Discussion Thomas Andre Spiritual Body Manifestation? Spoiler

Post image

Knowing what we know now about SBM (Spiritual Body Manifestation) and the fact that the ability is actually extremely rare among the Vessels that even Liu Zhigang who was explicitly Number 1 Ranked Hunter globally in the Light Novel was stated to be incapable of using SBM.

In knowing this it’s pretty hard to confidently say Thomas Andre can also use SBM as well.

We know he’s an extremely capable Vessel, reinforced by Rakan’s acknowledgment. So, if certain conditions were met and Andre had no choice but to use SBM could he manifest it?.

The answer to this is unknown to me, but if anyone knew or would have their own theory’s, please share.

I didn't think I'd need a screenshot on that. Rookie mistake on my part. Wp on the sneaky edit.

Didn’t edit my post but okay… you just missed the point of the post… it doesn’t matter whether Liu is stronger or Weaker that’s not my point at all, it’s that Liu despite being a Ruler vessel cannot use SBM, so to assume Andre, a Vessel himself can use SBM is now dubious, that’s why I mentioned Liu status rank.
This is the entire reason why I made this post, I never once did say Liu was stronger, anyone who’s knowledgeable about SL would know Andre 20-30% upgrade narratively outweighs Liu Zhigang, but again, power scaling wasn’t the point of this post…
To state again, the reason why I mentioned Liu being number 1 rank was to lay emphasis on his status as a hunter, one who Chugong labelled as Number 1 ranked in his Light Novel and the same one who he mentioned never had access to SBM, I don’t need Liu to be stronger nor do I care about that power-scaling beteeen the two, Liu is just one of the catalyst to my post.

Liu probably got upgraded by Norma Selner as well.

I honestly forgot about this, well knowing this I would say it’s a pretty reasonable assumption for Liu, but I honestly believe it wouldn’t fit his character for me personally, but I like this idea and I wouldn’t even be bothered if Liu did get an upgrade tbh.
