Chapter 551: Envious Talents (1/2)

”I was just checking to see if your body has fully recovered or not...”

”Why do you need to check? Can't I check myself? If I didn't wake up in time, would you have peeked under my skirts for your so-called 'inspection' too? Animal.” Duna coldly snickered.

Leon's eyes and lips twitched like he had just taken critical damage.

It was not the first time he was called an animal by Duna, but why were her words so jarring that it shot straight through his heart this time around?

”Of course not! You are falsely accusing me!” Leon defended his honor, ”I would never do such a thing, not without receiving consent!”

”Hmph!” Duna did not plan on listening to his nonsense and coldly asked, ”How long are you planning to hold onto my arm.”

Once Duna spoke these words, Leon immediately released his hands with an embarrassed and awkward expression.

”Ahem, I forgot.”

”Sure!” Duna rolled her eyes before getting up into a seated position. After shooting Leon a fierce glare, she spat, ”Don't bother me.”

Shortly after, Duna closed her eyes and entered a state of meditative focus, performing introspection.

Leon smiled wryly and scratched his cheeks before standing up. However, he suddenly felt lightheaded and staggered.

”It seems spiritual intimacy with Duna wasn't exactly beneficial for me...” Leon furrowed his brows before we went to find a spot on the grassy fields outside of the herbal garden and sat down in meditation.

Shortly after he began self-introspection, he entered his sea of consciousness and sailed directly towards the Black Vortex Space with his condensed spiritual avatar.

Nothing seemed to have changed inside the Black Vortex Space—nothing except his Soul core looking a little fainter than usual.

”My Soul Energy has been drained...” Leon was momentarily silent at this realization before he broke into cold sweats, ”No wonder my divine sense felt weaker. If we had continued going at it for a few more rounds, I might have been put into eternal sleep...”

”Now I know how Duna was able to recover their body. My body and soul were reforged into the Five-Element Body and Soul from practicing the [Hegemon of Primal Chaos] technique...” Leon muttered.

As such, pseudo-Grandmist Energy traces were incorporated into every part of his being, and they are further enhanced after pseudo-Grandmist Energy tempering through Primordial Body Cultivation.

”I didn't expect Duna was able to absorb the Soul Energy and pseudo-Grandmist Energy integrated into my spiritual avatar... Did Duna know about this--that's why she stop?” Leon thought.

However, after a moment, he felt like an idiot for thinking that and shelved the thought, ”Nah... probably not...”

Nevertheless, Leon could not help but frown.

He thought Duna's recovery was attributed to the benefits of dual cultivation, but it seems dual cultivation benefits did not apply to spiritual pleasure. But then again, Leon felt like that made even less sense, considering the nature of the benefits.

So then, where was the problem?

Leon's frown deepened, thinking that perhaps, Duna's Devil Soul Fragment really did belong to a powerful succubus demon in the distant past.

”Hm?”

Suddenly, Leon notice traces of soft white lights flowing out from his spiritual avatar before they were directly devoured by the Black Vortex.

Shortly after, streams of Law Fragments were spat out after completing their refinement.
