Chapter 254: Selecting Teammates; The Interesting but Decorative Flower Stamen Bird Martial Soul
[Not long after, the cleaned two-story small building looked brand new.]
["It really has been a long time since I've worked like this."]
[Bibi Dong said with some emotion as she looked at the room she had cleaned.]
[The last time she had worked like today was before her Martial Soul Awakening.]
[Back then, she was an orphan; if she didn't work, she would go hungry.]
[Then, at the age of six, through the hands of Spirit Hall members, she awakened Twin Martial Souls with Innate Full Soul Power and immediately became the Disciple of Pope Qian Xunji.]
[Since then, Bibi Dong had always been pampered by everyone.]
["Indeed, it's been a long time for me as well."]
[Yu Xiaogang said with a look of emotion upon hearing her words.]
[When was the last time he had worked like this? At the very least, as the son of a Titled Douluo, such tasks would never fall to him.]
["Alright, alright. Since the cleaning is done, go wash up and then get some rest."]
[Waving his hand, Yu Xiaogang walked into the small building and headed to the first-floor bathroom to wash off the dust.]
[Bibi Dong watched Yu Xiaogang's figure enter the first-floor bathroom. Seeing him start to undress before the door was even closed, her face couldn't help but flush red as she rushed up to the second floor.]
[Soon, a refreshed Yu Xiaogang came into the living room after his shower.]
[Leaning lazily on the sofa, Yu Xiaogang took out the list of Spirit Hall Academy students that Bibi Dong had brought him.]
[Since the second team had been established and they had a training ground, the next step was naturally to recruit members for it.]
[On this point, Bibi Dong had thought further ahead than Yu Xiaogang.]
[According to Yu Xiaogang's initial idea, he was planning to print some flyers and distribute them to wait for people to join.]
[But at the same time the second team was successfully established, Bibi Dong had used the Pope's token to obtain the student list from the principal of Spirit Hall Academy.]
[This wasn't just a simple list; it recorded the students' Martial Soul details and the status of their Soul Rings and Martial Soul Abilities in great detail.]
[It could be said that by browsing these materials, Yu Xiaogang could easily investigate the information of the current Spirit Hall Academy students inside and out.]
[With this list, Yu Xiaogang could assemble the team with ease.]
[It could only be said that Bibi Dong's weight in Spirit Hall as the Pope's Disciple and future Holy Maiden was far too authoritative.]
[Picking up the materials, Yu Xiaogang began to flip through them one by one.]
[Name: Zhang San, Martial Soul: Cheetah, Level 35 Agility Attack System Spirit Master, First Soul Skill...]
[Name: Li Si, Martial Soul: Unicorneal Blue Bull, Level 37 attack system Soul Master, First Soul Skill...]
[...]
[Name: Xu Xiaoxing, Martial Soul: Flower Stamen Bird, Level 35 Support System Spirit Master, First Soul Skill...]
["Flower Stamen Bird?"]
[Yu Xiaogang pulled out the data of this Soul Master named Xu Xiaoxing and looked at it carefully. If he remembered correctly, the Flower Stamen Bird Soul Beast...]
["Name: Xu Xiaoxing, Martial Soul: Flower Stamen Bird, Level 35 Support System Spirit Master"]
["First Soul Skill: Marigold. Effect: Causes a Marigold to bloom and disperse floral fragrance. Soul Masters who inhale the fragrance receive a slight speed boost based on their own speed; the user also receives an equal speed boost."]
["Second soul skill: Sunflower. Effect: Causes a Sunflower to bloom and disperse floral fragrance. Soul Masters who inhale the fragrance receive a slight Soul Power boost based on their total Soul Power; the user also receives an equal Soul Power boost."]
["Third Soul Skill: Crystal Light Grass. Effect: Causes Crystal Light Grass to grow. After activating the ability, it illuminates Soul Masters with crystal light. Those illuminated can clear their abnormal statuses and gain a small mental boost based on their mental state; the user also receives an equal mental boost."]
[Looking at this Soul Master named Xu Xiaoxing, especially her Flower Stamen Bird Martial Soul, Yu Xiaogang thought to himself, 'As expected.']
[The Flower Stamen Bird is very special among Soul Beasts because it is a half-animal, half-plant creature.]
[Whenever a Flower Stamen Bird uses Soul Power, a plant grows on its head.]
[Most of the time it's a flower, but occasionally it might be a weed. No one knows what will grow on a Flower Stamen Bird's head next.]
[However, this uncertainty improved significantly after it became a Martial Soul.]
[Because once a Soul Master chooses to add Soul Rings from plant-type Soul Beasts, the Flower Stamen Bird will only grow plants corresponding to the Soul Rings when using Martial Soul Abilities.]
[It could only be said that this was a very interesting Martial Soul.]
[Of course, it was only interesting.]
[On the Douluo Continent, where strength is revered, being merely interesting without strength means falling into the lower tiers.]
[As a Soul Beast, even if a Flower Stamen Bird reaches the Ten Thousand Year level, it still has no combat power.]
[When Soul Masters often say that certain Thousand Year Soul Beasts are enough to kill a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, they are talking about creatures like the Flower Stamen Bird.]
[Among Soul Beasts, the Flower Stamen Bird is a target of daily bullying. As a Martial Soul, the Flower Stamen Bird is equally useless.]
[This could be seen from the Flower Stamen Bird's several Martial Soul Abilities.]
[The First Soul Skill disperses fragrance to give teammates a slight speed boost based on their own attributes, while the user also gains a corresponding boost.]
[At first glance, it seems quite good—able to support teammates while also strengthening oneself.]
[Able to support and fight; wouldn't such a comprehensive Martial Soul be Heaven-Defying?]
[Unfortunately, comprehensive mechanics did not bring Heaven-Defying strength, but rather abysmal stats.]
[The fact that a Ten Thousand Year version could be bullied by a Thousand Year Soul Beast already spoke volumes about the Flower Stamen Bird's strength.]
[Therefore, as a Martial Soul, although the Flower Stamen Bird is considered a Beast Martial Soul, the physical enhancement from Martial Soul Possession is almost non-existent.]
[Under these circumstances, how much of a boost can a Flower Stamen Bird—which relies on its own attributes to buff teammates and itself—actually provide?]
[Furthermore, because the Soul Ring's support capabilities take up all the potential, the Flower Stamen Bird has absolutely no active offensive capability.]
[It was stuck in a dead end from both sides.]
[It was bad at supporting and bad at fighting, which made Soul Masters with the Flower Stamen Bird Martial Soul hold a status similar to the bird itself in the Soul Beast Forest.]
[They were both mere decorative existences.]
[However, after carefully reading the information of this Soul Master with the Flower Stamen Bird Martial Soul, Yu Xiaogang had some ideas.]
[He began to quickly flip through the student files.]
[While Yu Xiaogang was searching, Bibi Dong finally finished washing up and came down from the second floor.]
[As soon as she came downstairs, Bibi Dong saw Yu Xiaogang quickly searching through the student files.]
[This made her a bit curious.]
[This method of searching for a specific target suggested he already had a candidate in mind and was now looking for suitable teammates.]
[So, what kind of Soul Master could catch Yu Xiaogang's eye?]
[Bibi Dong walked forward, picked up the materials set aside, and then froze.]
["Flower Stamen Bird? What can this Martial Soul even do?"]
[Question marks rose over Bibi Dong's head.]
[Forgive her, she had thought of countless Martial Souls, but she never expected this one.]
[It was at this moment that Yu Xiaogang, who was flipping through the files, had his eyes light up.]
["Found it! I didn't expect there to actually be one!"]
