In the training ground, thirty metal poles stand on it, forming a circular array with a diameter of three meters and divided into two layers: inner and outer.

Yu Tianheng, who was already possessed by a martial spirit, stood in the middle of the magic circle. The dense metal poles made it difficult to see his figure. Just listen to him take a long breath and say in a dull voice: "I'm ready."

Lanta, who was standing far away, nodded, put the flaming soul guide in his hand close to an incense stick stuck on the ground, and shouted loudly: "The control test begins now."

"Thunder comes!"

After the words fell, Yu Tianheng's fourth soul skill, Lei Lin, was released while the incense was lit. Thousands of thunder snakes shot out from the dragon scales, but before they were about to hit the metal pole, they were forcibly controlled by Yu Tianheng and returned to him.

The two people in the distance were very focused. Only Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing farther away, noticed Gu You's sudden appearance. She looked a little surprised and asked, "Have Rongrong and the others completed the test?"

"Yes." Gu You nodded slightly, staring intently at the lightning that burst out from time to time in the magic circle, "They only need to test the most basic data, and it won't take much time."

"What about your side?"

Zhu Zhuqing walked to Gu You quietly. Looking at his side face, he replied: "I just completed the basic data test of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Dragon Soul. What I am testing now is the effect of the fourth soul skill."

"The fourth soul skill."

Recalling the move "Thunder Dragon Claw", Gu You must admit that the martial spirit of Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus can last until 30,000 years later, and there is also a descendant nicknamed "Thunder God", which may not be the author's big name. The will of the universe is at work, but this martial soul really has this strength.

The only T0-level martial spirit that can surpass version updates and get stronger with each fight, its gold content is really high.

Perhaps it should be better to say dragon content?

"Dragon, whether as a spirit beast or as a martial spirit, is really a monster."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Gu You next to him with a puzzled expression, only to hear him sigh: "The control of soul power is almost zero, but he can control thunder and lightning as naturally as breathing. Is this the answer to the Douluo Continent version, the power of dragon blood? .”

The metal pole surrounding Yu Tianheng was a special lightning rod made by Tang San after Gu You obtained the thunder attribute of his third soul skill and made it out of a rare metal after many attempts.

Because of this, Tang San suspected that Gu You's head was damaged by a heavy punch in the battle with the Golden Lion.

Tang San had never heard of a lightning rod, but when Gu You mentioned its function, Tang San remembered the things called "Owl Tail" and "Thunder Pillar" in the buildings of his previous life, and he understood why Gu You asked him to build them. This is a "lightning rod".

At the beginning, Gu You mainly wanted to see if the lightning in Douluo Continent and the lightning in the previous life were the same thing, and whether they obeyed the physical laws of the previous life as some fan fiction said.

Guyou had this idea for a long time, but because he didn't know a soul master with the thunder attribute, he had to give it up in the end. Otherwise, during the fight, a strange metal object is thrown from the opposite side, attracting all the thunder and lightning it emits, and the person will be paralyzed.

After many tests under different circumstances, Guyou finally determined that the lightning rod is useful, but not completely useful. It's somewhat useful, but not much.

The lightning rod principle I learned in my previous life is: when the charge in the thunder cloud accumulates to a certain extent, a discharge phenomenon will occur. During this process, charges are discharged to the ground, forming lightning currents.

If a lightning rod exists, it can sense the charge of the lightning cloud and discharge it in advance, introducing the charge into the ground to avoid being struck by lightning by surrounding objects.

After testing, even in Douluo Continent, the lightning released by thunderclouds when it rains does comply with basic physical principles and will strike conspicuous lightning rods in open areas.

But the thunder and lightning released through the martial spirit is not like this.

The thunder and lightning generated by the martial soul are exactly the same as the thunder and lightning in nature, both in shape and power, including the way it causes damage, but its essence is also composed of soul power.

The attack target is determined by the spiritual will of the soul master, rather than by uncontrolled electric charges.

This discovery made Gu You breathe a sigh of relief. At least the third soul skill he chose would not become useless because of some lightning rod, and he did not have to worry about a time-traveler popping up from nowhere, wearing a Faraday cage and becoming aggressive. Come up and show your face.

