Innate Domain

"Because of His Majesty Tang Zhen, the ' Heaven-Shaking Douluo '!"

"Tang Xiao is fifteen years older than Tang Hao. The strength of His Majesty Tang Zhen and his wife when they conceived their eldest son, Tang Xiao, was fifteen years less than their strength when they conceived Tang Hao!"

The sonorous, powerful and confident words echoed in the huge space of Room 403, making everyone in the classroom look at the speaker. 🔥🍮 💥💚

It's Yu Xiaogang!

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, everyone began to consider the rationality of his answer.

After a little thought, everyone had to admit that Yu Xiaogang's remarks were quite persuasive.

As his thoughts raced, a series of surprised glances fell upon Yu Xiaogang, greatly exciting him as he struggled to suppress the smirk from his lips.

"Very good~"

Ling Yi also cast an approving glance at Yu Xiaogang, nodded with a light laugh, and scanned the crowd below, saying, "Xiaogang is right. The biggest difference between the two brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, is that when they were conceived, their parents, His Majesty Zhentian and his wife, were not of the same strength."

"However," Eryue Xuan raised his hand and asked, "City Lord, if we follow this logic, as the younger sister of the ' Clear Sky Twin Stars,' Princess Tang Yuehua of the Clear Sky Sect, the youngest daughter of His Majesty Tang Zhen, shouldn't her talent be comparable to Tang Hao's, even if it's not higher?"

"According to rumors, this third young lady of the Tang Family had extremely low talent. She almost couldn't even become Soul Master. It was only thanks to the Clear Sky Sect's search across the continent that they found a precious medicine to cleanse her marrow and bones, which allowed her to barely break through to the One-Ring Soul Master realm..."

"Yes, I've heard that too. It's said that during the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, when her Soul Power was tested, her Innate Soul Power was barely enough for cultivation, and she ultimately stopped at level nine, unable to break through for many years..." Shang Wenqing added, "In addition, her Martial Soul seems to be a useless Martial Soul, completely powerless, unable to fight or provide support..."

Eryue Xuan and Shang Wenqing shared the information they had gathered. While the others were unfazed, Yu Xiaogang felt quite uncomfortable listening to them.

Although the two people were indeed talking about Tang Yuehua, he felt that every word they said was grating, as if they were talking about him.

As a result, the joy that had just emerged when he spoke and answered was instantly extinguished.

Suppressing his discomfort, Yu Xiaogang raised his head to look at Ling Yi on the podium, waiting for his answer.

He also wanted to know what kind of situation Tang Yuehua, whose situation was almost exactly the same as his, was in Ling Yi's eyes.

At the same time, a glimmer of hope, which Yu Xiaogang himself was unaware of, emerged deep within his heart.

Hoping that with Ling Yi's wisdom, could he possibly find a way to resolve the constraints caused by the innate malignant mutation of his and Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul?

Under Yu Xiaogang's eager gaze, Ling Yi waited until Eryue Xuan Yuexuan and Shang Wenqing finished speaking, then nodded to the two of them before looking around at the crowd below and saying:

"Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul is a simple malignant mutation, a purely useless Martial Soul."

"But!"

"However, I believe that Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul, in a sense, is of higher quality than Tang Hao's ' Clear Sky Hammer ' Martial Soul!"

"What?!" *N

As soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, the crowd below the stage erupted in uproar, all looking on in astonishment.

The most emotional of them all, Yu Xiaogang, blurted out, "This is impossible—!"

However, it was precisely because of Yu Xiaogang's rebuttal that the others, contrary to their previous disbelief, began to frown Ling Yi's words.

Without giving everyone much time to think, Ling Yi chuckled and glanced at everyone, finally looking at Yu Xiaogang, whose brows were furrowed into a deep frown, and said to everyone, "Many people don't know, so I'll explain it to you here."

"Although Tang Yuehua's Soul Power has stopped at level nine and has not made any progress for several years, it does not mean that she has no strength at all."

"Domain, an extremely rare power within the Martial Soul system."

"Generally speaking, it can only occur when Soul Master reaches the Titled Douluo level and obtains their ninth Soul Skill."

"According to the data I found in the Spirit Hall's Archive Tower, only about one-tenth of the Titled Douluo recorded over thousands of years have had domain-type Soul Skill."

"This Soul Skill is truly a top-tier Soul Skill! It's extremely rare!"

"Aside from the chance to obtain it when Soul Master advances to the Titled Douluo realm, it is generally only possible for Martial Soul to appear in the form of a talent when its quality reaches an extremely high level."

"The Innate Domain evolves as one's strength increases. For example, my ' Blue Silver Domain ' can expand its reach and influence more ' Blue Silver Grass ' as my mental power increases."

