Chapter 484: Strong Soul by Nature

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li blushed at Jiang Hu's looks as if regarding Lu Li as a nutty person. But Lu Li wanted to give it a shot nonetheless as he could sense his psychic power was different from others'.

He was determined. Therefore, Jiang Hu said casually, "Okay, if you want to try it, then just release your soul attacks. You don't have to worry about hurting me."

"Okay!"

Lu Li was relieved at Jiang Hu's confidence. Lu Li sat with his legs crossed, cleared his mind, and let his psychic power out. An intangible trace of breeze left Lu Li's body, circled around and then moved to Jiang Hu under the control of Lu Li.

Lu Li had located Jiang Hu's mind. He transformed his psychic power into a sharp knife and pierced it into Jiang Hu's soul like he did to the Inhibition Formations.

Lu Li's psychic power penetrated into Jiang Hu's soul at ease. But outside of Jiang Hu's Soul Pond, there came out a blue glare. Some mysterious runes were moving about amid the blue glare, making Lu Li feel suffocated.

"No wonder…"

Lu Li nodded slightly. No wonder Jiang Hu told him to attack at will. Jiang Hu had a piece of treasure to protect his soul. It was not surprising given that Jiang Hu was a disciple of the immediate Jiang Family.

Jiang Qiling must have one as well and one of a higher level. After all, the soul was a person's essence and nothing could be allowed to go wrong with the soul.

"Go ahead!"

Lu Li didn't know if something was going to happen when his psychic power came in contact with the treasure inside Jiang Hu's soul. Lu Li pressed on and controlled his psychic power to pierce into Jiang Hu's Soul Pond forcefully with great efforts.

"Buzzing~"

When Lu Li's psychic power arrived at Jiang Hu's Soul Pond, it glowed and then countless glowing blue runes spread across the entire Soul Pond. Lu Li felt his psychic power had hit against a wall, which caused some discomfort in his own soul.

"That is powerful!"

Lu Li made up his mind to try again. The stubbornness in his character had gained the upper hand. Disregarding the tingling pain in his own soul, Lu Li kept on transforming his tingling into a knife and hit at Jiang Hu's Soul Pond again and again.

"Wow…"

Jiang Hu was surprised. He could feel clearly a strange energy was going into his soul. He had a sense of what was going on outside his Soul Pond. Even though the energy could not enter his Soul Pond now, it didn't stop. If he was without a piece of treasure to protect his soul, it would have been under vicious attack.

What did it mean?

It meant that Lu Li had mastered the way to launch soul attacks, strong ones no less!

Jiang Hu was shocked at the conclusion he arrived at. He didn't know how to do soul attacks. Yet, being born in a distinguished household, he learned about soul attacks from what he constantly saw and heard about.

There was one rudimental thing according to Jiang Hu's understanding!

To learn soul attacks, one must have a mentor. Without a mentor to lead the way, it would be utterly difficult for one to figure it out alone. Even with the guidance from mentor, one must reach the Eternal Realm and refine the soul for several years before a strand of energy could be formed to launch the attack.

Regular psychic powers were like trickles, not aggressive at all. Normal psychic powers were gentle and they could only be used to sense the surroundings, not to exert harm.

Therefore, before one could do soul attacks, one must turn the trickles into a spout, torrent or even raging waves!

Lu Li was only 17 and it was evident that he had just reached the Eternal Realm. Psychic power had only come to his possession recently. In other words—it was not possible that Lu Li had been cultivating his soul or refined his soul for years.

Lu Li didn't learn any methods of refining his soul and yet he could conduct soul attacks? Was Lu Li self-taught or born to be a master in soul cultivation?

"Phew, phew~"

While Jiang Hu was contemplating, Lu Li opened his eyes. He was disappointed that despite the efforts he invested in it, he could not do it and it backfired to his own soul. If he went any further, his soul would hurt so he had to stop now.

Lu Li was upset. He thought that his soul was unique and yet he could not penetrate Jiang Hu's Soul Pond…

Jiang Hu saw the disappointment in Lu Li's eyes and thought of how Lu Li was feeling. Jiang Hu rolled his eyes and said, "Young Master Lu, you are a freak, really. If you are willing to join the Pavilion of Delicacy, our Great Patriarch might even accept you as an apprentice and you can easily become a patriarch of the External Clan."

