Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

Instinctively grabbing the Book of Witness from Long You's hand, Bei Bei focused intently on the method for awakening the martial spirit's consciousness described in the book. Upon seeing it, Bei Bei's expression immediately froze, and she couldn't smile anymore.

The Book of Testimony states that awakening the Martial Soul consciousness is not something that can be done in a short time, but rather requires a long and gradual process.

First, you need to have complete trust in your martial spirit and believe that your martial spirit also has a life of its own.

This requires Soul Masters to pay attention to communicating with their Martial Soul during their daily meditation. Even if the Martial Soul has not awakened its own consciousness and cannot respond to the Soul Master, this work cannot stop. Because when the Soul Master's consciousness sincerely communicates with the Martial Soul, it is actually subtly strengthening the Martial Soul's consciousness, a process of embryonic development.

When a Soul Master can feel the pulse emanating from their Martial Soul during meditation or while absorbing a Soul Ring, the embryonic form of their Martial Soul consciousness is considered to have completed its development. This marks the completion of the first step in awakening the Martial Soul consciousness.

For Long You, this step was something he had already completed long ago. Back when his Martial Soul had just awakened, Long You had inadvertently completed an exchange of information with his Martial Soul, through which he learned some of the specific details about his Martial Soul.

Furthermore, the improved Long family meditation method essentially handed over all control of the meditation process to the Martial Soul. When the Martial Soul helps Long You refine and absorb external soul power, it instinctively intercepts a portion of the soul power, using it as nourishment for its own growth.

Therefore, as early as when Long You first absorbed a spirit ring, he was already able to vaguely sense the throbbing of his martial soul. Although at the time, Long You did not realize that it was merely a cry for help from his martial soul's not yet fully developed consciousness.

Long You has already completed the groundwork. Now, if Long You wants to awaken his Martial Soul consciousness and complete the second awakening of his Martial Soul, he only needs to learn from the Body Sect's approach and put himself in a state of absolute crisis.

This crisis could be being hunted down by powerful soul beasts and soul masters, or being under physical pressure that could crush one's body.

In short, Long You is just one step away from mastering this newly perfected meditation technique. With a bit of luck, he can complete it within seven days.

However, Bei Bei, who fantasized about being able to lie down and meditate immediately like Long You, was in trouble. Bei Bei had never done the first step of nurturing a martial soul consciousness embryo before. In other words, Bei Bei needed to start from scratch with real hard work.

"Are you happy? In just two months at most, you'll be welcoming a 'new life' into the world!"

Seeing Bei Bei's expression change several times before finally settling on a bitter smile, Long You delivered the final blow.

"Junior brother, for the sake of the Tang Sect's revitalization, don't keep any secrets from your senior brother!"

"You can't deliberately hide this fact just because you haven't been able to make that final push, preventing your martial spirit from achieving its second awakening sooner, and thus slow down my and Teacher Xiaoya's progress!"

Beibei is Beibei after all. There's a reason why Tang Ya praised her as "cunning and treacherous" three years later. Although she was caught off guard and tricked by Long You, Beibei quickly turned the tables and launched her counterattack.

That's right! Long You completed the first step of awakening his martial soul consciousness long ago. But so many years have passed, and because he didn't know, or rather, didn't think he could complete the second awakening of his martial soul now (Long You had read the original work and knew that martial souls could awaken a second time), he hadn't been able to take the final step. How could Long You not feel heartbroken?

He wasn't about to have a mental breakdown, but Long You still stared at the smiling Bei Bei with deadpan eyes for a while. Only after confirming that this guy really wasn't shy did Long You reluctantly withdraw his gaze and say:

"Have you already read the details of our Long family's inherited cultivation method? Just follow that. After establishing a stable connection with your martial spirit, if you're willing, you can go into your sea of ​​consciousness and chat with your martial spirit from time to time. This process should be a little faster."

However, when I see Teacher Xiaoya tomorrow, I need to ask her if I can tell my parents about the method for the second awakening of a martial soul. I can leave out the part about the soul power circulation meridian diagram involving Tang Sect's secret techniques, but it would be a bit of a shame not to tell them about the method for the second awakening of a martial soul.

After all, my parents have always used my meditation method, so I suppose they've already completed the first step.

"This isn't a big problem. The reason the Xuan Tian Gong was able to undergo this change is because it incorporated the Long family's inherited techniques that you provided. Although Xiao Ya values ​​the Tang Clan's unique skills, she won't refuse such a reasonable request that doesn't actually involve the Tang Clan's unique skills."

Just as Bei Bei said, this newly developed, evolved meditation technique is clearly a combination of the strengths of various methods. The source of this method for the secondary awakening of martial spirits is the meditation method provided by Long You.

In view of this, Long You no longer hesitated and nodded to Bei Bei, saying, "Okay, you can start. I still need to make some preparations. It's not easy to grasp the degree of experiencing a life-or-death crisis without actually being killed, but physical pressure is relatively easy to solve."

However, judging from the results of this Witness Book's martial soul deduction and optimization, although the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record can effectively improve the meditation efficiency of soul masters, the Mysterious Heaven Skill was brought to this Douluo Continent world by Tang San from a world without martial souls. It is an outsider and is somewhat unsuited to the local environment.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill contains intricate information about the human body's meridians and energy circulation routes, truly deserving its title as a top-tier martial art. However, the Mysterious Heaven Skill essentially offers no research on martial spirits.

For Soul Masters in the Douluo Continent, their Martial Soul is an inseparable part of their existence. To disregard the aid of one's Martial Soul during meditation would seem like a waste.

However, this also indirectly proves that the diagram of human meridian circulation recorded in the Xuan Tian Gong is indeed powerful. After all, the Xuan Tian Gong, which only has one leg, has still managed to become the strongest martial art on the continent.

Therefore, the Book of Witnesses deduced that the newly created cultivation method's soul power circulation path was basically copied from the Xuan Tian Gong's soul power circulation path.

When meditating, one can circulate the Great Heavenly Circuit, which transforms and generates a balanced, harmonious, and continuous Soul Power within the Soul Master's body. When fighting, one can circulate the Small Heavenly Circuit, which includes the original Small Heavenly Circuit of the Mysterious Heavenly Art, as well as a completely new Small Heavenly Circuit route generated by referencing the techniques of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan.

Following the Xuan Tian Gong method yields few special effects. However, if one circulates their soul power according to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's Small Heavenly Circuit, then the soul skills used by the soul master, and even attacks launched by manipulating soul tools, will carry a trace of lightning power.
