Chapter 694

"In my eyes, it's complete garbage."

Chapter 670: First Contact, the Difference Between Arts and Spells

Antares swore, making Lin Moyu find it somewhat amusing. Where did this guy get so much resentment?

From its words, Lin Moyu could tell that it looked down on these rules of the human race.

However, many of these rules seemed to involve the humans of other worlds.

Once it had vented its frustration, Lin Moyu continued, "So, in that case, I actually have a chance to comprehend laws right now, it's just extremely difficult."

"High difficulty is only one aspect."

Antares refuted Lin Moyu's words, "Wielding laws requires soul support. If your soul strength is insufficient and you force yourself to wield them, at best you will be severely injured, and at worst, your soul will be annihilated. Level 96 is a threshold, just barely reaching the level where you can wield laws."

"Didn't you say the threshold established by the human race is complete garbage? Why are you saying now that Level 96 is barely passing?" Lin Moyu caught the loophole in Antares's words. What Antares said earlier contradicted what it was saying now.

Of course, Antares wouldn't admit it. "Level 96 is indeed the threshold for laws, but if you only use them occasionally, you don't absolutely have to be Level 96."

"We dragons have many methods to use laws at Level 90. As long as you don't use them constantly, the impact isn't that great."

Lin Moyu gave a soft snort. "You said it yourself, those are your dragon clan's methods. I'm a human, it's different."

Antares said, "A few of those methods can also be used by humans."

"That's impossible, tell me about them." Lin Moyu put on an incredulous look.

Antares chuckled and said, "One of the methods is the Soul Splitting Technique, which is to split the soul…"

At this point, Antares suddenly realized what was happening and let out an angry roar, "You brat, you're tricking me into talking again!"

"You caught me." Lin Moyu said thick-skinned, not caring in the slightest.

His acting just now hadn't gone to waste; Antares had fallen for it again.

Antares was extremely frustrated. It had clearly been very careful, so how did it still get tricked?

It grumbled, "You humans just have too many sneaky tricks."

Lin Moyu smiled. "Since you've already said it, you might as well continue. What is the Soul Splitting Technique?"

Antares glared at Lin Moyu. "Why on earth should I tell you?"

Lin Moyu wasn't in a hurry either. "Don't be so stingy. Lord Antares is all-knowing, so a mere Soul Splitting Technique is surely nothing to you."

"Bullshit, that's a spell, not some common skill you can find on the street…" Saying this, Antares shut its mouth again, realizing it had let something slip once more.

Lin Moyu caught the key point, his smile growing even brighter.

Antares indeed knew a lot, possessing much knowledge that did not belong to this world.

Lin Moyu felt that whenever he had free time in the future, he should come here to chat with Antares. He would always manage to extract something.

Antares suddenly had a bad premonition, as if it was being targeted. It looked suspiciously at the flowing, colorful sky, then at Lin Moyu, feeling that this guy was simply too detestable.

Under Lin Moyu's persistent pestering, Antares finally yielded, 'mercifully' telling Lin Moyu.

"Once you pull a skill out of the Skill Space and fuse it into your soul, it becomes a soul skill."

"But 'soul skill' is just what it's called in your world. Outside, they are called 'spells'."

"No matter how strong a regular skill is, it has its limits. Spells, however, can be improved infinitely, with no end."

"Because spells can contain laws, which is also why they are called spells."

"Aside from this, spells have endless miraculous uses. There is almost nothing they cannot do, only things you cannot think of."

"Including your [Primordial Rune], once you permanently master them, they actually become a spell as well. It's just that you are more accustomed to calling them soul skills."

…

From Antares's mouth, Lin Moyu finally learned some information about the outside world.

The most basic are skills, while soul skills are called spells.

Skills are weak, while spells are strong.

Because spells can carry the power of laws, possessing infinite possibilities.

God-level powerhouses generally only move two or three skill star cores out of their Skill Space and fuse them into their souls, turning skills into spells.

Lin Moyu knew this from experience. After moving a skill star core to the soul, not only did the skill become stronger, but it also gained some miraculous effects.

There is an insurmountable barrier between skills and spells, and the higher the level, the more obvious this barrier becomes.

No matter how strong a skill is, it cannot compare to a spell.

So, even though God-level powerhouses have simple attack methods, their power is incredibly immense.

A Level 90 God-level powerhouse can easily beat dozens or even a hundred Level 89 top Professionals.

The existence of spells is one of the reasons.

"Now that you understand the difference between skills and spells, you should know what kind of existence the Soul Calming Technique I just mentioned is."

Antares said in a deep voice.

The Soul Calming Technique was a special spell, clearly a very powerful existence.

Lin Moyu suddenly realized a problem. "Skills are the precursors to spells, but our skills are all awakened after reaching a certain level. In other words, skills are already inside our bodies and cannot be learned from the outside."

"Just like me, I can't learn the skills of other classes either. So, does that mean I can't learn the Soul Calming Technique you mentioned either?"

Antares suddenly burst into laughter. "You're usually such a smart guy, how did you suddenly become so stupid? What do you think the Primordial Rune is for?"

Lin Moyu was instantly speechless and slapped his forehead. "Right, how could I have forgotten about that?"

Wasn't the Primordial Rune an external object? Yet, it was now his.

Since the Primordial Rune could be obtained and mastered from the outside, with Antares's ability, it naturally had a way to teach him the Soul Calming Technique.

As for how to teach it, looking at Antares's calm and composed demeanor, it definitely had a way.

