But as soon as the soul came out, Tang Wulin ten thousand years later had nothing to do with the Blue Silver Grass except for the fact that his first soul skill was Entanglement, his second soul skill was Blue Silver Stab Array, his third soul skill was Blue Silver Gold Light Array, and his fourth soul skill was Blue Silver Overlord Transformation.
(Blue Silver Grass: Why are you looking at me? We are not familiar with each other.)
The original matching and adaptability required between the spirit ring and the martial spirit are no longer important. As long as the age is high enough, they can be forced to apply even if they don't match.
Humans are on the fast lane, but what about soul beasts? Soul beasts are the burning gasoline.
The civilization on the blue planet will encroach on the land of animals and plants in the process of modernization, making them more likely to become extinct. However, this encroachment is not uncontrollable, because there is no fundamental conflict between this civilization and these animals and plants, and the development of civilization will not be determined by the existence or non-existence of animals and plants.
But in Douluo Continent, soul beasts are essential for human progress. It seems that the existence of soul beasts is to help humans become stronger. Apart from that, soul beasts are meaningless.
Only by obtaining soul rings can one's soul power continue to improve, only by obtaining soul rings can one's martial soul grow, and only by obtaining soul bones can one gain an advantage in the competition.
This is the iron rule of Douluo Continent. In a fight between soul masters, the first thing to look at is the great realm, then the soul power level. If the levels are similar, then the quality of the martial soul is looked at. If the qualities are the same, then the age of the soul ring is looked at. If the age is similar, then it is looked at whether there are soul bones.
A simple, quick and efficient strength classification requires only knowing the bloodline and family background of both parents to fully analyze whether a soul master is powerful.
Xiao Huohuo next door, can you imagine that every time he reaches a higher realm, he has to take a pill made from the magic core of a magical beast of the same level to reach the higher realm?
“Xiao Wu, do you know that the profession of soul master is wrong?” Gu You’s face was heavy, and he looked gloomily at the soul tiger and tentacle rose on the ground.
In Xiao Wu's surprised eyes, Gu You said in a low voice: "Why does the soul master need the soul ring left behind by the soul beast after death to upgrade? The soul power in the soul master's body is like a lock, and the upward channel is locked tightly."
"I have searched through all the books in the Notting City Wuhun Hall and the academy, but there is no record in any book, and no one has ever thought about this issue."
"Who was the first spirit master, and under what circumstances did he awaken his martial spirit? And who discovered the function of spirit rings, and found that as long as you absorb spirit rings, you can become stronger."
"And soul beasts. Why can soul beasts produce soul rings after they die? Animals, plants, and even some elemental life can produce soul rings after they die."
Having said this, Gu You paused and stared at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu looked at Gu You's face, her pupils dilated and her muscles tensed. Although Gu You seemed to be looking at her, Xiao Wu always felt that he was not looking at the "herself" who was standing here now.
Gu You's face was reflected in Xiao Wu's eyes. That face moved and closed, and said something that shocked Xiao Wu's heart.
"What about humans? Why don't dead humans have spirit rings?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu had the urge to turn around and run, but running away would really mean that something was wrong with her. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and forced a smile on her face, "What kind of person won't have a spirit ring after death?"
Seeing Xiao Wu's strange behavior, Gu You realized that there was some ambiguity in his words. Ordinary people might think that he was just imagining things, but for a soul beast like Xiao Wu, an adult might think that he was hinting at something.
Noticing that Xiao Wu's feet were moving unnaturally, Gu You thought it would be better not to scare the child, and instead to praise the child for his progress.
Gu You smiled casually, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. The last time I talked to Xiao San, I scared them."
Gu You told Xiao Wu in a simpler way what he had told Tang San last time, why future soul beasts would perish and the development of soul masters. Xiao Wu's face became more and more solemn.
Although she had no exposure to mathematics during her time in the Star Dou Great Forest, during the past year in Notting City, Xiao Wu also mastered the most basic mathematical calculations (although it was a passive mastery) through the classes taught by teachers in the academy and in order to help Gu You research his martial arts spirit.
“Although I don’t know how many soul beasts there are on this continent and in the endless ocean outside, I know very well that as long as the profession of soul master still exists, sooner or later soul beasts will die out.”
"Although the powerful ten thousand year soul beasts and the legendary hundred thousand year soul beasts will continue to exist, the hundred year and thousand year soul beasts will inevitably disappear."
What Gu You didn’t say was that a ten thousand year soul beast would eventually grow into a hundred thousand year soul beast. When the hundred thousand years had passed, the soul beasts that were destined to never become gods would be killed one by one by the heavenly tribulation.
Then without the hundred-year soul beasts and thousand-year soul beasts, and the powerful hundred-thousand-year soul beasts all died, only the ten-year soul beasts that were no different from wild beasts were left. What was the difference between the soul beasts and the dead?
Xiao Wu was thinking about the changes in humans. Although the time as a soul beast was too long, she had already forgotten the soul masters she had met in the past.
