Chapter 281 Liberating the Soul
"The transaction is established! I will exchange it with you with the ancient crystal!"

After listening to Ivanka's words, Zhu Jue no longer hesitated, and immediately nodded to agree to the deal.

Although Zhu Jue had followed this ancient crystal for five years, he actually didn't know how to use it at all.

After absorbing the energy in it, this pretty good-looking gem is actually not much different from a broken stone in Zhu Jue's hands. Naturally, it will not lose money if it is exchanged for a method to strengthen the spirit.

"Now let's talk, what is the way to strengthen your own spiritual will?"

Zhu Jue looked at Ivanka expectantly.

"You asked me how to make my spiritual will stronger, then I ask you, how does the body of a creature like a human become stronger?"

Ivanka did not directly answer Zhu Jue's question, but asked rhetorically.

"Of course it is through eating and exercising, or some other external forces, such as ability injections, body modification and so on."

There are not too many ways to strengthen the human body in this era, Zhu Jue came up with several after thinking about it for a while.

"Yes, the body of a creature can be strengthened through these methods. Have you ever thought that a person's will can also be strengthened through exercise and eating?"

Holding the ancient crystal in her hand, Ivanka let go of her hand while talking. The ancient crystal was suspended in mid-air out of thin air, wrapped by an invisible force, and layers of crystal debris were peeled off from it. Eyeing Zhu Jue, he continued.

"I'm curious why you want to ask me this question. When I first met you, you had already tried food fortification, didn't you? I have been in this time and space for 5 years, and I have never seen anyone with you people in a similar situation."

"That's not my power, it's just an external force temporarily captured. What I pursue is my own strength!"

Zhu Jue once ate a large amount of evolved meat from monsters that were sources of spiritual pollution, and he undoubtedly obtained extremely powerful power from it, not only physically, but also spiritually.

As Ivanka said, when they met in the Takoma Desert, Zhu Jue relied on that strength to force him to build a gun for himself.

He thought that this power was without any hidden danger.

But the subsequent trip to the Swart Valley made Zhu Jue suffer a lot in this regard. Those wills that were easily taken away from his body caused his body to tend to collapse.

"You are very smart, but your understanding is wrong. The power you obtained from those indescribable monsters is not yours, otherwise you would not be able to use them to cultivate your own unique will. What you lack is rationality. The method of using these energies. Of course, there may also be racial restrictions, and the human spirit may indeed not be able to perfectly blend with the soul energy of those monsters."

"Can we skip the discussion of my past situation, do you think it makes sense to discuss who I was?"

Wiping the rain off his face, Zhu Jue looked at Ivanka who seemed to have a long speech with a headache, and interrupted him bluntly.

It's okay to get in the rain for a while, but now the buttocks are almost soaked, Zhu Jue doesn't plan to take a rain bath here.

"Well, you are correct. Next, I will use the special skills of the great race to liberate your spirit, so that it can officially contact the world, instead of being like you now, although it can achieve a certain degree of concretization, But the real power is all imprisoned in your body. In the view of our great race, the spirit should be detached from the body, instead of being imprisoned by the body in turn!"

As soon as the words fell, before Zhu Jue could reply, some invisible force directly rushed into his mind.

In the next second, Zhu Jue's eyes went dark, and his body suddenly seemed to be soaked in a hot spring. He felt so comfortable that he almost groaned.

Bang!
The body suddenly fell back on the steel structure at the top of the bridge.

Zhu Jue watched the whole scene.

Yes, he clearly watched his body fall back as if unconscious.

and many more
The body is in sight.

Where is the current self?
"What did you see?"

The familiar voice came again, and Zhu Jue, who was struggling, subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.

"I saw you"

Looking behind Ivanka, Zhu Jue was stunned for a moment.

This is the second time that Zhu Jue has seen the body of a great race. Compared with the glimpse of a dream in the hotel in Tacoma City, this time it is a real close encounter.

It was a huge iridescent cone covered with some kind of jagged, semi-elastic scales.

At the top of the cone, there are four retractable cylindrical organs, apparently made of the same substance as the cone; these organs sometimes shrink to such an extent that they almost disappear, and sometimes extend outward to extreme lengths.

At the end of two were huge hooked claws, like crab claws, at the end of another were four trumpet-shaped red organs, and at the end of one was an irregular sphere about two feet in diameter. , the sphere is almost yellow, and there are three huge black eyes in the center, arranged in a circle.

