Martial Soul Evolution Theory, Even a Small Snake Has Its Day to Transform into a Dragon!

Chapter 4: The Theory of Martial Soul Evolution, Even a Little Snake Can Turn into a Dragon!

Plane Research Institute

After a night of discussion among the nation's top scientists, most remained without a clear direction.

After all, the world where Plane Pioneer Huo Si resided was entirely new.

This world possessed a unique power system that did not prioritize technology, focusing instead on the cultivation of Martial Souls and one's own internal power.

From Huo Si's own accounts, everyone had gained a basic understanding of what kind of world the Douluo World truly was.

"This is a standard super-powered world. Although its systems of Martial Souls, Spirit Masters, and Spirit Power transcend the scope of ordinary people, they are not so extreme that our existing technological power couldn't flatten them. At the same time, the world has a very high ceiling; reaching the hundredth level and becoming a god grants eternal life."

"According to the limited information provided by the Plane Pioneer, we can basically conclude that Martial Souls in the Douluo World are divided into three major categories: Beast Martial Souls, Tool Martial Souls, and the rare Body Martial Souls. The quality and strength of a Martial Soul determine the strength of the Spirit Master."

"The Plane Pioneer possesses innate full Spirit Power and even twin Martial Souls, making his talent top-tier in that world. However, he transmigrated to the Douluo World too late, missing the optimal period for childhood cultivation. Since his Martial Soul quality is too low, what we need to do is solve his cultivation bottleneck and improve his Martial Soul's quality."

After the initial discussion, three proposals were finalized.

"I propose we cultivate according to the original world's system. Small size has its advantages; we should focus on developing toxins. Recommended Spirit Rings: highly venomous Spirit Beasts and those that increase movement speed. No matter how strong the enemy is, in the face of absolute toxin, one drop will take them down, and increased speed will ensure the toxin hits its mark."

[Direction: Poison, Attack Speed, Ultimate Poison, Steady Progress.]

[Proposal 1: Develop according to the standard Douluo World cultivation system, using national resources to pile up power until godhood.]

[Risk Assessment: Three Stars. Lacks lethal source toxins and armor-piercing capabilities; highly likely to be countered in battle. Setting aside size, discussing quality is just hooliganism. According to the useful information provided by the Plane Pioneer, the Martial Soul itself contains too many toxins, which is highly likely to affect the host body. (The Plane Pioneer must not suffer any mishaps!)]

"I propose we directly modify the Plane Pioneer's Martial Soul. Replace the skeleton with mecha, replace the Martial Soul's skin with the toughest materials, and equip it with external thermal weapons. For subsequent Spirit Rings, I recommend those that can increase body size and physical strength. The upper limit depends on our technological power, and the lower limit will absolutely be able to sweep away all other Martial Souls!"

[Direction: Mecha Ascension!]

[Proposal 2: Abandon the normal flesh-and-blood cultivation method, play to our strengths and avoid weaknesses, Mecha Ascension!]

[Risk Assessment: Four Stars. The Plane Pioneer's Martial Soul is too small. Although its vitality is stronger than snakes of the same size, it is still too weak compared to those with massive size differences. During the mecha surgery, it is highly likely that the Martial Soul will die from being unable to withstand the process.]

"I propose the Theory of Martial Soul Evolution. According to some information provided by the Plane Pioneer, some Martial Souls can evolve by relying on the awakening of their own bloodlines, or by consuming special immortal herbs. So, why can't we rely on consuming higher-level power sources to directly stimulate the evolution of the Martial Soul's bloodline, allowing the Martial Soul to evolve indirectly?"

[Direction: Break through species limits, absorb higher-level bloodlines for evolution, evolve and ascend!]

[Proposal 3: Break through limits, bloodline evolution, break the inherent system. Since the Martial Soul host is already basically set, let the Martial Soul change the host!]

[Risk Assessment: Five Stars. No confirmed implementable cases; requires exploring the path step by step. Breaking through species limits comes with great risks, and the consequences of failed bloodline evolution are unknown. Species evolution is no different from forcibly changing the Martial Soul and reshaping bones; it may be accompanied by intense pain and drastic changes...]

Ultimately, after rigorous discussion, a plan was finalized.

Proposal 1 was the first to be abandoned. For one, the Douluo World already had a powerhouse with a snake-type Martial Soul who played with poison, and he was a level 90 Titled Douluo. Yet, he turned out to be the weakest among the Titled Douluos; aside from being able to poison those weaker than him, he had almost no achievements and even carried the risk of poisoning himself. The risk and reward were not proportional, so it was discarded first.

Next was Proposal 2. Although the technology for replacing bones and skin had been mastered, the subsequent recovery would take a long time, even several years. While the returns were considerable, it was accompanied by huge risks. Finally, due to materials, the ability to adapt to that world, and subsequent compatibility and rejection issues, it was directly abandoned.

The third was the only remaining spark.

After final refinements, the plan was named, passed through layers of approval, and delivered into the hands of Huo Si.

[Martial Soul Evolution Theory: Dragon Transformation Method!]

Looking at the proposal, it was based solely on his own descriptions.

In the original work, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor due to his bloodline awakening.

Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda swallowed immortal herbs and evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Yet, this had overhauled the entire inherent system of Martial Souls and had already been perfected into a final evolutionary path.

Golden light flashed violently in Huo Si's eyes.

Is this the power of a national organization?

Out of fourteen billion people, a dozen individuals selected from one in a hundred million have seen through the essence of Martial Souls and overturned the fixed system that has lasted a lifetime since the dawn of Martial Soul awakening.

Martial Soul Evolution Theory! Dragon Transformation Method!! Hahaha, even a little snake has a day to turn over and become a dragon!!!

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

Staring at that evolutionary path, Huo Si swallowed hard, his heart deeply shaken.

[Spirit Ring path currently unavailable: Requires all spirit beast data to be supplemented to select compatible spirit rings; every single spirit ring is of vital importance!]

[Recommendation Reason: Controllable risk; if any discomfort occurs, it can be interrupted in time for adjustments.]

[Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's herb garden, the immortal herb Tulip must be obtained. This is an immortal herb capable of evolving Martial Souls and is the most important link for the plane pioneer's Martial Soul to achieve cross-species transition and bloodline evolution!]

He looked at the last line marked in red font.

He hadn't expected that just by mentioning offhandedly that there were immortal herbs capable of completely transforming a Martial Soul, those top-tier scientists would actually incorporate immortal herbs into the Martial Soul Evolution Theory: Dragon Transformation Method.

The power of the national organization struck Huo Si hard.

He hadn't expected that in just one night, the research institute would provide the most suitable direction for his Martial Soul, detailed down to the evolutionary steps and key items.

They were not in a rush to select spirit rings for him, but instead wanted to wait until he returned to the Douluo World.

They would only select the spirit rings after gathering sufficient spirit beast data—this concerned every step of the Martial Soul's evolution and reflected their rigor.

Although this path is difficult and even accompanied by immense risk, as long as I can endure it!

Those who mocked me, those who ridiculed me... I will prove to you that I, Huo Si, was only looked down upon for a moment, not for a lifetime!!

It's just a bit of pain—let's do it!!!

Lowering his head, Huo Si looked at the little snake he had summoned into his hand. It was the size of a thumb, its large eyes blinking as it looked around curiously.

"I will become a Dragon Tamer renowned across two worlds, and you will become the guardian dragon of my Dragon Kingdom!"