But she knew very well that, with the help of time, human beings' strength had grown to a level that was now capable of killing hundred thousand year soul beasts. In the future, it was very likely that hundred thousand year, two hundred thousand year, or even five hundred thousand year soul beasts would be easily made into soul rings by soul masters.
"Brother You, why don't you publish this idea so that soul masters will stop hunting soul beasts." Xiao Wu asked.
"Because they don't care. Whether it's people or soul beasts in the future, they are completely meaningless to the soul masters who need power now. As long as they can easily obtain power, it doesn't matter what the future will be like ten thousand years later."
Gu You sighed, not sure whether it was for Xiao Wu or for all humans on this continent.
The bloodline theory in Douluo World is too serious. Whether it is Tang San or Huo Yuhao, not to mention the latter two, it is simply that without a powerful bloodline, you have no chance to become a god. It is even more excessive than the legend of the Otsutsuki eyes. At least there is Kai who almost kicked out of the finale.

Chapter 72 The Quietly Changing Future
Xiao Wu was convinced.
Not to mention humans, even soul beasts will fight for power and status. At this time, let alone the future that is far away, even the family in front of them can be abandoned.
"Don't make that expression. Don't forget who I am."
Gu You looked up at the red skyline, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on his face.
"I am a genius. I think of things that others cannot think of, and I do things that others cannot do. If everything goes according to the established path, then what is the point of me coming here?"
A world where gods exist. The beastmen live in darkness under the framework of gods, and humans become the executioners of gods out of ignorance.
If you are not chosen by the gods, no matter how strong your talent is or how hard you work, you can only stop at level 99.
God said: You can only go this far and not beyond.
"The upper limit of soul masters is level 99. Soul beasts are destined to not become gods. Humans must have soul rings from soul beasts... Oh, you high and mighty gods, your rules only apply to locals. I am a dragon from across the river, and I don't intend to abide by them at all."
Thinking of this, the smile on Gu You’s face became even brighter.
"Xiao Wu, I don't intend to let the lifeblood of mankind be in the hands of soul beasts forever. The fate of mankind must still be in the hands of humans."
In Xiao Wu's eyes, this smile was full of arrogance. Although Gu You was looking up with his eyes towards the horizon, his eyes showed a domineering aura that looked down on everyone.
"Self-condensed soul ring." Xiao Wu was startled by this word. Her neck was not grabbed, and there were no five hundred swordsmen ambushing around. She could only hear Gu You's voice continuing, "Although there are only a few records, the legendary 100,000-year soul beast has the opportunity to transform into a human form."
"According to records, a soul beast that turns into a human will change its original form into a human's martial soul. But at this time, it is still a soul beast in essence, and it will still produce soul rings and soul bones when killed."
"You need to wait until you reach level 70 and obtain your martial soul to truly transform into a human. Even if you are killed at this time, no soul rings or soul bones will appear."
"After the seventh soul ring, the soul beasts need to obtain soul beasts' soul rings to break through the realm, but before the seventh ring, their soul rings can condense on their own, so they can continue to practice."
"Although this is just a record in a miscellaneous book, even the author cannot be verified, and I have not found any related records in other books except this one. But I believe that the self-condensed spirit ring is not a fantasy."
"Perhaps the soul beasts don't know the importance of this thing. But for humans, this is the best way to get rid of the shackles of innateness."
"Xiao Wu," Gu You turned his head to look at Xiao Wu who was standing aside with a stiff expression, "You and Xiao San are my best helpers. As long as we grow strong enough, we can find the 100,000-year-old soul beast rumored to be in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest. As long as we can observe how they condense their soul rings, we will have a chance to master this technique ourselves."
"Congratulations, you now know the final and most difficult goal of the two-person organization you joined. It's too late for you to quit."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind them, "Sisi, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Wang Sheng, how do you feel?"
The two turned around and saw the two people who were absorbing the spirit rings standing up from the ground.
"Sister Sisi, Wang Sheng, are you okay?" Gu You didn't wait for Xiao Wu to answer and walked towards the two people who had just regained consciousness.
"...I don't plan to quit." Xiao Wu said in a voice that only she could hear.
After saying that, a bright smile appeared on his face. He walked past Gu You and ran towards Sisi with a smile, "Sister Sisi, are you okay?"
Sisi hugged Xiaowu and looked at Gu You who was walking behind her. She smiled and replied, "It's okay. The absorption went smoothly and the soul skill effect is also very suitable for me."
Wang Sheng also patted his chest and said, "Brother You, I'm fine. Just as you said, my spirit skill is a defensive spirit skill."
Sisi also nodded, "Xiao You, your guess is completely correct. The soul skills provided by the Tentacle Rose are indeed the same as you said."
At this moment, Su Yuntao clapped his hands, "Xiao You, I know you are anxious to know the effects of their soul skills, but it is getting late now. We need to leave the forest as soon as possible."
Everyone nodded and ran towards the outskirts of the forest.
At the same time, in the center of the continent, somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest, a soul beast suddenly raised its head and looked at the starry sky.
