Chapter 12: Controlling the Inner Demon
Long Chen put away his martial spirit, and the nine-tailed fox phantom disappeared.
Ye Tianming exclaimed:
"Xiao Chen, your new soul skill is also very powerful, with a powerful confusing effect."
"Yes, Uncle Ye. As you expected, it has a very strong control effect, which can make the opponent fall into a dizzy state. Moreover, I can control the opponent's actions according to my own thoughts.
As long as the opponent's mental power does not exceed ten times of mine, it will be restricted by this soul skill. The restriction effect increases with the improvement of my strength."
Ye Tianming smiled and nodded.
"Xiao Chen, this soul skill of yours gives you the ability to compete with soul king-level soul masters."
Long Chen's heart was also agitated, but he tried to remain calm.
"I didn't expect it to be so powerful, and I don't know why it is like this."
"Haha~ I have never seen such a thing. The ability that the Dark Night Magic Harp brings to you is really weird. However, your second soul skill is much more normal than the first soul skill."
Ye Tianming looked around.
"It's almost dawn, you should take a rest. We will leave the forest after dawn."
"Okay. Uncle Ye, I want to go to the academy to see Lingling. I have something to give her."
Ye Tianming nodded.
"That's right, I miss that girl a little bit too. Okay, go to bed."
"Okay."
Long Chen slept for two hours, and it was dawn.
The two left the Star dou Great Forest and headed for the Royal Academy outside Tiandou City.
Along the way, the two chatted as they walked.
Ye Tianming said:
"Xiaochen, you are now a level 22 Great Soul Master, and you can proceed to the next stage of training."
"Is it fighting soul beasts?"
"Yes."
Ye Tianming nodded and gave a detailed explanation:
"The first stage of special training is to improve your physical fitness, strength, and speed, etc. The next stage of special training is the real test.
The early special training is to enable you to fight soul beasts in close combat. You can use soul power and weapons.
However, the two soul skills you currently have are too over powered attacks on soul beasts below the thousand-year level, and cannot be used in training.
Without the use of soul skills, even soul beasts that have cultivated for decades can pose a huge threat to you.
What you have to do is to keep fighting with them and defeat them, but not to kill them.
In this stage of training, you may suffer more pain. However, your aunt and I will accompany you."
Long Chen knew the good intentions of Ye Tianming and his wife.
They are helping him to embark on the right path.
Such experience can not only quickly improve his fighting skills, but also help him control his inner desire to kill.
As long as his heart is strong enough, even if the Dark Night Demon Harp martial spirit has a strong evil attribute, he will not be controlled by the inner demon.
"Uncle Ye, I will follow your arrangements."
"Good boy. After you get the third soul ring, if your soul skills are as normal as the second soul skill, I will send you to the Royal Academy to accompany Lingling."
"Really?"
"Yes. I know you have been worried about Lingling. I feel more at ease with you by Lingling's side. Besides, the Royal Academy has top-level training resources, which will be of great help to your future growth."
"Then I will seize the time to practice and strive to break through level 30 as soon as possible."
Long Chen and Ye Tianming came to Tiandou Royal Academy.
Passing through the solemn gate of the academy and following the familiar road, they came to the teaching building.
Ye Tianming went to his friend Liu Zhicheng to ask about Ye Lingling's recent situation.
Long Chen went directly to the dormitory building where Ye Lingling was.
He was no longer a six-year-old child, so it was inconvenient for him to go in. He waited at the door of the building, ready to let other girls call Ye Lingling down.
"Long Chen?"
Just as Long Chen was waiting, a voice suddenly came from behind.
Long Chen turned around and found that the person was Dugu Yan.
After two years, Dugu Yan still had short hair like before. Her green eyes matched her figure that was gradually revealed as she aged, making her look even more charming.
Long Chen smiled slightly.
"Hello."
"It's you, after not seeing you for two years, you've grown a lot taller. Are you here to look for Lingling? I'll go call her."
"Yes, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Dugu Yan smiled and strode into the dormitory building.
After a while, Ye Lingling came to Long Chen.
She was wearing a light blue school uniform today, with long hair like a waterfall.
Seeing Long Chen, she greeted him happily, with a bit of surprise between her eyebrows.
"Brother Chen, you're here."
"Yes. Uncle Ye went to find Teacher Liu, so I came to find you."
"Brother Chen, let's go to talk somewhere else."
"Okay."
There were many girls coming in and out of the dormitory door, which was not very convenient.
Ye Lingling took Long Chen to a small garden in the college and found a quiet corner to sit down.
"Lingling, how are you doing recently?"
"Everything is fine. How about you? Your soul power should have broken through level 20, right?"
"Yes, I just broke through. A few days ago, Uncle Ye and I went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts. After absorbing the soul ring, my soul power reached level 22."
"Level 22? Brother Chen, you are amazing."
Ye Lingling looked at Long Chen with admiration, her eyes full of pride and joy.
"How about you? What level?"
"I'm only level 16."
Then, Ye Lingling shared her recent progress in cultivation.
Long Chen also shared with Ye Lingling the interesting stories and achievements of his medical studies in Guang'an Hall, the hardships of the devilish training, and the second soul skill he had just acquired.
Ye Lingling listened attentively, with a focused expression.
"Brother Chen, you live a fulfilling life every day. In comparison, my training in the academy is much more boring."
"Lingling, I have good news for you. After I break through level 30, I may be able to come to your academy."
"Really? That's great!"
Ye Lingling smiled happily after hearing the news.
She has not been as happy as she is today since her grandmother passed away.
Long Chen was also very happy. He also hoped that Ye Lingling could get out of the haze as soon as possible.
"Lingling, I have something for you."
Long Chen said, and took out a delicate small wooden box from the storage device on his waist, which contained whale glue he specially prepared for Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling was very curious.
"Brother Chen, what is this?"
"It's for replenishing the body. It can help improve the body's toughness, so that you will feel more comfortable and less painful when absorbing soul rings in the future."
"Is there such a good thing?"
Ye Lingling took the wooden box and couldn't wait to open it.
A faint fragrance came to her nose.
"Wow, it smells so good."
The transparent whale gelatin looked like yellow crystals.
Ye Lingling asked in confusion:
"Brother Chen, is this for eating?"
"Yes."
"But it looks as hard as a rock, so we can just swallow it like this?"
