Organizing Intelligence and Gains (Subject to Revision, Survival Instinct at Maximum!)

Xiao Wujiu left a coordinate here to ensure that the next time he came to Douluo Continent, he would not be randomly teleported to some strange place.

As a golden, illusory doorway slowly appeared before him, he pushed open the gate spanning two worlds. Though he could teleport directly, the process of crossing over like this was also a wonderfully strange experience.

As he stepped into the Crossing Gate, the sight before him became illusory and kaleidoscopic. Then, after his body passed through the void, when he emerged from the dreamlike scene before his eyes, he was already standing in his own courtyard.

Looking at the familiar furnishings, he let out a long breath. "I'm home."

He pushed open the door and watched the blazing sun cast warm rays across the sky, silently estimating the time in his heart.

"This trip to Douluo Continent took quite a while. The clan's coming-of-age ceremony should be about to begin. I missed that part of the plot before the ceremony's assessment, but it doesn't really matter."

He came to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, beginning to consider what he had gained from this trip to Douluo Continent.

"Setting aside the items for now, I've gathered nearly enough information on Douluo Continent's combat power."

He took out a pot of tea from his Storage Ring, slowly boiled it with Battle Qi, and poured himself a cup of clear tea.

"The power system of Douluo Continent is not easy to assign an average standard to, since it depends on Martial Souls and talent. But through Tang San and the others' combat performances, I can roughly work backward to match the realms."

"Soul Elders and below should correspond to the Dou Qi realm. Soul Ancestors correspond to Dou Zhe, Soul Kings to Dou Masters, Soul Emperors to Da Dou Shi, Soul Saints to Dou Ling, Soul Douluos to Dou Wang, and Title Douluos to the Dou Emperor realm."

Xiao Wujiu recalled his experiences on Douluo Continent and made estimates based on his own perceptions. Equating the power systems of two worlds was not easy, so he could only make guesses based on his subjective feelings.

Perhaps aside from comparing their upper limits of power and the characteristics of their systems, combat power rankings were inherently subjective.

This point was the most important!

Both the Dou Qi and Soul Elder realms were significant bottlenecks. The Dou Qi stage in Battle Through the Heavens also possessed respectable combat power, while a Soul King's Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring was a dividing line, and a Soul Saint's Martial Soul Avatar was a major breakthrough.

"But realms are one thing. In terms of combat power, the power system of Battle Through the Heavens is definitely stronger than that of Douluo Continent. Whether cultivation techniques or combat techniques, Douluo Continent is practically a wasteland. Its balanced yet unique system is formed around Spirit Rings and its mechanisms."

Xiao Wujiu shook his head. As for why the gap between high-level combatants on Douluo Continent was so vast—

Based on his understanding of Douluo Continent's world setting, he guessed that Soul Masters might lack a method for forming Soul Cores.

A Dou Wang could already draw upon the power of heaven and earth, and it was at that point that the difference in combat power became enormous.

Even if they perfected Soul Cores later on, their combat power would only draw closer to that of a Dou Wang, which did fit the pattern of the corresponding earlier realms having lower combat power.

"At the end of the day, Douluo Continent is still a world. Whether Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts or Title Douluos, they are all extraordinarily gifted beings of that world. Soul Masters lack the method of forming Soul Cores, so Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are far stronger than Soul Masters of the same realm. That gap is even greater than the difference between humans and magical beasts on the Douqi Continent."

"Other than rabbits and grasses, every creature that reaches the level of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is a super Soul Beast. They are either immensely powerful or exceptionally strong in one particular aspect. Translated to the Douqi Continent, they would be geniuses whose combat power far exceeds that of others at the same level."

"The Soul Master system still needs improvement, and such gifted Soul Beasts also exist. Together, these factors create such a vast gap in combat power. But even so, a Soul Beast's true combat power is still lower than its true combat power, such as the Titan Giant Ape."

Xiao Wujiu continuously combined the characteristics of both worlds and carried out the most reasonable and accurate analysis he could. If his speculation was correct, then by working backward, the God Realm's combat power might be around the Dou Zong realm?

"Looking at it this way, Douluo Continent can support my steady progress to the Dou Zong realm, perhaps even help me advance toward Dou Zun?"

Xiao Wujiu was quite satisfied with this conclusion. Douluo Continent's greatest aid to him was not merely the many resources it possessed as a world. What he valued even more were its practically heaven-defying soul skills.

Refining alone was enough to make countless alchemists yearn for it.

"Besides the Immortal Herbs I brought back this time, there's also some Ice and Fire Spring Water, Dugu Bo's poison, a Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch that can store living things, and several sets of Awakening Stones for Martial Soul awakening."

Xiao Wujiu took out six jet-black Awakening Stones. He wanted to test whether people in this world could also awaken Martial Souls.

But he was not in a hurry to find anyone to test it on. Instead, he took out the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch hanging at his waist and removed a Soft Bone Rabbit from Douluo Continent. Once it woke up, it immediately began kicking and hopping about in his hand.

"The Crossing Gate can allow living beings other than me to pass through, which means taking people across the two worlds is possible. Next, I need to test whether Douluo Continent's rules become fixed."

As he spoke, he directly killed the Soft Bone Rabbit with a burst of Battle Qi. As expected, no yellow hundred-year Spirit Ring appeared. With practiced ease, he skinned and butchered the rabbit, and sure enough, found a Magic Core in its brain!

"A hundred-year Soul Beast can produce a first-tier Magic Core. There's no difference in energy fluctuations either, only the level is a little lower. If I establish a force in the future, then Douluo Continent may be the perfect place to produce Soul Cores!"

Xiao Wujiu was overjoyed. This discovery would be incredibly useful in the future, and an audacious idea even sprang into his mind—opening a breeding farm on Douluo Continent!

"But I can't be hasty. My top priority now is to raise my strength as quickly as possible and digest the gains from this trip to Douluo Continent."

Xiao Wujiu quickly cleared away the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind and returned to the main path he had always pursued. Setting down his teacup, he rose to his feet and prepared to visit the Mittal Auction House.

The Mittal Auction House, in a private room on the top floor.

Ya Fei leaned lazily against a chair, a trace of worry on her face as she muttered to herself.

"That little bastard disappeared for months without even telling me where he went. How annoying!"

"What? Sister Ya Fei missed me?"

At that moment, a bright voice with a teasing edge rang out from outside the window.

When she turned her head, she saw Xiao Wujiu's handsome face, his eyes curved in a smiling gaze as he looked at her.

The glimmering light in those spirited phoenix eyes made Ya Fei's cheeks flush red. She lightly bit her lip, then spoke irritably.

"You little bastard, you came to see me without even knocking!"
