Martial Soul Evolution Theory: Dragon Transformation Method-The Little Snake's Day to Rise and Become a Dragon!

The Plane Research Institute

After a night of discussion, most of the nation's top scientists still had no clear ideas.

After all, the world where the Planar Pioneer, Huo Si, lived was an entirely new one.

It had a unique power system. Technology wasn't its driving force; instead, it placed greater emphasis on Martial Souls and cultivating one's own strength.

From Huo Si's account, everyone had gained a basic understanding of what the Douluo World was like.

"This is a standard superpower world. Its Martial Soul, Soul Master, and Soul Power systems exceed the limits of ordinary people.

"But they aren't absurdly overpowered, either. Our current technology would be more than enough to sweep through the world. At the same time, its power ceiling is extremely high: reach Level 100, become a god, and you can live forever."

"Based on the limited information provided by the Planar Pioneer, we can basically conclude that Martial Souls in the Douluo World fall into three major categories: Beast Martial Souls, tool-type Martial Souls, and the rare Body Martial Souls.

"The quality of a Martial Soul also determines how strong a Soul Master can become."

"The Planar Pioneer possesses Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls. In that world, he would have been a peerless talent.

"Unfortunately, he crossed over to the Douluo World too late and missed the best time to cultivate in childhood. His Martial Souls are also too low in quality. Our task is to solve his cultivation problems and improve their quality."

After the initial discussion, three plans were quickly settled on.

"My proposal is to cultivate according to the world's existing system. Being small has its advantages, so we should focus on developing poison.

"For Soul Rings, I recommend poisonous Soul Beasts and Soul Beasts that increase movement speed. No matter how strong the enemy is, one drop of poison can bring them down. Greater speed will also improve the poison's hit rate."

[Direction: Poison, attack speed, extreme poison, steady progress.]

[Plan One: Develop along the Douluo World's cultivation system, using the nation's resources to support him until he becomes a god.]

[Risk assessment: Three stars. Lacks a lethal source poison and the ability to break through defenses. He could easily be countered in battle.

"Setting aside scale and talking about quality is like playing word games.

"Based on the useful information provided by the Planar Pioneer, the Martial Soul itself contains too much poison, which could affect his body.

(The Planar Pioneer must not suffer any mishap!)]

"My proposal is to directly modify the Planar Pioneer's Martial Souls.

"Replace his bones with a mechanical frame, replace his skin with the toughest materials, and equip him with external firearms.

"For future Soul Rings, I recommend ones that can enlarge his body and increase his physical strength.

"The upper limit will depend on the power of our technology. The lower limit will still be enough to sweep through every Martial Soul!"

[Direction: Ascension through mecha!]

[Plan Two: Abandon the normal method of cultivating flesh and blood. Play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses—ascension through mecha!]

[Risk assessment: Four stars. The Planar Pioneer's Martial Souls are too small, though they have greater vitality than snakes of similar size.

"Still, the vast difference in size makes them too weak. They may not survive the mecha surgery.]

"My proposal is the Martial Soul Evolution Theory. Based on some of the information provided by the Planar Pioneer, we know that certain Martial Souls can evolve through the awakening of their own bloodlines. They can also evolve by consuming special Immortal Herbs.

"So why not make a Martial Soul's bloodline evolve directly by having it consume a higher-level source of power, allowing the Martial Soul to evolve indirectly?"

[Direction: Break past the limits of the species, absorb a higher-level bloodline to evolve, and ascend through evolution!]

[Plan Three: Break through the limits, evolve the bloodline, and shatter the established system. Since the Martial Soul's host is already mostly set in his ways, let the Martial Soul change the host instead!]

[Risk assessment: Five stars. There are no confirmed cases proving this can be done, so the path forward must be explored step by step.

"Breaking past the limits of a species comes with enormous risks. The consequences of bloodline evolution failing are unknown.

"Evolution would be no different from forcibly changing the Martial Soul and reshaping the bones. It could bring excruciating pain and dramatic changes..."]

After further rigorous discussion, the final plan was chosen.

Plan One was the first to be rejected. For one thing, the Douluo World already had a powerful snake-type Martial Soul user who used poison, and he was a Level 90 Titled Douluo.

Yet he was the weakest among the Titled Douluo. Aside from poisoning those weaker than himself, he'd achieved almost nothing—and there was also the risk of poisoning himself.

The risks outweighed the rewards, so the plan was rejected first.

Plan Two was next.

They had mastered the technology for replacing bones and skin, but recovery would take a long time—even several years. The potential rewards were considerable, but so were the risks.

In the end, it was rejected outright due to the materials required and numerous unstable factors, including whether he could adapt to the world and whether his body would reject the modifications afterward.

The third plan was the only one left—the last surviving spark.

After it was refined and approved through several layers of review, the plan was given a name and sent to Huo Si.

[Martial Soul Evolution Theory: Dragon Transformation Method!]

Looking at the plan, which was based solely on what he had told them—

In the original story, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor after his bloodline awakened.

Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda after she consumed an Immortal Herb.

Now they had overhauled the entire established system for Martial Souls, all the way down to a complete final path of evolution.

Golden light flashed in Huo Si's eyes.

"Is this the power of a national organization?"

"Fourteen hundred million people, and just a dozen or so picked from one in a hundred million. They saw straight through the nature of Martial Souls and overturned the fixed system that had defined them for life after awakening."

"Martial Soul Evolution Theory! Dragon Transformation Method! Hahaha! Even a little snake gets its day to rise up and become a dragon!"

[Evolution Path: Little Snake < Big Snake < Python < Anaconda < Flood Dragon... Five-Clawed Divine Dragon!]

Staring at the evolution path, Huo Si swallowed again and again, his heart deeply shaken.

[Soul Ring path currently unavailable: All Soul Beast data must be collected before suitable Soul Rings can be selected. Every Soul Ring is crucial!]

[Reason for recommendation: Risks are manageable. If there are any adverse effects, the process can be halted and adjusted in time.]

[Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's herb garden. The Immortal Herb Aromatic Silk Beauty must be obtained. This is an Immortal Herb capable of evolving a Martial Soul and the most crucial link in the Planar Pioneer's Martial Soul undergoing a leap across species and evolving its bloodline!]

Looking at the final note, highlighted in red—

He had only mentioned in passing that an Immortal Herb could completely transform a Martial Soul. He hadn't expected those top scientists to work it into the Martial Soul Evolution Theory: Dragon Transformation Method.

The power of the national organization hit Huo Si like a tidal wave.

He couldn't believe that in just one night, the institute had come up with the best path for his Martial Souls, right down to the steps of evolution and the key items he needed.

They hadn't rushed to select Soul Rings for him. Instead, they planned to wait until he returned to the Douluo World.

Only after he gathered enough information about Soul Beasts would they choose the right Soul Rings. Since every stage of his Martial Soul's evolution depended on this, their caution was clear.

"Even though this path will be difficult, and comes with enormous risks, as long as I can endure it—

"To everyone who mocked me, everyone who laughed at me... I'll prove that I, Huo Si, was only looked down on for a time. I won't be looked down on for the rest of my life!"

"It's just a little pain. Let's do this!!!"

Lowering his head, Huo Si looked at the little snake he had summoned in his hand. It was about the size of his thumb, gazing around with wide, curious eyes.

"I'll become a Dragon Tamer famous in both worlds, and you'll become the guardian dragon of my Dragon Kingdom!"
