Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Frankness

"The most difficult thing to test is the specific effect of this kind of offensive mental Soul Skill."

Zhou Qing sighed. After all, the effect of offensive mental Soul Skill depends on the level of the other person's Spiritual Power. There is no way to test Spiritual Power in this era. The so-called point measurement methods, such as spiritual essence, spiritual communication, spiritual sea, spiritual abyss, and spiritual domain, are a judgment method summarized after the development of Soul Guidance Technology to a certain level.

In this Douluo Era, Spiritual Power is still the "patent" of Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo, and even most Titled Douluo cannot clearly explain what kind of energy Spiritual Power power is.

Enabling Spiritual Power to act on external objects, such as manipulating matter with Spiritual Power, might be used as a unit of measurement.

The only people who could possibly do this are those at the Titled Douluo level.

"Trouble!"

Zhou Qing felt a headache coming on, took out a bag of water from the Gray Pouch, and gave Romantina a sip.

Romantina slowly woke up, her eyes clear, making it obvious that she had been possessed by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

In the Douluo II, this guy didn't possess Huo Yuhao's body many times, but in the Douluo Era, he still had a lot of cultivation left, so his energy was still quite vigorous.

"It's you, Brother Tian Meng." Zhou Qing greeted Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Of course it's me."

After Sky Dream Ice Silkworm possessed Romantina, it leaned against the big tree next to Zhou Qing and said, "Your Spiritual Power is really very strong. Even my Soul Skill can't do anything to you. This girl's Spiritual Power is already very strong among children of the same age."

Zhou Qing asked, "So, before finding Romantina, you also looked for other twelve-year-olds, or even younger children, but failed?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrificial experiments couldn't have only targeted adults; presumably, a considerable number of young Soul Master died at its hands.

"After all, finding Soul Master with Spirit System Martial Soul is not an easy process."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said, "Originally, I wanted to find Titled Douluo directly, but I haven't met one in two years. In addition, those bastards in the Star Dou Great Forest are ordering other Soul Beast to look for me. I can only follow a transformed rabbit to escape from the Star Dou Great Forest first... You human Soul Master kill countless Soul Beast every year, and it's also a dog-eat-dog world among you Soul Master. It's just that it's not as naked as us Soul Beast."

"Objectively speaking, it's survival of the fittest. More importantly, I'm not familiar with them, so I can't really say anything bad about you. But you should have seen some of my personality. I'm human after all, and I won't side with the Soul Beast," Zhou Qing said.

"Hehe, that's exactly what I need to do. Only then can I find you Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, or even Ferocious Beast, that has absorbed my cultivation in the future, to become your Soul Ring or Soul Bone."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm didn't care at all. "Don't think that Soul Beast are very united. Those Ferocious Beast and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast don't really take other Soul Beast outside their race seriously."

"It was merely a matter of using force to temporarily unite those Soul Beast that were over Hundred-Thousand-Year."

"In terms of cohesion, we are far inferior to you humans."

"Just like you said, survival of the fittest... Hmm, you'd be considered one of the smartest among humans, right? Getting back to the point, it was only recently, after truly entering the human world and seeing things through Romantina's perspective, that I finally understood the 'big fish eats little fish' principle among Soul Beast... For example, I might only care about the survival of the Ice Silkworm Clan. As for other races of Soul Beast, if I like them, I might pay attention to them; if I don't, I'd want to wipe them out."

"Therefore, as long as there are racial distinctions among Soul Beast, they can never truly unite as one, each with its own way of survival and thoughts."

"But you humans are different. Although you are more complex, you are all hairless apes that walk upright. You can fight each other to the death, and you can also sacrifice your Life for things that are illusory and unrealistic, such as morality and justice."

Zhou Qing was surprised, never expecting that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was so intelligent.

[That's right! Although this flesh worm basically just eats and sleeps, it has learned a little about how to behave like a human... or beast after being oppressed for so many years in the Star Dou Great Forest.]

[In the original novel, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's energy accumulated over millions of years was almost completely destroyed, so it spent most of its time in slumber after the sacrifice. However, the current Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm retains a considerable amount of its Primordial Energy, so it is impossible for it to "lie flat" as depicted in the original novel.]

Now that he has relatively abundant energy, he will naturally try his best to improve himself.

[so--]

We absolutely must get this worm!

"What kind of look is that?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm frowned, using Romantina's body as a substitute. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she hugged herself tightly, just like Romantina had done. "You wouldn't happen to have some designs on my body, would you?"

"This isn't your body."

Zhou Qing rolled her eyes, wondering if the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had been influenced by Romantina.

"Oh right, this isn't my body." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm came to her senses and laughed, "Then do as you please, I've never experienced what it feels like to be violated before."

Zhou Qing: "..." Suddenly remembered that the flesh worm in the original work didn't seem to be so proper either?

"I have an idea about Spiritual Detection. Would you like to hear it?" Zhou Qing's tone was slightly somber.

"Speak, Xiao Qingqing, I'm listening." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm put his hands on his hips, signaling Zhou Qing to stop dawdling; he/she was getting impatient.

"This is related to my idea about the relationship between Soul Ring, Soul Skill, and Martial Soul..." Zhou Qing described the circulation route of Soul Power inside the Soul Ring, the cultivation route of Soul Power within the Soul Master's body, the circulation route of Soul Power in the Martial Soul itself, and the "Grafting" between Soul Ring and Martial Soul.

"A very interesting idea." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shook his head. "I also sensed the rough flow of Soul Power within Romantina's body, but the internal pathways of her Brain Martial Soul are extremely complex, and she can't perceive them herself. In this respect, could I perhaps temporarily lend her my Spiritual Power to assist her in perceiving it? I'm not sure if it's feasible..."

"I'll try my best. If it doesn't work, I'll think of something later."

Romantina was unable to make closer contact and communication with her own Brain Martial Soul through the Basic Meditation Method, and therefore could not fully perceive the complete route by which the Martial Soul propelled the circulation of Soul Power within her body.

This is indeed a problem, but both Tang San's Purple Demon Eye and the part about Spiritual Power cultivation in her own Innate Internal Scripture Chart can help her better connect with her Martial Soul.

Therefore, it will not be a problem to help her obtain the complete version of the unique cultivation technique for her ahead of time.

Zhou Qing wanted to know more. "Do you know how the Soul Skill patterns inside the Soul Ring are formed?"

"The specifics? I don't know, but it should be formed under the influence of the world's rules. Anyway, when I used these four abilities before, I didn't need to let the Soul Power flow through such a complicated route at all," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said.

"Sure enough, Soul Ring and Soul Skill are forms that fix the power and skills of Soul Beast into forms that can be compatible with and released by human Martial Soul."

Zhou Qing confirmed his guess, and then requested Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, "Please use the skills Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing, but don't exceed Romantina's limits. I want to test it out..."
