Luo Zhu didn't expect that this fellow would still insist on possessing someone else even after being chased away by Zhang Shi. Luo Zhu's face paled.
"Possession?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Souls were formless. No one would be able to tell where they went after leaving the other party's body.
"That's right. Back then, I was possessed because of a sneeze. That fellow must have entered his body..."
Luo Zhu hurriedly pointed to the fatty.
"Me?"
Naturally, the plump man was Sun Qiang. He had been watching the young master display his prowess and expel the soul when the old man suddenly pointed at him. Stunned, he blinked his eyes and asked innocently, "Have I been possessed?"
Shouldn't possession be a battle of souls? Why didn't he feel anything at all?
"That fellow is extremely cunning. He must have known that he would be expelled by Zhang Shi if he were to forcefully possess your body, so... he entered your body and hid!"
Luo Zhu said.
He had been possessed before, so he knew quite a bit about the means of soul oracles.
"Hid?" Sun Qiang scratched his head.
"That's right. Given the size of a human body, it's impossible to find him once he hides..." Luo Zhu said anxiously.
If one really wanted to hide one's soul, one could hide it anywhere in one's body. No matter how formidable one was, one wouldn't be able to detect it. This way, this fatty was equivalent to carrying a ticking time bomb, and he could be possessed at any moment!
Luo Zhu felt extremely guilty for harming the other party by helping him expel the evil spirit.
"If that's the case, this will be troublesome..."
Master Sai clenched his fists tightly.
Based on the information he read, it was one thing for the possessed soul to forcefully seize control of the body, and it was possible for the possessed soul to be discovered. However, if the soul were to remain hidden and use the other party's energy to nourish itself, it would be troublesome.
That was because if the other party didn't attempt to seize control of the body, it would be as if the other party's illness hadn't acted up yet. If the other party wasn't suffering from any illness, no matter how formidable a physician was, he wouldn't be able to treat the other party!
"Hiding? That fellow sure is gutsy! "
Zhang Xuan harrumphed.
He didn't expect that the other party would dare to possess Sun Qiang even after being expelled. If he had known, he would have destroyed the other party's soul with zhenqi.
However, this wasn't a problem for him. When facing others, even a Seven Star Great Teacher who specialized in soul arts would find it difficult to search for the soul hidden within one's body. However, he was different.
Once the Library of Heaven's Path was activated, any flaws could be found. It was just a soul, so it would be useless no matter how hidden it was.
"Sun Qiang, show me a set of fist techniques!" Zhang Xuan said.
"Yes!"
Sun Qiang nodded. With a flick of his wrist, he punched out.
Seeing his fist technique, Jin Conghai, Master Sai, and the others' mouths twitched.
An Zongshi realm expert was actually using a Low Grade Mortal Martial Technique. His moves were so crude that it was unbearable to watch.
In the League of Nations, even a five-year-old child would be able to perform several sets of this kind of fist technique, but this guy actually used this … Just thinking about it made him drunk.
"I've only been cultivating my cultivation technique recently. I haven't been studying my battle techniques …"
Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Sun Qiang knew what they were thinking, and he felt a little awkward.
During this period of time, his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, but he hadn't practiced any battle techniques at all. What he knew was what he studied in Tianxuan Kingdom.
In the eyes of an expert from the League of Nations, such an unranked kingdom's battle technique couldn't be considered anything at all.
Using a battle technique of this level, coupled with the fact that his cultivation wasn't high, he could knock down countless people with a single finger. To think that they would be intimidated by this fellow in Xuanyuan Kingdom's Poison Temple. Jin Conghai and Gu Mu felt a little awkward.
"Alright!"
Ignoring the expressions of the crowd, Zhang Xuan found the location of the soul through observing the battle technique. Thus, he took out another silver needle and threw it over.
Puhe!
The silver needle entered Sun Qiang's body, and a deafening roar sounded from within.
"H-how did you know that I'm here …"
Following which, an exasperated soul ripple sounded in everyone's ears.
Clearly, the person who possessed Luo Zhu didn't expect to be discovered so easily.
"Get out here, and I can spare your life!"
Zhang Xuan harrumphed as zhenqi gathered around the silver needle.
"Get out? Hmph! Since you want to kill me, then let's perish together! This fellow is only a Zongshi realm cultivator, and I can't devour Luo Zhu. However, I can easily devour him. I can crush his soul in an instant. Even if you kill me, all you'll get is a corpse! "
The frenzied thoughts of the soul echoed in Zhang Xuan's mind.
"Don't harm the innocent …" Luo Zhu hurriedly stepped forward.
Back then, he was in a stalemate with the other party, and he was on the verge of collapsing. Yet, this fellow was only a Zongshi realm cultivator. If he wanted to possess Luo Zhu's body, he could devour his soul cleanly in an instant.
"It's too late for you to beg me now …"
The soul roared furiously, and a powerful aura shrouded Sun Qiang. Then, it headed straight for Sun Qiang's mind, seemingly intending to devour him.
"Since I'm going to die anyway, I'll make a profit by killing one and recoup my losses by killing two. After killing him, I'll devour the others. I'm formless, and you won't be able to catch me. What can you do to me … Haha, ah? The heck! What the hell is this? Ah … Save me … "
The soul roared furiously. Just as it was about to devour Sun Qiang cleanly, a terrified cry suddenly sounded.
Immediately after, everyone felt that the powerful Soul Aura that had been incomparably arrogant a moment ago was like a balloon that had been placed in a pot of oil, instantly bursting.
