If soul control meant that Yi Luo Xiang had acquired a pet, then this doubtful presence of soul enslavement was like having gained a puppet—yes, a puppet!
While a pet would indeed heed Yi Luo Xiang's commands, the specifics of its actions were not under Yi Luo Xiang's control: how it ran, which routes it took, and how fast it went were all decided by the pet itself.
However, an enslaved puppet was different; everything would change with Yi Luo Xiang's thoughts. Her thoughts would instantly translate into the Sword Dragon's actions, far surpassing what any pet could offer.
Just as she marveled at the majestic and mighty Sword Dragon before her, Xin Yun hurried back, calling out from a distance excitedly, "How about it! Did you succeed this time? Is this your spoils of war?"
Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang swallowed hard and turned to respond, "I'm not quite sure what's happening, but I feel it's quite different from soul control!"
