Chapter 15 Discussion
After Xiao Chen woke up, he recovered very quickly. In just one hour, his soul power and mental power had recovered to about 70-80%, and he could move around without any problems.
When Xiao Chen came out of the hotel suite, Chrysanthemum Douluo was nowhere to be seen; only Hu Liena and Xie Yue were there.
Upon seeing Xiao Chen emerge, the two immediately rose and approached him. Hu Liena spoke first, "You've recovered?"
"Hmm!" Xiao Chen nodded.
Seeing Xiao Chen nod, a pink halo quietly flashed across Hu Liena's gaze as she looked at him.
Taking advantage of the moment their eyes met, Hu Liena sent a faint wisp of spiritual energy, like a wisp of smoke, quietly probing into Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness. She wanted to confirm whether Xiao Chen's spiritual barrier was truly as impenetrable as before.
This probing was done extremely discreetly, and even Xie Yue beside her did not notice it, taking it as just a normal observation.
This time, her mental power was blocked again.
However, this time the feeling was very different from the feeling she had when Xiao Chen was unconscious before.
Previously, when Xiao Chen was unconscious, she tried to wake him up with her mental power; at that time, she tried her best to mobilize her mental power but felt that Xiao Chen's mental sea was indestructible and impenetrable.
But now, she felt that if she strengthened her mental power just a little more, Xiao Chen wouldn't be able to resist her.
Xiao Chen could sense that Hu Liena was testing him, but he pretended not to know anything.
"Xiao Chen, do you have any spirit-type spirit skills in your spirit rings?" Hu Liena asked curiously.
"Yes, my second spirit ring for the Wooden Bow Martial Soul is a mental-type spirit skill!" Xiao Chen did not hide anything.
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena immediately said, "Try it on me once."
She wanted to see just how powerful the mental attack launched by Xiao Chen, a ranged offensive Soul Master, really was.
She possessed a mind control-type martial soul, and having suffered a setback at the hands of the system before, it was perfectly normal for her to want to confirm it personally.
Xie Yue, who was standing to the side, did not stop him. In his opinion, no matter how strong Xiao Chen's mental power was, it was impossible for him to threaten a level 41 mental control Soul Master.
Moreover, he also wanted to ask Xiao Chen why he was able to unleash such a fast speed before.
"Then be careful!" Xiao Chen warned.
"Come on!" Hu Liena nodded, indicating that Xiao Chen could make a move at any time.
Xiao Chen did not hold back. He knew that his mental strength was indeed a little stronger than that of other Soul Masters of the same level, but at most he could only be compared to a level 30 Soul Master. He definitely couldn't fool someone like Hu Liena, a level 41 Mental Soul Master.
"Mental deterrence!"
Xiao Chen let out a soft shout, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and a faint golden light flashed in his eyes. A spiritual shock force burst out directly from his pupils.
The invisible spiritual fluctuations were as sharp as those of a hawk, directly targeting Hu Liena's mental sea.
Hu Liena easily blocked the mental shock, but her heart was already in turmoil.
She could clearly sense that Xiao Chen's mental shock, originating from his eyes, was comparable in power to a Soul Venerable of level 30 or higher.
It should be noted that Xiao Chen is only level 23 and three years younger than her. His martial soul is a weapon martial soul that focuses on attack and destruction, yet he can unleash such a level of mental attack, which is truly astonishing.
"If a ten-year spirit ring's accompanying spirit skill is this powerful, then if it were accompanied by a spirit ring over five hundred years old, his mental attacks would probably be able to threaten me!"
Hu Liena was secretly amazed, then continued to ask, "Xiao Chen, why did you add a white spirit ring to your martial soul? Don't you know that the higher the age of the martial soul, the stronger its spirit skills?"
"Of course I know." Xiao Chen nodded slightly. "But I always believe that the age of a soul beast is not the only criterion for choosing a soul ring. Only the soul ring that best suits oneself is the best soul ring."
Xie Yue clearly disagreed with Xiao Chen's viewpoint.
He stated bluntly, "However, the age of your spirit rings does affect your cultivation speed. The higher your spirit power level, the greater the impact. If the age of your spirit rings is too low in the early stages, it might even cause you to stagnate at a certain realm, making further progress difficult!"
"Yes, these are common knowledge about cultivation. Don't you know that?" Hu Liena chimed in.
Xiao Chen immediately spoke up: "But I don't feel that my cultivation speed has slowed down, and the power of my soul skills is still quite good, no less than the soul skills granted by those hundred-year soul rings from Fabia Academy."
Hu Liena and Xie Yue were speechless for a moment upon hearing this.
Having witnessed Xiao Chen unleash his soul skill firsthand, the two naturally knew just how powerful it was.
Not to mention compared to the students of Fabia Academy, even the two of them, in terms of the power of their soul skills alone, might not be able to surpass Xiao Chen.
At this moment, the cultivation principles that the two had always adhered to began to waver slightly.
This was exactly the effect Xiao Chen wanted.
Now that he has joined the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena and Xie Yue are destined to become his teammates in the future.
Therefore, it was necessary for him to help the two of them change their traditional cultivation concepts in Douluo Continent in advance, which could also be considered as paving the way for their ultimate mission in the future.
Xiao Chen did not expect to persuade them with just a few words; he only hoped to plant a seed in their hearts and prepare them.
In this way, when they learn about their ultimate mission in the future, they will be more likely to accept it.
"Xiao Chen, I admit that your soul skills are extremely powerful, but that is definitely due to your twin martial souls; when you activate your soul skills, it's like you're performing a martial soul fusion skill all by yourself, and it doesn't have much to do with your ten-year soul rings!" Xie Yue said.
"A Martial Soul Fusion Technique?" Xiao Chen feigned surprise. He knew very well that he had never even been to school, so he shouldn't know anything about Martial Soul Fusion Techniques.
Upon seeing this, Hu Liena and Xie Yue immediately began to explain to Xiao Chen.
They had just finished explaining when Chrysanthemum Douluo returned.
Xiao Chen immediately bowed in greeting, but Chrysanthemum Douluo waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Chen did not need to be so polite.
"Xiao Chen, under normal circumstances, even if you have twin martial souls, you can't use them simultaneously in battle!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said.
"In my opinion, the reason you can use two martial souls simultaneously is because your 'bow' and 'arrow' martial souls are so well-matched. It is precisely because of this that you were able to complete the martial soul fusion skill all by yourself!"
"Including your previous technique of attaching four soul skills to a single arrow, this kind of soul skill fusion is similar to a martial soul fusion technique. This is the reason for your strength, and it has little to do with your ten-year soul ring!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at Xiao Chen and said, "It's obvious that Chrysanthemum Douluo heard what Xiao Chen said to Xie Yue and Hu Liena."
Xiao Chen knew very well that he might be able to sway Hu Liena and Xie Yue, but no matter how much he said, Chrysanthemum Douluo would never believe him.
"System, I've suddenly realized a serious problem!" Xiao Chen communicated with the system using his consciousness.
The system sprite chuckled mischievously upon hearing this, saying, "Host, are you worried that the experts from the Spirit Hall will force you to absorb a high-age spirit ring?"
"System, I have a feeling you're going to trick me again!" Xiao Chen saw the system's mischievous grin and knew that this little thing was up to no good.
