Chapter 729 - 460: All Under Heaven Belongs to the King (Part 2)
After arranging the marlin and anglerfish near the extraterrestrial crystal cluster vein, Wang Ye sought out the megalodon, preparing to continue his serious work.
Conducting the soul transplant experiment.
Wang Ye casually caught a shark in the nearby waters and forcibly crushed its Three Souls, leaving only the Seven Spirits within its body.
Immediately after, he extracted the soul of the megalodon and placed it into the body of this shark.
Wang Ye watched the shark’s reaction nervously.
If the megalodon can successfully control the shark’s body, even if only for a short minute, it would prove that the theories of soul transplant and possession are feasible.
But if it fails, it would indicate that his Phoenix Plan might be indefinitely postponed, and the megalodon would also die in this experiment.
So this experiment was crucial for Wang Ye, extremely crucial.
As the shark’s body was invaded, the muscles began to twitch at high frequency.
The eyes started to roll white, appearing extraordinarily painful.
Just like the performance of the squirrel in the lab earlier.
Wang Ye’s heart sank, just as he was about to end the experiment.
But suddenly.
The shark’s body calmed down.
Its gaze regained clarity.
Wang Ye could sense through his Primordial Spirit that the soul of the megalodon had stabilized within the shark’s body and could normally control its body activities.
"It worked!"
He couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with joy.
Sure enough, soul transplant and the Phoenix Plan can be realized!
At this moment Wang Ye also realized that the twitching of the shark’s body earlier was just the megalodon adapting to the body’s intensity.
It’s like those in Chinese Shamanism and Divination Child, often appearing very frenzied after the Divine Being possesses them.
It’s actually the process of the possessor adapting to the body,
Although the possessor is very strong, they always feel uncomfortable when arriving in a strange body for the first time,
This discomfort is very intense, not just the change in power, but many detailed changes, such as toxins accumulated in a mortal’s body, hidden injuries in the organs, blurred Five Senses, etc., all make the possessor feel extremely uncomfortable, requiring seemingly frenzied large-scale movements to quickly adapt to the body.
Once he figured out the ins and outs, Wang Ye wasn’t in a hurry to let the megalodon’s soul return to its body,
Instead, he continued to let it stay inside the shark, observing how long it could possess.
After the shark adapted to the body, it kept swimming around in the surrounding waters. Since its body was already mastered by the megalodon, the explosive strength and endurance were much stronger than before, because the megalodon’s soul strength was very high, able to stimulate the potential more thoroughly.
Many athletes or fitness enthusiasts have experienced a situation like this,
that is, after stopping training for a long period,
the volume and strength of muscles noticeably weaken,
when they resume training, they surprisingly find that their strength level and performance level haven’t dropped too much,
although the muscle form and strength have deteriorated to be almost like an ordinary person, the athletic ability is still far superior to the average person.
For example, a trainer in peak condition can squat 200 kilograms, and after years of stopping training, they can still squat over 100 kilograms when retraining, while an ordinary person who has never trained can at most squat 50 to 70 kilograms. Of course, there might be reasons like exertion technique, but mainly the potential of the muscles was more thoroughly mobilized, leading to the retrainer being able to display strength levels equivalent to an athlete with a body like that of an ordinary person.
This is actually the difference between the soul’s strength being higher than the body’s strength. In the current sports science field, it’s usually called neural recruitment ability. Many small-weight athletes and Martial Arts trainers specifically train this neural recruitment ability, what’s referred to in the Martial Arts circle as tendon and bone strength also essentially is neural recruitment ability. The so-called neurological recruitment, in essence, is a capability of the soul.
But these retrainers, after the first retraining, often feel intense muscle soreness, even directly bedridden, having a high fever, and showing multiple adverse reactions. Because his muscle potential has been used to the extreme. Muscles that under normal conditions can only support 50 to 70 kilograms, forcibly squeezed to support 100 kilograms, can this not lead to illness?
Even if the training intensity is deliberately lightened, it will bear more severe soreness than ordinary people’s training. Therefore, often those coaches when guiding retraining will advise to go step by step, reduce intensity, or else it will backfire. But if it’s a never-trained ordinary person, when improving step by step, intensity can’t be lowered, but instead requires strenuous training to raise the strength of soul and body together, this is the progressive overload training principle.
Apart from the ability to instantly ignite potential, the progress speed of retrainers is generally very fast,
strictly speaking should be the speed of returning to peak.
When the soul strength far exceeds the body’s strength, as long as slight training occurs, the body’s strength will increase rapidly until it returns to the peak state.
In other words, even if Wang Ye takes over a body with very poor strength, he can still unleash considerable combat power and can quickly return to the peak.
Several minutes passed, the shark’s swimming speed became slower and slower, and its muscles gradually stiffened, obviously the body’s potential was about to be drained.
The body’s depletion also stimulated the megalodon’s soul equally, now it can be visibly seen that the megalodon’s soul is gradually unable to hold on, if not returned to its body, it might directly scatter.
Wang Ye calculated the time, it should be ten minutes since the megalodon possessed the shark.
This result had already made him very satisfied.
Immediately he drove his Primordial Spirit to directly extract the megalodon’s soul, pushing it back into its original body.
Back in the familiar body, its soul state gradually stabilized.
Wang Ye looked at the weak megalodon in front of him, muttering to himself: "Since the megalodon’s soul strength can sustain its possession of the shark for ten minutes, it means my possession of humans should also support a few minutes."
The Spiritual Power between sharks and humans differs by about five times, and now the Spiritual Power between the megalodon and Wang Ye also differs by about five times.
So it can roughly draw a fuzzy value.
However, the real result still needs to be known through practice.
Additionally, Wang Ye has another unique discovery, when the megalodon possessed the shark for ten minutes and returned to its body, its Primordial Spirit strength and soul strength unexpectedly improved slightly.
Wang Ye calculated it, the megalodon’s improvement should be equivalent to the gains from a day’s practice of the Samadhi True Fire. This discovery made him bright-eyed, it turns out possession can also strengthen the soul! No wonder those Divine Beings that are worshiped by Chinese Shamanism and Divination Child willingly possess mortal beings, allowing mortals to manipulate them, it turns out what these Divine Beings seek isn’t just incense but also soul strength.
In other words, as long as he keeps possessing others, his soul strength will increase rapidly, thus prolonging the duration of possession,
a truly virtuous cycle.
Once the megalodon’s state stabilized, Wang Ye promptly returned domestically. If his speculation is correct, then he can also become the so-called Divine Being, improving soul strength by possessing mortal bodies to continuously extend his possession time.
However, although he is currently referred to as the God of the Human World, in actuality very few people truly regard him as a god, nor would anyone specially worship him to allow him to possess them. Therefore initially Wang Ye can only forcibly possess some ordinary bodies, to let them taste the benefits and bring in more audiences.
