Chapter 81 The Unity of Heaven and Man
Under the guidance of Long Aotian, Huo Yuhao first wandered around to familiarize himself with the environment within the Body Sect.

Although he was acknowledged as the last disciple by Du Bu Si himself, it was not yet time for him to formally become his disciple.

However, compared to Shrek Academy's control over outer court disciples, in the current main body sect, there is only the sect's forbidden area that only the sect master can enter.

Other areas such as the Sutra Library and the training room are open to Huo Yuhao as usual, and the authority he has is no different from that of his senior brother Long Aotian.

"Junior brother, for the next period of time, you should follow me to learn how to deepen your understanding and application of your martial spirit."

Long Aotian brought Huo Yuhao back to the training ground where Du Bushi had tested him before, and then smiled an evil yet proud smile.

"Although we in the Body Sect will not slack off in the cultivation of soul power, compared to the cultivation of soul power, most of our disciples' time is invested in the development of the body martial soul."

"Because the body spirit is different from the beast spirit, it is a part of the human body. Compared with soul beasts, humans are a race favored by gods, and compared with other spirits, the body spirit can be called a spirit favored by gods."

Speaking of this, Long Aotian said with a bit of fanaticism that this was also the arrogance passed down from the ancestors of the Body Sect. They who had their body martial souls awakened for the second time looked down on other martial souls equally.

"So compared to ordinary soul masters with beast martial souls and weapon martial souls, we can more easily comprehend the use of mental power, soul power, and qi and blood power."

“Based on this, I created my own soul skills, which are also called combat skills in our body sect. They are difficult to find in the outside world. They can be said to be everywhere. They can only be called entry-level.”

"During your practice, you may have been curious about why those soul masters, especially low-level soul masters, must rely on soul skills to control their martial souls, and why it is so difficult for them to create their own soul skills."

"For example, after summoning their martial souls, if there is no soul skill to guide and control them, then those great soul masters, even soul masters and soul lords, can only let their martial souls 'grow' but cannot move freely."

"The plants they can control must be based on soul skills, such as entanglement. If they don't have the corresponding soul skills, their martial souls can't even perform similar actions."

"Master once told me this. This is because beast spirits and weapon spirits are not inherently part of humans. They are external forces."

"Those flying soul masters who have grown wings need to practice for a long time to fly, especially the flying skills, which are not something they are born with."

"The same is true for those beast soul masters who have grown tails and horns. Even those weapon soul masters need to practice how to use their martial souls most effectively before they can fight."

"That's because you can freely control the opening and closing of your mouth and the movement of your hands and feet, but how can you make a tree or a sword move freely according to your wishes? This requires practice."

"This is the problem that troubles most soul masters. Even in the so-called number one Shrek Academy on the continent, before they master the Soul Saint-level martial soul avatar, they find it difficult to use their martial souls freely."

"But our martial souls are different. I believe you should also have some experience. After awakening the martial soul, even if you don't use soul skills, mental power or soul power."

"You can use the instincts of your martial spirit while your martial spirit is possessed. There will be no stagnation or discomfort. You can do it with ease."

Huo Yuhao nodded, and when he said this, a crystal light emerged from Long Aotian's body, and he entered a state of martial spirit possession. Six soul rings of yellow, purple, and black took shape under his feet.

Then, Long Aotian said to Huo Yuhao: "Junior brother, watch my next move carefully. This is the secret of my Body Sect's dominance besides the second awakening of the martial soul."

The white jade light emanating from one of Long Aotian's arms gradually seeped into the air, and then the surrounding energy followed his movements and attached to his hand.

Huo Yuhao could see through the Eye of Truth that it was Long Aotian’s mental power that was working under his will. His mental power was combined with his soul power and blood power, and then resonated with the energy in the environment at a specific frequency.

Then, through personal will, the surrounding energy is guided to resonate according to one's wishes.

