Chapter 10: Illusion Brain Douluo Han Tianyi, The Secret of the Body and Secondary Awakening
"Wow, wow, Zhao Xuanzhen, you live on a whole floor!"
Returning to the Spirit Tower, as soon as her toes stepped into the ninety-ninth floor, Xiang Xiang Naer's eyes shone, and she looked at Zhao Xuanzhen excitedly.
"Yeah, what's so fresh about that."
Zhao Xuanzhen replied calmly. The only designated direct disciple of Tianfeng Douluo, what's wrong with being luxurious!
Entering the door is a living room spacious enough to play 'ghost catch,' bookshelves stand by the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the neatly arranged ancient books are dyed white by the moonlight. Looking at Shi Shi Laike City in the distance, the crowd is surging on the street like ants.
Zhao Xuanzhen is accustomed to everything here, but Xiang Xiang Naer seems to have opened a 'Brave New World.' The girl is like a 'Husky off the leash,' jumping and bouncing to watch everywhere. Humans are truly rich and horizontal; that Star Dou Great Forest, even dogs don't go there!
On the way back to the Spirit Tower, Xiang Xiang Naer learned the identities of Zhao Xuanzhen and Leng Yaozhu. Meeting the master and disciple of the Spirit Tower Deputy Tower Master by luck, it's no wonder that the plant-type soul beast king took the initiative to retreat.
The Star Dou Great Forest pursued and hunted everywhere, forcing her to become the fusion material for the Silver Long Wang, while the Spirit Tower provides food, housing, and soul spirits, has power, influence, and money. Xiang Xiang Naer simply threw away her soul beast identity and embraced a new human life!
Lesson one, forget your roots!
The ninety-ninth floor is a luxurious flat with many rooms. After asking for Zhao Xuanzhen's consent, Leng Yaozhu let Xiang Xiang Naer live in.
The two little guys are of similar age, both geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power. Leng Yaozhu expects them to grow up together, and Xiang Xiang Naer will be Zhao Xuanzhen's right-hand man in the future.
"Xiang Xiang Naer, you live next door to me. Teacher will take you to fuse with your first soul spirit tomorrow morning." Zhao Xuanzhen reminded.
"You are so good!"
Xiang Xiang Naer cheered, turned, and rushed into the bathroom to wash away the fatigue of the whole night.
Zhao Xuanzhen sat on the sofa in the living room, thinking about the plot changes in his memory. The Silver Long Wang split into two halves in advance. Now that Xiang Xiang Naer has joined the Spirit Tower, where is the other half of the Silver Long Wang, Gu Yue?
Aolai City, Haicheng, Star Dou Great Forest... various possibilities flashed through Zhao Xuanzhen's mind.
Although the Silver Long Wang split into two, the power was not evenly distributed. Xiang Xiang Naer only occupied thirty percent of the strength and the companion artifact Bai Yin Dragon Spear, while Gu Yue had a full seventy percent, twice as much as Xiang Xiang Naer!
Besides, looking at Xiang Xiang Naer's lively and cheerful appearance, she clearly didn't lose her memory, and Gu Yue was probably the same.
Then the trouble is coming. Compared to Xiang Xiang Naer, who is mainly human, Gu Yue, who has complete memory and is biased toward beast nature, is too dangerous!
"If this Gu Yue catches Tang Wulin, he's really fried. It's inevitable that his 'Supreme Bone' will be dug out..."
Zhao Xuanzhen smacked his lips, then suddenly found a 'blind spot.' Tang Wulin has Old Tang protecting him, and that Trident thing is not a vegetarian. It's hard to say who digs whose Supreme Bone!
"Whatever, it has nothing to do with me anyway..."
"Zhao Xuanzhen! Zhao Xuanzhen!"
A crisp and cheerful voice rang out suddenly, interrupting his thoughts. Zhao Xuanzhen raised his eyes and looked over. Xiang Xiang Naer was walking out of the bathroom in slippers, wearing a pure white nightdress, her silver hair scattered behind her, and her pink and tender skin seemed to be able to squeeze out water with a light pinch.
Lolicon, please go to the entrance of the village to collect two shots. Zhao Xuanzhen is a gentleman, with no waves in his heart.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm hungry!"
