Chapter 95 So Strong

.

"...Give me the knife." He Jingtong supported the expedition team leader's body with one hand and stood up.

The blood from the wound on his forehead once again obscured his vision. Compared to the ordinary figure holding Ming Jiuguan in front of him, what He Jingtong should have been more concerned about was the A-level spirit.

But in fact, he couldn't take his eyes off the person with his back to him.

The chaotic feeling brought by excessive blood loss also made his brain think uncontrollably: "At this moment, turning around and running away without caring about everything is the best way to deal with it."

"Who wants to put their chance of survival in the hands of others?"

Another team member raised his voice, but he did not vent his anger at He Jingtong by roaring. Instead, he said, "You are already injured like this, why are you still holding a knife?"

"At least...believe, believe in you, sir."

Although his tone was full of uncertainty, he had no intention of pushing the boy out to face it.

He Jingtong looked at him blankly, and as if he had just realized what was on his mind, he spoke out what was on his mind.

In his sight, the boy could only see the rough outlines of these people, but he could not see the courage in their eyes, nor could he understand how magnificent the strength was that allowed them to stand up in the face of fear and terror...

All He Jingtong could see clearly was the omnipresent indigo mist.

The rain from the sky finally fell at this time.

The monster, who could only be seen by the psychic, raised its mouth, and uttered a mocking and sharp remark: "I will kill these people. I will make them... die in front of you."

No matter how intermittent the sound was, it could not conceal its malice.

But this time, He Jingtong no longer suppressed all his thoughts in his heart, but said in a low voice: "You can't do it."

"They are much stronger than I thought."

Between raising a knife to face the invisible monster and running away with a trekking pole, how could the expedition members who chose the former not know that the danger of staying behind would be greater?

They stayed because they didn't want the five of them to flee separately, leaving a few lucky ones to survive. They stayed because they hoped to provide a little insignificant strength to the desperate young man.

Like now.

"I am afraid that my attack will cause the death of ordinary people. I am afraid that this is your home ground. I am afraid that lives will wither in front of me."

"I can't explain where these meticulous thoughts come from, but in the final analysis, in a competition of the same level, there is no possibility of overwhelming victory. Taking risks and risking one's life should only be my business..."

"But you——" He Jingtong's voice became lower and lower.

The captain who was supporting He Jingtong inexplicably felt a hint of cold air, but he did not let him go. Instead, he held He Jingtong's shoulders even tighter to ensure that he could stand steadily.

But for some reason, the captain's eyes, which had been unable to see anything unusual, suddenly became able to see.

He saw a white light like a crack appearing around He Jingtong.

The color became brighter and brighter, like a lone light in the darkness.

Dark clouds blocked the sun, the reservoir stirred up waves, and the indigo fog that filled the entire vision merged into raindrops and fell on ordinary people.

It was like acid rain, bringing a severe burning pain. But even so, none of the five people chose to escape.

Ming Jiuguan made a buzzing sound and broke free from the hand of the man standing in the front.

Unconsciously, a look of panic appeared on his face, but the greater shock was that the white light was reflected in his pupils.

"What is this?!"

A nearly broken voice shouted, and then, in those eyes that could only see the dark clouds and the stormy seas,

I also saw a flash of white lightning!

He Jingtong grasped Ming Jiuguan. Deep in his soul, the lazy alien space fragments that had not yet been completely integrated continued to leak out the alien characteristics.

“Why do I have to work so hard?”

"Why should I follow your wishes?"

"Why can't I just wait for death?"

"I enjoy my ease, I am tired and powerless, I look forward to the world being destroyed tomorrow, it has nothing to do with me anyway."

"Your efforts are meaningless, your persistence is worthless. Your idea of ​​saving others is too much for others. Stop, stop working, don't act, don't work hard. Feel the power of laziness... Feel the power that can corrode the strongest will in the world! Then, accept it."

"That is your power. Becoming a spirit is something you have already begun—"

Before the indigo mist brought fear to ordinary people, and before the ugly ghosts left traces in people's hearts, the whole world was shrouded in white.

The Nine-Pass in He Jingtong's hand also released a large amount of white lightning in the blink of an eye. He was extremely fast, and seemed to have gotten rid of the human characteristic of being affected by gravity, and kept rushing towards the alien spirit.

It was like a ball of lightning that had become conscious, moving at such a fast speed that it made people feel as if the entire world had turned pure white.

The alien spirits are even more difficult to resist.

Even if it can control the flow of water, even if it can put its power into the rain to cause corrosive effects, if all the rain passes by He Jingtong, then this power will be useless.

