Man-Made Soul Sage, Fatui

In the original work, Tang Wulin's first soul spirit was a defective Little Grass Snake.

In the end, the Golden Dragon King bloodline within that guy even surpassed the indomitable soul spirit Overlord Dragon!

Although this was also because the Golden Dragon King bloodline within Tang Wulin was overbearing.

But one thing is certain:

Soul spirits that are defective and lack soul beast genes have their growth potential maxed out.

If Tang Wulin's martial soul were not Blue Silver Grass, but some kind of snake-type martial soul.

That Little Grass Snake would have become Tang Wulin's life-bound soul spirit.

Or at least, it would have developed in the direction of a life-bound soul spirit.

If the martial soul were a Datura Snake.

When the grass snake soul spirit provided the first soul ring, it would have acquired a trace of the soul beast genes from the Datura Snake martial soul.

In the future, when it ascended to the century level and provided the second soul ring, the compatibility between the soul spirit and the martial soul would increase.

By the time it finally reached the millennium level, the Little Grass Snake could have evolved into a Datura Snake.

However, this is only theoretical, or rather, an ideal state.

After all, beast martial souls are not soul beasts, and even if they contain soul beast genes, there are very few.

Or rather, it is very difficult for a soul spirit to extract genes from a martial soul.

But the test subjects in Mu Han's hands who underwent "Beast Soul Weaponization" are different.

Today, their martial souls have all been transformed from beast martial souls into tool martial souls.

Yet, these tool martial souls retain a trace of very pure soul beast genes derived from the original beast martial souls.

For example, if a person's martial soul was originally a Wind Tiger and has now become a bone blade named Tiger Soul Blade.

The first three soul rings are all provided by the first soul spirit.

The fourth soul ring requires a second soul spirit.

By choosing a defective soul spirit made from an ordinary tiger-type animal.

The soul spirit, while providing the fourth soul ring, will also acquire a trace of soul beast genes from the Tiger Soul Blade.

Therefore, the compatibility with the Tiger Soul Blade is maxed out.

The second soul spirit directly mutates into a Wind Tiger, and with one hundred percent compatibility with the Tiger Soul Blade, it becomes a life-bound soul spirit.

The next step is to go to the Spirit Ascension Platform and improve through slaughter.

The energy in the Spirit Ascension Platform does not come from thin air.

To maintain the Spirit Ascension Platform, the Spirit Pagoda also has to bear significant costs.

But conversely, one could actually use the Spirit Ascension Platform to perform empowerment on soul masters.

The growth of a soul spirit can naturally feed back into the soul master.

Moreover, the higher the compatibility, the higher the ratio of feedback.

The compatibility of a life-bound soul spirit is one hundred percent, so the ratio of feedback can be imagined.

This will not be a case of forcing growth by pulling on the seedlings.

Even if it were, it would be forcing the growth of the soul spirit.

The soul master's improvement comes from the feedback of the soul spirit, and since it is feedback from a life-bound soul spirit, there will be no side effects.

So, when these test subjects appeared before the world again two years later, everyone was shocked.

Three purple and four black, a seven-ring Soul Saint?

Three years ago, these soul masters were still stuck at level 29, waste two-ring Soul Grand Masters with exhausted potential.

In just three short years, they were actually cultivated to this level?

The status of a Soul Saint is basically equivalent to the chief administrator of a second-tier city.

And they are seven-ring Soul Saints who possess four ten-thousand-year soul rings!

Even an elite like Wu Zhangkong, who came from Shrek Academy, only reached the ten-thousand-year level starting from his fifth soul ring.

As for these test subjects of Mu Han, they were at the ten-thousand-year level starting from their fourth soul ring.

Two years ago, Mu Han became famous under the "praise-to-kill" strategy of Qiangu Dongfeng, standing on equal footing with Tang San and Huo Yuhao.

But today, he no longer needs such praise.

He is truly qualified to stand on equal footing with Tang San and Huo Yuhao.

Even Shrek Academy does not have the confidence to cultivate every disciple into a Soul Saint!

Even among those graduates of the outer court, many are only five-ring Soul Kings.

Even among the inner court graduates, many are only six-ring Soul Emperors.

After all, the graduation requirement for the outer court is to be a one-word Battle Armor Master, and the graduation requirement for the inner court is to be a two-word Battle Armor Master.

None of this required the cultivation of a seven-ring Soul Saint.

Yet Mu Han had not only achieved the creation of an artificial Soul Saint, he had done so in a mere three years!

Regardless of the costs involved, it was, after all, an artificial Soul Saint!

In an instant, the soul master world was thrown into a massive upheaval.

Countless people swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.

Countless messages flooded into the hands of Mu Han and Mu Chen.

Between the lines, these messages pressured the father and son to hand over the technology for Beast Soul Weaponization.

During the latest Federal Council meeting, several councilors were even arranged to stir up trouble, proposing that Mu Han surrender the technology.

They did not want to offend Mu Han—or, to be precise, they did not want to offend the Mu Chen behind him, or even the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua.

Thus, they made an issue of it at the Federal Council, using the momentum of the masses to force Mu Han to submit.

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

Because after preparing for so many years, Mu Han no longer relied on them.

He directly announced the formation of a faction named Fatui, which also had the support of three top-tier powerhouses.

They were the former Deputy Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu.

And the former War Gods of the War God Temple, the Emperor Sword Douluo Long Tianwu and the Divine Sword Douluo Su Mengjun.

Furthermore, their strength had all undergone a qualitative leap.

The Heavenly Phoenix Douluo was originally a demigod-level Three-Word Battle Armor Master.

Now, she had broken through to the quasi-god level.

The Emperor Sword Douluo and the Divine Sword Douluo had also achieved the demigod level.

Coupled with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their strength even surpassed that of ordinary quasi-gods.

However, as this couple were both Three-Word Battle Armor Masters, they were roughly on par with the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.

The couple could likely defeat Leng Yaozhu, but only by a slight margin.

Their defection naturally incited the dissatisfaction of their former employers.

The previous Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, the War Heaven Douluo Qiangu Dieting, stepped out to fight, only to be miserably defeated by Leng Yaozhu.

It was said that Leng Yaozhu's Heavenly Phoenix martial soul had also transformed into a fiery red long spear.

Phoenix wings were spread out across the shaft of the spear.

At the tip of the spear was a flaming phoenix in mid-flight, its sharp beak glinting with a heart-stopping cold light.

This was undoubtedly the technology of Beast Soul Weaponization as well.

Leng Yaozhu's Heavenly Phoenix martial soul was already a top-tier martial soul that did not lose to the Coiling Dragon Staff.

Now that her martial soul had undergone a second awakening, its power had naturally climbed to a higher level.

Only then could she easily defeat Qiangu Dieting.

As for the two defecting former War Gods, the current Hall Master of the War God Temple, Chen Xinjie, also took action.

The Emperor Sword Douluo and the Divine Sword Douluo had both reached the demigod level.

Theoretically, Limit Douluo could not unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Or rather, once unleashed, they might have to pay with their lives.

Because a Limit Douluo's Martial Soul Fusion Skill crossed the boundary between the mortal and the divine.

But the Emperor Sword Douluo and the Divine Sword Douluo had brought out a third sword.

It seemed to be the Emperor God Sword?

Having forged an Emperor God Sword in advance, the two of them completed a three-in-one Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Although Chen Xinjie was not miserably defeated, he ultimately lost to the couple.

Perhaps the couple had shown mercy?

However, the only thing that was certain was that the strength of all three of them had undergone a qualitative leap after joining the Fatui.

The root of all this was that technology of Beast Soul Weaponization!
