Becoming God With Spirits - Chapter 52

Chapter 52: The Three-Yang Body

Huh… Yang Qi? What’s going on?

Zhou Kai was somewhat surprised.

Literally, this Yang Qi should be the vitality of a living person, as humans could only live with Yang Qi.

Female spirits in movies seemed to be sucking Yang Qi from living people!

However, could this Yang Qi be increased?

While he was curious, Zhou Kai saw a blood-red shadow pass through his body.

Ding-Dong: An evil child attacked you. Yang Qi +1.

Ding-Dong: You’ve been attacked by…

Ding-Dong: An evil child attacked you. Yang Pulse +1.

Ding-Dong: You’ve been attacked by…

Ding-Dong: An evil child attacked you. You’ve learned a supernatural power called Three-Yang Body.

Ding-Dong: Information regarding your supernatural power has been sent. Please accept it.

He had gotten used to hearing the Ding-Dong sounds by now. Then, he received information.

When he digested the information, Zhou Kai’s gaze flickered and he couldn’t contain his surprise anymore.

The Three-Yang Body was definitely the best supernatural power he had obtained and the one with the greatest potential.

This supernatural power was neither used for offense nor for defense. Its greatest use was integration.

Courageous Steel Mind, Strong Physique, Cold Immunity, Poison Immunity, and other supernatural powers related to the body could be integrated into the Three-Yang Body, thus allowing him to constantly advance and forge an unrivaled godly body.

With the Three-Yang Body, Zhou Kai didn’t even need any extravagant cultivation techniques, as his body would be the best foundation for cultivation. As long as he kept fighting to advance the Three-Yang Body, it would be better than any cultivation technique.

Where is this brat from? He can bring me great benefits!

Zhou Kai turned around and looked at the dumbfounded child.

He seemed to be around six or seven years old, his hair was tied up in two parts, and he was wearing a red dudou[1]. He also had delicate features and soft cheeks, which made people want to pinch them.

At the moment, the child was staring at Zhou Kai in disbelief.

“How did you die?” Zhou Kai asked it straightforwardly.

The child, who came back to his senses, did not answer. Instead, he screamed, “This is impossible! How come you’re unharmed? Why can’t I suck away your Yang Qi?”

Zhou Kai laughed. “Little brat, how could I have let you out if I didn’t have any abilities?”

The child was terrified.

That was also true. This person had been bullying him all this time, so he did not fear him. This was definitely something only someone with confidence would do! He had met a harsh person.

Without saying anything else, the child turned around and transformed into a stream of red light to flee.

However, before he could go out of the door, a shadow stopped him and struck back.

The child turned pale with fright and ran to the other side, but a shadow floated over and blocked his way out. It slapped him back to that place.

The child landed on the ground and saw a smiling old man and a cold-faced woman with evil intentions that were no weaker than him.

The child’s face turned very ugly, as it knew that it was going to fall this time.

The child climbed up, turned around, and instantly revealed a smiling face, just like the face-changing performers in Sichuan operas. He looked very friendly as he said softly, “Big Brother, I was just messing with you. Don’t mind me.”

Zhou Kai smiled. “I don’t mind. Come on, tell me how you died.”

The child quickly answered, “I died from an illness.”

Zhou Kai asked, “Are you sure?”

The child looked at Zhou Kai, feeling somewhat guilty.

It felt uncomfortable all over upon thinking about what Zhou Kai had done to it. Now that he had two helpers, it had no grounds for resisting.

However, if he told him the truth, he would be coveted and controlled, which was something it was unwilling to accept.

Zhou Kai, who managed to notice the child’s hesitation, added, “Are you worried that after you tell me, I’ll make use of you and control you like Daoist Priest Ming Xin?”

The child remained silent.

Zhou Kai said with a smile, “Actually, you should be worrying about the consequences of not saying anything. I’ll let the two of them share you.”

The eyes of Tong Leqing and the enchanting woman’s evil thought lit up at the same time.

The child: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

“Are you telling me or not?”

“I’ll tell you.” While facing Zhou Kai’s calm expression, the child instantly gave up resisting.

What if he encountered a demon? He would, of course, submit.

Mm-hmm!

Zhou Kai showed that he was listening.

The child then told him his story.

It was called Yuan Liang and had died 21 years ago. He had only been eight years old when he had died.

During that period, his cause of death had indeed been an illness. He’d had a fever for three days and had been burned to death.

However, ever since Yuan Liang had died, he hadn’t known anything else and he’d thought that things had turned for the better. Before he could be reincarnated in time, he had become a lonely spirit.

Theoretically, after humans died, based on the difference in their soul, some could be lonely spirits for a very long time. The longest period would be three to five years, and the shortest would be a few months.

By the time Yuan Liang had found out that he had died, it had been too late.

Afterward, he had been separated from the mortal world. His parents had given all their love to his younger siblings. Heartbroken, Yuan Liang had gone far away, wandering around and leading a lonely life without anyone to rely on.

Then, he had met Daoist Priest Ming Xin.

Perhaps it was due to his bad fate, but he had been bullied by Daoist Priest Ming Xin and had fallen into the trap, thus becoming the evil spirit protector that Daoist Priest Ming Xin had refined.

At that moment, Yuan Liang realized that he had not died of a disease but because his Yang Qi was so vigorous that his body couldn’t handle it.

The problem was the Three-Yang Pulse.

It was an excellent bloodline for cultivators but a source of pain for mortals.

People who cultivated with the Three-Yang Pulse could experience a leap in their progress and have bright prospects.

However, the Three-Yang pulse contained extremely strong Yang Qi. For mortals who didn’t cultivate, the Yang Qi was like fire. It would get worse each day. Once it erupted, the body would be unable to tolerate it, which in turn would harm the mortal.

Yuan Liang was a child from a remote mountain village. Without an opportunity to cultivate, he had naturally died.

However, when a person died, their soul would still contain the three-yang characteristics and have the ability to exist for a long time. Even when it came to evil magic, such a soul was an excellent material.

When Daoist Priest Ming Xin had discovered that, he had mulled over how to refine Yuan Liang into an evil spirit child so that he could cultivate safely.

However, Daoist Priest Ming Xin had done many evil things. Heaven had delivered his retribution through Zhou Kai. As a result, Yuan Liang, the evil spirit child, had not been refined successfully.

By the time Yuan Liang finished talking about this, his face was already full of tears. Anyone who saw that could sense his sorrow and pain and hence took pity on him.

Zhou Kai was also silent. His grave expression had caused surprise and anticipation to appear in Yuan Liang’s eyes.

“Big Brother, I’ve done many wrong things in the past. However, I was forced by Daoist Priest Ming Xin. I want to become a good spirit. I hope you can give me a chance and let me off.” Yuan Liang pleaded while whimpering.

Zhou Kai said, “You have something in your soul that other spirits don’t have: a kind of spirituality. I don’t know if it’s the effect of the Three-Yang Pulse, but you should have been a good spirit in the past that didn’t harm anyone first.”

Yuan Liang was pleasantly surprised. “Big Brother, thank you.”

Zhou Kai said, “However, I still can’t let you off.”

Um…

The joy on Yuan Liang’s face froze as he looked at Zhou Kai while feeling dumbfounded.

Zhou Kai grinned. “Because I’m not a good person. Ha ha ha ha ha ha…”

Yuan Liang was speechless.
