Douluo: My Customized Achievement System

His spiritual power continued spreading outward, and soon he made contact with the Blue Silver Grass that had not participated in photosynthesis.

"Worship." "Affection." These were the newly conveyed thoughts.

Their favorable feelings were this strong from the start. No wonder group photosynthesis was so easy to accomplish.

Most of this Blue Silver Grass is only ten years old, too weak to possess any real intelligence.

My Blue Silver Grass isn't strong either, but with my extraordinary spiritual power added to it, it seems very strong.

Could this Blue Silver Grass have taken mine for a king?

At that thought, Jiang Yi's eyes lit up.

With a turn of his thoughts, he sent out another mental message.

Submit!

In an instant, all the Blue Silver Grass present bent toward the center in unison, like subjects kneeling before their sovereign.

Almost without hesitation, all the Blue Silver Grass present expressed its submission.

As those thoughts of submission echoed in his mind, Jiang Yi's own Blue Silver Grass glimmered with a barely perceptible blue light.

Jiang Yi's body shuddered. His eyes flew wide, utterly vacant.

The scene before his eyes changed beyond recognition.

A massive, thick plant radiating blue-gold light lived quietly in a deep valley.

The image flashed past. Jiang Yi's eyes regained their focus, and his body went limp. He simply fell onto the grass.

Lying on the grass, Jiang Yi was pale and frowning. That brief instant had nearly depleted his spiritual power.

What on earth was that just now?

The sudden image left him somewhat confused.

The image had appeared amid the Blue Silver Grass's thoughts of submission. Was that the trigger, or only one of the conditions?

Jiang Yi pondered for a while and recovered enough strength to move, but still reached no conclusion.

Aimless speculation was only a waste of time. It would be better to try to find the cause when he could attempt it again.

"It's getting late. Time to go home." He stood up and walked ahead.

Photosynthesis has such a powerful effect. From now on, I'll have to use mimetic cultivation every time I cultivate. Only then can I cultivate as fast as possible.

If it really won't work at the academy, I'll have to apply to attend as a day student. With Uncle She backing me, I should be able to do it.

Walking home, Jiang Yi quietly made his decision.

Chapter 9: Beast Martial Soul Bloodline Second Awakening Theory

After the rest day, Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan returned to Lingshan Junior Academy and their peaceful life of study.

During the first few days back, Jiang Yi set his other training aside and devoted all his attention to refining the Soul Power in his body.

As a result, the refinement went smoothly, and his Soul Power increased somewhat.

Even with the help of group photosynthesis, he still had a long road ahead in cultivating his Soul Power.

Once he had dealt with the Soul Power in his body, Jiang Yi immediately returned to cultivation.

That night, Jiang Yi went to the library once again.

The auntie who managed the library sat at her desk, bored out of her mind. Jiang Yi had come to read every day the previous week, and she had thought she finally had a regular companion for a while.

To her surprise, after one rest day, Jiang Yi had stopped coming altogether.

"Alas, this librarian's job may be easy, but it isn't easy to do!" the library auntie sighed.

"Auntie Chen, what are you saying?" A voice tinged with laughter suddenly rang out.

Hearing it, Auntie Chen's wistful expression immediately changed. She turned, saw who it was, and broke into a smile.

"Little Yi."

"Long time no see, Auntie Chen. I had something to take care of these past couple of days, so I couldn't come and read. Now that it's settled, I'm back," Jiang Yi said with a faint smile.

After spending time together the previous week, Jiang Yi had become familiar with the librarian.

"So you had something to do," Auntie Chen said in sudden understanding.

"Auntie Chen, I've finished these two books. Please help me register their return. I'll go find some others to read." Jiang Yi returned the books he had borrowed earlier.

"All right, go ahead." Auntie Chen gladly accepted the books.

At the bookshelves, Jiang Yi took out the catalog and looked for some useful books.

The two books he had just returned were not the Soul Master basics and Soul Beast illustrated guide he had borrowed at the beginning.

With his spiritual power and the learning ability he had developed through countless exams in his previous life,

he had taken only around three days to commit everything in them to memory.

After all, the knowledge recorded in those two books did not truly encompass all knowledge or every Soul Beast.

How could the library of a small border town possibly have books that precious?

After finishing those two books, Jiang Yi had begun choosing books related to Martial Souls and Soul Tools.

By now, he had finished quite a few.

His gaze swept over the catalog and finally stopped at the very bottom, drawn by a book title.

Compared with the others, the title seemed quite strange.

The ink was very fresh, as though it had not been written there long ago, and even the title itself stood out.

"Beast Martial Soul Bloodline Second Awakening Theory." A few smaller words followed it: "Incomplete."

This book is interesting. Jiang Yi's interest was immediately piqued.

Following the location marked in the catalog, he quickly found the book on the shelf.

Looking at it in his hands, Jiang Yi felt it would be more accurate to call it a notebook than a book.

"Beast Martial Soul Bloodline Second Awakening. Someone on the Douluo Continent actually studied this subject." Jiang Yi was somewhat surprised.

After all, strength had always reigned supreme on the Douluo Continent, and the vast majority of Soul Masters devoted their efforts to cultivation.

