Soul Beast-Soul Master Symbiosis Conjecture

Although he understood the whole story, Tian Hao did not care.

This was a crisis, but if handled well, it could instead become an opportunity.

Moreover, he guessed that only Ah Yin had seen the envelope. Tang Hao had not, or he would have come charging over with his great hammer long ago.

That left room to maneuver.

"Was it because of this?"

He opened the notebook and stopped on a certain page. His gaze fell on the Soul Beast-Soul Master Symbiosis Conjecture, and he roughly guessed why Ah Yin had approached him so closely.

What troubled Ah Yin most now was undoubtedly the conflict between soul beasts and human Soul Masters. It was the greatest obstacle and hidden danger to her relationship with Tang Hao, and she surely hoped to find a way to resolve it.

Among his Hundred Great Conjectures was a method that could resolve that conflict: the Soul Master-Soul Beast Symbiosis Conjecture.

He put the notebook back into the drawer. After some thought, he did not destroy the letter either, instead placing it back in the drawer as well.

Since she had already seen it, there was no need to hide it. Destroying it now would only make her suspicious.

It was most beneficial for him to continue interacting with her naturally. If he could even use Ah Yin to bring the Soul Master-Soul Beast Symbiosis Conjecture to fruition, he could indirectly alter his own aptitude and speed up his Soul Power cultivation.

"Ah Yin has Tang Hao. She can't possibly coexist with me. In that case..."

His gaze fell once more upon the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around the Blue Silver Overlord Spear in the courtyard. Tian Hao felt that it would make a fine symbiotic partner, and it could conveniently serve as the vessel for fusing Ah Yin's Blue Silver Domain.

He had long since devised a way to fuse with and acquire the Blue Silver Domain: a Soul Skill Fusion Skill.

The Blue Silver Overlord Spear was a construct created by a Soul Skill. Theoretically, it could be merged into his body with a Soul Skill Fusion Skill, allowing him to indirectly obtain the Blue Silver Domain attached to the spear.

He had previously worried that his body might not be able to bear it, but with that Blue Silver Grass that had developed intelligence, there would surely be no problem.

With that thought, Tian Hao lay down on the bed and fell fast asleep.

The Blue Silver Domain's recovery was not omnipotent. He still needed sleep.

As for his pre-sleep exercise, it was not as though he had skipped it today. Though he had not practiced that Martial Skill, he had cultivated the more intense Chaotic Cape Style and Double Chaotic Cape Style instead, with even better results.

With the Blue Silver Domain's assistance, even his sleep quality was doubled.

Combined with the deep sleep induced through Tian Hao's self-hypnosis, he woke up fully refreshed three hours later.

He glanced at Ah Yin and Tang Hao, who still had not returned, and could not be bothered with them. After getting up and washing, he went to the village entrance square to lead the dancing and singing once again, then ate the breakfast Village Elder Li Tou had brought.

The villagers took turns providing his lunch and dinner, but breakfast had always been prepared by Old Li Tou's family.

"Those two won't cause any trouble, right?"

Old Li Tou, whose complexion was somewhat poor, waited until everyone had left the square before asking in a low voice.

He had not slept at all last night. He felt that taking in those two might bring trouble, perhaps even disaster.

Those one hundred Gold Soul Coins were burning a hole in his pocket.

"It's probably nothing."

After offering reassurance, Tian Hao had gained confidence now that he understood Ah Yin's purpose.

Those conjectures had originally just been wild ideas with little basis, but after activating his golden finger and becoming a cheat-wielding powerhouse, he was confident he could make them real.

As long as he developed the Soul Beast-Soul Master symbiosis system, Ah Yin would become his staunch supporter. Anyone who wanted to harm him would have to step over Ah Yin's corpse first.

"But better safe than sorry. Old man, do you know of anywhere else we could settle down?"

Thinking of the conflict between the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall, Tian Hao was somewhat worried.

In the original story, Qian Xunji had targeted Tang Hao not only because of Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, but also because Tang Hao was the next generation's Clear Sky Douluo. The entire Spirit Hall did not want the Clear Sky Sect to produce another Clear Sky Douluo.

