Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

This silent exchange lasted for more than ten minutes before Long You felt the powerful spiritual force that had filled the entire office subside.

"It truly is a wondrous existence. Alright, I have already guessed the specific reason for what you asked. Next, we will demonstrate it live and verify it."

"Here?"

"Of course it's here. Can the two of you Soul Masters break through Fan Yu's defense, or can you break through my defense? As for destroying my office, don't even think about it."

"Tang Ya, come over here, don't get hurt."

The last time they made such a big fuss, it was entirely due to their martial spirit consciousness controlling their soul skills, so this time Long You and Bei Bei continued to be hands-off managers. They simply gave Xiao Yan and Xiao Guang instructions and then stood in the corner of the office, setting up a soul-guided defensive shield.

A thunderous roar erupted.

In broad daylight, the cascading plasma bathed Qian Duoduo's office in a blue-white light. Although they had retreated to a corner of the office, the soul-guided defensive shield erected by Long You and Bei Bei still flickered under this indiscriminate attack.

Although it wasn't very noticeable under the plasma light, Long You still noticed that his soul-guided defensive shield, whose protective effect was comparable to a level four soul tool, was significantly brighter than usual. This was a sign that the soul-guided defensive shield had begun to operate at full capacity, or even beyond.

Watching the numbers on the specially installed remaining soul power display on the soul guide defense shield plummet, Long You's lips twitched as he began to act as a human charging station.

Five seconds later, the raging plasma began to subside and gradually disappeared into the air. Ten seconds later, the lingering effects of the Soul Master's attack completely vanished. Only then did Long You release the defenses in front of him.

"Not bad, not bad. This power is indeed too strong for a Soul Master. No wonder that old man Yan Shaozhe thought of using a Soul Tool!"

Alright, I already know why this happened.

Before I go into details, I have a question for you: do you understand what Martial Soul Consciousness actually is?

When this question came up, both Bei Bei and Tang Ya were a little confused. If the method for the second awakening of a martial soul really came from the Tang Sect's inheritance, then Tang Ya might be able to say something, but this method was simply something that Long You created by cheating with his martial soul.

In three months, Bei Bei and Tang Ya barely managed to complete the awakening of their martial soul consciousness. They were far from being familiar with their respective martial soul consciousnesses. Therefore, when Qian Duoduo asked, they were immediately dumbfounded.

However, just because the two couldn't answer didn't mean Long You couldn't. Seeing the two frozen in place, Long You had no choice but to step forward slightly and begin to answer:

"According to the students' understanding, the essence of Martial Soul Consciousness is actually Martial Soul. So, if you want to understand what Martial Soul Consciousness is, then what is Martial Soul? And what is the relationship between Martial Soul and Soul Master? These two questions must be clarified."

Let's first talk about what a Martial Soul is. In the students' minds, a Martial Soul is a life form that is born alongside the people of Douluo Continent.

I don't know how others feel when they awaken their martial soul, but during my own martial soul awakening ceremony, I clearly felt the thrill of life being born, and I felt the blood connection between my new martial soul and myself.

From that moment on, I firmly believed that a martial spirit has its own life. Although a martial spirit cannot respond to you clearly and specifically before its consciousness awakens, you can often get feedback from it if you communicate with it sincerely.

The students' understanding of the Martial Soul is that it is an innate life form. So what is the function of the Martial Soul? The students believe that the Martial Soul, which grants innate Soul Power upon awakening, allows those who cultivate to become Soul Masters, serves as a bridge between the people of Douluo Continent and the outside world.

It can be said that the bodies of the people of Douluo Continent nurture their Martial Souls, while the Martial Souls, in turn, nourish the people of Douluo Continent. The relationship between the two is one of interdependence and mutual influence.

At this point, explaining what Martial Soul Consciousness is becomes quite easy. Martial Soul Consciousness is the sign that the Martial Soul has matured, much like a child becoming sensible.

"A rather unique explanation, and also a rather reasonable one. Following your method of explanation, it will be much easier for me to explain as well."

First of all, there is no problem with the fact that the Martial Soul Consciousness is the Martial Soul. So when you and Beibei let the Martial Soul Consciousness release the Soul Skill, it means that the Martial Soul is spontaneously mobilizing its own power.

Then you said that the Martial Soul is a bridge connecting the inside and outside, so when the Martial Soul consciousness releases a Soul Skill, it will habitually use the Soul Ring as a fulcrum to greatly leverage the external elemental power.

It just so happens that you and Beibei use the same kind of soul skill, which means that you are mobilizing the same kind of external power.

Since they are both martial spirits, and their methods of mobilization and their power are the same, wouldn't they naturally merge into one?

This merging of two forces is not simply one plus one, causing the attack areas of the two soul skills to overlap. Rather, it is as if the two forces are attracted to each other, merging into an even more powerful force.

This more powerful force not only affected a wider area, but also directly transformed the soul skills you released into another, even more terrifying soul skill.

Do you understand now?

"I understand now. This is how the Martial Soul Consciousness helps us exploit the free-floating soul power from the outside world."

"Okay, that's it. Alright, the matter is resolved, Xiao You, you don't need to leave. Bei Bei and Tang Ya, go back and rest, you have class this afternoon."

With all the problems that arose during the freshman competition resolved, Long You was ready to embark on a new phase of learning at Shrek Academy.

That evening, after returning to his dormitory, Long You immediately absorbed the soul bone that Qian Duoduo had given him. Forget whale glue, there's no need to buy whale glue; soul bones are the best supplement for improving physical fitness and strength.

The soul bone that Qian Duoduo gave to Long You was produced by a plate-armored rhinoceros soul beast with a cultivation level of 60,000 years.

Although the Plate-Armored Rhinoceros is a herbivorous spirit beast, it is known for its volatile temper. Coupled with its armored body, formidable defense, immense strength, and herd mentality, it is a dominant force in the Spirit Beast Forest and Spirit Beast Grasslands. Ordinary people dare not set their sights on a Plate-Armored Rhinoceros.

However, this also indirectly proves that the soul bones produced by the plate-armored rhinoceros are truly valuable. Take this left arm soul bone, for example. After absorbing it, Long You's physical attributes instantly grew to a level comparable to Bei Bei's.

Moreover, Long You also obtained a top-grade soul skill from this soul bone—the Savage Rhinoceros Plate Armor.