"The effects of each domain are different, but what they have in common is that within their own domain, the Soul Master's own strength will be amplified, while the opponent's strength will be suppressed."

"The increase and decrease will naturally have a huge impact on the outcome of the battle."

"In addition, different fields also have different special effects. If used well, they can often produce effects far exceeding the strength level of the Soul Master."

"Let's take my ' Blue Silver Domain ' as an example. As a Healing System Soul Master, although I don't have much combat power, my healing abilities receive a considerable boost within the domain. The more ' Blue Silver Grass ' I have, the stronger the life force I can mobilize."

"To be frank, even though I'm only a Six-Ring Soul Emperor, when it comes to healing, some Soul Saint on the Douluo Continent are inferior to me..."

"So~" Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at the eloquent Ling Yi, and subconsciously asked, "Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul comes with a domain—?!"

"Excellent!" Ling Yi met Yu Xiaogang's gaze, nodded slightly, and affirmed, "Although Tang Yuehua's Soul Power is limited, her Martial Soul possesses Innate Domain, and her spiritual power is far stronger than that of ordinary Soul Master of the same level!"

"If I'm not mistaken, when Tang Yuehua Martial Soul Awakening, the quality of her original Martial Soul should have surpassed that of Tang Hao."

"But unfortunately, because the quality was too high, Tang Yuehua was still young at the Shi Nian, and due to some unknown reasons, she was unable to bear the nurturing and formation of such a high-quality Martial Soul. In the end, when the Martial Soul Awakening, due to insufficient power, the Martial Soul Origin was damaged, which led to the so-called malignant mutation..."

"Hmm..." Ling Yi paused, looking thoughtful, before continuing, "To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, it's like some pregnant women who overdo it with nutritional supplements, experiencing 'difficult labor due to a large fetus' during childbirth."

"A large fetus causing dystocia? What's that?"

Upon hearing the new term, Yu Xiaogang asked instinctively.

Just then, Liu Hao and Ni Xing exchanged a glance, and the latter turned to Yu Xiaogang and replied, "It's because the fetus is too large, making it difficult for the mother to deliver him during childbirth. This could lead to the baby suffocating inside the mother, and the mother dying from severe bleeding..."

As the two with the lowest social standing in the ' Martial Soul Research Institute ', they had heard of, and even witnessed, such human tragedies.

"Is that so?" Yu Xiaogang frowned upon hearing this, opened his mouth to ask something else, but seeing that the other party's expression was not right, as if he had recalled some unpleasant memory, he stopped speaking.

Born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang was surrounded by almost everyone he encountered from a young age who was Soul Master.

For Soul Master, the situation of overnutrition is rare.

Furthermore, this is a world with supernatural powers. Even if a situation of "excessive fetal size" occurs, as long as a sufficiently powerful Healing System Soul Master is found, a cesarean section can be performed, ensuring the safety of both mother and child.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while not possessing every type of powerful Healing System Soul Master, does have a number of them.

But these things are far removed from ordinary people and are not something they can access.

"So, I..."

Yu Xiaogang looked up at Ling Yi on the podium and murmured softly, "Tang Yuehua was originally supposed to awaken Martial Soul that surpassed the ' Clear Sky Hammer,' but due to insufficient foundation, her Martial Soul was ultimately 'difficult to produce.' Not only did her Martial Soul mutate into a useless Martial Soul, but her Innate Soul Power was also reduced as a result..."

The sound grew fainter and fainter until it was barely audible. At that moment, Yu Xiaogang was not thinking about Tang Yuehua, but about himself.

If Ling Yi's theory holds true, does that mean that Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul also underwent a malignant mutation for similar reasons?

So, Yu Xiaogang originally had the opportunity to become a prodigy like Tang Hao, or even surpass Tang Hao?!

At that moment, a strong sense of urgency suddenly welled up in Yu Xiaogang's heart.

He wanted to go home, he wanted to return to the Jade Dragon Mountain Range, to his family, to tell his father, Yu Yuanzhen, his second uncle Yu Luomian, and everyone in the family.

He, Yu Xiaogang, could have been a prodigy!

A prodigy whose Martial Soul surpasses even the "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon"!

Just then, Ling Yi on the podium did not stop the lesson because of Yu Xiaogang's mutterings, and continued, "Alright, let's get back to the main topic."

"We just discussed the reasons for the difference in talent between the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao. Now, let's talk about the differences in Innate Soul Power among the Tang Family members who are also of the Tang Family [Clear Sky Sect] bloodline and whose other Martial Soul are also the ' Clear Sky Hammer '."

