Chapter 65 Sloth
Only B-rank Sentinels can awaken a spiritual entity.
It is possible that He Xiang unleashed his physical potential during the life-or-death moment of his fight with the mutated wild boar.
When faced with a crisis, the sentinel's physical functions undergo a sudden change, which in turn triggers the awakening of the spiritual body.
In short, He Xiang broke through from a C-level Sentinel to a B-level Sentinel.
but……
He Xiang's mental state seems somewhat different.
So he hasn't discovered it until now.
Cheng Dongshu, the town's only B-level sentry, recently received orders to clear out the mutants in the vicinity after joining the patrol team.
None of the remaining sentries in the town knew about the process of spiritual awakening.
Since there had never been a precedent of a sentry breach in the town before, everyone assumed that He Xiang's mental abnormalities after his injury were due to a mental problem.
He Xiang looked somewhat bewildered. "Sister Yun Zhao, are you saying that I have my own spiritual body now?"
Awakening his spiritual form meant he had become a Rank B Sentinel...
Yun Zhao: "Mm."
This ward is a general surgery ward, and almost all the patients lying in the beds have suffered external injuries, including some low-ranking sentries.
Hearing the two talking, they all looked at He Xiang with envy.
Breaking through levels is extremely difficult; each advancement feels like crossing an insurmountable chasm.
Generally speaking, sentries are easier to break through than guides.
Sentinels constantly face danger in battle, hovering on the edge of life and death, which is how they might unleash their physical potential.
Many people never break through this barrier in their entire lives.
This silly kid is really lucky, he broke through just by catching a mutated wild boar?
Not to mention, he also has a female guide.
Those are rare and precious guides!
Yun Zhao slowly released his spiritual form and said, "The scene you dreamed about is probably your spiritual realm. The little guy has just awakened. You can try to summon it."
A spiritual connection should have been established.
As for why He Xiang didn't notice it immediately.
She didn't quite understand either.
A bluish-green fluorescence entered his mental core, guiding him to experience his own mental body.
He Xiang subconsciously closed his eyes and did as Sister Yun Zhao said.
He followed the direction of the spiritual threads, entering his own spiritual realm to perceive his own spiritual body...
The entire ward fell silent.
The patients lying on the hospital beds, oblivious to their physical pain, craned their necks and stared longingly into the distance.
This is a scene you might only witness once in your lifetime.
But what are those green fluorescent lights?
A guide capable of guiding B-level sentinels—this silly boy's sister must be of a very high level.
Perhaps he is an even rarer A-level guide.
They couldn't afford a guide, and it was a rare opportunity to observe and learn in person. They wanted to observe carefully, hoping to use the knowledge to make breakthroughs in the future.
Cheng Dongqing stood there dumbfounded, not daring to utter a sound to disturb him.
As for He Xiang's mother, upon hearing this wonderful news, she was both happy and worried, looking at her son on the sickbed with a concerned expression.
I don't know how much time passed.
He Xiang finally opened his eyes, a radiant smile spreading across his face. He exclaimed excitedly, "I felt it! I really felt its presence! Sister Yun Zhao, it's amazing!"
He was completely immersed in an atmosphere of extreme joy.
That was his spiritual body...
He has his own fighting partner now!
"Um."
Yun Zhao's reaction was quite calm: "Summon the little guy, let me see it."
The little guy only awakened after his main body was injured.
Going in might scare the blue phoenix into a bad mood; it's better to call it out and check it before we can be at ease.
He Xiang nodded quickly, "Okay!"
He closed his eyes and used the spiritual connection to communicate with his spiritual self.
The once noisy ward became unusually quiet, with everyone holding their breath and anticipating the appearance of the newly awakened spiritual entity.
Even ordinary people who cannot see the spirit body cannot help but turn their heads to look.
A minute passed.
Nothing unusual happened in the surroundings.
Yun Zhao waited patiently.
