Kapitel 95: "Do you see that mountain over there?"
Zhongli remained composed as he spoke, leaving Paimon somewhat bewildered.
She instinctively glanced at Zhongli and thought to herself, 'No wonder he's over six thousand years old. The way he lies with a straight face is truly impressive.'
The most remarkable part was that he could lie without blushing or his heart skipping a beat!
As soon as he said that, everyone's expressions changed. They never expected Zhongli to be a body spirit!
According to Zhongli's explanation and their previous encounters with "body spirits," the difference was beyond significant!
The crowd looked at Zhongli in astonishment, their eyes filled with confusion and uncertainty.
How could he possibly be a body spirit?
Based on Zhongli's description and their understanding of "body spirits," it seemed impossible that Zhongli was one.
"I know you all are quite puzzled. Perhaps my explanation will clear up some of your doubts."
"Chi Yu's situation is a mutated body spirit, where the body and spirit merge, achieving what she is now."
"I belong to the same category."
Paimon was at a loss for words. Fortunately, she had seen Zhongli's cunning side before—this was someone who could even arrange his own funeral.
After hearing this, the crowd nodded thoughtfully. Zhongli's explanation actually seemed to make sense!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhongli instantly entered his "spirit fusion" state, with a pair of amber dragon horns emerging from his forehead, and his "spirit rings" quickly appeared.
A powerful pressure filled the entire area.
Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—nine spirit rings, all equally awe-inspiring.
A red spirit ring, the legendary hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
"I was fortunate enough to unlock the secrets of the human body, allowing my body spirit to awaken a second time, which led to who I am today."
"Unfortunately, I do not have a master..."
The crowd looked at Zhongli's spirit rings, seeming to understand something, yet still somewhat confused.
They were in a daze.
With such a configuration of spirit rings, Zhongli was practically a "legend," and yet he was still sighing!
People really do get frustrated when they compare themselves to others!
Wait a minute, this guy has another spirit!
The crowd glanced at Paimon, who was standing beside Zhongli, and thought to themselves.
According to Zhongli's theory, the stronger a Spirit Master's physique, the more energy they can withstand, and the stronger the spirit rings they can absorb.
Doesn't that mean it would be easy for him to add nine spirit rings over fifty thousand years to his second spirit?
*Gasp~*
The crowd took a sharp breath. They knew that twin spirits weren't necessarily terrifying; on the contrary, twin spirits were more like a curse—a curse of self-destruction!
But what was terrifying was that he had absorbed nine fifty-thousand-year spirit rings into his second spirit and still hadn't exploded!
Twin spirits were merely a talent, a talent that allowed one to pursue their dreams, but also a curse. After all, there should be no one who could add nine fifty-thousand-year spirit rings to their second spirit.
Zhongli didn't retract his spirit but continued, "I mentioned before that Spirit Masters acquire spirit rings based on their physical strength."
"Whether it's a beast spirit or a tool spirit, they are ultimately just spirits, and it's hard to break through the body's limits to absorb higher-level spirit rings."
"But body spirits are different; the body itself is the spirit!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd's eyes widened in sudden realization!
They understood!
"Lord, do you mean that because the martial spirit is the body, body spirit masters are naturally advantaged when it comes to absorbing spirit rings?"
The body being the spirit means that a body spirit master's physical strength is greater than that of regular beast and tool spirit masters, so they can naturally hold and absorb more spirit energy!
If that's really the case, body spirits might just be the most powerful spirits!
While a body spirit may not be as strong as others, the spirit rings can make up for that gap!
"Exactly."
Zhongli nodded. That was precisely what he meant, and indeed, this was one of the advantages of a body spirit—though it was only one of many.
"And as for the second spirit awakening…"
"Heaven may close a door for body martial spirits, but it naturally opens a window for them."
"When the body becomes strong enough and the soul power reaches a certain level, the body spirit has the potential for a second awakening."
"After completing the second awakening, the body spirit undergoes a profound transformation, especially in terms of combat power."
"As for the exact figures, I cannot disclose them."
Hearing this, no one in the crowd was dissatisfied. On the contrary, they fully agreed, understanding that this was a secret among secrets.
"Chi Yu was able to absorb spirit rings beyond her level because she is a mutated body spirit."
"Also, in my early years, I obtained an immortal herb called Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone..."
As Zhongli spoke, Paimon couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her eye.
Early years?
That "Daffodi" was clearly from Dugu Bo's medicine garden!
Upon hearing this, Tang San instinctively said, "Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone?"
"Lord, are you certain it's the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone?"
Tang San's tone was somewhat excited, his voice trembling slightly.
An immortal herb from legend!
Wait, something doesn't add up!
Could it be that this guy fed the immortal herb to Chi Yu?
It seems quite possible!
Otherwise, how else could she have become a Soul King-level expert in such a short time?
An immortal herb, a legendary immortal herb!
Zhongli "surprisedly" said, "Could it be that young Tang San also knows about immortal herbs?"
"You should know that it was precisely because of an immortal herb that I completed my second awakening and achieved what I have today."
"I had an extra one, and seeing that Chi Yu's condition was similar to mine, young and without any spirit rings..."
Tang San smiled bitterly. He didn't just know about immortal herbs!
He never expected that there really were legendary immortal herbs on the Douluo Continent!
"Lord, I do know a bit about immortal herbs. Miss Chi Yu's achievements after consuming an immortal herb—I am completely convinced!"
"Only an immortal herb could accomplish such a feat."
Tang San spoke with a trace of melancholy.
There was an immortal herb, but it wasn't his!
Chi Yu blinked and looked at Zhongli with some confusion. Didn't she consume two herbs back then?
Luckily, she wasn't foolish. When Zhongli spoke, she remained quiet.
Tang San had never consumed an immortal herb himself; he only knew that immortal herbs were incredibly powerful. As for how powerful, only those who consumed them would know the exact effects.
With the immortal herb as a buffer, Tang San was convinced by Zhongli's words.
With Tang San's cooperation, although the others didn't understand what an immortal herb was, they knew it was something extraordinary, capable of allowing a person to absorb spirit rings beyond their level.
"Lord, I have one more question!"
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and asked loudly, "Even if the body spirit and that so-called immortal herb allow a Spirit Master to absorb spirit rings beyond their level, how can a level 40 person withstand the spiritual impact of a ten-thousand-year soul beast?"
*Gasp…*
Everyone's expressions changed as they looked at Yu Xiaogang. He actually dared to ask such a question!
The man had already explained the secret of spirit ring absorption, and you still dared to ask about this!
Of course, they were curious too, but none of them were as "bold" as Yu Xiaogang.
"Do you see that mountain over there?"
