Back at the bookstore, Xue Ling told Kong Hua what happened today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Sure enough, you're still being targeted." Kong Hua shook his head helplessly.
"However, fortunately, your soul mark has not been taken away, if you lose the qualification of a psychic, you will become an ordinary person, and then your death will come again."
"Yes, it's good that Xiang Yu is here, otherwise he would have died."
"Xiang Yu?"
"Well, my soul mark was almost taken away at the beginning, but fortunately, Xiang Yu appeared and said that I would be possessed and merge with him, and then I would defeat that person."
"Could it be that your abilities have been awakened? I thought it was strange how you got out. ā
"Awakening?"
"Well, psychics can not only see souls, but psychics can gain power beyond ordinary people after their abilities are awakened. This is the real psychic. ā
"The awakened psychic obtains one of the powers of the Samurai Soul, the Battle Soul, and the Law Soul. Samurai Shore, that is, you, sign a blood contract with a soul who still has no wishes, does not want to leave the world, and obsessively remains in the world, and uses the power of the soul to fight.
Battle Soul, through cultivation, directly improves one's soul power and strengthens one's body to gain powerful power. The Law Soul, which gains the power to override the natural elements, is the rarest ability of the three. ā
"So I'm a Samurai Soul, but the side effects of Samurai are so big, I'm still sore after being possessed and combined!"
"You can't be blamed for this, it's because the soul you signed the contract with is too strong, and being possessed by him will consume your soul power excessively, and your current soul power is very low, which adds to the burden on your body. But speaking of which, you are really lucky to be able to sign a contract with Xiang Yu. ā
"Lucky what, my body almost died. But he seems to have left, and he disappeared after the fight. ā
"No, once the contract is signed, he won't leave until his long-cherished wish is fulfilled, he just doesn't manifest, after all, manifesting will consume soul power, and your soul power has reached its limit."
ā.... Well, then, can you tell me why they would want to get my soul seal? Xue Ling looked straight at Kong Hua and begged Kong Hua to tell him the answer.
Kong Hua also knew that Xue Ling had been involved in the turmoil of psychics, and he had to tell him something.
"Although psychics have been lurking in the lives of normal people, psychics also have their own set of order, and order needs to be maintained by strong people. The person who stands at the apex of the order and is able to maintain the balance among the psychics is called the "king".
But not long ago, our "king" was killed!! The dragons of the soul realm who have lost their "king" are leaderless and very chaotic, relying on the temporary "King's Council" to barely maintain balance. But what we really need is a new "king."
The birth of the "king" is that it is necessary to select the strongest person among the psychics through the "king's selection", which has been a rule since ancient times. ā
"What does that have to do with me, I don't participate in the 'king's election'."
"Not everyone thinks the same way as you, the 'king' is not only a symbol of power for psychics, but also a supreme glory, and countless people want to become a 'king'. There are two ways for psychics to become stronger, one is cultivation and the other is to cultivate
It is to improve one's soul power by taking other people's soul marks. Therefore, in order to become stronger, they will go to seize other people's soul seals, and weak psychics will often become targets. ā
ā.... It's because he's weak, but like that boy, he can't even beat me as weak, and he still wants to participate in the 'King Election'? ā
"The invitation letter of 'Wang Xuan' is issued to the top 100 psychics after the internal examination of the 'King's Conference', and it can be said that the invitation letter of Wang Xuan is a recognition of their strength. What they want is not to be a 'king', but only to be a 'king's choice'. ā
"I still don't understand why they are like this, they can't become 'kings', what is the point of getting the invitation to be the 'king's choice'."
"People like you who even admit that they are weak will not understand."
Xue Ling was left silent.
"Forget it, you have to be careful yourself in the future, especially recently, there is still a month to send the 'King Selection' qualification, it is very chaotic outside during this time, you better be careful."
"Is there anything I can do to avoid being discovered?"
"No, it takes a long time of training to hide your soul power, but if your soul power is as low, as long as you don't exercise vigorously, your soul power won't overflow your body."
"Okay..."As long as you survive this month, when the qualifications for the king come out, you should be able to live an ordinary life, Xue Ling thought so.
After helping with the work in the store, Xue Ling returned to his room.
"I'm sore and I have to continue working, alas, I'm so tired." In the bathroom, Xue Ling soaked in the bathtub, wanting to wash away the fatigue of the day through a hot bath.
After so long, the pain in the body has not disappeared, and it seems that it is still a great burden to be possessed by Xiang Yu.
Xue Ling stood up and wiped his body.
Looking at the soul mark on his chest, he didn't know whether to thank it for helping Xue Ling escape death, or to blame it for disrupting Xue Ling's normal life.
If you look closely, the dragon pattern of this soul mark seems to be a little larger than before, is it an illusion?
Xue Ling didn't have time to think so much, he just wanted to finish washing up and go to sleep and rest.
The next morning, perhaps because he was very tired from possessing and fitting for the first time yesterday, the alarm clock rang for a long time before Xue Ling woke up.
Xue Ling rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, Xiang Yu sat on the floor of the room with his back to Xue Ling, although he was sitting, his burly and tall body still revealed an indescribable domineering.
"Why are you here?"
"I see that your soul power has almost recovered, so I'll come out and take a look. It's been years since I've sat like this, and it's a nostalgic feeling. ā
"For years?"
"That's more than 2,000 years." Xiang Yu slowly stood up, turned around and said to Xue Ling.
Xue Ling chose to be silent.
"Since I died in Wujiang, I have been unwilling, so I have been guarding the riverside for two thousand years, waiting for someone to sign a contract with me, and my wish has been fulfilled."
"What kind of wish can make you wait for two thousand years, is it to dominate the world and be called the king and emperor?" Xue Ling was curious.
