Chapter 537: Chapter 538: Soul Orb_1

"Can’t we just climb over the wall to enter the city through the main gate?"

Feng Yuan understood Mo Li’s meaning and with some disdain, said, "Mo Ling gave Feng Yuan a speechless look and said,

"If we do that, we’ll likely be treated as invaders."

"Isn’t it okay as long as we’re not discovered?"

"Let’s forget it... We originally snuck out just to relax; if we make a big scene..."

Mo Li helplessly denied the suggestion. Climbing the city walls could easily lead to misunderstandings. Places like inns at night would require proof of entry into the city. Maybe smaller places weren’t strictly managed, but in slightly larger cities, if you dared to climb the walls, even if you weren’t discovered, it would be meaningless. You wouldn’t be able to stay in places like inns, not to mention the trouble if soldiers checked and you couldn’t provide entry proof.

Being treated as invaders was not impossible, after all, wandering travelers often had strong skills, and avoiding the guards on the city walls wasn’t difficult. But what the authorities feared most were those who didn’t use the city gates and climbed the walls instead. It’s not like entry was forbidden, but if you still chose to climb the walls, your purpose would naturally be suspect.

"Wouldn’t that be fun?"

Feng Yuan said with a mischievous smile. Mo Ling glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"If you’re willing to let the White Wolf Deity take action, then sure, but without his help, it’s unlikely we could escape pursuit."

Although Zi Mo’s strength was not weak, it was only at the Elite Level. Even in a relatively weaker country like Nanyu Kingdom, Spirit Beasts of Rare Level or even Legendary Level could still be found. They might not join the pursuit at the beginning, but after repeated escapes, those Spirit Beasts might get involved.

"That won’t do, the White Wolf Deity makes too much noise when he takes action."

"But it would be so much fun to go over the wall..."

Feng Yuan said somewhat unhappily. Guo Huai gave Feng Yuan a speechless glance and said,

"If things get out of hand, you’ll still be the one to deal with the aftermath. Why bother?"

"Tch! That’s so boring~"

Just then, Feng Yuan saw Little Green Snake slowly emerge with its tail coiled around an orb and said somewhat helplessly,

"Isn’t it too big... But if it’s any smaller, it won’t be much use..."

Little Green Snake looked pitifully at Feng Yuan while holding the orb as if it was a treasure. Xiao Ji, with its tuft of hair twitching pitifully on its head, looked at Feng Yuan. After a moment’s hesitation, Little Green Snake passed the orb to Xiao Ji. Feng Yuan glanced and said,

"Don’t give it to him; the Wolf God Orb is no use to him."

Guo Huai had just arrived and wasn’t clear about Feng Yuan’s meaning, but after seeing the information on Little Green Snake’s tail, his eyes widened in surprise and said,

"What’s the deal with that thing!"

"What situation?"

"That Soul Orb on Little Green Snake’s tail! That thing... Okay, I get it now..."

After looking at Feng Yuan, Guo Huai silently wept in his heart, thinking about how his own system, despite being able to display a lot of real-time status information, didn’t have many reliable features. Although it could help with searching and organizing information, he had been led astray by the data so many times that now Guo Huai didn’t trust those pieces of information much.

Looking at Feng Yuan again, who had all sorts of strange and unusual items and knew about many things more clearly than himself. Although Guo Huai had once asked Feng Yuan whether he had a system and was denied, now he still suspected whether Feng Yuan indeed had some kind of extravagant system; otherwise, how could he have so many things?

"That thing? I gave it to him. Why? You want one too?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Guo Huai looked at him expectantly and said,

"Is that possible?"

"It’s not impossible... Your Pu Pu mainly relies on spiritual power attributes, so this is quite important to it. Take it, keep it safe; if you lose it, there won’t be another one."

Feng Yuan said while tossing a fist-sized Soul Orb over. Pu Pu emitted a cloud of purple mist in mid-air, wrapping the Soul Orb within the mist. Due to incorporating the Soul Orb, Pu Pu’s smoky body grew larger.

"Thanks~"

Guo Huai understood how rare this item was. Even though it might not seem much to Feng Yuan, it was a very important artifact to him. Hua Yiyou asked with some confusion,

"What’s the use of that thing?"

