Chapter 41 – The Soul Attachment of a Silver Dragon (II)
The cyan light surrounding her body transitioned back to violet while the magical elements in the air once again intensified. Lisha's killing intent was broadcasted clearly all over her face as she lifted her right hand. Her mind was currently in an extremely bitter struggle. If she killed him right now, no one would know she had once lost to him. With his strength, it was basically impossible for him to resist her Violet Rank magical attack. Perhaps she would only need the simplest magic spell to finish him off.
Ye Yin Zhu's face was completely contorted in pain, already having difficulty speaking at this moment. His black eyes, however, were still firmly fixated on Lisha, his resolute and dedicated gaze staring straight into Lisha's violet eyes. Even if his body was extremely weak from the overconsumption of his spiritual force, his back was still ramrod straight, resembling a proud and aloof bamboo.
Lisha waved her hand. A dazzling violet light dropped from the sky in response and transformed into a meter-wide pillar of light, enveloping Ye Yin Zhu's body completely. Was this destructive? No, this was absolutely not a destructive light. Instead, it was the sacred power of light.
A comforting, gentle aura poured into Ye Yin Zhu's body; it felt like he was receiving the greatest comfort possible. In an instant, all the agonizing pain quietly disappeared like spinning silk from coc.o.o.ns. Apart from the residual effects caused by the Nine Needle Great Soul Stimulation Technique, Ye Yin Zhu's body had unexpectedly been completely healed in a split second, including the tremendous expenditure of dou qi.
”Great Recovery of Sacred Protection Technique.” Ye Yin Zhu stared at Lisha in astonishment.
Lisha's lips rose slightly, a stubborn expression gracing her attractive face. ”A dragon's promise is never broken. A loss is a loss. I want to ask you a question, though.”
Ye Yin Zhu nodded and said, ”Ask.”
Lisha's gaze gentled slightly. ”Earlier, why did you let your own body to hit the ground when we were falling from the sky? If you didn't do so, you wouldn't have sustained injuries. You were that certain I would concede?”
Ye Yin Zhu sighed lightly. ”When all's said and done, you are still a girl, even if you're of the dragon race. If you didn't force the issue, I wouldn't even fight you. Since I already won, why further harm you? A few days previously, I had read a book which said, 'A man should have the elegance of a gentleman.'”
Lisha bit her lip. ”You b.a.s.t.a.r.d.” A sphere of violet light burst forth from between her eyebrows. With a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, the violet light entered the s.p.a.ce between Ye Yin Zhu's eyebrows in an instant.
Ye Yin Zhu's vision darkened. He felt as if he had already entered a world of violet. The powerless feeling of being devoid of spiritual force, brought about by the Nine Needle Great Soul Stimulation Technique, disappeared in a flash. Instead, his spiritual ocean became rich as a tremendous spiritual aura caused his Spiritual Imprint to enlarge as well. A bridge-like connection established in his mind instantly. Although it wasn't as clear and as firm as the connection between him and Zi, this bridge allowed him to sense a magical aura br.i.m.m.i.n.g with power.
”d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I'll come find you again after ten days. Although you are capable of summoning me, you shouldn't count on me helping you with anything.” Her voice gradually grew faint as she withdrew farther away, disappearing once her final word echoed through the air. Ye Yin Zhu's mind recovered, becoming clear-headed again.
His surroundings were still dense forestry, the sky still dark as small snowflakes began to slowly drift down from the sky. It caused the air to become significantly fresher, cleaner. The remnants of Lisha's scent had long disappeared, but Ye Yin Zhu's ear still rang with her resentful, indignant voice. Mumbling to himself, he said aloud, ”How come when she cursed that I was a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, her tone resembles Grandma Nina's when she cursed at Grandfather Qin?”
Tossing his head back, Ye Yin Zhu laughed lightly. Today's harvest had truly been very plentiful. Not only did he find a way to improve the power of his sound blades, he had also gotten a fully mature Silver Dragon's Soul Attachment. Soul Attachment, apart from allowing him to summon Lisha to his side, had an even greater, immediate benefit--it offsetted the side effects of the Nine Needle Great Soul Stimulation Technique and even a.s.sisted his breakthrough past the bottleneck of the Courageous Zither Heart Level 2 to Level 3. A Silver Dragon's spiritual force was indeed powerful! Although Lisha was quite haughty, to him, she was still a good girl.
When he had fallen to the ground just a moment ago, his body had hardened. He presumed that it was Zi's power that was seemingly shrouding him in a layer of jeweled amethyst. That was why he had still been able to subdue Lisha even after a drop from a height of twenty meters.
After dealing with Lisha's disturbance, Ye Yin Zhu was no longer in the mood to practice his sound blades. His body rose and headed in the direction of Milan Inst.i.tution for Magic and Martial Arts.
✶
This was a chamber, a completely isolated chamber. On all four walls of the chamber, dark blue gems were inlaid, emitting a faint radiance. Although the temperature here wasn't very cold, the ambiance was chilling and hauntingly sinister.
To the side wall of the chamber, a tall man sat atop a gigantic throne. Because of the dim lighting, his appearance was difficult to distinguish. At this moment, his right hand was rapping a rhythm against the armrest of his throne.
