No matter what, it was now a critical period for the construction of Katchirda City. It could be said that there were all kinds of good and bad people mixed in. Although Gong Yi and the others did not say anything, with Wang Zhong here, they would have the real confidence to carry out certain things instead of relying on empty tactics. Furthermore, this time, Wang Zhong still needed to personally contact Ma Dong so that the cooperation between the two parties could enter a trusting mode.
"That brat Ma Dong is extremely formidable. As of now, the Federation's information on Ma Dong is a complete mess. Basically, they're saying that he's already dead in the wilderness. After all, the Assassin Family is a piece of old ginger, while the Zhao and Gui Families are too unsightly. As long as we're given enough time to grow, it's not like we won't have the chance to turn the tables around. However, if you don't appear in the Skylink, it'll be extremely hard for us to gain his trust."
Gong Yi said. He was very clear about how difficult it was to be wanted in the Federation. Both the black and white factions were offering a bounty for him, and money could move the heavens at any time.
Only on the third day did he manage to contact Ma Dong. Although he wanted to talk to Wang Zhong personally, Ma Dong was still extremely cautious. After all, there was still the possibility of this being a trap. However, in the end, he was unable to endure it any longer. Regardless of how much he endured and how much he persevered, he was too lonely. He needed brothers!
When he saw Wang Zhong on the other end of the Skylink, Ma Dong heaved a sigh of relief. His palms were already sweating. Although it seemed like a simple greeting, if it wasn't Wang Zhong, he would have been exposed. With the power of the Federation, coupled with the bounty offered by the underworld, he wouldn't be able to survive even if he had nine lives.
At this moment, Ma Dong actually smiled and said, "Brother, it's been a while since we last met. You seem to have gotten a little more handsome. Although you're still not as handsome as me, you can still be considered to have the temperament."
Wang Zhong immediately thought of Ma Dong's flashy white clothes. The more relaxed he was, the more difficult he appeared to be. There were even wrinkles at the corners of Ma Dong's eyes. Although Wang Zhong didn't see what he had encountered during this period of time, he could guess what it was.
"Didn't I say that a show-off like you would be fine? Give me some more time. I've found a way to deal with them," said Wang Zhong with a smile.
"It's a piece of cake. It's impossible for them to find me based on their standards. We have plenty of time!"
"Okay, wait for me to come back." Wang Zhong nodded his head forcefully. There were some things that couldn't be explained with a thousand words, but a bit of tacit understanding was enough for them to understand each other.
The two of them didn't say much, as this type of communication wasn't safe. As long as they could confirm the situation, Ma Dong and Gong Yi would be able to cooperate with each other.
Wang Zhong took a deep breath when he saw that Ma Dong was fine. He was relieved to see that Ma Dong was fine. He couldn't be anxious if he wanted to overthrow the Zhao Family and the Gui Family, as they only had one chance to do so. Once they failed, what awaited them would be a disaster. Although the 10 Great Families did not have any ruling power in the Holy Land, they were still powerful compared to them. Even in terms of strength, a top Heavenly Soul Stage expert could destroy them in a matter of minutes.
Both he and Ma Dong needed to grow.
The Golden Stone Slab resonated with the Fate Stone and opened up the third dimension, but Wang Zhong didn't know what the ability of this dimension was. According to usual practice, he might need some kind of opportunity to trigger it. Wang Zhong wasn't very anxious about this. Even if he was anxious, he couldn't. How could he understand something that even the Federation couldn't determine in a short time?
The Golden Stone Slab itself was a very strange material. In terms of touch, he had touched two of them, and they were very similar yet different. It was just a three-dimensional touch of an Earthling, and it wasn't real. What he could be sure of was that this wasn't something that could exist on Earth, and it couldn't be destroyed. It was just that he didn't know if the Holy Land's alchemy ability could pose a threat to it.
It might be possible. Away from the Holy Land, Wang Zhong could still calm his mind. The problem that Wang Zhong needed to solve in the near future was his combat style. His two ultimate moves were powerful, but to be honest, they were only used to fight against monsters. When fighting against humans, such moves were simply courting death.
Wang Zhong didn't want to become the type that relied on his Dharma Idol, or his weakness would be very obvious.
He was very clear about the combat style of the Casted Soul Stage, and his thinking was clear, and the effects were obvious. However, after entering the Heroic Soul Stage, he was indeed a little confused. There were many types in the Holy Land, but Wang Zhong felt that they weren't powerful enough. After seeing Kadin's attack, he gave him the answer. The experts of the Holy Disciples definitely didn't rely on their Dharma Idols. Instead, they strengthened the use of Soul Power. The power of that sword attack was definitely accumulated in the Soul Sea, and it was earth-shattering.
