Douluo Dalu - The Story of Sheng Feilong Chapter 231

"So it's something like this . . . " Sheng Feilong muttered after listening to Song Weihan's explanation . "Putting aside the matter of wanting to kill an opponent or not, just being able to know where to attack them would give me a huge advantage in combat . Moreover, it's an extension to the abilities I already have, like the energy vision; I can use the latter without a problem, but the black lines only appear if I really use the third eye, meaning all other abilities are activated at the same time . "

Song Weihan nodded his head to Sheng Feilong's conclusion; There wasn't much he could say when it came to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's third eye as there wasn't much known about it . In the first place, Sheng Feilong was probably the person with the most knowledge about it in the world .

Breathing out with a long sigh, Sheng Feilong deactivated the third eye; It was a power born from his bloodline and he instinctively understood how to use it . It felt so natural that, he didn't even notice it at first, but as soon as he did, he knew how to utilize it well .

However, as the third eye vanished, Song Weihan frowned lightly . He probed Sheng Feilong with his spiritual senses again, but didn't say anything . Sheng Feilong didn't resist him as he knew Song Weihan didn't mean any harm, but was still perplexed about the sudden action . "Master, is everything alright?"

" . . . Your Spirit Power seemed to drop significantly as soon as you deactivated your third eye . . . You're clearly in the Spirit Domain Realm, yet I can barely even feel your strength despite standing right next to you, even while probing you with my own spiritual senses . " Song Weihan said after a moment . His retracted his senses and looked at Sheng Feilong, awaiting an answer .

However, the person in question only tilted his head with a confused expression . "I don't feel different, though? And I can still feel everything that's going on, just like before . Only the energy vision and the black lines vanished . "

Both of them remained silent for another moment before Sheng Feilong spoke up again . "Maybe the pressure automatically restrains itself?" Song Weihan nodded his head once more with a thoughtful expression on his face . "The Three-Eyed Golden Lions are known for the incredible Spirit Power, yet they don't disturb the Soul Beasts around them and their power only becomes apparent in combat . It would make sense for their spiritual pressure to be sealed in their third eye . "

Sheng Feilong couldn't explain himself well in this regard; Everything felt natural for him and he himself could still clearly feel his own Spirit Power; It was only Song Weihan for whom the power suddenly vanished without a trace . "That reminds me-!"

Sheng Feilong suddenly called out loud, causing Song Weihan to stare at him . He calmed down again, smiling apologetically . "Sorry . I was just think that, since I broke through to the Spirit Domain Realm and opened the third eye, would my Spirit Essence have changed?"

"Oh, I see . . . A good thought . Well, there's only one way to find out . " Song Weihan smiled, now understanding why Sheng Feilong reacted like that . He took two steps back, leaving Sheng Feilong some space while motioning with his hand for the latter to do as he pleases .

Sheng Feilong nodded, his Soul Power surging; His eyes changed into a darker shade of gold, while the familiar red runic symbol appeared on his forehead . His Spirit Power also abruptly rose in the same breath, though Song Weihan didn't seem to be able to feel that . He had a thoughtful expression on his face again while looking at Sheng Feilong . "Nothing seems to have changed . The symbol on your forehead is also still the same as before . Can you use the third eye and your Spirit Essence together?"

Inspecting Song Weihan for a moment, Sheng Feilong hesitated . The former hadn't reacted in the slightest despite Sheng Feilong's Spirit Power surging massively all of a sudden, giving Sheng Feilong an idea of what was happening . "Master, you didn't feel my Spirit power rising just now?"

"Your Spirit Power?" Song Weihan frowned, once again checking Sheng Feilong with his spiritual senses . " . . . I don't sense it . Your Spirit Power seems to be on the same level as before . " This time, Sheng Feilong was somewhat taken aback . He could understand the third eye sealing his Spirit power when he didn't do anything, but it even blocked the Spirit Power from his Spirit Essence?

