Chapter 7 - Soul Manipulation (2/2)

The stone pier suddenly flew up and stopped in mid-air in front of Zhong Yue. His soul manipulated the stone, and as his soul flew upward, the stone followed as well. This was also one of the tricks used by the upper house disciples in combat. The stronger the soul, the heavier the items the soul could lift.

In theory, if the soul was strong enough, one could lift a mountain and fly it around, possibly even using it to eradicate a city!

However, this was ultimately just the theory of it.

Among the upper house disciples, one could be considered as good if they could lift up anything that was a thousand kilograms. Besides, manipulating heavy items and using them as a form of attack was one of the lousiest ways to fight. Usually, the upper house disciples would control powerful weapons and engrave various totem carvings on them. Therefore, as soon as one's soul manipulated the weapon, one could maneuver it with incredible mobility and at astonishing speeds!

Hu-hu-hu——

In the garden, the soul-manipulated stone swiftly flew up and down. Suddenly, Zhong Yue lost control of it, and it slammed into the ornamental rock mountain. Shockingly, the rock mountain was smashed in half, and one of those halves fell into the water!

Swords Gate have their own soul techniques to control weapons, they are all unique and have quintessences of their own. Unlike my cumbersome method that could easily lose control like just now, only by practicing such techniques will I be able to unleash its full potential.

He stood there and pondered for a moment and said, In order to obtain such techniques, I have to be taught by someone. The house manager said there will be Qi Practitioners coming to take in disciples, but why has no one come to me yet?

He didn't overthink the matter, and he activated the [Jiao Dragon Winding Body Totem Art]. As his psyche was spurred into action, a dragon claw formed and it eventually grew into an entire Jiao Dragon that coiled around Zhong Yue's body.

After that, a ferocious Jiao Dragon head slowly rose up from his back and stared cruelly ahead; its two front claws grabbed onto Zhong Yue's shoulders.

Instantly, he felt an immense strength surging into his arms.

The hind claw of the Jiao Dragon clung onto Zhong Yue's legs, making him feel the explosive force and speed of a dragon.

He visually measured his arms and legs in disbelief. The Jiao Dragon that winded around his body, arms and legs felt so real. The dragon's body even slithered around slowly, and the dragon whiskers hung down from the dragon's head that was hanging in front of Zhong Yue.

He felt like he was really being wound by a ferocious dragon and felt its power combining with his own!

"Cultivating the [Jiao Dragon Winding Body Totem Art] to such a level, perhaps I have reached the highest level of it already?" mumbled Zhong Yue.

"You still have a long way to go."

Suddenly, he heard Xin Huo's voice, and Zhong Yue immediately felt pleased. A flame floated out from the lamp placed in the training room. The flame then grew out small arms and legs and a red-haired head that was out of proportion – it was Xin Huo!

"Your [Jiao Dragon Winding Body Totem Art] is still weak. You have only the skin of the Jiao Dragon. You lack the innards or even the spirit of the Jiao Dragon."

Xin Huo jumped onto Zhong Yue and walked into the dragon's mouth and around all of the Jiao Dragon's body and said, "Look at this, your Jiao Dragon totem has only the skin. There are no muscles, veins or internal organs. With only what you have now, you could only unleash a little portion of the Jiao Dragon's true strength. Your totem would also not emit the aura of a Jiao Dragon, which is why you are still far from mastering this technique. To reach the absolute limit of this technique, you must capture a live Jiao Dragon. Then, you have to dissect it and research its muscles, veins, bones and the internal organ structures along with the spirituality of the Jiao Dragon."

Zhong Yue laughed and said, "If I could really capture a living Jiao Dragon, would I even still need to cultivate this technique?"

"Well, that's true."

Xin Huo gave it a thought and agreed, "However, if you are the pure-blood descendant of the Fuxi Celestial Race, just by emitting your aura you could make the Jiao Dragons bow before you for your research, not to mention capturing them ... Huh? The aura of the Fuxi Celestial Race... and there's so many of them! Go, go, go! Bring me out quickly!"

Zhong Yue dispersed his psyche, and Xin Huo quickly dived into his psyche ocean and said in a rush, "If I still can't find a pure-blood descendant to pass down the heritage of Xin Huo, I'm afraid that I will extinguish forever. There are so many people here. Maybe I could find a pure-blood descendant!"

Zhong Yue brought him out of the courtyard, and many upper house disciples could be seen going to the upper house's Knowledge Teaching Pavilion, maybe some Qi Practitioners came down to impart knowledge to the disciples.

Why is there still no one who came to teach me ?, Zhong Yue could only feel even more depressed as he saw some of the outer disciples that had passed the test at the same time as him heading to the pavilion.

Xin Huo looked outside through the eyes of Zhong Yue and said, "Not a pure-blood, not a pure-blood, not a pure-blood… What happened to the Fuxi Celestial Race? There's not even a single pure-blood among these thousands of people, and they are even far worse than you! Let's go to that side; there appears to be quite a lot of people there; maybe I will find a pure-blood there!"

Zhong Yue also thought of going to the pavilion and asked the person in charge of the matter of no Qi Practitioner teaching him. When he got close to the pavilion, two rays of light flew across, and two totem pillars landed at the front and back of Zhong Yue!

As soon as the totem pillars landed, a pressured force suddenly impacted upon Zhong Yue, nailing him to the spot!

"Zhong Shan Clan, Zhong Yue? It seems like you've grown fatter, I almost couldn't recognize you."

An upper house disciple then walked forward, and after measuring Zhong Yue, he suddenly raised his leg and cruelly swung toward Zhong Yue's knees. He laughed and said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong Yue, although we have yet to meet and there are no unhappy experiences between us, I am still doing this as you have mocked my teacher's face. You brought this upon yourself! By the way, my teacher's first name is Tian. For that, I would have to ask you to kneel outside of the pavilion for a couple of hours!"
