Douluo Dalu - The Story Of Sheng Feilong 211 Spirit Essence True Avatar

In a split second, Sheng Feilong's expression turned from a smile to a dreadful one. "No, no, there's no need for that, Master, I believe you, I believe you...ha, ha..." His antics caused Song Weihan to laugh heartedly, looking back at Sheng Feilong with a taunting look. "Don't worry, I won't beat you up again; I'm really only talking about showing it to you."

From the beginning, Sheng Feilong already understood that Song Weihan meant him no harm, yet he still refused vehemently. Hearing his Master speak about it, he once again voiced that there was no need to go that far, not daring to say out loud what he was truly thinking. 'How am I supposed to keep a straight face when you turn into a literal pink bird, Master...'

After a while, Song Weihan stopped to insist on showing off his True Avatar, though still not understanding why Sheng Feilong was so against it, but ignored it, continuing his explanation with the third kind of Spirit Essences, handing Sheng Feilong another doc.u.ment.

"The third type of Spirit Essence are the plant system Spirit Essences; They are usually not that different from Tool type Spirit Essences. A powerful, physical manifestation of the Spirit Essence in extreme proportions. For example, imagine a th.o.r.n.y vine Spirit Essence; It's True Avatar would most likely be a ma.s.sive forest of thorns, spanning multiple tens, if not hundreds, of metres. That's also what differentiates them from other's; Plant system True Avatars are usually their own Domain." Song Weihan handed Sheng Feilong a third doc.u.ment, one depicting a few different plant system Domains, to showcase their particularities.

Sheng Feilong studied them earnestly, surprised that there's so many different Domains. In the midst of his studying, Song Weihan continued to speak. "If we're talking about Domains, the most prominent one would be the Bluesilver Domain of the legendary Bluesilver Emperor, the Spirit Essence of the Tang Sect's founder, Tang San; It's the strongest of all plant based Domains, supposedly enabling its user to control all plants in the surroundings."

The legends about the Tang Sect's founder, Tang San, were widely known as he was the first human to ascend to become a G.o.d in history. Moreover, the Tang Sect he founded was one of the strongest inst.i.tutions in this world to this day, while the academy he attended, Shrek Academy, became the unrefuted number one on the continent.

Still, there was something that Sheng Feilong would much rather know, the question popping up in his head as he looked through the doc.u.ments. "Then, Master, what about my Spirit Essence? I don't think it can be cla.s.sified as any of the three types; It's a body type Spirit Essence, right?"

A smile crept on Song Weihan's face, but it quickly faded after he nodded his head. "You're right, it's a body type Spirit Essence. That's what makes your case a bit more special. There's only a few people with body spirits to appear throughout history, to begin with; One of them being the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, but there's not much known about his True Avatar. Most others were members of the Body Sect, thus making it even harder to get reliable information about their True Avatars..."

"So we have no reference material... Is there a common way to create a True Avatar, even if we don't have much information?" Sheng Feilong frowned, trying to make out anything from the doc.u.ments Song Weihan gave him, while the latter smiled lightly and leaned back into his chair, leaving Sheng Feilong to his own advances.

A few minutes pa.s.sed in silence with Sheng Feilong going through the doc.u.ments in detail, trying to find any consistencies. He put the last doc.u.ment down, tapping his finger on the table. Moments later, his head shot up, looking at Song Weihan. "The True Avatar is basically a stronger form of using my Spirit essence, right? And I need a Soul Core to use it. A part of my Spirit Essence is connected to my Soul Core. If I draw that power out, would that be the same as creating a True Avatar?"

Finally, Song Weihan broke into a smirk. He chuckled lightly and nodded his head at Sheng Feilong. "You're correct; The True Avatar creates a sort-of perfect form of your Spirit essence, modelled after the imprint in your Soul Core. It's not 'the same as creating a True Avatar' – It is the exact and most optimal way."

Sheng Feilong frowned, glancing at the doc.u.ments before grumbling. "...Then why isn't it written anywhere here... They're all so roundabout that its hard to even come to the conclusion..." Again, Song Weihan chuckled, shrugging when Sheng Feilong shot him a nasty look. "It's intentional. I wanted your to come to the conclusion yourself. Moreover, I'm truly not too sure about how a body type Spirit Essence like yours will react."

