Douluo: Dream Overlord

Chapter 152 The Rare Nature of Mental Power

The herb is said to be something that should only exist in heaven, and is extremely rare and difficult to obtain in the human world.

Time's ability to seize the initiative by having a premonition about the original work and harvest all the immortal herbs from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is already an unparalleled stroke of luck.

How could I dare to ask for so much?

As he pondered the lineup that Time had kept within the team, he was responsible for protecting the right flank of the squad.

Dugu Yan, who is also a control-type character, is on the left wing.

This is the battle formation of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

It is one of the most convenient battle formations, allowing the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team to maintain a fighting position in any situation.

He and Dugu Yan were positioned in the middle of the team, which helped them avoid surprise attacks from agility-based Soul Masters from the rear and front.

At the same time, it can also guard against the forced breakthrough of offensive-type Soul Masters.

This can be considered one of the best defensive lineups.

As a Soul Saint, Teacher Zhao was naturally fearless, and he took the lead in responding to the attacks from other Soul Beasts.

Under his leadership, the team ventured deep into the central area of ​​the Star Luo Great Forest.

While using his spiritual power to scan the surroundings to find a suitable soul beast for Ye Lengleng, Shiguang was also on guard against the attack of a 10-year-old soul beast.

It is currently the peak season for spirit beasts, and many ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts roam the outer edges of the forest and surrounding areas, which is extremely dangerous.

Shi Guang didn't want to die before he even got started due to carelessness; that would be too embarrassing for him as a time traveler.

Shi Guang took a deep breath, his mental energy constantly scanning his surroundings to prevent any potential mishaps.

Those around him looked at his wary expression with curiosity in their eyes.

Although they all knew that Shi Guang was a very wary person, they did not expect him to be so suspicious by nature. Under their leadership, he was still so wary, as if they had lost face.

But what they didn't know was that Shi Guang was always very suspicious, because he wouldn't entrust his life to his teammates, or even his parents, because that would be tantamount to handing his life over to someone else.

Time wouldn't do something so half-hearted; it will only rely on its own power to carve out its own place in the Douluo Continent.

As for being questioned or ridiculed by others, Shi Guang doesn't care, because those are the mockery of the weak.

Have you ever seen a weak person respect a strong person?

Because they are all talk and no action, like frogs in a well, they are completely unaware of the vast differences in strength, which limits their vision and prevents them from seeing the true reality between themselves and the strong.

As a genius Soul Master, possessing innate full Soul Power and twin Martial Souls, and being an unparalleled Spirit-type Soul Master, Shi Guang's future is infinitely bright.

As a spirit-type soul master, his talent is far superior to that of other soul masters. His only drawback is that it will become increasingly difficult for him to gain weight later on.

But this is clearly not a reason for it to be weak, because it has its own meditation method and spiritual cultivation method passed down by its father, which is enough to make it roam freely across the continent.

Shi Guang took a deep breath. With his current strength, he was no match for ordinary people, let alone a mere ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

However, the strength of ordinary soul beasts is only average. Truly powerful soul beasts, even those that are only ten thousand years old, can unleash power comparable to soul beasts that are five, six, or even ten thousand years old.

Just like on Douyu, after the evil soul beast, which was said to be invincible among its peers, was killed by Tang San, its bead flew to another world and actually became the cheat code of the protagonist of that world.

These soul beasts possess an innate domain that can pull soul masters into a realm where they cannot use soul skills and can only fight against them using physical strength alone.

Therefore, even a ten-thousand-year-old beast possesses power comparable to a one-hundred-thousand-year-old beast, and they are cursed as a result, unable to ever step into the threshold of a one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast.

As a spirit-type soul master, he knew that the application of spirit-type soul mastery was something that ordinary soul masters could not match.

As an ordinary Soul Master who is also a Spirit-type Beast, there is no way to avoid or evade its threat. In the face of Spirit-type attacks, the resentful Northwest is completely defenseless.

The Divine Investiture system was already terrifying in Douluo Continent I. Although Huo Yuhao became even stronger in Douluo Continent II as he ascended to godhood, the current Spiritual Soul Master is a rare breed.

Time doesn't intend to wait for Huo Yuhao to make a name for himself in the mental system ten thousand years later. He wants to use his own hands to demonstrate the power of the mental system in the present Douluo Continent, making it a combat system that true soul masters yearn for.

After all, the mental type is noble. True mental power is different from and transcends soul power. It can penetrate soul power to attack. However, soul masters cannot defend against it. Even powerful soul beasts cannot effectively resist such attacks. They can only rely on their own cultivation and persistent mental power to fight against it head-on.

Shi Guang took a deep breath. He believed that his current strength was enough to rival that of a Soul Emperor, but without a concrete contest, he didn't know exactly how strong he had become.

Now that he has a mentor, an online betting platform, and the protection of several Title Douluos, perhaps he can have a chance to try and contend with a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast and see if his current strength is enough to defeat it.

Even the most ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast possesses a physical body comparable to that of a typical Soul Emperor or even a Soul Saint. As soul beasts, they have innate and unique advantages.

Even without doing anything, just by eating and drinking, one can achieve the powerful physique that every Soul Master dreams of, even comparable to the boost that a top-tier Martial Soul provides to a Soul Master.

Shi Guang was very envious of this. Although he was a control-type Soul Master, he had the heart of a power-attack type.

If given a Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, he would not choose a mental Martial Soul as his starting point. Admittedly, mental Martial Souls are suddenly powerful, but once other high-level Martial Souls reach a higher level, they are not very afraid of mental attacks.

After all, mental techniques are just a way of condensing and using mental energy. Before becoming a god, no matter how strong one is, one's mental energy cannot completely obliterate a high-level soul master, because this would violate the difference in mental energy between the two.

Once they reach the level of Soul Douluo or even Title Douluo, their mental strength is almost the same. Even the weakest Title Douluo will not have too bad mental strength; at least it will be several times stronger than that of a Soul Douluo.

Shi Guang knew that in the original work, when facing Huo Yuhao's attacks, opponents of the same level were no match for him at all, because they were completely unaware of the existence of spiritual power. Even the later titled Douluo only had a limited understanding and use of spiritual power, rather than a complete analysis of it.
