When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 465 - 352: Refining the Divine Soul (Two Chapters Combined)_2

"If I can help the professor, that’s great."

Xiang Beifei couldn’t see what Professor Guo’s system interface was like, but he could roughly guess; if Elder Luo’s system had added 450,000 leisure value, Professor Guo’s wouldn’t fall far behind.

"No, no, you still don’t understand how much improvement this method has helped me! I’ve advanced an entire minor realm!" Professor Guo exclaimed, "The help you’ve brought me isn’t just the addition of system value, but also in the advancement of the ’Anti-Reversion’ cultivation technique. It’s closely related to my cultivation level. I really don’t know how to thank you."

Xiang Beifei was somewhat surprised, but he still said, "Then congratulations to you, professor. Please don’t mention it, you’ve also helped me a lot."

Although he didn’t know what exactly Professor Guo’s cultivation level was, he was still happy to have been able to help him advance.

"Anyway, I’ve noted this favor! Elder Luo isn’t here today, if you have any questions or need help with anything, I’ll do my best to assist you," Professor Guo said.

"There is something I do wish to consult with Professor Guo," Xiang Beifei said, "Professor, what exactly is the spirit soul?"

"Spirit soul? Why are you suddenly asking about spirit souls?" Professor Guo found it strange as Xiang Beifei’s cultivation was supposedly a long way from the God Refining phase.

Xiang Beifei hesitated and said, "Actually, my system asked me to find the answer in advance..."

Professor Guo exclaimed in surprise, "This is your system task?"

"Yes, it’s a system task! To complete it, I need to learn a lot of knowledge in advance," Xiang Beifei said earnestly.

"No wonder!"

Professor Guo nodded slightly and said, "You were able to score so highly on the Liangzhou University entrance exam and quickly master all the knowledge in my papers, handling matters with ease. Your Awakener system must be related to learning, isn’t it?"

Many people were curious about Xiang Beifei’s Awakener system, and Professor Guo was clearly one of them. He didn’t usually feel comfortable asking outright, as it was private, but today he finally got the chance, and it was Xiang Beifei who brought it up himself.

Xiang Beifei earnestly gave a thumbs-up: "I can’t hide anything from the professor."

"Haha, not at all!" Professor Guo laughed, then said, "Don’t worry, your system is absolutely confidential with me. Whatever you want to know about the spirit soul, just go ahead and ask."

Xiang Beifei said, "I want to know what exactly is the difference between the Meridian Opening phase and the God Refining phase? If I were to encounter a master of the God Refining phase, would I have any chance of defeating them?"

"No chance."

Professor Guo shook his head directly and said, "I know you have great talent, but in reality, the Meridian Opening phase and the God Refining phase are not even in the same league. Once in the God Refining phase, one’s entire strength undergoes a qualitative change; there’s not the slightest chance, because the others have an additional spirit soul. You in the Meridian Opening phase have no chance of killing a master in the God Refining phase."

Xiang Beifei nodded thoughtfully.

"Then what exactly is the spirit soul?" he asked.

"The spirit soul is a whole new realm,"

Professor Guo patiently explained to Xiang Beifei.

In the Meridian Opening phase, one needs to forge energy meridians, which are used to strengthen one’s physical constitution and make one’s Spiritual Power more abundant, ensuring you don’t feel powerless when using your abilities.

Once the energy meridians are fully forged, one must refine these meridians into a spirit soul!

Energy meridians are imbued within the body’s own meridians, a very special substance. In a way, forging energy meridians is like constructing an additional skeleton within one’s body!

But in the end, this skeleton is just a skeleton. After being fully opened, it is still a kind of unconscious, lifeless object.

And God Refining is about turning that skeleton into a living thing!

"So God Refining is the process of gradually animating the energy meridians in a very special way. It’s like giving yourself a second life! If your body is destroyed, you can rely on the spirit soul to survive," Professor Guo concluded.

""So that’s how it is."

Xiang Beifei had roughly understood, and he then asked, "It seems like the spirit soul doesn’t have battle strength?"

"The spirit soul in the God Refining phase doesn’t have battle strength, at least when you’ve just refined it, it cannot condense battle strength. To determine the strength of someone’s spirit soul, one must look at its substantiality. If it is only a shadow-like spirit soul, then it belongs to the very weak ones, but if you touch the spirit soul and can feel its solidity, then that person’s spirit soul does possess battle strength!"

"You mean, the more condensed the spirit soul, the stronger it is?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Right! That’s the idea." Professor Guo nodded.

From this perspective, Liu Shenghui’s spirit soul was very weak, and the spirits of Eternal Sleep and Keshi were also shadow-like, not too impressive.

"Then, can a spirit soul be revived?" Xiang Beifei asked again.

"That depends on the abilities of the system. Although it’s like having an extra life, the spirit soul is not really a body after all. A martial artist with a fragile spirit soul will need the help of others, but generally, systems will have their ways." Professor Guo said.

"So, how do you refine meridians into a spirit soul?" Xiang Beifei asked again.

"Once you’ve fully opened your meridians, the system will definitely help you. It will propose the most suitable path according to your body’s condition. You don’t have to worry about this for now. Elder Luo and I discussed it before, different systems have different ways of refining the spirit soul, and I can’t say if my method suits you." Professor Guo said.

Xiang Beifei said, "Professor, could you give me some guidance without revealing the secrets of your system?"

"What kind of talk is that? Helping students become stronger is our responsibility as teachers; there’s no such thing as secrets in this context. Since you need to do a system task, I’ll certainly help you." Professor Guo gestured dismissively.

"Professor, regarding system secrets, it’s still important to be cautious and not disclose everything. After all, if others learn about your system, it’s akin to exposing your weaknesses, and it’s easy to be targeted."

Xiang Beifei knew that Professor Guo was a responsible teacher, but it was often such people who were easier to be exploited by those with ulterior motives. For instance, when dealing with those blind to reason, he always relied on exploiting the weaknesses of their systems, something he knew all too well.

"Haha, don’t worry, I know my limits. I wouldn’t tell just anyone, but you’ve helped me a great deal, so this doesn’t count as a secret. I can even tell you how Luo refined his spirit soul, which he had once shared with me and would undoubtedly share with you as well." Professor Guo said.

An Xiyu looked at Xiang Beifei with rippling eyes. If it had been someone else, she would certainly have intervened to prevent Professor Guo from divulging such information, for fear of troublemakers like Wu Shixuan. But since it was Xiang Beifei who asked, she didn’t say much.

However, she was also pondering over the issue with Xiang Beifei’s system.

There were too many systems of the scholarly type, various Scholar Systems, Invincible Scholar God Systems, from S to SSR; a multitude could be listed, many of which essentially pursued the literary Dao. An Awakener like Xiang Beifei, who was peerless in the martial Dao, was truly rare.

"If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask more. I’m here to help you with the task. You can ask anything, and if I can help you become stronger, I’d be willing to sit here and answer your questions for three days and nights!"

Professor Guo was a person with a strong sense of responsibility. As long as he could help students become stronger, and grow into talents that could resist desolate beasts, he would impart all his knowledge to them.

"Thank you, Professor."

"Then let me tell you how to refine meridians into a spirit soul." Professor Guo said.

"I’ll leave then." An Xiyu said.

"You don’t need to leave; you can listen to this as well." Professor Guo said.

An Xiyu fell silent for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I shouldn’t know about these things; I’ll wait outside."

"You child, we’re all one of our own, what shouldn’t you know?" Professor Guo asked.

But An Xiyu didn’t explain and turned to leave the grove.

Xiang Beifei stared at An Xiyu’s retreating figure, faintly realizing something."
