Douluo: Peerless Light...

What does Chapter 40 mean?
"Roar!" A beast roar soon came in the air.

Minghui looked in the direction of the sound and saw a golden leopard quickly running out from the darkness. It was as fast as the wind and was three meters away in a few blinks of an eye.

"A top-level agile soul beast with a strength of about 2000. The disciple who absorbs its soul ring probably has legs as his martial soul." Minghui was not in a hurry. He waited for the opponent to kick his legs and jump up first, then he jumped sideways and then turned around to receive a hook punch.

"Bang!" The sound hit the golden leopard's ear and knocked it to the ground on the spot.

He whimpered and shook his head, obviously stunned by the blow.

As an agile soul beast, it instinctively follows its characteristics in life, and the strength of its condensed energy body is not high.

Minghui didn't care about all that. He strictly followed the principle of attacking while you're weak and jumped over to beat the fallen leopard. He raised his leg and stomped hard on the waist where the kidney was, causing the opponent's limbs to stretch straight on the spot.

Seeing this, he bent down, grabbed the leopard's legs and started to throw it down.

It was only a little over two meters long and not heavy, so he just swung it like a sandbag.

But not long after, the golden leopard died before it could accomplish its mission. It accepted its fate and surrendered. It exploded and turned into a ball of golden light, trembling in fear.

Minghui was not vague either. He sat down directly to absorb and attract, still upgrading his third soul ring.

With previous experience, the result was no surprise and it was absorbed quickly. The age of the third soul ring was successfully increased to ten thousand years, and it changed from purple to black.

"Teacher, next one!" He shouted with great pride in his chest.

Soon, another beast spirit ran out.

But what surprised him was that this beast was only a thousand years strong, which puzzled him. The teacher only told him that absorbing a thousand-year-old beast spirit was enough for a disciple to complete the Black Iron level awakening, but he didn't mention the subsequent levels. Did he think it was enough?

But why does he feel like there is still a long way to go?
"No matter what, let's defeat and absorb it first." Minghui murmured to himself, waiting for the opponent to rush over.

Then, activate the third soul skill and solve it easily.

After being promoted to the ten thousand year level, the soul power consumption of his third soul skill was greatly reduced, directly reduced by 50%, and the power was greatly increased. Only the residual soul of the beast spirit with a thousand years of cultivation was affected, and its body seemed to be drained and exhausted, and it was a little difficult to walk.

The result is naturally obvious!
It was also easy to absorb. This time, he chose to increase the age of the first soul ring, and soon upgraded it to the thousand-year level.

All the remaining energy is invested in the second soul ring.

"Why hasn't it awakened yet?" On the other side, Du Bu Si was secretly surprised.

"Teacher, next!" The disciple's voice came quickly.

Du Bu Si pondered for a moment, then released a thousand-year-old beast spirit, which was also easily defeated and absorbed by his disciple.

This time, a faint light finally appeared behind the disciple's head, which was a sign that his martial soul was about to awaken for the second time.

Release another thousand-year-old beast spirit, and the thumb-sized pineal gland shadow will emit a faint silver light.

I gritted my teeth and released another one, and the silver light became much brighter.

The disciple shouted again, and he released it again. The light and shadow of the martial spirit was as bright as a full moon, blooming with brilliant silver light, forming a divergent halo behind the disciple's head, which was extraordinary and magical.

"Teacher, I still feel like it's a little bit lacking." The voice of disciple Minghui came again.

"The potential of my disciple's martial soul is simply incredible!" Du Bu Si was amazed and released another thousand-year-old beast spirit with some trepidation.

Minghui defeated it easily and continued to absorb.

It was just a short while later that I suddenly felt a buzzing sound in my ears, and then my brain suddenly became clear, my thoughts started to flow, some things that I couldn't figure out before suddenly became clear, and things that I couldn't remember suddenly became remembered, and my body also became much lighter at this moment.

