Huo Yuhao lay on the snow in the frozen plane, meditating quietly while recovering from the feeling of exhaustion after being possessed by the Ice Emperor.
He has always felt that soul rings are very strange existences.
Every tenth level of a soul master's training is a bottleneck. If he does not obtain a soul ring, his soul power will continue to grow, but he will not be able to break through.
But everyone's soul power situation is different. Some people's soul power at one level can be as good as two or three levels of others. So what is the standard for each level of soul power?
His brain gradually regained consciousness, and Huo Yuhao's eyes refocused.
Today's process of leapfrogging and absorbing soul rings can be regarded as his experiment with this power system.
Feeling that he was almost rested, Huo Yuhao sat up from the snow and murmured:
"A soul master needs to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings every ten levels..."
"Yuhao, are you awake?" Tianmeng was playing with ice cubes as building blocks. Hearing Huo Yuhao talking to himself, he wondered, "What's wrong? Isn't this common sense?"
"It is indeed common sense, but there are several points that can be studied in depth with these two simple sentences."
Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers and smiled: "For example, why can a soul master obtain a soul ring every ten levels? Why must one hunt soul beasts to obtain a soul ring? Are other methods feasible?"
Bingdi sat aside, holding his head and asked: "Yuhao, why can you find a point to refute everything?"
Huo Yuhao disagreed and said: "Being able to question and think is how humans can continue to make progress."
"Just like boiling water will boil, and fruits will fall when they are ripe. Although it is common sense, there is always a fundamental principle behind it."
"And I'm not just dreaming, right? Didn't I prove today that as long as the conditions are right, you don't need to reach the full tenth level of soul power to get a soul ring?"
Tianmeng said impatiently: "Yuhao, what is your fourth soul skill?"
"Of course it was a spiritual suggestion." Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, "This soul skill is far more powerful than I imagined."
He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. The soul skill Hypnosis Tapir brought him had too many advantages.
First of all, the mental fluctuations when the mental suggestion is released are extremely subtle. Even a strong person whose mental power far exceeds that of Huo Yuhao may be difficult to detect if he does not deliberately perceive it.
Second, mental suggestion can be used safely and boldly on the target without worrying about any backlash.
Huo Yuhao can secretly influence other people's opinions through mental suggestions.
But this is just a subtle hint, not mandatory. Only when the target's mental power is much lower than Huo Yuhao's, or the other party's mental state is very depressed, mental hints can achieve the desired effect.
Whether the target will put the ideas suggested in his mind into action depends on the target's personality and state.
The reason why the hypnotic tapir was able to successfully seduce the Orange trio was that, firstly, their mental power was weak, secondly, they were students with very strong mobility, and thirdly, the bait happened to be a metal deposit that suited their liking.
If you are someone who is hesitant to do something, or if the ideas suggested are too outrageous, even if you give them some mental hints, they may not take action.
Of course it is impossible to directly make others commit suicide. Others are just hinted, but they do not become fools...
Therefore, even Huo Yuhao, the sender, cannot be sure of the final effect of the mental suggestion and whether it really affects the target.
However, he is still very satisfied with this soul skill. In his opinion, this is a powerful skill with strategic significance that can rival mental detection and simulation.
The Ice Emperor said: "Yu Hao, I still think it's a pity that you absorbed this soul ring, as your age is not very high."
Huo Yuhao said helplessly: "Spiritual soul beasts are so rare. If you can find one that's pretty good, just be content."
He released the four soul rings of the Demon Eye.
White, purple, black, purple...
Not only is he the first soul sect in the history of the continent to be less than level 40, but the year of his soul ring is probably the weirdest in history.
The third soul ring reached the astonishing 10,000-year level, but the fourth soul ring went back...
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "I believe this soul skill will play a very important role in the future."
"So, from now on, I will not reveal my fourth soul skill to any outsiders."
Tianmeng asked: "Yuhao, it seems that you really like this soul skill. Why?"
Huo Yuhao paused and said calmly: "Perhaps just like the spiritual and control systems of my Demon Eye Martial Spirit, I am a very controlling person."
"I have never cared much about material conditions. What I care about is the mental control of others."
Ice Emperor said in a deep voice: "Then you will definitely like soul skills such as mental control, just like that big-headed guy from the Noumenon Sect."
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "I don't really like to control others like dolls like that. Although it is a spiritual soul skill, what you control is just a body after all."
"I prefer, or enjoy, the process of persuading others and making them agree with me from the bottom of their hearts."
"That's why I like this soul skill so much."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao stood up, felt his body condition again, and asked: "Tianmeng, Ice Emperor, tell me, since I succeeded today, can I use the same method to directly absorb the fifth soul ring and
The sixth soul ring?”
Ice Emperor shook his head and said: "I have not been able to possess you for a long time. What I have absorbed today is only the thousand-year soul beast, so it can be completed within the duration. If you want to absorb the ten-thousand-year soul beast, interrupt it during the absorption process.
What should I do?”
Huo Yuhao sighed: "Forget it, Brother Hao should just practice honestly."
He stretched.
"Let me try this newly obtained fourth soul skill."
Tianmeng asked doubtfully: "Who are you going to use it on?"
"Who else can I use it on? Of course the three seniors."
Huo Yuhao grinned.
"And I found that this soul skill seems to be more effective on people who are asleep."
Outside, the sun has already risen high, and its warm rays are shining on every peak of the Jingyang Mountains.
Orange stretched out comfortably and muttered: "Well... I slept so comfortably. Keke, it's time to get up."
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and said to Keke. But her best friend also said: "Orange, let me sleep a little longer."
Orange smiled slightly, took out a timing soul guide and looked at it, and his sleepiness suddenly disappeared.
Oops, when have I ever gotten up so late?
She hurriedly got up and walked out of the tent, shouting: "Why is it already noon? Zimu, are you there?"
Last night was Zimu's vigil. Logically speaking, he should have woken up the others in the morning, but now he didn't. She was worried about something unexpected happening.
Normally, Orange would wake up by itself in the morning even if no one calls.
But she didn't find it strange that she, who was always used to getting up early, would sleep until noon.
She walked out of the tent and saw Huo Yuhao who was making lunch. The rich aroma came from the grilled fish in his hands.
Seeing Orange, he chuckled: "Senior Orange, good afternoon."
"Senior Zimu has gone back to the tent to catch up on his sleep. I think you were a little too tired last night, so I couldn't bear to disturb you."
