1003 Scar 3 (1/2)

Dyon inwardly sighed, but continued to follow the two sisters. It was no wonder they questioned if his voice was real considering they were also changing theirs so completely as well.

It didn't take long for Dyon to understand that they hid their true personalities for a reason. What that reason was? He didn't know. It could be anything from it being easier to utilize their bewitching technique to simply hiding from the reality of their lives.

'Old Lizard, you saw, right?'

'I did. But, I've never seen such a condition. Whether it be my true body or all the bodies I've taken over since, none of them know anything about the scars on their bodies.'

'It seems… Almost alive. Like something is eating them from the inside out… In all likelihood, they've been dealing with this for a long time, yet whatever it is that's eating them hasn't finished its job yet. They also seem to be in constant pain, but it isn't to the point where they can't function normally… Do you think this is the work of The Cathedral again?'

The Cathedral had done many horrible things, Dyon didn't put it past them to experiment on children. These two sisters couldn't have been more than 20 years old. Their cultivation also seemed to be hidden for one reason or another too…

'It's also possible that they simply have special constitutions.'

'If they had special constitutions, wouldn't they have been taken to Soul Market by now? Although not every constitution has high soul talent, high ranking constitutions definitely provide just enough soul talent to be viable for use for that Mystic technique.'

Constitutions provided a boost to all forms of talent. Depending on the ranking of your own, this boost could be small or large. Of course, peak level soul talents were incredibly rare, but the requirements for Soul Market weren't so high.

In reality, the restriction on the soul talent was only in place so that the soul would be robust enough to survive the transfer from one person to another.

For example, Dyon's soul talent was so amazing that even after burning his soul, he survived for hours before his soul was eventually sealed away by his cultivation technique. This allowed him to effectively survive something he had no business surviving, until he finally met Amphorae who completely healed his soul.

This logic was the very for the Mystic ranked technique. It was impossible to use effectively unless the victim in question had a strong enough soul.

All of this was to say that although the requirements were strict, it wasn't so strict that those with constitutions not specializing in the soul couldn't meet them.