This soul beast has golden hair, and its body seems to be translucent crystal, full of strange texture. The overall shape is very similar to a lion, but the four claws are like dragon claws, and each dragon claw is stepping on a ball of golden flame. The mouth is also longer than that of lion-like soul beasts, and under the hair, there are fine golden scales. In addition to the normal two eyes, there is a third eye, but it is a vertical pupil. The two normal eyes are shining with gold, while the vertical pupil is emitting red, with a bit of weird red.
This strange soul beast looked up at the starry sky, and huge mental power was continuously released from its vertical pupils, slowly merging into the entire forest.
"Auspicious beast, what happened?" A huge head stretched out from the woods, and its two eyes looked up and down.
"The direction of destiny has changed." The strange soul beast known as the auspicious beast had a heavy expression on its face. It suddenly found that it had lost control of the power of destiny of the Star Dou Great Forest. The originally calm power of destiny had become more active than ever before.
"Auspicious beast, what have you done?" The Red King also discovered something was wrong. The Star Dou Great Forest seemed to have awakened from a deep sleep, and the natural force in the air was more active than ever before.
The Red King even felt as if his breath became stronger with each breath, which was something that had never happened even when the Emperor's auspicious beast was born.
“I didn’t do anything!” The auspicious beast replied unhappily, “This is not something I can do now. Ten thousand years… no, a hundred thousand years. I need to cultivate for at least a hundred thousand years to activate the natural power of the Star Dou Great Forest to this extent.”
"What should we do now?" Chi Wang's underdeveloped brain had no idea what he should do next, whether to protect the auspicious beast on the spot, or take the auspicious beast back to the core circle as soon as possible.
"Take me back quickly. Di Tian and the others should have discovered something is wrong. I need to tell them the problem as soon as possible." The auspicious beast jumped onto the Red King's back and urged it to set off quickly.
"Okay, hold on tight." The Red King answered in a low voice, and ran straight from the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest to the core area in the center at the fastest speed.
"Why did the power of destiny in the Xingdou Great Forest suddenly become active, and the source of the activity is not in the forest. We must tell Di Tian as soon as possible."
The auspicious beast thought to itself, urging the Red King to continue speeding up.
In the plot, when the Three-Eyed Golden Lion appeared, it had a cultivation base of 15,000 years. The difference between Dou Yi and Dou II is about 10,000 years. Even if we consider that its appearance will increase the speed of soul beast cultivation, it will not increase it by a full 5,000 years, so it is possible that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion existed at this time. After solving the problem of survival, the protagonist's ambition began to emerge. Continue to ask for recommendation tickets, collections, monthly tickets, and follow-up reading~
Chapter 73: Soul Master's Thoughts and the Formation of Soul Skills
With the help of Tang San's unlimited physical and spiritual power, everyone ran out of the Soul Beast Forest before it got completely dark.
Although he was briefly chased by a group of wolves on the way, he was easily scared away by the predatory aura released by the Gu You martial spirit.
After dinner, the group checked into the hotel and then gathered at Su Yuntao and Wang Sheng’s rooms without any prior arrangement.
Su Yuntao said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, why do you have to come here so actively? I still want to have a good rest tonight."
"Don't mind it, Brother Tao." Wang Sheng walked behind Su Yuntao and pinched his shoulders. "Doesn't this prove that Brother Tao is popular with everyone?" After only two days of contact with Su Yuntao on the road, Wang Sheng was already able to make some jokes with Su Yuntao.
As a working student, Wang Sheng has the charm to unite others, allowing all the working students to form a force to help each other and advance and retreat together. This is nearly a hundred times stronger than a rabbit who becomes the boss through force.
"Don't give me that." Su Yuntao wasn't really angry, he just said casually, "Sisi, Wang Sheng, tell me about the effects of your soul skills. Otherwise, seeing Xiaoyou's condition, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Everyone laughed and Gu You scratched his head embarrassedly.
After laughing, Wang Sheng said, "Brother You, let me go first. My martial soul is the Battle Tiger, and I am an 11th-level strong attack spirit master. My first spirit ring is taken from a hundred-year-old spirit tiger. My first spirit skill is what I call the Tiger Soul Protection. It forms a layer of spirit power protection on the surface of the body that can resist attacks. It can also filter the air. For example, the Tentacle Rose I encountered today, as long as I use the first spirit skill, its fragrance will not affect me."
Gu You nodded. "Tiger Soul Protection, a good name. Both effects are related to defense. The ability to filter air toxins will give you a higher margin of error."
Tang San focused on body protection and asked Wang Sheng: "Wang Sheng, what is the soul power protection on the surface of the body like? Is there any protection for places like the eyes and armpits?"
Wang Sheng thought about it and said, "From my perspective, it's full body protection, the kind that completely covers the body."
Gu You thought about it and said awkwardly: "In this case, your soul skills may not be as practical as I thought."
"Why?" Wang Sheng was very surprised. "Isn't this effect quite good? It protects the whole body and filters poison gas. Both are very powerful effects."
Except for Tang San, everyone else looked at Gu You in surprise, wondering why he could be dissatisfied with the effect of this spirit skill.
"Soul power," Tang San spoke up, directly pointing out the biggest weakness of this super soul skill, "This soul skill may require a lot of soul power."
