There was nothing behind him. Apart from the countless tombstones, there was no one in sight.
Whoosh!
A chilly wind blew past, causing Yang Fan to shiver.
"Which senior is joking with this junior?"
Yang Fan probed with his eyes and Divine Sense, but he found nothing. There was no one within a radius of several dozen li.
Could it be that there were experts guarding the Martyr's Palace?
If Yang Fan couldn't find anything, it could only mean that the person speaking just now had a cultivation far above his.
"Walk twenty steps forward and face left. You'll see I there."
The voice rang out once more, once more exploding in Yang Fan's Knowledge Sea.
Yang Fan quivered and followed his instructions. He took twenty steps forward and faced to the left. Then, he clearly saw a new stone tablet.
"Huyan Gong Jingde's Tomb!"
Yang Fan looked at the inscription on the tombstone and calmed his heart. It was another tomb without any heroic spirit.
"Senior, this junior doesn't see your figure!"
After bowing to the tombstone out of habit, Yang Fan shifted his gaze away from Huyan Jingde's tombstone and probed into the void once more.
"That's because you're blind, kid. You failed to recognize Mount Tai!"
A breeze blew from the tombstone toward Yang Fan's face, causing Yang Fan's face to turn cold. His gaze involuntarily fell on Huyan Jingde's tombstone.
Just now, he had clearly sensed an extremely weak Soul fluctuation emanating from the tombstone.
Although the fluctuation was weak, it was extremely pure and seemed to be above that of an Emperor!
Yang Fan's heart trembled and his expression changed.
"Senior, are you Professor Huyan Jingde?"
"No, no, that's impossible. Senior, please don't joke with this junior. Pretending to be a deceased heroic spirit is the greatest disrespect to Senior Huyan Jingde."
Yang Fan's first reaction was disbelief, thinking that some Emperor Realm Master was joking with him.
The Heroic Spirits here were different from true Soul Origins. As soon as he entered the Martyr's Palace, Yang Fan discovered that these so-called Heroic Spirits were almost all lingering wills left behind after the deaths of his predecessors.
It was either a Martial Dao inheritance or the power of the Laws of the Grand Dao. Although there was a certain amount of Soul Will mixed in, it no longer had the ability to think independently like a normal Soul.
They were now more like a program, guided by their obsessions, constantly selecting all the juniors who met the requirements of their inheritance to receive the final gift they left behind in this world.
In other words, the heroic spirits here did not have the ability to communicate with humans normally.
And just now, the voice that kept communicating with him obviously still had normal thinking and the ability to communicate. It was unlikely that it was the last lingering will left behind by the dead.
"That's right. Departed spirits shouldn't have the ability to communicate with ordinary people. In fact, I'm also very curious as to why you can hear my mental transmission. "
"After all, this old man has already tried countless times before. In the end, not a single person was able to hear this old man's shouts and nagging."
The voice spoke again, this time coming from the stone stele.
"However, whether you believe it or not, I am Huyan Jingde. If it weren't for the fact that you seemed a little different from the other three youths and were bowing to the heroic spirit ancestors here, I wouldn't have bothered with you. "
Hiss!
Yang Fan sucked in a breath of cold air and stared at the stone stele in front of him, "Senior is really Senior Huyan Jingde?"
This was just too unbelievable. It was just a lingering will, but it seemed to possess a complete set of thoughts and logic. This didn't make sense at all!
"Let's not talk about such nonsense anymore." The voice in his sea of consciousness was clearly dissatisfied, "I can sense the fluctuations of a forbidden soul technique on your body. Are you a necromancer?"
Yang Fan nodded and said modestly, "Senior has sharp eyes. This junior does indeed know a few tricks to refine souls."
"However, please don't misunderstand, senior. This junior came to the Martyr's Palace in search of opportunities. I have absolutely no intention of offending any of the heroic spirits."
In order to avoid the embarrassment of being disdained by the heroic spirits, Yang Fan took the initiative to express his intentions and explain himself.
"Tch!"
"Young man, don't think too highly of yourself. Even if you want to offend us heroic spirits, you need to have the ability to do so. It's true that necromancers are the nemesis of souls, but their soul refining arts have no effect on us heroic spirits."
Yang Fan nodded in agreement, "Senior is right. This junior was indeed rash before."
Judging from the situation where his Soul Lure failed, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Heroic spirits weren't souls, so his Soul Lure didn't succeed in drawing the scattered heroic spirits into his sea of consciousness.
[You used the Charm skill on Huyan Jingde (Extremely Weak), a special spirit. Charm failed. Huyan Jingde sensed it and became vigilant. Spirit + 2, Willpower + 2, Skill Proficiency + 4.]
While speaking, Yang Fan secretly threw a Charm skill at the stone stele. He didn't expect to actually hear the corresponding system notification.
The one who transmitted the message was actually Huyan Jingde. However, he was neither a soul nor a heroic spirit. Instead, he seemed to have turned into a special spirit!