"The unity of heaven and man is the most direct way for a soul master in my body sect to become a Super Douluo, although it is not necessary to have a soul master who has achieved the unity of heaven and man to become a Super Douluo."

"If you have an exceptional martial spirit, luck, and resources, you can still achieve a breakthrough even if you don't have the understanding of how to enter the state of unity between man and nature. However, if the two are equal in strength, the combat power of the former is weaker than the latter."

"And this is also the direction that our Body Sect is studying. Combining the combat skills of mental power, soul power, and blood power is the prerequisite for the unity of man and nature."

"Because the disciples of my body sect put most of their energy into this practice, the cultivation of soul power is just a matter of letting it take its course and come naturally."

"However, due to the second awakening of the main body's martial soul, the martial soul quality and personal qualifications of our core disciples have been improved, so their general cultivation is not low among people of the same age."

Huo Yuhao nodded, understanding what Long Aotian meant, but most of the other party’s words were just humbleness.

The so-called soul power training comes naturally, and it is just to integrate the process of soul power training into the practice of combat skills. Although there are no soul masters who specialize in soul power training and spend the whole day on training, it is so outrageous.

However, within the Body Sect, the training of combat skills is absolutely extremely diligent, and coupled with the transformation of the second awakening of the silver-level martial soul, this led to Long Aotian, who practiced both combat skills and the state of unity between man and nature, being able to become a Soul Emperor at the age of fifteen.

"The combat skills taught in our sect are varied, but after all, the martial spirits that can be formed by human tissue are limited. Even if the attributes tend to be different, the basics are still the same."

"So I can teach you all the basic training. As for how to find the most suitable and powerful fighting skills for yourself, you have to rely on your own research and practice."

"You can use other people's fighting skills as a reference, but you must not get too addicted to them, otherwise it will be difficult to take your final step."

"And when the fighting skills are perfected and integrated, the state of unity between man and nature will naturally come naturally."

Although it is easy for Long Aotian to say it, the state of unity between man and nature is not something that everyone in the Body Sect can achieve.

The development and understanding of the martial soul has influenced the martial soul master's combat skills to reach a state of perfection, because only when the combat skills are trained into the instinct of the martial soul and the soul master can it be called perfect.

In this case, combat skills must be perfectly matched with the martial soul itself, so even the sect master and elders cannot give guidance on this last step, and can only rely on personal understanding. After all, even if everyone's martial soul is in the same part, the origin attributes, martial soul strength and soul master's personality are slightly different, and cannot be generalized.

If you are under the guidance of others, or learn other people's fighting skills, then they will undoubtedly be strongly influenced by others, and it will be extremely difficult to correct them.

So now Long Aotian just started to practice the most basic standing practice of the Body Sect with Huo Yuhao.

"You are a spiritual soul master, and your spiritual power level is not low, so it should be easy for you to get started. First, follow my movements and try to use your spiritual power to feel the movement of your soul power and blood power, and then try to make these three be in the same state."

After Long Aotian struck a pose, he told Huo Yuhao about his experience, but before he could finish, he felt Huo Yuhao's aura change, and his face froze.

"Is that so, Senior Brother? What's the next step?" Huo Yuhao asked.

Through the Eye of Truth, he could naturally see the operation patterns of Long Aotian's mental power, soul power, and qi and blood power.

And because of the existence of the Eye of Truth, what he sees may be even more profound than Long Aotian's understanding of himself.

Following the same pattern, Huo Yuhao made minor adjustments based on the actual condition of his body through the Eye of Truth, and soon reached a level that was almost the same as Long Aotian's.

Coupled with his spiritual power that had reached the tangible and intangible level, Huo Yuhao easily completed the entry that would take an ordinary soul master at least several months to complete, and he was even better than that.

Huo Yuhao's words immediately silenced Long Aotian.

Normally, standing meditation is a static exercise, and the next step is to coordinate it with dynamic exercises of various movements to circulate Qi and blood.

