Douluo: Divine Tree Martial Soul, Gangzi Told Me to Go Control

Transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, Zhou Tao awakens a divine martial soul: the Ancient Tree of Life.

As long as he keeps leveling up, he can unlock the Goddess of Life's inheritance.

Yet Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang tells him:

"Tree-type martial souls are trash. Your only option is the control path, using venomous snake-type Spirit Rings to make up for your shortcomings."

Zhou Tao bursts out laughing and raises his hand, unleashing Divine Tree Impalement.

No Spirit Rings. No soul skills!

A thick notebook of theories is shredded by razor-sharp branches.

"Does Ancient Tree Impalement count as an attack?"

"Does Ancient Tree Prison count as control?"

"Since a tree martial soul can already do all of that, isn't giving it a Binding Spirit Ring like taking off your pants just to fart?"

"With sufficiently powerful life force, a divine tree martial soul can combine control, offense, defense, support, and healing into one-a true all-rounder with no weaknesses."

"Do you still call that a trash martial soul?"

Yu Xiaogang flushes crimson, flicks his sleeves, and storms off.

But Zhou Tao's true goal has never been to win petty arguments with a useless soul master.

The Blue Silver Emperor's Seed of Life and Spirit Bone still lie in a dark mountain cave near Holy Soul Village, waiting for the one truly destined to claim them.

While Tang San has yet to awaken his martial soul, while Tang Hao is still drowning his sorrows in drink...

Zhou Tao begins his unstoppable rise...
