Multi-Characteristic Concept!

After confirming Larvitar's moves and skills, Lin Xia grew even more curious about its Characteristics!

After all, Characteristics were an enormous enhancement for Pokemon. Every Pokemon had its own Characteristic.

Larvitar had two Characteristics. One was Guts—if it fell into a Status Condition, Larvitar's attack would become even stronger!

The other was its Hidden Ability, Sand Veil. Under Sandstorm Weather, its Evasion Rate would increase. In Douluo Continent terms, it would probably become more agile!

But under the current conditions, Lin Xia had no way to test either Characteristic, so he could only give up helplessly.

The moment Lin Xia abandoned the idea of further investigating Larvitar's existing Characteristics, the thought was like a stone dropped into a calm lake. The ripples it created instantly set off towering waves in his mind.

A Mental Lock that had bound him to the Pokemon worldview for so long suddenly shattered with a Kā Chā!

"Wait! I've been an idiot!"

Lin Xia slapped his forehead, his eyes widening as though he were seeing this world clearly for the first time.

"I fucking transmigrated! This is Douluo Continent! My Martial Soul is indeed a living Larvitar, but this world's rules aren't based on Pokemon rules at all!"

"Why do I have to force Pokemon Encyclopedia Characteristics and moves onto it? Why can't I... think bigger? Why can't I broaden my thinking even more?"

This thought spread like wildfire, instantly igniting every idea in Lin Xia's mind.

Lin Xia abruptly lowered his head and stared intensely at Larvitar, who was patting its little belly with its short Claws and savoring the taste of the Mineral Ore.

"Obtain Soul Ring... Soul Skills..."

Lin Xia muttered to himself, his heart beginning to pound uncontrollably. Every beat felt like a Heavy Hammer striking his Chest Cavity.

"If... if, when I hunt Soul Beasts to Obtain Soul Rings, I deliberately choose Soul Beasts of certain types and attributes... could I... could I use the effects produced by Soul Skills to imitate, or even directly grant Larvitar Characteristics like those of Pokemon?"

The thought was like lightning tearing through the fog in his mind, instantly illuminating a brand-new path of almost limitless possibilities!

"Characteristics! Pokemon Characteristics!"

Lin Xia was so excited that he nearly jumped up, his breathing turning heavy.

"These aren't moves or skills! They don't need to be actively used; almost all of them take effect passively! Their effects are simple and brutal, and once they stack together..."

Lin Xia's mind raced at an unprecedented speed. The names of countless top-tier Characteristic Combinations flashed wildly through his head.

Sand Raising: It automatically summoned Sandstorm Weather upon entering battle! Just imagine it—Tyranitar appeared, and the skies darkened as sand and stones filled the air!

Sand Veil: Evasion Rate increased in Sandstorm Weather! Wasn't that the pinnacle of Ghostly Shadow Movement Technique in Douluo, impossible to predict or catch?

Sand Rush: Speed doubled in Sandstorm Weather! A colossal beast moving like a Ghostly Shadow within a Sandstorm—who could keep up with it?!

Sand Force: In Sandstorm Weather, the power of Rock, Ground Type, and Steel Type moves increased!

Regenerator: It restored part of his Soul Power and injuries when withdrawn into the Martial Soul Space! Endless sustain like a perpetual machine on the battlefield!

Rough Skin: Opponents who made contact with it suffered Retaliation Damage! Any close-combat enemy would pay the price for touching it!

Levitate: It was immune to Ground Type attacks! It could even let Tyranitar fly! (Groudon, say something!)

Sheer Force: It sacrificed a move's Secondary Effect to greatly increase its power! The embodiment of ultimate violence!

"Sand Raising + Sand Veil + Sand Rush + Sand Force + Regenerator + Rough Skin + Levitate..."

Lin Xia merely arranged these names together, yet a terrifying image that made his Scalp Numbness and his blood boil instantly unfolded before his eyes!

Lin Xia seemed to see the distant future, where his Martial Soul had already evolved into its Ultimate Form—the Desert Tyrant, Tyranitar!

It would no longer be a king crawling upon the earth. It would be...

A mountain-sized body clad in savage armor like solidified lava, ignoring gravity as it hovered steadily in midair!

Its massive body blotted out the sun, casting a suffocating shadow across the ground!

An unprecedented super Sandstorm howled around it, yet could not shake it in the slightest.

This was no ordinary wind and sand. It carried sharp fragments of rock and violent Spirit Energy capable of tearing space apart—a supreme natural disaster that could grind steel to dust and blot out the stars!

Yellow sand filled the skies and covered the sun, turning the entire battlefield into an absolute domain of death!

As far as the eye could see, there would be nothing but endless whirlwinds of destruction!

And within this Sandstorm hell that it ruled, Tyranitar, which should have seemed somewhat sluggish due to its immense size, would instead become as agile as the Sandstorm itself!

"...Hiss...!"

Lin Xia sucked in a breath of icy air. Just imagining it made goosebumps rise all over his body, and an intense tingling sensation shot straight to the top of his head!

The Corners of the Mouth pulled upward wildly and uncontrollably, exposing a row of pale teeth. His grin nearly stretched to his ears.

That smile was filled with extreme excitement!

"As for Soul Skills? Ordinary Soul Skills?"

Lin Xia's body trembled faintly with excitement. He shook his head hard, as though dismissing the greatest joke in the world.

"Who the hell still cares about those things? Are Pokemon moves not numerous enough, or not useful enough?"

"As long as Larvitar awakened its moves step by step, would I still have to worry about lacking skills to use?"

"Besides, the moves Larvitar awakened on its own were its most compatible innate abilities, with the greatest potential and the most terrifying power! As long as I kept training it, kept digging deeper, and kept helping it grow and evolve, these skills would have no upper limit to their growth!"

Lin Xia's eyes burned like fire.

"And with the 'Characteristics' granted by Soul Rings serving as super amplifiers... this combination is simply flawless!"

"So flawless that every so-called 'Soul Skill combination theory' would pale in comparison! They would be Larvitar's Divine Equipment cheats!"

"Now, The Only One thing left to verify is my theory—whether 'Characteristic granting' through specific Soul Ring Soul Skills can! Or! Cannot! Work under the rules of Douluo Continent!"

Lin Xia's fists clenched unconsciously, and the remaining powder from the Mineral Ore trickled down between his fingers.

As he looked at the still-young Larvitar, which innocently stuck out its little tongue to lick the Mineral Ore crumbs from its Claws, his eyes burned with incomparably firm conviction and anticipation.

"Just wait, Larvitar!"

Lin Xia's gaze turned toward the depths of the distant continent, as though he could already see the legendary, abundant Ore Veins of Gengjin City.

"Eat your fill and grow stronger! Once we find enough food, once my Soul Power... breaks through rank ten!"

"That will be the time to witness a miracle!"

The innocent Larvitar on the ground seemed to sense Lin Xia's excitement and determination. It also cried out forcefully, "Yoji!" while constantly waving its tiny Claws!
