Chapter 444: Tempering the Soul
When one zombie king realized that Zhang Mu was a tough opponent it couldn’t handle, the other one reluctantly intervened. Normally, it would have been pleased to have its rival defeated by Zhang Mu.
But now it can’t control itself, it even suppresses its own kind’s nature, as shown by the million-strong zombie army this ti, indicating how much control people behind it have over it.
While he was thinking, his body’s warning system had already sent him a warning ssage.
Indeed, it was now up to him.
Two ntal pressures were heading towards Zhang Mu from front and back, and at the sa ti, two guards protecting the zombie king completely surrounded Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu dared not unleash Blood Lotus to cause trouble this ti, instead focusing on maintaining the Blood Vine Cage.
Sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Blood Vine Cage, Zhang Mu faced these two terrifying pressures.
Outnumbered and with high-level ntal strength, when the two forces touched Zhang Mu, his mind felt a sharp pain, and his ntal shield did not fully block it.
Squeezed from front and back, Zhang Mu felt like his brain was being flattened under imnse pressure. He had now fully devoted his mind to resisting the ntal pressures from the two zombie kings.
In his current state, he couldn’t feel anything outside, not even the sounds of hundreds of zombies tearing at the outer edges of the Blood Lotus, and could only hold onto his own beliefs, not daring to use his mind for anything else.
Zhang Mu felt like he had turned into a small bean, being crushed by grinding stones wanting to turn him into powder.
It was very painful, making Zhang Mu unable to think clearly, barely holding onto his last bit of consciousness.
If even that awareness was taken away, he feared he wouldn’t wake up again.
Every push from the two zombie kings made Zhang Mu feel like he was being crushed into powder, but with determination, he barely managed to survive each ti.
The pain was deep in his soul, so Zhang Mu started thinking of happy things to distract himself.
He rembered the leisure ti he spent playing with Blood Lotus Obsidian Beetle and a wolfdog, feeling content.
Thinking of the joyful electric feeling from kissing Yuan Rui.
Picturing his future self playing with bags of elental crystals, feeling satisfied.
He recalled every mory that brought joy to him, repeating them to distract himself from the pain caused by the zombie king’s soul pressure.
At first, it worked, but as ti passed, the zombie king’s ntal pressure grew heavier. They had given up controlling the zombie horde, letting them act freely with the firm intention of killing Zhang Mu.
Although they couldn’t understand why this strange human had not lost consciousness yet, they had not reached their limit. It seed like they were just warming up earlier, and now they were gradually increasing their strength.
“Ouch!”
Zhang Mu was beginning to struggle, feeling his will starting to weaken.
“Can’t relax, if it fades, I’ll die!”
Zhang Mu repeated this sentence indefinitely, reminding himself, who was already numb and considering giving up, not to surrender.
Zhang Mu’s willpower balled up, enveloped by a thin ntal shield that was growing tighter.
Without even realizing it, Zhang Mu’s ntal strength was slowly concentrating due to the lack of dispersal, like a raw gemstone. The ntal pressure from the two zombie kings was like a hamr forging away at the impurities within his ntal power.
Because Zhang Mu held onto his true self, the limit of pressure he could endure increased gradually in line with the opponent’s rise in strength.
His ntal power beca purer and more solid, even surpassing the second-rank level!
The two zombie kings were actually helping Zhang Mu refine his soul, improving the quality of his ntal power at a flying speed!
In the end, Zhang Mu had forgotten what pain was, where he was, and even who he was.
In the blank of his mory, there was a shining black triangular crystal, shimring. Only in this state of forgetfulness could Zhang Mu rember this thing that brought him back to the present.
He wanted to gently touch the floating object in the air, feeling a familiar warmth, like the caring connection of a mother’s blood.
“So warm, so comfortable.”
These were the thoughts that Zhang Mu murmured from deep within his consciousness.
Just then, a phoenix cry broke his trance, snapping him back to reality. The compressed pain of his ntal power rushed back like a tide, making him sweat profusely as if he had just erged from a stear.
“These two beasts are really strong. I almost died here.”
Zhang Mu stood up with the help of Blood Lotus. He knew Yuan Rui must be outside, but she would have trouble dealing with both zombie kings on her own.
“Open the Blood Vine cage,” whispered Zhang Mu weakly to Blood Lotus.
Blood Lotus imdiately brought Zhang Mu back to consciousness. He saw the Obsidian Beetle and Yuan Rui guarding him, and his feeling of exhaustion was slowly fading.
Yuan Rui was in a precarious situation. If one of the zombie kings hadn’t focused its ntal power on suppressing the Obsidian Beetle, Yuan Rui would have been in great danger.
Despite that, Yuan Rui had already bitten her lips. Her soul fla failed to ignite for the first ti, as the ntal power of the two zombie kings was unique and couldn’t be burned by her soul fla.
Seeing Zhang Mu erge from the Blood Vine cage, Yuan Rui managed a faint smile on her face, but she was unable to ask about Zhang Mu’s condition.
“I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Yuan Rui felt relieved after hearing Zhang Mu’s words. The Obsidian Beetle quickly flew back to the city to bring Yuan Rui back. Zhang Mu believed Yuan Rui’s soul fla could be very useful in that situation, so he asked her to stay.
Zhang Mu slowly placed his hand on Yuan Rui’s trembling shoulder and infused his ntal power into her body.
But even Zhang Mu himself didn’t know how pure his spiritual power was now. He simply thought that his spiritual power had been greatly depleted, leaving only this little bit.
Just as Zhang Mu’s condensed spiritual power was being absorbed by Yuan Rui, a loud phoenix cry suddenly ca from Yuan Rui’s body!
The fire phoenix appeared again!
Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui were both stunned when they saw its body, as if sothing extrely unbelievable had happened.
This ti, the fire phoenix was almost completely materialized!
