Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 79 Changes in Mindset

As soon as Li Fei sat down, he saw a book on the table in front of him, exactly the same as the one Bibi Dong was holding. It must have been prepared for him.

He picked up the book and started flipping through it. Just as the title suggests, this book is a theory written by Yu Xiaogang about how to break through the limits of a Soul Master. The book describes in detail how a Soul Master should break through their own shackles after reaching the limit of cultivation.

In an instant, Li Fei realized that his suggestion might have enabled Yu Xiaogang to break through his level 29 limit and successfully reach the Soul Master state.

However, as Li Fei continued reading, he became somewhat disdainful and lost the desire to continue. Although the book detailed how soul masters with low potential could break through their limits, it involved squeezing out all the potential of their martial souls and forcibly breaking through. As a result, while their cultivation level increased, the consumption of their martial soul's essence was weakened to a certain extent.

These are not Li Fei's guesses, but rather things that Yu Xiaogang clearly wrote in the book.

Of course, this method is indeed very useful for those Soul Masters who are unable to break through. Being able to break through a level, take their cultivation to the next level, and obtain a new Soul Ring to improve their combat power should be recognized by many people.

However, in Li Fei's view, the correct approach is to replenish while consuming, so that one can go further, break through to a higher level, and even become a Title Douluo.

"What do you think of the master's new theory?!" Bibi Dong asked with a smile as she closed her own book after seeing Li Fei put it down.

"The idea is novel: to break through one's soul power by squeezing out the resources of one's martial soul! This is incredibly effective for those who have given up hope of breaking through! Moreover, I think this theory will have some use at the Limit Douluo level; it might even allow someone to break through to the legendary level 100 and become a god!"

Li Fei pondered for a moment, then smiled and said. In Li Fei's view, this theory was only somewhat useful for breaking through level 100, but unless he couldn't break through at the very last moment, Li Fei wouldn't use this self-destructive method.

Moreover, even with the help of immortal herbs, it would be difficult to replenish the depleted potential after using this method. It is likely that Luo Sanpao's Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline has been almost completely exhausted. Even if a Grade 9 Purple Ganoderma were placed in front of him now, Luo Sanpao would probably not have a chance to evolve into a Golden Sacred Dragon.

There is also a fatal flaw in this theory: if the original potential of the martial soul is not enough, it may not be able to break through, since not everyone's martial soul has the bloodline of a dragon.

"It's rare that you would agree with his theory!" Bibi Dong replied with a smile, thinking of Li Fei from before.

"His Holiness the Pope didn't summon me here just to see this theory?!" Li Fei frowned and asked doubtfully, his mind still anxious to go back and see what the sphere inside the red jade was!

"Of course not!" Bibi Dong smiled coldly, then said icily, "I called you here mainly to ask why you didn't act according to the Spirit Hall's arrangements and refused Ge Long's invitation?! You must know that the army is the key to the Spirit Hall's control over the empire!"

"So that's what His Holiness the Pope was thinking about!" Li Fei suddenly realized, then explained earnestly, "Firstly, because I have too many secrets that don't fit the typical Soul Master mold, and staying in the military camp for too long would definitely expose them! Secondly, I can't wait that long. Ge Long is only in his fifties now, and with his cultivation level, living to a hundred is a piece of cake. He'd have to serve in the military camp for at least another thirty years. With him around, I simply can't control the entire army, so what's the point of spending so much time?! Lastly, and most importantly, I have things I want to do, and I don't want to spend my whole life in the Spirit Hall's plans!"

After speaking, Li Fei looked at Bibi Dong with a calm expression, the fear he had felt when they first met was gone from his eyes.

"Do you know?! No one can defy me!" Bibi Dong's embroidered eyebrows furrowed, her tone was extremely cold and domineering, her eyes turned blood red, and a terrifying killing intent erupted, stirring up countless scarlet storms. The storms were completely irregular and extremely violent. The entire side hall was instantly covered with frost and began to tremble violently.

Li Fei felt as if he were not facing a person, but a spider hunting, and he was the insect trapped in the web. However, he was no longer the little kid he was a few years ago who had no ability to resist. Now he had a slight ability to fight back.

Soul power circulated within his body, his martial soul was activated, and patterns formed by the five elements of soul power appeared on his body surface. His blood and qi surged, and a domineering aura rose up, resisting the terrifying killing intent emanating from Bibi Dong.

Seeing that Li Fei remained calm and composed, Bibi Dong's expression turned slightly unpleasant. The storm formed by her crimson killing intent became orderly and began to press towards Li Fei.

Li Fei's body was instantly covered with a thin layer of ice, and he involuntarily shivered. At the same time, his pupils turned crimson gold, and his mental power, comparable to that of a Contra, erupted to resist the erosion of the killing intent.

"It's truly astonishing that the little brat from before dared to defy me. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?!" Bibi Dong withdrew her murderous intent and looked at Li Fei with a surprised expression.

"I'm not afraid!" Li Fei released the power of his martial soul, shook his head, and still looked at Bibi Dong calmly, his eyes clear and without any turbidity.

"I'm really curious, what caused such a big change in you?!" Bibi Dong asked in confusion.

"Actually, it's nothing much! It's just that as I cultivate and my cultivation level improves, I'm becoming more and more aware of my true thoughts and what I need to do!" Li Fei said with a smile.

"Do you understand your true thoughts?!" Bibi Dong murmured, then asked herself, "What are my true thoughts?!"

At this moment, a sense of confusion welled up in Bibi Dong's heart. Had she truly acted in accordance with her own heart in the past few years?

"Your Holiness, the City of Slaughter is indeed a good place to improve one's strength, but can one truly remain unaffected after leaving such a place? You must remember, it's the ancestral home of the Evil God Asura!"

Seeing Bibi Dong deep in thought, Li Fei slowly rose, offered a word of advice, and walked outside. He believed Bibi Dong had been deeply influenced by the Rakshasa God, causing her to gradually become dark, domineering, and selfish, until finally conforming to the Rakshasa God's divine nature and becoming a true Rakshasa God.

In the Douluo Continent, the true difference between humans and gods lies in whether or not they possess divinity. This may also be the fundamental reason why the Rakshasa God guided Bibi Dong.
