When the screams stopped, only a pile of ashes and Su Ming and Nana remained in the room.

"You can handle the rest yourself."

Electrolux's voice carried a hint of weariness; he uttered only one word before leaving Su Ming's body.

Having regained control of his body, Su Ming sensed a residual special power within his Soul Power.

"Just now, even my Soul Power was perfectly controlled by Elder Yi. This kind of method is incredible."

Su Ming knew that in the original work, Tian Meng, Ice Empress, and Snow Empress all demonstrated the ability to control Huo Yuhao's body, but this was clearly not the same concept.

All three of them possessed Soul Ring on Huo Yuhao, meaning they had given Huo Yuhao all their power. Huo Yuhao's Soul Power contained their power as well, so they could naturally use Huo Yuhao's Soul Power.

But Electrolux is different.

Strictly speaking, Electrolux is still an independent fragment of divine consciousness, and there is basically no fusion between him and Su Ming.

It can only be said that Electrolux's value is still increasing.

"Senior, are you alright?"

Su Ming's words jolted Nana out of her shock.

She looked at Su Ming and said with a wry smile, "Junior, your abilities are a bit exaggerated."

"We originally wanted to capture him alive for research, but he's a sixth-ringed individual, and controlling him would be too troublesome, so we had no choice but to burn him to death for now."

While saying this, Su Ming actually diverted his attention to condense his spiritual body in his Sea of Consciousness, observing the new things that appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, in his Sea of Consciousness, there was a ball of white flame, within which was a pitch-black skeleton, very small, only the size of his palm.

After observing, Su Ming hesitated.

"Elder Yi, is this the Martial Soul of that Evil Soul Master?"

"Indeed, separating the Martial Soul is really difficult. I wish I hadn't had this sudden idea."

After hearing Electrolux's words, Su Ming fell silent.

No, is this something you could do on a whim?

"Haha, he did have some luck involved. This Evil Soul Master isn't very bright; he fed himself with the Purifying Fire."

After Electrolux's explanation, Su Ming roughly understood the key points.

The Skeleton Evil Soul Master courted death, attempting to extinguish the Purifying Fire with Black Flame, but unexpectedly, he was perfectly countered by the Purifying Fire and was even devoured, becoming the Purifying Fire's sustenance.

The key point is that the Black Flame were obtained by the Evil Soul Master burning his Soul Ring!

The Purifying Fire, having absorbed the Black Flame, thus touched the Evil Soul Master's Martial Soul.

"Your Domain of Chaos also proved remarkably effective. The chaotic Heaven and Earth Power at the time gave me a chance to seize."

Electrolux chuckled and explained the situation in simple, easy-to-understand language.

"Logically, when Soul Master dies, their soul dissipates directly, and countless fragments of the soul recombine to form a new soul, entering a new cycle of reincarnation. Since the core of Soul Master's Martial Soul lies in the soul, when the soul dissipates, the Martial Soul naturally disappears as well."

"The circumstances were special at the time. The Domain of Chaos distorted the heavens and earth, which prevented his soul from dissipating normally. However, he himself was already dead, so his Martial Soul successfully merged into his soul, and I easily separated his soul from his body."

Su Ming felt a chill run down his spine as he listened.

Is this the composure of a necromancer?

Why are you smiling when you talk about this?

"So this is the soul of that Evil Soul Master?"

"No, I burned his soul away, and everything that was meant to dissipate vanished. What remains are the Martial Soul parts that I managed to preserve."

Su Ming stepped forward and carefully examined the tiny skeleton encased in the Purifying Fire.

"I've already had a brief assessment, and this skeleton does indeed have flaws."

What defect?

Excitement gleamed in Su Ming's eyes.

The fact that it was flawed was exactly the answer he wanted.

In his view, the reason why Evil Soul Master can cultivate rapidly using Evil methods through their Martial Soul spirits is because there is a bug in the Martial Soul, and they can quickly improve their cultivation by exploiting this loophole.

The reason why it is difficult to improve after reaching the Titled Douluo is because the bug has become a stumbling block. If this bug cannot be fixed, then it will be impossible to make any progress.

The purpose of studying Evil Soul Master also included the idea of finding a loophole in the free switch.

Where is the vulnerability?

Su Ming carefully examined the little skull, even probing it with his Spiritual Power to sense it, but he couldn't find the so-called loophole.

This was also the first time he had seen the separated Martial Soul directly, and he could clearly feel the many mysteries of the Martial Soul. This was much more intuitive than when the Martial Soul Possession to Soul Master!

Even from this perspective, he couldn't perceive any flaws in the Martial Soul.

"It's normal that you can't see it; the defect has already been fixed."

"It's been fixed?"

No, why would you replace it for him?

"It wasn't me who filled the gap; it was automatically filled when his Martial Soul merged into his soul." Electrolux's tone was somewhat helpless. "The flaw in this Martial Soul should be at the soul level. When he lost his physical body and the Martial Soul completely merged into his soul, it automatically filled the gap. It's precisely because of this change that I was able to detect it directly."

Electrolux stated that he was not omnipotent; his ability to sense the flaws in this Martial Soul was purely due to favorable timing and circumstances.

Favorable timing and location?

Elder Yi is still too modest.

Is it skill or luck? Does that even need explaining?

"Returning to the soul, automatically filling in the gaps"

Su Ming focused his attention on what Electrolux had said and fell into thought.

If that's the case, does that mean the root of Martial Soul lies in the soul? And the weakness of Evil Soul Master is that their Martial Soul spirit is detached from the soul and closer to the body, so they can directly increase the Martial Soul's Soul Power through some mindless actions?

But that doesn't make sense. Martial Soul can be inherited, so they should also be related to bloodlines.

"If we had to explain it, it seems we could only understand it as the seed of Martial Soul residing in the soul, but the key to its formation lies in how the physical body nurtures it. If problems arise during the nurturing process, the Martial Soul will detach from the soul and remain only at the physical level."

"It's not quite detached from the soul, but the Martial Soul of Evil Soul Master is definitely separated from the soul. A separation is indeed more reasonable, and it also explains why there are acquired Evil Soul Master who awaken due to excessive emotions."

After some thought, Su Ming gained a basic understanding of the essence of the Evil Martial Soul.

If it weren't for the crucial information provided by Elder Yi, Su Ming wouldn't know how long it would have taken to gain such a fundamental understanding of the Evil Martial Soul, and he might not have been able to reach the current conclusion even after a long period of research.

"That being said, if we follow this conclusion, it feels like even the Body Martial Soul has some flaws."

Since the Main Body Main Body and the Martial Soul are both part of the body, wouldn't they be detached from the soul?

But is the Body Martial Soul beyond the standard?

The initial Body Martial Soul was very weak, showing no signs of being overpowered, so it was definitely not Evil Martial Soul.

Su Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

Unlike the Evil Martial Soul, which is detached from the soul, the Body Martial Soul should be the exact opposite!
