Douluo Diary: The Martial Soul White Tiger Ability Lock

Diary System—Chapter 137: Without Xiao Wu, the Chance of the Eight Spider Lance Will Disappear?

However, they had long been accustomed to Dai Yichen's scumbag nature.

And he had never concealed his scumbag tendencies from the beginning. He also made it clear that he wouldn't force others. 

Compared to Tang San's combination of hypocrisy and villainy, Dai Yichen's scumbag nature was much easier for them to accept.

After all, with such an object of comparison, once you raised the threshold, Dai Yichen seemed to have virtually no major shortcomings.

Look—aren't the Zhu sisters now hooked by Dai Yichen's tactics?

And they remembered that Dai Yichen had confessed early on that he was a royal child with good talent and strength. He was an all-rounder. His only hobby was loving women widely. If they could accept that, they might even try to get close to him.

He didn't hide it from the start!

It was obvious he wanted to open a harem!

Even so, Zhu Zhuqing had gradually fallen for Dai Yichen's little gestures.

Cupid's arrow probably hit Zhu Zhuqing's pink heart completely when Dai Yichen beat Dai Weisi half to death for her.

Zhu Zhuyun, having been in a relationship with him over the years, had even sent herself in—commonly known as giving it away for free! 

[If Tang San had waited until he absorbed the soul rings of the human-faced demon spider, Xiao Wu would have been completely digested by then. In the original novel, when Tang San had absorbed half of the soul rings, Xiao Wu returned on her own, using a rather lame excuse.]

[The Titan Giant Ape caught her and was about to eat her, but then heard a bull roar in the distance, causing it to throw her away and flee in a hurry. This excuse was far-fetched. Later, when Yu Xiaogang found out, it was fabricated, which was quite outrageous.]

[It was this absorption of the human-faced demon spider's soul ring that allowed Tang San to gain an external soul bone—the Eight Spider Lance. After Tang San became a god, this external soul bone transformed into the Eight Wings of the Sea God, becoming a divine weapon.]

[The reason Tang San was able to encounter this human-faced demon spider was largely because of Xiao Wu. Now that the two of them no longer knew each other, the opportunity for this external soul bone was probably gone, right?]

[After all, there's no reason for Tang San to exceed his limits and absorb soul rings of higher levels. Even if his third soul ring was still from the human-faced demon spider, if it was within the theoretical limit, the chance of obtaining the Eight Spider Lance would be greatly reduced.]

Girls: …

Fuck! 

They didn't expect Tang San to obtain an external soul bone from the human-faced demon spider at around twelve years old! Among soul beasts, the human-faced demon spider was one of the most evil.

It's hard to say about other soul beasts, but in Tang San's words, it was an evil soul beast that constantly devoured its kind to improve its cultivation.

And being able to do so showed that the human-faced demon spider's strength was among the best in the soul beast world—even if not at the very top, it was still top-tier!

However, it was quite strange that Tang San's blue-silver grass absorbed the soul ring of a human-faced demon spider.

To be honest, Tang San's blue silver grass was poisonous and controlled, which many female protagonists couldn't understand.

You could control it, but what about poison and control? 

You couldn't fully balance both—blue silver grass itself was fragile, and when controlled, it split into two paths.

It was obvious that under Yu Xiaogang's teaching, the cultivation direction of the blue silver grass was poison-based with toughness enhancement. Isn't that diverging from the original intention?

The first soul ring was from the Datura Snake, providing paralysis toxins and some toughness. The third soul ring was from the human-faced demon spider, giving toxins and toughness—poison first, toughness second.

If the goal was simply to enhance toughness, wouldn't it be better to absorb plant-type soul beasts? 

This was a common perception.

Even if animal soul beasts could enhance toughness, could they surpass the toughness of plant-type soul beasts? 

What did Yu Xiaogang learn in the Spirit Hall?

Since they had been reading Dai Yichen's diary for over a year, they had also learned a lot about his martial soul cultivation theories.

Dai Yichen believed that a martial soul should absorb soul rings suitable for its nature.

For example, the Hell Spirit Cat was suitable for speed and attack boosts, along with some defense-breaking and concealment skills.

He advocated the theory of martial soul limits, with amplification as the main focus and active attack as an auxiliary.

In the early stages, it was best to amplify one's soul skills. As the soul ring age increased, adding attack-oriented skills was fine, but amplification remained the core.

Although Dai Yichen didn't get along with Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai, he still praised their soul ring configurations in the original work. Their initial setups achieved both offense and defense.

The White Tiger Shield Body Barrier, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and later White Tiger Devil God Transformation and the martial soul true body—all are soul skills that amplify oneself. Interestingly, they are arranged at odd-numbered levels (1, 3, 5, 7), with attack skills interspersed. This configuration was very effective, as every soul skill could be used later on.

Amplification soul skills could be stacked!

As for the Zhu family's soul skills, Dai Yichen also criticized their poor configuration. Your White Tiger inherited soul skills are well set up, but the Hell Spirit Cat's soul ring configuration is so lacking—what a stark contrast!

Is it to suppress the Zhu family? 

[Strangely, the Dragon Duke and the Serpent Grandmother have been famous on the mainland for so long, yet they both escaped after two failed attempts to capture the right soul beast, instead making wedding clothes for others. If this got out, it would be quite funny.]

[The Dragon Duke Soul Douluo, the Serpent Grandmother Soul Emperor, and the granddaughter Soul Grandmaster—dealing with a thousand-year soul beast is already difficult. And the human-faced demon spider exceeded the theoretical age limit. Can't they see that?]

[If Meng Yiran absorbed this human-faced demon spider, she might explode and die. Even with Dragon Duke and Serpent Grandmother's help, it could damage her foundation.]

[I don't believe they have fourteen soul skills combined without a control-type skill. It's like an invisible force between heaven and earth is pushing them toward Tang San and his group.]