"Hmph, back then, I was invincible on the battlefield, but unfortunately, the times were not in my favor, and I was defeated, and I had nothing to say!" Xiang Yu's tone was a little angry.
"Ah, don't talk about this, alas, hurry up and prepare, it's not too early, I have to go and help the store." Xue Ling hurriedly changed his clothes and washed them.
Xue Ling helped open the bookstore after eating breakfast, and Xiang Yu also followed.
But the boss and the proprietress can't see it, after all, they are not psychics.
"Morning, Xue Ling." Kong Hua walked down from the upper floor and greeted Xue Ling.
"Good morning, it's the first time I've seen you sleep so late and wake up."
"This is the legendary Xiang Yu, worthy of being a ghost male!" Kong Hua looked at Xiang Yu behind Xue Ling and said.
"Hmm." Xue Ling replied.
But Xiang Yu looked very surprised, because Kong Hua could see him, which surprised him?
"Kong Hua is a psychic, so..."Xue Ling wanted to explain to Xiang Yu, but it didn't seem to be what Xue Ling thought.
"Yu Ji... You are Yu Ji?!! Xiang Yu looked at Kong Hua and was very excited.
The eyes that were originally very resolute revealed a trace of tenderness at the moment.
"Ah, no, no. I'm not Yu Ji, my name is Kong Hua. Kong Hua explained.
"It's true, that's right, Yu Ji she has ..... a long time ago" Xiang Yu deliberately looked away.
"By the way, I'm almost out to work." Xue Ling packed up his things and prepared to go out.
"I advise you not to go out, it's easy to be targeted by others." Xiang Yu said to Xue Ling.
"It's okay, aren't you still there?"
"Now you can't even use half of my strength, as long as you have a little ability, you will die."
"I'll be careful." Xue Ling still insisted on going, if he didn't work, what would happen to his sister's tuition!
"Wait." Kong Hua, Xue Ling stopped.
"Here's for you." Kong Hua took a strange talisman to Xue Ling.
"What is this?"
"It's called the Soul Charm and it can help you hide your soul. Staying up late last night helped you do it. ā
"Thanks!" Xue Ling took the talisman and was very happy, so that he could go out to work with peace of mind.
"But your soul power seems to have grown."
"Is there one?"
"Well, a little bit more."
"Okay, just a little bit, I'll go to work honestly."
Xue Ling rode off on an electric car.
In order to avoid being seen by other psychics, Xiang Yu is also gone, but with the soul suppression talisman given by Kong Hua, there should be nothing to be wary of.
Today's work went well as well.
On the way back to the store, I passed by a fruit stall that frequented the newly stocked lychees.
Now it's the season to eat lychees, Ziqing has liked to eat lychees since she was a child, Xue Ling plans to buy some for her to send over, and by the way, bring some pears to Anqi.
Xue Ling came downstairs to the school's dormitory with the fruit.
"Thank you, brother! I didn't expect to arrive so soon that there were lychees to eat. ā
"No, I just saw that the fruit store already sold it, so I wanted to buy some for you to taste."
"Yo yo yo, it's really considerate." Angel said with a smile. "By the way, there are very few people on the playground now, and we are going to go for a walk in the playground, are you going to go?"
"No, I'll have to go back to the store to help, next time."
"What a pity?"
"Then I'm leaving! Bye-bye"
"yes, bye."
"Brother, stay safe!"
"Don't worry!"
After speaking, Xue Ling set off and left.
When he was about to leave the campus, Xue Ling saw a person exuding soul power walk into the school.
His name is Lin Qi, and he is a psychic who lives near the school.
Xue Ling didn't seem to be walking into the school aimlessly, what did he want to do?
Thinking that his sister was still on the playground, he couldn't rest assured, Xue Ling immediately turned around and went back to see what was going on, at least to make sure that Ziqing would not be harmed.
Xue Ling stopped the car in the parking lot at the school gate and followed Lin Qi in.
He seems to be looking for something, could it be that he is looking for a psychic?
Sure enough, he walked up to a student standing on the edge of the playground, although it was very weak, he could still see a little soul power emanating from that student's body.
Xue Ling has been looking for traces of Ziqing and An Qi, but no matter how you look at it, she can't find it, as long as they are not affected, nothing else matters.
Lin Qi held down the student, wanting to take his soul seal, and the student wanted to kick him away, but he looked very weak.
The student had been resisting, and Lin Qi was very impatient, grabbed his hand and threw him out, rolling onto the track around the playground.
The worst thing happened, Ziqing and Angel didn't know what was going on and ran towards the student.
"Are you alright?" They picked up the student.
"Let's go!" Xue Ling rushed over and pulled Ziqing and An Qi away.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"Leave this alone, let's go!"
"But that classmate, he.." Ziqing broke away from Xue Ling's hand and walked towards the fallen student, she didn't understand what kind of danger she would encounter if she did so.
Ziqing didn't know what a psychic was, and she didn't know how terrible the battle between psychics was.
Lin Qi rushed over and swept towards him with his right foot.
If this continues, Ziqing will also be affected, and Xue Ling can't take care of it so much.
"You kid, do you want to be found out you're a psychic?" Xiang Yu's words appeared directly in Xue Ling's mind.
"Damn! Xiang Yu, possessed and combined! "Xue Ling didn't have time to think about it that much.
Xiang Yu descended again and entered Xue Ling's body.
Lin Qi's kick was blocked by Xue Ling.
Lin Qi was also surprised, he didn't expect that there were other psychics, but in addition to being surprised, he also showed an excited look, he could harvest two soul seals at a time, and it could be seen that he had this strength.
"Angel will take Ziqing away first, and I'll explain the rest to you later!"