It was as if the body had suddenly broken free of some shackles.

This feeling was so wonderful that Minghui almost couldn't help but groan. But he still held back and continued to absorb the remaining energy of the beast spirit. However, after a moment, a clear sense of rejection came, indicating that his martial spirit was completely saturated.

He failed to absorb all the remaining energy, but all the remaining soul was integrated into his main martial soul.

Minghui felt a little regretful, but he still calmed down and felt the changes brought about by the second awakening of his martial soul.

With a thought, he activated the newly gained ability of his martial soul's second awakening. After a careful understanding, he concentrated on feeling the changes in his body, and a mysterious feeling came over him.

He felt that every inch of his body was under his control, and he even had the urge to control the martial spirit in his body. When his martial spirit was activated, he could clearly feel the Guangling Divine Bow martial spirit hidden in the martial spirit space.

The urge to be accessible is incredibly strong.

So he tried to make contact.

The consciousness spread along with the mental power and soon touched the Guangling Divine Bow, and a cool and cold feeling came over it.

He could feel the majestic light and ice dual-attribute energy hidden inside. Going deeper, the Qingluan beast soul hidden inside came into view, and the breeze was refreshing.

Minghui was shocked, and then he remembered that the martial soul itself is a part of the soul master's body, and suddenly he understood something.

The soul controls the brain, which controls the body, and also controls the martial soul hidden in the body. The pineal gland is an important hub connecting the body and the soul. Its function is further enhanced after the completion of evolution, which naturally indicates further control over the body.

As a part of the soul master's body, the martial soul is naturally included in this list.

"Doesn't that mean..." Minghui thought of a possibility and tried it without hesitation.

But after a short while, a look of surprise appeared on his face, but there was a hint of regret in his heart.

Then he opened his eyes.

Teacher Du Bu Si's tough features came into view. His expression was slightly complicated, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Teacher, my martial soul has awakened successfully!" Minghui subconsciously greeted him with a smile on his face.

Du Bu Si came back to his senses immediately, and looked his disciple up and down, as if he was re-examining him. After a while, he sighed and said quietly, "Hui Er, the potential of your martial spirit is incredible. It directly broke the sect's historical record of three thousand years."

"At the same time, it also makes me, the teacher, feel puzzled and even unbelievable."

"Why?" Minghui couldn't help asking.

"Do you remember what I told you before?" Du Bu Si asked, "A second awakening of a Black Iron-level martial spirit usually only requires the absorption of a thousand-year-old beast spirit."

As he spoke, he glanced at the brilliant halo behind his disciple's head, which was formed by the silver light emitted by the pineal gland martial spirit, and continued:
“And this thousand years refers to one thousand years.”

"After that, the bronze level is two thousand years, and the silver level is three thousand years. Of course, the potential of martial spirits varies from person to person, and even awakenings at the same level can vary."

"For silver-level awakening, the highest known absorption record is 5000 years, and my teacher is also among them."

"And you have absorbed more than 9000 years of energy, which is equal to the total age of your martial spirit rings before you came here. Hui'er, do you know what this means?"

It means I am gifted, awesome, Minghui thought, but his face was full of curiosity, and he asked humbly, "Teacher, what does this mean?"

"It means that the quality and potential of your martial soul are twice as high as your physical fitness." Du Bu Si raised his voice, "In this case, it is impossible for the martial soul to fully awaken. Even if it awakens, it will undergo malignant mutations, causing the martial soul to degenerate."

"It's like an embryo that doesn't get any nutrition in the womb. When it's born, it will be light, weak, and prone to illness."

Your physical foundation is too poor to allow you to awaken such an awesome martial spirit. Minghui understands it in seconds.

Isn't that the case with Yu Xiaogang? The Golden Holy Dragon degenerated into Luo Sanpao. If it weren't for Tang San sending him the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma, he would never have been able to break through to level 30 in his lifetime.
