Heaven Dou Empire, Shrek Academy.
The atmosphere on the training field could no longer be described as merely strange. It was downright absurd.
Ma Hongjun clutched his head with both hands, his eyes bulging round as the fat on his face trembled. He could hardly believe it. "Cuihua has the talent to become a Spirit Master?!"
He felt as though his worldview had suffered a devastating blow.
Others might not know Cuihua, but how could he not know her???
Cuihua was merely an ordinary farm girl from a village near Suotuo City. She had no innate Soul Power and no aptitude for becoming a Soul Master. Back then, she had broken up with him because she could not endure his Evil Fire.
On Douluo Continent, she was among the lowest of the low.
Yet now, that expert from another world was telling her that she possessed some hidden talent for Spiritual Force, and had even invited her to join a martial arts school for focused training!
Dai Laoda had been utterly crushed in that world, and Yan, Spirit Hall's genius, had even been tortured to death. Yet Cuihua, an ordinary person without even a trace of Soul Power, had directly received a ticket to the path of the strong?
What kind of nonsense was this?!
Tang San stood to the side, a deep contemplative look flashing through his eyes.
"Brain Domain Width... Spiritual Force..."
Tang San repeatedly turned those two terms over in his mind.
He recalled the Purple Demon Eye he cultivated. It was, in fact, also a method of training mental strength.
"According to that instructor, as long as one's Brain Domain Width reaches a certain standard, they can control weapons from afar. Isn't that similar to my concealed weapon techniques?"
Tang San was secretly shocked.
"The difference is that I need techniques, mechanisms, and internal force to fire concealed weapons. Yet the Spirit Masters they spoke of can directly manipulate objects from afar with mental strength!"
"This kind of unpredictable attack, if paired with deadly poison, would make one an Asura harvesting lives on the battlefield."
Flender and Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance, each seeing the complexity in the other's eyes.
This higher-dimensional world gave ordinary people far too many chances to break through class barriers.
And it was now obvious that martial soul aptitude, Martial Path aptitude in that world, and the so-called Spirit Master talent were simply two completely unrelated parallel lines!
At the same time.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sect Master's Hall.
Ning Fengzhi had just finished cultivating Five Hearts Toward Heaven. Before he could properly consolidate the faint trace of Genetic Origin Energy within him, Cuihua's unexpected encounter on the Sky Screen seized all of his attention.
"Spiritual Force! Controlling weapons from afar!"
Ning Fengzhi strode quickly to the window and gripped the frame tightly with both hands. His usually refined face was now filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.
Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo, standing behind him, also revealed looks of astonishment.
"Fengzhi, what is this..."
Sword Douluo looked at him in confusion.
"Uncle Sword, don't you understand yet?!"
Ning Fengzhi turned around, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"The greatest weakness of us support-type Soul Masters is our lack of combat ability!"
"But in order to apply different enhancement effects to multiple teammates at the same time on the battlefield, we must undergo extremely rigorous Heart Separation Control training from childhood."
"Whether it is the Three-Aperture Control Heart or the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, their essence is actually training our brains and tempering our mental strength!"
The more Ning Fengzhi spoke, the more excited he became. He even began pacing back and forth through the hall.
"In terms of the intensity and activity of mental strength, us support-type Soul Masters far surpass Battle Soul Masters of the same level!"
"Even that ordinary village girl who does not possess Soul Power was tested with a Brain Domain Width of eighteen and considered potential Spirit Master material."
"If the direct disciples of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were tested, how high would our Brain Domain Width be? Twenty? Or thirty?"
Ning Fengzhi's words were like enlightenment, instantly awakening the two Title Douluo.
Since Spirit Masters could strengthen their mental strength through cultivation and achieve the ability to control objects with it, that meant mental strength in that other world could continuously grow through acquired training.
Likewise, people of Douluo Continent could naturally strengthen their mental strength through training.
Acquired training would add another measure beyond one's innate value.
An untrained village girl might possess remarkable talent, but compared with disciples of the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda who had undergone extensive acquired training, she was likely still far behind!
A hint of realization finally appeared as a smile on Bone Douluo's skull-like face.
"The Sect Master is right! That instructor said Spiritual Force can directly control weapons from afar to kill enemies. If the disciples of our sect could also master this method of using mental strength..."
Gu Rong sucked in a sharp breath.
A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master who could provide powerful attribute enhancements from the rear while also controlling over a dozen flying daggers with mental strength to kill enemies from afar...
How was that still some support type that needed protection? It was clearly the most terrifying meat grinder on the battlefield!
"Pass down the order!"
Ning Fengzhi made his decision at once.
"Immediately gather all direct disciples in the sect whose Heart Separation Control has reached four apertures or above! Starting today, besides their usual Soul Power cultivation, everyone must begin attempting to explore ways to use their own mental strength!"
"That higher-dimensional world has already shown us the practical value of mental strength. Before we obtain the Spirit Master cultivation methods of that world, exploring it ourselves may not be another path forward!"
Spirit City, Pope Palace.
Bibi Dong stood atop the high steps, half of her stunningly beautiful face concealed in shadow and the other half illuminated by the Sky Screen's light.
"We must obtain the cultivation methods of Spirit Masters!"
As the owner of Twin Martial Souls, she knew better than anyone just how immense her mental strength was.
To suppress the conflict between her two martial souls, she had to maintain an extremely high level of mental focus at all times. If measured by this so-called Brain Domain Width, she was confident that she belonged among the very top few on all of Douluo Continent.
"Originally, I thought controlling objects with mental strength required an extremely high threshold. Yet it turns out all it needs is a special method for using mental strength!"
Bibi Dong slowly raised her right hand, her slender fingers gently curling through the air.
She could feel that her immense mental strength was like a vast ocean, but because she lacked a method to guide it, it could only remain peacefully within her Sea of Consciousness.
If she could obtain the cultivation method of Spirit Masters, her current strength could rise dramatically out of thin air!
At that time, she would not even need to release her martial souls. With Spiritual Force alone, she could instantly shred those self-proclaimed exceptional Title Douluo!
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei."
Bibi Dong's voice regained its cold authority.
"Pass down the order. Spirit Hall will immediately establish a special research group. Gather every Soul Master in Spirit Hall with mental attributes and have them focus solely on collecting and deducing methods of mental-strength attacks."
"This higher-dimensional world is gradually revealing the essence of power to us."
"Beyond these so-called cultivation techniques and methods, the essence of power itself is even more worthy of study!"
"Martial Path, physique, Spirit Masters, Cosmic Origin Energy... There are too many forms of power that people on the continent have never noticed. They have always existed within our bodies, yet we have never excavated them. No one has even noticed them, and we have not mastered the techniques to use them!"
"As long as we make good use of them, taking another step forward will be exceedingly simple!"
