"And the reason you can see the spiritual domain," Poison Immortal slightly organized his thoughts and continued, "This is related to the enhancement brought by soul power distribution."
"Take me, for example," he said, looking up at Minghui's parents. "I, like Hui, have innate full soul power."
"But my martial soul is my entire body, and the body includes many parts. This also means that the enhancement from this 10th-level soul power has to be spread out across all these parts. As a result, the enhancement effect on each part is naturally weakened."
"So, in the same area, I can only enhance my spiritual perception ability slightly at first."
"But Hui can see the spiritual domain."
"Of course, the effectiveness of Hui's martial soul is also due to the long-term nurturing of his innate soul power in his body. Additionally, it should be related to personal soul traits. This is a kind of talent, and a different person might not awaken the same ability."
"After all, everyone's soul is different, and the abilities that emerge naturally vary."
"I think that's probably why I haven't awakened a similar ability until now."
When it comes to spiritual power, he is much stronger than this child. His martial soul had even undergone a secondary awakening. The fact that he hadn't awakened a similar ability just proves individual differences.
"So, what does the senior think Hui's martial soul should develop into in the future?" Qingyi smoothly continued.
Poison Immortal did not reply immediately but turned to look at Minghui and smiled. "Child, would you be willing to take me as your master?"
Minghui "subconsciously" turned his head to look at his parents.
Both of them slightly nodded.
"Disciple greets the teacher!" Minghui immediately turned around and deeply bowed.
"Good, good, good!" Poison Immortal smiled happily. "Good disciple, quickly rise."
Qingyi and Mingchen exchanged glances, both smiling. The latter then spoke clearly, "Brother Poison, you've been standing for so long. Why don't you sit down and continue the conversation?"
Since Poison Immortal had already accepted his son as a disciple, it was natural to converse as equals.
"Alright." Poison Immortal nodded with a smile.
Qingyi immediately made a gesture inviting him to sit down, then took her son's hand and led him to the sofa.
After sitting down, Poison Immortal took a sip of the tea Minghui handed him and said directly, "My suggestion is to pursue a control and strong attack type."
"Spiritual-type soul skills can bypass most defenses. Whether it's control skills like spiritual interference or attack skills like spiritual attacks, they can greatly hinder the enemy's movements and create opportunities for subsequent attacks."
"And this happens to align with Hui's second martial soul, the Light Feather Divine Bow."
"Although Hui's Light Feather Divine Bow carries the extreme ice attribute, it is still a long-range attack type martial soul, and long-range attacks mean there's a time gap, which gives the enemy some reaction time. Hui's primary martial soul can make up for this drawback."
Mingchen and Qingyi nodded in agreement. Poison Immortal's idea happened to coincide with their thoughts.
"Additionally," Poison Immortal continued, "It's precisely because Hui has twin martial souls, and one of them is a bow martial soul."
"The bow martial soul requires high strength and endurance from the user. So, physical training will definitely be required."
"And the twin martial souls mean Hui can later add eighteen soul rings, greatly enhancing his body. Taking everything into account, his physical strength and power might surpass any beast martial soul soul master on this continent."
"This is without considering the secret techniques of my body school."
"So!" Poison Immortal's eyes sparkled. "Even without a beast martial soul, Hui's close combat ability can still dominate the world."
"Think about it, Hui's primary martial soul can already allow him to see the spiritual domain and sense subtle spiritual fluctuations. What will happen in the future? As these martial soul abilities are further enhanced with added soul rings and secondary awakenings, to what level will they rise? And with eighteen soul rings enhancing his spiritual power, how strong will his perception ability become?"
"With these, can any opponent escape Hui's perception?"
At this point, Poison Immortal suddenly slammed his hand on the table, giving the family a shock.
"What's this called? This is called the nightmare of close combat soul masters!" Poison Immortal's voice was loud.
It sounded like he was imagining his own future.
"Brother Poison is right," Mingchen quickly followed up, expressing agreement, also to ease the atmosphere. "Anticipating the enemy's moves can indeed give Hui an advantage in close combat."
"That's not just an ordinary advantage," Poison Immortal nodded. "Don't forget, Hui's primary martial soul can also release soul skills at close range, whether control-type or attack-type. If the timing is right, he can instantly put the enemy at a severe disadvantage."
"Additionally, Hui's Light Feather Divine Bow can provide him with some self-healing ability."
"With this balance, they can create a significant gap."
Makes sense. No matter what happens in the future, for now, Minghui feels reassured and confident, even a bit excited.
So, is this why Poison Immortal was eager to accept me as a disciple, and why the original author wanted Huo Yuhao to have the same fate? He has good insight!
Not bad, I'm a man like that!
This reminds me of a joke from my past life.
In games, archers are low-defense, fragile characters.
In reality, archers are Zhang Fei with a bow, Guan Yu on horseback with a bow, and Lü Bu with a spear.
The saying "archers are always OP" isn't just a joke. In ancient times, archers weren't just anyone.
They had strict requirements.
For example, a one-stone bow (about 60 kg pull force), where they could hit three out of ten times. Just pulling a bow like that is not something ordinary people can do, let alone continuously shooting arrows.
But others can do it, which requires not only amazing arm strength but also extreme endurance.
Therefore, ancient archers were elite soldiers who could shoot on horseback and fight with a knife on foot.
Sending them to charge would be wasteful because their ability to kill from a distance is far more efficient.
"And close combat is my strength," Poison Immortal's voice came again.
Minghui's expression stiffened. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Since Hui is primarily focusing on training his primary martial soul," Poison Immortal continued, "To fully unleash the martial soul's potential and achieve a successful secondary awakening in the future, a strong body is essential. So, my plan is to have Hui practice physical techniques with me."
"This will also help train Hui's physical endurance and lay a solid foundation for cultivating his second martial soul in the future."
Mingchen found it very reasonable, exchanged a look with his wife, and politely cupped his hands toward Poison Immortal.
"Then, we'll trouble Brother Poison."
"It's nothing," Poison Immortal waved his hand.
"Then, I will take Hui to get the first soul ring," Poison Immortal said decisively, standing up. "