"Can you tell me how to draw out the strength of the imprint in the Soul Core?" Sheng Feilong asked with a serious expression. So far, he didn't interact with his own Soul Core much after forming it; He was too preoccupied with the old lion king becoming his Spirit Soul and everything connected to it. Song Weihan was understandably surprised by the question. "You don't know how to manipulate your Soul Core?"

His voice sounded disbelieving, as if expecting Sheng Feilong to make a joke, but the latter nodded his head and explained what happened while and after he formed the Soul Core. Song Weihan frowned after hearing it all. "That explains a lot... We'll push the creation of your True Avatar back for a while, then. Today, I'll help you to thoroughly understand your Soul Core and its abilities and strength."

Song Weihan let Sheng Feilong keep the information doc.u.ments of other Spirit Essence types' True Avatars as reference material, focusing on teaching Sheng Feilong to utilize his Soul Core properly. Usually, this was something a Soul Master would learn by themselves, experimenting with their own strength and its limits over the course of weeks, sometimes even months.

Most of those Soul Masters would create their True Avatar in the process as t not fall behind in their cultivation, but Song Weihan had Sheng Feilong thoroughly focus on controlling the Soul Core's powers. The latter already had a very rudimentary knowledge about the Soul Core and was able to use the Soul Power stored within as easily as breathing – Just like when the Soul Power was simply stored inside his body and Dantian.

Two days later, Song Weihan gave his approval for Sheng Feilong to create his True Avatar as his control was finally satisfactory. The two of them didn't meet up with She Meixiao and the others during this time, only training from day to night and returning to their quarters afterwards.

With his legs crossed, Sheng Feilong was sitting in the middle of the training hall, Song Weihan standing at the side while observing the latter. It has already been a few hours since Sheng Feilong started trying to create his True Avatar and the pressure radiating off of him was continuously climbing upwards.

By now, it had already reached the point where Sheng Feilong himself was sweating heavily from controlling the amount of energy, while Song Weihan's Spirit Power was precisely locked on to his Dantian and the Soul Core within; He was tense and ready to interfere at the first sign of something going wrong.

Minutes later, Sheng Feilong's Soul Power suddenly exploded outwards as if a ma.s.sive dam had been broken. A blinding flash of golden light burst forth, causing Song Weihan to avert his eyes despite his strong Spirit Power.

An unprecedented pressure befell the whole training hall, causing the walls to shake and the ground to creak as a gigantic phantom manifested behind Sheng Feilong. Clad in loose, golden martial artist's robes adorned with silver linings and long, dark-golden hair flowing behinds its back, all the way down to its knees, this giant silently stood behind Sheng Feilong like an emperor staring down at the world beneath his feet.

Sheng Feilong opened his eyes, the Radiant Emperor's Phantasmagoric Eyes activated and s.h.i.+ning in all their glory. Song Weihan unconsciously glanced at Sheng Feilong, who's power burst forth, and frowned lightly. The golden giant also stared at him when he met Sheng Feilong's gaze, causing Song Weihan to look up, meeting its gaze and causing Song Weihan to shudder ever so slightly.

Its eyes were the exact same as Sheng Feilong's, but it didn't have the runic symbol on its forehead like Sheng Feilong had. Instead, runic lines crept up all over its body, especially visible on the arms and chest. However, even more incredible were the runic lines that weren't connected to its body; Flowing behind its back like a mantle, giving it an even more majestic appearance.

Sheng Feilong blinked a few times, turning around to look into the same direction of Song Weihan. He looked up, observing the True Avatar for a short while, his eyes sparkling with delight as he felt his own power. He could feel the presence of everything within a few hundred metres radius, not even missing the light shudder that went down Song Weihan's back despite the latter instantly suppressing it.

Moreover, he felt like he knew exactly what Song Weihan was thinking at the moment, as if he could read the latter's mind. He looked over to Song Weihan with a gleeful smile, noticing that the True Avatar did the same. "Master, I've done it!"
