Chapter 9 Yu Xiaogang's Breakdown
Speaking of Yu Xiaogang, after his thesis caused a small stir in the Spirit Hall, it was quickly disseminated throughout the continent via the Spirit Newspaper, causing a stir in the Spirit Master world within days.
Many Spirit Masters with short-lived lineages learned for the first time that the upper limit of Spirit Rings was so closely related to physical attributes.
Many Spirit Masters who had cultivated for years to reach level ten, who had hastily absorbed their first Spirit Ring after ten years of cultivation, were filled with regret.
According to the thesis, although they were commoner Spirit Masters, they could fully withstand a hundred-year Spirit Ring. If they had known this earlier, they would have sold everything they owned to find someone to help them hunt for Spirit Rings.
Notting Academy.
Yu Xiaogang, hiding in the small town, had lofty ambitions.
He consistently subscribed to the Spirit Newspaper, studying the cutting-edge Spirit theories published by the Spirit Hall.
Today, he picked up the newspaper from the gatekeeper, ignoring the disdainful looks from passersby, maintaining a zombie-like expression, and steadily returned to his dormitory filled with books.
Yu Xiaogang sat down at his desk, unfolding the newspaper in the sunlight streaming through the window. Under the golden light, a line of large characters stood out prominently:
"Shocking!" "
The Limit of a Soul Master's First Soul Ring Age is Actually Wrong!"
-- Grandmaster
Yu Xiaogang was taken aback, then scoffed, "Ridiculous, just sensationalism."
But a slight unease crept into his heart. If it were truly sensationalism, the Spirit Hall wouldn't have allowed it to be printed and sold in newspapers.
He skimmed through the text:
"Through observation of Beast Souls and Weapon Souls, the former significantly increases physical strength.
Historically, those who broke through the upper limit of soul ring age were mostly Beast Soul Masters.
The only difference between the two lies in physical attributes, which is sufficient evidence."
"Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, from a prestigious family, awakened half a level of innate soul power, yet was able to absorb two hundred-year soul rings.
This is undoubtedly related to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's medicinal baths, which enhance physical strength."
"Historically, the upper limit of a soul master's soul ring age has been constantly increasing.
Even with soul masters continuously producing offspring, providing better resources generation after generation, and the increasing spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the basic qualities of soul masters have been strengthened.
The optimal soul ring configuration for a soul master will also continuously change."
As the evidence was laid out, especially with the prominent mention of a certain master, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened, and he slammed his hand on the table.
"You brat, how dare you use me to gain fame!"
Yu Xiaogang was furious. He immediately saw through Gula's sinister intentions.
After all, he still had some reputation among commoner soul masters, whether good or bad, at least he was remembered.
Yu Xiaogang crumpled the newspaper, venting his anger, then, panting heavily, gradually calmed down.
He unfolded the newspaper again and saw the author's name.
"Da Mu, who is that? Most likely a code name.
Hmph, not daring to show his real name, he must be a despicable coward."
Yu Xiaogang spoke contemptuously, but inwardly he felt a little panicked.
This single article had negated one of his ten core theories of soul masters and even subtly criticized the others.
Yu Xiaogang, fearing his theories would be dismissed as worthless again, reaffirmed his resolve: "It's just a paper, I can write one too.
I originally wanted to find a disciple to prove my theories, but now it seems I must make my voice heard."
He found paper and ink, pondered for a moment, and wrote down the title: "On the Research of 647 Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters and the Development Path of Plant-Type Soul Masters.
" "Hmph, I'm afraid no one but me would research the useless martial soul Blue Silver Grass. Some training methods need time to verify; who knows if what you say is true or false?
Only research targeting specific martial soul paths can have an immediate impact on soul masters."
Yu Xiaogang smiled smugly, inspiration flowing like a spring, his pen moving with divine inspiration.
"Blue Silver Grass is inherently weak; if one wants to become a battle soul master, the best path is to add a poison attribute soul ring and follow the control path..." "
Similarly, plant-type soul masters have weak attack power, which can also be compensated for by adding a poison attribute soul ring, and most control-type soul masters can refer to this principle...
Groudon was unaware of the psychological damage the paper had caused Yu Xiaogang.
A month after its publication, the system finally settled the rewards for the first paper.
[Deduction complete.
Tens of thousands of people have read the host's paper, which will influence hundreds of thousands of new trainers, with far-reaching impact
. Congratulations to the host for making their voice heard in the research community. Overall rating: S.]
[Rewards received: Points +1000, Legendary Pokémon Equipment Ticket *1, Legendary Pokémon Skill Ticket *1.]
Groudon couldn't help but rub its hands together, excited yet apprehensive.
"A thousand points, enough for ten draws, or five Ditto draws. Which one should I choose?"
Groudon had looked at the prize pool. After the game became a system, the prize pool was all-encompassing; anything could be drawn. With good luck, one could even draw Arceus on the first try.
Of course, even if it became reality, whether Arceus would obey was another matter.
So, to be on the safe side, it was safer and more stable to directly purchase items with points, although it was more expensive overall, at least it didn't require relying on luck.
As for the Ditto in the system, it's different from the one in the official game.
It's not really a Pokémon at all; instead, it's more like a crafting material that can be used to change the nature and individual values (IVs) of a Pokémon.
When exchanging for a Ditto, its nature and IVs are randomized, but the total IVs will not be lower than 90, which guarantees a minimum.
Groudon opened its God-level Appraisal Eye and looked at the spirit in the mirror.
[Groudon: Level 13]
[Type: Ground]
[Potential: God-level]
[IVs: HP 18, Attack 29, Defense 15, Special Attack 20, Special Defense 16, Speed 21. Total 119.]
[Nature: Careful (-10% Special Attack, +10% Special Defense)]
[Moves: Bulk Up, Scary Face, Dig...]
[Evaluation: One of the three legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn region, it can wield the power of the Earth Lord by growing steadily.]
Pokémon have base stats and IVs, which determine the attributes of a Pokémon as it grows.
According to Gula's speculation, in the context of Douluo Continent, martial souls can be viewed as various Pokémon.
Even with the same martial soul, different talents exist, representing varying individual values (IVs).
This isn't just about soul power; specifically, it's about all-around physical talent, including cell activity, muscle strength and development potential, bone hardness, skin toughness and resistance, and many other aspects.
Most importantly, IVs are reflected in martial souls, meaning Su Ming can't change his martial soul, but he can use Ditto to change the talents of his subordinate soul masters,making them the best among those with the same martial soul.
"Even with my talent, I only have 119 IVs, far from the maximum of 186.
At best, I'm just average. Hmm, average among Groudon's."
Gula certainly wouldn't want to improve his talent. In the game, the main team needs to have IVs at gold, meaning over 150.
He wants to try that in reality too.
Groudon clasped his hands together: "Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Buddha, bless me with incredible luck, may I strike it rich in one go!"
Since he didn't need points elsewhere for the time being, Groudon went all in, spending all 1000 points.
A dazzling light appeared before him, and five Dittos with different background colors jumped out.
