Chapter 38 Electrox's Guidance, the Prototype of the Soul Art

"Ugh..." Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao had never seen such a bloody scene before, and they felt slightly uncomfortable.

As a Soul King, Cai Kun had seen many such cases, but a hint of surprise was still on his face.

Shrek Academy's Soul Hunting Office primarily hunts souls for lower-grade students. It often involves directly suppressing the soul beasts needed by the students, who then kill them in one strike and absorb their soul rings.

Violent killing like Wang Dong'er is really quite rare.

However, what Cai Kun cared about most were the two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple.

I had heard before that a freshman with a second soul ring after a thousand years had defeated an older student in the Soul Arena, and it seems that it was Wang Dong'er.

She's quite pretty, but I never expected her to have such a violent personality.

The Wind Baboon is a race of spirit beasts that likes to hide in the shadows and ambush passersby or beasts. They almost never consider the strength of their opponents, and their vicious nature is somewhat like the monkeys in a mountain in Wang Dong'er's previous life.

After the wind baboon died, a white halo gradually rose from its corpse.

Why do spirit beasts develop spirit rings, and how do these spirit rings appear out of thin air? Despite the passage of ten thousand years, no one in the spirit master world has been able to answer these questions.

Even with careful observation, Wang Dong'er found no clues.

"Huh? The rules of your world are quite interesting." An old voice suddenly rang in Wang Dong'er's ears.

"Senior Electrolux? You're awake?" Wang Dong'er gently patted the Haotian Token in her package and whispered.

"If you don't mind, you can just call me Elder I," Electrolux said with a smile. "Always calling me 'senior' makes it sound a bit formal."

"Yes, Elder Yi." Wang Dong'er readily complied and immediately changed her form of address. "You mean, can you discover the principle behind how these soul beasts form soul rings?"

"No." Electrolux first denied Wang Dong'er's statement, and then said, "I am not yet able to explore the underlying principles."

"However, I did discover something rather interesting."

"I'd like to hear the details." Wang Dong'er withdrew her martial soul, gave Xiao Xiao a waiting gesture, and then listened attentively to Electrolux's explanation.

"The souls of spirit beasts are hidden within those things you call spirit rings."

"A hidden soul?" Wang Dong'er suddenly thought of the master.

Yu Xiaogang, who calls himself a master, claims to have studied theories all his life, but he didn't know that absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring would cause a soul shock. He only found out after Xiao Wu reminded him.

If Tang San hadn't already possessed some kind of cheat ability, he probably would have been tricked into becoming an idiot by Yu Xiaogang.

However, the current Shrek Academy has filled in this gap by referring to the book "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul" left by the master, which has already been covered in class.

The need to be careful about soul vibration when absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring has become another theory of Yu Xiaogang, "saving" generation after generation of young soul masters.

The so-called soul tremor refers to the special ability produced by the undissipated soul of a high-level soul beast when it dies.

Generally speaking, only soul beasts that are over ten thousand years old possess this special ability.

Therefore, only after a Soul Master reaches level 50, when their physical and mental strength have improved to a certain extent and they have developed a high resistance to the energy impact and soul vibration of the Soul Ring, will they choose to absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Electrolux's current statement is essentially an expansion of the concept of soul vibration.

Originally, Soul Masters naturally assumed that since only Soul Beasts over ten thousand years old possessed the ability to vibrate their souls, Soul Beasts under ten thousand years old obviously wouldn't have this ability, and therefore wouldn't have any "undisturbed souls."

But now, that idea has been shattered.

Wang Dong'er recounted the concept of soul tremors to Electrolux. Electrolux pondered for a long while before replying, "Based on my observations, your world's research on souls and spiritual power is not yet sufficiently in-depth."

"Or rather, a powerful enough individual discovered it but kept it a secret, since... it doesn't seem to be important information to people in your world."

"Anyway, absorbing low-level spirit rings is almost completely safe, so what's the point of saying it?"

"But I have done some research on the spiritual and spiritual path, and in my opinion, this is precisely a good direction for research."

"Wang Dong'er, let me ask you this: when a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring, he absorbs the pure energy within and uses it for his own purposes. In doing so, the less powerful soul power and other impure energies are naturally filtered out."

"But if the soul beast's soul is preserved, and the soul ring remains on the soul master, could it be considered a symbiotic relationship?"

Hearing Electrolux say this, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but admire him.

She had originally planned to discuss the Soul Spirit Technique after Electrox woke up, but unexpectedly, an accidental Soul Hunt led Electrox to directly give her the concept of the Soul Spirit Technique.

However, Wang Dong'er still refuted Electrolux's statement: "Elder Electrolux, according to you, you think this is a symbiotic relationship, but I want to say that only soul beasts that have lived for more than ten thousand years have developed some intelligence. Do you think these low-level soul beasts would understand the meaning of this symbiosis?"

"Moreover, even if it were a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, what would it think if you killed its long life and then told it that it could coexist with the short-lived human?"

"Excellent." Electrox's tone was appreciative. "You've thought of everything very comprehensively. That's why it's worth studying. The purpose of this research is to help these soul beasts understand symbiosis, and even become willing to coexist with soul masters."

Wang Dong'er shook her head slightly, "I'm afraid that possibility is not very high."

In the original work, as the leader of the Star Dou Great Forest under the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian did "understand" the meaning of soul spirits and also reached a contract with Huo Yuhao.

But what has become of the Star Dou Great Forest after ten thousand years?

Most of the soul beasts that Di Tian found who were willing to coexist as soul spirits were also nearing their end, and that's why they decided to take a gamble.

Ultimately, as long as Soul Masters need Soul Rings and Soul Bones to level up, the Soul Master group and Soul Beasts are inherently bound by an irreconcilable conflict.

"However, what you said is indeed correct, Elder Yi. This is a direction worth exploring."

"We've been chatting for quite a while now, so go back now. I'll come back to discuss things with you when it's quieter." Electrox left those words and then fell silent again.

Wang Dong'er casually examined the baboon's corpse before stepping back into the group.

"What's wrong, Dong'er? What just happened?" Xiao Xiao came up immediately and asked with great concern.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something. Let's continue searching for spirit beasts."
