Chapter 6: The Communication of Souls
When Shenhuan opened his eyes, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment. All around was shrouded in gray fog, no scenery, no changes, everything was surprisingly monotonous.
"Where is this, why am I here?" said Shen Huan to himself, the drowsiness just now was too strange.
"This is your spiritual world. Or rather, the depths of your soul. A voice rang out suddenly.
"Who?!" Shenhuan was taken aback and immediately raised his vigilance to a state of battle. However, he was also surprised to find that as his mind strained, the fog around him became much thicker in an instant.
"Don't be nervous, because I am you. A figure came out of the thick fog, and it was the same as Shen Huan's appearance! The "Shen Huan" smiled slightly: "I said, this is the depths of your soul, and your emotions will have a huge impact here." Relax, let's have a good chat. ”
"Who are you, why do you look like me? You say this is the depths of my soul, why are you here?, how did I get here?" Shen Huan threw out a series of questions, still on high alert at the sudden appearance of a guy who looked like himself.
"Your questions, I will answer them one by one. That "Shenhuan" didn't care about Shenhuan's vigilance, "It's complicated and simple to explain your doubts. So I'll start with the original story. Originally, I wasn't you, I didn't know what kind of disaster I was involved in in which world, my ** was destroyed, and my soul was lucky and unfortunate to come to the empty space between the worlds. This blank space separates the worlds and allows them to operate under their own rules. Maybe for you, it's hard to understand. In fact, for most people, it's hard to understand, only a very small number of people know that this is the case, and no one knows why it is the case. ”
"Oh, sorry, I digress. The "Shen Huan" apologized, although he didn't need to do it at all, "My soul has been wandering in the empty space for I don't know how many years, and in the empty space between the worlds, time is meaningless. Over the course of the years, I gradually lost my memory, and finally even my form, almost becoming a pure soul. It was at this time that I discovered the entrance to this world. I rushed through the entrance, I needed a life form to hold my soul and protect the last of my pitiful memories. When I came to this world, the first life I saw was you, who had just been born. ”
"So, you're living in my body?" Shen Huan understood a little, and his face became very unsightly.
"Don't use the word 'sojourn'...... Forehead...... I know you're thinking about 'human sword resonance'. Well, I'll admit, that really has nothing to do with me. If I hadn't been in your spiritual world, you wouldn't have failed three times. However, I have also compensated you, and I have brought you unparalleled special abilities. ”
"Speed binding?"
"To be precise, this ability is called 'going back in time'. It's just that your soul is too weak to exert a trace of 'time rewinding' ability. When your soul is strong enough, this ability can even turn back time for a short time. ”
"I used it, and it just slowed down my opponent. And it has nothing to do with time. Shen Huan clearly didn't believe his words.
"As I said, it's because your soul isn't strong enough. You feel like you're slowing down your opponent's speed, but in fact, you're just slowing down the flow of time in your opponent's spatial range through 'time rewinding', creating the effect of slowing down your opponent's movements, and that's something you can only capture, and other people can't notice the changes in between because they don't understand the laws of time. ”
The voice of the "Shenhuan" became very proud: "It can be said that I have given you a law ability. The stronger your soul is, the more perfect you will be able to use this ability. In the future, let's call it 'time back', don't use any low-level name of 'speed restraint', it's too cheap, it's really cheap! I really can't evaluate your taste in the name!"
Looking at a face that is exactly the same as himself and making an expression of disgust and disdain, and the object of disgust is still himself, Shenhuan really has an indescribable weird feeling in his heart at this moment.
"As for why I have this ability, and only this ability can be given to you. Probably because of the endless years I spent in the empty space, all other abilities were forgotten in the meaningless nothingness, and in the end only this one remained. ”
Shen Huan didn't refute, he could feel that this somewhat chattering culprit who was exactly the same as his appearance, stayed in his spiritual world, and caused his fate of being expelled from his family, did not lie to him.
"Then why did you become like me? Didn't you say you had your own appearance?"
The man's expression suddenly darkened: "Alas, that's why I came to you." In that battle you fought a few days ago, you kid was so desperate that you pushed the 'time rewind' beyond the limits of your soul's endurance, and instantly exhausted your own spirit. Do you know what the consequences of mental exhaustion are?"