When he saw the words "Extremely Weak" behind Huyan Jingde's name, Yang Fan seemed to see the hope of success.
Take his life while he's weak.
Even if he was a special spirit, even if he really was Huyan Jingde. In the end, he still had to turn him into one of his own first, just in case.
Therefore, while Yang Fan was talking to Huyan Jingde, he constantly scanned the stone stele with his Spirit and threw the Charm skill at it.
[You used the Charm skill on Huyan Jingde (Extremely Weak), a special spirit. Charm failed. Huyan Jingde sensed it and became vigilant. Spirit + 2, Willpower + 2, Skill Proficiency + 4.]
[You used the Charm skill on Huyan Jingde (Extremely Weak), a special spirit. Huyan Jingde (Extremely Weak)'s favorability towards you has greatly increased. Spirit + 2, Willpower + 2, Skill Proficiency + 4.]
"…"
[You used the Charm skill on Huyan Jingde (Extremely Weak), a special spirit. Huyan Jingde (Extremely Weak)'s favorability towards you has greatly increased. His feelings of closeness are overflowing. His love for you has been deeply embedded in his bones. His loyalty is deeply embedded in his mind. The relationship between the two of you has reached the extreme of friendliness. Spirit + 4, Willpower + 4, Skill Proficiency + 8.]
As expected.
Facing Huyan Jingde who was in an extremely Weak state, even if the 31% chance of ignoring defense was not triggered, Yang Fan still managed to successfully charm Huyan Jingde on the third try.
"You little … Oh right, I forgot to ask for your name. Seeing how obedient and handsome you are, and how gentle and polite you are, you really are a rare sight. "
Huyan Jingde's tone, after the successful use of the Charm skill, instantly had an extremely obvious change.
His voice was much gentler, and the words he said were much more honest.
"Senior is overpraising me. This junior is just a little handsome, that's all." Yang Fan was a little polite, and then introduced himself, "This junior is Yang Fan, a freshman of Jinghua University this year."
"Yang Fan, hmm, although your name is a little ordinary, your character is not bad." Huyan Jingde transmitted again, "Although your aptitude is a little lacking, to be able to reach the half-step King realm at such a young age, your luck and whatnot seems to be pretty good."
The corner of Yang Fan's mouth twitched.
Was this a compliment or an insult?
"Do you know why there were so many Heroic Spirits just now, but not a single one chose you to receive their inheritance?"
Hearing Huyan Jingde's question, Yang Fan probed, "Is it because this junior is a Soul Refining Master?"
"That's only a small part of the reason." Huyan Jingde leisurely said, "The most important thing is that your aptitude and comprehension are too ordinary. You simply don't meet the minimum requirements to receive their inheritance."
Yang Fan: "…"
If this Huyan Jingde didn't speak, they could still communicate very well.
Now, Yang Fan even suspected that there was something wrong with his charm skill. Why was Huyan Jingde's attitude towards him not at all friendly? It was even a little personal attack, wasn't it?
"However, it doesn't matter. They look down on you only because they don't know what's good for them."
Huyan Jingde said, "Just based on the fact that you can sense I's existence and hear I's mental transmission, it's enough to show that you're different from the rest. At the very least, your soul perception and the strength of your will are definitely something that I have never seen before in his life. "
Yang Fan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but probe, "Could it be that senior has some kind of inheritance to pass on to this junior?"
"There's no such thing!"
Huyan Jingde directly and very mercilessly dispelled Yang Fan's thoughts.
"Let's not talk about the fact that I is now a lamp that has run out of oil and doesn't have the slightest bit of inheritance left. Even if I was still in peak condition, I's martial dao and great dao rules wouldn't be suitable for you. "
Yang Fan's face fell. What the hell are you talking about if it's not suitable for me? Are you playing with me?
Although Yang Fan was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he still asked Huyan Jingde politely in a soft voice, "Senior, why did you stop this Junior?" Huyan Jingde asked Yang Fan politely.
"Actually, it's nothing much. In the beginning, I was just casually calling out to you for fun. I didn't expect you to be able to hear me."
Huyan Jingde said leisurely, "Later, I discovered that you're actually extraordinarily talented and can hear I's mental transmission. I became even more curious and couldn't help but want to make a deal with you."
Yang Fan raised an eyebrow, "What kind of deal?"
Huyan Jingde directly asked Yang Fan, "Since you're a Soul Refining Master, do you have any Soul Refining Pills on you? If you don't have any Soul Refining Pills, ordinary beast souls will do as well. "
"Senior wants to buy Soul Refining Pills from this junior?"
Yang Fan's mind stirred, and he probed further, "Senior wants to use the Soul Refining Pills or the power of the soul origin in the beast souls to replenish the depletion of your spirit body?"
Huyan Jingde was shocked, "How do you know that I's spirit body is now?!"