"I have another idea . " He took another few steps back, his Soul Power surging once more . Seven Soul Rings appeared circling behind him, with the third one lighting up; The third ability he got from the Ancient Hypnotic Toad activating – Mental Amplification .

Song Weihan knew this Soul Skill well; How its effects worked and that Sheng Feilong's Spirit Power would be amplified by a huge margin, yet he could only frown more deeply – He still couldn't feel the slightest change in Sheng Feilong's Spirit Power!

Telling Sheng Feilong this, both of them frowned . Sheng Feilong deactivated his Soul Skill, leaving only the Radiant Emperor's Phantasmagoric Eyes activated . "It's a peculiar power . . . As I've asked before; can you activate the third eye together with your Spirit Essence?"

Sheng Feilong nodded at the question, opening the third eye without any complications . The red runic symbol on his forehead got wider, making space for the real third eye to appear there, outlined by the runic symbols . As soon as he released it, Song Weihan frowned and had to use his own Spirit Power to resist the pressure actively; Sheng Feilong's Spirit Power had risen to a level where even he couldn't just ignore it anymore .

"Now I get what you meant; Your Spirit power is much higher than when you didn't have your Spirit Essence active . Moreover, the third eye seems to amplify it even further, right? This is really interesting . " His expression showed his curiosity, while Sheng Feilong nodded before frowning a bit . "But it really tires me out . . . Using my Spirit Essence and the third eye at the same time is tough; I can feel my reserves plummet even while only keeping them active and doing nothing else . "

Song Weihan thought about it for a moment, then replied . "I've never seen a similar case, but I'd assume that to be normal; You're using three different kinds of powers at the same time; You bloodline power, that's fuelling the third eye, your Soul Power to keep your Spirit Essence active, while both of them mix together to increase your Spirit Power, which you also have to keep under control . "

"Honestly . . . I'm getting excited; In this state, your Spirit Power can already match mine, while you still have a lot of room to grow . Your body is stronger than mine, enabling you to push your Spirit power even further without a problem . Add your Mental Amplification to that you should be superior to . " Song Weihan with a smile, then put on a nostalgic look . "Do you remember what I told you when I gave you the Ancient Hypnotic Toad all those years ago?"

Sheng Feilong nodded his head, not quite understanding where Song Weihan was going . "You told me that it's a powerful Soul Beast from ancient times that has been extinct for 300 . 000 years now . It's much more powerful than most of the Ten Ferocious Beasts that we know today . "

With a light laugh, Song Weihan shook his head . "That's also true, but it's not what I meant; Back then, I intended to fuse with it myself once I nurtured it into a 100 . 000-years-old Spirit Soul and draw my ninth Soul Ring from it . It's powerful, yes, but that's not why I wanted to absorb it . "

"Back then, my research came to the conclusion that the Ancient Hypnotic Toad had limited Spirit Power; It's abilities were ridiculously strong, especially its illusions, yet the beast itself was too weak to make the most of its abilities . They were inherently too weak, physically, to strengthen their Spirit Power to the heights I had reached back then; The same heights that you have already surpassed . "

"Do you understand now? Why I was so thrilled about this Spirit Soul? Just imagining how powerful it could be gave me the chills . With its limited Spirit Power, the toad's illusory abilities were already strong enough to trick the predators of that time; How powerful would it become if used by us humans, who can have twice its Spirit Power, possibly much more?" Song Weihan finished speaking with a smile .

Sheng Feilong looked at him with an astonished expression, then showed regret in his eyes . "I'm sorry, Master . . . You were so eager about it, yet you gifted me the Spirit Soul, just like that . . . " Song Weihan suddenly started laughing again . "There's no need to apologize . I said it back then, and I'll say it again; It's much more suitable for you to have it . Back then, I was a peak Soul Douluo, yet you already surpassed the me from then in Spirit Power . I can't wait for the day you turn the toad into a 100 . 000-years-old Spirit Soul . "
