"Because my martial soul has undergone a malignant mutation. I was born with only a defective 0.5 level soul power. I knew that I could not make any further progress in my cultivation, so I concentrated on theoretical research."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang's eyes flashed with pride, "Because of this, I have theoretical knowledge that even Titled Douluo don't have. A long time ago, I was also called a theoretical master for publishing the ten core competitiveness of martial spirits. After knowing my deeds, are you still unwilling to worship me as your master?"

Xia Liang shook his head again, "I don't want to."

"You!" Yu Xiaogang obviously didn't expect to be rejected again, and his face was already a little unhappy. "Xia Liang, do you know the importance of theoretical knowledge? For your skeleton martial soul, I have already thought of a training plan to develop it into a defensive spirit master. If you can get my theoretical guidance, even if your skeleton martial soul is a cripple, you can still become the best defense in the continent!"

Xia Liang frowned, "Master, may I ask, your theoretical guidance is so powerful, then is your malignant mutant martial spirit the best in the continent in some aspect?"

"No." Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "But I am the number one theoretical master in the continent."

"The first theoretical master who doesn't even have experience in absorbing the third soul ring?" Xia Liang continued to ask.

Yu Xiaogang was stunned and unable to refute for a moment.

"How about this." Xia Liang changed the subject and said, "Master, I picked up a book about theoretical knowledge. Although the book has been lost, I still remember the important theories mentioned in the book. You don't have to accept me as your apprentice, and I don't have to worship you as my master. We can just simply exchange knowledge. How about it?"

"A book that summarizes theoretical knowledge?" Yu Xiaogang asked subconsciously, "What theories are there in it?"

"One of the theories is about the malignant mutation of martial souls. The book mentions that the malignant mutation of martial souls is likely related to the accumulation of impurities in the martial soul bloodline."

Looking back at Yu Xiaogang's curious gaze, Xia Liang said nonsense, "Suppose starting from your great-grandfather, through generations of martial soul inheritance, your parents finally gave birth to you. Then the martial soul inheritance in you actually accumulated the martial soul bloodline of countless ancestors."

"Among the countless martial soul bloodlines, there may be a phenomenon of returning to nature, causing the chicken martial soul to mutate into a phoenix. It is also possible that two martial soul bloodlines with extremely poor compatibility will appear, such as a water-attributed martial soul bloodline and a fire-attributed martial soul bloodline."

"This incompatible martial soul bloodline is equivalent to impurities. Once the impurities with conflicting properties accumulate too much, it will affect the purity of your dominant martial soul bloodline, thus causing your dominant martial soul bloodline to undergo a malignant mutation."

After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Manifest martial soul bloodline? What is that?"

Xia Liang smiled, "If you awaken your father's martial soul, then your father's martial soul bloodline in your body is called the dominant martial soul bloodline. And your mother's martial soul bloodline is called recessive. In the future, your grandchildren may awaken the recessive martial soul bloodline, which is your mother's martial soul."

"Is there a concept of explicit and implicit martial soul bloodlines?" Yu Xiaogang looked at Xia Liang in surprise. "Is all this knowledge recorded in that book?"

Xia Liang nodded, "Of course. How could I, an eight-year-old kid, know these things? In addition to the theory of martial soul malignant mutation, there are other theories recorded in that book. Master, if you want to know more..."

"Okay. Exchange of knowledge? I promise."

Before Xia Liang could finish his words, Yu Xiaogang rushed to ask, "What knowledge do you want to exchange with me?"

"Soul beast knowledge." Xia Liang held up three fingers. "I'll give you four theories mentioned in that book in exchange for a soul beast book. What do you think?"

"Soul beast books are a precious resource no matter where they are. Even I can't take out a complete soul beast book to exchange with you. However, if you want a copy of a soul beast book, I do have it."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang took out a book several centimeters thick from the soul guide on his belt.

There are only a few simple words on the cover of the book: Soul Beast Manuscript.

Yu Xiaogang shook the book in his hand and said, "Compared with the original book, this copy lacks the pictures of each soul beast. But the soul beast knowledge recorded in it is consistent with the original book. If you can accept it, I will use it in exchange for the theory you got from that book."

Looking at the soul beast manuscript handed to him, Xia Liang was delighted.

Yu Xiaogang might not be reliable in theory, but most of his knowledge about soul beasts comes from the Spirit Hall library and is genuine stuff.

To add the nine most suitable spirit rings to the Skeleton Martial Spirit, a large amount of knowledge about spirit beasts was needed, so it was proposed to exchange theory with Yu Xiaogang.

In fact, there is no book that summarizes theoretical knowledge. The explicit and implicit martial soul bloodlines I just mentioned are just nonsense I made up based on my imagination.

Exchanging this ridiculous theory for a copy of the soul beast book from Yu Xiaogang is definitely a good idea.

What's more, Yu Xiaogang would use these nonsense theories to harm Tang San.

If Tang San were to be defeated by Yu Xiaogang, his chance of becoming a god in the future might be reduced by a competitor.

"Master, can I take a look at this soul beast manuscript first?" Xia Liang asked tentatively.

Yu Xiaogang nodded.

Taking the soul beast manuscript handed to him, Xia Liang carefully read every page.

It records knowledge about various high-quality soul beasts, including the high-quality fire soul beast Earth King mentioned in the original novel, as well as the Death Demon Spider and even the top-level Death Spider Emperor.

Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?

Xia Liang was surprised. This soul beast manuscript even recorded the information of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and also recorded the top soul beasts of ancient blood such as the Titan Giant Ape and the Flame Lord.

Perhaps only the Spirit Hall's thousand-year heritage could record the information of ancient bloodline soul beasts.

This soul beast manuscript was most likely copied by Yu Xiaogang from the Spirit Hall library.

With it, I will never have to worry about the problem of soul beast knowledge reserves.

"In addition to the common soul beasts, it also records many rare and precious soul beast species, and also includes most of the relevant knowledge about known soul beasts."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Xia Liang and asked with a burning gaze, "How about this? I'll exchange this soul beast manuscript for the theory mentioned in that book. You should be able to accept it, right?"

"Okay." Xia Liang closed the Soul Beast Manuscript and smiled mysteriously, "Among the theories mentioned in that book, there are four that impressed me the most. There are also some concepts that the soul masters on the mainland have never heard of. Master, listen carefully."

"The first theory is that soul masters can become stronger through theory, but if they only pursue theory without strengthening themselves, then such soul masters are destined to be useless when they grow old."

"The second theory is that under certain circumstances, a spirit master's spirit may mutate into a weapon-beast combination. The so-called weapon-beast combination is a spirit that can have both weapon spirit and beast spirit forms."

"The third theory is that every martial soul has the potential to be cultivated into a top-level martial soul. Even the most useless Blue Silver Grass martial soul can become a top-level existence in a certain aspect in the future if it finds a suitable direction for cultivation. This is exactly the truth that everyone is born with talents that will be useful."

"The fourth theory is that the poison attribute can turn any martial spirit into an extremely aggressive combat martial spirit."

"For example, the weakest Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit is easy to break and has no attack power on its own, but if a poison attribute spirit ring is added to it and it becomes a poisonous grass, it will become dangerous and aggressive."
