Chapter 18: Soul Magic
With the blessing of the transparent energy and ice blue light in the sea of knowledge, Ling Yun became more and more courageous in the mid-game battle. The old man relied on his agile skills of tossing and turning, constantly dodging Ling Yun's attack. However, because the disadvantage of Jean Jiuzi was too great, although white could still gain some advantages in the mid-game battle, it could no longer turn the tide of the game.
The time had just reached noon, and the situation had already descended to the official stage.
More than 200 chess pieces fell on the chessboard, and the difference in form between the two sides was still maintained at the level of 30 goals. No matter how clever the old man's methods are at the official stage, at most he can only reverse the disadvantage of ten-eye chess. The disadvantage of 30 moves has made him unsustainable.
The old man placed two white pieces in the lower right corner of the board, which in star chess indicates that white chose to concede defeat.
More than 200 chess pieces slowly flew back into the chess box from the chessboard, and in a short time, hundreds of chess pieces had disappeared, and the huge chessboard was empty.
"Yes, you've passed the test." The old man said.
"Thanks to your Chess Book, without its help, I wouldn't have been able to win anyway." Ling Yun said
The old man shook his head and said, "It's your own ability to comprehend in such a short period of time. ”
The test has passed, I've shown my talent to the fullest, and it's time to say what I'm here for. Ling Yun thought in his heart.
"Senior, I came here this time to ask for two things, the first thing is to ask you to save the Ling family from fire and water, and the second thing is to learn your advanced soul arts." Although he knew that he had gained too many benefits from the old man, Tianyun's actions were a matter of life and death, and if there was a glimmer of hope, he still had to mention it.
"Save the Ling family?" The old man asked, but his face was already a little displeased.
"Shangguan Tiande, the son of the generalissimo of the Canglong Soldiers, has come to Izumo Castle, and he has forced the spirits above the general in the castle to enter the Izumo Mountains with him. Shangguan Tiande was close to Murong and the city lord Shangguan, if the strong people of the Ling family entered the mountain with them, they would inevitably become cannon fodder in the front and suffer heavy losses. ”
"And what are you going me to do?" The old man asked.
"If you come forward to negotiate with Shangguan Tiande, Shangguan Tiande will definitely compromise, although the younger generation has lost all his spiritual power, but in my opinion, Shangguan Tiande will not sell you this face. The younger generation only needs the children of the Ling family not to enter the Tianyun Mountain Range to experience. Ling Yun said sincerely.
"The little guy has a very accurate eye for seeing people, if I go to lobby, I guess then Shangguan Tiande will not give the old man this face, but... Why should I help you? The old man asked.
"The younger generation knows that he owes too much to the seniors, and I have nothing to say if I want to say the reason, only sincerity." Ling Yun stood up, knelt down on his knees in front of the old man, and slammed his head to the ground again, but before he could hit the ground, he was hindered by a force. His body was enveloped in a cloud of transparent energy, completely immobile.
Under the control of the colorless energy, he got up from the ground and regained his chair.
"Want to play the emotional card with me?" The old man said coldly. "No one can force me to do things I don't want to do."
"Ask for mercy from my seniors, if I don't have no way out, how dare I bother my seniors?"
"Needless to say, if you want to break the game, you have to rely on yourself, I never care about these trivial things." The old man said lightly.
Ling Yun was anxious in his heart, but after thinking about it, the old man first passed on his "Star Luo Chess Book", and then tried his best to cure himself, and then gave the sword to Ling Yuewei, and later even taught himself the method of practicing spiritual arts. If you ask others here again, it will be difficult for people to be embarrassed. The old man's attitude is clear, if he continues to ask meaninglessly, there is no point, no one can ask for help, so he can only try to be as strong as possible in order to survive the next unknown challenges.
"The juniors are abrupt, if the seniors don't want to, I have to find another way." Ling Yun replied helplessly.
"As for the soul technique you are asking for, I have already taught it to you in the Star Luo Chess Book, have you comprehended it?" The old man asked.
"Really?" Ling Yun said softly. Today, his thinking ability has soared, and sure enough, it was the soul technique that the old man taught him that worked. But how should this soul power be used?
He quieted his whole body, and his consciousness slowly shifted from the outside world to his own body. Consciousness slowly moved through the body, and finally came to the sea of consciousness where soul power was stored. The consciousness stays above the vast sea of consciousness and feels a new world.
The ice-blue and dazzling cold light stayed in the center of the sea of knowledge, and a few wisps of transparent energy floated around it. With the summoning of Lingyun's consciousness, these transparent energies were gathered in one place, forming a good energy.
"The sea of knowledge is the center of storing soul power, and now it is connected with your heart, as long as you want to, you can mobilize the energy in it at any time for your own use." The old man said from the side.
Ling Yun turned his consciousness back to reality, but he could already faintly feel the existence of his own sea of consciousness. The soul power had already been figured out to him, and in a flash, he mobilized the thin soul power he had just had in his body. Although soul power is a mysterious power, its essence is the same as spiritual power, it is a way of cultivation, and at present, the soul power in Ling Yun's body is too weak, according to the division of spirit people, he has only reached the level of a first-level spirit master.
He controlled his soul power towards the chess box, and no one could see its existence with his thin soul power. Soul Power took out a chess piece from the chess box and floated it in the air.
"The predecessors used the means of soul magic to collect and release chess before, right?" Ling Yun asked.
"Of course. However, the soul power in your body now can only help you think and take things from the air. After all, it is too weak, and if you want to have a means to influence the battle, you have to go further. The old man replied.
"Please ask the seniors for advice." Ling Yun said
The old man threw a yellowed chess book in his hand, Ling Yun glanced down at the chess book, and the five big characters of "Thirteen Chapters of Wonderful Meaning" appeared on the chess book, he grasped it slightly and held it in his hand.
This is the thirteen endgames, you are entering the Tao with chess, and cultivating soul art with star chess is the most effective with half the effort. Every time you think, you use the spiritual power in the air for your own use. And the higher the level of thinking about things, the more difficult it is, and the faster your cultivation speed will be. This "Thirteen Chapters of Wonderful Meaning" is suitable for you to study now.
"Thank you, senior!" Ling Yun stepped forward and thanked sincerely.
"My old man is a little tired, you can go, you don't have to come to me until you solve the five endgames."
"Yes." Ling Yun saluted the old man again, and left the old man's mansion with Yue Wei under the leadership of Wang Xiaoer.
The black rune has been suppressed by me, and the soul power is quite far away from the heart, so it shouldn't be affected and devoured by the black rune until I gain enough strength, right? The old man was silent in his heart.
