This is not a talent, but the "Life" rune helping him to touch the rules.
"That's right, the rune has developed spirituality, possessing the ability to connect with the rules. You need to deeply understand this connection."
...
"Yuhao, let's go, let's head inside."
Earlier, Su Yu was just feeling the aura on the outskirts of the Endless Volcano.
Although theoretically, the harsher the environment, the more it stimulates the Martial Soul, speeding up cultivation, Su Yu was using ordinary Blue Silver Grass to feel that kind of will.
The temperature is too high. Even if one revives the vitality of the outside Blue Silver Grass using Ultimate Life Energy, the death rate is too fast, and leaving seeds for the process might even need Su Yu to catalyze them, which would not let him feel the desired will.
Instead, he felt the will on the outskirts and then ventured deeper into the Endless Volcano, simulating the fiery environment in his Observation Technique to strengthen his will.
With the seed of will, he got rid of his dependence on ordinary Blue Silver Grass and further used a more severe environment to improve the efficiency of his visualization.
The two ventured deeper into the Endless Volcano.
Huo Yuhao was using Ultimate Ice to cool down, but as they went deeper, it gradually became strenuous.
It's not that the flames here could suppress his Ultimate Ice, but that he kept converting Soul Power into Ultimate Ice to resist the high temperatures, which caused his Soul Power to deplete quickly.
"Withdraw Ultimate Ice," Su Yu said.
The purpose of their journey this time was to use the harsh environment of the Endless Volcano to challenge the limits of their bodies while employing the Awakening Technique of the Profound Nether Sect, aided by the Secret Technique within, to more smoothly complete the second awakening of their Martial Soul.
Su Yu had researched the Awakening Technique.
In his words, the Awakening Technique was very effective.
Proven effective by his personal test.
Ellex had mentioned before that because Su Yu was an external soul, his fusion with his original soul caused changes in his Martial Soul, putting it in a state prone to mutation, while greatly increasing its potential.
This was also the critical reason why he could quickly excavate Life Attribute in the first few Soul Rings.
After trying the Awakening Secret Technique, Su Yu also understood the key to the Secret Technique.
The state the Secret Technique stimulated the Martial Soul to enter was almost identical to Su Yu's own Martial Soul state.
This also meant that the Secret Technique was almost useless for Su Yu.
Of course, it's nearly useless for Su Yu's second awakening of the Martial Soul.
The Secret Technique is still useful.
It allowed Su Yu to feel the state of his Martial Soul and have a deeper understanding of this state prone to mutation. He also realized his Martial Soul was continuously in this state and noticed the potential crises it could bring.
With the help of the Secret Technique, Su Yu sealed this state.
In case one day he encounters an Evil Soul Master and gets polluted.
Su Yu was also glad that his initial choice of direction for attachment was purely Life Attribute, otherwise, with his initial Martial Soul state, absorbing a Poison Attribute Soul Ring would likely result in mutation from the source.
Now that Su Yu's Martial Soul has reached the Ultimate Life, even the most evil Soul Power of an Evil Soul Master would find it difficult to induce his Martial Soul to fall.
But after all, there are stronger Evil Soul Masters.
So, this Awakening Technique is still significant for Su Yu.
"Eh~"
Huo Yuhao suddenly made a soft sound of surprise.
Su Yu looked at Huo Yuhao, asking what he had discovered.
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing range was much farther than Su Yu's usual Spiritual Power coverage.
"Brother Yu, there are people over there."
An image appeared in his mind, showing a total of thirteen people confronting each other south of Su Yu and Huo Yuhao.
"Feng Kuang."
On one side, led by a Soul Sect member with three Soul Venerable escorts, while on the other side were nine Soul Masters emitting Fire Attribute aura, including seven Soul Sect, one Soul King, and even a Soul Emperor.
"Feng Kuang?" Huo Yuhao felt the name was somewhat familiar when he heard Su Yu speak.
"He's Brother Kuang of the Kuangyun Guard Team."
Huo Yuhao suddenly realized.
When they initially traveled to Tiandou City, they did not see Feng Kuang, unexpectedly meeting him here in the Endless Volcano.
"Does one Soul Sect and three Soul Venerables dare to challenge a Soul Emperor?" Huo Yuhao curiously asked.
They didn't see Feng Kuang initially and Su Yu hadn't educated Huo Yuhao about Feng Kuang.