"Eh? How so?" Lu Li asked with confusion.

"What you were doing is quite a good method of soul attack!"

Jang Hu explained and then asked, "Young Master Lu, are you sure that nobody had taught you how to cultivate your soul?"

"Yes!" Lu Li was still confused. Then his eyes lit up as he asked, "That really can be regarded as soul attack?"

"Yes, for sure!" Jiang Hu nodded firmly. He waved to a man and said, "Jiang Li, come over here!"

A young man walked over, looking at Jiang Hu and Lu Li in confusion. Jiang Hu pointed to the young man and said to Lu Li, "Young Master Lu, try to attack Jiang Li with your soul. But be careful. As soon as your psychic power is in his Soul Pond, retreat immediately or Jiang Li will lose his mind."

"Okay!"

Lu Li was excited but Jiang Li was frightened. Jiang Hu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Lu Li's soul attacks are not quite powerful yet. He will not destroy your soul."

Jiang Li was relieved but he was still cautious. He closed his eyes and stayed vigilant. Lu Li sat down again with his legs crossed, released his psychic power quietly and extended it into Jiang Li's soul. Then, Lu Li transformed his psychic power into a knife and stabbed it slowly at Jiang Hu's Soul Pond.

This time, Lu Li's psychic power entered Jiang Li's Soul Pond easily. But Lu Li didn't dare to be too fast. His psychic power was like a gentle breeze. Jiang Li at once felt some strange energy was present but it didn't hurt as Lu Li was gentle. Jiang Hu only had a bit of uncomfortable sensation.

"Eh?"

Seeing that no reaction came from Jiang Li, Lu Li controlled the knife of psychic power to move faster and stabbed it into Jiang Hu's Soul Pond immediately.

"Ah—"

Jiang Li roared in pain. He held his head in his hands and rolled around the ground. His facial muscles were twisted as if he was being stabbed at the heart for hundreds of times.

"Ah?"

Lu Li hurried his knife of psychic power to back out from Jiang Hu's Soul Pond slowly and then glanced to him at once. Lu Li asked nervously, "My brother, are you okay?"

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

Jiang Qiling and the others were alarmed. They rushed over. Jiang Qiling took a look at Jiang Li and asked, "What is going on? Who attacked him?"

Lu Li felt embarrassed. Jiang Hu took out a pellet for Jiang Li, who had turned pale, to take. Making sure that Jiang Li only had a tingling in his soul, Jiang Hu replied, "It's okay. Young Master Lu only tried out soul attacks. Congratulations, Young Master Lu, you are a soul warrior now."

"Soul warrior!"

Neither Jiang Qiling nor others could believe this. Not anybody could be called a soul warrior.

Jiang Qiling's eyes were wide open. She walked around Lu Li and asked, "Lu Li, when did you learn soul attacks? Who taught you?"

Lu Li himself was baffled. He had only learned how to release psychic power not long before he entered the small battlefield. His Soul Pond was no different than other Eternal Realm warriors'. He was only controlling his psychic power to go into other's Soul Pond. How could he become a soul warrior like that?

"Can it be that my psychic power has attacking nature? Is it because of the silver dragon mark on my Soul Pond?"

This was the only explanation Lu Li could come up with. He didn't want to say too much about it and he winked to Jiang Qiling who took the hint and let go of others except for Jiang Hu.

After everyone else was gone, Lu Li explained, "Actually, I don't clearly understand it. It is possible that…my psychic power has a property of attacking, which made the act of entering the Soul Pond a form of soul attack."

"Well…"

Jiang Qiling recalled how Lu Li's psychic power went through the Inhibition Formation in her room back at Jiang Tianshun's residence. No average Eternal Realm warriors could do that.

"Wow~"

On this thought, Jiang Qiling exclaimed. She looked at Lu Li as if he was some monster and asked, "Lu Li, are you one of the warriors with legendary miraculous births and born with a strong soul? Are you born to know soul attacks?"
