"How much do you understand about the Ancestral Soul's power?" Fang Yun asked.
Ye Hongyu shook his head gently. "I have yet to see through it. Before you used Sound Swallower, I even had the feeling that a Half-Sage was controlling Emperor Langtuo's body. Combat instincts infinitely close to Sainthood are terrifying. Not only are its own combat techniques powerful, it can also see through our strengths and weaknesses. Most frightening of all, it can use that knowledge to devise the most effective attack or defense in a very short time. Without his Ancestral Soul, even if three more Emperor Langtuos came, I could slay them one by one. With it, the best I could manage would be mutual destruction."
"Indeed. The Celestial-Aspect Strike, Sage Aspect Strike, and Celestial Aspect Strike only borrowed a portion of that power. To put it plainly, they were merely ways to boost power enormously. But an Ancestral Soul borrows experience and consciousness directly from an ancestor. Fortunately, the Demon Barbarians are rather stupid. If the Human Race could develop a similar power, every use would surely make us stronger. Any Great Scholar would have an eighty percent chance of becoming a Half-Sage."
Ye Hongyu glanced at Fang Yun and fell into thoughtful silence.
Fang Yun froze for a moment, then said slowly, "Mr. Listening Thunder, please speak freely. I can take criticism."
Ye Hongyu shook his head gently. "It is not criticism. Your claim that any Great Scholar would have an eighty percent chance of becoming a Half-Sage is somewhat mistaken... You seem not to know the secrets concerning Saint Enfeoffment?"
Fang Yun immediately replied, "Before I left, Mr. Astonishing Dragon said that once I returned from Burial Saint Valley and became a Great Scholar, he would teach me about those matters."
