Sudden Pressure, Second Awakening of the Body Martial Soul!

"The so-called Unity of Heaven and Man is actually a special state that allows the body to become a part of the world, where soul power and breathing resonate with the outside. In this deep resonance, the combination of soul power and spiritual power becomes smoother, thereby driving the improvement of spiritual power."

"After years of experimentation by the Body Sect, the principles of practicing this secret technique have been summarized."

"First, a Body Sect disciple practicing the secret technique of Unity of Heaven and Man must reach the age of twelve. Second, only after the Second Awakening of the Body Martial Soul can the powerful might of Unity of Heaven and Man be truly unleashed."

As he spoke, Du Busi sighed softly: "I originally intended to wait until you reached twelve before teaching you this secret technique."

"The reason the age is set at twelve is that if one practices this secret method too early, it is very likely that, due to age, it will instead cause certain damage to one's body. At twelve, a Soul Master's body has gradually grown, and their mind has gradually matured. But you are the most outstanding disciple in the history of our Body Sect, so this rule... perhaps it can be changed for you."

Unity of Heaven and Man!

Ye An's eyes lit up suddenly; he was naturally no stranger to this secret technique.

In the original work, the young sect master of the Body Sect, Long Aotian, relied on Unity of Heaven and Man to defeat Huo Yuhao head-on in the Soul Master Tournament. Even after defeating Huo Yuhao, Long Aotian still had strength to spare, capable of continuing to defeat the others from the Tang Sect.

It could be said that in that battle, Long Aotian almost single-handedly pushed the Tang Sect into a desperate situation.

This was the power of Unity of Heaven and Man!

Previously, Du Busi had never mentioned Unity of Heaven and Man, and he had thought he was not yet qualified; he had not expected that it required waiting until the age of twelve to begin training.

"To reach the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, there is no specific training method; all you need to do is perceive. Xiao An, are... are you ready?"

Hearing this, Ye An was slightly stunned, but he reacted immediately, bowing slightly: "Teacher, this disciple is ready."

Du Busi nodded slightly, and the next instant, the terrifying pressure belonging to a rank 98 Super Douluo was released instantly without reservation. This terrifying pressure, like an invisible mountain, crashed down onto Ye An's body.

The moment he felt this terrifying pressure, Ye An felt as if his bones were groaning, his muscles were trembling, and every inch of his skin felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand, making even breathing incredibly difficult.

Under this oppression, Ye An was forced to release his Martial Soul.

Two purple Soul Rings suddenly rose slowly from beneath Ye An's feet. The second Soul Ring began to flicker quietly at this moment.

Second Soul Skill, White Bone Tempering!

This Soul Ring was obtained by Ye An after absorbing a 6,500-year-old Square-Armored Bone Rhino. The effect of the soul skill was to temper the entire body's bones, making them tougher, while also increasing all his own attributes by 150 percent.

But even with the addition of this soul skill, the terrifying pressure did not diminish in the slightest.

Crack—

The stone floor beneath his feet cracked instantly, and spiderweb-like fissures spread in all directions with Ye An's feet as the center.

"This is a necessary means to perceive the Unity of Heaven and Man. Close your eyes and open your senses."

Du Busi's voice was low and stern, and there seemed to be a hint of expectation in it.

Hearing Du Busi's voice, Ye An gritted his teeth and closed his eyes with difficulty.

"The so-called Unity of Heaven and Man is not about letting you fight against the world, but letting you merge into the world." Du Busi's voice penetrated the heavy pressure like a heavy hammer, striking Ye An's mind again and again, "The pressure you feel now is the result of the world's elemental energy condensing around you. Feel it, do not resist it."

Do not resist?

Ye An gritted his teeth and tried to relax his tense body bit by bit, letting himself stop fighting against the overwhelming pressure.

The moment he stopped resisting, the pressure did not diminish; instead, it became even clearer. He could feel those originally invisible forces in the air washing over his body like waves.

In just an instant, Ye An's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Du Busi stood to the side, a look of tension appearing on his aged face.

His right hand was already quietly raised, ready to withdraw his pressure at any time.

He knew very well what this level of oppression meant for a nine-year-old child; if he were not careful, it could cause irreversible damage to Ye An's meridians.

At only nine years old, perceiving the world under such terrifying pressure—was it really too much to ask?

But just at the moment he hesitated, a faint silver light suddenly lit up on Ye An's body.

Du Busi's pupils shrank violently.

This is... the Second Awakening of the Body Martial Soul!?

Du Busi's breathing choked, and a sense of panic immediately surfaced in his heart—at this moment, Ye An was undergoing the Second Awakening of the Body Martial Soul, and it was a Silver Rank Second Awakening; this should have been a good thing.

However, the Second Awakening of the Body Martial Soul usually requires the Soul Master to be in a peak state of blood and energy, and to complete the awakening in an extreme environment.

And now... the extreme environment, his pressure as a rank 98 Super Douluo certainly counted.

But Ye An's blood and energy were not in a peak state!

The Second Awakening was not an easy task; the process was full of risks, and one could even say it was gambling with one's life. There were not a few cases of failed awakenings. Once it failed... Ye An might be ruined!

Damn it!

Du Busi could not help but curse inwardly, but at this moment, the Second Awakening of the Silver Rank Martial Soul had already begun, and there was no way to stop it.

He could only hope that Ye An would be able to complete the awakening smoothly.

Du Busi had lived for hundreds of years and had seen the rise and fall of countless geniuses, having long since cultivated a temperament that remained unchanged even if Mount Tai collapsed before him. But at this moment, his cloudy eyes were full of regret and anxiety.

At this moment, the bones in Ye An's body were making crackling sounds, and the silver light around him surged like a tide.

Just as this silver light surged, Ye An felt as if his body had been thrown into a furnace.

An indescribable heat erupted from the depths of every one of his bones, as if something was about to break out of his bone marrow. That heat intertwined with the terrifying pressure imposed by Du Busi from the outside; trapped between internal and external forces, Ye An's consciousness became somewhat blurred.

And this heat... seemed not to be limited to the white bones in his body.

His rapidly beating heart also seemed to transmit a furnace-like sensation once again.

The heart had become a furnace, and the body... was another, larger furnace!