On the top of the extremely weird monster's head, there are four thin off-white stems, each with a flower-like organ at the top, and eight small, almost green tentacles hanging from the lower part of the head.

And on the chassis of the huge cone in the center, it is covered with a gray-white jelly-like substance, which can make the huge monster crawl like a mollusk when it stretches and shrinks.

"anything else?"

His voice rang in Zhu Jue's ear.

"And what else? What are these?"

The line of sight shifted, and the rain curtain in the sky had disappeared at this moment, and Zhu Jue saw endless light blue light spots filling his surroundings.

At your fingertips!

"This is natural energy. If it is replaced by your human beings, it is natural elements."

"How do you think those evil gods and their believers use spells and spells? The former are born with talents in this area, and the latter gain the ability to manipulate natural energy by offering sacrifices to the former, and some of them even have the ability to manipulate natural energy. Something more special can be done.”

"The great race has never worshiped evil gods like Mi Go or the Cthulhu family. We rely on the ability to think, experiment and evolve over a long period of time. What I am doing now is to use the power of the great race. Skills can help you unlock this ability, and you don’t need to make any sacrifices, and this is the reward you gave me for the crystal of the ancients.”

Ivanka told Zhu Jue some mysterious knowledge, regardless of whether the latter could understand or not.

When Zhu Jue opened his eyes again, the bright light in his eyes was clearly visible in the rain in the night.

Everything in front of him returned to normal, but there was a big difference between the normal at this time and the normal before.

Zhu Jue can feel that his spirit seems to have broken some kind of shackles, it is no longer "self-closing", but began to try to get in touch with the surrounding environment.

The most obvious manifestation of this aspect is perception.

In the past, Zhu Jue possessed this ability by devouring the evolutionary meat of the nightmare, but it was more like a function similar to a sonic detector. He could clearly perceive the edges and shapes of objects, but at this moment, Zhu Jue can already perceive the state of the object.

For example, the raindrops beside him, the moment he closes his eyes, Zhu Jue can feel countless light blue light spots falling beside him, while five years ago he saw at most countless small dots.

"Before, your spiritual will was a caged cub. It couldn't take the initiative to prey, and could only rely on you to put energy in front of it to eat and grow. At this time, it has come out of the cage and can be autonomous. As for where are the food that can make it more powerful, how to get them... You have to find it yourself, that is not within the scope of our transaction."

Ivanka couldn't hide her exhausted look, and the ancient crystal floating in front of her was unknowingly broken into half, which was completely analyzed by his powerful spirit.

"It feels pretty good."

The index finger caught a drop of rainwater and watched it condense into ice crystals on the fingertips. Both the speed of forming and the state after forming were greatly improved compared to before.

As for other changes, Zhu Jue plans to find time to think about it slowly.

"The transaction is complete, I will leave this world and return to my clan."

Waved his hand to scatter the broken powder of the ancient crystal, and let them drift away in the wind and rain. Ivanka supported the steel frame with both hands and was about to move forward.

"and many more!"

Zhu Jue seemed to have thought of something suddenly, stopped him and continued,

"After you return, you probably won't come back again?"

"of course."

"Then what about the body you occupy?"

"According to our original rules, his spirit will return to this body, but because of his hostility towards me, I chose to return here."

Ivanka pointed to the big river under the bridge, and the meaning could not be more clear. Obviously, he was not prepared to let the unlucky one who was chosen continue to live.

"Since you don't use this identity, how about lending it to me? I need a place to stay and a suitable identity. You live in Dawn City, so you should have your own residence here?"

Zhu Jue expressed very naturally that he wanted the "inheritance" left by the other party, after all, he had nowhere to go.

"Yes, this identity has no effect on me. My current residence is in Heywood District."

Tell Zhu Jue his residence and the location of valuables such as keys one by one, and the latter tries to write down some key information as much as possible.

5 minute later.

On the cross-river bridge, a black shadow fell down the bridge in an upside-down posture.

About halfway through, the voice of calling for help sounded, it should be the return of the original owner of the body.

It's just that in the current situation on the river, there should be no possibility of surviving the fall.

"Come on, let's go home."

Putting his hands in his pockets, the rain on the surface of the steel frame under his feet condensed into a thin layer of ice, and he leaned back and slid towards the bridge.

behind him.

A dark purple rune is printed on his forehead.

A giant beast with a silver mane walks with its head held high.