Xiang Xiang Naer walked toward Zhao Xuanzhen. The girl was as pink and jade-carved as a porcelain doll, and a pleasant scent of shower gel drifted from her body.
"Didn't you just finish three catties of chicken cartilage?"
"Not enough, thirty catties would be about right." Xiang Xiang Naer said pitifully. "You promised room and board, you won't go back on your word just because I can eat..."
Zhao Xuanzhen almost laughed out of anger, shook his head, took out bags of special snacks from the drawer, and threw them to Xiang Xiang Naer.
"Eat whatever you want."
Shi Laike hearing celestial music, Xiang Xiang Naer swore that these three words were ten thousand times more pleasant than any love words in the world!
Beef jerky, tear it open, chew, chew, chew!
Five-kernel filling pastry, 'Awoo Awoo,' chew, chew, chew!
Thousand-layer cake, cilantro flavor. Xiang Xiang Naer hesitated for a second, closed her eyes, threw it into her mouth, and swallowed it directly without chewing!
Don't look at the girl's innocent appearance; she was a 'whirlwind' when eating. Her seemingly petite body was simply a bottomless pit. Her mouth didn't stop for a moment, and the snacks Zhao Xuanzhen had accumulated disappeared quickly!
Xiang Xiang Naer was clearly a staunch supporter of the 'clean plate action.' In a short while, the food was eaten clean, as if it had never existed at all. Her small hand gently stroked her bulging stomach, and the warmth in her stomach was extremely comfortable.
Both the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings are legendary 'big stomach kings,' needing a large amount of food to accelerate growth. Xiang Xiang Naer's demand and love for food were comparable to the female version of Tang Wulin!
Why did Tang Wulin's foster parents almost go bankrupt in just three years? Raising two dragons at the same time is too difficult!
As the 'chief rich tycoon' among the four major super powers, the Spirit Tower has a lot of say in money. It's just a little bit of ingredients, a drop in the bucket. It's a blessing that the child can eat!
Xiang Xiang Naer was full and leaned against the sofa, laughing and chatting with Zhao Xuanzhen: "Senior Tianfeng said you awakened the body martial soul True Self, with extremely strong combat power, but you also need to absorb energy from food to maintain daily physical consumption."
"Yes." Zhao Xuanzhen agreed.
"Then you've eaten it all, what about you..." 【10-
Xiang Xiang Naer suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and reflected deeply within herself!
"What to do?" Zhao Xuanzhen was startled, then said as a matter of course, "I'm having a late-night snack."
A knock on the door sounded at the right moment. Zhao Xuanzhen opened the door to reveal the twin sisters, Bai Haoze and Bai Zhichen, pushing a food cart filled with a dazzling array of dishes!
Xiang Xiang Naer's eyes instantly turned into dots; not cool, bro!
You should have said there was a late-night snack earlier!
Do you have any idea how hard I had to work to swallow that cilantro mille-feuille pancake!
Bai Haoze set down the fragrant delicacies while Bai Zhichen announced the names of the dishes:
"Golden Supreme Fried Rice, Emerald Cloud Silk Braised Swallow's Nest, Frost-Kissed Moon Star Grouper, Dome Lava Golden Soup...
Eat slowly, we're leaving."
"Goodnight, Big Sister Bai, Little Sister Bai."
The Bai sisters left with the food cart. Before leaving, they pretended to glance at Xiang Xiang Naer inadvertently, secretly wondering how a strange little girl had suddenly moved into Zhao Xuanzhen's room.
After the two left, Zhao Xuanzhen prepared to dig in. The food brought by the Bai sisters was top-tier cuisine from the continent, prepared by Spirit Tower chefs using various rare ingredients, containing rich and abundant energy that ordinary food could never compare to.
With those silver eyes staring straight at Zhao Xuanzhen and the food that looked incredibly delicious, Xiang Xiang Naer's mouth was frantically secreting saliva. Resisting the instinct to pounce and feast, she said with difficulty:
"You go ahead and eat, I'm full... *slurp! *"
"I ordered a double portion."
"Then I'll eat just a tiny bit more!"
The next day.