Spirit Hall had clearly been watching Tang Hao for a long time. Who knew whether they would come looking for him?

They had to prepare in advance.

"Money is hard to earn these days."

Old Li Tou, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately tensed up again. At last, he sighed.

"I'll make the arrangements myself."

Old Li Tou nodded and left with a heavy heart, leaning on his cane.

Finding another place to settle would not be difficult. This mountain range was vast, and its depths were connected to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Quite a few villages had been built in this region just for mining the mineral veins. Though they had all been abandoned, their foundations remained.

Not to mention that many mountains had been hollowed out by mining. They could easily be used as dwellings.

What he needed to worry about now was how to lead the villagers away without leaving any traces if disaster truly came, so they would not be pursued.

That would require careful planning.

While Old Li Tou racked his brains over there, Tian Hao sat beneath the crooked tree at the village entrance, eating breakfast as he pondered.

"That Third Guy's rise to power proves that martial arts have a market in Douluo. According to my earlier conjecture, every Soul Skill should be expandable and imitable into a complete martial art. Right, they call that a Self-Created Soul Skill.

"For example, if Zhao Wuji's Great Strength Vajra Palm were developed further, it could probably be copied into that famous ultimate technique from a certain temple. Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body could imitate the signature technique of a certain Jue Wushen. Yu Xiaogang's Soul Skill... uh, forget that one..."

Tian Hao imagined the future. He had always felt that the existence of soul rings and Soul Skills restricted the development of Soul Masters. Or rather, most Soul Masters had not deeply developed their own soul rings and Soul Skills.

As far as he knew, the only one who had done well in this regard was that simp Feng Xiaotian from Godwind Academy. He had developed a single Soul Skill into Gale Wolf Consecutive Slashes. If the Gale Wings created by his Soul Skill had not been weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer, he might not have lost to Tang San's Chaotic Cape Style in the Soul Master Competition.

Wasn't Feng Xiaotian's Gale Wolf Consecutive Slashes a set of martial arts?

If it were developed more thoroughly, allowing someone to condense Gale Wings without relying on a Soul Skill, it would become a complete and independent martial art.

He believed it was feasible to condense Gale Wings without a Soul Skill. He could imitate that Dou Qi Transformation into a Horse from the neighboring world of Dou Po... ahem, Dou Qi Transformation into Wings. They were both energy constructs anyway.

If that did not work, he could borrow that Eagle's Wings from the anti-inflammatory medicine guy next door and fuse the wings of a flying soul beast onto his back.

"Also, I need to find a soul bone to study. I wonder whether soul bones can be enhanced and copied into something like the Desolate Heaven Emperor's Supreme Bone? Other precious bones would work too."

His thoughts soon turned to soul bones. When he had come up with the Hundred Great Conjectures before, his thinking had still been rather conservative. But the appearance of his golden finger had given him confidence, and he could be bolder.

Soul bones had plenty of potential too. He could work toward the precious bones and Supreme Bones of Perfect World.

"I've gone too far off track. Right now, I should be thinking about how to copy and evolve this Grass Root Martial Soul into some Nine-Leaf Sword Grass. Then I'll be a knockoff Grass Heaven Emperor. Even a budget version would be enough to sweep across the Douluo universe."

Reining in his thoughts, Tian Hao manifested his Grass Root Martial Soul in his palm and considered how to evolve the thing as quickly as possible.

Though he had already set his sights on the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Ah Yin's appearance had given him more ideas. Perhaps he could use her to evolve his Martial Soul.

After all, the Martial Soul he had inherited was his father's Foxtail Grass, and Foxtail Grass was also a kind of weed, even lower-grade than Blue Silver Grass.

Still, no matter what, both were herbaceous plants. There should be many similarities between them.

Even if he could not learn the authentic Blue Silver Domain, copying a Foxtail Grass Domain should not be a problem.

(Tian Someone: From now on, call me the budget version of the Grass Heaven Emperor. Hurry up and hand over your recommendation tickets.)