But as the test progressed, by chance, Gu You discovered that the metal rod that was originally unable to attract thunder and lightning formed by soul power began to have a slight attraction to the thunder and lightning he emitted.

This attraction is almost non-existent, but it turns Guyou's discovery into useless paper.

After studying for a long time, referring to the flame produced by Xiao Wu's third soul skill, and with the help of Meng Yiran, Gu You further improved the previous imperfect research results.

Thunder and lightning dissipate quickly, so Gu You cannot conduct further research by observing lightning. But Xiao Wu's flame is something that can be seen simply and intuitively.

By observing the flames emitted by Xiao Wu, Gu You determined that the thunder and lightning or flames produced by Wuhun were indeed composed of soul power, but they were also real lightning and flames.

The two statements that seem to conflict are actually not conflicting.

At the beginning, the flames that Xiao Wu emitted were 100% soul power, and Meng could still easily eliminate them with elimination. But if you use combustible materials to retain the flame, and continuously add firewood to maintain burning. At a certain moment, Meng Yiran's elimination suddenly became ineffective against the flames.

It was clearly Xiao Wu's soul skill that created the flames, but it could not be erased. Although it is incredible, this phenomenon can only prove that as time goes by, the flame gradually loses its soul power while burning, and turns into a ball of flame that is the same as the flame ignited by flint.

Extrapolating the phenomenon from the conclusion, Gu You believed that the lightning he emitted dissipated into invisible charges in the air, and the charges escaped control and were attracted to the metal rod, resulting in a phenomenon similar to that before a lightning strike in nature.

Although the newly emitted thunder and lightning are all composed of soul power, they will not be attracted by ordinary electric charges. However, those charges transformed from the thunder and lightning emitted by oneself may still retain a small amount of soul power characteristics to a certain extent, so there is attraction.

This research discovery may be called "the starting point of the tragic life of a thunder attribute soul master" in a future scholar's topic. But now Gu You, using this theory, has come up with a good way to train lightning control.

Although the thunder and lightning emitted by the martial soul are composed of soul power, controlling the soul power and controlling the thunder and lightning transformed by the soul power are completely different things.

By using the most conductive metal, the dissipated charge is absorbed by the metal. As long as there are enough metal rods and enough charges, the attraction to lightning can be increased, thus achieving the effect of exercising lightning control.

Gu You's thunder attribute moves were only completed after he had exercised his control.

Looking at Yu Tianheng, who was surrounded by danger but no lightning was actually caught by the metal pole, Gu You couldn't hide his envy in his voice: "These metal poles will become more and more attractive to lightning as time goes by. I am the first This time I only lasted a third of the time of the incense stick, and the lightning struck the metal pole."

"But now..." Gu You glanced at the burning situation of the incense beside Lanta, "Has already held on to half a stick of incense. What a powerful control."

"Control...?" Zhu Zhuqing asked Gu You beside him with some thoughts in his eyes: "Compared with powerful power, do you care more about control?"

Although the contact time was not long, apart from the original soul hunting, it was only in the Tiandou Royal Academy for half a year. Most of them were taken up by Gu You's training with Senior Poison Douluo and vacations.

But in this short contact, Zhu Zhuqing has discovered that Gu You has a deep obsession with "control". The current tree-climbing training is just another example of this finding.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't understand why a person whose strength far exceeded that of Yu Tianheng would envy Yu Tianheng who was not as powerful as him.

Why are you so obsessed with control?

"Care about control?" Gu You thought for a moment, "This statement is only half true."

"Control is very important. From the moment life is born, control follows. It is like an inescapable shadow that accompanies life until the moment death comes."

"Just like a child can never decide what supper will be for tomorrow, just like an old man can never decide whether he will open his eyes again tomorrow morning."

"When faced with the engagement arranged by Emperor Xingluo, could you control yourself from saying the word "no" back then?"

Gu You's words sent Zhu Zhuqing back to the distant past.

That day, she was sent to the Star Luo Palace together with other sisters in the family. On that day, she inexplicably got a fiancé she had never met.

