Douluo Dalu: Elementalist

The next day, Qin xi sat on his bed, studying his marital soul. Looking at the floating orb in his hand, he didn't know which element to start with. The information he received when he first awakened the martial soul was that he could absorb soul ring of any attribute. A new element will be awakened every time he absorbs a soul ring, depending on the attribute of soul beast. To be honest, this feels too overwhelming.

You know, generally a martial soul has only one attribute, and those with two or three are rare and and are considered top martial souls. Of course, having two attributes doesn't always necessarily mean a top spirit, but most of the times, most of the top spirits generally have two, and sometime even three attributes are present. Just take Blue lightening tyrannosaurus rex and Haotin hammer martial spirits for the purpose of example. One has two top level attributes of thunder and dragon, while the other one has attributes of strength and destruction. Especially the later one's extremely rare destruction attribute is what makes it considered as the strongest attacking weapon martial soul. Then there is the god level martial soul of Spirit hall, Seraphim. It has three powerful attributes light, holiness and fire.

Of course, exceptions exist everywhere. A single attribute martial soul with an ultimate element is dozen of times better than a top martial with two or even three top attributes. Ultimate martial souls can even compete with god level martial spirits. His own emerald swan has peak life attribute, just an inch away from ultimate level, but with just top level extremely rare life attribute, its still ranked better than the other top auxiliary martial spirits.

Coming back to his elemental martial soul, even if he can absorb soul ring of any attribute, it cannot be without proper planning. After all, elements such as fire and water repel each other, and absorbing them in succession would definitely make him explode. But if we add wind after fire, and then water, it can work. Fire gains strength from wind, wind reacts with water to form ice, and then water with earth to form wood. Of course, he doesn't know if he would be able to fuse elements, but that's something for later. At least, he has a general idea of which direction to follow.

The door of the room was opened, and Qin xi was surprised to see his mom. After telling him about his father yesterday, Qin Rou had locked herself in the room, and it was only after a whole day that he was seeing her.

Qin xi hurriedly moved aside to make space for her to sit. "Mom, how are you? I'm sorry, i shouldn't have forced you to answer yesterday." He was indeed too reckless yesterday, but he's still glad that he asked. Otherwise, how could he have known about his family's past. In a way, I can be considered similar to the protagonist. We both have twin martial spirits and one parent of both is dead. Of course, he doesn't have the halo of protagonist and techniques of tang sect.

"No, you didn't do anything wrong. It was indeed time for you to know things. My son is mature, and he can handle things." Qin Rou affectionately rubbed her son's head. "By the way Xin'er, show me your element soul again. Yesterday, I couldn't see it properly."

Qin xi nodded, and summoned the transparent orb.

Qin Rou looked at the transparent floating orb and observed it for a while. She summoned her own water orb, and compared it to her son's spirit. Seeing the silvery shine on her son's marital soul, she asked: "Is it space orb?"

Qin xi shook his head: "No, mom. It's actually...' After that, he told the information he received at the time of awakening, and his plannings for the soul rings.

Qin Rou was stunned hearing the full introduction of martial soul, and her mouth fell apart in shock. It's too much. A marital soul that can add a new element with every soul ring, doesn't that mean if her son became Titled douluo, then he would be able to control and use nine elements. Just thought of it makes her excited and shocked.

"Xin'er, is it really true?"

"Of course, why would i lie to you." Qin xi was helpless, his own mother wasn't believing him.

Qin Rou sighed. It's not that she doesn't trust him, but the information he told her was too much. She was quiet for a while, and said: "Do not ever tell anyone about your this ability, not even those whom you trust. Even they can be only told maximum of four elements. As for the emerald swan, no second person should know about it apart from us both, unless you have the ability to protect yourself from an empire and a top sect."

Qin xi nodded. He understands the reference. Anyway, he would be cultivating elemental soul first, emerald swan will not be touched till he's a soul saint.
