Fights Break Sphere: I am not Xiao Yan

Chapter 133 Mortal Realm Levels (recommended to skip)

"The Soul Palace guardians are usually single, and only a few can be registered under the name of the elder."

"To put it bluntly, those guys are just consumables raised by the Soul Palace, scattered around collecting souls. As long as they can bring back the souls, they can exchange them for rewards. If they can't, they will be left to fend for themselves."

Yao Lao pointed at his own soul and said, "Their souls are kept alive by a special technique, and they need to be constantly replenished with soul essence in order to function normally."

"It is precisely these two demands that force them to desperately stir up conflicts among nations and travel endlessly for years. Unless they make great achievements, they can successfully break free from this deadly cycle."

Uh……

Xiao Yan was somewhat stunned: "From the looks of it, the management system of the Soul Palace is quite loose? There should be a lot of loopholes that can be exploited!"

This can even be considered as a free-range approach, with no organization at all and all business operations are advanced entirely by self-consciousness.

However, considering that the Douqi Continent is a world that emphasizes individual strength, this way of employing people seems to be particularly successful. At least all the protectors are model workers.

If you don’t work hard, you will die!
If someone tries to escape... that's great, it can be counted as a colleague's achievement.

Perhaps his former companions were extremely grateful for betraying him, thanking him profusely for his heroic sacrifice, which saved everyone half a year of hard work.

"Of course. These guys who are just trying to survive have no bottom line. This organization that was born to do evil naturally has no rules."

Yao Lao spread his hands and said, "As long as there is someone behind them, they will kill their colleagues. It is common for them to snatch merits and devour their companions. It is even common for them to use their own souls to replace the guardian positions."

There were even alchemists who witnessed the guardians who besieged him stabbing each other and devouring each other's souls to replenish their consumption, although in the end they still failed to capture him who was waiting for his elders to rescue him.

I don’t know whether those protectors were punished after the news spread.
'Wait, take over the position!'

Xiao Yan suddenly grasped the key point, and stared at Yao Lao with shining eyes: "Then teacher, is there such a possibility...

"Can we find a way to get a guardian position and participate in the Soul Palace's plan?"

The principle that it is darkest under the lamp applies everywhere.

Although the Soul Palace lets things run wild on a daily basis, when the real big move comes, all the stakes will definitely be mobilized, and it will be much easier to intercept intelligence by then.

Maybe we can use this opportunity to catch a few lone Dou Zun and deal with them one by one.

"It is theoretically feasible. A group of pharmacists have tried this trick before, but you can probably guess the result."

Yao Lao sighed: "If you want to join the company, you have to leave a mark on your soul. Even if you are a decent person, you will become undecent after such a torment in the depths of your soul."

Ah this...

Xiao Yan was a little discouraged for a moment. It turned out that he had overestimated the Soul Palace.

Although the soul system of the entire Douqi Continent has collapsed, the Soul Clan, as a family with a long heritage, may still be able to retain some fragments. The technology that can revive souls alone proves everything.

There's even a Deadly Silence Gate waiting to make its debut.

The technical difficulty of this thing is probably no less than that of the Soul-Devouring Life-Destroying Array. The requirement of 'preserving the immortal souls and fighting spirit of several high-level Douluo' is enough to give a strong man like Gu Yuan a headache.

It can’t be sealed. It really can’t be sealed.

At that level, ordinary sealing techniques could not limit the loss of fighting spirit, let alone the several corpses killed by Xiao Xuan.

"But~"

Yao Lao suddenly took a deep breath and said, "The Soul Palace's seal does not have any ability to force control. As long as there is a soul willing to sacrifice, we can successfully drive a nail inside."

"The premise is that this person has a noble character and a strong will, and can maintain normal thinking in an organization full of psychopaths."

'So all your hopes are pinned on others!'

The more Xiao Yan listened, the more unreliable it seemed to him.

Moreover, this method still has a lot of problems. After all, everyone's soul is transparent and exposed, and any changes can be seen at a glance. It is impossible to add a soul imprint and control it.

If such an undercover agent really came out, then we can only trust his character...

No matter what he said or did, no one outside could control it.

"What if he tells us everything one day? Wouldn't that mean we're doomed?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but cover his face. At that time, a Dou Zun strongman would directly take action to suppress it. Who could stop it?

