After finishing all this, Rengoku took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and began to focus his mind, preparing to cast the Spirit Transformation Technique.
He quickly formed hand seals with both hands, and a hazy, faint glow gradually spread around his body.
However, this glow was extremely weak. Only those with special abilities, people possessing Soul Vision, could perceive its existence.
But just as Rengoku waited expectantly for his soul to separate from his body, he discovered that nothing happened at all.
Filled with confusion, Rengoku slowly opened his eyes, his brows knitting slightly.
He carefully recalled every step of the Spirit Transformation Technique he had just performed, confirming that he had made no mistakes.
So he decided to try again.
This time, he first summoned a clone from his shadow, then switched to the clone's perspective.
He controlled the clone to perform the Spirit Transformation Technique on the spot. But the result was still disappointing. The clone showed no reaction either.
Instead, when he observed his main body through the clone's perspective, he was shocked to discover that his main body was emitting exactly the same glow as when Kato Dan used the Spirit Transformation Technique.
Rengoku frowned, his right hand lightly rubbing his chin as he pondered inwardly, "What exactly is going on? The Spirit Transformation Technique I learned from the Bond Star shouldn't have any problems."
Just then, the tent flap was lifted, and Kato Dan and Kurama Yakumo walked in together.
When their gazes fell on Rengoku, a hint of surprise appeared on both of their faces at the same time.
After all, both of them possessed soul-related talent. Even though Kato Dan had not yet activated the Spirit Transformation Technique, and Kurama Yakumo had not used her unique Ido ability to observe, they could still sense that Rengoku's soul was unusually active at this moment, relying solely on their keen perception of souls.
A normal person's soul was usually quiet and gentle, like a softly flowing stream.
However, Rengoku's soul state was like a blazing torch, radiating dazzling brilliance.
"Dan, help me take a look at why my Spirit Transformation Technique can't leave my body," Rengoku asked Kato Dan for help.
Kato Dan nodded. After exchanging a glance with Kurama Yakumo, the two of them simultaneously activated the Spirit Transformation Technique.
Kato Dan's soul instantly shot out from his body and hovered in midair.
Meanwhile, Kurama Yakumo switched perspectives, transferring her consciousness to the soul projection Ido she had created.
At this moment, Rengoku could actually see both of their soul bodies clearly.
At the same time, Kato Dan and Ido (Yakumo in the possessed state) also noticed the strange white light radiating from Rengoku's body.
"Rengoku, try attacking me and Ido," Kato Dan said as he took out a finely crafted kunai from his body.
It was worth mentioning that this kunai was no ordinary weapon, but a special one personally forged by Kato Dan using the Spirit Transformation Technique.
Rengoku's eyes sharpened. With a swift motion of his arm, the weapon he drew also began to glow with the same hazy white light.
He stared at his weapon in surprise. The white glow upon it was as cool and pure as moonlight, strikingly beautiful.
Next, Rengoku did not hesitate at all and swung his blade at the kunai Kato Dan had thrown.
With a crisp clang, the kunai shattered like fragile porcelain, breaking apart and turning into specks of starlight that dissipated into nothingness.
You had to know, this was no ordinary kunai, but one created by Kato Dan using soul power.
This meant that Rengoku's white-glowing weapon could attack soul bodies, and it was exceptionally sharp as well.
Holding his weapon, Rengoku looked toward Ido not far away, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.
"Yakumo, you try."
Before his words even finished, Ido lunged toward Rengoku, her speed as fast as lightning.
In her hand, she gripped a kunai that gleamed with cold light as well.
Facing the rapidly approaching Ido, Rengoku unexpectedly sheathed his weapon at his waist and planted his feet firmly.
He actually intended to face Ido's attack barehanded.
In the blink of an eye, Ido had reached Rengoku. The kunai in her hand pierced toward him fiercely, carrying a sharp whistling sound.
Another crisp clash of metal rang out. What shocked everyone was that Ido's kunai could not even pierce Rengoku's skin.
Rengoku lowered his head and looked at his completely uninjured palm, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Not only that, he did not feel even the slightest pain, as if that strike had been nothing more than a breeze brushing past him.
"In that case, try invading me with your soul."
Ido was somewhat surprised by the strength of Rengoku's soul power, but she still decided to try as he said.
So Ido put away her kunai, extended a slender jade-like hand, and slowly pressed it toward Rengoku's chest.
This was a unique tactic that allowed one to merge into the opponent's body and then launch a soul attack.
However, at the moment Ido's hand touched Rengoku's chest, an invisible and immense resistance suddenly surged forth.
Ido felt as if she had slammed into an indestructible city wall, and her entire body was violently bounced back.
"No, Clan Head, my soul simply can't invade at all!"
Ido stared at Rengoku in shock.
Rengoku, meanwhile, reached out and patted Ido's hair. The sensation felt almost the same as touching a real person.
The current Ido looked exactly like Kurama Yakumo, except it was the appearance of Yakumo after she had grown up.
Immediately after, Rengoku formed hand seals. As a flash of light passed, he successfully released the Spirit Transformation Technique.
In an instant, the Ido that had been standing in front of Rengoku vanished into thin air.
Not only that, when Rengoku stretched out his hand to try to touch where Ido had been, he found that his hand grasped nothing but empty space, unable to sense Ido's existence at all.
Rengoku thought for a moment, then instructed Yakumo, "Now try again."
Before his words finished, the Ido controlled by Yakumo suddenly leaned forward.
This time, something astonishing happened, she directly invaded Rengoku's sea of consciousness without any obstruction at all.
"All right, that's enough. Today's experiment can stop here."
After roughly figuring out the reason behind it all, Kato Dan's soul quickly returned to his body. Kurama Yakumo followed suit, releasing the Spirit Transformation Technique, her consciousness returning to her main body as well.
At this moment, Kato Dan looked at Rengoku thoughtfully and said, "Rengoku, after the tests just now, I know why you can't leave your body."
"The reason is that your soul power is simply too strong, to the point that it has already achieved soul materialization."
As a veteran who had studied the path of the soul for many years, Kato Dan saw through the crux of the problem at a glance.
Hearing this, Rengoku subconsciously rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "Soul materialization? That's a pretty novel concept. Dan, explain it to me in detail."
