13: Tang San VS Huo Yuhao

Shen Guyan was also sizing up Leng Yaozhu at this moment, which surprised the latter a bit. Usually, boys of this age would blush and look shy after seeing her.

Yet, there was no sign of anything unusual in the eyes of this young young master of the Shen Family; instead, there was a hint of inquisitive intent.

At this moment, information about Leng Yaozhu surfaced in Shen Guyan's mind: Level 99 attack system Limit Douluo (Demi-god), titled "Heavenly Phoenix," Spirit: Heavenly Phoenix. Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, Vice Chairperson of the Spirit Pagoda Council, Black-grade Mecha Pilot, one of the few contemporary four-word battle armor masters, holding a pivotal position in the Spirit Master's world, below one person and above tens of millions... Even the Old Master Shen of the Shen Family, who served as the military's Chief of General Staff, had not reached the level of a Limit Douluo. This woman, in terms of cultivation, could be said to stand above the entire Shen Family on her own.

"Hello, Sister Tian Feng. I'll leave the matter of the spirit soul to you."

Shen Guyan bowed calmly, his words and etiquette being impeccable.

"Young Master Shen Yu, follow me. I will take you to test your Mental Energy first."

"Go on, Xiao Yu. Choose the best and most suitable one."

Shen Guyan obediently followed.

"Coming to select a spirit soul for the first time, you will become an official Spirit Master after fusion, and it will be recorded in the Spirit Pagoda. The strength of a person's Mental Energy determines what level of spirit soul they can fuse with."

Shen Guyan looked like he was listening humbly, but he had already learned this knowledge from the spirit soul introductions.

For high-level Spirit Masters, the strength of Mental Energy is very important. The more powerful the spirit soul, the stronger the Mental Energy required to communicate with it.

"Long ago, in the era without spirit souls, there were actually no Mental Energy divisions. But with the appearance of spirit souls, our ancestors gradually realized that fusing with a spirit soul requires stronger Mental Energy than fusing with a spirit ring. Through their continuous research and summarization, Mental Energy classifications were established. It was only in the last two thousand years that they were completely finalized."

"Mental Energy is divided from low to high into six major realms: Spirit Origin Realm, Spirit Connection Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, Spirit Abyss Realm, Spirit Domain Realm, and the legendary Divine Origin Realm."

"Simply put, every one of us is born with Spirit Origin Realm mental cultivation; this is the most basic mental level. Most people should be at this level initially." Leng Yaozhu did not explain in great detail, as this information wasn't very necessary for a young master of a great family like Shen Guyan.

"Sister Tian Feng, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"Hmm? Ask away." Leng Yaozhu seemed very patient as she led Shen Guyan into a room full of instruments and sat down.

"Between Tang San, who dominated the continent twenty thousand years ago, and Huo Yuhao, who was world-famous ten thousand years ago, whose Mental Energy realm was higher?"

This question from Shen Guyan directly stumped Leng Yaozhu.

You see, there was actually no comparability between the two. Logically, Huo Yuhao, who possessed a mental-attribute Spirit, would certainly be stronger in mental cultivation than the Sea God Tang San, who did not have a mental-attribute Spirit. However, whether Huo Yuhao truly became a god and ascended remained a question mark, while Tang San had truly been active twenty thousand years ago as the Sea God. The gap between a god and a human is irreconcilable.

However, as the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao was the founding Honorary Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, it was not good for Leng Yaozhu to disparage the founder of the Spirit Pagoda in front of an outsider.

Shen Guyan asked this question naturally hoping that this continental powerhouse, who had cultivated to the limit, could provide a conclusion, which was: can a human defeat a god!

"This question is hard for me to answer, but one thing I am sure of is that before becoming a god, the Spirit Ice Douluo crushed the Thousand Hands Douluo in terms of mental cultivation." Leng Yaozhu's answer was very clever; it pointed out the advantage of mental-attribute Spirits in mental cultivation among experts of the same level while avoiding disparaging either side.

Everyone knows that Tang San achieved the position of God King, while there has been no news of Huo Yuhao since his ascension. Who knows what kind of Divinity he inherited and what kind of qualitative change he underwent?

"Young Master Shen Yu, these legendary figures are still too far away for you. Focusing on the present is the primary task of a powerhouse." Leng Yaozhu reminded him earnestly.

However, Shen Guyan acted as if he hadn't heard her, murmuring to himself, "Is it truly impossible for a human to defeat a god?"

Hearing this, Leng Yaozhu was stunned; she found that she couldn't quite understand what the Little fellow in front of her was thinking.

"By comparative reasoning, if Tang San before becoming a god could fight against the Angel God Qian Renxue and wound her, then why couldn't the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, who was clearly stronger before becoming a god, rival the Sea God Tang San?" Shen Guyan threw out another unanswerable question.

Leng Yaozhu's red lips parted slightly; she seemed to be on a completely different wavelength from the Little fellow in front of her... Besides, what was the point of him asking all this?

"Sister Tian Feng, I want... one day, to stand equal to the gods with a mortal body."

Shen Guyan suddenly smiled, high-spirited, just like that man from years ago.

This Little fellow... does he want to surpass him? That man who is currently the closest to a god in this world... Leng Yaozhu was dazed for a moment, as if she had returned to her youth, admiring that man from afar.

"Alright, let's trouble Sister Tian Feng to test my Mental Energy first." Shen Guyan changed his image and returned to his previous well-behaved manner.

"You Little fellow, I've remembered you." Leng Yaozhu seemed a bit younger at this moment, her tone becoming somewhat playful. She then lowered a metal helmet-like object from above the seat, which, connected to a metal arm, covered Shen Guyan's head.

"Don't be nervous, relax your whole body. You might feel a slight dizziness later; that's normal. You just need to relax." Leng Yaozhu instructed.

"Mhm." Shen Guyan responded.

A slight buzzing sound rang out, and a soft white light began to glow on the outside of the helmet. Leng Yaozhu looked at the soul tool screens next to it, where data began to jump.

The values jumped very slowly at first, but after a while, the data gradually accelerated its changes, and a look of shock appeared on Leng Yaozhu's face.

After a while, the data paused, no longer continuing to rise, and fluctuated slightly within a certain range.

"Very good." Leng Yaozhu's gaze toward Shen Guyan carried some admiration. "You are the Spirit Scholar with the best Mental Energy I've tested in the last ten years. Your Mental Energy value is as high as eighty-six, high-stage Spirit Origin Realm! I will issue a test report for you, which you can submit directly when you attend an intermediate Spirit Master academy in the future."

"Oh? So, what is the maximum age of a yellow spirit soul I can can fuse with?"