"The ' Clear Sky Hammer ' is hailed as the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world, renowned for its unparalleled strength and ultimate power among Tool Martial Soul."

"So, have you ever heard of a Tang Family member Martial Soul is the ' Clear Sky Hammer,' but Innate Soul Power is only level three, two, or even only level one?"

As Ling Yi finished speaking, his bright eyes swept across the entire audience, awaiting their response.

"Do such Tang Family members really exist?" Ni Xing asked Liu Hao in a low voice, emerging from her unpleasant childhood memories.

Upon hearing this, Liu Hao shrugged and said, "How would I know? I didn't have time to pay attention to these things when I was begging on the streets. Since I came here, I'm basically either in the library or in the research institute."

After saying that, he turned to look at Eryue Xuan on the other side. "Brother Xuan, you often go to the Commerce Bureau, have you heard any related news?"

"No~" Eryue Xuan shook his head decisively and said, "At most, people only talk about who has what level of strength and how strong their Soul Skill are, but they don't really pay attention to how much Innate Soul Power have."

"The reason we learned about the third young lady of the Tang Family before was because of her special circumstances. She's the youngest daughter of Zhentian and the younger sister of the ' Clear Sky Twin Stars,' which is why everyone was paying more attention... Wenqing, do you have any related information?"

When asked, Shang Wenqing shook his head and replied, "No, I only ever pay attention to the famous ones, but with their strength, their Innate Soul Power is basically at level four or five or above, and below level three..."

Although he didn't finish his sentence, judging from his tone and expression, he clearly hadn't heard of it before.

The crowd whispered amongst themselves, but ultimately failed to share any useful information. They could only raise their heads and look expectantly at Ling Yi, waiting for his explanation.

This includes Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang was unsure whether any members of the Tang Family in the Clear Sky Sect truly possessed the "Clear Sky Hammer" Martial Soul but had Innate Soul Power of only level three or even lower.

It should be noted that within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, anyone Martial Soul Awakening is the "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon" has Innate Soul Power of no less than six.

As a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the power of "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon" is beyond doubt!

As for whether the Yu Family has any members with Innate Soul Power below level three?

The answer is, of course, yes.

However, as far as Yu Xiaogang knew, all members of the Yu Family whose Innate Soul Power was below level six could not have their Martial Soul called "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon". They could only be considered a mutation or a degenerate variety of the "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon" Martial Soul.

Among these mutated/degenerated Martial Soul are the "Blue Lightning Velociraptor," the "Purple Lightning Dreadclaw Dragon," and even the "One-Horned Electric Python"...

However, the "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon" is, after all, Beast Martial Soul, which is somewhat different from Tool Martial Soul like the "Clear Sky Hammer".

Seeing the eager looks in everyone's eyes, Ling Yi nodded and gave a definite answer, "Yes, the Tang Family does indeed have such a member."

"Yes, it really exists!"

"I didn't expect that."

"So even the world's number one Tool Martial Soul can have such a situation..."

The crowd immediately began to whisper among themselves, their eyes gleaming with a gossipy light.

Without letting the conversation continue, Ling Yi spoke again, saying, "You may not know why I brought this up."

"But have you ever considered that, taking the ' Clear Sky Hammer ' as an example, and applying the theory of ' Martial Soul Organ Hypothesis,' could those ' Clear Sky Hammer ' with Innate Soul Power below level three, like our body organs, be strengthened through some kind of training or stimulation, until they can be comparable in quality to those ' Clear Sky Hammer ' Martial Soul with Innate Soul Power at level eight, nine, or even Innate Full Soul Power?"

"Think about it, even an ordinary person without Soul Power, as long as they get enough nutrition, if they persist in running for many years, their cardiopulmonary function will inevitably be strengthened to a certain extent."

"What if it were Soul Master instead?"

"With the nourishment of Soul Power, and by cultivating body-tempering methods, will his tendons, bones, skin, muscles, and internal organs become even stronger?"

Hearing Ling Yi's words, everyone nodded silently. They had all practiced the Basic Body Tempering Technique. Although most of them had not mastered all twelve forms to perfection like Ni Xing, they had all dabbled in it, only focusing more on the bird and beast forms that suited them best.

In addition, they also practiced several forms from "Beast Martial Soul: Xingyi Fist Style I", and they deeply experienced the feeling of their bodies gradually becoming stronger.

Eryue Xuan, Ni Xing, and the others were focused on Ling Yi's extension of the "Martial Soul Organ Hypothesis Theory," but Yu Xiaogang was so excited that he was almost trembling all over, his eyes fixed on Ling Yi, waiting for his next words.
