Douluo: The True Eye

Chapter 33: Peaceful Sleep

After finishing the upgrade assessment, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong returned to their dormitory without any other incidents along the way.

Due to the rather complex process of the second-year upgrade assessment, coupled with the large number of second-year students, it was certain that the assessment wouldn't be completed in a single day, which is why Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had more than a day of rest.

"Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. Why did Director Du deduct five points from me? I clearly deserved full marks."

Back in the dormitory, Wang Dong couldn't help but mutter in dissatisfaction.

Her words were filled with complaints about Du Weilun. Having been influenced by Huo Yuhao, she definitely didn't accept Du Weilun's deduction.

After all, she still believed that her tactical decision was definitely correct, as the soul bone within her body provided her with more than just enhancement to her physical qualities and soul power.

"Just knowing it yourself is enough. Whether you have these five points or lose them, your soul power won't increase by a level, nor will it lead to your expulsion."

Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong: "Cultivate well, I'm going to sleep. Wake me up when it's time to eat. Good night."

"Huo Yuhao, why do you always sleep, sleep, sleep?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Wang Dong raised an eyebrow. Although she herself liked to sleep due to mental reasons and soul injuries,

she had never seen anyone like Huo Yuhao, who could sleep all the time when there was nothing to do, let alone the fact that Huo Yuhao could actually maintain the improvement of his soul power while sleeping, which was the most bizarre thing.

"Can you teach me how you sleep? I also want to improve my soul power while sleeping. Cultivating normally is simply exhausting."

Moving closer to Huo Yuhao's bed, Wang Dong shook Huo Yuhao's body with her hand and said.

"You can't learn it, but I can teach you how to sleep more soundly. Do you want to learn?"

Huo Yuhao yawned and said, "After learning it, you'll have more time to cultivate, and then don't bother me anymore."

"Okay."

Hearing this, Wang Dong's eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly, after all, there weren't many opportunities to take advantage of Huo Yuhao.

Before, every time she wanted Huo Yuhao to give her some guidance, it was fine at first, but later Huo Yuhao would always ask her to bring him food or treat him, and her little treasury was almost unable to withstand it.

"Read more books, read more newspapers, eat fewer snacks, and sleep more."

After making a small joke, Huo Yuhao got down to business.

"First like this, then like that, and then so on and so forth, so on and so forth."

Huo Yuhao told Wang Dong some methods he had found and integrated from the outer court library regarding using mental power to nurture one's soul.

The knowledge that Huo Yuhao told Wang Dong was originally recorded as only being able to improve human energy or enter a state of deep meditation, but after Huo Yuhao's integration, it could play a role in subtly nurturing the soul through mental power.

Through sleep, a person's mental power can be maximized, thereby gathering in the sea of ​​spirit, so as to enter a state of instinctive deep meditation, to nurture the soul in the dark.

In a series of chain reactions, the loss of the soul also led to varying degrees of damage to her spirit and body.

As a descendant of a god, Wang Dong has been absorbing immortal energy since she was born, and even drank the water of life from the goddess of life, which only main gods with the title of first-level god are qualified to drink.

Even so, the real reason why Wang Dong's cultivation and strength are not outstanding among her peers after she came to Douluo Continent is that, although it is not obvious, Wang Dong is still in a state of serious injury to some extent.

If it hadn't been for the help of the Water of Life, which is of considerable benefit to even the main god, Wang Dong would have died on the spot under Tang San's brutal 'surgery'.

And now her soul and spirit can only be slowly repaired through the growth of soul power. Perhaps one day, when her soul power helps her body complete energyization, the damage to her soul may be completely repaired.

However, the influence of the soul and body is two-way. The incompleteness of the soul and spirit will also affect Wang Dong's own cultivation speed. It is almost a fantasy to complete the energyization of the body through her own ability under such circumstances.

For Wang Dong, the possibility of her becoming a god-level powerhouse through her own efforts is much smaller than that of others.

Moreover, the incomplete soul and spirit also have the greatest impact, that is, they cannot be shaped, because the integrity of the soul and spirit has been destroyed, so it is impossible to form a stable form.

Therefore, in this case, no matter who Wang Dong cultivates with, as long as external forces intervene slightly.

Even the slightest mental influence can cause Wang Dong's soul and spirit to change shape, thereby becoming more and more closely connected with the other party.

For example, if under normal circumstances, the spirit and energy in the human body are like two complete building blocks, according to the different shapes, only a very small part can touch each other, and cannot be fused.

The situation of martial soul fusion is like two coincidences with extremely high contact area or compatibility, which happen to make the two complement each other.

Then Wang Dong's soul and spirit are like a pile of powder that has been kneaded into a pulp by external force. When connecting with other building blocks, this pile of powder will form new building blocks under the influence of external force.

And this building block is 100% perfectly matched with the other building block. In this way, Wang Dong will gradually lose herself in this process and become an appendage of the other.

This is also why Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, whose six martial souls are completely unrelated, can fuse in the original work.

"Okay, go play by yourself, I'm really going to sleep."

After teaching the soul recovery technique, Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and lay down, no longer paying attention to Wang Dong.

The soul recovery technique that Huo Yuhao had just taught Wang Dong, although pieced together and linked from miscellaneous knowledge in the outer courtyard library of Shrek Academy,

was actually instructed by the necromancy expert, Ilex, and was absolutely real and effective.

