On the battlefield, I've killed enemies many tis, but I'm quite unfamiliar with the task of defection. Hearing Little Bowl suggest this direction, I imdiately beca interested and asked, "Defection... how exactly do you plan to do it?"
To facilitate ease and efficiency, our communication is conducted through telepathy. Even so, Little Bowl's ntal processing speed is still nowhere near mine at this mont. To keep up, Little Bowl first initiated a request for spiritual synchronization with on the ntal level.
After I agreed, it was like she caught a ride, and her ntal processing speed also accelerated dramatically. A significant portion of the thought process wasn't running within her consciousness but was utilizing my ntal resources. This allowed to understand what she wanted to express as soon as she thought of it.
"Mr. No.1 Xugou and Mr. Yuchi have sothing in common, which is that they both fight for their deceased loved ones. Their difference lies in that Mr. Yuchi doesn't intend to resurrect his wife, whereas Mr. Xugou is eager to et his loved one again, willing to pay any price," Little Bowl explained in the state of spiritual synchronization, "and I can help him with that."
"Are you saying... spirit communication?" I asked, "Do you intend to summon that research scientist nad Ai Ye into the real world?"
"Unlike the Great Unpredictable Qilin, the female research scientist who loved Mr. Xugou is just an ordinary person. As long as there is an appropriate dium, it is not only easy to complete spirit communication but also possible to fully resurrect her with the power of Great Impermanence," Little Bowl said, "Mr. Xugou himself possesses the mana to resurrect her; however, he is completely ignorant of mysticism and lacks the technical thods. It's like having plenty of wood and a full set of woodworking tools, yet being unable to satisfactorily build a house and furniture.
"We not only possess ample mana but also the 'professional ability' that ets Mr. Xugou's needs. The thod he must exchange using the Divine Seal Fragnt to reunite with his loved one, we can directly provide it.
"Even the dium is ready, which is Mr. Xugou's own body.
"During the ti when he was at the Great Success Rank, his body was full of imperfections and restrictions due to implants and limitations by the Human Bureau. It was by relying on the female researcher's body that he achieved rebirth. After becoming a Void Envoy, he gained the power of Great Unpredictable with the help of the Divine Seal Fragnt...
"In other words, the body he currently uses is a perfect dium for spirit communication. Mr. Yuchi's token of affection with the Great Unpredictable Qilin is far inferior in dium strength than this."
On one hand, the resurrection difficulty is extrely low, and on the other, the communication dium is extrely strong...
This ti's spirit communication seems trendously easier compared to last ti's with the Great Unpredictable Qilin, and it seems only a nod from Xugou would be enough to revive the target.
However, can we really resurrect the research scientist Ai Ye so easily? Admittedly, rely resurrecting an ordinary person is effortless from the standpoint of Great Impermanence. As long as the right thod is mastered, even if not at the level of Great Unpredictable, a Great Success Rank should also be able to achieve it.
Because of this, I instead feel that this matter is not so simple. "As long as the correct thod is mastered"—this principle is presumably understood by Xugou as well. And now, after so much ti has passed, to say that Xugou, who is willing to do anything to resurrect his loved one, still hasn't found any related clues until today, only relying on the Dream Realm Technique, truly underestimates Xugou.
Xugou indeed doesn't give the impression of being a character known for wit and intelligence, but he is not entirely mindless either. Based on his demonstrated action towards his heart's desire and the enormous mana he possesses, most things could be achieved to a certain level. Since there is still no progress, it can only indicate the existence of so barriers that he also can't overco.
"So... how do you see it, Xugou?" I looked at my enemy, "You've heard the conversation just now, haven't you?"
In the perception at the level of Great Impermanence, like in the spirit realm and taphysical domain, many seemingly hidden mystical things are laid bare. Although my communication with Little Bowl was achieved in the spirit realm, and I am capable of hiding it, it seems that Little Bowl consciously allowed Xugou to browse this "communication channel" information, so I went along with it.
Although Xugou is an artificial Great Unpredictable and differs from a true Great Unpredictable in so aspects, in terms of the range of perception capabilities, he is not much different in nature from this side. Especially in battle, his silvery gold elent mana seems to temporarily refine his perception abilities to be sharper than usual.
"You truly underestimate ..." Xugou said gloomily, "Defect ? Discussing it right in front of , purposely letting hear?
