According to Chen Hong's deduction about soul power, soul power is the fragment of rules, soul rings are the phantoms of rules, and soul bones are the physical manifestations of soul rings. However, it now seems that soul bones should not be considered physical entities; more accurately, they should be called semi-solid. In other words, soul bones should be able to switch between solid and energy states.

"The concept of solid energy makes it much easier to understand."

Looking at the soul beast bone in his hand, still bearing faint traces of soul power, Chen Hong's understanding of soul bones underwent a complete transformation. He had previously genuinely believed that soul bones were special bones of soul beasts that could be absorbed by soul masters. However, this raised a new question: if soul bones were solid, how would a soul master absorb them? Furthermore, according to some records within the Spirit Hall, soul bones within a soul master could be recycled. However, the recycling method was relatively cruel, requiring the complete removal of the soul master's limbs.

Why separate limbs? Because after absorbing a soul bone, the bones of the original parts of a soul master become new carriers of the soul bone, thus also becoming soul bones. In other words, from the moment a soul master absorbs a soul bone, they become a special kind of humanoid soul beast capable of exploding soul bones, except for the inability to explode soul rings.

If we could enable Soul Masters to obtain Soul Rings, wouldn't that be a kind of "indirect approach" to the Soul Beast race?

If I really developed the "Exploding Soul Ring" technology, wouldn't Soul Masters be very grateful to me? After all, they wouldn't have to worry about Soul Rings anymore. No need to thank me.

"In other words, a quantum superposition state? Schrödinger's cat? In a superposition state of energy and solid state, it is solid when it is inside a soul beast, and it is also solid when it is released. But only when the soul master absorbs it, the attention is disturbed and the ability to observe is lost. The soul bone collapses into a quantum state at that moment. But when it enters the soul master's body and returns to the soul master's perception range, it appears in a completely new solid form. If that's the case, then it's much easier to understand."

Chen Hong looked at the soul beast bones in his hand, a dilemma forming in his mind. The bones inside the berserk baboon possessed certain soul-guiding effects, meaning they could be used as materials for soul tools—this was good news. However, a new question arose for Chen Hong: how did soul bones come about? Were divine runes inscribed on the bones? But wouldn't that make them soul tools? Would absorbing a soul tool replace his entire skeletal system? Wouldn't that turn him into a prosthetic limb?

"I'll wait until I get back and carefully study the Wangche Transposition Skull in my hand, comparing it with the Soul Beast specimens."

Suppressing his growing doubts, Chen Hong began to cut off some of the more valuable body parts from the berserk baboon, wrapped them in leaves he had picked from the tall, glowing plants around him, and then threw them into his spatial ring.

After doing all this, Chen Hong looked at the berserk baboon corpse that he had dissected to the point of being unbearable to look at. After thinking for a moment, he took a large number of plant leaves from the surrounding jungle and covered the berserk baboon, his cadaver teacher, with them layer by layer.

"For spirit beasts born of nature, the idea of ​​being buried in the earth may be a misunderstanding. Returning to the natural world may be your purest destiny."

In the darkness, Chen Hong covered the berserk baboon's calm and fearless expression with the last large plant leaf, and murmured with a sigh.

At that moment, not far away, the Star Sword Wedge left by Ning Quan exploded with a shockwave, instantly shattering the surrounding space. Then, a young man with starry eyes dressed in fine clothes appeared out of thin air with a complicated expression.

"Did you find anything?" Chen Hong asked.

Ning Quan looked up at the small green hill in front of Chen Hong, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Then he took out a bird egg the size of a fist from his pocket and said to Chen Hong, "I found this. It's an egg of a Shadow Chaser Falcon."

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Hong's eyes. He then took the Shadow Chasing Falcon's egg from Ning Quan's hand and examined it closely. Through the bright moonlight in the sky, Chen Hong seemed to be able to see something pulsating inside the pale gray eggshell.

"Hmm, did you bring the big bird?" Chen Hong asked Ning Quan.

Ning Quan patted a fist-sized jade gourd hanging diagonally at his waist. He had heard that it was a spatial soul tool given to him by his mother, Ye Jie.

"It's inside," Ning Quan said to Chen Hong, patting the gourd-shaped spatial soul tool at his waist.

"That's good." Chen Hong nodded, expressing his approval of Ning Quan's approach.

Spatial soul guides cannot contain living beings.

"We've had a great haul this time, we can head back now." Chen Hong glanced at the night sky, then put the Shadow Chaser Falcon's eggs into a metal box lined with soft fabric and stuffed it into his pocket.

The transformation of the wild boar Bajie sparked Chen Hong's interest in researching soul beasts, so he decided to study the Shadow Chasing Falcon's egg carefully. The wild boar Bajie was merely a wild beast that evolved into a soul beast by absorbing soul power, while the Shadow Chasing Falcon was a born soul beast. Chen Hong wanted to try raising this born soul beast to obtain some experimental data.

Moreover, a blue vine disguised as a belt was wrapped around Chen Hong's waist. Now that he had both plant and animal soul beasts, it was time for him to go back.

As for the Shrek Seven Devils and Zhao Wuji, Chen Hong believed that with Zhao Wuji possessing the strength of a Soul Saint leading the group, they should be able to roam freely in the outer regions of the Star Dou Great Forest, so there was no need for Chen Hong to worry about them. That's why he said "See you at Shrek Academy" when he parted ways with the Shrek group.

Chen Hong has gained a sufficiently accurate understanding of the Soul Rings, and therefore he is ready to begin spreading his unique skills to those around him on a small scale.

The reason it wasn't on a large scale is because Chen Hong needed to consider his own capabilities; the progress of publishing his research results had to be proportional to his personal growth.

After all, he didn't have a powerful woman behind him who could command the whole world!

Damn it! Yu Xiaogang! I'm jealous of you!

"Okay, let's go then." Ning Quan glanced at the night sky, then looked down and noticed that Chen Hong's face seemed to be showing some strange emotions. He immediately realized that the other party must be having another episode, so he nodded and said, "Let's go."

As he spoke, Ning Quan prepared to take Chen Hong's arm and quickly walk out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

About ten minutes after the two of them had gone out, suddenly, a roar that shook the earth resounded from the Starry Sky Forest behind them!

Roar! ! !

Immediately afterwards, the earth shook violently, and strong winds rose!

Chen Hong and Ning Quan stopped in their tracks, looking back at the dark forest with shocked expressions!
