In the blink of an eye, Su Cheng had been in Martial Soul City for more than ten days, becoming familiar with many elders of the Martial Soul Hall.
Especially Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, who often came to him to learn medicine. Su Cheng was happy to maintain a good relationship, sharing many of his research findings without reservation.
As a 94-level Title Douluo, Yue Guan's understanding of martial souls was already very deep. This was Su Cheng's shortcoming, so the exchange gave him considerable insight.
It was worth noting that the two strongest in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, were only level 92.
As for Bibi Dong, after their conversation that day, he had not seen her again.
But this was to be expected.
Bibi Dong, as the new Pope, had shallow roots in the Martial Soul Hall and was naturally extremely busy.
This worked perfectly for Su Cheng.
That woman's thoughts were extreme, her strength formidable, and her mindset unusual. If he hadn't known about her psychological flaw regarding Yu Xiaogang, he would have had great difficulty finding a breakthrough.
Recently, Su Cheng had almost entirely immersed himself in the library.
He could not help but notice the vast difference in resources between factions.
Here, almost everywhere were records that were hard to find in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect: ten-thousand-year soul beast species, top-tier martial soul classifications, martial soul development methods, and self-created soul skill techniques.
Unfortunately, although the library contained materials on 封号斗罗 across the continent, it did not include the seven major enshrined members of the Offering Hall.
Su Cheng recalled that among the Seven Enshrined Elders, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo had coiling dragon rods containing a Chaotic Dragon and a Heaven-awakened Sacred Gold Dragon, respectively.
Undoubtedly, any expert capable of achieving level 95 or above Super Douluo without external help had their own unique strengths.
Entering the Offering Hall was no small feat.
Su Cheng extended his right hand, and with a flash of light, a cracked longsword appeared in his palm, with two soul rings—one yellow, one purple—glowing with a gentle aura.
"Sealing beasts within an artifact-type martial soul can enhance combat power and expand tactical options. It's a good idea, but how is it done? Could there be side effects, like weakening the purity of the artifact martial soul in certain aspects?" he pondered internally.
"Whether the Haotian Hammer or Seven Kill Sword, both reach extreme perfection as top-tier artifact martial souls. But it seems no one with these martial souls has ever added a 'beast' attribute. Is it impossible, or have they simply chosen not to?"
Su Cheng's previous research had focused more on the human body; his understanding of martial souls was limited. After all, his talent points were focused on medicine.
If he had chosen "true scholar" as his starting talent, perhaps it would have suited research better.
"Artifact martial souls, beast martial souls…" Su Cheng's expression grew thoughtful.
Martial souls held deep mysteries. Even after centuries of development on Douluo Continent, the relationship between soul beasts and humans was not simple.
A soul beast ten thousand years old could take human form and even be sacrificed to humans.
The beast transformation state of a possessed beast martial soul, and the personality influences of different inherited martial souls, were all worth examining.
What Yu Xiaogang called the core competitiveness of his martial soul was barely scratching the surface.
Su Cheng looked at his Broken Sword Martial Soul.
Though still unsightly and full of cracks, under the enhancement of a millennial soul ring, its durability had become very high.
"My innate soul power is only 0.5-level, a malignant mutation caused by attribute conflict. But the second millennial soul ring has improved me far more than I initially expected. Perhaps…"
Over the years, Su Cheng's understanding of martial soul essence was still limited, but he understood his own situation.
"I can try to continuously use soul rings to add extreme attributes to my martial soul. Perhaps I can improve or even reverse this situation."
Whether it would succeed, he had no certainty.
Changing a martial soul after awakening is extremely difficult unless, like Tang San, one awakens bloodline potential with the help of the Blue Silver King, or consumes a divine herb compatible with the martial soul.
Divine herbs could be considered later, perhaps with the Martial Soul Hall's support, searching in Sunset Forest, making it easier to plan after returning to reality.
"Impressive. I had heard Mr. Su, despite only having 0.5-level innate soul power, had walked a path beyond ordinary imagination. Seeing it today is truly extraordinary."
While Su Cheng was pondering martial soul matters, a clear, pleasant female voice came from behind. Previously, the library had been empty; he had been alone studying various records.
Su Cheng turned to see a girl with bright eyes, white teeth, golden hair, and snow-white skin, standing not far behind him, hands clasped behind her back, looking at the two-ring martial soul in his hands with interest.
Though young, her extraordinary beauty was evident even at a glance.
Perhaps due to martial soul reasons, Qian Renxue appeared to be thirteen or fourteen years old, though her actual age was just over nine.
"It's nothing," Su Cheng did not retract his martial soul but continued in response to her words. "It's merely that most people are ignorant, which makes me appear different."
His words made Qian Renxue pause slightly.
So unmodest?
She had not come here specifically to find Su Cheng.
Currently, the Martial Soul Hall was mainly divided into two factions: the Pope's faction led by Bibi Dong, and the Enshrined faction led by Qian Daoliu.
Qian Renxue had been cold toward her mother, Bibi Dong, since childhood. In Martial Soul City, she either stayed in the Offering Hall or the library.
These past days, with Bibi Dong's permission, she returned to Martial Soul City. Though she had heard about Su Cheng joining the Martial Soul Hall and preparing to take disciples, she had not paid it much attention, nor considered apprenticeship.
Her visit to the library today was habitual, merely to check some materials.
In contrast, Su Cheng had long expected to encounter Qian Renxue here.
"Heh, Mr. Su is quite humorous." With this move, turning guest into host, he left Qian Renxue momentarily at a loss for words.
"I'm not joking with a little girl who understands nothing," Su Cheng said, glancing at her.
"A cultivation failure with only 0.5-level innate soul power can still find ways to surpass so-called time limits. For hundreds of years, Douluo Continent has treated soul ring absorption limits as truth—what a waste."
His words struck at her heart, and the fact that they were true made them inescapable.
Being called "little girl" only added to her embarrassment; even with Qian Renxue's composure, she struggled to maintain her calm.
She did not know whether Su Cheng understood her identity as the former Pope's daughter or her strength—likely he did not. Even if he did, how could she respond?
He had already acknowledged himself as a cultivation failure; how could she argue?
At the end, it seemed better to be a 0.5-level innate soul power failure than a 20-level innate soul power genius.
Biting her teeth in her heart, she forced a smile and said, "Mr. Su's words are reasonable."