Extreme speed brings extreme power.

Even if they could see those images, ordinary people would not understand how He Jingtong managed to ignore gravity and the landing point on the water surface and chop the alien into pieces with one cut after another.

Things that ordinary people cannot understand, Xiang Li Xingqing can see clearly.

It ignores gravity and has no landing point, but that's just compressing the soul power into a solid body, swinging it out from the toes, and using the force to make the next jump attack.

But how can the power of the soul be condensed into a physical entity?

Soul power is real, but it is also ethereal and illusory.

The former proves the fact that systematic education of spiritual masters exists, while the latter means that... He Jingtong is gradually becoming inhuman.

The human soul is complementary to the flesh/body, and the soul power used is like a blue bar. In the final analysis, it is only by using this power to launch attacks that are biased towards ability characteristics, or to try to enhance the power of other melee means.

The ability bias characteristics are driven by soul power, not formed by soul power.

Soul power cannot be transformed into anything tangible, at least this is true for the soul power controlled by spiritualists.

Only the spirits...

Only they can make the soul tangible.

Just like this A-level ghost, its monstrous body clearly shows that it is no longer human.

Therefore, it can also use the monster's body as clay, such as the tentacle attack it made before.

——That is a power that only spirits can use!

Xiang Li Xingqing didn't want the situation to get this bad, but deep down inside her, there was another voice saying, "How could you not have guessed what was happening?"

What does the alienation of the soul look like?

No one has seen it.

There are too many supernatural beings in this world, but few spiritualists have witnessed the entire process of their birth.

But this time, Xiang Li Xingqing saw with his own eyes the actual manifestation of the human soul's spiritualization.

That is a monster that cannot be looked at directly.

It is the embodiment of sin, it will corrode people's will, disturb their reason, crush their so-called ambition, and let time flow like water that will never return...

That was He Jingtong who once again faced off against a supernatural being.

"The mutation has deepened..." Xiang Li Xingqing murmured, but her hands began to tremble unconsciously.

She should have rushed in and killed the alien spirit together with He Jing, but now she was afraid and did not dare to go deeper.

She was afraid that she would no longer be herself.

Xiang Li Xingqing only felt less than one tenth of what He Jingtong heard, the words from the depths of his soul, but she was still afraid of it.

It was like I suddenly understood why the academy system required that spiritualists of the same level must be able to defeat alien spirits of the same level.

This is simply because, once the alien spirits become too powerful, the alien spirits themselves will become a unique substance that shocks, intimidates, and even drives humans crazy.

"You don't have to go up there, right? He's getting stronger, he can handle it."

"You just need to stand here, without having to face any wind and rain, and then try to accept the good results brought by the students."

“You don’t have to make yourself work.”

The sounds were everywhere. Xiang Li Xingqing opened her mouth unconsciously. A silent scream spread around her mouth, but she still couldn't make a sound.

The stronger the spiritual master, the harder it is to resist the gaze of sin.

"So... so strong!" On the contrary, ordinary people can still remain rational at this time.

Even though their legs were weak, they just thought they were too scared and sat down on the ground.

The acid-like rain gradually returned to its normal state. The expedition leader wiped the rain off his face and looked ahead.

He didn't know how He Jingtong did it, he just felt that the "monster" who had forced He Jingtong to be extremely ferocious before was no longer able to resist in the hands of the young man.

A scream was heard, and the alien spirits were severely weakened.

Its body, which was originally large enough to form a large black shadow underwater, now only had a basketball-sized body left.

He Jingtong hadn't yet cut down to the core of the alien. At this moment, he seemed to be the executioner who personally used the most cruel punishment in the world. The treatment that the alien encountered was no less than being cut into pieces.

But it can neither die nor escape.

The rain falling from the sky suddenly turned into small white balls of lightning.

They are so tiny, yet they are like pearls floating in the air, covering the sky and the earth, and are everywhere.

The boy's voice, which was low and hoarse and no longer clear, sounded again at this moment. The voice was so steady, yet it seemed to be able to penetrate time and space...

"Realm - Thunder of Ten Thousand Times."

He Jingtong bent the ring fingers and little fingers of both hands at the same time, connected the middle fingers and index fingers diagonally, and touched the thumbs of both hands directly, skillfully forming a complete triangle between the hands.

Looking at the triangle formed between the hands, the alien spirit is perfectly framed within it.

The whole world flashed for a second at this moment, and then a scream so loud that it could make one's ears ring rang out.

“Ughhhhhhhhhhhh——!”