Even if Yao Lao used his soul as firewood, he would not be able to defeat him.

The only hope is to join Danta in advance.

But on second thought, Danta, who is the number one on the surface, is exactly like the ancient clan. All his actions have always been loud but little action, and have no impact on the Soul Palace at all.

Yao Lao is the best example...

He was the best alchemist in the continent certified by Danta, but he was attacked by the Soul Palace right under his nose, causing his death. Did Danta stand up and show his ability at that time?

"Danta's protection of alchemists is like air. You know it exists around you, but you also know it is useless in blocking danger."

"Let's skip this for now. Where can we find such a righteous person... Moreover, when we reach Zhongzhou, the intelligence we have obtained will be of little significance."

Xiao Yan scratched his head in annoyance: "The main executives of Zhongzhou should be the elders, right? Among the guardians, unless you are a high-level Dou Zong, you don't even have the qualifications to participate in the plan, right?"

Although there are only about a hundred or eighty Dou Zuns in Zhongzhou in public, there are at least three to five hundred active in secret. If you include those sent out by various hidden forces, it will not be a problem to get six to seven hundred.

If an ordinary guardian comes here and still wants to stir up trouble, he is simply seeking death.

"You can't say that. Daily chores and small-scale assassinations against geniuses and seventh-grade alchemists all require guardians to do. They can at least get some intelligence."

Yao Lao said this with some emotion: "Of course~ If the alchemist can master the skills of soul attack, perhaps there won't be so many problems."

The combat power of all Danta members has soared, and each of them is a god of war who can fight and resist.

'No, there will be more!'

Xiao Yan's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he was terrified by Yao Lao's dangerous thoughts.

The Soul Clan has some accumulated foundation for thousands of years. Just one nine-star alchemist, Hun Xuzi, can train a large number of high-level alchemists.

If the soul attack technique still exists, the Soul Clan will only become stronger.

Even the guardians who patrolled daily could improve their combat power, not to mention the main family? By that time, a head-on fight would be enough to wipe out the entire continent, and the six imperial clans would have been exiled with the Xiao family for eight lifetimes.

"Forget it, that's a bit off topic."

Yao Lao held his forehead against his head and threw away all the distracting thoughts: "Anyway, the Soul Palace guardians will just kill you. They will chop one down if they see one. The guardians outside Zhongzhou didn't send any jade slips at all. The Soul Palace can't even find out who killed them."

"But if we get to Zhongzhou, we should run away if we can. Don't waste too much time with them, in case they call in some high-level warriors to help us."

"But...if you really want to get information~"

Yao Lao looked in the direction of Yunlan Sect from afar: "Master may be able to think of some solutions."

It just so happens that he now needs a lot of experimental subjects to study the feasibility of soul cultivation methods. Souls like Dou Zong, who are close to the spiritual realm, are extremely suitable. "Then please."

Xiao Yan let out a long sigh, feeling a little relieved.

"Don't be so quick to relax... I have something else I need your help with!"

Yao Lao chuckled twice, took out the carefully written scroll and opened it: "I have been full of inspiration recently, and I need you to practice what I just built."

This thing…

Xiao Yan moved his lips, but ultimately did not dare to tell the truth.

The scroll in Yao Lao's hand was full of deletions, revisions, and additions, with multiple versions written together for easy comparison. Yao Lao himself felt comfortable reading it, but Xiao Yan might not feel the same way.

After taking a quick look at the content, he even discovered that Yao Lao had added a part about the body's meridians into the practice process, but he didn't know what the purpose was.

“Does this thing really work?”

Xiao Yan didn't know how many times he asked this question.

Regardless of whether the technique was good or not, just the appearance of the technique made him feel insecure.

"Why don't you try it yourself and find out?"

Yao Lao closed the scroll and slapped it into Xiao Yan's arms: "Try it bravely and practice with confidence. How can I, an old man, harm you?"

……

"The six consciousnesses and five senses are fixed in the body..."

After reading this long and difficult to understand introduction, Xiao Yan finally understood what Yao Lao meant.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a soul when one moves from a completely ordinary person to a person with fighting spirit. The soul is fused with the body and cannot be separated from it.

