Chapter 142: A Brief Discussion

Looking at the small mouse in his hand, Zhou Heng had a strange expression; with a flicker of his thought, the Spirit that supported the core of this mouse was retracted by Zhou Heng.

After losing the cornerstone that was the Spirit, the soul power, mental energy, and life force that had originally gathered into the shape of a mouse began to collapse, gradually differentiating from a single entity into various unrelated parts, which were then re-absorbed by Zhou Heng into his own body.

Watching this scene, Sword Douluo fell silent, Bone Douluo fell silent, and Ning Fengzhi fell silent.

Ning Rongrong and Lou Gao did not understand what had happened, but seeing the deathly silence of the three men including Ning Fengzhi, the old man and the young girl could only keep their mouths shut, pretending to be shocked and silent.

In fact, these two had absolutely no idea what the situation was that had just occurred.

Ning Rongrong lacked the experience, while Lou Gao's thinking was simply too rigid; he could never have imagined that a Spirit Master could actually achieve such a thing.

In the eyes of the two, could that little mouse be some kind of very special soul skill?

In reality, although there are soul skills that can indeed reach a state similar to what Zhou Heng just performed, it was merely similar.

Only Spirit Masters who truly stand at the high levels of the Spirit Master world can understand what that move of Zhou Heng's just meant.

"Just now, you bestowed Spirit upon soul power?"

Spirit Master, Spirit Master. The most important thing for the profession of Spirit Master is soul power.

And the source of soul power is the martial soul, while the martial soul is the manifestation of the soul.

And the Soul Rings required for a Spirit Master to advance are also the result of the manifestation of a Spirit Beast's soul.

It can be said that the profession of Spirit Master, while seemingly relying on soul power, is in reality rooted entirely in the soul.

That move of Zhou Heng's just now was equivalent to cutting off a piece of his own soul in front of Ning Fengzhi and stuffing it into soul power, creating a semi-independent little life.

And then, right before Ning Fengzhi's eyes, he re-attached that small piece of soul he had cut off.

Let alone Ning Fengzhi, even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo felt a bit of admiration in their hearts after watching Zhou Heng's operation just now.

Because even though they are Super Douluo, they have no way to perform a feat similar to Zhou Heng's.

Because this turned into a damn horror movie...

They could guarantee that they would grit their teeth and tear off a piece of their own soul, but they could absolutely not guarantee that this piece of soul could exist independently.

Not to mention re-attaching the torn-off soul as if nothing had happened.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Zhou Heng, silent for a long time; when he raised his head again, the smile on his face was much more sincere.

"Little Heng, I wonder if I might have the honor of hearing your description of martial souls?"

"Naturally, the exploration of martial souls is the common goal of all Spirit Masters."

Zhou Heng smiled and slowly began to speak of his own views.

This was a special perspective; Ning Fengzhi had never imagined that soul power and martial souls could have such a side.

Although Zhou Heng concealed much, only speaking of his superficial views.

Yet, possessing the ability of Spirit, Zhou Heng was naturally higher in perspective than the Spirit Masters on the continent.

That could almost be considered peering into the essence of the Spirit Master profession from the stance of a deity.

Contact with the laws is a huge opportunity that ordinary Spirit Masters might not even encounter once in a lifetime, but for Zhou Heng, it is merely a daily routine.

Some people, even if they come into contact with the laws of the world, might be so thoroughly overwhelmed by the immense knowledge that they become unable to think.

And Zhou Heng clearly had no such problem.

Zhou Heng was able to translate many abstract essences, which were difficult to unearth and even harder to understand, into ways that humans could know.

He could record the second-hand laws that heaven and earth bestowed into Soul Rings, and then change them into third-hand descriptions to tell others.

Although this method is not as good as seeing it directly with one's own eyes, it is much faster and much more accurate than normal comprehension.

As long as one is not like Dugu Bo, whose talent in this area is truly hard to describe, one can basically obtain a huge improvement.

For those Title Douluo above level 95 who have been stuck for a long time due to insufficient insight, it is simply the best shortcut for advancement.

Accompanied by Zhou Heng's narration, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi all listened in silence like ignorant children.

Many problems that had plagued them for decades in their minds were also solved under Zhou Heng's narration.

The first to have an epiphany was Bone Douluo; as his understanding of the essence of Spirit Masters continued to deepen, he, who had been trapped at level 95 for decades,

felt that he seemed to be about to usher in another breakthrough.

Sword Douluo also made progress in his silence, his understanding of the essence of the world gradually deepening.

He felt that his sword path could seemingly advance one step further toward a more profound direction.

Just as the three were listening with rapt attention, feeling as if the door to a new world was gradually opening before them, Zhou Heng suddenly closed his mouth.

Bone Douluo, who felt he was about to break through, sluggishly raised his head and looked into Zhou Heng's eyes, not knowing why Zhou Heng had suddenly stopped.

He was now in a state where he could neither break through nor stop, completely in a state of being cut off at the peak.

Although Sword Douluo was slightly better off, when Zhou Heng stopped, he still experienced some stuttering, and he could not help but feel a bit bewildered.

Ning Fengzhi, who had the lowest level, although he had also listened with great intoxication, was the one who reacted the fastest because his realm was too low.

A short while after Zhou Heng stopped, Ning Fengzhi reacted.

At this moment, the smile on his face was very innocent and very pure.

Unlike the polite expression he had feigned just now, Ning Fengzhi's smile now came entirely from his heart.

At the same time, Ning Fengzhi also understood why Dugu Bo, who had been stuck at level 91 for decades without a breakthrough, had managed to jump three levels in just three years to reach level 95.

It turned out it was all because this Zhou Heng, who was the least noticed, was helping in the dark, which allowed Dugu Bo to break his own limits.

"Little friend Zhou Heng, the insights you spoke of are truly unprecedented; hearing your words is better than reading books for ten years.

Such comprehension of the laws between heaven and earth and the essence of martial souls simply transcends Title Douluo.

I fear that your future achievements will not be inferior to the two peaks of the continent, the Invincible of the Earth and the Invincible of the Sky, or even go a step further."

Looking at Zhou Heng, who sat there as steady as a fisherman on a rock, Ning Fengzhi began to let his imagination run wild.

Win him over? Or just pack him up and take him away?

The thought of killing Zhou Heng only flashed through Ning Fengzhi's mind for an instant before it vanished.

The first reason is that Zhou Heng is not an enemy; revealing his understanding of martial souls in front of him clearly shows he can be won over.

Even if the price to be paid is relatively high, as long as the cost can be met, then for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it is not a problem.
