Soul masters rely solely on meditation to cultivate.
The soul power obtained through meditation is also stored in the qi sea (energy sea).
Currently, there are no soul masters who use their own soul power to strengthen their physical bodies.
This results in a significant issue: the physical bodies of soul masters are incredibly frail.
Even a Titled Douluo is not exempt from this.
What Ghost is lacking right now is powerful energy, and if he could find a suitable immortal herb to assist him, his martial soul could undergo a second awakening naturally.
But what if there's no immortal herb?
Then he would just have to endure some hardships to stimulate his potential!
"Is there anything else you two wish to discuss?"
The matter of the second awakening of the martial soul had concluded.
Zhong Li noticed that Yue Guan seemed hesitant to speak, so he finally asked.
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Martial God, the thing is..."
"You... Your knowledge on the classification of body-type martial souls and on soul masters absorbing soul rings is somewhat..."
"Somewhat better than what we have in the Spirit Hall."
At this point, Yue Guan's old face flushed red. After scratching his head, he continued, "We wish to include the information you have shared in the Spirit Hall's library and use it to teach our students..."
Actually, there was no need to specifically seek Zhong Li out for this matter, because all the forces on the continent, big or small, were already aware of it.
The inclusion had already been done.
The reason the Spirit Hall was doing this was primarily out of respect for Zhong Li.
Unlike some others who intended to publish a book under their own name...
Zhong Li was slightly surprised, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "I agree to this."
The Spirit Hall was the first to seek his "authorization" because of his knowledge.
Upon receiving Zhong Li's approval, Yue Guan breathed a sigh of relief.
They even held a meeting about this matter.
Some elders believed it was entirely unnecessary.
Because what Zhong Li said was publicly available, it was as if he was telling everyone directly.
Authorization or not, it seemed unnecessary.
However, other elders felt it was absolutely necessary!
First, because of Zhong Li's strength!
Second, because of Zhong Li's strength!
Obtaining authorization could prevent some unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Lord, there is one more thing..."
Yue Guan spoke with difficulty, fearing it might anger Zhong Li.
After all, this person possessed strength on par with the Grand Worship!
He might not be as strong as the Grand Worship now, but once he added a soul ring to his second martial soul, even the Grand Worship might not be his match.
Given all the matters he came here for, upsetting Zhong Li would be counterproductive.
But this was his mission, and he had no choice!
"Oh?"
Zhong Li picked up his teacup and took a sip.
The Spirit Hall seemed to have a lot of questions today.
Seeing Zhong Li's slightly displeased expression, Yue Guan and Ghost felt a chill down their spines. Yue Guan, in particular, felt cold sweat sliding down his forehead.
He hurriedly took out two items from his storage soul guide — a square box and a token.
"Lord Martial God, this soul bone is a personal gift from Her Holiness Pope, given to you as a token of gratitude for your contributions to the soul masters."
If Zhong Li had not agreed to the authorization, there would have been no need to bring out this soul bone.
Everything was interconnected!
"After discussions between Her Holiness Pope and the Grand Worship, we wish to invite Lord Martial God to serve as an Honorary Worship of the Spirit Hall!"
Yes, not an Honorary Elder, but a Worship!
Only those who have reached level 96 or above can become a Worship.
An Honorary Worship token and a head soul bone — even Yue Guan and Ghost were moved by such "gifts."
This head soul bone was the very one Hu Liena absorbed before going to the Slaughter City in the original timeline.
It was Bibi Dong's personal possession, given or not entirely at her discretion.
Zhong Li glanced at the items on the table, his expression unchanged, as if they were just ordinary objects.
A soul bone?
Honorary Worship?
As expected of Douluo Continent, regardless of whether you need the item or not, in the eyes of the giver, the gift is always precious enough.
It belongs to the kind that is impossible to refuse.
Among soul masters, who could refuse such an item?
"Sigh~"
"Another soul bone? I thought it was some food!"
Paimon was about to open the box to see what was inside, but upon hearing Yue Guan's words, she said with some disappointment.
Then, she decided not to open the box and continued eating the pastries.
"???"
Yue Guan and Ghost's eyes twitched, and their gazes towards Paimon were filled with confusion.
Another soul bone?
What's wrong with a soul bone?
Isn't a soul bone supposed to be a precious item?
This particular soul bone is a ten-thousand-year-old head soul bone, a rare treasure, something even Yue Guan and Ghost would be tempted by.
This little one...
Indeed, it is Paimon, with a childlike heart, unfazed even when facing a soul bone.
Whether it is an honorary elder or an honorary worshiper, both enjoy privileges without needing to follow the orders of the Spirit Hall.
Tang Hao, Chen Xin, and Yu Yuanzhen were all honorary elders of the Spirit Hall.
And then there was Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang's honorary elder status was somewhat special, as he didn't earn it with his own strength.
After a brief moment of thought, Zhong Li nodded and put away the items on the table.
"Then I must thank the Pope and the Grand Worship for their kindness."
By accepting these items, whether he used them or not, many troubles could be avoided.
Seeing Zhong Li accept the soul bone and the token, Yue Guan finally exhaled a sigh of relief.
This was the most crucial purpose of their visit!
Of course, that was from the perspective of the Spirit Hall.
For Ghost, the second awakening of his martial soul was the most important thing.
For Yue Guan, bringing food for Paimon was the most important thing.
Time passed, and after about half an hour, Ghost and Yue Guan finally left.
Their trip was fruitful; not only did they complete their mission, but Ghost also got what he wanted.
At the same time, across the entire Douluo Continent, a large number of body-type soul masters, under the call of Poison Douluo, began heading toward Heaven Dou City.
Their eyes were resolute, as if embarking on a pilgrimage.
The reason so many people were going was that they did not have a method for the second awakening of their body-type martial souls.
If they hadn't been so careful, there wouldn't be so many body-type soul masters.
Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy.
It had been over a month since the disciple recruitment ceremony.
Tang San, who was severely injured, with his martial soul shattered and his soul bones broken, woke up more than half a month ago.
To this day, his second martial soul and soul bones were still in a shattered state, not yet fully recovered.
"Zhong Li, Xiao Feilian!"
Every day, Tang San would mutter these two names at least fifty times, more often than he called out Xiao Wu's name.
These two people had already become Tang San's nightmare.
Since arriving on the Douluo Continent, although his start was not smooth, his journey had mostly been smooth sailing.
He had never suffered such a defeat!
Rather than saying he lost to Chi Yu, it would be more accurate to say he lost to a sword.
This sword was a gift from Zhong Li to Chi Yu, so Tang San resented Zhong Li as well.
"Ancient soul tools, ancient soul tools..."
"If I can forge the top three hidden weapons of the Tang Sect, I will definitely use them to test who is stronger!"