Gu You did not expect Zhu Zhuqing's answer, "Obviously not. At that time, you were under the control of the Zhu family and the Dai family. This control made it impossible for you to say "no"."

"Like I said, control is like a shadow. Maybe you can't see it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"It's just that it's in the hands of something else."

"Maybe someone else."

"Maybe, God."

Gu You's face was a little gloomy, but he quickly returned to normal and continued: "Since everything is going to be controlled, why don't I do it myself."

"By investigating in advance when hunting soul beasts, I can control the soul rings and soul skills I obtain. Instead of leaving it to fate, I will absorb the soul rings of whatever soul beasts I encounter."

"By testing the effects of soul skills, I can control how I will perform in battle. Instead of misjudging the effects of soul skills, I will not be defeated in the end."

"No matter what the outcome of my choice is, it is all caused by my decision. Even if the final outcome is not what I thought, I can accept it without regrets."

"I see," Zhu Zhuqing muttered: "You don't care about power, nor do you care about control. You only care about being able to control your own destiny."

"That's right." Gu You nodded, "Power is not important, it is just a necessity to achieve the goal. Control is not important, it is just the only way to achieve the goal."

"I just want to control myself and make sure every decision I make in life is an extension of my will."

"Isn't it the same for you? At that moment, you chose to believe me and wanted to control your own life."

He turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, who happened to also look over.

The lightning exploded between the two of them. As their eyes met, Zhu Zhuqing raised his index finger and tapped the corner of his mouth. His lips moved slightly and said, "It's hard to say."

"After all, I am just a weak, pitiful and helpless second lady of the Zhu family. Facing Master Gu You's control, I have no ability to resist."

"."

"what are you saying?"

The corners of Zhu Zhuqing's mouth rose, "You have never hidden it, Master Gu You, you just didn't admit it."

The electric light in the distance was still exploding, and the blue light shone on her face. She stood in the light and smiled, and the thunder could not stop her voice: "It doesn't matter whether it's in a dark place or in this college. Okay. Everything you do shows that you are the ancient traveling master."

"You didn't tell anyone that you were not the Ancient Master. Just because of your age, no one would equate you with that Ancient Master."

Gu You still wanted to struggle one last time, and when he opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak, he happened to notice the light deep in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

Although the light was weak and dim, it was not swallowed up by the darkness. As long as you take good care of it, sooner or later it will thrive enough to illuminate everything.

In the end, Guyou had no excuses. He could only smile bitterly and said: "I thought you would know that I am that Gu You only after I personally admit it."

"Don't you deny it?"

"No, it's not a shame." After clearing up his mood, Gu You smiled freely, "A true man, I can't change my name, but I can't change my surname. I haven't published articles under a pseudonym because I firmly believe that what I do is not Something shady."

"But you're not angry?"

Gu You was a little surprised. What he did at the beginning was actually quite obvious, it was an aboveboard conspiracy. I believe Zhu Zhuqing also noticed it.

But her expression didn't look like she was angry or dissatisfied at all. Instead, there was a light joy.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. In her opinion, it didn't matter whether she was controlled or not.

Perhaps that conversation by the campfire did guide Gu You to make the choice he was looking forward to more.

But it was Zhu Zhuqing who made the choice. All Guyou can do is put the choices on the table, one closer and the other slightly further.

Zhu Zhuqing chuckled, "So, Master Guyou, are you willing to conduct a martial arts test for the second young lady of the Zhu family who is controlled by you?"

"Are you sure you want to fight?" Gu You was doing stretching exercises, looking at Zhu Zhuqing who was also stretching not far away, and confirmed again.

Gu You did not bother Lanta, but left a note and took Zhu Zhuqing back to the training ground where he had just helped Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling test.

Seeing that the two people were still paralyzed on the side, they were moved to the side of the tree and gave them a bottle of recovery medicine.

After the transfer, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly said: "Let's have a fight." The reason was also very good, and he said: actual combat is the best teacher.

He just blocked what Gu You wanted to say in his mouth.

"What, are you scared?"
