Chen Ming already had a concept for the materials of the dragon spear. The Fifteen Ton Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo had previously gifted him an eighty-thousand-year horn from a Great Tyrant Dragon; that horn contained a portion of the essence blood belonging to its Golden Bloodline.
Using the Great Tyrant Dragon's horn as the core, Chen Ming could slowly fuse and transform it into himself using thods similar to how he had once refined the Land Dragon Golden lon. In the end, it would beco a dragon spear belonging solely to him.
At present, Chen Ming also possessed a silver dragon scale. If that scale could be embedded into the dragon spear, it would greatly strengthen the weapon further.
However, Chen Ming still planned to first inspect the Rainbow Dragon skeleton left behind within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then further study the bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Through deeper research, he hoped to make his "Companion Dragon Spear Project" smoother and more powerful.
Furthermore, regarding the technique of refining external objects into a Martial Soul, Chen Ming needed so... voluntary Spirit Masters to conduct experints first.
And in this regard, who could possibly be more suitable than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
There had already been examples of external objects being refined into tool-type Martial Souls to strengthen them. In Soul Land 2, Ji Juechen had fused a teorite iron longsword into his own Martial Soul, strengthening it considerably.
This proved that although the path was difficult and demanded extrely high talent from the Spirit Master, it was ultimately a viable road.
If a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could be forged using the sa materials as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, then theoretically, Spirit Masters with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul could also attempt to raise their upper limits through this thod of fusion. It just so happened that Chen Ming could test this idea as well.
If he could transform the dragon spear into his second Martial Soul, then that would be ideal.
This was not impossible. In Soul Land 3, when the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena was acting as "Na'er," she used the Silver Dragon Spear as the Martial Soul for that identity. The Silver Dragon Spear itself was capable of acquiring Spirit Rings.
It was just that given Gu Yuena's true nature, she did not need the enhancent of so-called twin Martial Souls. The Silver Dragon Spear alone was already sufficient.
But if Chen Ming could find a way to additionally transform the dragon spear into his own tool-type Martial Soul...
Then the number of thods available to him would beco almost limitless.
Theoretically, the reason million-year Spirit Beasts could provide a Martial Soul prototype during sacrifice was because they possessed a trace of the extrely rare power of creation, allowing them to break through limitations.
But speaking of the power of creation...
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well contained enormous untapped potential.
Even if he could not achieve acquired twin Martial Souls, for Martial Souls approaching the level of Dragon Kings, the dragon spear alone could massively enhance one's overall capabilities even without being directly used in combat.
And not only would the dragon spear not burden the Martial Soul itself, it could even bear part of the burden caused by the Martial Soul. It was all benefits with virtually no drawbacks.
If possible, Chen Ming could even continue modifying the dragon spear through research, making it far more than just a simple spear.
In short, although Spirit Hall still possessed many materials and records Chen Ming had yet to see, due to diminishing returns, what he needed most now was no longer collecting information, but conducting experints—turning his theories into real and reliable data, then using that data to strengthen himself.
...
After returning to his residence within Spirit Hall and resting briefly, Chen Ming once again sought out Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others, demonstrating the thod by which he transford his Martial Soul into the "Coiling Dragon Staff."
Upon witnessing this scene, both Fifteen Ton Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo opened their mouths wide, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Even the other Titled Douluo remained silent for a long ti.
The core of Beast Soul Toolization was for a beast-type Martial Soul to display the characteristics of a tool-type Martial Soul. But Chen Ming's transformation completely lacked any trace of a beast-type Martial Soul and displayed only the traits of a tool-type Martial Soul.
There had never been such a precedent in the history of Spirit Hall, nor even in the history of the Spirit Master world itself. Rather than "Tool Soul Bestialization" or Beast Soul Toolization, what Chen Ming had achieved was closer to a complete "state switch."
It was just that Chen Ming currently could not maintain his Martial Soul in staff form for extended periods of ti, nor had he truly used it in actual combat yet. Because of that, no one could clearly determine just how great the potential of this ability really was.
...
