Douluo Jueshi: I can only explode the ring, all I can do is operate.

Chapter 292 Spirit or No Spirit
"This Xiao Hongchen, amazing! Amazing! I underestimated him! He actually thought of using the characteristics of his martial soul to directly fuse with the soul tool. Truly, flesh and blood are weak, but the soul tool can ascend! Hahaha!"

In the stands, Ning Wuque not only sat up straight but even stood up as he spoke. He placed his hands on the railing and looked at Xiao Hongchen below the stands. Their eyes met, and even though they were a hundred meters apart, they could see what the other wanted to convey.

Laughing at the World: This time, let's fight to our hearts' content!

Ning Wuque: Okay!
"All that fancy stuff. If I ever run into him again, I'll burn his whole body to a crisp, hmph~"

Sitting in her seat, Wu Feng looked at Xiao Hongchen below the stage with utter disdain. He was nothing more than a metal giant; her current flames were the most effective counter to metal.
"If this guy were to honestly study positional defense, I might be a little afraid of him using the advantages of his soul tool. But now that metal humanoid is a sitting duck, I can burn him to ashes in no time with my Dragon Flame!"

"Feng Mei, don't be so arrogant. Let's see what Wu Que has to say first."

"Oh~"

Wu Feng lowered her head and gave a soft "oh". Although she complied with Ning Tian's wishes, everyone could tell that she was still quite firm in her previous ideas. This self-inflicted injury was clearly giving her points. She was already praying in her heart that she would meet Sun Moon Royal Academy instead of Shrek Academy, Body Sect, and Holy Spirit Sect, and strive to defeat the other side and reach the top four!
Most of the others present felt the same way. Although they didn't know why Ning Wuque suddenly took it so seriously, they didn't really care about Xiao Hongchen now, since Wu Feng's words made sense.

Giving up its greatest advantage as a Soul Master—[output firepower]—in exchange for becoming this giant metal melee unit is really putting the cart before the horse.

At the same time, there is another point, that is, Xiao Hongchen at this moment does not have the soul power pressure of a traditional soul master, that is, people can know how powerful he is just by feeling.

Perhaps it was the inherent properties of metal that made him extremely reserved; if he didn't make a move, it would be very difficult for anyone to confirm his true strength!
In response, Bei Bei, who is now the most composed member of the team besides Ning Wuque, stood up and went to Ning Wuque's side to look down at the battle below.

On the arena, the metal giant Xiao Hongchen stood there stiffly, not attacking, just staring blankly at his opponent.

The second person to challenge Xiao Hongchen was a Beast Soul Master. Having learned from the previous experience, he watched Xiao Hongchen warily from the start, looking for a way to find his weakness. However, seeing that the other party did not move and did not intend to attack, he boldly began to probe, using his soul skill to strike Xiao Hongchen's metal body from a distance.

Unfortunately, it was useless. That soul skill didn't even scratch the paint on the metal giant's exterior, nor did it produce a single spark.

If there were real-world data, a -1 mark would definitely appear above Xiao Hongchen's head at this moment, followed immediately by a +1.

It is not very harmful, but extremely humiliating.

This match was an absolute one-sided crushing defeat. The second opponent used all his skills and even engaged in close combat at the end, but he still couldn't inflict the slightest damage on Xiao Hongchen.

The second and final challenge ended dramatically with the opponent collapsing from exhaustion, while Xiao Hongchen simply stood there motionless, only slowly bowing his head after the opponent was too tired to move.

Silence, yet it seemed to be a silent mockery:
That's it?

"next."

Finally, his voice rang out, and this extremely oppressive scene immediately rendered the remaining opponents powerless. They were somewhat desperate. Was such a powerful opponent really what they had to face?
How should we face this! Going up now would only make us a laughingstock.

"I don't understand."

On the viewing platform, Bei Bei shook his head and asked in a questioning voice in Ning Wuque's ear. After experiencing the two evil soul master incidents, he had developed a very high level of trust in Ning Wuque, far beyond what others could match.

Like him were Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan. Wang Dong, who was carefree, was not among them. However, because of his stepping forward, the other two did not intend to step forward. They just listened silently with doubts.

As soon as Bei Bei finished speaking, Wu Feng, who was not far away, was pulled by Ning Tian to look at Ning Wuque seriously, while the others listened silently to the other party's insightful opinion.

Ning Wuque shook his head slightly in response:
“There is a huge difference between anything with a spirit and anything without a spirit. This difference is like the difference between a spear forged from ordinary metal and a spear with an ordinary martial spirit. Just watch, Xiao Hongchen is several times stronger than he was before!”

The strength here is not an increase in soul power, but a leap forward due to a change in the nature of the power one possesses!
Ning Wuque didn't know what spirit metal was. He had only heard about it in his previous life, that it existed in Douluo Continent III, and that some truly powerful weapons and equipment required it for forging.

Moreover, his memories of his past life are now somewhat blurred, and he can no longer recall many things unless he touches on a specific point in that memory.

But he deeply understands a principle, and he himself is a practical beneficiary of this principle.

That is the difference between having a spirit and not having a spirit!
His martial soul is sentient. The basic operation for a beast martial soul master to reach the Super Douluo level is to comprehend their own martial soul, which in layman's terms is to imbue it with spirit and communicate with it.

Weapon spirits are also called sword heart, saber intent, and spear spirit, all of which aim to endow one's weapon or spirit with spirituality!
So why can't metal have a spirit? Why can't soul tools have a spirit?

Ning Wuque had not forgotten the so-called "natal soul tool" in Douluo Continent II. In his opinion, Xiao Hongchen might be stepping onto this continent now, but he did not make the soul tool his natal soul, like a martial soul.

Instead, it's about completely integrating oneself with the soul tool and imbuing it with spirit!

"Ordinary weapons and ordinary martial spirit weapons... I see. It seems we all underestimated Xiao Hongchen. His current combat strength may need to be reassessed."

Bebe suddenly realized that he had received detailed instruction from Moon, who had even taught him all his insights into the Holy Dragon of Light, allowing him to clearly feel the path he was on.

Ning Wuque understood everything immediately, leaving the others looking at each other, confused about what he had realized and what Ning Wuque was talking about.

Only Ning Tian, ​​standing beside Wu Feng, seemed to be deep in thought, yet still couldn't figure it out.

But soon, Xiao Hongchen's fourth battle immediately caught everyone's attention. Wu Feng frowned, got up somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, and buried his face in Ning Wuque's arms for comfort.

It's not that I feel wronged, but rather...
