"Oh!"
Hearing Xu Yang's explanation, the confusion in Dugu Yan's eyes dissipated somewhat, but she still seemed absent-minded, obviously the tragedy caused by these three Evil Soul Masters still affected her. There was even a hint of pity and sympathy in her eyes.
Noticing this, Xu Yang knew that his explanation might have been problematic, so he grasped Dugu Yan's shoulders with both hands and continued earnestly, "I'm not saying this to make you sympathize with them. Those Fallen are not worth sympathizing with; they deserve to die.
I want to tell you that we cannot go to extremes or take crooked paths in the pursuit of fairness. We must adhere to the bottom line of being human, otherwise our end will not be much better than those three."
"I know. I didn't sympathize with those three Fallen. After seeing those things, I felt that they deserved to be torn to pieces. I just feel sorry for that child, who lost all his relatives at such a young age because of the Fallen's cultivation. I don't know how he will live in the future."
Hearing this, Xu Yang knew that he might have been overthinking it. Thinking of the boy who was still unconscious, his heart was also filled with sympathy. He sighed slightly, put his arms around Dugu Yan, and said softly, "Don't worry! Bone Grandfather will take care of it. I just hope that child doesn't get stuck in a dead end in the future."
Dugu Yan nodded, nestled in Xu Yang's arms, admiring the moonlight, and adjusting her mood.
Two hours later, it was already late, and Xu Yang and Dugu Yan walked towards the village. Before they reached the center of the village, they heard a sound of smashing things, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.
The two followed the sound and saw the boy who had fainted earlier was constantly smashing the heads of two Evil Soul Masters with a stone. Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, and Ning Haiyan were standing not far away, silently watching all of this.
Xu Yang and Dugu Yan also stopped and watched.
"Bang!"
But due to years of malnutrition and prolonged smashing with stones, he had long lost his strength. As soon as he raised the stone, he fell to the ground and then looked at the two corpses on the ground, crying hoarsely.
"Wah! Wah!..."
Tears kept flowing down, mixed with the blood and brain matter on his face, making people feel terrified, but at this moment, no one had such thoughts, only sympathy.
The crying lasted for most of the night until the little boy fainted. Dugu Yan carried him back to the bed, wiped the tears and blood from his face, and found a set of clothes from a nearby house to change him into.
"Don't worry, the fact that he can cry means he's okay, just overwhelmed with grief!" Xu Yang stepped forward and gently patted Dugu Yan's shoulder to comfort her.
"Yeah! I hope he's okay..."
...
Early the next morning, the group embarked on the journey to Seven Treasure City, but there was a little boy in the carriage.
"What's your name?! How old are you this year?! What's your Spirit?!" Looking at the boy sitting there blankly, Dugu Yan leaned over and asked softly.
"My name is Ge Erdan. My Spirit is Bone, but my Innate Soul Power is only level three. The master who awakened my Spirit said that I will be at most a Soul King in the future..." As he spoke, the boy clenched his fists tightly, obviously very unwilling.
Hearing the Spirit and Innate Soul Power, everyone present except Xu Yang knew that this child would not achieve much in the future. Soul King was the limit. They felt that the Spirit Hall's Soul Master was right.
"You said your Spirit is what? Is it your own bones or a skeleton manifested like a Beast Spirit..." Xu Yang looked at the boy excitedly. For so many years, he had always wanted to explore the secret of the Body Spirit's secondary awakening and needed a Body Spirit Master to help him complete another conjecture, but unfortunately, he had never encountered one.
He didn't expect to meet one here.
"Xu Yang, why are you so excited?! Is there anything special about this child's Spirit?!" Dugu Yan asked curiously. Gu Rong and the other two also looked at Xu Yang with puzzled expressions. Although Body Spirits were rare, it wasn't like they didn't exist. This kind of Spirit didn't seem to be anything special!
Xu Yang didn't answer but kept staring at the little boy.
At this time, the little boy also seemed to realize that his Spirit was different and obediently replied, "It's my own bones, but it doesn't seem to be of much use. Besides making my strength greater, it doesn't have any other effects."
"It really is a Body Spirit, and the most important bones. As long as you cultivate well, your potential is no less than mine!"
Xu Yang also understood why Ge Erdan had Innate Soul Power. In a remote village like Peach Village, besides Spirit mutations possessing Soul Power, only the awakening of a Body Spirit remained.
"No less than you! Brat, what are you joking about?!"
Dugu Bo, Gu Rong, and Ning Haiyan looked at Xu Yang in disbelief. After so many years, the three of them were already certain that Xu Yang was at least a Super Douluo, and it was not impossible for him to even reach the legendary Limit Douluo.
But they simply couldn't believe that this skinny child with only level three Innate Soul Power had potential no less than his.
Dugu Bo pondered slightly, then hesitated and said, "Is it because of the Body Spirit you mentioned?!"
"That's right. I once saw a damaged book in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which described the Body Spirit... The Body Spirit is a special and rare type of Spirit. After awakening, in addition to the Spirit being oneself, the Innate Soul Power of Soul Masters who awaken other body structures and organs will not be too high, generally only level one Soul Power."
"But what does this have to do with this kid's potential being no less than yours!"
"Because the potential of the Body Spirit is not only linked to Innate Soul Power, but also to the degree of importance it occupies in the body. The more important the awakened Spirit is in the body, the greater the potential. Like Erdan, who has awakened his entire skeleton, as long as he knows the cultivation method of the Body Spirit, becoming a Titled Douluo is a certainty."
"I still don't quite understand!" Dugu Bo looked puzzled.
"The key lies in the cultivation method of the Body Spirit. As long as a method can be found, the Body Spirit of a Body Spirit Master can undergo a second awakening..."
"Second awakening, is it like our Spirit evolution after taking Immortal Herbs?!"
"Although the essence is the same, the external manifestations are different. According to the introduction in the book, the second awakening of the Body Spirit also belongs to Spirit evolution, but compared to us taking Immortal Herbs, the second awakening is more difficult. But once the awakening is successful, this evolution will bring earth-shaking changes to the Spirit, making it much stronger than even top Spirits, directly chasing the legendary God-level Spirit!..."
Hearing Dugu Bo's question, Xu Yang smiled and explained to everyone present, telling all the settings about the Body Spirit in his memory one by one, just to make Gu Rong and others believe in the power of the Body Spirit Master.
