Chapter 26: The Secret of the Soul Core
"It just so happens that the forest in that area needs to be cut down. You can release this attack there."
Lin Wu felt the terrifying fluctuations of the Thunder Spear condensed by Lin Qinghan and was secretly shocked. He then pointed to a messy forest not far away.
Lin Qinghan nodded and tried to use his mental power to push the Thunder Spear. In an instant, without even swinging his arm, the Thunder Spear shot out.
'Sure enough, it can be pushed simply by mental power, and even the mental stance can be used to push the Thunder Spear.'
As soon as the Thunder Spear entered the range of the forest, Lin Qinghan quickly controlled it to explode mid-air. It would be bad if it destroyed the entire pit in his home.
With a loud bang, the messy forest was suddenly left with only charred stumps. A terrifying mental fluctuation spread from the center of the explosion.
Lin Wu, who was watching from the side, was secretly shocked by the huge power of the Thunder Spear. If there had been a Soul Saint standing there just now, they would probably have been killed instantly without any defense.
He remembered that before Lin Qinghan went out, his combat power was comparable to that of a high-level Soul King. He could only threaten a Soul Emperor when using his terrifying third soul skill. But now, it seemed Lin Qinghan's attack power had obviously reached the level of a Soul Saint, and he was a Soul Saint who had opened his martial soul.
"Very good, very domineering attack power, and also with mental attack. Even an ordinary Soul Douluo would probably be injured if they could withstand this attack."
Lin Wu praised Lin Qinghan's terrifying strength. Originally, he had thought that Lin Qinghan would need a few years to grow, but now it seemed he had already acquired high-end combat power.
"Qinghan, the person who reported it said you came to ask me for advice on a problem. Is it a cultivation issue?"
Lin Wu didn't intend to further explore Lin Qinghan's strength. As his elder, he respected Lin Qinghan's privacy. He believed Lin Qinghan would tell him what he needed to when the time came.
"Yes, Grandpa, you should be trying to condense the soul core now, right? I want to ask you about this issue."
Lin Qinghan put away his martial soul and stated his purpose.
"Soul core? Soul core is something that soul masters need to touch when they break through to Title Douluo. Isn't it too early for you to touch it now?"
Lin Wu was a little confused. Lin Qinghan was only in his forties, wasn't he? Why was he in such a hurry to deal with the soul core?
"I am making plans in advance. I'm learning while consolidating my soul power so that when I break through to Title Douluo, I won't waste that time."
Lin Qinghan naturally couldn't say that he planned to condense his first soul core in his fifties, or he would be accused of fooling around.
"Yes, it's not impossible for me to tell you about it now that you're planning to contact it."
"You should know that during the process of cultivation, the soul power in a soul master's body is not only the total amount but also the quality. And the amount of soul power a soul master's body can contain is limited. When the soul power is completely solid and the body is filled with it, it becomes difficult to break through the soul power level."
"And at this time, you have to try to condense the soul core. This is the process of compressing soul power once more, forming a soul power core with space attributes."
"In essence, it uses its own soul power as a guide to cause space collapse and form a soul power black hole that can infinitely devour the elemental power of heaven and earth."
"In that way, the soul power that can be contained in the soul master's body will increase greatly, and the soul core can continuously draw soul power from the surrounding space cracks."
Lin Wu's explanation lasted nearly two quarters of an hour, and the content was complicated and tedious. But after Lin Qinghan's detailed analysis, he realized that all these techniques ultimately aim to alleviate the lack of mental power.
Currently, there are almost no soul masters in Douluo Continent who specialize in cultivating mental power, and there's no way to deliberately improve mental power. It almost always improves alongside soul power.
This results in insufficient control when condensing the soul core, which requires a lot of skill.
After hearing Lin Wu's lecture, Lin Qinghan became more certain that if his mental power was strong enough, the difficulty of condensing the soul core would be greatly reduced.
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa. I understand."
Lin Qinghan thought about the method of condensing the soul core, and suddenly something occurred to him.
"So, Grandpa can't condense the soul core now because of insufficient mental control, right?"
"Yes, mental power is not so easy to improve, but it's a pity that I'm just a little bit short," Lin Wu replied, nodding heavily, and then said in a somewhat distressed tone.
"Then, Grandpa, try this. Don't resist this mental power."
Lin Qinghan released his mental stance and connected to Lin Wu with a mental link.
In an instant, Lin Wu felt everything around him being transmitted into his mind like a God's perspective, much like how he usually detected things with mental power. But the difference was that Lin Qinghan's mental stance was now incredibly precise, narrowing the range.
"Grandpa, if I assist you like this, what are the chances of success?"
Lin Qinghan looked at Lin Wu with some expectation. He now wanted to know how much help it would be to condense the soul core with his strong mental power.
Lin Wu, who was standing aside, said confidently after feeling the terrifying mental detection effect of Lin Qinghan:
"With you by my side to assist, I don't have to spend mental power to explore the soul core and the inside of my body. It will definitely succeed."
"There's no time to lose. You come first."
Lin Wu's face flushed at this point, and he grabbed Lin Qinghan's hand, leading him towards a room.
He had been blocked by the step of condensing the soul core for nearly ten years. But due to the lack of effective methods to improve his mental power, he had only been able to improve his proficiency in soul power operation step by step.
Now his control of soul power was sufficient, but his mental power was not enough to support him in fully and finely detecting the soul core inside his body.
This was very dangerous. The soul core was highly unstable during the condensation process, and even a small mistake could cause an accident.
Lin Qinghan was naturally willing to assist Lin Wu.
Not to mention that he was his grandfather, but watching the soul core condensation process would also be very helpful for his own soul core condensation in the future.
Lin Qinghan and Lin Wu passed through a series of rooms and mechanisms before finally reaching a secret room.
At this point, Lin Wu's excited heart had calmed down a lot. He pointed to a small room next to him.
"The pressure during the process of my soul core condensation will be released without reservation. You stay in that isolated room first."
Lin Qinghan nodded and walked into the isolated room. At the same time, he controlled his mental stance to shrink violently until only a few meters in radius remained.
Lin Qinghan also turned on mental overclocking. In that instant, everything within this small range was displayed in his mental stance.
This was the first time he had shrunk his mental stance to such a small size.
Under this extremely fine detection, even the state of the elemental force particles in the air could be observed.
While Lin Qinghan was still sensing the surroundings, Lin Wu's soul core condensation began.
