797: Lei Ming: Am I that bad?

"How should we train this Little Fatty?"

At the Expeditionary Force Base, Lei Ming watched as Little Fatty was led away by Chen Ci, his face full of curiosity as he asked:

"What kind of Awakening did he actually get? It’s enough to make you personally send him an invitation for a special training program, personally escort him to the Expeditionary Force Base, and instruct us to train him well."

Yang Dian looked at Li Xiang, who was following closely beside Chen Ci as they left, asking questions every few steps like a curious baby, and sighed with emotion:

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that even if I told you, Uncle Lei, you wouldn't be able to remember it."

Lei Ming's pupils constricted.

"Is it that outrageous?"

"A conceptual ability that the Awakening Research Institute hypothesized about but has never confirmed?"

Yang Dian shook his head:

"It's still a bit different from those conceptual abilities that cannot be remembered or learned, where once you know them, you forget them immediately."

"Uncle Lei, you should focus on improving your strength first."

"When your Soul strength reaches 10,000 units, I'll tell you then."

Lei Ming was a bit puzzled:

"10,000 units of Soul strength?"

"I define a normal person's Soul strength as 1; a Soul strength 10,000 times that of a normal person is 10,000 units."

"Of course, to know what happened to Li Xiang, 10,000 units of Soul strength alone isn't enough; you must have absolute control over your own Soul and Mental Energy."

Lei Ming scratched his head:

"Absolute control?"

"The 100% kind?"

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

"Besides you, the person in the country with the strongest control over Mental Energy is a young man with a Mental Awakening."

"He can almost perfectly control all his Mental Energy; he can use Mental Energy to control ashes to pile up a miniature yet magnificent castle, and he can also let his mind affect his Physical Body, overloading it to unleash power beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

"But even for him, with the 'Mental Controller' Awakening, his level of control over his own Mental Energy is only 99.66%; he cannot perfectly control all his Mental Energy 100%."

"Ordinary Martial Artists' mastery over their own mental thoughts is at most 80% or 90%."

"Isn't the difficulty of wanting perfect control a bit perverted?"

Yang Dian nodded:

"It is a bit perverted."

"But that is the prerequisite for obtaining that secret."

Lei Ming nodded thoughtfully:

"Then can't I just raise my Soul strength to 20,000 units and forcibly obtain that secret with powerful Soul power?"

Yang Dian glanced sideways at Lei Ming:

"Uncle Lei, don't think about taking shortcuts."

"If only it were that simple."

Unable to take a shortcut, Lei Ming sighed:

"The difficulty is a bit perverted; perhaps in the short term, only Yue Shan has the conditions to achieve it."

Yang Dian shook his head:

"Perhaps not just in the short term."

"Within 10 years, if there are ten people on Earth who can raise their Soul strength to 10,000 units and raise their Soul control to 100%, I will be satisfied."

Saying this, Yang Dian tossed a star core to Lei Ming:

"Here, this is a Soul detector I refined casually. Probe it with your Mental Energy and complete the test according to the instructions; it can test your own Soul strength and Soul control level."

Lei Ming reached out and grasped the star core, his face gradually turning pale.

About three minutes later, he opened his eyes with a blank expression:

"Soul strength 3375? Control level 86.7%."

"The control level is a bit lower than what the research institute tested, but I can accept it."

"After all, the research institute's research on the Soul is mediocre."

"But is the Soul strength a bit weak?"

Lei Ming raised his right hand and pointed his index finger back at his own cheek:

"I, Lei Ming, Vice Commander of the Expeditionary Force, Thunder Controller, the sixth superhuman on Earth to step into the Star-Patrolling Realm! Although I haven't eaten many Heavenly Dao Ghosts, I haven't eaten few either, and my Spark is burning fiercely; there aren't many who burn more intensely than I do."

"My Soul strength is only 3375?"

"Am I that bad?"

Looking at Lei Ming's incredulous expression, Yang Dian shrugged his shoulders:

"Although it's hard to believe, this is the fact."

"The difficulty of improving the Soul is far higher than improving the Physical Body and Qi and blood."

"The Spark Visualization Method only increases Mental Energy strength, making one's mind vigorous, which in turn feeds back into the Soul."

"Even though I can shatter stars with one strike, my Soul strength isn't actually much stronger than an ordinary person's."

Lei Ming showed a curious expression:

"How strong is your Soul strength?"

"Seven digits, I suppose." Yang Dian said it lightly, but Lei Ming was speechless:

"So I'm just a fraction of a fraction of yours."

After complaining, he asked again:

"Besides eating Heavenly Dao Ghosts and heaven and earth treasures, are there any other ways to improve Soul strength?"

Yang Dian pondered for a moment and said:

"It's difficult."

"The secret methods for improving Soul strength obtained from other worlds all have side effects."

"I will take some time to combine the advantages of these secret methods, optimize the 'Spark Visualization Method', and try to minimize the side effects."

Facing Lei Ming's curious gaze, Yang Dian continued:

"It's roughly about igniting one's own Physical Body, Qi and blood, and spirit, using these three as firewood to fuel and nourish the Soul."

"As for how to do it specifically, I still need to think about it carefully."

Lei Ming nodded thoughtfully:

"The Soul, it seems very important?"

"Not very important, it is crucial." Yang Dian gave an example:

"If you compare your basic combat power to 1, then self-harming secret methods like the Heavenly Demon Disintegration can make your combat power soar to 10, or even 20."

"In this case, if your Mental Energy is powerful enough to interfere with your body, your combat power can double several times, reaching 100, or even 200."

"But this is basically the limit that the Physical Body and Mental Energy can be developed to."

"To further explosively increase your strength, you need to comprehend the rules or condense your own will."

Lei Ming nodded thoughtfully:

"That's the theory."

"After I comprehended a trace of the Thunder Concept, my strength instantly increased dozens of times."

As he spoke, he added:

"The tenfold increase after various buffs meant I could originally unleash at most 100 times my combat power; after comprehending a trace of the Thunder Concept, it instantly increased to a thousandfold increase."

Yang Dian continued from his previous words:

"But this kind of increase has a limit."

"The limit of rule amplification is ten times one's own Soul strength."

Lei Ming looked enlightened:

"My Soul strength is 3375. If I comprehend the Thunder Rule to the limit, can I unleash 33,750 times my combat power?"

"Without using the Thunder Rule, I can destroy an area with a diameter of 10 kilometers in one strike."

"If I comprehend the Thunder Rule to the extreme that my current Soul strength can bear, then after using the Thunder Rule, the destruction area can expand by 33,750 times."

Saying this, he summoned Ya Zi again:

"Ya Zi, help me calculate how many kilometers my destruction diameter can reach after the destruction area expands by 33,750 times."

As his voice fell, Ya Zi gave the answer:

"Your destruction diameter can reach 1837 kilometers, possessing the destructive power of the Star-Patrolling Realm Late Stage..."
