The Power of Douluo Planet's Martial Souls

Li Ang was no fool; this feeling was incredibly uncomfortable. If that broken system were still around, it might have been able to help him improve gradually.

But now the system was gone, and the template it left behind had been absorbed by him.

The Geo Archon Rex Lapis template began to reshape his planet—or rather, the entire Douluo Planet, which was his own Martial Soul.

It was transforming Douluo Planet into something far more powerful, but such a transformation required time.

Currently, he only possessed the two most fundamental abilities of the Geo Archon Rex Lapis.

One was the Jade Shield, and the other was the Heavenly Motion Eternal Treasure.

These two abilities were naturally very strong, but the problem was that, aside from them, he had no other distinct features.

This is really frustrating. I can't even open the interface after merging with this template.

It feels like I've gained the base attributes of the Geo Archon Rex Lapis, but how exactly should I test them?

Li Ang muttered to himself, a look of contemplation on his face.

After thinking for a long time, his eyes snapped shut, then suddenly flew open.

According to the lore, the greatest strengths of the Geo Archon Rex Lapis are his combat prowess and his mastery over elemental abilities.

Although I only command the Geo element right now, my elemental power is clearly not that strong yet.

However, my physical capabilities are constantly growing, nourished by the power of the planet itself.

Li Ang analyzed his situation while staring at his own hands.

As he clenched his fists, the sound of bones grinding together echoed out.

He could feel that the power within his body was far beyond anyone's imagination.

This was the strength bestowed upon him by both Douluo Planet and the template; the potential for growth this power offered was truly unimaginable.

Yet, as he pondered, Li Ang grew hungry again.

So, he stood up in silence and headed to the next floor to eat.

As time passed, evening arrived, and Xiao Zhou finally brought him outside to a higher level.

Standing beside Shen Ming was a woman who offered him a faint smile.

Shen Ming introduced the woman to Li Ang.

"This is Ming Yue, my assistant."

"From now on, she will be responsible for your daily routine and living arrangements. If you need anything, tell her first, and she will relay it to me."

"Of course, if you have any complaints, you can also report them directly to me."

As Shen Ming spoke, he gestured toward the woman. She was quite beautiful, about 1.7 meters tall, with long black hair tied up into a bun.

She wore a professional suit, her eyes fixed on Li Ang with a gentle expression.

"Greetings, Young Pagoda Master. My name is Ming Yue, and I will be in charge of your daily life and cultivation matters."

Ming Yue said, bowing slightly.

Li Ang glanced at her and gave a calm nod.

His face was filled with thought; considering the possibilities he had contemplated all afternoon, he looked directly at Shen Ming.

"Teacher, may I go attach a Soul Ring now? Also, if possible, I would like to test my physical attributes."

"And if you could, please find me an instructor to teach me how to train my body."

Li Ang looked at Shen Ming, speaking directly and without a hint of hesitation.

Shen Ming thought for a moment before nodding, then turned his gaze toward Ming Yue.

Ming Yue bowed and gestured for them to follow, leading Li Ang to an even higher floor.

This was where the Soul Spirits were stored, filled with century-level Soul Spirits produced by the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda or acquired from headquarters.

Glancing over these Soul Spirits, Li Ang walked inside with a calm expression.

Before him stood several rows of Soul Spirits, and there was even a scanner available to help him find one suitable for his needs.

Even Shen Ming could not fully comprehend Li Ang's Martial Soul.

He couldn't determine what kind of Martial Soul it truly was, so he ultimately decided to let it be and let Li Ang handle it himself.

As for the choice of a Soul Spirit, Li Ang was deep in thought.

But as he thought about it, something felt off.

His Martial Soul was the entire Douluo Planet; what could possibly grant a Soul Ring to Douluo Planet?

Only Douluo Planet itself could do that.

Logically speaking, he should be able to grant Soul Rings to himself.

However, that didn't seem right; it felt like a logical contradiction.

Li Ang had spent the entire afternoon thinking about this problem before finally realizing that he could indeed provide Soul Rings for himself.

The function of a Soul Spirit was even simpler: if the Douluo World could produce soul beasts, then he could do the same.

Lost in thought, Li Ang walked forward calmly.

His gaze swept over the items casually before he picked up the Soul Spirit Ball closest to him.

Inside the Soul Spirit Ball was a small, entirely black puppy.

Looking at the somewhat bewildered puppy, Li Ang gripped the Soul Spirit Ball calmly while circulating the martial soul power within his body.

As his Douluo Planet martial soul vibrated slightly, various genetic data began to appear in Li Ang's mind.

Regarding his martial soul, it was just as Li Ang had guessed: it truly did not require external sources to provide Soul Rings.

Instead, it could provide Soul Rings for itself.

Currently, because Douluo Planet was restricted, the effects of the Soul Rings it provided were quite simple.

They were single, specific special effects, such as Elemental Affinity or a Divine Physique.

This was a combination of passive and active abilities, and Li Ang was quite satisfied with it regardless.

However, looking at the black dog in his hand, Li Ang pondered for a moment.

As he raised his palm, the characteristics of all soul beasts existing in the Douluo World were slowly condensed and selected by him.

He was already quite strong at his current stage.

With the Geo Archon Rex Lapis template, as long as he grew steadily and allowed the entire Douluo Planet to transform into the Geo Traveler Star, his strength would reach an unimaginable level. By then, whether it was Tang Hao or Tang San, they would all be waiting for death.

But at this current stage, Li Ang also needed a henchman, and this henchman had to be strong enough.

Or rather, it needed to be able to increase its soul power and strength quickly.

Under these circumstances, the characteristics to choose were quite simple.

For this hundred-year-old little black dog, Li Ang could bestow it with two characteristics.

Li Ang only thought about it for a moment before quickly deciding on these two traits.

For defense, Li Ang chose the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

Its bloodline came with the innate ability of Berserk, which was considered a bloodline with very strong defensive capabilities.

As for growth, Li Ang chose a creature known as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, selecting its Devour ability.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could devour soul beasts to become stronger, and Li Ang's little black dog could likewise devour soul beasts in the Spirit Ascension Platform, as well as humans in real life, to grow stronger.

As for why he didn't choose the power of the Silver Dragon King or the Golden Dragon King, or the power of the Dragon God that existed in this world, Li Ang could only answer that he couldn't choose them.

Li Ang could not select the characteristics of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King, or the Golden Dragon King.

The reason was likely that these three creatures were not born in the Douluo World but came from outside, so Li Ang could not select them.

Of course, if he could obtain their true bloodlines later, perhaps he would be able to select their bloodline traits then.
