Awakening Spiritual Power

Because of that, he suddenly remembered something.

In the Pokémon World, because of Rayquaza's existence, it treated outer space as its own territory.

It would attack anything that reached the atmosphere, which made it very hard for the Pokémon World to develop aviation and aerospace.

"It's actually very similar to the Douluo Continent. Both are caused by gods meddling. It's just that on the Douluo Continent's side, the entire planet is covered by a shield that gathers the Power of Faith, making it almost like it's being kept in captivity by the God Realm. That's still different from Rayquaza's behavior."

"The upside is that Douluo Star's safety is guaranteed. The downside is that development is restricted, and they can only keep walking the path of Soul Masters to the bitter end. The best destination is to become a god and be promoted into one of the exploiters."

Gula even suspected that the reason Soul Tools had been lost on the Douluo Continent might be that Soul Engineers in the past had stopped researching ways to kill people and instead switched to researching aircraft, touching a taboo, and were therefore destroyed by the gods.

Otherwise, it was hard to explain why not a shred of Soul Tool inheritance had been left behind.

Gula shook his head. "I'm thinking too far. I don't have some grand ambition to save the Common People. Besides, the God Realm really has protected Douluo Star, and there's nothing bad about becoming a god."

He should take care of himself first.

After returning to Nuoding Academy, Gula learned from Wang Sheng that after Tang San finished eating at the cafeteria, he had gone out alone. If nothing unexpected happened, he had gone to find Yu Xiaogang.

Following his usual routine, Gula went to the empty garden to train.

The only difference was that the tagalong had changed from Tang San to Xiao Wu.

"Weren't you going shopping? Why are you following me?"

Gula asked, summoning his martial soul as if no one else were there.

He activated Gravity Control, and the muscles and bones throughout his body instinctively resisted the gravity, maintaining Gula's normal movement.

He had the system, so he was not worried that excessive training and the Gravity Field would delay his growth. With Potion and Full Heal, he was not afraid that training would leave Hidden Injuries either.

In his previous life, he had suffered because he had not worked hard at studying. In this life, Gula was definitely willing to endure hardship and work hard. He would not waste time playing around.

Xiao Wu smiled slyly. When she saw the Groudon Martial Soul and the Purple Soul Ring, her eyes widened slightly, filled with surprise. She rose onto her toetips, put her hands behind her back, and carefully sized Gula up.

"Wang Sheng and the others are way too boring. You're more interesting. Hey, Gula, what soul beast is your martial soul? Why don't I recognize it?"

Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled. She seemed very curious about Gula's movements, and stood to the side, pretending to follow along and learn.

Huff, huff, ha, ha. She actually looked somewhat convincing.

Gula maintained his posture, carefully circulating his soul power to nourish his qi and blood. In a spare moment, he glanced sideways at her.

"If you won't tell the truth, then forget it."

With that, he continued practicing Essence of Combat.

At soul power rank thirteen, Gula's soul power control could control thirteen times gravity.

An ordinary person, after training, could withstand eight times gravity for a short time. Under thirteen times gravity, one could remain conscious, but there was already a danger of insufficient blood supply.

Gula had the Power of the Earth to recover stamina, and his constitution was different from that of ordinary people. His heart's blood-pumping function was likewise extremely powerful, so even under thirteen times gravity, he could still keep training.

Xiao Wu felt a little guilty because of what Gula said. In truth, her thieving heart still had not died, and she was still thinking about the fragrance of food on Gula.

Having only recently transformed into a human, Xiao Wu still retained the eating habits she had as a soul beast. Perfect-quality Energy Cubes had an enormous attraction to Pokémon, and their attraction to her was just as strong.

She revealed a fawning smile. She looked somewhat humble and pitiful, easily stirring up the sympathy of certain groups.

"It's just... that thing you ate at noon. Do you still have any? I can trade you something for it."

As she spoke, Xiao Wu remembered the scent she had smelled and secretly swallowed.

