Chapter 55: Special Ability

Zhou Heng shook his head and rejected this proposal.

"This Star Luo Spirit Pearl is an Immortal Herb with star attributes; it doesn't match my own attributes very well, and consuming it now wouldn't maximize its benefits."

Zhou Heng's plan was to condense his first Soul Core after his Five Elements were complete and his internal organs had finished their transformation; by consuming the Star Luo Spirit Pearl at that time, its effects could be utilized to the maximum extent.

Who knows, if he could acquire a method to use star attributes, wouldn't he have made a huge profit!

At the same time, Zhou Huan also thought of a novel he had read in his past life, in which the ancient Chinese internal alchemy method was mentioned, where essence, Qi, and spirit were combined to achieve the state of "swallowing a single golden elixir into the belly, my fate is determined by me, not by heaven."

It was just that Zhou Heng did not understand how to condense a golden elixir, and this would require him to spend time researching.

Dugu Bo did not care when Zhou Heng would use the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, and instead asked, "Then how do you plan to resolve the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison within Yanyan and me?"

Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "It is better not to resolve the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison; it is related to the power of your Poison Technique. If the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison were to be removed, it would cause your Poison Technique to fail, wouldn't that be a case of the loss outweighing the gain?"

"I have already found the reason for the mutation of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison."

Dugu Bo could not help but become curious and asked, "Why did the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in my body mutate?"

Zhou Heng said, "It is not that the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in your body has mutated, but that everyone in your family who awakens the Bilin Snake Martial Soul will experience this mutation."

The Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison is produced autonomously by the Bilin Snake Martial Soul, primarily to coordinate with your family's Poison Technique for attacks.

However, when you absorb Soul Rings, the Spirit Beasts you choose are also Spirit Beasts that carry poison attributes.

Their toxins combine with the toxins of the Bilin Snake Martial Soul, causing the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison to mutate, slowly spreading throughout your bodies, absorbing the origin of those Spirit Beasts, your body's life force, and even your mental power to strengthen the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison.

This is also the reason why, for so many years in the Dugu Family, apart from you who broke through to the Title Douluo level by a stroke of luck, no one else has reached the Title Douluo level, and there are not even any Spirit Masters at the Spirit Douluo level.

As for the method to solve this problem, my idea is: Qi and Spirit Unite.

By combining mental power and soul power, you can complete the mutated Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison within you, allowing your body to completely accept these Jade Phosphorus Snake Poisons.

In this way, not only can you strengthen the power of your Poison Technique, but you can also acquire all the Spirit Beast origins that the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison has absorbed over these years, in addition to the life force and mental power absorbed from your own body.

According to my speculation, these Spirit Beast origins, life force, and mental power should be able to help you advance to level ninety-four.

Hearing Zhou Heng point out the drawbacks of his family's hereditary martial soul, Dugu Bo sighed repeatedly.

He truly could not have imagined that his family's hereditary Bilin Snake Martial Soul would have such a hidden danger.

He had originally thought that only the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in his own body had mutated.

But now it seemed that the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in Dugu Yan's body had likely mutated as well; it was just that Dugu Yan's current soul power was still low, and the degree of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison's mutation was not high.

This was why he had not noticed that the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in Dugu Yan's body had already mutated when he had investigated it in the past.

Now, after Zhou Heng pointed this out, Dugu Bo also understood why, when he had consulted the research notes on resolving toxin backlash recorded in his family, the research notes of every ancestor were different.

It turned out that the mutation direction of every ancestor was different; if he hadn't found this treasure land by a stroke of luck, he probably wouldn't have been able to reach Title Douluo and would have died long ago when he was at level seventy-something.

"Then how should Yanyan and I master this mutated Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison?" Dugu Bo asked hurriedly.

"Spirit and Qi Unite, combining mental power and soul power into one."

Of course, this means your own will is constantly governing your soul power, with your soul power carrying your mental power.

In this state, a Spirit Master's combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, and even after the soul power leaves the body, it will still have the ability to be controlled multiple times.

When attacking with others' soul power, the mental power carried within your soul power can allow your soul power to have a higher quality and be more advantageous."

Dugu Bo looked at Zhou Heng with a blank expression, his face wearing an expression that said, "What are you talking about?"

Seeing that Dugu Bo truly did not understand his meaning, Zhou Heng lowered his head to think, then held up a mass of soul power on his palm.

Dugu Bo leaned close to Zhou Heng, staring intently at the soul power on Zhou Heng's palm.

Zhou Heng moved his mind, and within Zhou Heng's Sea of Consciousness, mental power surged, flowing toward the soul power in his palm.

On Zhou Heng's palm, within that mass of soul power, a strand of mental power appeared and began to fuse with the soul power; every wisp of soul power would fuse with a wisp of mental power into one.

Zhou Heng actually could not fully master this move; this was just a cultivation method Zhou Heng had learned about over these years from the mouth of his grandmaster, Qian Daoliu.

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others also knew of this method; when conscious, one consumes their own mental power to combine soul power with their will.

Using this method to fuse soul power and will, the completed Spirit and Qi Unite is not perfect, and the consumption of soul power and mental power is extremely high, only able to be maintained for a few minutes.

Moreover, one must make preparations in advance; one cannot complete Spirit and Qi Unite during battle.

Soon, Zhou Heng completed Spirit and Qi Unite, and the soul power held in his palm began to constantly change form under Zhou Heng's control.

This time when Zhou Heng controlled the soul power to change, unlike when he controlled soul power before, which required a delay of several seconds, the soul power completed the change as soon as his mind moved.

No matter how intricate the change, it could be completed in an instant, whether it was a broadsword, a sharp sword, a long spear, or other forms.

Dugu Bo strained his eyes, staring carefully at the soul power constantly changing form in Zhou Heng's hand; under Dugu Bo's observation, every wisp of the soul power in Zhou Heng's hand was changing.

It was not a part of a whole, but rather every wisp of soul power was a whole, forming a larger shape.

Zhou Heng raised his hand, changing the soul power into the form of a bow and arrow; Zhou Heng reached out to draw the longbow, and the bowstring was slowly pulled back.

The next moment, Zhou Heng released his fingers, and the arrow made of soul power flew out.

It flew toward the distance; Dugu Bo watched the flying arrow, not yet understanding what Zhou Heng was doing, when the next moment Dugu Bo saw the arrow, which had already flown dozens of meters away, actually change direction, twisting to the left from the arrowhead, and continue flying.

Then, it tore through the air and nailed itself into a stone; the arrow pierced straight into the stone, with two-thirds of the entire arrow embedded inside.

Dugu Bo looked in shock at the arrow nailed into the stone more than eighty meters away.

Under Dugu Bo's gaze, the arrow deep inside the stone began to slowly dissipate.

After a few breaths, the arrow turned into soul power and dissipated between heaven and earth, being converted into Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, filling the world.
