Chapter 241 234: Three Souls Out of Body
Three brilliant golden flowers converged above Ji Yunzhou's head. A golden radiance cascaded down, shrouding his entire body.
"What is this?!"
Chris felt a violent tremor from his palm. He turned to see Ji Yunzhou's current state, and his pupils contracted sharply.
Those three golden flowers did not just appear in his spiritual senses; they were tangible entities that could be seen with the naked eye. Moreover, the three golden flowers were incredibly solid and lifelike.
An individual's magnetic field influencing the surrounding magnetic field, projecting one's will into reality—the implications were self-evident.
"Another one?!"
In the Starry Sky Country's seating area, General Norton watched Ji Yunzhou on the stage, almost losing control of his expression and movements. He managed to calm himself, but his face remained terrifyingly grim.
Another one...
ANOTHER ONE!!
General Norton took a deep breath. This Ji Yunzhou seemed even younger than Zhang Zhizhen.
The tournament had now gone completely beyond his expectations.
One could imagine that as long as this Ji Yunzhou did not die, becoming a true Saint Awakening would not be difficult. He had already taken the most critical step.
From the finite to the infinite.
Even if the Starry Sky Country managed to win this tournament, they would still suffer a tremendous loss in the end.
Because two of their opponents had already broken through the limit.
He had originally thought this trip to Donghua would completely suppress the rise of the Donghua Martial Arts Realm. But now, it seemed as if he had traveled thousands of miles just to set the stage for their glorious rise.
Donghua Martial Artists... Donghua Martial Artists...
He truly could not understand why this was happening.
All he knew was that the potential of these people was terrifying. If Donghua's plan to popularize the Martial Dao was successfully implemented, then in terms of individual power, Donghua would become the greatest threat to the Starry Sky Country's global domination.
'Perhaps it's time to consider further cooperation with those treacherous individuals. The threat of Donghua must be suppressed as soon as possible.'
General Norton narrowed his eyes as countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He even considered whether he should end the tournament early if Chris lost this match.
After all, if it continued, there was no telling if more figures like Zhang Zhizhen and Ji Yunzhou would emerge.
"He did it!"
In the Donghua seating area, seeing the three golden flowers that were visible to the naked eye, everyone's eyes lit up.
Following Zhang Zhizhen, another person had finally appeared in this tournament who could break the limits!
This battle might just turn around because of this!
"Something's not right. Ji Yunzhou's condition seems off."
Yang Guhong's brow suddenly furrowed.
Hearing him say that, the others also sensed that something was amiss.
Although Ji Yunzhou had three flowers gathered above his head and was wreathed in golden light, his eyes were completely empty and vacant. He seemed to have lost all his spirit, like a walking corpse.
This state was indeed very strange.
'Could it be because he shattered his own Seven Spirits earlier, causing some unknown mutation?'
Everyone's expressions turned grim.
"Three Souls Leaving the Body?"
Elder Chen, who had been sitting silently in the contestant area, frowned slightly upon seeing Ji Yunzhou's condition on the stage. He slowly stood up, his expression a mixture of joy and, even more so, worry.
At this very moment, Ji Yunzhou was in a peculiar state.
His self-awareness had dropped to a minimum. His body seemed to have lost all sensation, yet he could still control it.
Most importantly, his perspective was no longer inside his body but seemed to be floating above it. He could even clearly "see" his own body and the top of his head.
The feeling was as if his soul had left his body. What he saw was merely a shell, a puppet. The three golden flowers floating above his head were his true self.
Three Souls Leaving the Body!
He immediately understood his situation. The Seven Spirits represent a person's physical constitution, while the Three Souls represent their spirit.
The two complement, restrain, and combine with each other to form a complete "person."
But now, under the control of his powerful will, his Seven Spirits had disintegrated. His body's magnetic field was in disarray, and its restraints on his spirit were weakened, causing his Three Souls to partially detach from his body.
Of course, only the union of body and mind can be called a "person." If his Three Souls were to completely leave his body, they would immediately dissipate on their own, with no chance of return.
Humans, after all, are not like Celestial Demons, who can exist in the world in a purely spiritual state.
The Fallen Soul Secret Technique was a forbidden secret of the Seven Spirits Sect. In the past, those whose Seven Spirits all perished could barely survive for a day. The chaos in the body's magnetic field caused by the collapse of the Seven Spirits completely disrupted the body's instincts.
At that point, the person's spirit would also be affected by the body, entering a dazed and chaotic state. It might even lead to the Three Souls leaving the body entirely, scattering into the air and turning the person into a thoughtless vegetable.
But Ji Yunzhou was different. His spirit was exceptionally powerful. The moment he stepped onto the stage and shattered his Seven Spirits with his immense will, determined to defeat his enemy, his spirit had already sublimated to a new realm. He was just one step away from fully integrating with his body, which would have allowed him to reverse life and death and create a miracle.
Unfortunately, this integration could not be completed. Because his Seven Spirits had already disintegrated, his Three Souls could not merge with them as one. This led to the bizarre situation he was now in.
His transmuted Three Souls could not merge with his body. And because the collapse of his Seven Spirits had lessened their restraint, the Three Souls had partially detached from his body.
On one hand, he could feel his body falling into a state of functional chaos due to the disintegration of his Seven Spirits. On the other hand, he could feel his Three Souls being able to control his body to unleash unimaginable power.
It seemed like a paradox.
At the same time, he faintly sensed that if he forcibly used his Three Souls to make his body unleash that kind of power, his body would likely suffer immense damage.
If Zhou Yuanjue were here, he would immediately see that Ji Yunzhou's Three Souls and body were partially separated. The power of his Three Souls surpassed his body's, and with his bodily functions in disarray and his instincts compromised, his Three Souls could control his body without limitation to launch any attack.
However, such attacks would exceed the body's limits, and a backlash was inevitable.
This was a state similar to Zhou Yuanjue's "self-limitation release" from the past. Fortunately, Ji Yunzhou, having just broken his limits, had not yet come into contact with or practiced using Magnetic Field Power. Otherwise, the Magnetic Field Power he could draw upon in this state of released self-limitation would have instantly turned his body into a rainbow of light.
'Did something go wrong?'
Seeing the vacant look in his opponent's eyes and the lack of any action, Chris's eyes lit up slightly as he seemed to understand something.
'This is my chance!!'
His figure flashed, and he decisively rushed toward Ji Yunzhou.
At that moment, under the threat of his opponent's advance, Ji Yunzhou's Three Souls, which had been immersed in that strange state, finally snapped back to awareness and immediately detected his opponent's figure.
'What's there to hesitate about?! I've already come this far! Even if my body is ground to dust, I have to defeat this guy first!!'
Ji Yunzhou's Three Souls surged with emotion, causing even his body's wooden face to crack a savage smile.