Xiang Xiang Naer crawled out from under the quilt, her eyes hazy with sleep, a strand of silver hair sticking up mischievously. To celebrate her rebirth, she hadn't meditated or cultivated last night, but instead enjoyed a night in the comfortable bed of the human world.
"Sob sob sob, the world outside the quilt is so cruel!"
It took Xiang Xiang Naer two and a half minutes to convince herself to get up. After getting dressed and opening the door, she found the entire ninety-ninth floor empty, with only steaming breakfast remaining, while Zhao Xuanzhen had already left.
"Eh, let me try human high-tech!"
A phone-like soul guidance device appeared in Xiang Xiang Naer's palm—it was the latest model of soul guidance communicator. Finding Zhao Xuanzhen's chat box, Xiang Xiang Naer sent three messages in a row, and Zhao Xuanzhen replied instantly.
Na: Zhao Xuanzhen, Zhao Xuanzhen, Zhao Xuanzhen!
Zhen: New classmate, don't spam!
Na: Where are you?
Zhen: Seventy-eighth floor.
Na: I'll come find you after I finish fusing my soul spirit!
Tapping out a line of text, Zhao Xuanzhen put away the soul guidance communicator and stepped into a passage wreathed in colorful light.
The sun and moon hung in the sky in different phases, and light flurries like peacock feathers floated in the air, turning into fine stardust upon touching the skin.
Flocks of blue phoenixes trailed tails woven from rosy clouds as they swept across the horizon. Each time they flapped their wings, tiny specks of brilliance shook from the gaps in their feathers, condensing into a glazed rainbow path in mid-air.
The ground beneath Zhao Xuanzhen's feet was like a mirror; light patterns bloomed like unfolding water lilies, filled with liquid iridescence, refracting his reflection into seven colors.
Spirit Tower, seventy-eighth floor, Illusionary Realm.
The Illusionary Realm constantly exerted mental pressure; Spirit Tower soul masters would come here to temper their mental power, and it was also the place where a Limit Douluo had been in seclusion for years!
"Elder Han."
Zhao Xuanzhen performed a junior's salute, his voice carrying far.
"Hum—"
The Illusionary Realm suddenly rippled, and a tall, elderly man descended from the sky.
Illusion Brain Douluo Han Tianyi!
A ninety-eighth-rank Title Douluo, with a brain martial soul, the number one person in the Spirit Tower for mental realms, a four-character Doukai master, and a ninth-rank mecha repairman!
Han Tianyi's first impression on Zhao Xuanzhen was that of a stern and rigid person, but his subsequent tone was exceptionally kind.
"Body martial souls are rare on the Douluo Continent. I didn't expect Lady Tianfeng's disciple to have such extraordinary talent, awakening the god-level martial soul that only existed in theory within the body lineage: True Self.
I understand the deep meaning behind Lady Tianfeng asking me to teach you mecha repair. Frankly speaking, I truly cannot refuse the temptation of polishing a peerless piece of raw jade. From now on, I will also help you develop the mental brain domain of your True Self martial soul."
"Thank you for your trouble, Elder Han."
Han Tianyi laughed: "We achieve success together. History books and biographies will record the brilliance of your life, Zhao Xuanzhen, and they will also be accompanied by the name of Illusion Brain Douluo.
No rush to start the lesson; let me first talk about our martial soul, the body martial soul!"
The brain was naturally one of the body martial souls. Once upon a time, all body martial soul users in the world were like family. Han Tianyi felt a natural closeness to Zhao Xuanzhen and said slowly:
"As a part of the human body, the body martial soul is a third party independent of beast martial souls and tool martial souls. Some soul master scholars believe that the body martial soul is the martial soul humans should most awaken.
I strongly agree with this view. The compatibility between a body martial soul and a soul master is naturally extremely high, giving body soul masters a talent that generally far exceeds others. Moreover, the attributes of high-rank body martial souls are also incredibly powerful, such as the poison attribute of the two heroes of the Benti Sect ten thousand years ago, my mental attribute, and your yin-yang attribute."
Han Tianyi had requested Zhao Xuanzhen's combat footage from the Spirit Ascension Platform, had a basic understanding of his abilities, and continued: "When mentioning body martial souls, there are two points that cannot be bypassed. One of them is the Benti Sect I just mentioned.