This can stimulate the circulation of soul power, allowing the soul master's mental power to more easily sense the existence of the other two.

After completing the dynamic exercises, return to the static exercises to feel and adjust the frequencies of essence, energy and spirit. Repeat this cycle until they can be unified.

But Huo Yuhao had just started practicing the standing meditation and he had already achieved the final result. How should he continue teaching?
The corners of Long Aotian's mouth twitched, and he said, "I didn't expect that Junior Brother is so gifted. But it is true. After all, when ordinary brothers practice this step, they don't have the mental power attainments of Junior Brother."

"Next, when the mental force, soul force, and qi and blood force are unified, what you need to do is to maintain this state. Whether you are moving, sitting or lying down, you must be careful."

"In this case, the circulation of soul power can be maximized and sustained, while stimulating the growth of qi and blood power and strengthening the soul master's physique. Even if the soul master is not a spiritual attribute, he can continue to polish and strengthen his own spiritual power in this process."

"If you persist, you will enter the second stage. At this point, you will use various common movements of the body as the basis, combine soul power, mental power, and blood power, and use the martial soul as the medium to create your own combat skills."

"I can't teach you anymore, little brother. Master left some medicine before he left. You should first figure out your gold-level second awakening. After you're done, you can go to the Sutra Library to take a look."

Three days later, Long Aotian fled to another training ground. As he had been guiding Huo Yuhao through the training these few days, he even began to doubt himself, wondering what on earth he had been practicing all these years.

Since the first day of his entry into the martial arts world, Huo Yuhao used his martial soul to create his own soul skills that suited him.

Then on the second day after entering the martial arts, Huo Yuhao was able to integrate his will and emotions into his combat skills, achieving a four-in-one combat skill.

On the third day after entering the martial arts world, Huo Yuhao had already mastered the perfect control of his fighting skills and entered the realm of unity between man and nature.

Although during the three days of guiding Huo Yuhao into the door, Long Aotian also felt that the shackles that had originally trapped him and prevented him from breaking through to the level of unity of man and nature had loosened, and it would not take long for him to complete the breakthrough, but compared with Huo Yuhao's progress, the difference was like heaven and earth.

What Long Aotian didn’t know was that without him, Huo Yuhao would not have been able to break through the chasm that troubled most soul masters in becoming Super Douluo in just three days.

Because he took Long Aotian as a reference, Huo Yuhao skipped most of the trial and error stages. With his powerful mental strength combined with the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao was able to quickly master combat skills by observing himself and making timely adjustments.

As for the development of combat skills? After possessing the gold-level second awakening Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao only needed to select those soul power circuits that were suitable for spiritual attributes and combine them with martial souls.

After all, combat skills are only a prerequisite. The most important thing is how to integrate soul power, mental power, qi and blood power with personal will.

The use of soul power, mental power, and blood power are all superficial, and the most difficult to master is the infusion of personal will. However, Huo Yuhao has mastered this application through his previous analysis of the emotions that came from the fear of the dragon.

For Huo Yuhao, it is different from the other soul masters who use the method of elimination to conduct trial and error. First, he finds possible options step by step, then compares these options to see which one is the best solution, and finally retains it firmly for deduction.

For others, the options they try for the first time may be 98% suitable and close to perfect.

But the second attempt was 99% more perfect.

Then it became 97%, and then it got lower and lower.

Therefore, they will mistake 99% of the options as the most perfect state.

Only after it has been stabilized will you realize that something is wrong, and then you will abandon the current line of thought and start over again, repeating this cycle over and over again, wasting time.

But for Huo Yuhao who possesses the Eyes of Truth, he only needs to look. Every modification will only be made to the places that don’t fit, and the correct places will not be demolished and started over.

Huo Yuhao only needs to make sure that he finally sees a result that is 100% consistent, which will mean success, and then he can consolidate and preserve it.
