Bibi Dong: What is the Essence of Power?

Heaven Dou Empire, Shrek Academy.

The atmosphere on the training ground could no longer be described as strange; it was utterly ridiculous.

Ma Hongjun clutched his head with both hands, his eyes wide and bulging, the fat on his face trembling as he muttered in disbelief, "Cuihua has the talent to be a Spirit Master?!"

He felt as though his worldview had suffered a devastating blow.

If anyone knew Cuihua, it was him.

Cuihua was just an ordinary farm girl from a village near Soto City. She had no innate spirit power and absolutely no aptitude to be a spirit master; she had only broken up with him because she couldn't handle his evil fire.

On the Douluo Continent, she was the lowest of the low.

Yet now, that expert from another world was telling her she possessed some hidden spirit telepathic talent, even inviting her to join a martial arts hall for elite training!

Dai Laoda had been crushed in that world, and the Spirit Hall genius Yan had been slaughtered, yet Cuihua, a commoner without even a shred of spirit power, had been handed a golden ticket to the path of the strong?

What kind of nonsense was this!

Tang San stood to the side, a flash of deep contemplation crossing his eyes.

"Brain region width... spirit telepathy..."

Tang San chewed on these two terms repeatedly.

He thought of the Purple Demon Eye he practiced, which was, in essence, a method for training mental power.

"According to that instructor, as long as the brain region width reaches a certain standard, one can manipulate weapons from a distance. Doesn't this share the same principles as my hidden weapon techniques?"

Tang San was secretly shocked.

"The difference is that I rely on technique, mechanisms, and internal energy to launch hidden weapons. But these so-called Spirit Masters can actually use mental power to manipulate objects through the air!"

"If this kind of unpredictable attack method were combined with potent poisons, it would be a shura reaping lives on the battlefield."

Flender and Zhao Wuji exchanged glances, both seeing the complexity in the other's eyes.

This high-dimensional world provided too many opportunities for ordinary people to break through class barriers.

It was now clear that so-called spirit aptitude and the martial path and spirit telepathic talent of that world were two parallel lines that would never intersect!

At the same time.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Main Hall.

Ning Fengzhi, who had just finished practicing the Five Hearts Toward Heaven, had not yet had time to consolidate the faint trace of Genetic Origin Energy in his body before his entire attention was captured by Cuihua's encounter on the Sky Screen.

"Spirit telepathy! Manipulating weapons from a distance!"

Ning Fengzhi hurried to the window, gripping the frame tightly, his usually gentle and elegant face filled with irrepressible ecstasy.

Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo, standing behind him, also wore expressions of shock.

"Fengzhi, you are..."

Sword Douluo looked at him, puzzled.

"Uncle Jian, don't you understand yet!"

Ning Fengzhi turned around, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"The greatest weakness of us support-type spirit masters is our lack of combat power!"

"But in order to apply different buffs to multiple teammates simultaneously on the battlefield, we have had to undergo extremely rigorous Distraction Control training since we were children."

"Whether it is the Three-Aperture Control Heart or the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, their essence is actually training our brains and our mental power!"

Ning Fengzhi grew more excited as he spoke, pacing back and forth in the hall.

"In terms of the strength and activity of mental power, we support-type spirit masters absolutely far exceed battle spirit masters of the same level!"

"Even that ordinary village girl without any spirit power could be detected with a brain region width of eighteen and be seen as a budding Spirit Master."

"If our direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were tested, how high would our brain region width be? Twenty? Or thirty?"

Ning Fengzhi's words were like a sudden enlightenment, instantly waking the two Title Douluo.

Since a Spirit Master could strengthen their mental power through practice to achieve the ability to manipulate objects, it meant that in that other world, mental power could be continuously grown through acquired training.

Likewise, people on the Douluo Continent could naturally strengthen their mental power through exercise.

Acquired training would add a significant margin to the innate value.

A village girl without training might have strong talent, but compared to a disciple of the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda who had undergone rigorous training, she was likely still far behind!

A look of sudden realization finally appeared on Bone Douluo's skull-like face.

"The Sect Master is right! That instructor said that spirit telepathy can be used to manipulate weapons to kill enemies from a distance. If our sect's disciples could also master this method of using mental power..."

Gu Rong gasped.

A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit master who could provide powerful attribute buffs from the rear while simultaneously using mental power to control a dozen flying daggers to kill enemies from afar...

How could they still be considered support-types in need of protection? They would clearly be the most terrifying meat grinders on the battlefield!

"Issue the order!"

Ning Fengzhi made a prompt decision.

"Immediately summon all direct disciples within the sect who have cultivated Distraction Control to the four-aperture level or higher! From today on, aside from daily soul power cultivation, everyone must begin attempting to explore methods of utilizing their own mental power!"

"That higher-dimensional world has already demonstrated the practical combat value of mental power. Before we obtain the cultivation methods of a Spirit Master from that world, exploring it ourselves may well be another viable path!"

Spirit City, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong stood upon the high steps, her stunning face half-hidden in shadow and half-illuminated by the light of the Sky Screen.

"The cultivation method of a Spirit Master must be obtained!"

As the possessor of twin spirits, she knew better than anyone just how vast her mental power was.

To suppress the conflict between her two spirits, she had to maintain an extremely high level of mental focus at all times. If it came to the so-called breadth of the brain's domain, she was confident she belonged to that tiny, elite group at the very pinnacle of the entire Douluo Continent.

"Originally, I thought that manipulating objects with mental power required an extremely high threshold, yet I never expected that it only required a special technique to wield that mental power!"

Bibi Dong slowly raised her right hand, her slender fingers grasping lightly at the air.

She could feel that her vast mental power was like a boundless ocean, yet because it lacked a method of guidance, it could only remain calm within her Sea of Consciousness.

If she could obtain the cultivation method of a Spirit Master, it would allow her to elevate her existing strength by a significant margin!

When that time came, she wouldn't even need to release her spirit; she could instantly crush those self-proclaimed extraordinary Title Douluo with mental telekinesis alone!

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei."

Bibi Dong's voice returned to its cold and majestic tone.

"Give the order: Spirit Hall is to immediately establish a special research group. Gather all spirit masters with mental attributes within Spirit Hall and task them specifically with collecting and deducing methods for mental power attacks."

"This higher-dimensional world is slowly revealing the essence of power to us bit by bit."

"Beyond these so-called cultivation techniques and methods, the essence of power is actually even more worthy of study!"

"Martial Path, physique, Spirit Master, Cosmic Origin Energy... there are too many powers that people on this continent have never noticed, powers that have always existed within our bodies but remained undiscovered. No one has even noticed them, and we have failed to master the techniques to utilize these forces!"

"As long as we can make good use of them, taking a step further from our current heights will be a simple matter!"