Those white pearls formed by rain also all turned into thunder at this moment and exploded in an instant. The contacts of lightning spread out and after colliding with each other, they formed a huge sea of ​​thunder in the sky, shaking the sky and the earth.

Sand and rocks were flying everywhere, and the trees and geological structures around the reservoir seemed to have suffered a huge impact, spreading outward and collapsing.

Afterwards, white filled every gap in my vision.

When everything disappeared, the strange spirits and the ubiquitous indigo color also disappeared completely.

The expedition leader could only see the young man, who was originally standing in the air, falling heavily into the water.

He wanted to save people, but he acted so powerless at this moment.

That part of the impact came from pure strength, and even though He Jingtong tried to restrain it, it still caused a great impact on the surrounding environment.

The five members of the expedition team should have also suffered the aftermath, but the fact was that before He Jingtong left the realm, he had already thrown the Nine Gates in front of them.

At this time, the jet-black knife was stuck in the ground, and white lightning kept flashing around it. Obviously, the boy's weapon blocked all the residual power for the five members of the expedition team.

In this battle, no one was killed or injured except He Jingtong.

But the boy's body hit the water heavily.

No one caught him...

The water blocked his vision and rushed into his mouth and nose. A feeling of suffocation spread throughout his body. He Jingtong looked up at the sky through the turbid water.

No one knows when the dark clouds dispersed, and the late autumn sunlight once again shone on the earth, bringing a touch of warmth to people. However, the sunlight could never penetrate the turbid water surface and penetrate deep into the water.

He Jingtong fell into a coma.

He didn't see that the members of the expedition team, who were ordinary human beings without any special powers and were always protected by the spiritual master, jumped into the reservoir without caring about anything.

Countless messages flashed across the bullet screen.

[I'm so scared. I'm afraid that the child will die like this. What kind of monster is that? Is this really a materialistic world? ! ]

【I hope he can survive! 】

[The injury is really serious. Didn’t the captain say before that his hand might have been broken before...]

[My tears immediately fell. I was just in awe. Is such greatness really something a human can achieve? But I burst into tears the next second.]

【Me too.】

【The world is in tatters, but there are still people patching it up. 】

[I hope he can survive +1. 】

[Captain, please swim faster. I beg you, please swim faster!]

[The sun is out, everything will be alright? ]

[I understand that everyone wants him to survive, but am I the only one who hopes that he will not survive? That kind of power is too terrifying, it's like a humanoid self-propelled thermal weapon. If he used that move just now in a crowd, the number of deaths would be at least thousands.]

[You're upstairs, you're a bitch! You'd better not let me find your address, otherwise I will definitely find you offline and slap you on the head! ]

[Go to hell! Why are you worrying about nothing here? Go to hell with your father, you idiot! What's the difference between this and a frontier warrior guarding his homeland with a weapon? Just because the weapon is in his hand, you make a nobody like you feel dangerous? Get lost! ]

[Hope he survives + ID number. ]

[Don't worry about that fishing idiot, just report it. ]

[He must be fine... I'm really about to faint from crying. Why didn't anyone come to pick him up? It would have been fine if someone caught him, but they just let him fall into the water like this...]

[The main reason is that the captain and the others can’t do anything. We are all ordinary people and we can’t fly. ]

[But didn’t someone say there was another person on the shore? Who is that person? ]

[The camera was lying on the ground the whole time. The captain probably didn’t even know he was still broadcasting live.]

[If there really was someone, they would have taken action long ago. I guess we were just misjudging them.]

[If I were there, even if I were just an ordinary person, I would jump into the water to save people like the captain and the others.]

[If there really was a human figure, and it was the professional that everyone guessed, he would have taken action long ago. ]

【I guess I saw it wrong.】

【Everyone should be well! 】

【Pray for blessings...】

On the other side, to be precise, An Lai had also arrived at the village three kilometers away from the reservoir as soon as possible.

The car owner who had previously left a message saying that he tried to drive into the reservoir but ran into a dead end, also tried to drive into the reservoir route again.

But this time, there was an extra person, An Lai, in his car.

An Lai gave up on stopping the live broadcast, but he didn't give up completely. He rushed out of the college with an emergency medical kit and a laptop.

After arriving at a nearby village, the live broadcast showed that He Jingtong's soul had already been transformed into a spirit...

An Lai was so anxious that he wanted to fly over directly, but he was helpless. In the end, he had to compromise and let the car owner take him along. He also went along the way and began to try to interrupt the live broadcast.

But during this process, the live broadcast was always in front of his eyes.

