Chapter 100

"Finally, it's settled."

Zhou Xian climbed out from the ruins, looking at the mirror in his arms, which was now completely shattered. On the back of the mirror, the lines of the original array were also broken.

In the distance, the black-robed figure was covered in dust.

"With the protection of the battle armor technique and the array, I still lost thirty percent of my health..."

If it weren't for these defensive measures, I probably wouldn't have survived just now, right?

"Really didn't expect you to still pull a trick on me."

As the black-robed figure spoke, his body trembled again.

"No way, he's still alive?!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xian's jaw almost dropped.

This person was still unharmed at this point?!

Not only was he not dead, but he seemed to stand up as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Xian hurriedly cast a detection spell.

The detection skills were greatly reduced in effectiveness in the real world, but he could still see the basic health of the person. What surprised Zhou Xian was that the person's health was visibly recovering at a terrifying speed.

"This is cheating, right..."

Seeing this, Zhou Xian's eyes widened.

"See, this is the true use of the Soul True Intent. Regeneration, enhancement, possession..."

Soul Intent.

Soul True Intent.

"Soul Intent... Soul True Intent... I see."

Just as he understood, the previous Soul Intent was just a low-level thing. But when Zhou Xian truly understood this ability, he didn't expect to face such a terrifying situation.

"Using the divine soul to drive the body, right?"

"Huh? You don't understand Soul Intent at all, but you can grasp its principles?" The black-robed figure was surprised.

"I don't fully understand Soul Intent, but when you mentioned 'Soul True Intent,' I got the idea. This is the ability to use the divine soul to drive the body, right? I guess this divine soul exists not only in the real world but also in the game world, so when someone is killed in the game world, the person in the real world becomes a vegetable because their divine soul disappears..."

"Lacking a soul, most people indeed become vegetables. I'm increasingly impressed by you; you can see through this."

"Hmph, don't joke. This isn't a good thing. Using a modified Divine Prison ritual to forcibly strip the soul, causing instability in the soul and body, and severe cases can lead to becoming a vegetable even if you don't log in for a while. And at such times, you also face the threat of extraterrestrial demons... You haven't thought this through!"

Zhou Xian admitted that the ability to use the divine soul to drive the body was unfair. This ability was like being able to convert MP to HP at any time. If one's divine soul was strong, the efficiency and frequency of this conversion would increase.

But Zhou Xian didn't think he needed such a soul-selling ability.

No matter how well the black-robed figure spoke, the natural enmity between Zhou Xian and the other party wouldn't change.

Only this was certain.

"But right now, it's not up to you!"

With that, the black-robed figure charged at Zhou Xian again.

"Roar!"

A lion's roar immediately halted the person's movements.

"Earth Escape!"

Immediately, Zhou Xian dived underground and leaped to another street.

"Don't think you can run!"

The black-robed figure immediately gave chase.

After the other person ran around the corner, Zhou Xian, who had used an invisibility spell, appeared on the other side of the street.

"In any case, I need to get to a busy road. These people probably don't want to expose themselves, so in a crowded place, I'll be a bit safer."

Thinking this, Zhou Xian ran toward the nearest busy road.

But just then, the black-robed figure, who should have run down another street, was standing in front of Zhou Xian.

"..."

Seeing this, Zhou Xian's cold sweat dripped down.

"Tsk tsk, you think you can escape so easily? Boy, you're a hundred years too young!"

Zhou Xian didn't speak; he directly threw three soul talismans, delaying the other person for a moment before fleeing in another direction.

In the game, he had a thousand ways to crush the other person, but in the real world, he could only protect himself. After all, using the divine soul to drive the body's regeneration was too unfair.

Not just unfair, it was outrageous.

Well... actually, Zhou Xian, who had special abilities, didn't have the right to criticize others. But being overwhelmed by absolute strength was indeed a frustrating thing.

"Tsk tsk tsk, your escape is a meaningless action."

The black-robed figure appeared in front of Zhou Xian again, unhurriedly.

"Teleportation..."

Zhou Xian knew about this ability.

Teleportation was similar to Zhou Xian's special skill "Earth Escape." However, this ability was limited to mages and demons who used magic as MP, unlike the "Earth Escape" skill, which was limited to Taoists and demons who used Dao power.

Compared to "Earth Escape," teleportation had a significant advantage: it didn't require a ground medium.

"No cooldown, another application of Soul Intent?"

"The Soul Intent system is a vast system with countless applications. However, very few people can learn such abilities, even those who have activated Soul Intent. But you are different; if you hand over your account, I can give you such abilities."

Another piece of information.

"Really don't understand, if that's the case, why go to great lengths to activate Soul Intent for those people? Isn't that redundant?"

"Hehe, in a general sense, yes, but our goal is not just that. When the countdown on the game login screen reaches zero, you'll know what these Soul Intent users are for."

"The countdown on the game login screen?"

"Of course... Hmph, are you trying to extract information from me again? I don't understand why you care about these meaningless things now."

"Of course, because I haven't given up hope!"

Zhou Xian retreated again, running in another direction.

The black-robed figure shook his head: "Hope, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and the deeper the despair..."

Zhou Xian ignored the other person, even though the black-robed figure kept blocking his path.

"Dead end..."

Finally, Zhou Xian reached a dead end.

Turning around, the black-robed figure was already there, smiling slightly at Zhou Xian like a victor: "You have nowhere to run. Your Earth Escape should still be on cooldown."

"Alright, I can only ask one last question."

Zhou Xian tried to extract more information: "What is your ultimate goal?"

"Oh? You're still trying to get information from me? Does that mean you have a trump card?"

"..."

He was seen through.

"Sigh, looks like you won't say anything." Zhou Xian was a bit helpless; even at this point, the other person wouldn't say anything.

"Hehe, if you could become our ally, what couldn't I tell you?"

"Probably you have some mind control or a restriction that could cause sudden death?"

"Tsk, I suddenly feel you can't be left alive. You're so smart at such a young age; you'll be a threat to us in the future..."

Knowing it was futile, Zhou Xian decided to open the menu and reload the save.

But just as Zhou Xian chose to load a save, he suddenly felt a blow to his head!

This was the same as when he called up the panel in the game world!

He was experiencing the same thing in the real world!

Seeing the black-robed figure approaching, Zhou Xian gritted his teeth.

"Looks like I have no choice but to go all out."

"Over here—!"

Just as Zhou Xian was about to fight, someone grabbed his hand and pulled him around the corner.

"—?!"

An unexpected voice.

"Don't speak, run!"

The person pulling him was a girl, dressed modestly, but her voice revealed her identity.

The girl pulled Zhou Xian through a small alley.

"Ha ha ha! Useless, useless! You can't run!"

But the next moment, the black-robed figure's猖狂 laughter suddenly stopped.

Not just the laughter, but the pressure from the black-robed figure disappeared in that instant.

No, not just the situation, but the surroundings as well.

"Here?"

Inadvertently, Zhou Xian found himself in a strange yet familiar place.

"Dragon Tomb?"

Yes, Zhou Xian was now in one of the most mysterious places in the game, the place where dragons go after death.

The Dragon Tomb.

"Phew, finally escaped."

At this moment, the girl who had been pulling him, now wearing a pink robe, with her long hair flowing freely behind her, spoke.

"Hi, Zhou Xian. My name is Ziwēi."

The girl had a delicate face, giving a natural and refined impression.

"..."

But looking at the girl's face, Zhou Xian's expression became awkward.

"Hey, Beidou, why do you look like this?" "Clang—" The girl's long sword fell to the ground.
