Douluo 2: Way of Fake God With Soul Tools

After lunch, Su Luoheng returned to his room.

Through recent meditation, he had a more intuitive feeling: the soul power he had just converted from the world's elemental energy mostly flowed into his martial spirit space, with only a small portion stored in his dantian. The absorption process was continuous; if he didn't meditate, the power would simply draw from the soul power stored in his dantian.

After a round of meditation, Su Luoheng focused his thoughts.

The desolate projection of his martial spirit appeared behind him, radiating a barren and bleak atmosphere into the surroundings.

"What exactly is my martial spirit?"

Ever since he reincarnated to the Douluo Continent, Su Luoheng had been curious about martial spirits. Now that he had finally awakened this power, he was naturally eager to explore it.

Martial spirits are generally divided into three main categories: Tool Spirits, Beast Spirits, and Body Spirits. However, Luoheng's martial spirit was quite peculiar. Even Su Junran, who was well-versed in martial spirits, could only identify a spiritual attribute within it. As for Su Luoheng, a clueless kid who only knew a little from reading some original novels, he was at a loss. The novels he read didn't delve much into martial spirits.

Bored and restless, Luoheng could only explore on his own, trying to control his martial spirit, but to no avail. Every ounce of soul power that merged with his martial spirit was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no feedback.

After several attempts, his soul power was exhausted.

Frustrated, Luoheng could only accept reality.

It seemed that he would have to wait until his martial spirit fully awakened, as his father suggested, before he could uncover its capabilities.

His father had high expectations for this martial spirit, even if its purpose was still unknown. For now, a shallow sense of anticipation would suffice until its full awakening.

After all, Luoheng was born with innate full soul power.

Having such an impressive talent, it shouldn't turn out too poorly, right?

And even if it turned out to be a useless martial spirit, he could still learn to use soul tools. Soul engineers didn't depend on the strength of their martial spirits.

Thus, Su Luoheng wasn't overly concerned about the strength of his martial spirit; his main focus was on improving his soul power to free himself from its limitations. Once his soul power reached a higher level, the rest would naturally follow.

For a Soul Master, the strength of the martial spirit is merely the starting point.

Innate full soul power—that's the critical factor for a Soul Master.

With this thought, Su Luoheng resumed his meditation.

Tonight, he didn't plan on sleeping.

Meditation not only strengthens soul power but also restores physical strength and mental energy.

Once a Soul Master awakens their martial spirit and gains soul power, they can use meditation techniques to replace daily sleep.

For Luoheng, every available moment for cultivation had to be utilized.

Sleeping was no exception.

Outside the door.

Ye Lan and Su Junran, the husband and wife, quietly closed the door as they watched their son immersed in cultivation.

"Honey, are you sure our son's martial spirit is fine?" Ye Lan's beautiful eyes were filled with concern.

"Don't worry." Su Junran gently embraced her and said softly, "I can sense that this martial spirit is definitely extraordinary. At most, we'll waste a year's time, which will also serve as a valuable experience for Luoheng."

"But he's only six years old..."

Ye Lan sighed softly, but then her eyes lit up. "Honey, do you remember that we still have some leftover materials from last time?"

"You're not thinking of...?"

"Oh, come on, just a little something to cheer him up... Besides, our son is already a Soul Master, and he can definitely use it~"

"But—"

"What but?"

"Alright, alright, I agree~"

Hearing this, Ye Lan contentedly leaned in his arms, while Su Junran lowered his head and smiled indulgently.

...

Time flew by.

It had been five months since Su Luoheng awakened his soul power.

Although he couldn't obtain his first soul ring in the short term due to his martial spirit, the meditation during this period accelerated his martial spirit's progress. According to Su Junran's estimation, if Luoheng continued cultivating at this pace, it might not even take a year.

At the same time, Su Junran also devised a strict training plan for little Luoheng. While his soul power couldn't be improved for now, physical training was essential and couldn't be neglected.

Whether one is a support-type or combat-type Soul Master, a strong physique is crucial.

Although Su Luoheng was still young and his body not fully developed, having his soul power to nourish him meant his physical state was already beyond ordinary.

However, the intensity of his physical training still needed to be adjusted according to his current condition.

Along with this, his nutritional intake and medicinal supplements had to be properly maintained.

Su Junran was careful not to overlook these aspects. Although these expenses were considerable, they were manageable for a Soul Master family.

Su Luoheng understood that all this was beneficial for him. Following his father's rigorous training, he made steady progress. Although his soul power remained the same, his physical strength had improved significantly compared to a month ago.

Fortunately, his complexion wasn't affected.

Morning, at the dining table.

As Su Luoheng scooped rice into his mouth, he asked, "Dad, are we training my body again today?"

"You get a day off today to rest. Balancing work and rest is the best way to cultivate." After a slight pause, Su Junran smiled mysteriously and added, "Besides, your mom has a surprise prepared for you~"

"A surprise?"

"Look, here it comes."

Su Junran nodded in the direction of Ye Lan, who approached with a smile.

Su Luoheng's gaze was immediately drawn to the exquisite gift box in her hand.

"Mom, what's inside?"

"A gift for our little Luoheng."

Noticing the anticipation in her son's eyes, Ye Lan affectionately ruffled his hair and placed the gift box in front of him. "Open it and see. I've been preparing this for quite a while~"

"Okay!"

Luoheng eagerly unwrapped the gift box.

A beautiful ice-blue wrist guard appeared before him, intricately engraved with delicate patterns. At its center was a diamond-shaped sapphire, clear and sparkling, faintly radiating an icy light.

In the sunlight, it shimmered brilliantly, dazzlingly eye-catching.

"What a beautiful wrist guard!"

Su Luoheng picked it up and couldn't help but exclaim in awe.

"Hurry, try it on."

"Just slip it onto your wrist; it'll automatically adjust to fit."

"Like this?"

"Yes."

Su Luoheng followed Ye Lan's instructions and put on the wrist guard. Instantly, a cool sensation traveled from his feet to his head, clearing his mind and sweeping away much of the morning's drowsiness.

"Mom, it feels icy and comfortable~"

"This is a Grade Four defensive soul tool; it can withstand three full-force attacks from a Soul Ancestor."

"A Grade Four soul tool… What about this gem?" Su Luoheng asked, shaking his arm and curiously eyeing the gem.

Ye Lan smiled and gently patted his head as she explained, "It's called the Ice Blue Jade. This Grade Four soul tool is constructed with it as the core. Wearing it during training will make things a bit easier."

Ice Blue Jade, as the name suggests, is as transparent as crystal, soft and delicate. When worn, its cold energy flows through the body, relieving fatigue and nourishing the entire system.

It was perfect for Su Luoheng.

Though it was barely the size of a fingernail, obtaining it wasn't easy. Su Junran had spent a considerable amount of money to acquire it.

The production process was also quite challenging; even for Ye Lan, a Grade Four Soul Engineer, it took nearly two months of effort to complete.
