The soul master development in the soul master world it is roughly divided by two major schools extreme and balance.
The Extreme School believes that each martial spirit has its own characteristics, and they choose their strongest attributes to maximize what their martial spirit is good at.
The Balance Sect believes that the situations faced by soul masters in battle are complex and changeable, and a soul master must develop in a balanced manner in line with the attributes of his own martial soul.
The two sides argue endlessly about this as the extreme faction believes that omnipotence means mediocrity, while the balanced faction believes that the extreme faction has too many weaknesses.
Soul Master development generally manifest in this six templates namely meat tank, magician, shooter, support, assassin and warrior of course each martial soul has their own bias and predisposition suited for them although it may be all of them but more of a prototype
A meat tank is a defensive type. Regardless of whether the martial spirit is a beast martial spirit or a weapon martial spirit, the defense is manifested in the form of using the body after the martial spirit is attached to it to resist, or using spirit skills to release defensive spirit skills. As long as it can resist and reduce damage, it is a good meat tank.
A magician is a spirit master whose martial spirit skills are mainly based on releasing energy, not just a spirit master with a larger attack range.
Shooter does not only refer to soul masters whose martial souls are bows and crossbows, but also refers to soul masters whose soul skills can perform long-range shooting. In other words, they are soulmasters who can attack from a long distance and with high accuracy.
Support, needless to say, whether it is to restore teammates, increase their power, or control the opponent so that teammates cantake the opportunity to attack, it is all support. The definition of support should be broader. Sometimes, even a tank can be a support. After all, he uses his strong defense to consume the enemy's soul skills and create opportunities for his teammates to attack. Isn't that also support?
Assassins are not what you imagine, but they are not much different. They are soul masters with strong attacks and fast speeds, but they are relatively fragile. They need to control the key points of the battle. In team battles, they need to move around and seize opportunities. When teammates control the enemy, they can kill them with one strike or make a finishing blow.
A warrior which is a more comprehensive type of soul master who can resist, fight, assist, and assassinate.
With this the basic framework should be considered complete as the soul master system is a mix of elements from eastern and western fantasy which has been integrated to form new power system
This is what cultivation in douluo should look like which only shows how unique it is although it can't be said to be perfect but it's potential is undeniable.
Although the Tang Sect has declined and it's inheritance is a bit castrated it is indeed possible to implement my ideas not to mention they have their ties with Taoism
Purple Demon Eye, Mysterious Heaven Technique and Mysterious Jade Hand although they can't be called the most powerful techniques compared to other cultivation worlds they are more than enough to be used as reference to deduce a way the three treasures and proof of concept
How can a plant spirit be considered complete without roots?
In my humble opinion, the first few spirit rings and spirit skills of a spirit master are extremely important, even more important than the last few which are trump cards.
Because it is well known that the higher the level of the spirit master, the stronger the spirit skills he hopes to absorb, and he will definitely absorb the spirit rings of spirit beasts with the highest age as possible.
But just like the spirit masters in human society, the higher the level of the spirit beast world, the fewer spirit beasts there are especially if you are meticulous.
This means that a soul master may not necessarily get the soul rings of soul beasts that are very suitable for their martial spirit both in skills and development when hunting soul rings after one becomes powerful.
For most soul masters, after their soul power reaches a certain level, as long as they are soul beasts that are in line with the general direction of their martial spirit and have a high enough age, they will choose to hunt their soul rings.
Moreover, due to planning issues, many soul masters' high-level soul skills are upgraded versions of their low-level soul ring soul skills, which means that their low-level soul ring soul skills basically have no time to appear again, which is equivalent to wasting those positions in vain.
Take the blue silver grass as an example, what are the characteristics of the blue silver grass? It is the tenacious vitality that cannot be burned by wildfires and will be reborn in the spring breeze, the ability of seeds to reproduce all over the world, and the adaptability to grow in most places.
"These are the 'essence' of the blue silver grass, the aspects I need to strengthen mainly, as for the 'essence', it is the function you need to give it, and this function must not conflict with the 'essence' and can only serve as a foil."
But there are only few soul ring lots excluding the martial soul true body If a soul master want functionality with such a small number of spirit rings, then these 'roots' cannot all be taken into account. It is best to choose one as the absolute core, and all the spirit rings are built around it.
In my case it is evolution or optimization of my martial soul to embody the word endless while continuing to add talent in my martial soul
Evolution is divided into two aspects for biological martial souls, bloodline level and attribute development which requires sufficient energy of a certain quality although they are different paths they affect one another to ensure stability although the result may be good or bad any mutations can be traced back to these two factors
When choosing spirit rings for a martial soul it is mainly based on two points attribute and talent
"First, it is the attributes. The attributes of the soul beast you choose should be consistent with the martial soul itself."
"The second point is to look at the talent of the martial soul itself which are the function and characteristic of the martial spirit itself. Just like a sword, its attributes can be wind, thunder, fire, etc., but talent is the function of this sword, it is sharp and can be used for slashing."
Of course there is also compatibility ideally from the same or related species especially if your martial soul is of low quality to better inherit the traits of the soul beast you get the soul ring from attributes are an amplifier of talent and talent is the way to leverage attributes
Inherited martial souls are the mainstream to creating and maintaining a force due to their stability although they may not be the strongest it can be passed down through generations unlike mutations which are unstable while they may potentially be more powerful it is more often than not isn't worth it as introduces uncertainty and unknown
Optimizing an existing one is easier than let's say new one not only developing it is also problem but you have to stabilize it so it can be passed down which is a hassle as there is reason why the strongest force is often the ones with long history due to continuous optimization and stability
My first soul ring comes from a five hundred year Overlord Grass which as the name implies is an overlord as no plants can grow near it due to it's well developed roots leaving no resources for other plants to grow
Giving me the soul skill blue silver rooting which enables my martial soul to take root and sustain itself while giving me access to the power of the earth and making it hard to pullout of the ground unless you can suppress the power earth it absorbs
