Chapter 301: Will and Soul

Translator: InsigniaEditor: Svjohn

Just as Luo Yuan was about to feel a little relief, he was shocked and stared at the corpse of Mo Li. As her eyes were losing vitality, a pale silver shadow was seen coming out of her ice-cold body. A chill rose from Luo Yuan’s heart which engulfed his body, causing goosebumps!

”It’s her soul!” Luo Yuan was stunned, and could not believe his eyes when he laid his eyes on that shadow.

The apparition was exuding a pale silver radiance as if it was covered with a layer of thick fog, yet it completely resembled Mo Li with all her features and limbs.

Finally, she managed to break loose from her physical body, and slowly stood up. In fact, she was floating into an upright position.

She looked confused and lowered her head to look around as if she had forgotten something. When she saw her own body lying there, she seemed dazed and puzzled for a period of time.

To prevent any unforeseen accidents, Luo Yuan slowly took a step backward and realized that he was also floating in the air like Mo Li's soul. Better yet, he could move his body effortlessly with just his Will.

He expressed surprise and retreated about ten meters away. While the soul or ghost of Mo Li was staring at her own body, he scanned the system and finally discovered two unread messages; one of it was the notification of the accomplished mission.

”Current Mission: D-level Mission: Puppet Master – Locate and kill the mysterious mind controller” ”Duration: Five days”

”Mission Status: Completed”

”Remarks: Perfect”

”Character: Luo Yuan”

”Completion: 100%”

”Rewarded Basic EXP +9600*100%”

”Remarks: Perfect, EXP +9600*100%”

”EXP: 43920/153600”

Luo Yuan only scanned through briefly, as he required more EXP to level up. Besides, a D-level mission would not meet the requirements to level up, even if he scored a ‘perfect’ score in the remarks. Either way, he had a long way to go before he could level up.

What caught Luo Yuan’s attention was the second message.

Point added to your Will while defending against the mental attack; your Will +1

After a point was added, he had a total of 17 points for his Will. The effects of such a high amount of Will was that he could remove the effects of the earth’s gravity and fly in the air if he focused. A sliver of joy flashed through him and immediately, his emotions began to stabilize.

After all, it was not the right time to be distracted.

With that thought in mind, he landed onto the floor once more and felt slightly relieved. After all, he was a person who practiced a kind of martial art that was particular about the earth being used as the source of energy and power, hence, he felt insecure about being in the air.

Finally, Mo Li reacted by shifting her focus from her body, looked up and stared blankly at Luo Yuan.

She suddenly opened her mouth but before Luo Yuan could cast his doubts, his mind came to replay a subtle voice of Mo Li. The voice appeared to be silent and was deathly still, as if she was both complaining and crying.

”Were you the person who killed me?”

If Luo Yuan was a commoner, he would have peed in his pants. However, he was not frightened as he had met such an enemy before. He wasn't interested in physical immunity as he did not have much of a defensive ability from his aura and Will. The only concern he had from this encounter was the mental attacks from her. However, since he had already killed her, how could he be afraid of the dead?

Indifferent and cold, he said, ”Who else other than myself, is standing here before you?”

When Luo Yuan stayed alert, Mo Li voice was unexpectedly heard again, ”Then you should know me. Who are you? And…who am I?” Her face became confused again like she had lost her memory.

Luo Yuan hesitated for a moment, before he told her the truth, ”I’m Luo Yuan and you’re Mo Li!”

”Luo Yuan and Mo Li… that sounds familiar. Yes, I’m Mo Li!” she seemed to be deep in thoughts, and stood there in a trance for a few seconds. Out of a sudden, she looked at Luo Yuan with surprise and asked, ”What are you doing here, who are you?”

Luo Yuan felt strange and answered again, ”Luo Yuan!”

”What a familiar name… how did you die?”

Luo Yuan said nothing but he knew what was happening. After a while, as expected, she seemed to have seen Luo Yuan for the first time again and said something similar.
