Chapter 144: 101, 102. The clouds are bizarre, and the Divine Soul gathers objects for Manifestation (thanks to the alliance leader ’Boole’)_5

Song Cheng himself was a bit stunned.

He was just trying it out.

"No, aren’t Soul Trainers specialized in Illusionary Realms? Why... can I interact with tree branches?"

He pondered for a moment, gathered some more stones onto himself, and punched the branch again.

Crack!

The branch broke!

The branch was broken by Song Cheng’s Divine Soul!

The mudstone giant looked at its hands in amazement.

"Ah yes, Soul Trainers specialize in Illusionary Realms, but they don’t have Qi Realm Warriors."

With this thought, the mudstone giant charged into the forest like a whirlwind.

The wild beasts in the mountains had just gone to sleep. Although the Awakening of Insects had not yet arrived, many creatures like snakes woke up early. Of course... some were still hibernating.

However, as the mudstone giant swept through like a gust of wind, many animals were startled awake.

A monkey saw the mudstone giant and was so shocked it opened its mouth wide in the trees, utterly bewildered.

A tiger saw the mudstone giant and scrambled away in terror, running wildly into the distance.

Birds scattered in fright, and snakes slithered in confusion.

The power of the mudstone giant might not have been strong, but its intimidation was indeed fierce.

Song Cheng felt greatly pleased.

The most crucial thing was that he found any feedback from external impacts couldn’t reach his Divine Soul, as the final transmission of force was through the mudstone he had adhered to, not him.

In other words, if an enemy fought him and did their utmost to shatter his "mecha," he wouldn’t suffer any harm, at most... he would just take a breath and switch to another "mecha."

Moreover, to his surprise, controlling the "mecha" with his Divine Soul wasn’t tiring at all.

If it were his own bodily form, after running back and forth for so long, he would have felt something.

However, his Divine Soul felt very little fatigue.

With a thought, Song Cheng removed the mudstone and floated in mid-air, gazing at the moonlit sky, breathing... he wanted to draw the moonlight to his Divine Soul to form a "Moonlight Mech."

Yet, upon attempting, he couldn’t draw it in.

"I guess my strength isn’t there yet," Song Cheng wasn’t too disappointed, only feeling that the path of the Divine Soul was indeed full of promise for the future.

There was no stated classification of Divine Soul layers among Soul Trainers.

But after thinking about it, Song Cheng decided to name this level "Manifestation."

Because at this level, he could already manifest his Divine Soul using external objects.

After reaching "Manifestation," Song Cheng felt his Divine Soul’s speed and perception had increased significantly.

Riding a horse from the east side of the Prefectural City to the west would take four hours.

But now, he could do it in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

As for perception, even when immobile, he could see the scenery several miles away.

In other words, while surveying Hanping Prefecture, it was like being a "circle with a radius of several miles." Previously, it wasn’t even half a mile.

Beyond breadth, there was depth.

He could see deeper information; before, he could only sense about ten feet underground, but now it extended tenfold.

More efficient probing made Song Cheng decide to survey Hanping Prefecture again, to see if he could uncover any hidden threats against him.

After all, he could "see through walls and extend his perception to over ten yards deep," so even hidden basements couldn’t hide from him.

Initially, he was bothered by the fearsome "Invisible Four-Blade Ghost Servant," but now he was somewhat looking forward to it.

He wanted to catch another "Four Blade Ghost Servant" to bring back for Madam Tong to refine her medicine.

This was true Out of Body Divine Soul experience, exhilarating, truly exhilarating.

Not to mention, with increased probing efficiency, he actually discovered something.

While skimming over an edge of the eastern part of the city, Song Cheng suddenly noticed data in a basement.

Three of them.

All at Force Realm.

One with a favorability of 20, another 30, and the last 60.

He couldn’t see this before, but now he could.

His Divine Soul descended, penetrating downwards.

In the basement, three men dressed as martial artists were chatting.

"I still don’t understand the Hall Master’s arrangement. Why must we target the Northern Region Blade King? With such a great general sitting in Hanping Prefecture, isn’t that beneficial?"

"What’s beneficial about it? We’re just ordinary disciples, carrying out orders from above, why worry about so much.

Besides, the Northern Region Blade King... heh, arrogant and ignorant, unaware of the vastness of the heavens.

In a mountain without a tiger, the monkey proclaims itself king.

I am curious to see if he will scramble and kneel in pleading when encountering a true master."

"Hasn’t the Hall Master said that Song Cheng is involved with evil spirits, possibly even a high-level Ghost Servant? His danger is significant, even if we can’t deal with it, we must spread the news first.

He is blind; his eyes are the eyes of the evil spirit.

Why else would the evil spirit help him if he’s not a Ghost Servant?

It’s a pity that those people at Shanhe Martial Arts Hall have been deceived, perhaps possessed by ghosts."

The three martial artists swiftly conversed.

Song Cheng listened in on the side and roughly grasped the situation: these three were forces from outside.

When did they enter the prefecture?

As for the "Tang River Canal" mention, these three did not bring it up, clearly indicating that what Hua did was quite clean, without leaking any rumors.

Song Cheng thought for a moment, gathered earth and stone in a breath, then terrifyingly emerged from the basement ceiling. Silently overlooking the three conversing martial artists, he swiftly and stealthily knocked them unconscious with a series of punches like lightning.

Having done this, he searched the place thoroughly and unexpectedly discovered an identity token—a symbol of Northern Snow State City’s Five and a Half Hall, ordinary disciple.

Five and a Half Hall, Song Cheng had heard of it.

In the Dashang Dynasty, village, county, prefecture, state...

A county contained many villages.

A prefecture contained many counties.

And a state contained many prefectures.

Northern Snow State was the state to which Hanping Prefecture belonged, and despite local separatism and martial arts dominance over political power, there was still a faint hierarchical relationship.

Five and a Half Hall was a major force in Northern Snow State.

The meaning of "Five and a Half" was that among the strong of the north, Five and a Half Hall occupied "Five and a Half."

Back then, when Song Cheng launched the moniker "Northern Region Blade King," he was actually quite eager for state city experts to come forth.

No one paid him any heed, but now... is this their arrival?

However, it seemed not for the moniker of "Northern Region Blade King" but for another purpose.

The mudstone giant squinted, and for a moment, many recent events connected, forming only a vague picture.

It appeared connected, yet not.

Unclear, still unclear.
