46: Chapter Forty-Three: Devouring 46: Chapter Forty-Three: Devouring As Xu Yuan immersed his mind, the state of his will-spirit once again emerged between his consciousness.
Those floating particles had already covered every corner of the will-spirit’s surface, dense and layered, surging like waves of harvested wheat.
This secret technique, paired with the Blood Essence Heart Destruction Decision, also had a simple way of dealing with enemies.
Although much had been said, it all boiled down to two points.
Transform the refined will-spirit into a blade, sever the enemy’s detected will-spirit, and then use a special secret technique to absorb and refine it.
The former was difficult, unless one possessed a genius of extraordinary comprehension, it was not possible to learn it instantly.
However, the current situation did not require Xu Yuan to use the former technique, as those floating particles seemed to have already crushed themselves and delivered them to Xu Yuan’s mouth for the sake of concealment.
What he needed to do now was to use these floating particles to practice.
Xu Yuan cautiously controlled his will-spirit to try to run the secret technique.
With the Innate Soul Body’s sensitive and precise control over the will-spirit, once activated, a few floating particles quietly disappeared amidst the “waves of wheat,” carefully enveloped by Xu Yuan and began to be refined and absorbed following the secret technique’s pathway.
While absorbing, Xu Yuan observed the movements of the floating particles on the surface of his will-spirit.
The few particles seemed to not have alerted the woman beside him, as the rhythmic undulation of the wheat on the surface of the will-spirit remained unchanged.
After the absorption was complete, these few floating particles transformed into a strand of almost undetectable pure will-spirit and entered Xu Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness, adding a bit of strength to the “defensive line” on the surface of his will-spirit.
After several repetitions, Xu Yuan became more familiar with the secret technique.
He roughly estimated the speed at which those floating particles eroded the surface of his will-spirit,
If he were to openly devour these floating particles, Su Jinxuan would have no way of dealing with his refined Innate Soul Body; however, Xu Yuan chose not to startle her.
Because the upper limit of Su Jinxuan’s power was still an unknown.
Currently, Su Jinxuan indeed had no way of countering him, but Xu Yuan could not be certain whether Su Jinxuan possessed a means of mutual destruction.
If Su Jinxuan controlled these floating particles to self-detonate…
Reining in his thoughts, the lesson of overconfidence was still fresh in his mind; it was better to remain cautious and subtle.
In each stealthy theft, Xu Yuan continually tested Su Jinxuan’s perceptual abilities.
A few, a dozen, several dozen, over a hundred—until Xu Yuan absorbed over a thousand floating particles in one go, and those attached to his will-spirit’s surface began to stir.
After roughly guessing the limitation, Xu Yuan no longer became greedy.
He evenly selected seven to eight hundred lucky particles from the surface of his will-spirit to devour and absorb each time.
And as time went by, in this cycle of repetition…
Su Jinxuan seemed to truly not be able to stay too far away from him; for several consecutive days, she controlled his body with the floating particles and made him stay in her room.
Whether going to the toilet or washing up, Su Jinxuan never left a ten-meter radius from him.
As time passed, the number of floating particles Xu Yuan devoured kept accumulating, and Su Jinxuan’s complexion gradually turned from alluringly rosy to pale.
Just as Xu Yuan was about to select a few hundred lucky ones for breakfast, Su Jinxuan’s plaintive voice softly reached him from beside:
“Third Young Master, what..
did you do to Jin Xuan last night?”
