Chapter 53: The spirit breaks through the illusion
This is a brutal battle between spiritual bodies. Every collision and bite will consume a huge amount of spiritual power. To explain it in more abstract terms, it is no different from a real-life battle between flesh and blood.
Lin Chen quickly and repeatedly recited the incantation, encouraging the white-backed weasel, which had wanted to retreat several times. However, any incantation requires a high degree of concentration, and even if it is not in a meditative state, it is quite exhausting.
After less than two minutes of fighting, Lin Chen’s face turned pale.
Compared to Lin Chen, I was much more relaxed. You see, the tiger spirit is not something I have to feed, but rather a symbiotic spirit that is connected to my heart.
Besides, even if it is a stupid tiger, it is still a tiger, right? The pride and will of the king of beasts are burning with its boiling fighting spirit! It will not retreat until it has hit the ‘enemy’.
The battle between the two powerful spirits was like a storm of spiritual energy. The wind was whipping and the sand was flying. If an ordinary person had been there, they would have seen two tornadoes colliding with each other.
In fact, the battle in the state of the heavenly eye is also very exciting. Silly Tiger retains all the fighting instincts of tigers, jumping and dodging, tail and paw coordination, and occasional biting, which is almost as exciting as watching a tiger hunt a large animal.
The more powerful the opponent, the faster the duel will be decided. It was just two minutes, and the white-backed weasel was already in a desperate situation. The originally clear and bright eyes were already exhausted and even seemed a bit cloudy, which was definitely a sign of weak spiritual power.
Halfway through the duel, I saw it look at Lin Chen with a pleading expression, but Lin Chen had gone completely mad and was forcing the spell without regard for anything, causing the white-backed weasel to look angry.
There was no way around it. It was like a contract. It accepted support during the day, but at this time it could only be controlled by the spell.
The battle was almost over at this point. The white-backed weasel was no match for the stupid tiger, and even the repeated collisions seemed weak and powerless. However, the stupid tiger was getting more and more courageous in battle, and he didn’t know what mercy was. In the last battle, the stupid tiger’s claws finally slammed down hard on the white-backed weasel’s head.
This blow weakened the spirit of the white-backed weasel, after all, they are not flesh and blood creatures, and the way they are injured is not to be scarred, but to appear a little dim.
At this time, the stupid tiger roared with a mighty roar, rushed up and was about to bite the white-backed weasel’s neck. Don’t think that the spirit body will not disappear. In fact, in addition to its own magnetic field, the spirit body also contains a kind of energy, and it can even devour the soul power of others to strengthen itself.
So, is it true that Zhong Kui swallows ghosts? Haha…
I bit off the last bite of apple with a loud “crunch,” threw away the apple core, and knew that Silly Tiger was going to devour it. But at the most critical moment, I stopped Silly Tiger. This was not too kind, but I knew that the animal spirit’s cultivation was not easy. If I killed it easily, both Silly Tiger and I would bear a great karmic consequence. There was no need for that.
Heaven has the virtue of compassion, and we should follow this most basic principle of heaven.
Shatou looked at me with dissatisfaction and growled, but in the end, he didn’t bite down. He just used his claws to hold down the yellow weasel with a white back, just like a cat playing with a mouse. I won’t let you go back, no matter what! I’ll scare you to death, I’ll play with you to death…
At this moment, deafening cheers rang out in the arena, for the wonderful performance of Silly Tiger, and also for the honor of the Li family.
I didn’t bother to care about these things, nor did I bother to care about Shahu’s “naive” behavior. I directly said to the pale-faced Lin Chen, “You lost, let it go back.”
Lin Chen glared at me angrily, without saying anything, but instead reciting another spell with a fierce look.
At that moment, I saw a flash of despair in the eyes of the white-backed weasel. The next moment, I knew it was bad, so I quickly focused my mind and communicated with Silly Tiger, “Back off!”
But it was already too late. Driven by the spell, the white-backed weasel suddenly broke free of Shatu’s grip, turned over and fought. The next moment, its soul shadow was so dim that it was almost impossible to see, and the field was instantly filled with fog!
It seems that I was still a step too late. You have to know that immortals all have supernatural powers. When Huang Daxian (the weasel immortal) is in a biological body, his supernatural power is to fart and stun people. When he is in a spirit body, it is naturally impossible to do so, but there is a similarity, and that is to create an environment.
