Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

"So powerful!" Huo Yutong waved her little fist, excitedly sharing her joy with An Zhen. She felt that she was in a better state than ever before, and even had a faint feeling that she was about to transcend this world.

"Having absorbed the soul ring and soul bone of the Evil Eye Tyrant, I gained four soul skills, one of which was the terrifying Time-Space Light that the Evil Eye Tyrant had previously released. My soul power level directly reached level ninety-eight, which is the threshold of Limit Douluo. However, because I have not yet condensed my third soul core, I cannot break through to the next level."

The soul power contained in the soul rings and soul bones of a soul beast with nearly 800,000 years of cultivation is enormous. In addition, there are the several divinely bestowed soul rings that Huo Yutong previously gave to the Ice Dragon King martial soul to absorb. Even though the soul ring age was directly increased to level 98 through the divine test, and the progress bar from level 98 to Limit Douluo was filled, Huo Yutong's soul power is still in a state of fullness.

Huo Yutong looked at An Zhen. She didn't know why, but she had a vague feeling—An Zhen seemed a little different today than before.

Huo Yutong couldn't help but move closer, her bright, watery eyes fixed on An Zhen, as if trying to discern something from her.

"Amazing!" Huo Yutong exclaimed sincerely. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was completely bewildered, wondering what was so amazing.

From Huo Yutong's perspective, countless laws were quietly evolving within An Zhen, with the heavens clear and the earth turbid, each in its proper place. The five elements intertwined and flowed, endlessly regenerating. From the beginning of life to the end of all things, the surging sea and the vibrant forest, time flowed like a long river, while space remained as stable as a rock.

This was the first time Huo Yutong had ever seen so much power of laws.

Furthermore, these numerous laws form a wondrous connection with each other, intertwining together to create a harmonious and unified aesthetic, as if they have become a single entity.

It's just like……

Huo Yutong suddenly turned her head and looked around, at the sky above her head and the earth beneath her feet, as if it were a world! Everything was contained within this world, together forming a part of it.

"Stop looking." An Zhen gently touched Huo Yutong's brow with his finger, severing Huo Yutong's perception of him with a wisp of divine sense, preventing Huo Yutong from being attracted to his world, and said softly, "This is not Yutong's path, you must not get lost in it."

"Uh-huh!"

Huo Yutong suddenly shuddered.

I felt like I was completely absorbed in it just now.

He seemed drunk.

Huo Yutong asked with some confusion, "Brother Anzhen, what did I just do?"

“I was drawn to my world,” Anzhen explained.

He currently lacks sufficient control over his world; various laws easily manifest, imperceptible to the weak and easily avoided by the strong. For example, the Destruction Master and the Life Master have already forged their own paths and steadfastly follow them, naturally unaffected by An Zhen's world. Huo Yutong, however, is caught between these two extremes; she can sense some of these laws, but hasn't yet formed her own, making her easily influenced by others.

An Zhen gave a brief explanation, then said in a serious tone, "Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die."

"Yutong must forge her own path and never imitate others, otherwise she will only become someone else's appendage, forever inferior to others, and her growth throughout her life will be limited."

Imitation is ultimately just imitation, and this kind of unique understanding is difficult to achieve perfectly, since no two people in the world are exactly alike. Like Anzhen's rubbing, it's similar to printing, a copy based on the original, but what's copied is only power; to truly understand the laws, one still needs to comprehend them on their own.

"Mm." Huo Yutong nodded seriously.

“However…” Looking at Huo Yutong’s serious face, An Zhen couldn’t help but lower her head to taste Huo Yutong’s cherry lips. After finishing, An Zhen continued, “You can’t imitate it, but you can learn from it.”

As she spoke, An Zhen conjured a ball of spiritual energy and handed it to Huo Yutong. "This contains some of my insights and applications of divine sense, my understanding of the laws of the soul, and the experience of Teacher Destruction and Teacher Electrolux in this area."

Standing on the shoulders of giants allows us to move faster. "Is it alright to give this to Yutong?"

Huo Yutong looked worried, after all, it wasn't just An Zhen's brother who was involved, there were other people too.

An Zhen gently shook her head, "It's alright. Yu Tong is one of my people. We're all on the same side. Yu Tong can call them 'teacher' and 'mistress,' and it's not a very important or confidential matter."

"Thank you, Brother Anzhen." Upon hearing this, Huo Yutong happily accepted the gift.

"Is it just a verbal thank you?" An Zhen smiled and gently pinched Huo Yutong's slightly chubby cheeks.

Huo Yutong blinked, then nodded seriously, "Of course, it's just a verbal thank you."

Huo Yutong shielded the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm from its external perception, then skillfully squatted down.

"Sigh~"

Anzhen gasped.

Who says verbal thanks aren't sincere enough!

Anzhen expressed her willingness to accept.

A few hours later.

An Zhen and Huo Yutong returned to Mingdu.

In Huo Yutong's bedroom, An Zhen played with the little girl's white-stockinged feet while asking, "Yutong, are you planning to condense your third soul core next?"

"Yes." Huo Yutong nodded and explained her thoughts.

"Now that I have divine sense, the probability of success should be greater. I want to try it in Brother Anzhen's world first."

After all, in the history of Shrek Academy, there was no record of anyone condensing a third soul core. It was an unprecedented feat. She knew that her brother Anzhen had never condensed a soul core, so she had to try it herself.

“That’s a good idea,” Anzhen nodded gently.

Regarding the third soul core, perhaps only Di Tian might have some experience with failure. However, currently, Di Tian and Yu Tong are the Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King, two former God-King level powerhouses, respectively. Logically, they shouldn't be hindered by such a "minor" issue. However, with his virtual world, they can try freely, and even if they fail in the virtual world, there won't be any negative consequences in reality.

"Yutong can learn about this first."

An Zhen placed his fingertip on Huo Yutong's brow and transmitted the meditation method he had prepared to Huo Yutong.

"I call this meditation method 'The World.' It imitates the breathing of my virtual world growth. It does not require the condensation of a soul core. Instead, it uses all the meridians in the body to build a stable Great Circulation, similar to a large soul power vortex that is constantly generating. It is equivalent to breaking down the original core soul core into countless small parts and dispersing them. Theoretically, after breaking through to the Limit Douluo level, the effect is equivalent to 1.8 times that of a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core."

The data for the Yin-Yang complementary dual-soul core comes from Di Tian. As for why it's only theoretical...

It's not that An Zhen didn't break through to the Limit Douluo level; he wasn't just standing there for the past two months. Rather, his current situation cannot be considered his theoretical upper limit. (End of Chapter)