Even the impatient little bluebird stood on the main body's head, curiously staring at the hospital bed.
Five more minutes passed...
The ward remained completely silent, with no sign of the spirit entity. Everyone in the ward waited anxiously.
"What's wrong? Why doesn't it want to come out?" Yun Zhao asked, puzzled.
He Xiang shook his head. "No, it's happy to come out and take a look."
What about the spiritual entity?
The sentry in the next bed couldn't help but interject, "Little brother, call it out quickly, let us all see it."
"Haha, maybe he's shy because there are so many people here."
"Do spiritual beings also know how to feel shy?"
Some people have raised questions.
He Xiang quickly explained, "It's almost here, it's on its way out..."
However, fifteen minutes passed.
There was still no movement in the ward.
Several sentries, their bodies wrapped in bandages, who were a little further away, strained to see what was happening for a while, only to find their necks aching...
The little bluebird flapped its wings impatiently, and its curiosity gradually faded away as time went by.
I went in and caught it.
Yun Zhao also lost his patience.
Could it be that there's something wrong with his mental body?
Yun Zhao was preparing to make a move.
The next moment.
A sloth spirit, amidst much anticipation and the watchful eyes of the crowd, slowly crawled out of the spiritual realm and landed on the hospital bed.
It lazily extended one of its paws slowly.
His eyes were half-open and half-closed, and every movement was like a slow-motion replay in a movie.
The surrounding sentries: "..."
Sloth?
So, it took this guy almost twenty minutes just to climb out of the mental realm?
Those around who could see the spirit changed their expressions from anticipation to barely suppressed laughter.
If it weren't for the guide being there, and the fear of offending him, everyone would probably have burst out laughing on the spot.
Only He Xiang was extremely happy and boasted, "Sister Yun Zhao, look! This is my spiritual body!"
Yun Zhao stared at the slow-moving sloth, remained silent for two seconds, and nodded: "I saw it, that's good."
The little guy is healthy and adorable.
If danger arises in the future, it's possible that the battle will be over before this guy has even crawled out of his mental state.
But at least it's a spiritual entity.
Sentinels who have awakened their spiritual bodies will have a physique and physical abilities several times stronger than before.
After confirming that He Xiang was alright, Yun Zhao turned to inquire about the medical expenses.
Aunt Liu was relieved and sat at the foot of the bed to continue weaving straw sandals. "You don't need to worry about these things. They hunted that wild boar and sold it for a lot of points."
The weather is hot.
The search team took the remaining unsold meat back to the community and distributed some to each household.
As she spoke, Aunt Liu held up the straw sandals she was halfway through weaving and told Yun Zhao, "These necessities sell very well at the base; we sell them for 15 points a pair..."
There were also many stalls selling straw sandals at the trading area.
People in town have gone to see it, and depending on the quality of the craftsmanship, the price ranges from 10 to 30 points.
Those expensive straw sandals are indeed more exquisitely woven than the ones they sell.
After some discussion, the townspeople finally decided to price the shoes at 15 points each.
Aunt Liu said, "So Zhaozhao, you don't need to worry about us. You go and do your thing. We can take care of ourselves."
Qingshan Town is relatively isolated from the outside world, and its people are simple and honest.
For decades, we have relied on mutual help and support to get through the most difficult and darkest period.
It is precisely because of this simple, honest, and kind nature.
Eight sentries retrieved Yun Zhao.
After they passed away, the townspeople treated the little girl they had watched grow up as part of the town and raised her to adulthood.
Yun Zhao pursed her lips and said, "I understand. Then I'll be going now, Auntie."
Aunt Liu didn't even look up. "Go ahead."
"Um."
Before leaving, Yun Zhao glanced at He Xiang on the hospital bed and warned, "Unless the doctor says you're discharged early, you'd better stay in the hospital. If I find out you dare to leave early, you'll never be able to leave again."
He Xiang nodded vigorously.
His sloth spirit form still maintains the same posture it had when it first appeared.
