Chapter 16: Heart Of Destruction And Mobile Phone
“Quickly put away your Martial Spirit. What exactly happened?” Meng Huaifeng said in a low and urgent voice.
“Why?” March 7th obediently put away her Martial Spirit, but she didn’t understand why Meng Huaifeng was so nervous.
“In this world, only Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast Humanoids can produce Soul Rings on their own. If someone sees it, they will probably think you are a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast. As everyone knows, Humanoid Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts do not have the strength of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts, but they have Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones. March, you don’t want us to be hunted down everywhere we go, right?” Meng Huaifeng transformed into someone who lived a pretty good little life.
As if seeing the scene of herself being hunted, March 7th shivered: “Eek~, I don’t want to be wanted right after arriving on a planet. This girl is not a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast.”
“Then don’t let others on this planet know that you can condense Soul Rings on your own. After Star’s Awakening is complete, remind Star too.” Meng Huaifeng said.
“Got it, this girl remembers.” March 7th nodded quickly.
“Then tell me, how did you get that Soul Ring?” Meng Huaifeng asked.
“I don’t know either. I just kept inputting energy into my Martial Spirit, and then a Soul Ring suddenly appeared. At first it was white, and soon it turned yellow.” March 7th scratched her head.
“Alright, I understand.” Meng Huaifeng nodded.
“What do you understand?” March 7th was still confused.
“In this world, Divine Power can manufacture Soul Rings and improve Soul Ring years, while Imaginary Energy is energy more advanced than the Divine Power of this world. It’s not strange that Imaginary Energy can do what Divine Power can do.” Meng Huaifeng explained.
The world of Honkai: Star Rail is composed of the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta, and Imaginary Energy comes from the Imaginary Tree. Depending on different Destinies, it exhibits different effects. It can be said that Imaginary Energy is one of the foundations constituting the world, and naturally ranks higher than the Divine Power of this world in energy level.
The Divine Power of this world is merely energy formed by Soul Power fused with the power of Faith.
Upon learning that they could produce Soul Rings on their own without needing to hunt Soul Beasts, Dan Heng dispelled the thought of not awakening his Martial Spirit.
In the room, Star’s Martial Spirit Awakening had reached a critical moment.
The sound of a heartbeat gradually rose from the room, growing louder and louder, like drumming. Accompanied by intense rumbling, dazzling golden light emanated from Star’s chest.
That scene seemed familiar.
“Oh no! Star is out of control again! Uncle Yang isn’t here this time.” March 7th exclaimed.
“It’s different. Last time Star lost control, the erupted energy was extremely powerful and violent. This time it’s just emitting golden light, and the energy is very stable.” Dan Heng reassured March 7th.
God Realm, Temple of Destruction.
The God King of Destruction’s expression suddenly changed, his gaze distant as if seeing Douluo Star across countless spaces. He murmured, “It seems a power very suitable to succeed my Divine Position has been born in the lower realm.”
Steward Liu looked at Star’s chest emitting golden light and said in surprise, “Your Martial Spirit… is a heart?”
Although she had long heard that some people’s Martial Spirits were parts of their bodies, this was the first time she had truly seen it.
“This is called the Heart of Destruction.” Star said proudly with her chest puffed out.
“Good, Heart of Destruction. Now test your Soul Power.” Steward Liu handed the crystal ball to Star.
Star still remembered March 7th’s reminder and carefully inputted a bit of energy into the crystal ball.
Moments later, Steward Liu’s furious shout came from the room: “Innate Full Soul Power again?! Damn it! Your parents are truly damnable! Two good seedlings, ruined by them just like that! I’m so angry!”
“Who’s next?” After venting, Steward Liu turned her gaze to Meng Huaifeng and Dan Heng.
“You go first.” Dan Heng pushed Meng Huaifeng.
“Alright.” Meng Huaifeng had been getting a bit impatient and didn’t decline. After Star came out, he walked into the center of the array.
The same process, a few minutes passed. Meng Huaifeng felt a heat flow rushing toward his right hand.
Meng Huaifeng did not suppress this energy and let it surge out.
With his right hand slightly open, a somewhat illusory mobile phone floated in Meng Huaifeng’s palm.
“What is this thing?” Steward Liu frowned. She had never seen it before, not even heard of it.
“Uh, mobile phone.” Meng Huaifeng hadn’t expected to awaken something like this either.
“Mobile phone? Never heard of it. Test your Soul Power first.” Steward Liu said.
Without a doubt, another Innate Full Soul Power. Steward Liu’s brow twitched, and her blood pressure rose again.
How great it would be if these were her own children? Why did they have such unreliable parents?
Meng Huaifeng walked out of the room, and Dan Heng went in to awaken his Martial Spirit.
“I originally possess Six Phases Ice, so my Martial Spirit is Six Phases Ice. Star’s chest has a Stellar Core, so her Martial Spirit is the Heart of Destruction. Why is your Martial Spirit a mobile phone?” March 7th tried to figure out the pattern of Martial Spirit Awakening, but it was too difficult for her.
“Maybe because before I traveled, I used my mobile phone for more than thirteen hours on average every day?” Meng Huaifeng touched his chin and guessed.
“That long? Don’t you do proper work?”
“Who says you can’t play games on your mobile phone while doing proper work?”
“Huh?” March 7th was surprised.
“So what’s the difference between your mobile phone and an ordinary mobile phone?” Star asked curiously.
“First, it’s equivalent to a real mobile phone and compatible with any network and system. That means in the future, I won’t need a physical mobile phone to surf any network or download software freely, and I won’t have to worry about the phone running out of battery, getting damaged, or lost. If we travel to other technology worlds later, your mobile phones might not work or connect to their networks, but my Mobile Phone Martial Spirit can still be used normally.” Meng Huaifeng held up one finger.
“Second, as a Martial Spirit, it’s connected to my mind. With a single thought, it can react accordingly, thousands of times more convenient than operating it with hands!”
“Wow! Then using it to play games would give you a huge advantage.” Star drooled enviously.
“Exactly! It’s practically like I’ve traveled into a game! No hands needed, all by mind.” Meng Huaifeng said proudly.
“I protest, this is equivalent to cheating!” March 7th said disdainfully.
“This is my own ability, why call it cheating?” Meng Huaifeng scoffed.
“Anyway, I won’t play games with you in the future.” March 7th said.
“Bro will carry you to victory.”
“Deal, it’s a promise!”
“Anything else? Any other special features?” March 7th continued asking.
“Yes, my Mobile Phone Martial Spirit can add a mark to other mobile phones. Mobile phones with the mark can connect via network, electromagnetic waves, light signals, ultraviolet rays, even Imaginary Energy, Destiny, and various other means. In other words, no more worrying about no signal or being unable to contact others!” Meng Huaifeng said.
When the Train Crew went to Luofu Xianzhou, Silver Wolf had once cut off their signal, making them unable to contact each other. Now with his own Mobile Phone Martial Spirit, wanting to cut off the signal again would be a pipe dream!
“Quick, add one to my mobile phone.”
“Me too!”
