" Heart Separation Control does require Spiritual Power, but it doesn't increase Spiritual Power," Ning Tianze said with an apologetic smile. "If you're looking for methods to hone your Spiritual Power, I'm afraid I can't help you with that."
The concept of Spiritual Power is usually only known among advanced Soul Master. Ning Tianze knew about it because he came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Fang Lin got the answer, but was slightly disappointed.
Ye Lingling healed the injuries of the three members of the Seven Luminaries Team and returned to Fang Lin's side.
The short, stocky man followed, a gruff smile on his face, his tone mocking:
"Kid, you really went all out."
Fang Lin chuckled; the group had become acquainted through a misunderstanding.
Ning Tianze then Fang Lin to his teammates.
The short, stocky man Sihu, and he came from the Forging Capital. His Martial Soul was a mutated forging hammer.
The bald man was named Huo Lieyang, from the Balak Kingdom in the southern part of the empire. The slender woman was named Feng Qingniao, and her Martial Soul, as her name suggested, was the Wind Luan Blue Bird. She came from the Kalan Province in the eastern part of the empire.
The porcupine brothers and the Iron Staff Soul Master were also from different provinces of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Different places, north and south.
I don't know how Ning Tianze managed to get this group of people together.
As they were about to part, Ning Tianze spoke after a moment of contemplation.
"Although I don't know why you, a Power Attack System Soul Master, care about methods of cultivating Spiritual Power, I've heard from the sect elders that besides specific Soul Ring and Soul Bone, there's another way to temper and enhance Spiritual Power, though it's quite dangerous."
"What method?" Fang Lin asked, intrigued.
Risk is relative, as long as it is proportional to the reward.
"Similar to tempering one's physique, one's Spiritual Power will also increase over time by subjecting oneself to high-intensity pressure. However, as I said, this method is extremely dangerous and depends on the control of the person releasing it."
Fang Lin left, deep in thought.
After consuming the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Fang Lin's Spiritual Power had approached the level of Soul King. Only a high-level Soul Emperor could exert mental pressure on him and achieve a training effect.
The journey from the Soul Fighting Arena to the inn was less than three miles, and Heaven Dou Main Street was still brightly lit at night.
The stall owners across the street were extremely busy.
The Great Soul Arena is busiest at night, which is when her business reaches its peak.
Fang Lin specifically requested two bowls of fresh noodles. Ye Lingling hesitated for a moment, then silently accepted them, and then removed her veil, revealing her delicate face.
After finishing his rambling, Fang Lin let out a long sigh, still feeling unsatisfied.
It would be even better if the boss could improve the format; the oral delivery always leaves him feeling something is missing.
"I also know a way to temper one's Spiritual Power, but I don't know if it's suitable for you," Ye Lingling said suddenly after tasting the frozen milk.
"Please say so," Fang Lin said earnestly.
He had completely forgotten about Ye Lingling. As a top-tier Auxiliary System Martial Soul, the Spiritual Power of a high-level Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master was also top-notch.
"Just like Soul Power meditation, Spiritual Power can also be improved through meditation, but the prerequisite is to have an innate Sea of Consciousness. This is the same principle as having Innate Soul Power and being able to improve it through meditation," Ye Lingling continued to explain.
"How can I tell if I have Sea of Consciousness?" Fang Lin frowned in thought.
Logically, he should have it, but whether it's congenital or not is uncertain.
"It's not convenient to talk about this here." The girl stood up, her black veil once again obscuring her pretty face, revealing only a pair of bright blue eyes.
"I understand, I understand."
They got up, paid the bill, and returned to the hotel.
The rest of the members of Heaven Dou Imperial Team were already waiting, and they all gathered in Fang Lin and Yu Feng's dormitory.
Qin Ming, too, had just watched the entire battle from the audience.
"You played a fantastic game in the first seven-player team battle, but there are definitely aspects that you should review. I hope you can do this part on your own first, and then I'll decide whether to add anything."
