Chapter 48: Body Strengthening Technique "Soul Power Body Training," Xiao Wu: Why am I mentioned again?!

Back to Su Ming's side.

After winning, Su Ming didn't care much when he saw Tang San walking away alone. If it weren't for Tang Ritian, Su Ming would have definitely taken the chance to torment Tang San a bit.

Then, Su Ming stopped the recording and began writing in his diary.

[I just had a match with Tang San, and it was really satisfying! Tang San started with his signature Mom's Binding Move, so I couldn't fall behind. I pulled the same move, but I didn't even use a soul skill, which left Tang San completely dumbfounded. Hahaha!]

All the girls: Su Ming, you're so mean! Shrimp-hearted and pig-hearted!

[I bet Tang San's feeling pretty crushed right now, probably going off to consult Yu Xiaogang for some advice.]

[If I'm right, Yu Xiaogang will tell Tang San to focus on raising his level, and that he can worry about creating his own soul skills later. After all, it's not easy to create high-quality soul skills.]

[In this world, self-created soul skills are quite common, but most of them aren't as powerful as those granted by soul rings. Compared to leveling up, the time investment in self-created skills just isn't worth it. So, Yu Xiaogang's advice to Tang San isn't wrong.]

[After all, Yu Xiaogang thinks that Tang San, with his innate full soul power, will eventually surpass me, who started with only level seven. There's no need to worry about a short-term loss. He probably even thinks my presence will motivate Tang San to grow.]

[But what Yu Xiaogang can't predict is that my cultivation speed will outpace Tang San's, and I still have many powerful Wood Release techniques up my sleeve. The ones I used today, like Wood Release: Silent Binding and Wood Release: Four Pillar Prison, are just basic Wood Release techniques.]

[Speaking of which, these two moves are signature techniques of Yamato, but the advanced Wood Release techniques like those used by Senju Hashirama are still beyond my reach.]

Hearing this, the girls became even more curious about the future Wood Release techniques Su Ming might use. The ones from today already had significant power, so what about the higher-level ones?

Soon, the day passed, and the exciting moment arrived at midnight!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's diary entry. Reward: "Soul Power Body Training Technique."]

What the...!

Today was another lucky day! The reward was the body strengthening technique he'd been dreaming of!

Su Ming quickly checked the description of the technique.

["Soul Power Body Training Technique," as the name suggests, uses one's own soul power to strengthen the meridians, bones, and other internal parts of the body. The higher the quality of the soul power, the better the effect. If external resources are added, the result is even greater.]

[Note: Soul Power Body Training is extremely dangerous and requires a high degree of control over one's own soul power before attempting!]

Su Ming smiled. This technique seemed to be tailor-made for him. While it might be dangerous for others, it was perfect for him!

He already had excellent control over his soul power, thanks to the "Soul Power Guiding Technique" he had practiced earlier, which allowed him to manipulate his soul power freely.

Huh?

"Soul Power Guiding Technique?"

Su Ming asked himself, System, don't tell me you arranged this? How come I conveniently got the Soul Power Guiding Technique right before obtaining the Body Training Technique?

[Ding! What is the host talking about? The system doesn't understand. All rewards are random and have nothing to do with the system, hehehe!]

Su Ming: ...

Su Ming was speechless. He didn't believe the system's words for a second. It was definitely deliberate!

Oh well, who cares? As long as it benefits him. Su Ming then began to record today's reward in his diary.

[Hahaha, today I was lucky again! After so long, the system finally rewarded me with something useful instead of talismans, snacks, drinks, or...maid outfits and stockings.]

At first, Su Ming's entry sounded normal, but then, out of nowhere, some questionable items like maid outfits and stockings slipped in. Ugh!

Xiao Wu's face flushed red as she read it. Su Ming hadn't made her wear the maid outfit yet, but if he asked her to, should she agree or at least pretend to refuse?

So conflicted!

[Today, the system rewarded me with a Body Training Technique, "Soul Power Body Training." It doesn't require external resources, just control over your own soul power to strengthen your meridians and bones. For me, that's no problem at all. I've already mastered control over my soul power!]

[This body training technique is widely applicable because it doesn't require extra resources, making it a great way to enhance physical attributes. But there's a catch: you must have perfect control over your soul power!]

[Most people can't control their soul power as if it were their limbs. There's a saying I recall: while soul rings grant soul masters powerful abilities, they also limit their control over their own soul power!]

The girls, intrigued, wondered how this was possible!

[After all, there's a small remnant of the soul beast's consciousness in every soul ring. And since soul beasts are natural enemies of soul masters, their lingering wills subconsciously obstruct the soul master's control, making it harder to master their soul power. The same applies to soul bones!]

[This is a tricky problem to solve unless the soul master becomes a god or the soul beast holds no hostility toward the soul master. But both scenarios are incredibly rare!]

Some of the female leads, especially those with high soul power, nodded slightly, agreeing with Su Ming's insights. After absorbing a soul ring, it always took time for them to fully control the unfamiliar energy. Otherwise, their soul skills might become unstable!

[Both situations are something Tang San achieved in the original story. He eventually reached godhood, and his soul rings and bones evolved with him, eliminating their residual animosity.]

[The best example is Tang San's external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances. They evolved step by step with him, eventually becoming a part of his body. After Tang San became a god, the Eight Spider Lances even transformed into a divine weapon!]

Bibi Dong felt particularly touched by this, as she was currently working toward this level. Her external soul bone had also evolved several times, though it hadn't reached the ten-thousand-year level yet. It only gave her enhanced flight speed, which, while useful, lacked offensive capabilities.

[And speaking of the other situation, we have to mention Xiao Wu.]

Xiao Wu exclaimed, "Why am I being brought up again?!"

A bad feeling crept over her.