This idea was the same as what he had thought before, but Wang Zhong pursued stronger and more complex techniques. More complex techniques would definitely require more, such as the control of Soul Power, the toughness of the Soul Sea, the ability to withstand backlash, and the speed of formation.
These were all key points. If there was one aspect that he was lacking, he might as well pursue high-speed and powerful Soul Power attacks like Kadin.
Even with the support of Soul Power, there was a limit to the physical body's reaction speed, but the essence of Soul Power was the speed of light. As long as one was skilled enough, they could be as fast as they wanted. There were endless possibilities.
With the Soul Core as the center, the basic point of attack could save a lot of time. Any attack array needed a coordinate, and the Soul Core was the best coordinate.
Wang Zhong entered the Soul Sea and looked down at the coordinates with his consciousness. He controlled the power of the Soul Sea. Superposition attacks were to mobilize Soul Power multiple times without releasing it. However, once it was released, it would form a powerful sword attack. Of course, this wasn't one plus one equals two. This would consume a lot of Soul Power, but the texture and power of the attack would be completely different.
This was the simplest application. What if he built a runic array in the Soul Sea?
Wang Zhong's heartbeat accelerated. If he completed the attack in the Soul Sea and then directly released it, wouldn't the speed of actual combat be much faster?
Was it possible?
Others might not know, but he definitely could!
Wang Zhong stood under the tree and thought about it. He had forgotten where he wanted to go, but the practice of Cellular Cosmology provided the foundation for all of this.
"Wang Zhong, late at night …"
"Shh!"
Reynolds stopped Sister Hong, who was about to call Wang Zhong back to his room. "He's meditating. Don't disturb him."
Sister Hong was stunned for a moment, then stared at Wang Zhong. "How long has he been like this? Who meditates standing up?"
"Since he came out in the morning."
Since noon, when he discovered that Wang Zhong had fallen into this state, Reynolds had been guarding him closely. He had long stopped guessing Wang Zhong's realm. Who said that he couldn't meditate while standing up?
Wang Zhong, who was in the Soul Sea, had already tried it. Most people wouldn't dare to think about it. Even if they thought about it, they definitely wouldn't dare to do it. However, Wang Zhong dared to do it. On one hand, it was because of Aioros and Mu Zi's example. Obviously, Aioros and Mu Zi's fighting style was their own path, and they never cared about restrictions or the opinions of others. Wang Zhong also wanted to form his own fighting style.
On the other hand, Wang Zhong had confidence in his Soul Sea.
His Soul Sea was extremely durable and could be said to be indestructible. It was guaranteed to last for ten thousand years. Others had a Soul Pond, but his was the Soul Sea.
In the beginning, he used runic arrays, but he found that it didn't work in the Soul Sea. Runes were mostly in the form of arcs, but the Soul Sea controlled Soul Power to move in arcs, so the speed of movement was naturally slow. Simply put, it could be imagined as a weightless state, which was different from a situation with gravity. Continue, fail, and continue … The honest Wang Zhong obviously wouldn't give up so easily. Since he had found a feasible direction, he would go all the way.
"It's already the seventh day. He won't go berserk, will he?"
"Ptui ptui ptui, don't jinx it. Old Gong wouldn't be caused by that damned stone slab, right?"
Gong Yi, Sister Hong, and Reynolds stared at Wang Zhong nervously. They were very worried. The situation of this meditation was too strange. Wang Zhong was like a searchlight, his body constantly showing Soul Power reactions, but … how to put it, he was like a broken light bulb.
At this time, Wang Zhong's body was covered in dust, his cheeks were sunken, and his pale lips were full of cracks. There was no doubt that this state was extremely exhausting.
Just when Sister Hong and the others didn't know what to do, Wang Zhong opened his eyes. "Sister Hong, I'm hungry."
Things like cultivation and comprehension were like beautiful dreams that could be encountered but not sought. Once you were awakened, it would be very difficult to return to that beautiful dream. Furthermore, you were limited by the bottleneck of human beings. Not eating or drinking for seven days would not only exhaust your mental strength, but even your physical body wouldn't be able to withstand it.
After hurriedly replenishing his body's needs, he slept until the next morning. When he opened his eyes again, the look in his eyes was different from usual.
After spending these seven days, he had determined a path of cultivation. This was all thanks to his research and understanding of the Heroic Soul Stage. Accumulation was always a hard condition for a breakthrough. It was impossible to take this step out of thin air.