"Do you really think I'm entirely clueless, and can easily be deceived by you? Ai Ye's soul has completely disappeared, how could you possibly communicate with or revive her?"
I said, "An object whose soul is completely shattered isn't impossible to resurrect, and there are relevant thods that exist. You are very familiar with Ying Lingyun; didn't he also work on reviving Yinyue, whose soul was shattered? You surely would have investigated such knowledge?"
"It's precisely because I've investigated it thoroughly that I can affirm... reviving Ai Ye is impossible!" Xugou's voice beca very excited.
The silvery beams he continuously fired also seed to resonate with his emotions, becoming more violent and ferocious, yet their accuracy increased instead of dropping. The mana he possesses evidently has the attribute of enhancing all combat-related abilities the more active it becos. This is the sa as the White Tiger Killing Power that I know of.
As battle ti prolonged, his strength doesn't decrease; instead, it sharpens more and more. In just this brief period, he beca one or two levels stronger compared to when he first struck. If nothing unexpected happens, he still has a lot of room for improvent. Therefore, he doesn't seem too anxious to decide the victor.
At this stage, hitting remains quite difficult for him. I evaded his assaults while using Fla Magic Power to counter the lightning strikes from ng Zhang's incarnations that attacked from different directions. On the other hand, I kept observing the final source of mana fluctuations in the distance.
The Water Master Xuanwu has still not reached this battlefield; it seems even if more ti passes, he won't make it. The illusory chaotic Space-Ti Maze is clearly impeding the Water Master Xuanwu's movent greatly. Xugou definitely has the privilege of freely navigating this space-ti setting, whereas the other side doesn't have such convenient conditions.
This allows to more focusedly deal with Xugou and the five ng Zhang incarnations simultaneously.
"So... you heard it too, Little Bowl, Xugou hasn't given up on fighting," I said.
Little Bowl briefly paused, then said, "If that's the case... is it possible, without killing Mr. Xugou, to capture him, and then personally demonstrate the possibility of reuniting him with his loved one using my spirit communication ability? Perhaps indeed there's so kind of obstacle to his resurrection, but I have an alternative solution 'equivalent to resurrecting him.'
Is it because Xugou once showed kindness to Little Bowl in the Void Realm, that she didn't want to see him killed by ? I had such a thought, but through spiritual synchronization, I could perceive Little Bowl's current state of mind.
She had feelings of gratitude for Xugou's past verbal cover, and indeed a thought of helping Xugou. But, as it's who is practically required to make tactical compromises amidst life-and-death combat, she didn't let her subjective emotions interfere with her present decision-making.
Many tis, Little Bowl shows a gentle and kind side to , but that is limited to important relationships such as , Mazao, and Zhu Shi. When dealing with others, she often exhibits the character of a doomsday survivor, with a rational, calm, even cold, and ruthless deanor. At this mont, she was also thinking about how to pull Xugou, this Great Unpredictable level of combat power, over to our camp.
Right now, in our camp, aside from , the Great Unpredictable, there are also Zhu Shi, who is about to master Great Unpredictable level combat power, and Mazao, who has hopes of accessing world destiny vortex power after their soul is completely repaired. Adding Xugou might an having four Great Unpredictables in the future.
This doesn't just provide a nurical advantage in the upcoming confrontation with the Evangelical Institute, but even later, if Gua Tianshi, Fa Zheng, Jian Feixian, and the others beco adversaries over the Divine Seal issue, we would have more combat power than them.
Little Bowl has already considered future matters.
"...That's the situation, Brother Zhuang Cheng. Are you confident in first making Mr. Xugou our captive?" Little Bowl asked in spiritual synchronization.
"Not confident," I replied, "rely ensuring your safety while fighting against him and five ng Zhang incarnations simultaneously is already giving a splitting headache. To spare Xugou... I might not be able to protect you."
"However, it's not entirely without confidence... right?" Little Bowl calmly analyzed, "Sixty, even seventy percent... you actually have more than a fifty percent chance of safeguarding . And even if you can't protect , you have the confidence to defeat Mr. Xugou and the five ng Zhang incarnations without being injured... Brother Zhuang Cheng, I hope you can take a gamble here."
"I don't think Xugou holds that kind of value," I said.