He Jingtong's soul further transformed, and he rushed towards the alien spirit once again. He Jingtong materialized his soul power and served as a landing point...

So much so that the boy opened up the realm...

It’s unclear whether he wanted to interrupt the live broadcast or not. An Lai just watched and kept watching.

I watched He Jingtong kill the alien spirit and also watched him fall.

Looking at the water, there was no sign of He Jingtong...

All five members of the expedition team went into the water, and the car that drove towards the reservoir finally stopped on the dilapidated shore.

It was only when An Lai came to this point that he finally pressed the button to stop the live broadcast.

Afterwards, the boy was rescued by the captain.

All five of them were weak and powerless. They passed the ball to each other and supported each other. Finally, they brought He Jingtong to the shore together.

Time should have skipped ahead, and scenes should have been easily changed.

It would seem much better if only the image of He Jingtong after he regained consciousness remained in our memory.

But the fact is that An Lai threw his computer away, grabbed the emergency medical kit, pushed open the car door, and rushed to the shore recklessly.

Of course he saw Xiang Li Xing Qing, but he passed her by.

The wind created by An Lai's running brought Xiang Li Xing Qing back to her senses, but all she saw was An Lai's back and He Jingtong lying on the ground, motionless.

She did nothing.

This fact was too horrible until she suddenly heard the expedition leader's panicked voice: "Breathing, breathing is gone!"

Xiang Li Xingqing stood up quickly. She might still have some lazy and tempting voice in her mind, but it was suppressed by her reason.

Something that corrodes reason and drives the brain crazy lingers deep in the body and mind, but Xiang Li Xingqing bit her lips and rushed forward as well.

When An Lai carried out emergency rescue, Xiang Li Xingqing waved his hand away.

A blue color like a sea of ​​stars appeared on the palms covered with crescent marks. An Lai was also in shock when he heard Xiang Li Xingqing say, "My ability is to go back in time."

"As a teacher, how can I not protect my students?" Xiang Li Xingqing smiled miserably, his face was so pale as if he had been soaked in water for several hours.

She thought that Le He and Zhuang Yifei could be the backup, but what she thought was just that.

Perhaps she also understood deep down that in the school where humans and monsters coexisted twenty years ago, no one, whether monster or human, was trustworthy.

The only person you can trust is yourself...

Time reversal is a kind of existence that can reverse the time of a designated person or object.

The price is that Xiang Li Xingqing has to pay back the time it takes to reverse the situation a hundred times.

She wanted to turn back the time of He Jingtong to the time before his soul was transformed, but the price she had to pay was to consume a hundred times her own time.

Visibly, the wounds on the boy's body disappeared, and even his torn clothes became intact.

An Lai's trembling hands gradually calmed down.

but……

Xiang Li Xingqing's expression became more and more ugly.

"What's wrong?"

An Lai asked cautiously, but a bad thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Then he heard Xiang Li Xingqing say, "I can't turn He Jingtong's soul back to its previous state after it has been transformed...

An Lai's face turned pale in an instant.

The captain next to him said with a look of surprise: "He's breathing! He's breathing! He's alive!

Ordinary people don’t know that He Jingtong was not dead. He just didn’t breathe. He just held his breath subjectively after falling into the water.

Xiang Li Xingqing's face was extremely ugly: "Why not! Why can't I return his soul to its original state! Why——!

The blue power like the galaxy shook violently, but An Lai held her hands tightly, abruptly interrupting Xiang Li Xingqing's confusion.

"Fu Zexun originally wanted to make him a Z-level spirit.

It is difficult for an A-level psychic to influence an S-level spirit, let alone a legend that has never existed.

Even if He Jingtong is not complete, that is the same.

The soul is a tangible thing, but it is also an intangible thing. Xiang Li Xingqing can go back to the time of He Jingtong's body, but he cannot exert his ability on He Jingtong's soul.

Just like the hole in He Jingtong's chest before, Qi Xueyi couldn't heal it no matter what.

They all have similar origins.

The hole in the chest cannot be healed because the body does not think it needs to be healed, and the soul cannot be reversed because He Jingtong's soul...

"He is no longer a pure human being. An Lai's voice is like a gust of wind. It is difficult to hear clearly in the ears of ordinary people, but in Xiang Li Xingqing's eyes, it is like the eye of a typhoon, destined to stir up a storm.

"It's my fault. If I had just taken action...

An Lai lowered his head and said nothing. He just tried to pick up He Jingtong from the ground.

But then he heard Xiang Li Xing Qing say: "If we go back to his own time, and cannot reverse his soul, then what if... we go back to this space? !
