Yue Pengfei continued, "Only when a Professional condenses the Invisible Core, breaks through their limits, and advances to the Black Iron Tier can they manipulate the Heaven and Earth Energy using highly refined Spiritual Power or physical strength. At that time, their original Spiritual Power or physical strength will evolve into Mana or Battle Qi, and they will become a true Professional."

After listening to Yue Pengfei's explanation, a look of sudden realization appeared on Yue Lingyun's face. He asked, "Cousin, are you saying that Fang Zhou can already manipulate external energy? Doesn't that mean he already possesses Mana?"

Yue Pengfei shook his head and patiently explained, "Manipulating external energy is indeed a significant sign of possessing Mana. However, during the decades of the Era of Myth, records from the Human Alliance show that some exceptionally talented Professionals can manipulate a portion of external Attribute Energy even if their Spiritual Power hasn't completely transformed into Mana. Therefore, we can say that Fang Zhou is a monstrous genius, one in ten thousand, but he has not yet reached the level of possessing Mana."

As Yue Pengfei finished speaking, Yue Lingyun fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhou was too occupied to pay attention to the whispering between the Yue brothers. He was entirely focused on manipulating the Undead Attribute Energy. However, no matter how he tried to get the Undead Attribute Energy to resonate with the black Magic Bottle, the bottle stubbornly refused any interaction with external energy.

Suddenly, a Spiritual Light flashed through his mind. He remembered the new Skill he had comprehended when purifying the core of the Desecration Torch—[Soul Realm]. Through it, he could perceive subtle changes in soul fluctuations within a certain range around him.

Perhaps it could be useful now.

As he activated [Soul Realm], Fang Zhou began to meticulously search for the black Magic Bottle. Everything around him, including the ardent soul-glow of Yue Lingyun and Yue Pengfei, was temporarily tuned out from his Perception. His mind was fully immersed in the mysteries of the black Magic Bottle.

Yue Pengfei had been sitting to the side, holding his breath and observing Fang Zhou's every move. When Fang Zhou activated the [Soul Realm] Skill, the spectral blue glow shining from his pupils seemed to light up the entire dormitory, causing Yue Pengfei to gasp.

Even though he, a Lower Rank Black Iron Knight, was far stronger than Fang Zhou, a Middle Rank Apprentice, he had the unnerving feeling of being seen through completely, which sent a shiver down his spine.

Yue Pengfei couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Lingyun, what Skill is Fang Zhou using now?"

Yue Lingyun also replied in a low voice, "Cousin, that Skill is called [Soul Realm]. It's a reconnaissance-type Skill that Fang Zhou comprehended while hunting in Cave No. 1. I'm not sure about its specific effects, but he's been practicing it in the Skill Training Ground this whole time. He must value it greatly!"

Yue Pengfei nodded grimly and continued to watch the interaction between Fang Zhou and the black Magic Bottle.

At this moment, Fang Zhou had placed the black Magic Bottle quietly on the table. Under the scrutiny of [Soul Realm], the patterns on its surface, which had originally seemed ordinary, began to reveal an unusual side. He quickly adjusted his Spiritual Power, tuning its frequency to match the patterns on the black Magic Bottle. As the frequency of his Spiritual Power changed, the Undead Attribute Energy in his hand began to take on an unprecedented form.

He did not hesitate. His Spiritual Power, like a key, gently touched the opening doorway.
