"The deal is set! I'll trade you for the Ancient Crystal!"

After listening to Ivanka's words, Zhu Jue no longer hesitated, and immediately nodded in agreement with the transaction.

Although this ancient crystal had been with Zhu Jue for five years, he actually didn't know how to use it at all.

After absorbing the energy in it, this gem that looks good is actually not much different from a broken stone in Zhu Jue's hands, and it will naturally not lose if it is exchanged for a method of strengthening the spirit.

"Now you can say, what is the way to strengthen your own spiritual will?"

Zhu Jue looked at Ivanka with anticipation.

"You ask me how I can make my spiritual will stronger, then I ask you, how does the body of a human creature become strong?"

Ivanka did not directly answer Zhu Jue's question, but asked rhetorically.

"Of course, through eating and exercising, or some other external forces, such as ability injections, human body modification, etc. ”

There are not too many ways to strengthen the human body in this era, and Zhu Jue came up with several after a little thought.

"Yes, the body of a creature can be strengthened through these methods, so have you ever thought that in fact, the human will can also be strengthened through exercise and eating. ”

Holding the Ancient Crystal in her hand, Ivanka let go of her hand as she spoke, the Ancient Crystal was suspended in mid-air out of thin air, wrapped in an invisible force, and layers of crystal fragments were peeled off from above, glanced at Zhu Jue, and continued.

"I'm curious why you would want to ask me this question, you had already tried feeding fortification when I first met you, hadn't you, I've been on this plane for 5 years and I've never seen anyone in a similar situation like yours. ”

"That's not my power...... It's just an external force that has been temporarily seized, and what I pursue is my own strength!"

In the past, Zhu Jue had eaten a large amount of evolutionary flesh from the monster of the source of spiritual pollution, and he undoubtedly gained extremely powerful power from it, not only physically, but also spiritually.

As Ivanka said, when they met in the Takma Desert, Zhu Jue also relied on that strength to force him to build a firearm for himself.

He thought that this power was without hidden dangers.

However, the subsequent trip to Swart Valley made Zhu Jue suffer enough in this regard, and the will that was easily stripped from his body caused his body to collapse.

"You are very smart, but your understanding is wrong, the power you have obtained from those unspeakable monsters is not yours, otherwise you would not have been able to cultivate your own unique will with the help of them, all you lack is the reasonable use of these energies...... Of course, there may also be racial limitations, and the human spirit may indeed not be able to perfectly integrate with the soul energy of those monsters. ”

"Can we skip the discussion of my past, do you think it makes sense to discuss who I used to be now?"

Wiping the rain from his face, Zhu Jue looked at Ivanka, who seemed to have to talk at length with a little headache, and interrupted him bluntly.

It's nothing to rain for a while, but now that my ass is about to get soaked, Zhu Jue doesn't plan to take a rain shower here.

"Well, you're right, I'll use the special techniques of the Great Race to liberate your spirit and allow it to officially come into contact with the world, instead of being like you are now, although you can reach a certain level of materialization, but the real power is imprisoned in your body...... In the eyes of our great race, the spirit should be detached from the flesh, and not conversely bound by the flesh!"

Before the words fell, before Zhu Jue could reply, some invisible force rushed directly into his mind.

In the next second, Zhu Jue's eyes were dark, and his body seemed to be soaking in a hot spring, and he almost groaned comfortably with some floating feelings.

Boom!

The body suddenly fell backwards against the steel frame at the top of the bridge.

This scene was watched by Zhu Jue throughout the whole process.

Yes, he watched clearly as his body fell backwards as if unconscious.

Wait a minute......

The body is in front of you.

So where is your current self?

"What do you see?"

The familiar voice came again, and Zhu Jue, who was struggling, subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from.

"I see your ......"

His eyes fell on Ivanka's back, and Zhu Jue froze in place for a while.

This was the second time Zhu Jue had seen the body of the Great Race, and compared to the dream glimpse he had once had in the hotel in Takma City, this time it was a real close encounter.

It was a large, iridescent cone covered in some kind of uneven, semi-elastic scales.

At the tip of the cone, there are four retractable cylindrical organs, which appear to be made of the same material as the cone, sometimes shrinking to the point of almost disappearing, and sometimes extending outwards to extremely long lengths.

At the end of two of them, there are huge hook claws, like the claws of a crab, and the other has four trumpet-like red organs at the end, and one, at the end there is an irregular sphere about two feet in diameter, the sphere is almost yellow, and in the center there are three large black eyes, arranged in a circle.