Those willing to delve into such knowledge were surely few and far between.

Even among Soul Masters who conducted such research, they were surely ones who would struggle to become Titled Douluo.

The disparity in strength further restricted the development of Martial Soul Theory.

There was a world of difference between low- and high-ranked Soul Masters' understanding of Martial Souls.

Under ordinary circumstances, Titled Douluo were also unwilling to share their understanding of Martial Souls, causing Martial Soul Theory to stagnate even further.

Although Wang Yan of Shrek Academy also studied Martial Souls, he seemed to focus more on the characteristics of different kinds.

He studied the characteristics of different Martial Souls and how they were used in battle.

This book, however, approached the subject from the perspective of Martial Soul bloodlines. It was indeed a refreshing sight.

Full of curiosity, Jiang Yi opened the book. Right at the beginning, it laid out its theory.

"All Beast Martial Souls in the world today, including Plant Martial Souls, have bloodlines that can be traced back to powerful Soul Beasts of ancient or even primordial times."

"In the course of Martial Soul inheritance, the vast majority of descendants inherit only fragments of the original bloodline, or even a degenerated form of it."

"However, this bloodline has not disappeared. It remains within the Soul Master in a 'dormant' or 'recessive' state."

"Martial Soul Awakening is an opportunity to draw out the bloodline hidden within the body. How much of it can be drawn out determines the strength of the Martial Soul and the amount of Innate Soul Power."

"Ten thousand years ago, Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Sect, originally had an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, which ultimately evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor. This proves that powerful bloodlines lie within Martial Souls."

"My research aims to awaken a Martial Soul's bloodline again later in life through other means, prompting the Martial Soul to undergo a Second Evolution."

Jiang Yi frowned slightly at this point. Having read the first three original Douluo novels, he naturally knew why Tang San had been able to evolve his Martial Soul into the Blue Silver Emperor.

It was because he was the child of Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor.

Thus, using Tang San as an example obviously could not prove that powerful bloodlines lay hidden within all Beast Martial Souls.

Still, Jiang Yi did not put the book down. After all, the author had no way of knowing Tang San's origins, so it was natural for him to use Tang San as an example.

Having presented his fundamental theory, the author naturally went on to propose his own method: how could a Soul Master be helped to awaken his Martial Soul bloodline later in life?

Much of the first part of the book described the author's attempts, with numerous alterations throughout.

At first, the author had tried to bring about an awakening with medicine. He had gotten the idea from the legends of Tang San and the others consuming Immortal Herbs.

He therefore believed that Tang San had awakened his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline because of an Immortal Herb.

Others could surely use Immortal Herbs to awaken their bloodlines as well.

Without a doubt, he had failed.

Immortal Herbs were beyond his reach, and ordinary medicinal herbs had little effect.

Moreover, he was no expert in preparing medicinal herbs or refining pills, and could not make full use of their effects.

After that attempt failed, the author did not give up and began a new one.

This time, he started with the Soul Master's body. A Martial Soul and its Soul Master's body were inseparable.

He therefore intended to push the body to its limits, triggering the bloodline's self-protection mechanism and ultimately activating it to complete a Second Awakening.

At this point, Jiang Yi's eyes lit up.

This theory was already very close to the Body Sect's method of achieving a Body Martial Soul's Second Awakening.

Chapter 10: Extreme Pressure Training Method, Who Is Li Lingyu?

In his previous life, Jiang Yi had read the original Douluo III: The Legend of the Dragon King.

Naturally, he knew that Tang Wulin's awakening of his Martial Soul as the Blue Silver Emperor would not have been possible without the help of his master, Mu Ye, the Body Sect's sect master.

Mu Ye had used a cultivation method that pushed Tang Wulin to his limits to help him complete his bloodline awakening.

But Tang Wulin's success had depended on his Golden Dragon King Bloodline, his exceptionally tough body, and Mu Ye preparing medicinal meals for him with highly nourishing ingredients.

If this method were used on a Soul Master from Douluo II, could anyone really endure it?

And even if someone endured it, could they really awaken their bloodline?

After all, Tang Wulin had the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline inherited from Tang San.

With this question in mind, Jiang Yi read on.

Sure enough, this method had failed as well.

After that failure, the author seemed to have stopped his research for a long time.

A large number of pages in the middle had been written on and crossed out repeatedly, then ultimately discarded. Only in the later section did orderly writing appear again.

In that later section, he proposed a new method.

The new method was actually a combination of the first and second methods.

This time, however, the author became more cautious.

Instead of trying to achieve everything in one step, he divided the awakening plan into five stages.

Each stage involved different training to improve physical fitness gradually.

At each stage, he also devised different medicinal meals and purchased different pills, striving to remedy the physical damage caused by high-intensity training.

The author had clearly been very confident when writing these plans, making far fewer revisions than before.

"First stage successful!"

"Second stage successful!"

"Third... successful."

"Without a doubt, I am already on the road to success. My theory is correct!"

The writing was somewhat untidy, and the author was full of excitement.

After the success of each stage, he recorded the changes in the test subject's Martial Soul.