"This … What's going on?"
Luo Zhu was stunned.
Master Sai and the others also widened their eyes in shock.
They clearly felt the soul's killing intent a moment ago, so why would it suddenly cry out in agony, as though it had seen a ghost?
Could it be that Zhang Shi had done something?
They hurriedly turned their heads to take a look, only to see Zhang Shi bewildered as well, seemingly unable to make sense of what was going on.
They turned to Sun Qiang once more, only to see the latter's eyes widening in shock. With an innocent look on his face, he said, "I really didn't want to kill him …"
Hong long!
But before he could finish his words, he felt the fatty's aura rising rapidly, as though he had eaten a tonic. His cultivation surged from Zongshi realm primary stage.
"This is … the nourishment of a soul oracle causing his cultivation to soar?"
Luo Zhu and Master Sai's vision darkened.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Soul oracles are different from ordinary cultivators. While the latter cultivate their zhenqi and physical body, soul oracles cultivate their soul. Thus, they infuse their entire cultivation into their soul. Even if they were to possess another body, they would be able to recover swiftly and not become weak … "
Luo Zhu's lips turned pale. "Now that his soul has been destroyed, it means that his entire cultivation has been nourished and infused into the other party's body …"
"There's such a thing?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"Indeed. The power of a soul oracle comes from pure soul energy, devoid of any elemental attribute. As long as one is a cultivator, they will be able to accept the power of a soul oracle. Furthermore, there won't be any conflicts between the two powers... If I'm not mistaken, his cultivation will surely surge!"
Luo Zhu looked at Sun Qiang, who was still standing on the spot with a dumbfounded expression, and said with a trembling voice.
What kind of monster did he meet with?
This young man who wasn't even in his twenties was able to expel the soul of a soul oracle with just a silver needle. On top of that, this servant of his was even more incredible. The soul oracle tried to devour him, but the other party ended up devouring him instead …
"H-he … can even devour soul oracles?"
Jin Conghai and Gu Mu, who had underestimated Sun Qiang due to his low tier battle technique, paled in fright.
Soul oracles were one of the most fearsome occupations in the ancient era, an existence that was even more fearsome than poison masters. Any expert who encountered them would pale in fright … Yet, this fellow actually devoured him innocently …
Did he have to be so monstrous?
It was no wonder why he was so arrogant at the Poison Temple back then. He … was truly capable!
"His soul cultivation is unfathomable. Make sure not to offend him in the future …"
Clenching his fists tightly, Jin Conghai hurriedly instructed his disciple.
Even Luo Zhu, a Transcendent Mortal 2-dan pinnacle expert, was unable to do anything against the soul oracle's possession. He was tortured day and night.
Yet, this fellow was able to kill him easily despite being only at Zongshi realm. His soul cultivation was definitely formidable.
"If even a servant is so formidable, how powerful must the young master be?"
At the same time, he turned to look at the young man not too far away in shock.
For a mere servant to be able to devour a Transcendent Mortal soul oracle so easily, this young master must be even more formidable. It was no wonder why he was proficient in so many occupations and possessed such sharp eye of discernment. Most likely, even though they saw the strength of a Half-Transcension cultivator, that might not be the case.
Just as they were in the midst of their shock, Sun Qiang's aura finally came to a halt.
From Zongshi realm to Half-Transcension, he actually managed to reach Transcendent Mortal 1-dan!
After a successful possession, the cultivation of a soul oracle would drop. But now … before he could possess the body, he was devoured by this fellow. In other words, the energy in his body was that of a Transcendent Mortal 1-dan expert.
After devouring the energy of a Transcendent Mortal 1-dan expert, his cultivation had successfully reached Transcendent Mortal 1-dan intermediate stage, making him even stronger than Zhang Xuan.
However, this was a cultivation that he had obtained through Impartation, and he wasn't proficient in utilizing it yet. If he were to fight with Zhang Xuan, he wouldn't be a match for him.
"M-my cultivation …"
Feeling the change in his strength, Sun Qiang blinked his eyes in bewilderment.
Even until now, he still couldn't make sense of what was going on.
Didn't that fellow want to devour him?
Why was he so noble that he was willing to be devoured even after his death?
"It's … the surge of zhenqi that the young master left in my body!"
Hurriedly taking a look at his body, Zhang Xuan soon came to a realization.
Back then, when he went to the Poison Temple in Xuanyuan Kingdom, the young master was worried that something might happen to him, so he left a surge of zhenqi in his body.
However, when he met Zhao Feiwu and the others in the Poison Temple, he didn't use the surge of zhenqi in his body. Eventually, he forgot about this matter.
Previously, when the soul tried to devour him, the surge of zhenqi appeared on its own accord to protect its master and reduced it to dust.
In truth, his guess wasn't wrong. That was indeed the reason.
Previously, when Zhang Xuan treated Luo Zhu, in order to prevent others from discovering the uniqueness of his Heaven's Path zhenqi, he had left a little of it on each of his silver needles. Yet, he left a full surge of zhenqi in Sun Qiang's body. There was a difference of several hundred times, no, a thousand times … This soul oracle's soul was already in tatters, so how could it possibly withstand such an attack?
"Thank you, young master …"
Coming to a realization, Luo Zhu was just about to rush over to thank the young master for saving his life when the incomparably composed young master suddenly appeared before him.
"Elder Luo Zhu, right? May I know where you caught the soul oracle? Can you get me a few more? I'll let a few of my students level up and make a breakthrough … "
"…" Luo Zhu.
"…" Master Sai.
