Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

Lin Yu gave this last-minute reminder because he felt that what came from a senior didn't necessarily have to be scheming.

Having lived two lives, it's normal that I wasn't affected when I was inexplicably targeted on the day I arrived.

But what about the others? You know, there are quite a few orphans in Wuhun City. If this joke touches on some sensitive, fragile, and stubborn individuals, it could have serious consequences.

His own reminder, "Running is tiring, so don't activate your Martial Soul at the beginning," seemed like a joke at first glance.

If we delve deeper, we can help Soul Masters recognize the difference between Soul Power and Physical Strength sooner: Physical Strength is the foundation, while Soul Power is at best fuel.

If your physical strength fails and you give out prematurely, even abundant soul power won't help.

My well-intentioned lie may offer some guidance to future students.

The homeroom teacher, who was temporarily acting as referee, suddenly fell silent, and a group of veteran students rushed out first.

Before the newcomers could even react, the veteran students who had rushed out ahead of them had already completed their Martial Soul Possession.

However, there is one exception.

The senior who had just reminded them "not to activate their martial souls yet" did not activate his martial soul.

Although he was slower than the others, he remained calm and ran steadily.

Should we activate our martial spirit and chase after them immediately?

Those who had just been scammed naturally wouldn't be fooled again by the veteran students.

then……

Wei Min, somewhat helplessly, helped the disheveled Hu Liena to the side to rest.

Wei Min naturally knew the problem with Lin Yu's words, and also understood Lin Yu's good intentions.

But seriously... are there really people so naive as to believe such nonsense?

Can't you sense the extent to which your own body has reached? When you're almost out of breath, your martial spirit possesses you, and even after failing once, you forcefully possess it again.

If you're extremely exhausted and insist on doing something like that, who else would lie down if not you?

Doesn't she have any opinions of her own?!

The Martial Soul Celestial Fox excels in mental and illusion techniques, and is likely also adept at manipulating people's minds.

I never expected that the holder of this martial spirit would be like this...

…………

The track at Training Ground No. 6 was larger than the tracks at the previous five training grounds, and only three senior students with a soul power level of eight completed the entire course.

Those students with slightly lower soul power also didn't finish the race, but compared to the new students whose lungs were about to burst, their situation was better.

However, compared to the unlucky guy who forcibly possessed a martial soul, those new students who sensed something was wrong and did not possess a martial soul were much luckier.

After the warm-up, Wei Min didn't let the trainees explain to each other this time; she stood up directly and explained the key point.

In addition to explaining the good intentions behind this "white lie," Wei Min also pointed out the problems in the simple assessment of others.

Since the new student had been rebuffed, she naturally had to teach the older student a lesson. She would criticize their incorrect running posture, poor distance control, and insufficient use of their soul power.

Now she is no longer just a homeroom teacher who only deals with emergencies; she is a teacher who has to manage all students, so naturally she has to treat everyone equally.

After the education, it's time for guidance.

After all, she was his homeroom teacher. Others might be too embarrassed to ask her for advice, but Lin Yu wouldn't.

Wei Min also offered her advice.

"Your endurance and recovery are quite good, which are your strengths. However, you lack concentration and sometimes even lose focus while running."

"I can tell you're deliberately trying to achieve this state. But you're too impatient. I suggest you try running a few laps later, relax a bit, and don't try to force yourself into that state."

Lin Yu thought the homeroom teacher would just say a few perfunctory words. But he didn't expect the homeroom teacher to give such advice.

Want to relax and go for a run?

Lin Yu could guess that when the teacher said to relax, he meant not using that breathing technique while running.

After developing the dynamic breathing method, he uses it whenever he has free time. He hasn't tried running to relax yet.

After thanking the teacher, Lin Yu went to the track and started running alone.

Lin Yu, who was used to using breathing techniques while running, felt a little uncomfortable not using them for a while.

After running half a lap, Lin Yu felt as if her legs were filled with lead, and it was difficult to lift her feet each time.

Insufficient blood oxygen supply to the legs? That can't be right, I wasn't running fast and I didn't run for very long.

I adjusted my breathing and tried dynamic breathing techniques, and my legs felt lighter again.

He stopped, his legs becoming heavy again. He tried to use breathing techniques again… no, Lin Yu didn't. He simply focused his attention, concentrating his consciousness on his blood vessels, without mobilizing his soul power.

With the heaviness in her legs gone, Lin Yu finally discovered the key to the problem after repeated attempts.

One's blood and soul are one; in the early stages, only contact between consciousness and blood can activate the martial soul's effect.

Once you focus your attention on the outside world, the bonus from your martial soul will disappear.

The relaxation in this state is not about shifting attention away from the blood, but rather about allowing part of your consciousness to merge with your blood, and then letting your consciousness flow with your blood.

As for focusing one's consciousness on blood vessels and using them as a medium to guide soul power into the blood, this cultivation method violates the essence of one's martial soul from the very beginning.

How did I manage to veer off course in my training when I was just awakening my martial soul?

It seems that creating one's own cultivation method is not something that everyone can do; if not done properly, it is easy to go astray in cultivation.

Having figured out the key, Lin Yu adjusted his training methods.

It is still a matter of consciousness being divided into two.

Part of the consciousness is immersed in the blood, circulating wildly throughout the body along with the blood; another part of the consciousness is attached to the blood vessels, responsible for transmitting soul power while maintaining alertness.

The consciousness consists of two parts. If one part gets tired, it attaches directly to the blood vessels, while the other part recirculates.

After using the new training method, unlike the smooth breathing brought by the dynamic breathing method, Lin Yu felt more comfortable than ever before after the adjustment.

This is the first time I've felt this exhilarating since my martial spirit awakened.

However, the immense physical satisfaction comes at the cost of severe mental exhaustion.

The rapid flow of blood not only torments part of the consciousness with the torment of the rugged "bends," but also causes the pain of "dismemberment" when encountering "forks in the road."

However, compared to the immense physical satisfaction, the mental torment was nothing!

Lin Yu didn't know how long she had been running. With her mental energy depleted, she could only rely on her body's instincts to continue running.

At a certain moment, as Lin Yu's body, which had been engaged in intense physical activity, reached a point of euphoria, an invisible constraint quietly broke through.

As a result, Lin Yu's mind suddenly relaxed, and his consciousness left his bloodstream.

In an instant, a long-lost feeling of fatigue washed over me, but my body felt incredibly joyful.

I've broken through! My soul power is now at level nine!