The man paused and continued: "Everyone's spirit is limited, and when you are tired, you have to rest, and when you are sleepy, you have to sleep, this is something that children know. If a person's mental exertion reaches a certain level, the body forces the person to fall asleep. When a person's spirit is completely exhausted, only death awaits him, and it is death at the soul level, without any possibility of resurrection. Now you understand, what did you do then?"
"That'...... Why am I still alive?" Shen Huan was a little incredulous.
"Because I have added my soul source to yours. The man's answer was unexpected.
"That day, I was still recuperating in your spiritual world as before, but I suddenly felt the crazy consumption of your soul power, almost at the same time that your soul was exhausted, I replenished my soul origin into your soul and kept a glimmer of life in your soul. It is also for this reason that I have lost my appearance, assimilated into your appearance, and am about to lose my ** personality, now, I am you, and in a while, I will lose all my memories and thoughts, and completely become a part of your soul. You can rest assured that it is only to increase the power of your soul and will not affect your personality and thoughts. ”
"You ......" Shen Huan didn't know what to say, although this man affected his life, caused him to be banished from his family, and caused all the painful experiences he had after that. But he did give himself a unique ability, and it was an extremely practical and powerful ability.
This existence, who once knew how many times stronger than himself, now sacrificed himself to save his life. Shen Huan didn't know whether to be grateful or to hate him.
"Boy, don't dwell on these questions. The man saw through Shenhuan's thoughts, "If you want to hate me, hate me." You don't need to be grateful to me. I saved you because of this incident, there is a cause that I planted, and naturally I am required to bear the effect. Finally, I'll give you a piece of advice, which can be regarded as helping you solve your current troubles, and you don't have to worry about such trivial things as combat skills. Strength is fundamental, and skill is only skill. When your strength reaches a certain level, your understanding of combat will reach a higher level, and it will not be difficult to create your own combat skills. ”
When Shenhuan heard this, he suddenly saw the sun and woke up. There is only the sentence circling in my head: "Strength is the foundation, and combat skills are only skills...... It's not difficult to create combat skills......"
The man's figure began to blur, and after looking himself up and down, he looked up at Shenhuan and smiled slightly: "It seems that my time is almost up." My personality, my memories, my thoughts are about to dissipate...... Listen, boy, 'Time Back' can only be a killer weapon at critical moments, not a habitual means of fighting. The level of power you are currently exposed to is too low, allowing you to use 'Time Back' frequently. In the future, when you reach a higher level, maybe you will only be able to use 'Time Rewind' once per battle! Don't rely on it too much! I won't be able to save you next time, remember to ......"
Before the words were finished, the figure of the man completely dissipated, no longer existed in any world......
Before Shenhuan could react, there was another trance, and Shenhuan opened his eyes and found that he was still leaning on the trunk of a cypress tree. Zhuo Qing in the distance was still working on his creation, and Tu Lie was gone, probably going to trouble the wild beasts and wild beasts in the forest again. Shenhuan got up, his body moved, and came behind Zhuo Qing.
Zhuo Qing looked back at Shenhuan and asked in a flat tone that Shenhuan usually used, "Have you thought about it?"
"Well, let's go, we have to get to Cangyun Mountain as soon as possible. We've been delayed for a long time. Shenhuan nodded.
"Tsk, I don't want to think about who delayed, one moment pretending to be a dead man, and the other pretending to be a thinker. Zhuo Qing saw that Shenhuan had returned to normal, and began to habitually tease Shenhuan again. However, he soon stopped laughing, because he saw Shenhuan's right hand reach into the trench coat. "Hey, don't move, don't think I don't know what's hidden in your trench coat. You, you, you...... You're so ......."
Zhuo Qing was also a little short of words: "How did I get to know you two violent elements! I always think about solving problems with violence! Can't I do something that civilized people do?"
"It's enough for you to do the things of civilized people. Shenhuan took his hand out of his windbreaker and looked in the direction of the forest, "When Tu Lie comes back, let's go." How long do you think we'll need to cross this forest?"
The forest of Wangcang is very ancient and very grand, the combination of a long age and a strong force, a thousand years of ancient trees and the beginning of the new wood collocation, dense layers, towering, full of boundless green, revealing a solemn atmosphere. Shenhuan vaguely felt that this forest seemed to be guarding some secret, maybe in the forest, maybe on the Cangyun Mountain behind.
"How long did it take to travel through...... It's definitely a little longer than you think. According to rumors, there is something interesting about this. Zhuo Qing unfolded the folding fan and looked around.
