“Rod!”
Su Lu ran over, quickly confirming that this was indeed Rod.
At the same time, looking at the attribute bar, his inspiration had already reduced by 0.3, he sighed inwardly.
This [Spiritual Pressure] was handy indeed, but it consumed a lot.
And it could only disperse this evil spirit for a short time, at most twenty seconds, no, just a dozen seconds, and it would bounce back with vigor!
If it was a third or fourth-tier evil spiritual body, it could perhaps only last for one or two seconds! The consumption would surge to a terrifying degree.
“Su Lu!”
The real Rod stayed still, not wandering around impulsively.
Seeing him come over, his eyes held vigilance, “Say something that proves who you are!”
“The scar on vour stomach is from vour amendectomv!”
Su Lu swiftly responded.
“Good!”
Rod relaxed his guard, but with some reproach, “Why did you come in?”
“If we don’t kill that evil spirit, we won’t be able to leave! Besides… I’m a [Spirit Medium] now, I might be helpful.”
Su Lu replied.
“What? A [Spirit Medium]?” Rod exclaimed in astonishment, ‘What happened?”
“Perhaps, my constitution was naturally suited for the requirements of a [Spirit Medium]. Coupled with the stimulation I received from this evil spirit previously, it allowed me to successfully advance!”
Su Lu spun the lie with a straight face.
Actually, it wasn’t entirely false, because he met the conditions for the job in the first place.
In history, there were indeed some individuals with exceptional aptitude who survived the attack of fierce ghosts by chance without any prior training and stimulated their potential to become [Spirit Mediums].
This was also the original source of the [Spirit Medium] profession!
“Now… let’s go and kill that evil spirit!” Su Lu asked, “How much Holy Water do you have left?”
“Three tubes, I used up one to deal with the evil spirit that transformed into you!” Rod was slightly regretful.
“We have to give it a try! When the evil spirit comes back, I’ll restrict it, and you will direct all the Holy Water and attacks towards it… This is our last chance!”
Su Lu said while panting heavily.
“Okay!”
Rod immediately agreed, alertly watching his surroundings.
Su Lu immediately released his inspiration, letting it spread around.
If you look closely, you would notice that at this moment, his pupils turned a bit black, becoming incredibly deep.
‘So far, the limit of my inspiration is only ten meters? And it’s quite vague, if I want it to be very clear, it’s only within three to four meters around me!’
As a [Spirit Medium], it is virtually impossible to be ambushed by a spiritual body, even a second-tier evil spirit!
However, the ‘Ghost Realm’ that the opponent created doesn’t have a large range, it’s just a building. When you are inside, it seems as if the concept of space is twisted, making it feel infinitely vast.
Su Lu felt like he was a spider, his inspiration was the spider web spreading around, waiting for prey to touch it.
He, like a patient hunter, quietly waited for the prey to bite the hook.
All of a sudden!
A ‘spider silk’ was lightly touched.
In Su Lu’s inspiration, the appearance of the evil spirit was immediately outlined – its limbs twisted, crawling like a beast! Its speed was incredibly fast!
“Your 3 0’clock direction! It’s coming!”
Su Lu let out a bellow and used the [Spirit Thorn] without hesitation!
This skill, for a usual person, feels like being stabbed by spiritual power.
But when used against a spiritual body, it forms a cone, swiftly piercing the spiritual body, anchored in place for a brief period via a spiritual thread.
Thump! Thump!
In the void, an invisible ‘pyramid’ formed and rocketed out, hitting the evil spirit straight on!
The agile figure of the spirit came to an abrupt halt, struggling like a prey caught in a net within the hazy black fog.
Swish!
On the attribute column, the Inspiration value kept plummeting, dropping a whopping 0.6 in an instant!
‘Amazing … followers this rate, I can immobilize this evil spirit for a maximum of three to four seconds?’
Su Lu took a sharp intake of air.
What’s the purpose of a [Spiritual Medium] immobilizing a Spiritual Body if they have no assistants?
“I see it now!”
But at this moment, he was undoubtedly very lucky.
Not only did he have a [Demon Hunter] as a companion, but this companion also trusted him deeply.
As Su Lu let out a roar, Rod had already rushed out and saw the restrained evil spirit.
Upon catching sight of it, Rod didn’t hesitate at all. He threw three test tubes, and the Holy Light Water rained heavily upon the evil spirit.
Sizzle!
A white fog rose!
In the midst of teeth-grinding noises, the body of the evil spirit melted like
wax.
However, Rod did not relax in the slightest. Pulling out a dagger engraved with several runes, he smeared his own blood onto it, and with a loud cry, stabbed it downward furiously!
Shunk!
The sharp dagger immediately penetrated the evil spirit’s head, pinning it to the ground. The evil spirit slowly stopped struggling and vanished into a white light.
The black fog gradually cleared. Only then did Su Lu realize that he and Rod were in the storage room of a house.
The distance between Su Lu and Rod was not far at all, far less than a meter.
But in the strange scene just now, the space of this building seemed to have been stretched.
“Where’s Galan?”
Rod moved to the side of the window, looking at the bright outside lights. He took a deep breath, and finally had the time to clean up the scene and bandage his wounds.
Just as he sat down, he suddenly jumped up and asked aloud.
“I have already killed him using the shotgun!”
Su Lu returned the silver revolver, and added, “It’s quite inconvenient, nowhere near as useful as a revolver!”
“Haha… I know, but the family handed down revolver is just this one!”
Rod carefully wiped the gun, put it back into his suitcase, his eyes becoming dangerous, “By the way… do you feel unwell? Taking the Office of legal professional is dangerous, even if it’s just a first-order…”
“I feel… I’m great! Better than ever before!”
Su Lu spoke the truth.
Using experience level-ups saves the last ‘Spirit Communication Ritual,’ thus avoiding danger.
If an ordinary person wants to advance to a [Spirit Medium], even if they are well-prepared and the summoned spirits meet the requirements, the final contact with the evil spirit, as a normal person, is very risky.
In Rod’s eyes, Su Lu stimulated the breakthrough with a second-order evil spirit!
Thinking of this, his eyes couldn’t help but moisten, “It was all for me! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make it up to you!”
Rod looked in a certain direction, his eyes frosted over.
Little did he know, Su Lu was completely ignoring him, instead analyzing the attribute column.
“Strength? Agility? Constitution? Spirit and Inspiration?”
“According to the transcendent theory ot this world, the highest strength can represent space, agility corresponds to time, combine the two and it’s the concept of the Universe! This requires a very strong physique to bear, so the constitution is also very important!”
“These three are all influenced by reality, but spirit transcends them, the power of thought is infinite, so it can harmonize and control from the center!” Thinking of this, he glanced at Inspiration again.
Despite the discovered downward slide to below 1, he noticed the slow recovery over time and couldn’t help but release a sigh of relief.
Inspiration is a combination of perception and the Mana slot. If it couldn’t recover, he’d likely have to find a dedicated ‘meditation skill..’