The Benti Sect has been passed down for ten thousand years. In the past, it confronted the Shi Shi Laike Academy and once held the upper hand. Unfortunately, it flourished and then declined during the era of the ancestor Poison Undying, and the Benti Sect gradually headed toward decline.
The current sect master of the Benti Sect is my grand-nephew. He is obsessed with red-grade mechas and has been unable to break through to a ninety-fifth-rank Super Douluo his entire life."
"Grand-nephew." Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes flickered, "Elder Han was once part of the Benti Sect?"
Han Tianyi nodded: "To this day, I still feel grateful for the Benti Sect's cultivation of me. Leaving the sect was truly for cultivation. If I want to make my illusions indistinguishable from reality and reach a higher level, I must come into contact with real high-rank soul beasts.
Only the Spirit Tower could help me achieve my wish. Later, I joined the Spirit Tower under the recommendation of Lady Tianfeng's father, the old vice tower master."
Zhao Xuanzhen showed a look of sudden realization. Han Tianyi's path to perfecting his illusions was still understandable, but the other Benti Sect member, the Smiling Douluo Hu Jie, known for his golden belly and silver buttocks, was more abstract—unrequited love, wounded by emotion, he left the Benti Sect and defected to Tang Men.
"After the Benti Sect, the second point that cannot be bypassed regarding body martial souls is..."
Han Tianyi's aura changed drastically; a powerful mental fluctuation swept through the Illusionary Realm. Behind his aged body, a silver brain appeared imposingly!
"Secondary awakening!"
Zhao Xuanzhen blurted out.
"Not bad."
The silver brain appeared and vanished in an instant. Han Tianyi said: "Secondary awakening is the root of why the body lineage crushes ninety-nine percent of the martial souls in the world. It is divided into four levels: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
As you can see, my Illusion Brain is a Silver-level secondary awakening. For those who have not cultivated the secret techniques passed down by the sect master, Silver-level is the peak of secondary awakening. However, True Self is a combination of flesh and spirit; I don't know if it can break through the limit."
Zhao Xuanzhen's gaze gradually became burning hot. The next second, a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.
Han Tianyi said helplessly: "Secondary awakening is a top secret of the Benti Sect. When I left the Benti Sect back then, I swore an oath with my brain martial soul that I would never pass on secondary awakening to others privately for the rest of my life, so this secret method is the only thing I cannot teach you."
Zhao Xuanzhen's temple twitched; the most important thing had a restriction!
Fine, after all, it is the foundation of the Benti Sect; it's reasonable.
This little trouble couldn't stump Zhao Xuanzhen. There are always more solutions than difficulties; at worst, he could learn from Tang Wulin and start deep-sea training!
The brain felt Zhao Xuanzhen's mental fluctuations change from restless to calm. Han Tianyi chuckled and said: "Adjusting quickly, excellent temperament.
No need to be overly eager. While secondary awakening is indeed the source of the body's power, wanting to undergo secondary awakening just after awakening your martial soul is still a bit unstable.
You brat, don't be overly ambitious. Concentrating on cultivation and laying a solid foundation during your youth is more important than learning any messy secret methods.
In the Benti Sect's sect rules, a soul master must at least break through to a three-ring Soul Venerable, have a strong body, abundant soul power, and stable spirit before secondary awakening, so as to reduce the danger coefficient of secondary awakening.
Alright, enough about body martial souls; let's officially start class: mecha repair."
"Zhao Xuanzhen, I've come to find you!"
Han Tianyi used illusions to simulate a classroom. Just at this moment, Xiang Xiang Naer burst into the Illusionary Realm.
Looking at the carefree, husky-like girl, Zhao Xuanzhen said secretly: "Elder Han, do you mind adding a student to mecha repair?"
"It doesn't matter to me."
Xiang Xiang Naer fell silent, the bright smile on her pretty face disappearing. She felt regret for her decision to find Zhao Xuanzhen.
"I'm just a passerby!"
She tried to leave.
Leaving failed.
Zhao Xuanzhen blocked the door.
Those who enter no longer have the right to turn back; learning is the only way out.
Xiang Xiang Naer, automatically transferred to mecha repairman!
