My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Chapter 592 - 378: The Demon Within

Although he didn’t understand why his soul body would have physical reactions, Old Barak’s face was swollen like a pig’s head.

Just as he was about to grab Xue Dili, he found that brat dared to resist, so he decided to teach Xue properly. Old Barak was confident, as the young lad’s body techniques and swordsmanship were taught by him, flaws were apparent. Time to show him some masterful combat techniques.

And then he got beaten up. It wasn’t a gap in techniques; he saw through Xue Dili’s moves countless times, yet ended up looking like a pig’s head.

Techniques only matter when the stats are close; Xue’s attributes were likely more than double those of the old undead, beating him was as easy as a youngster hitting an old man.

Xue Dili experienced the charm of being a stat powerhouse for the first time, didn’t need any technique, just basic attack mixed in, and it had Old Barak sweating. Missing a few moves was no big deal, as long as basic attacks connected.

Initially, Xue didn’t plan on hitting, afraid he might accidentally scatter Old Deng’s soul, and end up begging him not to die.

But this old fellow wasn’t playing fair, had a bit of a dark streak, and wanted to get rough when realizing he couldn’t win, so Xue finally gave him a couple of punches, and the old man settled down.

"Is there anyone who treats an old man like this?" Old Barak, with panda eyes, couldn’t even find relief with Alola’s Holy Light Technique shining on his face.

After all, it’s a soul body; this might be the soul’s feedback on appearance.

"Blame your wandering hands." Xue wasn’t guilty at all, even felt the punches were too light; he should’ve thrown a few more to show him what truly hitting below the belt looks like.

Old Barak found that Holy Light here couldn’t fix his eyes, and couldn’t win an argument with Xue, aside from hopping with anger, there wasn’t much else to do. Whenever he felt like hitting Xue, he’d see Xue’s fist and just shrink his neck.

Because Xue didn’t care for respecting elders, he wasn’t afraid to kick the old man’s leg.

Opting for peace, he decided to leave and go play with his two great-granddaughters.

"Hey, couldn’t the little granddaughters teach grandpa while playing with the instruments?"

"Wow, Panda Grandpa, do you want to learn to play the drums?" said Little Dragon Lady.

"Sure, sure, I played drums when I was young." Old Barak smiled; he had been a drummer in war, responsible for drumming to advance.

Xue stopped focusing on the trio’s ruckus and said, "Thank you for your help."

"It’s no trouble at all." Alola positioned her hand on Xue’s chest, the Holy Light poured in entirely.

Xue felt the feedback from Holy Light; it was a high-tier application of Holy Light, encompassing Holy Light Barrier and Holy Light Healing.

Xue’s Holy Light originated from Old Barak, so it had brute force qualities, leaving only damage and illumination effects, lacking primary defense and healing capacities.

So his Holy Light Magic was mostly aggressive like Eight-Section Light Wheel, he had always sought higher tiers of Holy Light usage.

Now, during the treatment, he was experiencing higher-tier Holy Light, slowly learning along the way.

In the consciousness space, the dormitory’s Little Witch was furious, though it was futile, as she couldn’t even leave the consciousness space.

She was already more purely a soul body, couldn’t even materialize her soul, stuck inside Xue’s body.

She could only stay angry inside, even seeing Alola place her hand over Xue’s heart, bury herself in a pillow, avoiding what she couldn’t change.

"I’m back." Fafnir’s voice came from outside; just as she prepared for an ear-flaring tantrum, she saw a familiar face and calmed down, quietly greeting Xue before heading to the kitchen.

"Did you talk with Fafnir?" Xue asked.

"Yes, chatted for quite a while, the young lady really likes you, genuinely, so after some conversation and guidance, she was fine." Alola smiled.

"Oh." Xue simply replied calmly.

He didn’t seem surprised, also wasn’t very reactive to the Female Pope’s words.

"Your void hasn’t expanded, that’s good, and pathways around the void are growing. As long as you don’t use that power, when there are enough pathways around the void to build a bridge, it won’t be a big problem." The Female Pope withdrew her hand.

"Mm, thank you." Xue smiled.

He looked at his chest’s Flowing Light Sand, puzzled as to why it seemed fuller after leaping today, scratching his head curiously, did many people watch him jump?

He just went to the field to jump as schemed by Little Witch, and Flowing Light Sand seemed to fill up, enough that he could use Genesis for 5 minutes without any energy replenishment.

This one jump compared to several days of his collecting.
