Chapter 113: The Initial Spirit Manifestation
For Yun Zhonghe, Mu Jixue could hardly say she resisted him now. She just had… a very complex and delicate feeling.
She did remember the favors Yun Zhonghe had bestowed upon her and Little Yu. If possible, she’d love to become good friends with Yun Zhonghe too.
But when she saw Little Yu’s intense gaze towards Yun Zhonghe, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
On one side was the benefactor, and on the other, her beloved childhood friend. Originally, two beautiful things coming together should have doubled the beauty, so why did things turn out this way?
Mu Jixue was in a terrible quandary; wanting to intervene and separate the two seemed like the right thing to do, but thinking about it again made her feel it wasn’t quite appropriate. Furthermore, if she were to do that, she was bound to be reprimanded by Little Yu for being unmanageable yet again.
She often felt like there were two miniature people fighting in her mind.
“Um um um… Little Yu, my Little Yu…”
This time, Mu Jixue didn’t disturb the pleasant atmosphere between Yun Zhonghe and Lin Zhongyu. Standing alone, she hung her head dejectedly, unable to accept it.
But at this moment, Yun Zhonghe suddenly gripped Mu Jixue and pulled her forcefully towards him.
Mu Jixue was alarmed and ended up lying on his brawny chest.
Her little face turned crimson instantly.
“What… What are you doing?” Her brain was buzzing as she instinctively showed off her baby teeth.
However, Yun Zhonghe looked seriously into her and then pointed far away at the bodies of three wind black wolves, “Those creatures are acting abnormally. You’re getting too close.”
Mu Jixue realized at this point that the three bodies were glowing.
He was actually helping me… I thought he wanted me and Little Yu…
Mu Jixue stammered, “T-Thank you…”
“Nothing much, just be careful. Anything could happen in this trial. Losing out would be a huge disadvantage.”
Yun Zhonghe didn’t notice the look on Mu Jixue’s face, perhaps he subconsciously overlooked her expression.
“Brother Yun, Xue’er, look.”
Lin Zhongyu pointed ahead at the three wind black wolves. Their bodies suddenly exploded into fragments of glass-like shards, and the next moment, pure spiritual energy emerged!
Yun Zhonghe’s eyes flickered slightly. Could this be the reward for every tenth level?
Every ten levels would come some rich rewards.
“Quick! Release your sea of consciousness and absorb these spiritual energies!”
Without much hesitation, Yun Zhonghe swiftly issued his command.
This was something precious. The pure spiritual energy, an unclaimed force, could merge with other energies automatically. Even spiritual forces that hadn’t reached the Initial Understanding stage could passively absorb them.
Yun Zhonghe sat down in meditation, Lin Zhongyu did so without reluctance, leaving Mu Jixue still dazed as if she hadn’t shaken off the warmth from Yun Zhonghe’s muscular chest yet.
The accidental body contact had made Mu Jixue even more anxious.
Yun Zhonghe opened his eyes, seeing Mu Jixue still in a daze. He frowned and urged, “Hurry.”
“Hmm… Oh… Ah…”
Yun Zhonghe: “……”
What nonsense is this white-haired loli talking? This is such a rare trial opportunity, how could she afford not to seize it? How will she become stronger in the future and help those heroines who await her rescue?
Just take a look at Lin Zhongyu, she’s diligently seizing her future and listening obediently to Yun Zhonghe. While swallowing the spiritual energies furiously.
Yun Zhonghe felt rather frustrated and helpless.
Mu Jixue sat cross-legged and released her Sea of Consciousness.
Three figures stood in a formation known as ‘Two Ladies Holding One Gentleman’.
Pure spiritual energy hovered above their heads in the air, dividing into three streams, each entering the minds of Yun Zhonghe, Mu Jixue, and Lin Zhongyu.
Yun Zhonghe’s share was larger and denser, as solid as a thick column.
While Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu’s were positioned to the sides, lighter and fluffy, forming spherical clouds.
Two clouds sandwiching one pillar.
Yun Zhonghe felt a sense of enlightenment, his mind clearer than ever before, senses magnified many times over, and comfort engulfing his entire body.
Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu shared the same feeling, warm and buzzing in their heads, the delicious spiritual energies making them drool uncontrollably.
How amazing, they wanted more.
They all shared this lavish feast of mental delight.
The spiritual energy was pure though scarce; it sufficed for the three who hadn’t reached the Initial Understanding stage.
“Gwaaah…,” gradually, Yun Zhonghe let out a rough breath.
A faint sensation stirred within, indicating some transformation starting.
The swirling energy ball above their heads started moving, Yun Zhonghe’s side had the trend to actively absorb it, drawing the attention of the others. Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu’s shares began to move involuntarily, pressing closer to Yun Zhonghe’s.
Inside, Yun Zhonghe exclaimed, had he reached the Initial Understanding stage?
His cultivation bound with Huang Aotian, his spiritual energy naturally not weak. Following the path would make him reach the stage quickly. Additionally, he had strengthened his spiritual force via the Book of Prophecy, and now he received pure spiritual energy, transforming it first.
The transformation stirred considerable unrest internally, prompting an urge to snatch the unabsorbed energy from Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu.
Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu sensed the commotion from Yun Zhonghe; their spirits quivered.
Mu Jixue was startled: How powerful, his absorption was strong, she felt her energy slipping away.
Lin Zhongyu bit her lip: So intense, Yun Brother’s spiritual energy was about to storm into hers, taking away some of her spirit.
Their anxiety skyrocketed immediately.
Yun Zhonghe’s forceful absorption seemed to shake everything up.
Yun Zhonghe was taken aback, he never expected that his spirit would undergo its initial manifestation here, let alone on such a grand scale. Even Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu appeared to attempt a takeover.
He hastily controlled his surging spiritual power, desperate to contain any outburst that might interfere with Mu Jixue’s and Lin Zhongyu’s benefits.
But the spheres above their heads squeezed tighter, enticing him to indulge greedily.
“d*mn it…”
Yun Zhonghe clenched his teeth.
Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu struggled as well. Yun Zhonghe’s strong spiritual force felt like two hands, probing into their mental seas.
“Woo~”
“I can’t hold it anymore!!”
Finally, they surrendered to Yun Zhonghe’s overwhelming presence, losing control.
Hours later, Yun Zhonghe finished his initial spirit manifestation. A golden orb glittered within his mind.
This marked the completion of his spiritual energy’s initial manifestation!
To achieve it at the Foundation Establishment stage! How many dreamt of such an achievement?
Even the prodigious disciples of the Immortal Alliance couldn’t guarantee this, yet Yun Zhonghe accomplished it!
In fact, he surpassed Huang Aotian!
At that moment, Yun Zhonghe was elated. Eager to share his joy with his two friends, only to find that they were drenched in sweat, panting on the ground.
Yun Zhonghe: “Eh?”
…