Moreover, if people found out, they would at most think it was a flash of inspiration from Huo Yuhao, after all, Huo Yuhao didn't use any other knowledge beyond the scope.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and entered his sea of spirit: "Ilao, what do you think is going on with this soul bone? I always feel like it's very different from the Kongming Magic Leopard soul bone I got before, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

The structural models of the two soul bones appeared in the sea of spirit, and Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged, propping his chin up as he looked at the two soul bones.

At the same time, the composition of that torso bone was also constantly being completed, because Huo Yuhao had Tianmeng Iceworm use mental detection to probe Wang Dong, who had entered a state of deep sleep through the soul recovery technique and was sleeping peacefully.

The gray ball hovered around the torso bone, and then floated back to Huo Yuhao's side, followed by Ilex's old voice coming from it.

"Well, it's no wonder you can't see it. I wasn't sure before, but now I'm about 70-80% sure."

"Oh? What is it?"

"It's a magic array, not a creation of this world.

The rune structure I showed you before has appeared in some of them, which is why you have a vague feeling of familiarity."

"In the world I was in, magic spells used the power of nature, while stable magic arrays could allow the elements in nature to be arranged and combined into a fixed form according to the magician's will for a long time."

"For this world, it's a rather unfamiliar system, after all, the people in this world use a power called soul power, which originates more from their own bloodline than from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"However, in the end, the two will eventually converge, after all, for soul masters, human power will eventually be exhausted, and in the end, they will still need to look to heaven and earth for power, while for magicians, the fragility of the individual is also a shackle that limits them from bearing the power of heaven and earth."

"Okay, the topic has gone too far, let's go back to this soul bone."

"This soul bone is different from the kind you obtained before, which originated from the bodies of creatures called soul beasts, and is an energy crystal produced by a large amount of condensed energy with a part of the spirit and soul."

"There are no alien souls and spirits in it, but more pure energy products, and I can't identify all the runes that make up this soul bone for a while because of the lack of memory."

"However, I can be sure that this so-called soul bone, although similar in shape to the soul bones of this world, is definitely not something that can be produced naturally in this world."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded, and had a general answer in his heart.

Since it's not something from the Clear Sky Sect, then it's only possible that it's something Tang San made.

Although Tang San was born in the world of soul masters on Douluo Continent, he himself is not very concerned about improving his own cultivation system.

But after all, the Asura God is a top god-king in the current worldview, and the God Realm itself also governs many worlds.

Among them, there are even magical worlds similar to Ice and Fire Kitchen, so it is not surprising that similar magic concepts appear.

Although it may not be entirely Tang San's work, it may also be related to him.

"Then Ilao, can we create similar things by imitating the structure of this soul bone?"

Hearing this, Ilex seemed to be thinking, and did not respond for a long time.

After a while, Ilex said: "It is feasible, but it is very difficult."

"Because first of all, excluding the technical limitations, where will the energy come from?"

"Such an energy crystal placed in the human body, even if it does not have other additional effects, the benefits to the human body are self-evident."

"It's just that such a huge amount of energy is by no means something you are qualified to covet or obtain now."

"After all, to gather the energy for a so-called soul bone, in addition to the disordered and chaotic energy in nature, if your goal is those purer and larger quantities that can be absorbed and mobilized by the human body, then it must belong to someone."

"So, it seems that after talking about it, the topic has come back again. Energy, attributes, elements."

Huo Yuhao paused.

"Let's start researching it first, I also have some clues, but I need to make some other plans first to connect all these things together."

Looking at Huo Yuhao, who was lost in thought in the sea of spirit, Ilex sighed, and then a cold mental wave directly came from the gray ball, and then Huo Yuhao only felt that he had lost consciousness.

Watching Huo Yuhao's spiritual consciousness dissipate and return to his body normally, Ilex's old voice slowly sounded: "Have a good sleep, child, haste makes waste, everything should not be rushed, otherwise it will be counterproductive."

After crossing over to this world, due to the existence of soul power and the sea of spirit, Huo Yuhao's spiritual consciousness has always been wandering between the outside world and the sea of spirit, never stopping his pursuit of strength.

This pursuit is blind, and for Huo Yuhao, it is exciting, after all, as an ordinary person, this is an opportunity he never imagined to pursue transcendence.

Even if this opportunity is mixed with malice from the gods, this pressure has also become his motivation to move forward.

It's just that Huo Yuhao, as a transmigrator, is actually still just an ordinary person's mentality, even if his body and spirit are not tired, and even are in a complete state because of the operation of soul power and the existence of the sea of spirit.

But the mind will be tired. In Ilex's opinion, Huo Yuhao, who wants to take care of many things at the same time, and wants to do his best in everything in his plan, is now walking on the edge of a cliff.

Even in Ilex's opinion, the current Huo Yuhao can be regarded as crazy, not much better than himself who was previously blinded by revenge.

Although sleep is not a necessity for powerful people with extraordinary power, it is also necessary for powerful people to relax.

There must be a balance between tension and relaxation, which is the way of cultivation.

Otherwise, if you are stubborn all the way, you will eventually go to a dead end, become obsessed and not know it, so Ilex will take action and force Huo Yuhao to really 'sleep' for a while.

This is also the first real sleep that Huo Yuhao has had since coming to this world, and because of Ilex's existence, Huo Yuhao slept inexplicably soundly this time.
