The pink and white begonia martial spirit pattern gradually climbed up Ye Lingling's wrist and finally rested on Chen Hong's palm. The vigorous and gentle life energy flowed from Ye Lingling's small hand into Chen Hong's hand and then spread throughout his body.

Under the gentle yet powerful life force, Chen Hong felt that his metabolism was accelerating in a healthy way, and that all the cells in his body were metabolizing in a nearly harmless manner.

Chen Hong grasped Ye Lingling's soft little hand in his palm, slowly regaining his senses. A look of amazement appeared in his dark eyes as he looked at the girl in front of him with a smug expression. He couldn't help but raise his other hand and pinch Ye Lingling's cheek.

"An unimaginable martial soul ability. Congratulations, Lingling, Mingzhu Quchen, for finding a path that belongs only to you." Chen Hong smiled gently at the gentle girl in front of him.

The healing ability of the Nine-Hearted Begonia originates from the logic of converting its own soul power into life force through its martial soul, and then using that life force to heal others in all aspects. It does not use the Nine-Hearted Begonia's own life energy to heal others, because even the wealthiest Nine-Hearted Begonia Soul Master could not withstand such a drain.

If you understand the healing logic of the Nine Heart Begonia from another perspective, you can view the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul itself as a kind of life authority.

Yes, the authority of life, and specifically, the top-tier authority of life that directly addresses the root cause, where "soul power × conversion rate = life energy".

Furthermore, the inheritance logic of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul can even reveal a hidden logic such as the "uniqueness of authority".

In the past, Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters only instinctively used their own Martial Soul talents, seemingly never bothering to understand their own Martial Soul.

However, judging from the thousands of years of history of Douluo Continent, the only long-lived race in this world, the Soul Beasts, has their intelligence locked. Even humans are in a state of cognitive barrier with their intelligence locked, and they seem to know almost nothing other than cultivating their Soul Power level.

Take Yu Xiaogang, the master who can be considered half a scholar in Douluo Continent, for example. There is a problem about him that Chen Hong finds hard to understand.

That is, Yu Xiaogang seems to have never thought about it: what exactly caused his martial soul, the only external martial soul in Douluo Continent, Luo Sanpao, to be generated?

Just as Chen Hong wrote at the end of "Soul Ring Theory" "The path to redemption may lie within it", Chen Hong actually believes that the path for Yu Xiaogang to truly achieve self-redemption lies in Luo Sanpao, the external martial soul that accompanies him day and night.

The biggest difference between Yu Xiaogang and Chen Hong is that Yu Xiaogang doesn't make empty promises.

If Chen Hong were to stand in Yu Xiaogang's shoes, then the "Research Report on Luo Sanpao's External Martial Soul" would definitely be more attractive to other soul master sects and forces than the "Ten Theories of Martial Soul." He could then use questions such as "Research on Martial Soul Spirituality" and "Whether Martial Soul Spirituality is Universal" to weave a dream pie that could cover all soul masters on the continent, turning his own martial soul problem into a martial soul research problem for the entire continent.

In this situation, as long as Yu Xiaogang's "Martial Soul Spirituality Research" is attractive enough, ancient sects will continue to give him their most treasured herbs for free, allowing him to quickly break through to level 29 and continue to verify the next stage of Luo Sanpao's research.

After all, if a Soul Master's Martial Soul can develop sentience, it means that the Soul Master's combat power ceiling will be increased again. This is the real way to unlock the upper limit of the Soul Master system.

The research on the spirituality of martial souls is in no way inferior to Chen Hong's three-stage soul ring realm, because both of these approaches unlock the upper limit of the soul master system, making soul masters at each level even stronger, and even allowing the already top-tier Peerless Douluo (the local name for Douluo Continent I) to see an even higher limit.

Imagine if Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu knew that his martial soul had the potential to generate sentience, and that his Holy Six-Winged Angel could fight on its own, it seems that with sufficient soul power, he could simultaneously contend with Tang Chen and Poseidon, who were at the same level.

So, as the High Priest of Angels, Qian Daoliu might feel a surge of emotion and use some of his mystical abilities to help Yu Xiaogang break through to level 29?

(If Chen Hong knew the story of Poseidon, he could deduce more things. For example, Poseidon's martial soul was the Golden Trident, which eventually became the Trident of the Sea God. The Sea God's inherited artifact and divine status were still the Trident of the Sea God. The future Tang God King even lost his twin martial souls and was assimilated by the two inherited artifacts. Then Chen Hong would inevitably deduce that the martial soul leaving the body and transforming into a divine status is also a way to become a god.)

But as the saying goes, the path to salvation may lie within this. When God closes one window for you, He may have already opened another door.

Although Chen Hong did not yet know the secret of the martial soul leaving the body, he used another method to achieve almost the same effect as the martial soul leaving the body, which was the spirit crystal.

The wonders of this world always exceeded Chen Hong's expectations, constantly surprising him with unexpected delights.

Looking at Ye Lingling in front of him, Chen Hong's thoughts drifted far, far away with the white clouds in the sky.

It seems that every unique martial spirit in this world is like a miracle left behind by the gods, waiting for someone with a heart to unravel it, and then to open up and create an era beyond imagination.

Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao is like this, Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia is like this, and Chen Hong's martial soul telekinesis is also like this.

Their martial spirits represent the three core abilities of a god: divinity, authority, and faith (??).

"But... I don't even dare to use this ability to plunder other people's life force. It's not something a good Soul Master should do." Faced with Chen Hong's praise, a hint of joy flashed across Ye Lingling's face, but it was quickly covered by a deep worry. She gently leaned her head against Chen Hong's chest and muttered softly.

If she hadn't trusted Chen Hong so much, Ye Lingling would never have dared to reveal her ability to reduce other people's life force.

In Ye Lingling's traditional understanding of soul masters, this behavior was almost no different from that of evil soul masters who were to be imprisoned in the Killing City.

(By the way, can Gantz suppress Ye Lingling's innate soul skill? If not, then for Ye Lingling, Gantz, which can only use soul power, is just a giant experience pack?)

"Evil Soul Master? Pshaw! You're wrong. Power has no distinction between good and evil. As long as Lingling can use it in the right place, she'll be the best Soul Master in the world." Chen Hong patted Ye Lingling on the back to comfort her.