"Feng Kuang was previously a Soul Saint and detonated his Soul Ring in a battle, now only having the cultivation of a Soul Sect."
However, before he detonated his Soul Ring, he was a disciple of the Essence Sect and had trained Qi and Blood Power extensively.
Even if his Soul Power regressed, his Qi and Blood Power combined with his Spiritual Power generated explosive combat power that a Soul Emperor shouldn't provoke."
Huo Yuhao felt very curious.
Essence Sect disciple?
This was his first time seeing a disciple from the Essence Sect.
Su Yu had told Huo Yuhao about the Essence Sect long ago during their first meeting, suggesting that Huo Yuhao should ideally go to the Essence Sect. Unfortunately, at that time, Huo Yuhao chose the Tang Sect.
As he learned more about the Essence Sect, Huo Yuhao increasingly realized how sound Su Yu's advice was.
Unfortunately, he was destined to have no connection with the Essence Sect.
However, despite the lack of fate, Huo Yuhao was very curious about this sect.
Now Feng Kuang was the first Essence Sect disciple he had met.
"Qi and Blood Power?"
Linking to Su Yu's second Sword in the Soul Burial Valley, Huo Yuhao nodded.
"If you continue cultivating Bone Patterns and refining Qi and Blood, you can also condense Qi and Blood Power to a certain degree." Su Yu said.
Huo Yuhao firmly remembered this in his heart.
In future Bone Pattern cultivation, he couldn't just engrave them simply anymore.
Simply engraving Bone Patterns only achieved the most superficial effect without optimizing the cost-to-benefit ratio.
Just this offhand remark from Su Yu was a massive boost to Huo Yuhao's cultivation.
This is the effect of cultivation experience.
...
"Feng Kuang, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply."
Blood Flame stared at Feng Kuang, a trace of dread flashing in his eyes.
The strength Feng Kuang had just displayed shocked him.
Despite only being a Soul Sect, he possessed such terrifying Qi and Blood Power, as well as Spiritual Power.
"Hmph, if I didn't have some strength, we would've been killed to silence witnesses, right?"
Feng Kuang's Qi and Blood surged as his Spiritual Power pressured the opposition.
If his strength wasn't strong enough, they might have fallen this time.
This Blood Flame Sect discovered a Blood Essence production area. Initially, the Sect Leader Blood Flame approached the Kuangyun Guard Team for help in selling Blood Essence.
At the time, Blood Flame's cultivation was only at the Soul Sect level.
But by leveraging the profits from selling Blood Essence and other unknown opportunities, his Soul Power rapidly advanced to the Soul Emperor level.
Recently, the frequency of shipments has also increased, prompting Feng Kuang to bring more personnel for escort, seemingly intending to silence witnesses, tightly secure the information about the Blood Essence, then switch to another buyer for trade.
"Now I'm very curious about what opportunities you discovered."
Feng Kuang stared at Blood Flame, licking his lips and baring his teeth.
When a tiger falls to the plain, it is bullied by dogs.
If I don't show my fangs, do you really think I'm a cat?
Since you, Blood Flame Sect, made the first move, don't blame me for turning hostile.
Blood Essence is also an important resource for the Essence Sect. This Blood Essence production area controlled by the Blood Flame Sect not being tracked by the Essence Sect was left by Feng Kuang to maintain economic resources for the Guard Team.
Unexpectedly, the Blood Flame Sect jumped out to go solo?
Hmph, do they really think anyone apart from the Kuangyun Guard Team can take over the Blood Essence?
"Who!"
Feng Kuang's eyes shifted as he suddenly shouted, looking towards Su Yu and Huo Yuhao's direction.
"What a keen intuition," Huo Yuhao thought with surprise.
It's not that his detection was sensed but rather just pure intuition detecting the peeping, and then accurately locking onto the enemy.
"Let's go."
Su Yu wasn't nervous about being discovered and led Huo Yuhao forward.
"Su Yu?"
Feng Kuang recognized Su Yu and sighed in relief.
"Brother Kuang, what happened here, need any help?"
"No need, just some clowns. I can take care of it myself," Feng Kuang waved off, with Qi and Blood surging, then he punched towards Blood Flame.
Behind Blood Flame, a phantom sea of flames surged, the surrounding flames converging towards him.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Flame Demon Body!"