Antares said, "I can teach you the Soul Calming Technique, but how much you can ultimately master and whether it can eventually become your own spell depends on your own ability."

Lin Moyu was full of confidence. "Just teach me, and I'll handle the rest. If I can't master it, that's my own problem, and I won't blame you."

Antares widened its large eyes. "You actually thought about blaming me?"

"Well, it's not out of the question." Lin Moyu said somewhat solemnly.

"Get lost!" Antares roared angrily, and a wild wind swept over, blowing Lin Moyu back several steps.

A beam of light shot from Antares's dragon eyes and landed on the space between Lin Moyu's eyebrows. Instantly, a speck of light appeared in Lin Moyu's soul.

The speck of light began to expand, as if it wanted to turn into a skill star core.

—0 Flowers Please—

"Your soul… is really quite lively!" Antares's voice rang out at the same time.

Lin Moyu's Soul World was incredibly lively.

Several skill star cores were constantly spinning within his soul.

In addition, there were also two godhoods and two divine thrones.

The monarchs scepter and the scepter of creation were also within his soul.

Lin Moyu's soul body was wrapped in a nine-colored dragon soul, and his hands held the demon-exterminating tower and the Ancient Thunder Tower.

Other than describing it as lively, Antares didn't know what else to say.

Antares said with great disdain, "What's the use of such low-level godhoods? And those divine thrones, what complete garbage."

"The God of Life's scepter is barely passable, but it's still just ordinary stuff."

"This scepter is somewhat interesting. It seems even slightly better than the scepter of creation, but unfortunately, it's also damaged."

"This one seems to be your Shenxia Empire's demon-exterminating tower."

"Eh? Why is there still that fellow Kunlun's aura inside the demon-exterminating tower?"

…

While teaching Lin Moyu the Soul Splitting Technique, Antares thoroughly scanned Lin Moyu's Soul World.

…

Lin Moyu hadn't intended to hide anything in the first place. "Great God Kunlun gave me a kunlun snow grass king. I'm using the demon-exterminating tower to grow it, and the Ancient Thunder Tower to provide elements."

Antares gave an "hmph" of agreement. "Not a bad idea, but what's the use of growing this thing?"

Lin Moyu knew that with Antares's standards, it naturally wouldn't care for these things.

However, these things were indeed treasures for the human race.

Antares's tone suddenly turned serious. "I advise you, absolutely do not use this kind of thing. Do not ruin your own future."

"How so?" Lin Moyu raised an eyebrow and asked urgently.

Antares's tone was grave. "Using external objects to boost yourself will affect your foundation. If your goal is merely to become a Super God, then it doesn't matter. But if you want to explore higher-level worlds, you can only rely on yourself."

"Can't I use any external objects at all?" Lin Moyu asked in a low voice.

Antares shook its head. "Not necessarily. It depends on the function and tier of the external object. For example, your nine-colored dragon soul crystal is also one of them, but it only brings you benefits without any harm."

"Something like the kunlun snow grass king, which forcefully boosts your level, is like pulling up a sprout to help it grow. You cannot use it."

Lin Moyu's heart suddenly pounded rapidly for a few beats. Fortunately, he hadn't used it.

Back in the Kunlun Divine Palace, he had almost used it.

How fortunate!

The path of cultivation is full of pitfalls; one wrong step and you could fall in.

You can still climb out of a small pit, but a deep one might trap you forever.

At this moment, within his soul, the light orb that Antares had sent in fully took shape.

The light orb looked very similar to a skill star core, with a large number of runes flashing on it. However, it was somewhat more illusory than a real skill star core, not quite like a physical entity.

Antares said, "This is the Soul Calming Technique. You can use it to comprehend and employ the Soul Calming Technique. Once you have completely mastered it, it will turn into a skill star core and become your own."

"Also, try to recreate the scene of how you sensed the law back then, and see if you can still sense it."

"With the Soul Calming Technique to assist, the law can play some role."

Chapter 671: Suspected Bright Divine Palace, Entering the Abyss

Recreating the scene was indeed a good method.

Lin Moyu had no experience in this regard, so following what Antares said shouldn't go wrong.

Lin Moyu divided his mind, sending a portion of his soul power into the demon-exterminating tower and entering the space where the kunlun snow grass king was planted.

The soul was far more sensitive than the naked eye and could perceive many more details.

Under the soul's observation, every tiny detail of the kunlun snow grass king was revealed clearly.

Lin Moyu clearly saw how the kunlun snow grass king absorbed the lightning elements and miraculously transformed them internally, turning the lightning elements into vibrant life force, which finally integrated into its body to grow fresh leaves.

All the changes were like a magnificent feast, incredibly wonderful.

Lin Moyu watched with some fascination, gradually becoming engrossed in it.

At the same time, his other part of soul consciousness began to comprehend the Soul Splitting Technique.

According to Antares's explanation, the most basic function of the Soul Splitting Technique was to split off a wisp of the soul.

Before reaching Level 96, wielding laws would result in a backlash from the laws.

This split-off wisp of soul would bear the backlash in place of the main soul.

If this wisp of soul was destroyed, it would only cause minor damage to the main body. As long as he didn't split off too many of these souls, the impact on his main soul wouldn't be very significant.

However, mastering the Soul Splitting Technique was not easy; the most crucial point was to multitask.

After splitting the soul, it was equivalent to controlling two souls simultaneously.

This required an extremely high level of soul control.

This precisely why Antares required Lin Moyu to multitask.
