Douluo: I'm in Peerless, Fake Gods

Su Luoheng found his second soul skill quite interesting.

"Teacher, if I go all out with projection, I can probably create five Level 4 soul tools."

"You can't use so many soul tools yourself, can you? You're not planning to sell them, are you?" Ran Yuming joked.

"Hahaha~"

Hearing this, Su Luoheng also laughed.

However, thinking along those lines, it seemed... selling soul tools wasn't a bad idea?

The soul tools he projected were one level lower, but they were still genuine soul tools. And since they were made of soul power, there was no need to consider costs when setting prices. Even selling them at half the market price would be a guaranteed profit for him.

With this thought, Su Luoheng's eyes gradually brightened.

This idea was really good!

Selling soul tools with no cost, he had discovered a surefire business opportunity.

His teacher's casual remark had pointed him in a direction.

When he had time, he could try it out in the market. There were many stalls selling soul tools on the streets of Ming Capital. Whether he sold them to merchants or customers, as long as they were sold, regardless of the price, it would be a guaranteed profit for Su Luoheng, who had no cost expenditure.

"..."

After testing his soul skill's capabilities, Su Luoheng returned to the dormitory.

Ran Yuming was very considerate of his disciple.

In the Jingyang Mountain Range, one had to remain vigilant at all times. Even eating and sleeping required no relaxation. Being tense for too long would be unbearable for anyone's spirit, let alone the young Su Luoheng. Therefore, after recording the soul skill information, Ran Yuming gave him a day off to rest and adjust his state.

As for the academy's classes today, missing half a month wouldn't make a difference for one day.

The reality was indeed so.

Once the excitement of researching soul skills faded, the fatigue and weariness of the past few days all came rushing in. Su Luoheng felt overwhelmingly sleepy and lay down on his bed, closing his eyes to sleep.

Chapter 68: Sea of Spirit

Everything in the room was silent.

Only Su Luoheng's faint breathing could be heard.

The environment was peaceful, serene, and warm, feeling extremely comfortable and relaxing.

After a while, the completely relaxed Su Luoheng had fallen into a deep sleep. In a state of drifting consciousness, he inexplicably entered a deep level.

"..."

He slept for a long time like this.

In a daze, Su Luoheng felt surrounded and squeezed by something dense, like the feeling of constantly sinking in seawater.

Su Luoheng's breathing quickened, and his brows furrowed tightly!

He desperately wanted to open his eyes.

With his brows knitted and after several struggles, he finally opened his eyes.

However, the scene that met his gaze stunned him: the scene before him was not his familiar student dormitory, but a world of flawless white.

In this space, there were countless points of light, stretching as far as the eye could see.

And he himself was situated amidst this white world of churning clouds.

Where was this place?

Su Luoheng was still a little confused.

Yet, strangely, when he focused his gaze into the distance, his vision was not obstructed in the slightest. Wherever he wanted to see, his gaze could extend to every corner of this space, any position; as long as he wanted to see, he could see it.

His gaze fell upon the same white world.

However, this place... gave him a sense of familiarity.

Just as he retracted his gaze, he suddenly saw a gray bead floating in mid-air.

This was Electrolux's dormant divine sense.

"This is... my Sea of Spirit..."

Finally, Su Luoheng's gaze cleared, and a look of realization appeared in his eyes: this was a place he could not reach when he was awake – the Sea of Spirit.

The moment he saw the gray bead, he remembered.

The Sea of Spirit was where soul masters stored their consciousness and spiritual power, and it was of utmost importance to them!

Logically speaking, the current Su Luoheng should not have appeared here voluntarily.

Because normally, soul masters of too low a level could not condense their spiritual body independently. And when absorbing a soul ring, due to the impact of the resentful residual spirits, the Sea of Spirit's self-protection mechanism would trigger, briefly condensing a spiritual body that could fight and be controlled. It would then automatically disappear after the soul ring absorption was complete.

Without a special opportunity, ordinary soul masters would have to reach at least Soul Sect to achieve this.

And even for a spirit-attribute soul master like him, it would only be possible at Soul Venerable.

This time, however, was an accident.

Su Luoheng's mental state at that moment was in the process of transitioning from tension to relaxation. The intense spiritual fluctuations generated in this instant caused him to enter the Sea of Spirit prematurely.

"How did I get here?"

Su Luoheng muttered softly, curiously observing his surroundings.

This was the first time he had appeared here in his spiritual form, voluntarily, without absorbing a spirit ring.

At the same time, spiritual particles floating in the air began to attach themselves to him.

Su Luoheng felt something.

He immediately closed his eyes, carefully sensing the spiritual particles.

Soon, he found the knack. Under his active guidance, the surrounding spiritual particles rapidly gathered!

