame Lord Soul Master is not stable.
The Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon are hailed as the number one weapon Martial Soul and Beast Martial Soul in the world because their "genes" are stable. They start at the level of high- Martial Soul to top-tier Martial Soul. If they can acquire nine rings to reach the Titled Douluo, they will essentially possess the strength of a super Martial Soul.
While spirits like the Flame Lord and Golden Crocodile possess considerable potential and are considered top-tier Martial Soul, they are unlikely to form a family like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon because their genes are not yet stable. It requires several generations of stabilization—that is, producing consecutive Titled Douluo and passing down their bloodlines—to stabilize the mutated factors, achieving an effect similar to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, where the entire family is essentially the same.
Therefore, "number one in the world" does not mean that the Martial Soul itself is invincible, but rather that it is the most capable of consistently producing "top-tier" qualities.
As mentioned before, You Chen is just a genius, not an "all-rounder".
These Martial Soul Awakening Soul Master, whose bodies become beast-like and unable to cultivate normally, are essentially genetically unstable, and whose bloodline strength far exceeds their own mental will. This imbalance ultimately leads to malignant mutations.
The reason he was able to solve the problem of these beast-like mutated Soul Master was largely due to his primary research project, which was the power of the Martial Soul Origin and the cultivation system of the three elements of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit.
In this respect, it's a perfect match for his expertise. Of course, if it weren't for this reason, You Chen wouldn't have so easily chosen to establish the Soul Arena Beasts project back then—it couldn't have been just because he wanted a beast girl maid that he specifically researched such a completely new project, right?
Furthermore, since these Soul Masters who exhibit beast-like behavior do so because of their excessively strong bloodlines, they are generally quite talented. After You Chen resolves their issues and allows them to cultivate normally, they will naturally have a smoother path in their Soul Master cultivation than the average person.
In short, from this perspective, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reluctance to acknowledge Liu Erlong as a member of the family and to allow her to be added to the family tree for continued interbreeding and inheritance is very likely to ensure the stability of this bloodline, that is, the genes.
Some might say that it's just a Fire Dragon Martial Soul, nothing special, and that it might even make the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline stronger after hybridization!
But... is there any need for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, which is already the number one Beast Martial Soul in the world, to continue strengthening itself? Obviously not.
They clearly value "stability" and "non-degeneration" more than evolution!
The physical strength of the Fire Dragon Martial Soul is not weaker than that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. During the process of combining the two, it is very likely that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon gene strength will be weaker than that of the Fire Dragon, resulting in the production of Fire Dragon Soul Master.
If this happens even once or twice, the bloodline will be truly "polluted".
Therefore, they are willing to marry or form alliances with Martial Soul Master who have dragon genes but are weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but they are unwilling to accept Liu Erlong into the family tree.
And now, Soul Master with the same "Fire Dragon" Martial Soul has appeared before You Chen...
'I really want to see what the differences are between the children she produces at different levels!'
You Chen felt his researcher's soul burning brightly.
Perhaps it was the intense gaze of You Chen as he was lost in thought that caused a delicate blush to appear on Ignis's cold and beautiful face, who was completely unaware of what was going on.
You Chen, however, was also brought back to his senses and nodded slightly to Ignis: "As a result of your willingness to serve as an experimental subject, as long as you can successfully advance to Soul Ancestor this time and be certified by me as having the combat power of Soul King, then... you will be our first Beast Head of the Soul Arena Beasts - the Dragon Head!"
Ignis looked up abruptly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and longing.
Meanwhile, the other Soul Arena Beasts below cast envious, longing, or resentful glances at Ignis.
Aside from himself, the leader of the Soul Arena Beasts organization established by You Chen only had three clearly defined ranks.
Although the Beast Soldier are divided into superior beast Beast Soldier who command subordinate Beast Soldier like squad leaders, subordinate Beast Soldier who are commanded, and finally reserve Beast Soldier, they are actually all of the same rank.
For example, if any irreconcilable conflict arises, it will not be the superior Beast Soldier who judges and deals with the subordinate Beast Soldier. Instead, the Beast Envoy mediate first, and then it will be handed over to You Chen for direct judgment.
Superior Beast Soldier can only use discipline to restrain subordinate Beast Soldier when carrying out missions.
But the Beast Head, or the "Twelve Beast Heads," are different.
This is clearly the "management" or "ruling class," possessing the power of direct trial and judgment!
More importantly...
Anyone who becomes the first Beast Head of a certain species can then make a wish to the leader You Chen, that will not endanger You Chen or the organization!
How could they not yearn for it?
With just a few words, You Chen invigorated the fighting spirit of all the Soul Arena Beasts!
—If Ignis can be the Beast Head, so can we!
