Speculations on the Ancient Civilization of Douluo Continent

Yu Xiaogang and Dean Kahn had a good drink together at the Academy Cafeteria. Dean Kahn was in high spirits today and ordered an entire table of dishes. Yu Xiaogang and Kahn did not eat much, merely drinking and chatting, while Snowball ate until she was stuffed. Snowball was very satisfied with today's fare. After eating and drinking their fill, Yu Xiaogang and Snowball bade Dean Kahn farewell and returned to their dormitory. Once there, he had Deep Blue deduce a Body Strengthening Pill with whale rubber as the main ingredient.

After all, he had promised Su Yuntao a grand gift. What gift could be better than whale rubber, which enhanced one's physique and allowed one to absorb soul rings beyond one's limits? "Hehe! Master, the deduction using whale rubber as the main ingredient was very quick. Deep Blue has already completed it! Let Deep Blue assist Master in refining medicine!"

Yu Xiaogang had only just assigned Deep Blue the task when it immediately produced the result. Without him realizing it, Deep Blue had grown stronger as well, nearly becoming the kind of personal AI terminal found in science fiction novels.

On second thought, wasn't Deep Blue becoming stronger even more beneficial to him? The next time he returned to Holy Soul Village, he could begin setting up the Blue Silver Grass Network.

Yu Xiaogang could not help teasing Deep Blue about its little scheme. "I think you just want your master to use Martial Soul Possession with my Second Martial Soul! Still, that feeling of having everything under control really is intoxicating."

Realizing that its master had seen through its secret, Deep Blue openly admitted it. "Aww, Master~! After merging with you through Martial Soul Possession, Deep Blue obtained a great deal of data on the Heaven and Earth Energy of Douluo Continent. Master, guess what Deep Blue discovered?"

After explaining itself, Deep Blue started speaking in riddles again. Yu Xiaogang could only play along and indulge Deep Blue's curiosity. "Oh? How could I not know? What is it? Please tell me, Deep Blue! I'm very curious!"

Deep Blue puffed out its chest proudly and planted its hands on its hips. Having gotten the reaction it wanted, it began explaining the great secret it had discovered through recent data comparisons.

"Master! I discovered that there is a peculiar energy barrier in the skies above Douluo Continent. I compared the Heaven and Earth Energy data obtained during our last Martial Soul Possession with the energy data from when Master had just transmigrated to Douluo Star. Based on the Douluo Continent novel series Master gave Deep Blue, Deep Blue suspects that the ancient Soul Tool Technology was destroyed by gods. Also, strange energy ripples have recently been scanning this place quite often. But don't worry, Master! Deep Blue has already shielded us from them!"

Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened slightly. Sure enough, the countless netizens on the novel forums had guessed more or less correctly. After the God Realm vanished, humanity's technology developed so quickly in the third Douluo Continent era because it was no longer suppressed by gods.

Douluo Continent had remained a feudal society for tens of thousands of years. Why had no one awakened to wisdom and unified the continent? Surely there should have been such people. The Soul Tool civilization destroyed in ancient times... the people of the Sun Moon Continent must have inherited the legacy of that ancient civilization!

Once Yu Xiaogang reached the rank of Titled Douluo, it seemed he should make a trip to the Sun Moon Continent. Perhaps he would find some unexpected gains. Moreover, in the original Yu Xiaogang's memories, he and the Golden Iron Triangle had once bravely explored Ancient Ruins. To a modern person, that place had looked entirely like the post-apocalyptic remains of a fallen technological civilization.

Thinking that his future enemies might be gods gave Yu Xiaogang even greater motivation. Even if he did not face them now, once he began pushing Soul Tool Technology toward science fiction levels, they would inevitably clash. He was only afraid that the gods would personally intervene before he was halfway done. He would have to be more careful afterward. It seemed that gods had been watching Tang San ever since his rebirth, so he could test the waters.

Yu Xiaogang affirmed Deep Blue's speculation, then used Martial Soul Possession with his Second Martial Soul. Using the ultra-precise Mental Power enhanced by Deep Blue, he controlled his Soul Power and began refining medicine.