"Buzz--Buzz--"

The spiritual particles enveloped Su Luoheng like a blooming lotus.

Just as he was surprised by this, he suddenly realized that his spiritual body was subtly changing. These peculiar spiritual particles were actually helping him cultivate!

A moment later, Su Luoheng dispersed the spiritual particles and opened his eyes.

He finally understood why even high-level spirit masters who weren't spirit-attribute users had strong spiritual power. It turned out that cultivating a spiritual body in the Sea of Spirit had such a wonderful effect.

After calming his emotions slightly.

Su Luoheng changed his position and continued to draw in spiritual particles.

However, after a short while, he dispersed them again and moved to another spot to continue.

He repeated this process of drawing in and dispersing...

Each time, he would change his position after only a few seconds of drawing them in.

Su Luoheng was not changing positions aimlessly. He was testing whether the number of spiritual particles attracted varied in different locations within the Sea of Spirit.

"..."

A moment later, Su Luoheng got up again.

This time, however, he did not continue to change positions. Instead, he walked directly to the gray bead that Electrolux had transformed into.

"Just as I suspected~"

Su Luoheng's eyes flickered as he murmured.

It was as he had guessed; the distribution of spiritual particles was indeed different.

After careful comparison, he discovered that the closer he was to the gray bead, the more spiritual particles he could attract.

However, there was a critical point to the increase. This distance was about five meters. Once beyond this range, the number of spiritual particles he could attract would drop significantly.

This was undoubtedly caused by Electrolux.

But Su Luoheng was not surprised; he had already anticipated this.

The moment Electrolux entered his Sea of Spirit, his incomplete divine sense had bound itself to him. Naturally, to recover, he needed to absorb the spiritual particles here to replenish himself. Therefore, the closer he was to the gray bead, the more spiritual particles there were. And this so-called five-meter range was the area where he began to absorb spiritual particles.

He had some guesses about Electrolux's situation these past few days.

According to the original work's introduction of him and Huo Gua, Elder Yi should have descended to the Douluo Continent much earlier. However, he had only been floating around as fragments of divine sense, so his location was not fixed. At this point in time, Huo Gua was still in the Duke's Mansion, so it was normal for Elder Yi to appear in the Jingyang Mountain Range.

As for why he chose him... Su Luoheng was also unsure about this.

However, he knew that having Elder Yi, this cheat, would definitely be beneficial for his growth!

Looking at the gray bead before him.

Su Luoheng had a sudden idea and tried to touch it with his spiritual power. But as soon as his spiritual power entered the bead's range, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, losing all sense.

Although the gray bead was in his Sea of Spirit, they did not interfere with each other.

Even though Elder Yi was currently just a fragment of divine sense, he was not someone Su Luoheng could probe.

After a series of attempts, Su Luoheng found a spot rich in spiritual particles and sat down cross-legged, beginning to increase his spiritual power.

He didn't know when he would be able to enter here again.

Of course, he had to seize the opportunity before leaving and increase his spiritual power as much as possible.

As for Elder Yi, who existed in the Sea of Spirit, he looked forward to his awakening. This Necromancy Holy Mage had too many good things: Light Magic, Necromancy Magic, the Undead Plane, knowledge of the Holy Demon Continent, and more. Even one of these would be of great help.

Whether he could achieve his small goal depended on this person!

Frankly speaking, Su Luoheng greatly admired Electrolux, this elder. Both his character and his strength were impeccable.

It was his good fortune to have gained his favor.

Chapter 69: Power Struggle

After returning to the academy, he resumed his monotonous three-point, one-line life.

Su Luoheng still made Rank 2 soul tools in the laboratory every day, but the types varied.

In Ran Yuming's words, this was building a foundation. When he could skillfully use soul inscriptions and make Rank 3 soul tools, it would naturally come to pass.

In the central district of Ming Capital, the Heng Prince's Estate.

The vast, empty hall was silent, as if brewing some storm.

Deep within the hall, Xu Jinyu sat on a chair in the main chamber. His hands were clasped, fingers intertwined, eyes slightly closed, brows furrowed with a hint of fatigue.

His complexion was pale, suggesting his injuries from the Jingyang Mountain Range had not yet healed.

"..."

Outside the door, a guard's voice suddenly announced.

"Your Highness."

"What is it?"

Hearing this, Xu Jinyu slightly raised his eyes, his gaze as cold as ice.

Outside, the guard knelt on one knee and reported, "Steward Chen has returned."

Xu Jinyu said indifferently, "Let him in."

"Yes."

"..."

"Thump-thump--thump-thump--"

Soon, a hurried sound of footsteps approached from afar. A moment later, an old man in a blue robe, appearing to be in his fifties but with a head full of white hair and a gaunt figure, walked in.

"Your Highness."
