Vol Chapter 8 (1/2)

“This medicine, it really can treat Mandara disease!” San Xiao Jie opened both her eyes now br.i.m.m.i.n.g with joy. After a while, she said regretfully,”Too bad that just now I was pressured into consuming the medicine quickly. Otherwise,I would have carefully a.n.a.lysed the medicinal contents of the medication. . Once I find out what the ingredients are, I will kill w.a.n.g Lin myself. No one can threaten Zi Yan me, especially not a mere male slave.”

“Xiao Jie, this young man is extremely clever. It will not be easy to figure out the ingredients used in the medicine. Too bad the family did not dispatch Spiritual Fighters who specialise in the art of sensing here. Otherwise, we could have sent them to observe w.a.n.g Lin. That way, it would have been much easier to obtain the medicine formula.” w.a.n.g Popo sighed while looking at San Xiao Jie with much love before continuing, “In addition, this young man’s ability has improved significantly. In merely a month’s time, he has achieved Level 1.”

“Spiritual Fighters…… Ever since I contracted this disease, the other family members have avoided me like the plague. How could they send the rare Spiritual Fighters to help me…… Hmph, when Da Jie is released from prison, she will definitely come to see me…… Regarding this, w.a.n.g Lin, he is just at Level 1. That is nothing at all. With the Soul Power Diminis.h.i.+ng Worm inside his body, he will never be able to advance beyond Level 3!” San Xiao Jie’s eyes were full of hatred and contempt. She hated w.a.n.g Lin very much. A male slave who dared to threaten her. If it wasn’t for his ability to treat Mandara disease, she would have killed him already. The pride of the Phoenix Race was more important than anything else. She continued saying :

“Moreover, I have given him the book containing the h.e.l.l Raiser Technique. I do not believe that he can withstand the urge to learn a Grade D spell. Once he starts training in it, he will be dead. I have also laced his daily food with soul dispersing poison. After he had taken a considerable amount of the poison into his body, w.a.n.g Popo you just need to use the Soul Chain Technique on him. At that time, under the influence of Soul Dispersing Poison, the success rate would be higher.”

w.a.n.g Popo hesitated. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something but decided not to. Instead, she sighed deeply in her heart.

w.a.n.g Lin went back to his room. He knew that he had won himself yet another month of time.

w.a.n.g Lin took out the medicine given to him by San Xiao Jie and a.n.a.lysed it for almost half a day. Using his dagger, he cut it into two parts. Finally, he reconsidered his plan, making sure that it was as flawless as possible before continuing to train in the second ill.u.s.tration of the Spiritual Enhancement Technique.

Fifty-five minutes and thirteen seconds later, w.a.n.g Lin suddenly opened his eyes. His body was experiencing extreme pain. He swallowed the first half of the pill.

Based on the past encounters, w.a.n.g Lin knew very well that the worm inside him would inflict pain to interrupt his training and then, immediately hide deeply within his body as to avoid detection. However, this time, because he took the medicine, he could clearly feel a slight tremor coming from the deepest layer of his lower abdomen.

It was as though the worm was hesitating, then it immediately moved towards w.a.n.g Lin’s intestine. At that time, the pill that had turned into liquid, was flowing in there.

The worm was unable to resist the temptation of the medicine. w.a.n.g Lin smirked and mustered soul power into two of his fingers on his right hand and poked into his intestine. The worm, alerted to the danger, did not want to give up on the medicine. Due to this inner conflict, w.a.n.g Lin was able to catch the worm between his fingers.

The worm let out a sharp shriek. Immediately w.a.n.g Lin felt intense pain and became drenched in his own sweat. When he removed his fingers, he saw about a ⅓ of the worm’s body between them.

“This worm is really intelligent. In order to survive, it cut itself up. However, its soul power has now suffered a lot of damage. The next time it acts should be its funeral!” w.a.n.g Lin smirked with a cynical expression on his face.

Without the worm in his way any longer, w.a.n.g Lin managed to complete the second ill.u.s.tration of Spiritual Enhancement Technique that very day. His wound also slowly recovered under the stimulation of his soul power. After was.h.i.+ng away the black toxins excreted from his body, he immediately started training on his soul power control.

His schedule was densely packed now. Every day, he would spend fifteen hours training his body strength and in the Spiritual Enhancement Technique, four hours on mustering power to his fingers, four hours on soul power control and finally, one hour to rest.

w.a.n.g Lin somehow felt that the forceful method which he used to control his soul power now, was incorrect. After thinking for long and hard, he took out a metal ball from the stack of equipment he bought.

This metal ball was a high-tech product made in the Spring Water Empire. It was mainly used to train against explosives and for defence. The stronger the energy on impact, the stronger the energy reflected by it.

Based on this attribute, w.a.n.g Lin utilised it to train in the control of his soul power. He first put the metal ball in his right palm. He then mustered all his soul power into his right hand, releasing it bit by bit. The metal ball immediately sprang up, reflected against the ceiling before falling down again.

w.a.n.g Lin held the metal ball and continued trying.

Even after repeated failed attempts, w.a.n.g Lin still did not give up. He tried recalling the reasons why he failed. Soul power was not controlled well. All of his soul power would flow out uncontrollably even though he tried limiting it. It was all or nothing. In the past, he always forcefully controlled the soul power so that not all of it would flow out. He wanted to increase the amount of soul power output bit by bit so that it would not go waste. Looking at the current situation, he might as well not try to control it.

Since he was unable to increase his soul power output bit by bit, he was thinking of letting it all go out at once. Then from there, he would learn how to decrease the soul power output bit by bit. The desired result should be similar.

w.a.n.g Lin felt that there was improvements with the new training regime. The objective he set was every time the metal ball sprang up, it should reach the same height.

Based on w.a.n.g Lin’s calculation in the yard, the height which the metal ball could reach was around twenty-two metres if he let out all the soul power in one go.

In that case, he decided to start with twenty-two metres. w.a.n.g Lin knew that, with the training of Spiritual Enhancement Technique, his soul power would increase day-by-day. To make the metal ball go higher was easy, but to slowly reduce the height from twenty-two metres was difficult. This would require precision in restrain and control.

That was what w.a.n.g Ling needed to practise.

After setting himself a goal, w.a.n.g Lin modified his training plan. Every time, he would first train in the Spiritual Enhancement Technique. After having plenty of soul power, he would train with the metal ball. After he depleted his soul power, he would train his body strength by running in circles with weights attached. When his body became exhausted, he would start from the beginning again.

w.a.n.g Lin named this series of training “The Soul Power Loop”.

Time pa.s.sed by quickly.