On top of the extremely strange monster's head, there were four thin gray-white stems, each with flower-like organs at the top, and eight small, almost green tentacles hanging from the lower part of the head.

The chassis of the huge cone in the center was covered with a grayish-white gelatinous substance, which stretched and retracted to make the massive monster crawl like a mollusk.

"What else?"

His voice sounded in Zhu Jue's ears.

"And, there's ...... What are these?"

His gaze shifted, and the rain curtain in the sky had disappeared at this moment, and Zhu Jue saw endless light blue points of light permeating his surroundings.

At your fingertips!

"This is the energy of nature, and if you humans put it in the language of you, it is the element of nature. ”

"How do you think the gods and their followers use spells and spells? The former were born with a talent for this, and the latter sacrificed to the former to gain the ability to manipulate the energies of nature, some of which could even do something more special. ”

"The Great Race has never worshipped evil gods like Mi Goh or the Cthulhus, we rely on the ability to do so after a long period of thinking, experimentation, and evolution, and what I'm doing now is using the skills of the Great Race to help you unlock this ability, without any sacrifices on your part, and that's what you paid for giving me the Ancient Crystal. ”

......

Ivanka told Zhu Jue some mysterious knowledge, regardless of whether the latter could understand it or not.

When Zhu Jue opened his eyes again, the bright light in his eyes was clearly visible in the rain in the night.

Everything in front of me is back to normal, but there is a big difference between the normal at this time and the normal before.

Zhu Jue could feel that his spirit seemed to have broken some kind of shackles, and it was no longer "self-contained", but began to try to contact its surroundings.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the ability to perceive.

In the past, by devouring the evolutionary flesh of nightmares, Zhu Jue had this ability, but it was more like a function similar to a sound wave detector, he could clearly perceive the edge and shape of the object, but at this moment, Zhu Jue could already perceive the state of the object.

For example, the raindrops beside him, the moment he closed his eyes, Zhu Jue could feel countless light blue light spots falling beside him, and five years ago, he could only see countless small dots.

"Before, your mental will was a young beast in a cage, it could not actively prey, and could only rely on you to put your energy in front of it to eat and grow, then at this time it has come out of the cage and can do its own predation, as for where is the food that can make it more powerful, how to get it...... You'll have to find it yourself, it's not in our deal. ”

Ivanka couldn't hide his tired look, and the ancient crystals suspended in front of him were mostly broken before he knew it, completely analyzed by his powerful spirit.

"It feels pretty good. ”

The index finger catches a drop of rain and watches it condense into ice crystals on the fingertips, both the speed of formation and the state after forming have been greatly improved compared to before.

As for the changes in other aspects, Zhu Jue is ready to find some time to think about it slowly.

"The deal is complete, and I'm leaving this world and returning to my people. ”

With a wave of her hand, she scattered the powder from the shattered crystals of the Ancients, letting them drift away in the wind and rain, and Ivanka was about to move forward with her hands on the steel frame.

"Wait!"

Zhu Jue seemed to suddenly think of something, and after stopping it, he continued,

"When you return, you probably won't come back, right?"

"Of course. ”

"And what about this body you occupy?"

"According to our original rules, his spirit would return to this body, but because of his hostility towards me, I chose to return here. ”

Ivanka pointed to the river under the bridge, and it was clear that he was not prepared to let the chosen unlucky man continue to live.

"Since you don't use this identity, how about lending it to me, I need a place to settle down and a suitable identity now, you live in Dawn City, you should have your own residence here, right?"

Zhu Jue naturally said that he wanted the "inheritance" left by the other party, after all, he didn't have a place to go.

"Yes, this identity doesn't work for me anymore, and my current residence is in Heywood......"

Tell Zhu Jue the location of his residence and valuables such as keys one by one, and the latter is to write down some more critical information as much as possible.

Five minutes later.

On the bridge across the river, a black shadow fell off the bridge in an upside-down posture.

About halfway through, the voice of shouting for help sounded, and it was supposed to be the return of the original owner of the body.

It's just that in the current situation on the river, there should be no possibility of survival if you fall down.

"Let's go, let's go home. ”

With his hands in his pockets, the rain on the surface of the steel frame under his feet condensed into a thin layer of ice, and the whole person leaned back and slid towards the bridge deck.

Behind him.

Dark purple runes are imprinted on the forehead.

The giant beast with its silver mane walked with its head held high.
