Chapter 3 Liberating the Soul

"The deal is established! I will exchange it for you with the ancient crystal!"

After hearing Ivanka's words, Zhu Jue stopped hesitating and nodded immediately to agree to the deal.

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

After absorbing the energy in it, this gem with a pretty good appearance is actually not much different from a broken stone in Zhujue's hand. It is natural that it will not lose money when used in exchange for a method to strengthen the spirit.

"You can say it now, 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 strong the body of a creature like humans becomes?"

Ivanka did not directly answer Zhu Jue’s question, but asked back.

"Of course, it is through eating, exercise, or other external forces, such as ability injections, human body transformation, etc."

There are not many ways to strengthen the human body in this era. Zhu Jue came up with several ways to think about it after a little bit of thought.

"Yes, the body of a living organism can be strengthened through these methods. Have you ever thought that human will can also be strengthened through exercise and eating."

Holding the ancient crystal in his hand, Ivanka said as she let go of her hand. The ancient crystal was suspended in the air out of thin air, and an invisible force wrapped it up. Layer layers of crystal debris were peeled off from above, she glanced at Zhu Jue and continued.

"I'm curious why you want to ask me this question. When I first met you, you had tried eating fortification, right? I've been in this time and space for 5 years and have never seen anyone who is similar to you."

"That's not my power... it's just an external force temporarily seized. What I pursue is my own strength!"

Zhu Jue once ate a large amount of evolutionary flesh of the source of spiritual pollution monsters, and he undoubtedly gained extremely powerful power from it, not only physical but also spiritual power.

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

He thought this power was without any hidden dangers.

But the subsequent trip to Swater Valley made Zhu Jue suffer a lot in this regard. The will that was easily deprived of from him caused his body to collapse.

"You are very smart, but your understanding is wrong. The power you gain from those indescribable monsters is not yours, otherwise you will not be able to use them to cultivate your own unique will. All you lack is a method of rational use of these energy... Of course, there may be racial restrictions in this. The human spirit may indeed not be able to perfectly integrate with the soul energy of those monsters."

"Can we skip the discussion about my past situation? Do you think it makes sense to discuss the past me now?"

After wiping the rain on his face, Zhu Jue looked at Ivanka, who seemed to be talking long, and directly interrupted him.

It’s nothing to get wet for a while, but now my butt is almost soaked. Zhu Jue didn’t plan to take a rain bath here.

"Well, you are right. Next, I will use the special skills of the great race to liberate your spirit and allow it to formally contact the world, rather than just like you are now. Although it can reach a certain level of concreteness, the real power is imprisoned in your body... In the eyes of our great race, the spirit should transcend the flesh, not be confined by the flesh in turn!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhu Jue could reply, some invisible force rushed into his mind.

The next second, Zhu Jue's eyes turned dark, and his body suddenly seemed to be soaked in a hot spring. The comfort and a sense of floating feeling made him almost moan comfortably.

Bang!

The body suddenly fell backwards on the steel structure at the top of the bridge.

Zhu Jue saw this scene throughout the whole process.

Yes, he looked at his body clearly and fell backwards as if he had lost consciousness.

etc......

The body is in front of your eyes.

Then where is myself now?

"What did you see?"

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

"I saw you..."

His eyes fell behind Ivanka, and Zhu Jue was stunned for a moment.

This is Zhu Jue's second time seeing the body of a great race. Compared to his dream glance at the hotel in Takma City, this time it was a real close contact.

It was a huge iridescent cone covered with some uneven semi-elastic scales.

At the top of the cone, there are four cylindrical organs that can stretch and retract, which appear to be made of the same substance as the cone; these organs can sometimes shrink to a point where they almost disappear, and sometimes they can extend outwardly long.

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

On the head of the extremely strange monster, there were four gray-white thin stems. Each stem had a flower-like organ at the top, and eight tiny, nearly green tentacles hung on the lower part of the head.

On the chassis of the huge cone in the center, it is covered with grayish-white gelatinous substances. It stretches and shrinks, allowing the huge monster to crawl like a mollusk.

"What else?"

His voice rang in Zhu Jue's ears.

"And? And...what are these?"

His eyes changed, and the rainy curtains in the sky had disappeared at this moment. Zhu Jue saw endless light blue light spots permeating around him.

At your fingertips!

"This is natural energy. If it were your humans to say it, it would be natural elements."

"How do you think those evil gods and their believers use spells and spells? The former is born with talent in this area, while the latter acquires the ability to manipulate natural energy by offering sacrifices to the former, and some of them can even do something more special."

"The great race never worships evil gods like Mi Go or the Cthulhu clan. We rely on this ability to think, experiment and evolution over a long period of time. What I do now is to use the skills of the great race to help you open this ability. You don't need any sacrifices, and this is the reward you give me the ancient crystal."

......

Ivanka told Zhu Jue some mysterious knowledge, regardless of whether the latter could understand it.

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 you returns to normal, but there is a big difference between the normal at this time and the normal before.

Zhu Jue can feel that his spirit seems to have broken some shackles. It no longer "autumns", but begins to try to contact the surrounding environment.

The most obvious manifestation in this aspect is perception ability.

In the past, Zhu Jue had this ability by devouring the evolutionary flesh of Nightmare, but it was more like a function similar to a sound wave detector. He could clearly sense the edges and shapes of the object, but at this moment, Zhu Jue could already sense the state of the object.

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

"Before, your spiritual will was a cage locked in a cage. It could not take the initiative to prey. It could only rely on you to put energy in front of it to eat and grow. Then at this time it has already walked out of the cage and can prey on its own. As for where the food that can make it stronger, how to obtain them...you have to find it yourself, it is not within the scope of our trading."

Ivanka couldn't hide his tired expression. The ancient crystal floating in front of him was shattered unknowingly, and was completely analyzed by his powerful spirit.

“It feels pretty good.”

The index finger caught a drop of rain and watched it condense into ice crystals at its fingertips. Its shape speed and state after forming have improved significantly compared to before.

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

"The deal is completed, and I will leave this world and return to my tribe."

Waving his hand to slap the powder of the broken crystals of the ancients and let them drift away in the wind and rain. Ivanka held the steel frame with both hands and was about to move forward.

"etc!"

Zhu Jue seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and then continued to say,

"After you return, you probably won't come back?"

"certainly."

"What should I do if the body you occupy?"

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

Ivanka pointed to Dajiang under the bridge, and understood his meaning very clearly. Obviously, he was not prepared to let the unlucky guy who was selected continue to live.

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

Zhu Jue naturally expressed that he wanted the "legacy" left by the other party, after all, he had no place to go.

"Yes, this identity has no effect on me. My current residence is in Heywood District..."

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

Five minutes later.

On the cross-river bridge, a black shadow fell down the bridge in a posture of planting onions backwards.

About halfway through, the sound of shouting for help sounded, probably the original owner of the body returned.

However, in the current situation on the river surface, there should be no possibility of survival if it falls.

"Let's go, let's go home."

With his hands in his pocket, the rainwater on the surface of the steel frame under his feet condensed into a layer of thin ice. He leaned back and slid towards the bridge deck.

Behind him.

A dark purple rune was printed on the forehead.
