Chapter 66: Out of Her Mind
Translator: 549690339
This beak monster not only devoured wandering souls, but it even managed to reach some form of enslavement.
By tormenting ordinary wandering souls, they were being promoted towards becoming ‘evil spirits’!
If he was successful, it would certainly bring about dreadful consequences!
“Get—away from me!
Su Lu roared and activated his spirit oppression.
Boom!
For a soul body, this was the bane of existence.
A large number of greedy wandering souls disbanded, the illusion shattered, allowing Su Lu to recover from the confusion induced by the sonic attack.
At this time, the beak monster in front of him was taken aback, a beat slower in its reaction.
“Its movements are somewhat mechanical… Could it be… a backlash from the casting?”
A flash of coldness flickered in Su Lu’s eyes as he immediately activated the [Power of the Tiger]!
A wave of heat spread throughout his body, causing his strength to surge to an ‘extraordinary’ level.
Normal low-rank transcendent beings would certainly have a weak point. For example, those proficient in the spirit would not be overly strong physically, with [Spirit Mediums] being the best example.
But Su Lu was different!
With his Maga fighting skills at level 5, along with the outburst of auxiliary power, his current strength was comparable to an ordinary [Soldier]!
Bang!
With a forceful thrust of his foot, a small pit appeared on the ground.
Using this force, Su Lu rapidly approached the beak monster. Inspired, he called out, “Spirit Thorn!”
In the instant the beak monster covered its head to roar, his eyes were cold and ruthless, and his dagger mercilessly swiped across the monster’s neck. This time, he exerted all his strength, severing more than half of its neck with the dagger.
Splash! Splash!
The monster fell to the ground. There was no blood from the wound, but a faint trace of spirit seeped out from the body.
[XP+50]
A substantial amount of experience points appeared in the attribute bar.
Meanwhile, Su Lu sensed a surge of anger coming from the spirit world, “Damn you, how dare you…”
The opponent didn’t seem very strong. Having lost the beak monster as a host, it became very weak and directly fled the spirit world.
“I will return!”
In the spirit world, the opponent’s final declaration of anger was heard.
“It seems… the beak monster was just a made-to-order servant? Specifically for collecting spirit bodies?”
Su Lu pursed his lips, “Is there a true master behind it? A profession that needs spirit bodies?”
Regarding this, he didn’t know much and was completely at a loss.
“However…”
He stared at the body of the beak monster, and the steadily dispersing spirits, “These spirits have all been restrained and tortured to the brink of madness… they cannot return to normal!”
“If they’re sent into the spirit world, they may transform into evil spirits.
Destroying them now would be the best choice!”
Su Lu sighed, “I’m sorry!”
He lifted the dagger, and the Spirit Thorn was released.
Swoosh!
A crazed, contorting wandering soul was hit and completely dispersed.
[XP+IO]
An endless stream of spirits escaped from the monster’s body, their number shocking to Su Lu.
This strange monster seemed to be a container for spirits itself. Cοnt?nu? r?ad?ng οn th? οr?g?nal N ?wNοv?l.οr? fοr fr??
The later the spirits came out, the more frenzied their state became. However, none of the evil spirits reached the second order, perhaps because they were taken away once they did.
Su Lu was frantically busy, purifying each spirit one by one.
As time passed, he found that the body of the beak monster was quickly turning into foam, constantly melting and dissolving.
In the end, all that was left in the original place was a black cloak and a firm beak.
“This seems to be some kind of extraordinary material, but I don’t know how to use it!”
Su Lu carefully stored the beak and left the cemetery.
Some extraordinary materials can be used to create drugs with bizarre effects, enhancing the Transcendent’s constitution.
A part of them can even be turned into marvelous items.
Rod only knows how to use demon materials. These beak materials clearly belonged to the spirit materials, and had nothing to do with him.
After quickly doing all of this, Su Lu found a bar and mingled in the crowded dance floor. When he came out, he had changed his clothes, as if he had become another person.
At this point, he used his inspiration to check for any followers. Finding none, he returned to his lodging.
“The manipulator… didn’t attack me, does this mean he isn’t strong? Can he only control from behind the scenes? But I think the most likely reason is a lack of time!”
Su Lu began to think rapidly: “Or… is the distance too great? Or is he tied down because of some important matter?”
Today, even though he had killed a beak monster, he had offended someone, but he didn’t regret it.
Opening his attribute panel, the number 230 in his experience pool made him smile.
Such bountiful experience, even if he worked ten times with Rod, he might not be able to earn it.
As expected, working alone brought the most rewards, although… he also had to take corresponding risks!
“However, although it’s a risk for me now, after I increase my strength, maybe it will be nothing.”
Su Lu stared at his attribute panel: “Upgrade Soul Trance!”
This skill, Soul Trance, was actually the main role of a [Spirit Medium].
It could let the [Spirit Medium] travel through the Spirit World as a spiritual body, fight against other spirits, and even communicate with the dead to get answers to some questions.
However, it was also very dangerous!
Bodies without spirit control were just the type of shells that many evil spirits loved!
If one’s spiritual body got lost in the Spirit World for a long time, the shell would slowly die!
Therefore, Su Lu didn’t like this skill very much, and he usually only used Spirit Oppression and Spirit Thorn, and found the results satisfying.
This made him deeply understand that there are no useless abilities in the world, only useless people!
Of course, this was said from a privileged position.
However, now that his experience pool was quite full, Su Lu had to consider the issue of upgrading the Soul Trance level.
After all, future [Mystical Scholars] might have requirements in this regard. Anyway, he should always try.
[150 experience points consumed… Soul Trance level increased to LV2!]
[Soul Trance LV2: Spiritual Body affinity increases, Spirit World perception increases, Spirit +0.2!]
Accompanied by changes in the attribute panel, Su Lu suddenly felt a stream of clarity flowing in his mind.
Not only the experience consumed by this skill, but also the improvement of spirit, all surprised Su Lu.
“Upgrading the Soul Trance skill directly increases attributes? And it’s Spirit, the most important for [Spirit Mediums]! Great!”
“And, it’s not as painful as the baptism last time. Is it because my spirit foundation has deepened, or the upgrade scale was small?” These 150 experience points were well spent.
After all, with the increase of spirit, the power of all skills would correspondingly increase.
Not to mention the increase in Spirit Body Affinity and Spirit World perception.
“But this increase seems very subtle, even the attribute panel doesn’t show it numerically… Is it because the increase was too small? For instance, only increasing by 0.001?”
Su Lu couldn’t help speculating.
At the same time, he was certain that this Soul Trance ability would have to be prioritized in the future. This was the basis of the [Spirit Medium]..
