105: Chapter 01: Enlightenment in One Day, Emperor Lieyang, Jiang Yang!

After hearing those words...

The previously noisy lecture hall fell silent in an instant.

Even the students who had seemed somewhat lax couldn't help but sit up straight, listening intently to what Zhao Shanhe had to say next.

Zhao Shanhe didn't keep them in suspense, continuing straightforwardly, "For this kind of power that you haven't encountered before, there are actually many ways to name it."

"Some call it the 'Heart,' while others call it the 'Dao.'"

Heart?

Dao?

Upon hearing these two words from Zhao Shanhe, everyone present couldn't help but look bewildered.

Truth be told, without Zhao Shanhe's explanation, they truly couldn't understand what connection these two words had with strength.

"Everyone here should know the origin of Vicious Beasts, right?"

"A thousand years ago, the blood moon hung in the sky, and countless spatial rifts appeared out of thin air on our Planet Blue!"

"Countless massive beasts descended upon the world through those spatial rifts!"

"Furthermore, under the radiance of the blood moon, even the native flora and fauna of Planet Blue underwent mutations, becoming terrifying Vicious Beasts!"

"For humanity, that was undoubtedly the darkest era."

"Fortunately, at that most desperate moment, [Beast Soul Masters] appeared among humans!"

"A so-called Beast Soul Master is a human who can transform into a Vicious Beast!"

"Some awakened the Barbarian Elephant beast soul, capable of transforming into a mountain-sized Barbarian Elephant; an elephant hoof stomp is enough to split mountains and crack the earth!"

"Some awakened the Golden Crow beast soul, becoming the Great Sun Golden Crow; their wings cover the sky and block the sun, and the Golden Crow flames they spit can burn mountains and boil seas!"

"Others awakened the Taotie beast soul, transforming into a Taotie giant beast; with their mouths wide open, they can swallow the heavens and devour the sun..."

Although what Zhao Shanhe said was familiar to them all...

Coming from his mouth, it carried a heavier sense of history.

"With the continuous development of humanity, the number of Beast Soul Masters has grown day by day."

"But at the same time, a problem emerged."

"That is, more and more Beast Soul Masters find themselves stuck at a Bottleneck after their strength reaches a certain level. Some cannot make even an inch of progress for years or even decades, let alone reach the heights of the first-generation Beast Soul Masters."

"In response to this issue, the [Beast Soul Hall] conducted over a decade of research, analyzing countless samples, and finally found a commonality."

"That is, most Beast Soul Masters trapped at a Bottleneck are there because they haven't comprehended their own [Dao]."

"The so-called [Dao] is actually a person's state of mind."

"When your state of mind is perfectly aligned with your own beast soul, you have stepped onto your own Dao."

After Zhao Shanhe spoke, some in the classroom looked thoughtful, while others remained completely bewildered.

Zhao Ming scratched his head and whispered softly, "How does this sound so mystical? Song Lan, did you understand it?"

Song Lan nodded and said, "I do have some insights, but I don't know if they're correct."

Beside them, Lin Yuan also fell into thought.

Truth be told, he had never heard a theory like this before.

Only when one's state of mind aligns with their beast soul can they exert even greater power?

Lin Yuan felt that he did indeed have some realization, but it was like looking at flowers through a fog—not quite clear.

Just then, Zhao Shanhe spoke again.

"I know that saying it like this, you might not necessarily understand."

Zhao Shanhe said, "Take myself for example. In the past, to break through to the Lord Level, I once trekked for half a year just to travel across the famous mountains and great rivers of Huaxia."

"You should know that the beast soul I awakened is the [Earth Demon Bear]."

"So, I traveled through famous mountains and rivers to feel the majesty and weight of the earth."

"I have also kept company with bears, living with Wild Bears and mimicking their every move."

"Once you feel these things, you will naturally be able to achieve perfect Fusion with your own beast soul."

"The beast soul will truly become a part of you, and you will naturally be able to mobilize the beast soul's power as you wish."

"Just like... this."

As soon as he finished speaking, a yellowish phantom of a giant bear suddenly appeared behind Zhao Shanhe, emitting a majestic and savage Aura!

The pressure spreading in all directions felt as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting.

Facing this pressure, even Beast King Level Beast Soul Masters felt it was slightly taxing.

As for those students whose strength hadn't even reached the Beast King Level, their faces flushed red as if they were about to suffocate.

Fortunately, Zhao Shanhe raised his hand, and the phantom of the Earth Demon Bear dissipated.

"You should have felt it, right? The power of the bear and the breath of the earth—these are all part of my power, power I unearthed after finding my own [Dao]."

"Of course, because everyone's beast soul characteristics are different, everyone's [Dao] is naturally different as well."

"As long as it aligns with your beast soul, then it is the right [Dao]!"

"And this is also a type of Talent."

"There was once a student at Yanjing Beast University whose awakened beast soul was the S-rank Beast Soul [Golden Crow]. Such Aptitude wasn't considered particularly outstanding; his Talent was only average among his peers."

"After reaching Beast King Rank Nine Star, he also fell into a Bottleneck."

"One by one, the people around him surpassed him and broke through to the Lord Level, but he didn't make a Breakthrough for a long time."

"But he wasn't in a hurry because, deep in his heart, he had already found his own [Dao]."

"He found a snow-capped mountain that reached into the clouds. Every day, he would transform into a Golden Crow, fly to the peak, and meditate on the rising sun."

"Day after day, year after year."

"For three whole years, his strength didn't improve at all, but he didn't care because his state of mind was changing every day."

"Until finally, he even felt that he was no longer human, but had truly become a Golden Crow—a Great Sun Golden Crow that could transform into a blazing sun!"

"On that day, he attained enlightenment."

"In just one day, his strength broke through from Beast King Rank Nine Star all the way to Lord Level Six Star!"

"And his own beast soul also leaped from the original S-rank [Golden Crow] to the SSS-rank [Great Sun Golden Crow]!"

"This is what it truly means... to be enlightened in a single day!"

"Speaking up to this point, I believe many of you have already guessed who he is."

"That's right, the person I'm talking about is one of the current Beast Emperor Rank Beast Soul Masters, the Blazing Sun Emperor, Jiang Yang!"