That was a scent even better than Crystal Carrots. Xiao Wu felt she would never forget it for the rest of her life.

Hearing this, Gula's heart stirred. He spoke with a casual air on the grass. "Answer a few questions for me, and I'll give you Energy Cubes to eat."

"Energy Cubes? What a strange name."

Xiao Wu muttered softly, then smiled brightly and patted her chest, taking everything on herself.

"Go ahead and ask. I'll definitely tell you everything."

Seeing that Xiao Wu had taken the bait, Gula voiced his doubt.

"What does sensing spiritual power feel like?"

"Isn't that simple? It's just..."

Xiao Wu was just about to answer when she realized something was wrong.

Even a simple brain had vigilance. She asked suspiciously, "Why are you asking that? How do you know I know the answer?"

Gula's expression remained calm. He paid no attention to Xiao Wu's wariness and caution.

"An Innate Full Soul Power who doesn't even understand the concept of Gold Coins. Aren't you some family's Young Miss who ran away? The adults in your family must have taught you how to cultivate. Just tell me directly, and I'll give you Energy Cubes."

These words would only fool Xiao Wu, who was ignorant of the ways of the world. If it were any other Human Form Soul Beast, they might not believe it.

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu's mother, Da Ming, and Er Ming had protected her too well, so she believed it right away.

"Ah, you guessed it. Haha, you're so amazing."

Xiao Wu tried to laugh it off and muddle through, but in the blink of an eye, her attention was drawn back by the Energy Cubes. Like spilling beans, she told Gula all the details she knew.

"So that's how it is. An extension of the soul, a sublimation of thought."

Gula made his summary.

With the Super Pallet Town Physique, he also wasn't as reckless as Ash, and his meditation talent was good.

With Xiao Wu's guidance, after a day had passed, he found the first clue to Spiritual Power and became a Psychic.

Waves rose without wind. Gula released his mental potential, and his Spiritual Power condensed into blue psychic force, interfering with reality. It was as if a fierce wind had swept through the surroundings, flattening all the Blue Silver Grass.

Under the double pressure of gravity and Spiritual Power, a certain power seemed to stir restlessly within Gula's body.

But in the end, it was the rarer Aura Power, and the difficulty of awakening it was even greater. Very soon, it fell silent again, hidden within his cells and muscles.

Gula took a deep breath, slowly withdrew his Spiritual Power, and looked at Xiao Wu.

"Thank you for your guidance. Here, the Energy Cubes you wanted."

He took out the remaining Energy Cubes, put them in a pouch, and gave them all to Xiao Wu.

Compared with guidance on Spiritual Power from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, this bit of Energy Cube was hardly worth mentioning.

"Huh? Oh."

Xiao Wu's cherry lips parted slightly, and she still hadn't recovered from her shock.

What had happened?

How had Gula suddenly awakened Spiritual Power after she had only said a few words?

Wasn't that a power only ten-thousand-year soul beasts and human Soul Saints could touch upon?

Could it be...

"Gula, does your martial soul have a hidden Spirit Attribute?"

Xiao Wu grew even more curious about Gula, to the point that she didn't even care about the Energy Cubes...

No, after asking that, she stuffed an Energy Cube into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out as her big eyes stared straight at Gula.

Gula had become a Psychic in a single day, completing half the mission. If counting only the time spent cultivating, it had been even shorter, so he was in an excellent mood and had a little more patience for Xiao Wu as well.

"You can think of it that way. It's because of the Groudon Martial Soul that I have the foundation to grasp Spiritual Power, but the martial soul itself doesn't possess a Spirit Attribute."

Groudon definitely wasn't a Psychic-type Pokémon, but as a divine beast, it more or less knew a few Psychic-type moves.

Gula was still a Soul Master, too. Like Xiao Wu had said, once he reached the Soul Saint stage and automatically grasped psychic abilities, he would naturally be able to learn psychic abilities.