Ye Lingling, who was in charge, was pushed forward.
A hint of unease flashed across the transparent girl's face.
" Fang Lin and Yu Tianheng performed very well in tonight's battle. I think we can continue to use this tactic."
Everyone's faces were filled with confusion, and Fang Lin scratched his head in bewilderment as well.
If it were a case of Tian Ji's horse racing strategy, Yu Tianheng would be considered a decent horse. If it weren't for Ning Tianze's assistance, Huo Lieyang, even with his advantage in Soul Power Level, might not have been able to win in a one-on-one situation.
" The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is very famous. I estimate that subsequent opponents will also focus on Yu Tianheng. As long as he can hold on, the others can launch a surprise attack and eliminate the opponent first."
Ye Lingling's voice was clear and calm, and the reactions of the others varied.
There was agreement, reflection, and... brilliance.
Yu Tianheng had a fascinating expression on his face. He felt that Ye Lingling was praising him, but it also seemed like she wasn't.
"That makes sense. Putting everything else aside, the way Brother Tian summoned his Martial Soul was both eye-catching and stylish. He's clearly the most capable fighter," Yu Feng added, his eyes lighting up.
"In that case, let's give this tactic a name: 'One Dragon Takes the Lead'!" Fang Lin continued smoothly.
"It sounds awful," Dugu Yan commented sharply. "It would be better to call it 'Thunder Dragon Emerges from the Sea.'"
The three of them, one after another, devised a tactic centered around Yu Tianheng without waiting for the parties' consent.
Seeing everyone's support, the blue-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief and moved on to the next topic.
"There's one more thing to note: we're participating in a seven-player game, and killing your opponent will result in a loss. Fang Lin needs to be careful with his moves in the future and try to knock your opponent out of the ring."
When Ye Lingling was treating Seven Luminaries, she discovered that the short, stocky man's internal organs were ruptured, and the incision was only inches away from his heart.
"I'll try my best to control it."
Fang Lin scratched his head, feeling helpless. He was using a knife, not a hammer; a hit from it would definitely cause serious injury, so it was difficult to hold back.
The group discussed some details that could be adjusted, such as Yu Feng paying attention to supporting Yu Tianheng, and the Shi Mo Brothers also being able to restrain the attack. Qin Ming listened with great satisfaction and finally made a summary.
"You did very well in your first battle. Ye Lingling will continue to serve as commander. Dugu Yan currently has the highest Soul Power Level and can serve as captain."
As the face of the team, the team captain naturally takes the lead in choosing the one with the highest Soul Power Level. Moreover, Dugu Yan will break through to the Soul Ancestor soon.
This part differs somewhat from the plot that Fang Lin remembered.
The debriefing session ended, and everyone dispersed.
After a while, Fang Lin pushed open the door, preparing to go out.
" Brother Lin, are you going out?" Yu Feng asked curiously, leaning closer. "Didn't Teacher Qin say we weren't allowed to run around like that?"
"I'll go and refine the tactics for the Thunder Dragon Emerges from the Sea." Fang Lin suppressed his curiosity and walked down the corridor to find Ye Lingling's room number.
The clang rang out.
The girl behind the door was still dressed as she had during the day, in a black dress that was neatly arranged, exuding a serene and elegant air.
"Come in and speak."
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan both chose single rooms instead of sharing, indicating that neither of the young ladies seemed to be short of Gold Soul Coin.
As soon as Fang Lin entered, he went straight to asking about the Sea of Consciousness.
Ye Lingling's face, hidden behind her veil, became somewhat embarrassed, and her tone became hesitant.
"How one experiences the Sea of Consciousness, I don't really know either. I can only try the method my mother gave me on you."
"In what way?"
While Fang Lin was still in a daze, the girl suddenly leaned forward, the black veil on her pretty face brushing against his nose, and their foreheads gently touched.