Simply put, the Soul Power of the Heroic Soul Stage and the Heavenly Soul Stage was fixed at 10,000 Grassos. This seemed to be the limit of the human body's Soul Power. If one wanted to break through this limit, they would have to successfully pass the Soul Calamity, which was the so-called Heavenly Calamity after entering the Peak Heavenly Soul Stage. Only then would it be possible for them to surpass the limits of the human body.
However, the difference was that the Heavenly Soul Stage could communicate with the power of heaven and earth. Not only did it mean that their Soul Power was endless, but as long as their body could withstand it, the entire world would be their Soul Sea. In theory, they could reach an explosive value that ordinary people couldn't imagine.
As for the Heroic Soul Stage, most Peak Heroic Soul Stage Heroic Souls were consolidating their Soul Sea. One reason was to have a stronger Soul Sea after entering the Heavenly Soul Stage, which would allow them to withstand more power from heaven and earth. Their ability to resist the backlash would also be stronger. On the other hand, it was to strengthen their control of Soul Power. This was also the main method for Peak Heroic Souls in actual combat.
For example, Kadin Musk, who Wang Zhong had met before, had a limit of just over 10,000 Grassos of Soul Power, but the power of his sword strike could reach about 12,000 Grassos. This was achieved by strengthening his control of Soul Power. Although he didn't seem to have improved by much and only increased by one-fifth, it was actually very difficult. At the very least, he had to stack his Soul Power three to four times at the moment of the attack. The speed of his Soul Power was directly equivalent to the speed of his thoughts. At the moment of the attack, he had to repeat the action four times, and he had to keep up with the speed of his first thought. For ordinary people, this was a completely paradoxical problem, but for Peak Heroic Souls, it was normal. Furthermore, the increase in combat power of 'a mere 2,000 Grassos' actually far exceeded the limit of 10,000 Grassos. It wasn't just a simple increase of 2,000 Grassos.
Simply put, if an ordinary attack of 10,000 Grassos was faced with such a sword strike, the aftershock of the sword strike could kill ten people!
Therefore, although they were both at the Peak Heroic Soul Stage, there was a world of difference in combat power. It wasn't just a matter of good equipment. Some top-notch monster-level Heroic Soul soldiers, such as the top Devourers in the Dimensional Hostel, even had the possibility of defeating Heavenly Souls! Furthermore, it was a head-on victory!
After all, some experts who had just advanced to the Heavenly Soul Stage were actually very weak. On the one hand, in order to break through, they must have consumed a large amount of accumulated Soul Power in the Heroic Soul Stage, and they didn't have enough external support. On the other hand, the power of the heaven and the earth that a newly advanced Heavenly Soul Stage could use was definitely limited. Perhaps they could only use 10,000 or 20,000 Grassos? However, Devourers at the Peak Heroic Soul Stage could rely on their control of Soul Power to directly stack their attack power to 20,000 Grassos or even more. This was definitely much stronger than Heavenly Souls who had just advanced and were not used to their own strength!
Of course, this was purely a theory that people were interested in when they were extremely bored. After all, they were using the weakest Heavenly Soul Stage to compare with the strongest Heroic Soul Stage. There were too many coincidences and imaginative factors, and there wasn't much practical meaning. Furthermore, if a Heavenly Soul wanted to escape, a Heroic Soul could basically only watch helplessly. There were only a few records in the history of the Holy City of those who had truly killed a Heavenly Soul expert at the Peak Heroic Soul Stage … After all, those who could advance to the Heavenly Soul Stage were definitely not idiots. Before familiarizing themselves with the power of the Heavenly Soul Stage, nine out of ten Heavenly Souls would obediently stay in the Holy City and not come out. Therefore, the situation of being caught when one had just advanced and was weak actually didn't exist …
Therefore, at the Peak Heroic Soul Stage, there was actually no need for any special moves. A casual punch or kick didn't depend on whether one was accurate or exquisite, but whether one was fast and powerful. The so-called various combat techniques were nothing more than the way one controlled one's Soul Power, such as how one could stack one's Soul Power more times in an instant, or how one could form a special effect in an instant when one's Soul Power was unleashed. As a result, if the same sword slash was learned by two different people, the results might be completely different.
Therefore, Wang Zhong had never been able to understand Aioros's combat style. On one hand, he could clearly feel the power of Aioros's runes and the majesty of his Soul Power. On the other hand, he felt that Aioros's close-combat techniques were too 'simple'. Although they were very effective and strong … they were just punches and kicks. He felt that Aioros's control of his techniques was not as exquisite as that of a Casted Soul. It was only now that Wang Zhong finally understood why Aiolos was so strong. Aiolos had returned to his original state, and the essence was hidden within his condensed inner self. It was no longer just a display of moves on the surface. Aiolos's strength had returned to its original state.
