Chapter 19: The Classification of Martial Soul Tiers, Qian Renxue's "Versailles"
Nuoding City
After seeing the requests from the sisters in the chat group, Xiao Wu decided that, after reading Lin Chen's diary entry for today, she would go find that simp Tang San and ask him about it.
Originally, she had no intention of interacting with Tang San at all, but since the sisters were curious, Xiao Wu could only reluctantly compromise and go gather information from him.
Unlike the relationship between Xiao Wu and Tang San in the original story, after obtaining the diary copy and reading Lin Chen's diary descriptions, Xiao Wu had absolutely no favorable impression of Tang San.
After all, in the chat group, Xiao Wu had mocked Yu Xiaogang quite a bit. And as Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Tang San didn't seem like a good person to her either.
However, just like in the original story, Tang San remained deeply obsessed with Xiao Wu. He had even become Xiao Wu's devoted simp, obeying her every word.
[Speaking of Yu Xiaogang helping Tang San obtain his first soul ring, I can't help but complain about Yu Xiaogang's martial soul theory.]
[Tang San is one of only two living people in this world who possess twin martial souls — Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer.]
[The reason Tang San acknowledged Yu Xiaogang as his teacher was because Yu Xiaogang happened to correctly guess that Tang San possessed twin martial souls.]
[According to Yu Xiaogang's theory, martial souls like Blue Silver Grass rarely produce soul power in soul masters. Since Tang San happened to possess full innate soul power, Yu Xiaogang concluded that Tang San must be a twin martial soul holder.]
[But the truth is not like that. The condition for twin martial souls to be born is that both martial souls must be of similar quality and possess either matching or opposing attributes.]
[Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is not as simple as it appears. His martial soul can actually be considered the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul because he carries the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within him — it just hasn't been awakened yet.]
[Once Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline fully awakens, it will evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul. Strictly speaking, the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul has already surpassed the category of top-tier martial souls and reached the level of a super martial soul.]
[This is because the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul possesses an innate domain. Not only that, it can attack, defend, recover, and control — it's ridiculously powerful.]
[In the current era, martial soul tiers haven't been clearly classified yet, but I think they can be divided into seven levels: low-tier, mid-tier, high-tier, top-tier, super, god-level, and super-god-level.]
[Low-tier martial souls: Blue Silver Grass, farming tools, etc.]
[Mid-tier martial souls: ordinary beasts, offensive weapons, etc.]
[High-tier martial souls: Jade Phosphor Serpent, Hell Spirit Cat, etc.]
[Top-tier martial souls: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Clear Sky Hammer, etc.]
[Super martial souls: Blue Silver Emperor, Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, etc.]
[God-level martial souls: Six-Winged Angel, Sea God, Dragon Kings, etc.]
[Super-god-level martial souls: Dragon God.]
[Each tier also has differences in strength. For example, the Blue Silver Emperor is basically the floor of super martial souls, while the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear is the ceiling of that tier. The Nine Dragon Kings and the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings are worlds apart in strength. The Gold and Silver Dragon Kings could even be considered pseudo-super-god-level martial souls, since they are halves of the Dragon God.]
[However, all of this is based on the condition that the soul master's origin is sufficiently strong. For example, even with the same Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, only those who awaken with high innate soul power can truly be considered to possess a top-tier martial soul. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is the same.]
Chat Group Interface
[Yan Will Come Back: I didn't expect martial souls to have so many tiers. There's actually a super-god-level martial soul above god-level. I can't even imagine how powerful the Dragon God martial soul must be.]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: Same here. I always thought my martial soul was strong, but compared to the ones Lin Chen mentioned, the gap is enormous.]
Star Luo Empire
"So my martial soul is actually this weak?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the martial soul classification written in the diary copy and couldn't help but sigh.
Martial souls in this world truly emerge in endless variety.
Her Hell Spirit Cat was only a high-tier martial soul — the third level — and its strength really seemed somewhat lacking.
She had heard of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul before — the symbolic martial soul of the Spirit Hall — but she didn't know whether she would ever be fortunate enough in this lifetime to witness it.
[My Surname is Not Yu: Then my martial soul should count as a high-tier martial soul.]
[Yan Will Come Back: +1]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: +1]
[A Little Fox: +1]
[Carrot Lover: +1]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: Why did the chain stop? Don't tell me the rest of you all start with top-tier martial souls?]
Heaven Dou City
Seeing the messages in the chat group, Qian Renxue smiled slightly.
"Sigh, sorry about that — my martial soul is god-level."
"If I say it out loud, it might discourage all of you."
Lying on her soft bed and holding the diary copy in her hands, Qian Renxue began to "Versailles."
Of course, she wouldn't actually reveal the tier of her martial soul. Once she said it, Bibi Dong would definitely recognize her.
She still didn't want Bibi Dong to discover her identity.
"However, besides Bibi Dong, there are actually two other people with top-tier martial souls."
Looking at the two silent users — "I Am a Little Princess" and "Cold and Detached Melon-Eating Girl" — Qian Renxue fell into deep thought.
After thinking for quite a while, she still couldn't figure out their identities.
At the current point in the timeline, Ning Rongrong had only just awakened her martial soul, so she naturally wasn't well-known yet.
As for "Cold and Detached Melon-Eating Girl," that one was even harder to guess. There were almost no clues — only three descriptors: "Cold and Detached," "melon-eating," and "girl."
Even if Qian Renxue racked her brain, she couldn't figure out who it was.
[Pope of Spirit Hall: What do you think? This Pope's martial soul is naturally top-tier.]
[I Am a Little Princess: Hehe, my martial soul should also count as top-tier.]
[Cold and Detached Melon-Eating Girl: Definitely.]
[I Have No Mother: Even more definitely.]
Star Luo Empire
"The members of this chat group really are full of hidden experts…"
Zhu Zhuqing originally thought only Bibi Dong, the Pope, possessed a top-tier martial soul. She didn't expect there to be three others.
Top-tier martial souls were no simple matter. Under the condition that a soul master's body origin was sufficient — in other words, awakening with high innate soul power — there was a very high probability of becoming a Titled Douluo in the future.
For Zhu Zhuqing as she was now, Titled Douluo was still far too distant.
After all, the strongest soul master in the Zhu family was only a Soul Douluo, and a Titled Douluo had rarely appeared among them.
Meanwhile, the Dai family — the main family — had a Titled Douluo in every generation. That was why the Zhu family had always remained subordinate to the Dai family.
This was the gap between high-tier martial souls and top-tier martial souls.
Any top-tier martial soul could give rise to a top-level power.
The Upper Three Sects of the Douluo Continent were exactly like this — possessing their own bloodline inheritance and not easily destroyed.
However, after obtaining the diary copy, Zhu Zhuqing felt that in the future, her martial soul might not be unable to become a top-tier martial soul — it might even surpass that level.
This was the confidence the diary copy gave her. As long as she checked in every day, she would definitely become a Titled Douluo in the future — and it might even be possible to set her sights on godhood.
