Pulled from the discussion doc:
Shak: heya guys long time no shee~ was at a tournament for the last 2 days so finally back and read all the stuff till now and damn nice stuff thx bagel.
Now for the stuff that has happened in the novel one thing which is fairly easy to deduce and i think it isn't really noteworthy to mention, but i want to ^^ has a lot to do with the title of last chapter.
No one knows what the heck happened to tang san with the spider legs an all right?
One thing i can think of as everyone probably guessed pretty much is that that some spirit master in history got an upgrade to their spirits which they probably called evolution that can happen to any spiritmaster like evolving from dagger to military knife or sword or going from short bow to long bow, kitten to tiger
Thevampirate: look at the next chapter title for a spoiler on what it is, grand master knows what it is. Spirits naturally can change slightly with each ring however its not going to go from a dagger to a Scimitar but it might get a little larger. Notice that they talk about the changes in Tang’s grass with each ring.
Shak: y i understand that part but that was kinda normal till now but the spider legs are far more than a slight change in appearance color etc i was talking about real evolution oh stupid of me u meant only for tool spirits, that is a possibility.
TheVampirate: Ah yes, the legs have nothing to do with his ability
Shak: ok that is cewl ~ as the last chapter had the tile “Post evolution” i get the idea either he will complete the evolution with the next ring aka 4th one or he will just need to sleep and eat a few days and cultivate a bit to be fully evolve only thing i don't know how far an evolution can go spider legs much?? like my previous example i seriously don't know if its 100% just speculation
TheVampirate: The “Post-Evoluton Might” was refering to his abilities and change in spirit post 3rd spirit evolution. “Chapter 38:Externally Attached Spirit Bone” might have more in store about the external parts.
Shak: but “post” means the calm before the storm so if that was the case shouldn't they say tang san evolved or something why the post-evolution?
TheVampirate:Post meaning after, like Pre-evolution vs Post-evolution.
Shak: i seriously hope the condition as evolving exists in doulou world otherwise it feels like the author loves tang san to much as spider legs is freaking op.
Imyvis: I dont think there is an Evolution Theory in Douluo world as that Spirit completly change or upgrade over a certain point
TheVampirate: There’s no evolution like changing spirits but you can kind of evolve spirits in your offspring with variation spirits.
Shak: Think of it this way guys we arent even thru 1/10th of the story we don't even know anything about twin spirits it is highly possible that everything that happens after 3rd spirit ring will reveal some rules we don't know of like tang san being able to infuse his hammer with spirit rings so the Spirit theorie as we know it is may-be only 1/100th of what we know(even getting 100th rank can mean changing in a human/spirit).
TheVampirate: I think Grandmaster was just talking about that in the previous chapter how its fixed at birth. Also Grandmaster did some talking about the twin spirits early on but it wasnt super detailed.
Shak:the grand master towards the end of his conversation with flander said something like it could be that !! and flander was like u dont mean? and grandmaster was like hm can't be sure till i see him, so i think he has an idea about something quite rare that some people do know of but they haven't mentioned it yet and then grandmaster said u dont know anything about tang sans potential yet i would not become his teacher if he only had blue spirit grass ^^.
TheVampirate: That was referring to his twin spirits and I believe he was talking to flander about the benefits of having two
Shak: grandmaster would not refer to twin spirits if they were talking about his spider legs if he said “it could be that”(btw i do sound a bit matter of fact just being me).
