Chapter 16 Travels
"Phew—that's enough training for today. There's nothing left in the academy to help me get stronger. Endless hard training will at most make him a Soul King in six years. I need to go out more and try my luck."
Li Luochen made up his mind to go out and try his luck.
Li Luochen first went to find his grandfather, Li Yusong. Li Yusong is getting younger and younger. Although his hair has turned gray and he has a lot more white hair, he is still full of energy.
"Grandpa, I plan to travel around the continent. I've almost finished my cultivation, so it would be nice to go out and see the continent."
Looking at his only grandson, Li Yusong sighed with emotion. His grandson had been confused and lost when he was a child, but a fall made him better, and after awakening his martial spirit, he soared to great heights.
Now, the Dragon Pattern Staff, a family heirloom martial soul, is gradually beginning to evolve in Li Luochen's hands. Li Luochen's Dragon Pattern Staff is stronger than Li Yusong's and is considered a top-grade martial soul.
If he evolves again, he could potentially reach the level of a top-tier martial soul. If that's really the case, Li Luochen will definitely become a titled Douluo in the future. His grandson has the potential to be a titled Douluo!
"Okay, go ahead. Just be careful. Xiao Chen, you've always been smart, you should know how to avoid being preyed upon by the strong. Grandpa will be waiting for you to come back safely at home."
Li Yusong looked at his grandson Li Luochen with a smile. Although he was very reluctant to part with him, he knew that his grandson was no ordinary person and would definitely make his way in the world one day after Li Luochen awakened his martial spirit.
After bidding farewell to his grandfather, Li Luochen went to Flander's place, where Flander was his principal. Since Li Luochen displayed his talent, Flander had been providing him with a lot of help, including soul hunting, sparring, medicinal baths, whale glue, and cultivation resources.
It can be said that Li Luochen has the best cultivation resources among all the Shrek Academy students in history. Except for not having enjoyed the mimicry cultivation, Li Luochen's other cultivation resources are not lacking at all.
Li Luochen sensed that Flander's spending on him might even exceed that on the main battle team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Fortunately, Li Luochen lived up to expectations and earned a lot of face for him.
Flander can be said to be the first benefactor Li Luochen has encountered since he came into this world. Flander certainly has his flaws, and quite a few at that, but he is a good person, very tactful in his dealings with others, and very strong. He will probably be able to break through to the Soul Douluo level in about three years.
Why is the Barak Kingdom so powerful? Because they have two Soul Douluos protecting them. Even if Title Douluos don't appear, their Soul Douluos are the best.
After all, Title Douluos weren't commonplace at this time. The Spirit Hall only had four Title Douluos on the surface, the three upper sects all had Title Douluos, the Star Luo Empire's royal retainers also had Title Douluos, and the Heaven Dou Empire had Dugu Bo as a retainer. After that, there weren't any more; these are the currently active Title Douluos.
Flander's status was greatly elevated after becoming a Soul Douluo, and both empires and even the Spirit Hall would try to win him over.
Li Luochen arrived outside Flander's office. At that moment, eight-year-old Oscar and six-year-old Ma Hongjun were sparring, exchanging blows left and right.
Oscar is a food-type Soul Master, not very strong in combat, but he has the heart of a battle Soul Master. Li Luochen knows that Oscar's talent is very strong, second only to the three gods. If he didn't give up, he would probably be even better than Tang San before he was awakened.
Oscar had always dreamed of becoming a Soul Master and wanted to fight, but reality dealt him a heavy blow. Food-type Soul Masters were only supportive, meaning they would have to hide behind Soul Masters for the rest of their lives. This frustrated him and caused him to lose interest in cultivation.
Li Luochen pointed out to him, "Support-type characters can never have combat power unless they possess a soul bone. However, food-type characters might be different from ordinary support-type characters. Oscar, you have a food-type talent with innate full soul power, which might not prevent you from gaining combat power. From what I know about two soul beasts, one of which is a Silver Elite Beast, it has the ability to imprint, which might allow you to imprint the attack power of others."
There is also a Mirror Beast, which can replicate other people's abilities. These two soul beasts may give you combat power, but it is best if these two soul beasts are your fifth or sixth soul ring.
A ten-thousand-year spirit ring is the real game-changer. Your first four rings are primarily supportive, giving you both combat and support capabilities, making you a true all-rounder. Of course, from now on, you'll need to train alongside Hong Jun to build a solid foundation as a battle spirit master.
The above is Li Luochen's arrangement for Oscar. The Shrek teachers didn't say anything. Now that Li Luochen's knowledge of martial souls has surpassed theirs, it's not a big deal for him to teach Oscar and Ma Hongjun.
Oscar's first spirit ring was a spirit ring that could absorb spirit rings beyond the limit of 500 years. Flander once gave Oscar a hundred-year whale glue to improve his physique so that he could absorb spirit rings beyond the limit.
Why not use the Thousand-Year Whale Elixir? Oscar's cultivation level isn't high enough; he's a food-type cultivator, and the Thousand-Year Whale Elixir is easily difficult to digest, potentially causing him to become consumed by lust. However, even after using the Hundred-Year Whale Elixir, Oscar underwent a dramatic transformation.
Oscar's second spirit ring can absorb at least an 800-year-old spirit ring, and the benefits of absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit are enormous for his body.
Ma Hongjun's current soul power is level 12, and his first soul ring is decent but close to the limit. He cannot consume whale glue at the moment, as whale glue has a certain aphrodisiac effect, and if he consumes it again, it could easily cause problems.
Li Luochen didn't want Ma Hongjun to become a prostitute. He thought, "You're full of energy, huh? Find a secluded place and exhaust your soul power until you're completely drained. Let's see if you're still full of energy then."
When Ma Hongjun fell, Oscar carried him back. This was also a kind of training for Oscar, well, weight training.
The soul beast that absorbed the phoenix bloodline also brought many benefits to Ma Hongjun. The phoenix bloodline stabilized, and at least before reaching the third ring, it would not cause him to explode and die.
He's just a little too energetic, but it's not a big problem; he can just burn it off. Li Luochen has high hopes for Ma Hongjun.
A top-tier fire-attribute beast spirit, once it stabilizes and reaches the ultimate fire, will become a super super spirit. Such talent cannot be left at the bottom of the Shrek Seven Devils.
The Shrek Seven Devils still need to be formed. Tang San's rise is an inevitable trend, and there are gods manipulating things behind the scenes. Tang San is destined to be a chosen one who sneaked in and will surely become a god.
However, while the general trend cannot be changed, minor trends can be altered. It's not impossible to intercept some of his key opportunities. Even if he finds other opportunities, they may not be as good as the ones he truly deserves.
Moreover, even if the Shrek Seven Devils were formed, they wouldn't be under the control of Yu Xiaogang; at least Oscar and Ma Hongjun would be under Li Luochen's control.
Li Luochen didn't believe that Tang San, who had been tricked by Yu Xiaogang, a great soul master, into cultivating the Poisonous Blue Silver Grass through a different path, could compare to Ma Hongjun, whom he had personally trained.