I never thought that Lin Chen would be so crazy. At a time when the white-backed weasel was so weak, he recklessly urged the white-backed weasel to release its innate magical power in order to win. You have to know that if you are not careful, the white-backed weasel will be finished, and he himself will also suffer a violent backlash.
After releasing his supernatural powers, the white-backed weasel fell to the ground, too weak to move. Perhaps it was only under the manifestation of the heavenly eye that it was so weak that it fell to the ground. In fact, the situation should be that its soul was so weak that it could not move.
Lin Chen took such a risk, and it actually survived this disaster. It can be considered that it is very lucky.
But I don’t have the heart to care about the white-backed weasel right now. Falling into a fantasy is the most dangerous situation for a spirit. If you’re not careful, you’ll be stimulated out of your nature or fall into eternal confusion.
When the tiger is indulging in the illusion, I can’t summon it at all, but is there no way?
Don’t look down, tigers also have their own magical powers. This magical power is related to the wind. The so-called tiger tiger is born of the wind, and the appearance of a tiger is accompanied by a strange wind. To put it more simply, the tiger’s aura is too strong, and a strong aura will certainly cause some changes in the surrounding environment.
People can also, for example, a person’s aura can drive changes in the atmosphere, which is also a kind of subtle change. Isn’t dullness a manifestation of poor air circulation?
A look of pain flashed in my eyes. I didn’t want Shatu to use his innate magic, but there was no other way. The so-called “one evil spirit destroys ten thousand spirits.” The environment is also a kind of spiritual energy. I felt Shatu’s anxiety and irritability, and I shouted in my heart. Because I was too concentrated, I involuntarily shouted out, “Shatu, destroy it for me!”
The response to my shout was a loud excited roar from Shatu. Then the fog that had been hanging over the field began to shake violently. One, two, three… Shatu’s supernatural power, the evil spirit, had turned into a solid form, directly condensing the evil spirit on its claws. Every time it patted, it carried a violent evil spirit. How could the fog itself, which carried the environment, possibly withstand it?
You have to know that its power is not greater than the aura of evil that I encountered at the foot of the mountain in the deserted village. If Shatu had grown to such a level at that time, the aura of evil at the foot of the mountain would have been broken.
When the fog was broken, the sound of the wind was like the sound of flowing water. In just 20 seconds, the fog had thinned to an unbelievable degree. Everyone present witnessed Shatuo’s claws, like knives, smashing the fog with a majestic slap after slap.
Those claws were like knives, formed from the evil spirits!
“Hoo” … There was no sound that shook the earth, and the fog finally couldn’t hold on and was smashed by Shatuo’s powerful palm. Shatuo’s momentum did not diminish, and he rushed at the white-backed weasel with anger, but I stopped him with a shout, allowing him to adjust his direction and rush directly towards Lin Chen.
At that moment, I shouted, “Lin Chen, do you give up?”
At the same time, Shatu’s claws were less than three inches away from Lin Chen’s forehead!
Lin Chen almost shouted with bloodshot eyes, “Chen Chengyi, I admit defeat in this match. Do you still dare to fight me?”
With a loud bang, Silly Tiger stopped in a panic and, at my command, walked around Lin Chen in an elegant manner, staring at him with a menacing look.
The aura of the tiger obviously put Lin Chen under tremendous pressure. He looked somewhat fearful and his face turned even paler.
He should have conceded, and I should have taken back Silly Tiger, but I did it on purpose. I hate Lin Chen for everything he did to Irene, and I want to be as “naive” as Silly Tiger and play with him. I pretended not to understand and said, “What did you say? I can’t hear you? Say it again?”
Lin Chen was so angry that his expression changed. The next moment, he actually spat out a mouthful of blood. He didn’t expect me to make a man with such a strong sense of self-esteem admit defeat twice, but he was still a man after all, and said again in a louder voice, “I admit defeat, but do you still dare to fight me?”
As soon as his words fell, the audience booed.
But I didn’t care and asked, “Why?”
“Just because you rely on the power of the inherited tiger spirit, the symbiotic soul can’t prove any of your methods. You don’t even need to use magic to drive it. Do you dare to continue a fair fight?!” Lin Chen shouted loudly.
“Give me something that can convince me.” I tilted my head, put my hands in my pockets, and once again became possessed by a rogue.
In fact, I had already agreed to him in my heart, but Lin Chen, this kind of “rich Taoist,” is so annoying! How can I not extort him?
Hoo… the audience booed again, obviously at my rascal appearance, but I don’t care!
