Chapter 36 Devouring and Controlling
"Do you think you are the only one in the world?" Zhang Quan sneered, "Yes, you can take the initiative to obtain certain abilities in the book or other people, and you can also freely choose specific abilities. This is true - talent is indeed different from ordinary people. But in the final analysis, it is not an exaggeration to allow a person to have a certain fixed skill through external forces, right? It's like if you have heard that gods can fly, you believe that people cannot fly by plane. This is not right? You can't just allow others to have copycat castration magical powers just because you have great magical powers, right? Isn't this just allowing state officials to set fires and people to light lamps?"
"Uh... So that's it." Hao Ning thought for a while, not planning to reply to Zhang Quan's long speech, "Will Qi Li be in such a danger? Will he have any problems with his lifespan or physical condition like Zhou Yuan at that time?"
"Well..." Zhang Quan stood up and looked at the rubbing on the wall carefully. "It should be no problem depending on the situation, but you have to call Qili back and take a look--" As Zhang Quan waved his palm, Qili and Long Fei immediately appeared in the conference room.
However, when Liu Shuai and Haoning saw Qi Li, they instantly petrified because they saw Long Fei turning into a black dragon flying, and Qi Li was riding on Long Fei's dragon god.
"It's so cool, Jia! It turns out that what my brother said when he was a child was true!" Qi Li shouted excitedly, "Brother Long Fei, I didn't expect to look from the sky--oh?"
"Haha, it's great--" The black dragon was answering proudly, and suddenly found that he appeared in the conference room. Zhang Quan was in front of him. He shivered all over and quickly turned into a human form. Li Longfei was standing on the ground.
"You..." Hao Ning felt that Zhang Quan's originally narrowed eyes were glaring to his limit. If he had a beard, he could blow his beard to the sky with anger. "What are you messing with?"
"Uh, we are messing around, I'm just riding him..." Qi Li muttered.
"Ahem, cough," Hao Ning coughed a few times quickly, "Mr. Zhang, will there be any problem with Qi Li's lifespan?"
"He is alive and is a disaster!" Zhang Quan glared at Li Longfei. Li Longfei shook and his neck shrank even harder. Then Zhang Quan sighed, "Let's take a look."
As he said that, Zhang Quan stretched out his hand again, and the air was dry again. Zhang Quan did the same thing and slapped Qili with black water mist again.
"I'll tell you--" Qi Lijian took another photo, but he didn't dodge this time, but he couldn't help but complain.
Sure enough, there was another black shadow next to the soul rubbing on the wall.
Zhang Quan glanced at him and sighed: "You guys take a look."
When Liu Shuai saw it, his face changed slightly: "This?"
"It seems--" Hao Ning looked at the shadow carefully. There was no difference in other places, but the "book" in his right hand seemed to be longer than before. It was rather than longer, the right arm of his right hand became shorter, and the rest of the parts were supplemented by the book.
"Use his ability once," Zhang Quan even didn't want to call Qili's name, and directly used "him" instead. "The part of the book spirit in the soul will be bigger. If you use it a few more times, the soul will be gone."
After saying that, he said to Zhou Yuan: "Your ship of Thesseus has really become another ship."
"It's gone?" Hao Ning said, "I'm eaten by Shu Ling?"
"Well..." Zhang Quan pondered for a moment and looked at Hao Ning, "You have asked for this sentence, you have a good method, a good method, I didn't even expect it!"
"What does it mean?" Liu Shuai asked.
"The original soul of this person will be melted and swallowed by the book spirit every time he uses his 'power'," Zhang Quan continued to think, "but the book spirit itself cannot 'digest' these souls, so it will inevitably gather in some place and extract the soul through some means."
"It's like alcohol and water can blend together," Hao Ning's eyes lit up, as if he understood, "But as long as the mixture is heated to 78 degrees Celsius, alcohol will naturally be purified?"
"Uh..." Zhang Quan was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed, "There are wisdom and wisdom! The example you gave is really amazing. I was just thinking about how to explain this complex soul hybrid transformation process to you. You are so vivid in saying this."
"What a wise man," Liu Shuai curled his lips, looking dissatisfied. "He is the little prince of chemistry, and the chemistry scores in the college entrance examination in the middle school entrance examination are all full marks."
"Low, low-key," Hao Ning laughed and then asked curiously, "How did you know?"
"You show off whenever you have the chance in the company, and you want to let the cleaning master know!" Liu Shuai didn't want Haoning to continue to feel superior, so he made a call and asked Zhang Quan to continue talking.
"If this kind of soul is merging with the book spirit, if it is purified by some means, the original soul's memory and consciousness will completely disappear," Zhang Quan thought carefully, as if he was also calculating, "Oh, so that the other party can get a completely pure spirit body. The spirit body obtained in this way is not worse than the Wuxiang Incense, or even better! The old magic skills practice methods in the past can only obtain unjust souls. Although the skills progress rapidly, it is easy to get into a devil in the process of cultivation, but if this method is used, it should not be possible!"
"It's like a piece of salt melting in water and being purified," Hao Ning followed Zhang Quan's thoughts and described it with his own understanding. "Not only is the salt itself purer, but this piece of salt will not remember its original shape at all. It's like a brand new piece of salt, right?"
"Yes! What a smart young man," Zhang Quan looked at Hao Ning with a smile. "It's a pity that you can't practice magic, otherwise you will definitely achieve more success-" Zhang Quan deliberately bit the word "more" very heavily. Liu Shuai looked out the window and ignored him. Zhang Quan paused and continued, "And, what's even more terrifying is-"
"There is something even more terrifying?" Hao Ning and Liu Shuai looked at each other and asked quickly.
"If this person's soul is swallowed up, this person will be either crazy, a vegetable, or a walking zombie." Zhang Quan slapped the table, feeling both heartbroken and excited. "At this time, the demonic path can control this person through the source of the book spirit, and the gods can achieve their goals without knowing it. By then, the demonic path will have a continuous stream of pure spiritual power for cultivation, and there will be puppets controlled by him. It will kill multiple shots in one fell swoop. It is a good means and a good means!"
"You mean, you can control independent people through just a few books? How is that possible?" Although Zhang Quan's reasoning was not a problem, Hao Ning still couldn't accept this conclusion.
