"Seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul True Body!"
After the Martial Soul Possession, the seventh spirit ring settled over Yu Yan's body. A powerful Aura radiated from him. Amidst the alternating red and blue light, Yu Yan transformed into two figures—one red and one blue—and flew into the sky.
"Huh?"
Xiao Wu looked at the thirty-meter-long Ice Jiao and Fire Flood Dragon in the sky, feeling as if her brain couldn't keep up.
Whose Martial Soul True Body could turn one person into two dragons?
This was just too strange.
Having followed Yu Yan for years and seen many novel things, even Xiao Wu found this beyond her imagination.
Not to mention Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, and the Sword and Bone Douluo; their mouths were hanging open so wide from shock that they could fit two eggs inside.
Ning Fengzhi felt that when recording information about Yu Yan for future generations, he should start a separate book just for him; his situation was simply too unique.
Not only were the people on the island surprised, but Yu Yan, flying in the sky, was equally astonished. His situation was unprecedented, with no one like him in the past or future as far as he knew.
His consciousness hadn't split into two just because his body had. He still had one consciousness controlling two bodies, a sensation much like controlling his own two hands.
Flying in the air, Yu Yan tried to make the Ice Jiao turn right and the Fire Flood Dragon turn left. Both the Ice and Fire Twin Dragons had their own fields of vision, and Yu Yan could see what they saw. He wanted to look at himself through the eyes of the two dragons.
On his first attempt, the Ice and Fire Twin Dragons both turned left under his control, then both turned right.
Unable to control the Ice and Fire Twin Dragons to turn in opposite directions simultaneously, Yu Yan tried to control one of them individually.
When controlling just one, Yu Yan could achieve perfect control.
But when he tried to control both again, he returned to that clumsy state, like an infant just learning to walk.
The Ice Jiao True Body and Fire Flood Dragon True Body felt like his own hands, but actually operating them was worlds apart from controlling hands.
With his powerful mental force, Yu Yan could perfectly draw a circle with his left hand and a square with his right, yet he couldn't make the Ice Jiao True Body and Fire Flood Dragon True Body perform different actions.
It seemed that perfectly mastering the Martial Soul True Body of the Ice and Fire Twin Dragons would require some effort. For now, he would use them individually, which was sufficient anyway. Once he became proficient, he could use two Martial Soul True Bodies to beat down opponents by himself.
While Yu Yan was troubled by this issue, Ning Fengzhi, watching from the ground, showed no outward change, but his heart was filled with wild joy.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School possessed a secret technique called the Heart Separation Control method. Once mastered, it allowed one to truly multitask, perfectly solving Yu Yan's current problem.
It was truly a case of "just when the path seemed to end, a new vista opened up!"
Ning Fengzhi, who had been worrying about what to trade with Yu Yan, now had the perfect item—something Yu Yan desperately needed.
After a brief trial in the air, the Ice Jiao and Fire Flood Dragon collided under his control and transformed back into Yu Yan. After checking himself and confirming nothing was amiss, Yu Yan cupped his hands in thanks to Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, and the Sword and Bone Douluo: "My thanks to everyone for this."
"Our transaction was mutually beneficial to begin with. Seeing such a miraculous sight today, it is we who have gained the advantage."
Wanting to take advantage of Yu Yan's need for the Heart Separation Control method, Ning Fengzhi took up the conversation and chatted warmly with him for a moment before getting straight to the point: "I noticed, Yu Yan, that you cannot yet perfectly control your two Martial Soul True Bodies?"
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's question, Yu Yan frowned and began to ponder his meaning. Purposefully pointing out that he couldn't control the two Martial Soul True Bodies meant Ning Fengzhi wanted to pursue this topic. So, what was his goal?
While thinking in silence, Yu Yan suddenly remembered the secret technique of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—the Heart Separation Control method that Ning Fengzhi had demonstrated during the battle.
The Heart Separation Control method was divided into five Realms: Three Aperature Governing Heart, Four Aperature Constant Heart, Five Aperature Scattered Heart, Six Aperature Wishful Heart, and Seven Aperature Exquisite Heart. Each Realm represented the number of spirit abilities and simultaneous activations one could control.
So that's it, I understand!
Yu Yan, who indeed needed the Heart Separation Control method, replied with a smile, "Indeed. Suddenly going from one body to two makes perfect control quite difficult."
"I wonder if you have heard of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Heart Separation Control method?"
Ning Fengzhi spoke exactly as Yu Yan had anticipated. Thus, in a tacit understanding between the old fox and the little fox, they made the exchange.
Yu Yan gave Ning Fengzhi the method of combining Whale Glue with herbs to enhance spirit rings, the method of using high-level spirit rings to boost one's mental force, and a restricted version of the Hidden Edge Secret Technique.
In return, Ning Fengzhi gave Yu Yan the complete Heart Separation Control method along with his own Cultivation insights.
"I never expected that Whale Glue paired with a few common herbs would have such incredible effects. And this Hidden Edge Secret Technique for concealing spirit ring colors is truly miraculous."
Ning Fengzhi took the papers from Yu Yan and tucked them away solemnly, feeling more and more that Yu Yan was destined for greatness.
No, he seemed to have achieved greatness already.
"I also didn't expect the Heart Separation Control method to be so profound. I'd like Xiao Wu to learn it as well, if that's alright?"
After reading through the Heart Separation Control method, Yu Yan could see that besides allowing him to perfectly master his Ice Jiao True Body and Fire Flood Dragon True Body, it could also enhance his perception of the outside world and allow him to use his most common Profound Ice Chain in creative ways.
If Xiao Wu cultivated the Heart Separation Control method, she could also find new ways to use her Moon God Possession Spirit Ability, which she could already control at will.
"Of course."
Having obtained what he wanted, Ning Fengzhi didn't mind doing Yu Yan a small favor.
After the transaction, Yu Yan and Ning Fengzhi chatted a bit more. Yu Yan then took out the storage soul tools gifted by the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape and stored the corpse of the Nine-Segmented Fish Dragon Beast.
The corpse of a 130,000-year-old Nine-Segmented Fish Dragon Beast was of immense value and could be used in many ways.
Upon returning to Ice Soul City and bidding farewell to Ning Fengzhi and the Sword and Bone Douluo, Yu Yan gave the Spirit Power Liquefaction Method to Dugu Bo as a thank-you gift for his significant help.
"You really are a freak!"
Looking at the Spirit Power Liquefaction Method in his hand, Dugu Bo, who was usually called a freak himself, bestowed the title upon Yu Yan.
"If you don't want it, you can give it back. This is one of my trump cards; I don't give it to just anyone."
"That won't do. A gift given is like water poured out—there's no taking it back. Did I ever ask you for anything in return for my Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well medicinal garden?"
"Come on, you couldn't even utilize the functions of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. You only hid there to suppress your Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison."
"Heh, you brat, your ego has grown since you got your Martial Soul True Body. Don't think for a second that having a Martial Soul True Body means you can take on a Titled Douluo."
"Senior Dugu, it's not just my guts that have grown."
"I can't be bothered to talk to you. If I actually beat you up, people would say I'm bullying a child."
