Chapter 69: Soul Master Records

The three card masters and many teachers also smiled and looked at Qin Ming with eyes full of approval.

"Qin Ming said it well!"

"As expected of Teacher Qin Ming."

Many students also applauded and praised, but Qin Ming did not show any pride, and still stared at Xiaodong's cute expression seriously: "It's not just for self-interest. When a soul master's soul power level reaches the breakthrough stage, if he does not obtain a soul ring, his soul power will not be able to continue to grow."

"This is a rule that has existed since the emergence of soul masters. There is no way to change it, and it cannot be distinguished by right or wrong."

"And the soul power that Xiaodong is talking about is the soul of the soul beast after death. This is not absolute! We soul masters also absorb and refine this kind of soul power from the surroundings during cultivation. I am more inclined to believe that soul power is a kind of energy in nature."

Qin Ming smiled slightly when he said this: "Soul beasts, like soul masters, have soul power, so obtaining soul rings is more likely to absorb the soul power of soul beasts, not as evil as Xiaodong believes, which is to refine the souls of living beings."

"As for the soul bones, I think they are the condensation of the soul essence of the soul beast, because not every soul beast will have soul bones after death. The number of soul bones counted so far in the entire continent is also extremely rare. From this, we can judge that they are not the remains of a dead soul beast."

'Pa pa pa~' The students couldn't help but applaud Qin Ming again. Everywhere they looked, they saw admiring faces.

"Teacher Qin Ming is such a blessing to our school!" Meng Shenji slowly stroked his white beard. Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin smiled at each other again. Prince Xuexing couldn't help but raise his chin, looking very proud.

Saras snorted coldly but said nothing. His eyes were fixed on Xiaodong's back in the distance, his mind full of doubts!

Why does Her Royal Highness the Princess want to create a saintly persona for herself?

That's right, knowing Xiaodong's 'true face', Sarath certainly wouldn't believe those naive and silly words just now, he just thought that he must be planning something again!

Qin Ming didn't look proud when he heard the praises from everyone. His brows were slightly furrowed. He had been observing Xiaodong's expression carefully. His words were well-founded. If it were an ordinary person, he would have suddenly realized it and looked like he had returned to the right path. But Xiaodong...

He still had that cute look on his face, and it was hard to tell whether Xiaodong had listened or not!

Qin Ming's eyes fixed, and he bowed to Xiaodong again and said, "I wonder what Xiaodong thinks of my explanation?"

Before Xiaodong could speak, Yu Tianheng spoke up first: "Teacher Qin Ming's words should come from the record of soul power in the Soul Master Records, right?"

Qin Ming nodded: "The book explains the essence of 'soul power' and 'soul rings', and I also added some of my own understanding."

Dugu Yan raised her chin slightly, looked at Xiaodong and said proudly: "The Soul Master Record is one of the ten most recognized classics in the soul master world. It gathers the wisdom of countless soul masters."

This is exactly what she said during a conversation with Sangiegie two years ago. Using the authority of her predecessors to refute Xiaodong made her ideas and words seem very naive, and she couldn't make an effective rebuttal. Any words she said at this time would seem ridiculous.

Qin Ming frowned, feeling that Dugu Yan's momentum was a bit aggressive, and immediately said: "Xiaodong may not have read this book, so it's normal that he doesn't understand these principles."

Then he looked at Xiaodong again and was about to say something when Xiaodong's face turned red and he finally spoke: "Teacher Qin Ming, are the records in the Soul Master Records really all correct?"

Qin Ming was stunned, and Dugu Yan was also stunned. She thought Xiaodong would continue to quibble, but she didn't expect that he would directly question the authority!

Especially since Teacher Qin Ming just gave a well-reasoned explanation!

Some students who came to their senses were also amazed:

"Questioning the authority of the Soul Master Record? Who gave her the confidence?"

"The facts have been made clear, are you still trying to quibble?"

"That's a bit impulsive! Being willful is a minus for a pretty girl!"

"Although Xiaodong is extremely cute, don't forget that she is from the Spirit Hall after all. It is their normal behavior to look down on others."

"Spirit Hall... Oh~ what a pity."

Whispers were heard in the crowd. Although most of the guys who were just waiting to die had never read the "Soul Master Record", it did not stop them from following suit and using their "authority" to mock and refute Xiaodong, and at the same time criticize the Spirit Hall.

Xiaodong still stared at Qin Ming: "I have read the "Soul Master Records", and Teacher Qin Ming's explanation just now sounds reasonable, but there is one thing I don't understand."

"Oh?" Qin Ming smiled gently and motioned Xiaodong to ask any questions he wanted.

"There is a record in the Soul Master Records that when a soul master absorbs a soul ring, he will 'fight' with the illusion of the soul beast in his spiritual sea of consciousness!"

"Especially when the age of the soul beast is much higher than the soul master's own soul power level, this kind of 'battle' will become very dangerous. Only by winning can you successfully obtain the soul ring."

"But if the spirit ring is just a kind of energy, and the spirit beast is dead, then what is it that is 'fighting' with the spirit master?"

This……

The whispers in Xiaodong's ears paused slightly, and Qin Ming in front of him also frowned, unable to organize his words in the first time.

Xiaodong blinked and continued:

"Also! When a soul beast is killed by a soul master, it will be given a soul ring, but when a soul master kills a soul master, nothing will happen. This setting sounds very unfair. If soul power is just a pure energy, why can't it be absorbed from a dead soul master?"

The whispers in his ears completely disappeared, and Qin Ming in front of him frowned even more!

Xiaodong quickly glanced around at the soul masters who were lost in thought, and a faint smile with a malicious taste flashed across his lips:

"Teacher Qin Ming, I have a guess about these two questions!"

Qin Ming looked up at Xiaodong and bowed: "Please speak."

"Teacher Qin Ming is right about one thing. Soul power is indeed a kind of energy, but it is also the soul of a soul beast after its death!"

"What is the basis?"

"When I was in the Junior Soul Master Academy, a knowledgeable elder like Teacher Qin Ming taught me that after a soul master kills a soul beast, if he does not absorb the soul ring within two hours, the soul power will disappear into the air."

Qin Ming nodded. This was common knowledge in the soul master world. Every newly-qualified soul master would be told by his mentor when hunting a soul ring for the first time.

"But if the essence of soul power is unconscious energy, then what is the reason that allows the soul beast to preserve this energy for two hours? And what is the reason that it disappears after more than two hours?"

Qin Ming's eyes narrowed. He had never thought about this question!

In other words, almost no soul master would think about this, because this is common sense passed down from generation to generation, and no one is idle enough to think about common sense. It is better to practice more and improve strength with that time.

Qin Ming was very smart. He thought of what Xiaodong had just said and suddenly felt a blockage in his heart: "What Xiaodong meant..."