After a series of processes, the whale rubber yielded over three hundred pills, using up all the hundred-year and Thousand-Year Whale Rubber. Yu Xiaogang planned to refine the ten-thousand-year whale rubber only after reaching level forty, since he had run out of high-grade supplementary herbs. His Gold Soul Coins could not support such waste either! Deep Blue had already cracked every soul tool formation inside the Storage Soul Tool and had even deduced the formations needed for a soul tool capable of storing living creatures. Who would not want a portable space? He also hoped that once Deep Blue became stronger, it could deduce a method for creating planes.

After ending Martial Soul Possession, Yu Xiaogang first gave Snowball a hot bath. Perhaps Snowball had gotten used to him, because she did not resist this time. However, she still deliberately flung water onto him, turning Yu Xiaogang into a drenched rat.

After taking a comfortable hot bath, he organized the Martial Soul analysis data and soul ring recommendations for the Elite Class students from today. He compiled them into booklets and planned to hand them out tomorrow. Yu Xiaogang had truly poured his heart and soul into the Elite Class students. Several of the Martial Soul recommendations had even been provided through Deep Blue's deductions.

Deep Blue truly was Yu Xiaogang's thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket. Yu Xiaogang felt that if he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent alone, he could only have become an ordinary person. Everything he now possessed—his cultivation methods, abilities, and knowledge—was built upon his Phone Martial Soul.

Once Yu Xiaogang finished his work, he went to bed. However, he also considered when he should contact Flender. The Elite Class students would soon reach level ten and need to hunt soul beasts for soul rings. Wouldn't it be foolish not to use a useful errand-runner and do it himself?

Yu Xiaogang also intended to combine his recent experimental reports with theory and publish a new book on Martial Soul theory, proving that he was no longer the useless Yu Xiaogang from before.

But how should he handle the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Although the original Yu Xiaogang had already been expelled from the clan, his Martial Soul Second Awakening into the Light Golden Sacred Dragon could not be concealed. Unless he never used his First Martial Soul for the rest of his life.

Yu Xiaogang also casually considered getting in touch with Bibi Dong. There were not many ancient soul tool books available for Deep Blue to study right now, but Spirit Hall had existed on Douluo Continent for so long that it must have preserved something.

Yu Xiaogang sighed as well. The original owner had only read books related to Martial Souls and soul beasts while at Spirit Hall, ignoring everything else. Now he had to let Deep Blue deduce soul tools from scratch.

He needed to deal with his cousin Liu Erlong as soon as possible. Hesitating when he should make a clean break was not his style. It looked like he needed to write a letter to Second Dragon Sister. Flender happened to like Liu Erlong too, so he could withdraw at the right time.

Yu Xiaogang was not the original owner, forever wavering and unable to make a decisive break. Liu Erlong's feelings were not yet deep. Otherwise, just like in the original story, Liu Erlong's love for Yu Xiaogang would ferment after being buried for over twenty years and drive her completely mad.

The thought alone was terrifying. No wonder this was the Continent of Romance. He should pursue Bibi Dong instead. In his memories, he had seen Bibi Dong's pure yet seductive face and her scorching figure. He was definitely not lusting after Bibi Dong's body; this was love at first sight! According to the timeline of the original Douluo Continent story, Bibi Dong was still safe and had not yet been imprisoned in Qian Xunji's secret chamber. She had not yet gone mad after suffering harm either. He needed to grow stronger as quickly as possible.

Yu Xiaogang's First Martial Soul could currently only condense soul rings on its own up to the fifth soul ring of the Soul King rank, but the phone had no such limitation. After using Martial Soul Possession with his Second Martial Soul, his appearance changed drastically, and even his Soul Power aura could be altered through Deep Blue. It was practically an Alternate Identity made for causing trouble!

When the time came, Yu Xiaogang could use Martial Soul Possession with his Second Martial Soul, switch to another Alternate Identity, and go cause trouble. What would that have to do with Yu Xiaogang? Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul was the Light Golden Sacred Dragon, not an elf!