"Long-term exposure can slowly enhance a Spirit Beast’s spiritual power, but while it outwardly boosts spiritual power, it actually increases the potential upper limit of spiritual power."

Guo Huai said, looking at Xiao Ji, who was getting angry.

"The enhancement provided by the Soul Orb has its limits, and it can’t increase spiritual power for beings with excessive potential. Even if their current spiritual power is weak, it’s because the orb itself doesn’t enhance the spiritual power but only the potential."

"This is making my head spin..."

Mo Ling rubbed her temples and said while Guo Huai glanced at Xiao Ji.

"To put it simply, for someone like Xiao Ji with tremendous potential, the Soul Orb is ineffective because it fundamentally enhances potential, and its potential is not something that the orb can increase."

"It has tremendous potential?"

Mo Ling looked at Guo Huai questioningly.

"But isn’t it already quite strong now?"

"If you’re referring to after its transformation, then that has little to do with its current strength. The power after transforming is all borrowed, akin to how we borrow the power of Spirit Beasts."

"So that’s how it is..."

After hearing the explanation and testing the Soul Orb again, Xiao Ji had to admit, with disappointment, that the Soul Orb was indeed useless for it. The phantom of Agunas wasn’t sure whether to be happy or sad for Xiao Ji.

Ascending to the sky and gaining the potential of Divine Beasts made Xiao Ji’s path much smoother, but as a result, the trials and assistance disappeared too, and the short cuts that proved ineffective were not limited to just the Soul Orb.

Many Spirit Beast Potions are fundamentally meant to boost a Spirit Beast’s potential, but in practice, they enhance the current strength of the Spirit Beast. However, all those potions were useless to Xiao Ji, which meant that it could only grow stronger on its own. Although it wouldn’t face insurmountable obstacles, there was also no aid to hasten its growth.

Using spatial power to shrink the Soul Orb into a small bead, Feng Yuan maliciously hung it around Little Green Snake’s neck. Aside from Guo Huai, no one caught Feng Yuan’s ’malicious intent.’ With an exasperated look, Guo Huai said helplessly,

"Why do I feel like you’re a bit mischievous?"

"Me?"

Feng Yuan looked innocently at Guo Huai, and Little Green Snake, looking at the bead on its neck, scratched its head with the tip of its tail, not quite understanding what Guo Huai meant. Covering his face, Guo Huai said without words,

"Are you also planning to dye it sky blue?"

"Why dye it? Coloring is harmful to the bodies of Spirit Beasts."

"Even though I don’t know what you are talking about, are you sure you don’t want to go down for breakfast?"

Yao Yin glanced at the two and said, then turned and followed Mo Li and the others downstairs. Feng Yuan spread his hands,

"I think you must have misunderstood."

"Really?"

Guo Huai, swayed by Feng Yuan’s words, began to doubt whether he was overreacting; after all, it was just hanging a bead. Just then, as he spotted Feng Yuan putting a hat with a cartoon wing on each side on Little Green Snake’s head, Guo Huai covered his face and said,

"You still say it isn’t..."

"So what if it is~"

Feng Yuan, while speaking, scooped up Xiao Ji and Pomiti and ran downstairs. Guo Huai looked at his precious Pu Pu holding the Soul Orb, sighed, and followed them downstairs for breakfast.

"Is it really okay to let them out like this?"

Looking at the Da Yuan Cats walking alongside everyone, Guo Huai asked worriedly. These cats were not behaving; often they would suddenly jump onto one’s shoulders, rub their fluffy heads against you, and then leap away just as you were about to touch them. Guo Huai worried that the cats might wander off or encounter an accident while playing, which would be troublesome.

Feng Yuan picked up a little red Da Yuan Cat that had jumped onto him and said,

"What’s the problem? Haven’t they been living in the wild all this time before?"

The little Da Yuan Cat looked pitifully at Feng Yuan. It had been very careful, attempting to run after just a rub, only to end up being held by the neck with its helpless paws dangling in the air. A big Da Yuan Cat glanced at the little red one with a look that said "look at this fool." It didn’t dare to test Feng Yuan’s reflexes, yet this idiot dared to provoke Feng Yuan despite not being as agile.