For example, the so-called sense of consciousness is the product of this fusion.

'While condensing the fighting energy, the practitioner will also master the ability to see within, which is the first time that the senses can exist apart from the physical body.'

Xiao Yan held his breath, clasped his hands together, and cleared his mind.

But this time he did not use any soul power. He just calmed his mind and focused on his own natural perception.

Because his soul power had already been condensed, his progress was extremely fast. In just a few breaths, independent perception emerged from the depths of his mind, reflecting the condition of his meridians in his mind.

"This is the first level that the teacher ranked... I feel that it is not suitable as an independent realm, just like the fighting spirit."

Xiao Yan had not yet felt it carefully when he had already succeeded. Although it was still soul power in essence, it seemed clearer and easier to control after being cultivated with the techniques.

'Just like when I was accumulating Dou Qi before, without using any skills, Dou Qi was not only extremely superficial, but also wild and difficult to tame. The same is true for soul power.'

"Huh? Success so quickly?"

Yao Lao circled around Xiao Yan who had opened his eyes twice and said: "It seems that you have a certain realm. You only need to fill in the progress when practicing. It won't take too much energy."

"Keep going... The further you go, the more you will be impressed by my extraordinary talent!"

You shameless old man.

Xiao Yan glanced at him speechlessly and looked at the introduction to the second floor.

Yao Lao divided the three realms from fighter to great fighter into two levels. This is because when one reaches a high-level fighter, part of the fighting spirit fluid has begun to harden, and soul power is needed to support a template framework.

If one cannot 'imagine' a shape that can serve as a foundation, the Dou Qi armor will naturally not be able to condense.

"This... is handled very exquisitely."

As someone who had been suppressed in the Fighting Master realm for two or three years, Xiao Yan naturally understood the changes in this realm the best. It only took him a cup of tea to adapt to this set of exercises.

"Snapped."

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and pointed towards the air. The liquid Dou Qi surging on his body took on the form of thin flowing gauze, forming thousands of layers and thousands of layers, forming a set of neatly overlapping gauze skirts that fell into his palm.

'It seems that the control over the fighting spirit has been significantly improved!'

Different from the unclear state he was in before, Xiao Yan now clearly felt his soul power, as if it was bound in something and running along a specific trajectory.

It was as if my arms were wrapped in bandages, giving me a sense of leverage, increasing my power by two points.

"Crack!"

He turned his palm over again, and the heavy Dou Qi armor attached to his arm. The fine lines as thin as mosquito eyelashes covered every corner, making the surface of the armor appear to have a gray and matte texture.

"But this is far from enough. We are still a long way from letting the soul power exert its actual power."

Xiao Yan’s gaze fell on the fourth floor further back.

Corresponding to Douling!

He understood from the beginning that the soul in this realm had definitely undergone a profound qualitative change, but due to limited conditions, he was unable to study and derive spiritual principles.

"Condensation, summoning fire spirits, the corresponding abilities are..."

Xiao Yan's expression suddenly became a little strange, and he looked at Yao Lao uncertainly: "Teacher, are you serious?"

I saw that the scroll clearly said: 'Attract your own spiritual energy'.

"You actually doubted me?"

Yao Lao snorted twice with a sullen face, and then slowly explained to him: "Think about the gathering of spirits by the strange fire and you will understand. All beings in this world that have intelligence and souls have a little spiritual energy within them, which is the so-called spiritual light."

"According to the old man's recent research results, if you want to absorb spiritual energy to advance to the spiritual realm, the first requirement is to activate it. If you can't do that, then you won't be able to gather spiritual energy at all!"

Xiao Yan was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed.

"The Ultimate Soul..."

After reciting a few nameless mantras, the soul transformed by the technique saw the light spots in the body for the first time.

"It's actually like this!"

Xiao Yan opened his eyes wide. He finally understood why this mysterious mantra in the original novel was so effective just by reciting it.

Because this is used to attract spiritual energy, and it just so happens that every person with a brain has spiritual energy in their body...

“Originally, I was planning to set up a process of visualizing myself, but after careful consideration, I decided to just add this mantra directly in.”

Yao Lao seemed a little discouraged: "I don't know who left this sentence. No matter how I set up the method, the effect is not as good as directly reciting it."