Chen Ming had originally planned to wait until Dugu Bo erged from seclusion before returning together to Heaven Dou Emperial Academy and then making contact with the various sects for experintation. But since Dugu Bo had yet to co out, Chen Ming decided to use the ti to carry out so experints within his current capabilities first.
"Senior Uncles, Senior Uncles, I want to study the structure of ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts," Chen Ming said while acting spoiled toward the worship elders.
"Alright, alright. Ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts? We'll just go catch so." the Fourth Worship, the Lion Douluo, patted his chest. Beside him, the Fifth Worship, the Glowing Feather Douluo, also nodded in agreent.
"It's best to catch different species. Their age doesn't need to be too high, but there should be a wide variety. Ideally sub-dragon types, or those with Phoenix bloodlines or Lion-Tiger bloodlines."
"Fine. We'll just bring more people to carry them back." Lion Douluo still sounded completely unconcerned.
Although the worship elders usually looked like shut-in old n, their ability to act was actually extrely high.
The mont they agreed to Chen Ming's request, the two worship elders imdiately gathered forces within Spirit Hall and led a group of Spirit Douluo, Spirit Saints, and even several Titled Douluo-level elders straight into the Star Dou Forest.
Since capturing Spirit Beasts would still take ti, Chen Ming relaxed slightly for the mont.
He cultivated in the mornings, refined pills with Qian Daoliu at noon, read books in the afternoons, and in the evenings headed to the Consecration hall to discuss cultivation experiences and insights into Martial Souls with the worship elders.
Although Chen Ming's understanding was based more on accumulated experience and deduction rather than personal experience, his way of thinking and breadth of vision were both correct and extraordinarily advanced.
Even the Super Douluo-level elders could gain flashes of inspiration from his words. Many aspects of Martial Souls they had previously failed to understand could suddenly receive workable solutions once Chen Ming analyzed them.
Although it was not especially obvious, aside from Golden Crocodile Douluo—who was currently attempting to master the power of blood essence and break through to Limit Douluo—and Qian Daoliu himself, who was already both a Limit Douluo and High Priest and therefore had nowhere higher to advance…
The remaining three elders all gained considerable insight, feeling that they might have a chance to break into higher realms within the next few years.
And so, while waiting for Lion Douluo and Glowing Feather Douluo to return with Spirit Beasts like a child waiting for new toys, Chen Ming continued reading and cultivating within Spirit Hall day after day.
Then, on a bright and sunny morning, while Chen Ming was jogging around Spirit Hall's plaza to circulate his blood essence, three dark-faced figures suddenly blocked his path.
"Elder Chen."
A husky female voice tinged with seduction rang out. A black-haired young woman with a flawless figure stepped forward, looking at Chen Ming with a scrutinizing and sowhat displeased gaze.
"And you are?" Although he had never t them in person before, just from the combination of two n and one woman and their characteristics, Chen Ming had already guessed the identities of the three.
"Elder Chen, my na is Hu Liena. I am the Pope's disciple." Hu Liena's voice carried clear dissatisfaction, yet because of her natural temperant and unique voice, it strangely sounded almost like coquettish complaining.
Beside her, Yan's eyes practically bulged out. His entire deanor radiated the unmistakable aura of a lovestruck simp. One look was enough to tell he was the absolute top tier of bootlickers.
"Oh. So what does the Pope's disciple want from ?" Chen Ming replied calmly to Hu Liena. He neither sounded angry nor displeased. His tone was so ordinary it was like casually telling a fruit vendor he wanted to buy a waterlon.
Hu Liena was beautiful.
So what?
Beautiful was beautiful. What did that have to do with him?
"Elder Chen, as a mber of Spirit Hall, don't you think the things you've been doing lately have gone too far?" Seeing that soone as young as Chen Ming remained completely unmoved by her charm, surprise flashed through Hu Liena's eyes.
Then she placed both hands on her waist and spoke as if interrogating him.
"As a mber of Spirit Hall, instead of prioritizing Spirit Hall, you've been getting involved with outside sects and clan forces. Don't you feel ashad of yourself?!"
