Chapter 28 Hehehe, let's get your wife!
Looking at the simple yet powerful description of the newly drawn skill, Xia Chuan felt it was heaven-defying.
"You are at the beck and call of captive animal spirits or remnants of human souls."
At first glance, this skill seems inexplicable:
The number of people who could be detained was not specified.
It didn't specify the conditions for its application.
It doesn't even explain the conditions for successfully driving the spell target.
For example, it didn't mention anything about the difference in strength between the two sides or the current situation of the other side.
However, based on Xia Chuan's experience using the system—
If they didn't say so, then it doesn't exist!
For example, his other skill.
[Intentional Fist] (Blue - Passive/Active):
By charging up, you can unleash a powerful attack that deals an additional 20% of your attack power as "unavoidable" damage.
If the active, deliberate punch doesn't have a cooldown time listed, then it truly doesn't.
Xia Chuan can grow his hair however he wants.
Once you've charged up one shot, you can fire another.
The only difference is that the amount of extra damage dealt varies depending on the length of the charge time.
It takes about one second to build up the momentum and reach the peak 20% damage increase.
As Xia Chuan read the description of "Binding Spirits and Commanding Generals," he felt a surge of excitement.
Based on the system's consistent pattern, this skill probably has no restrictions in the literal sense.
If the other party is a remnant soul or an animal spirit, Xia Chuan can enslave them unconditionally.
The price paid was merely a thirty-day cooling-off period.
This sole limitation is practically nonexistent for Xia Chuan.
Because he has another skill.
[Soul Release] (Golden Passive/Active):
Active (cooldown 15 min):
A soul-targeting slash delivered through melee attacks.
The next attack after this will definitely unleash [Black Flash], dealing damage to this attack:
A 2.5-fold increase in all damage;
Reset the cooldown of all other skills;
Increases maximum mana and restores 20% of maximum mana (corrected to health).
Within ten minutes of Black Flash being triggered, all skill effects are increased by an additional 20%.
The mechanism of Black Flash that can refresh skill cooldown time can turn the [Spirit Binding] skill, which originally had a cooldown of 30 days, into a daily skill that can be refreshed in just 15 minutes.
and……
Xia Chuan looked at the pedestrians coming and going in the distance, his face full of surprise:
"This skill can actually be used on living people?"
What are the effects when used on a living person?
After some thought, Xia Chuan ultimately decided to put the idea aside for the time being.
His gaze swept across the street and landed on the rocky hill in the distance.
He has better targets for his spells than living people.
If we can control the opponent, we can definitely win this battle without bloodshed.
Suddenly, a voice from behind interrupted Xia Chuan's thoughts.
"Hey bro, bro."
Xia Chuan turned his head and saw a tall, upright man clasping his hands in greeting.
His face was earnest:
"I saw it all just now."
"It was you who killed that monster, right?"
Xia Chuan sensed the other party's presence and frowned slightly.
The smell across the street is strange.
It looks like a living person, but also like a dead person?
He subtly took a half step back and asked warily, "Who are you?"
The man quickly introduced himself: "My name is Zhao Yan, and I sell noodles around here."
"I was just setting up a stall around here when I unexpectedly encountered that monster."
In desperation, he had no choice but to abandon his stall and flee.
Zhao Yan looked at Xia Chuan, his eyes filled with genuine sincerity:
"Thanks to you, brother, for killing that monster, I was able to get my livelihood back."
"In return, I'd like to make you a dough figurine. What kind would you like?"
Although Zhao Yan's acting was flawless, Xia Chuan's vigilance immediately went up when he heard the name.
Oh no, why did I get spawned right next to the boss?
He carefully examined the seemingly ordinary man opposite him and made up his mind.
Don't rush, don't rush. Let's play it safe first. What if it's just someone with the same name?
Under no circumstances should he notice anything amiss.
Thinking this, Xia Chuan's expression did not change.
He looked at Zhao Yan's stall and pointed to one at random:
"Then let's go with Pigsy."
"Alright, I'll get right on it."
Zhao Yan nodded quickly and began to knead dough figurines with deft movements, while cautiously observing Xia Chuan.
"Um... please forgive my intrusion, but may I ask, sir, are you seeking the Dharma?"
"It's the kind of thing in legends, the kind where you seek the magic to become an immortal."
Xia Chuan's heart tightened again.
Oh no, once I asked that question, it turned out that the person on the other end really was Zhao Yan.
Having read the original novel, Xia Chuan was well aware of Zhao Yan's current situation.
Even if he becomes a corpse, Zhao Yan does not want the magic techniques of the Wangchuan Academy to be lost.
Now that the successor of the Three Truths has come knocking on his door, he is quite eager to pass on the skills he acquired before becoming a Dharma Corpse.
Fortunately, this is not a difficult question to answer.
Xia Chuan sighed, his face full of regret: "No, that's not it."
Zhao Yan was quite surprised: "How could that be?"
With such cultivation, how could the opponent not be a Nirvana Corpse?
Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow and followed up on his question, asking, "Why are you asking this?"
Zhao Yan gave an awkward smile: "To be honest..."
"I would also like to become an apprentice and learn skills."
Xia Chuan sighed again: "Then you've come to the wrong person."
"I tried my luck at the sects that recruit disciples before."
"As a result, they rejected me at the very first meeting."
"They said that my internal energy points are sealed and I have no magical power, I just have a lot of strength."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan was taken aback.
Was I using too much force?
A Dharma body large enough to crush a minor supernatural being?
Zhao Yan frowned and secretly used his magic to carefully investigate.
The result left him speechless—the other party actually had no magical power within them.
Zhao Yan looked at Xia Chuan's burly figure, feeling a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
Is it really a gifted individual?
Can an ordinary person have such great strength?
While thinking to himself, Zhao Yan's face was full of obsequiousness:
"Is that so?"
I originally thought that with such talent, this young man must be a legendary seeker of the Dharma.
As he spoke, his hands kept moving.
Before long, a lifelike Pigsy appeared in his hand.
Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Here, the dough figurine you requested is ready."
As he spoke, he handed the dough figurine in his hand to Xia Chuan.
However, he subtly touched Xia Chuan's hand bones.
The sensation from his fingertips made Zhao Yan raise an eyebrow—
Judging from his bone age, this kid is only around twenty years old?
The more Zhao Yan investigated Xia Chuan, the more regretful he felt.
This kid's physical strength is simply unbelievable; his Dharma body must also be at its peak.
It is perfect for passing on the magic techniques of their Wangchuan Academy.
If one can cultivate the magic and be admitted to my Wangchuan Academy, there's no guarantee that another Supreme Being might emerge.
Zhao Yan looked at Xia Chuan and sighed quietly.
Well, since it's clear that the other party isn't seeking the Dharma, then they pose no threat.
First, deal with the people of the Three Truths Dharma Gate according to the original plan.
Zhao Yan concealed the coldness in his eyes and continued to smile at Xia Chuan:
"Please wait a moment, young man."
"I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he pulled his stall cart and turned to leave.
Xia Chuan watched Zhao Yan's departing figure and let out a long sigh of relief.
Old Deng is finally gone.
He finished the Pigsy dough figurine in a few bites, then looked across the street at the rounded stone mountain in the distance.
Then, his lips slowly parted to reveal a set of gleaming white teeth.
Hmph, that damned old Deng, how dare he scare me.
Xia Chuan chuckled inwardly.
Hehehe, your wife will be mine soon!
