Chapter 395: Chapter 190: It’s Quite Normal for the Righteous Faction’s Boss to Know the Soul Capturing Array, Right?

Wu Man’s condition was very bad.

When Wang Jixuan saw Wu Man, the frail young man was already pale, his breathing weak, bearing a striking resemblance to his appearance just after emerging from the nutrition pod.

A cursory examination with his Spiritual Sense revealed that Wu Man seemed to be afflicted with a condition of soul loss.

However, as Wang Jixuan took his pulse and conducted a Soul Search with closer observation, he quickly noticed...

Wu Man’s Heavenly Soul had become extremely faint.

Humans have Three Souls and Seven Spirits, the intermingling of which supports life; a Cultivator reaches the Gathering Spirit Realm by solidifying the Three Souls and Seven Spirits into the Primordial Soul to prepare for Nascent Soul cultivation and the continual transformation alongside realm advancement.

Spiritual Ability Users naturally do not practice this.

Wang Jixuan previously carried out the Memory Peeping Technique on Wu Man.

At that time, Wu Man was on the brink of death, his body ravaged by mottled Qi, and his Life Soul among the Three Souls and Seven Spirits was particularly insubstantial.

But now, aside from the Heavenly Soul, the other two Souls and Seven Spirits were clearly visible; the Earth Soul and Life Soul were in their respective places, the Seven Spirits condensed within the internal organs, while only the Heavenly Soul remained, faint to the point of being barely an imprint.

’Because he is a clone of a Beast Speaker? Was he sabotaged by the Beast Speaker?’

Wang Jixuan took a silver needle, pierced Wu Man’s forehead with it, and used a strand of Primordial Soul Power to stabilize the young man’s fading Heavenly Soul. Then he sent Zheng Shiduo to inquire if there were any other clones in the D5 combat zone and asked Ji Xiao, who had escorted Wu Man back, to come forward for comparative investigation.

Ji Xiao was unharmed.

As the foundation for an A-Level Telekinesis Spirit Ability User, his Three Souls and Seven Spirits were much stronger than those of Wu Man.

With this, the possibility of Telekinesis Spirit Ability Users naturally possessing faint Heavenly Souls could essentially be ruled out.

A few minutes later, Zheng Shiduo hurried back.

"There are a few clones involved in experiments in D5. As soon as I mentioned you wanted them, they said they would send them right away, it will take two hours!"

"Good."

Wang Jixuan leaned against the medical room wall, arms crossed, gazing intently at Wu Man as he pondered deeply.

"Was there anything unusual in the area you were guarding?"

"Nothing unusual," Zheng Shiduo muttered, "I was always on the lookout, while Wu Man was reading in the back."

Ji Xiao also said, "The front line knew we seven could counteract S-Level combat power, so they formed us into an emergency reserve team. Apart from joining the defense when we first arrived at the front line, we didn’t really engage in combat after that."

"You two rest up first; I’ll keep an eye on Wu Man."

Wang Jixuan instructed:

"Captain Zheng, don’t leave for the time being, there’s something to be delivered to you."

Zheng Shiduo frowned and asked, "What is it?"

Of course, it was the special elixir that Uncle Tai had sent out, which was still en route.

Wang Jixuan was eager to see whether or not it would have any effect after Zheng Shiduo took it.

"It’s the Blade Beast Crystal Core," Wang Jixuan joked seriously, "Haven’t you always felt your strength to be too low at only C-Level? Jin Gu Gang gave me some inspiration, do you want to try, placing the Crystal Core inside you?"

Zheng Shiduo was stunned for a moment.

In just three seconds, his expression went from shocked surprise to sudden realization, then turned expectantly hopeful.

He grinned slightly, tiptoed a bit, and asked softly with a face that seemed somewhat sleazy, "Can it be administered rectally?"

"Get lost!"

"Hey, how would you like me to roll out gracefully?"

Wang Jixuan almost summoned his flying sword!

Several hours later.

Wang Jixuan examined the souls of two Clone Soldiers and found no abnormalities; their Heavenly Souls were intact.

He asked Black Shell Instructor for information about spiritual energy monitoring reports from the front line.

During the period Wu Man’s symptoms appeared, no significant Blade Beast Group activity had been detected.

The situation seemed to be at a standstill.

Fortunately, Wang Jixuan’s Soul Stabilization techniques had taken effect, and Wu Man’s condition had not worsened.

Wang Jixuan tried several methods to stabilize and enhance Wu Man’s soul, but while there were substantial improvements to the Life Soul, the Heavenly Soul showed no progress.

He pondered carefully.

According to a certain Righteous Path cultivation text, when a living being is born into this world, the Three Souls and Seven Spirits manifest from the Primordial Spirit; the Heavenly Soul, residing at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, senses the pure Qi, while the Earth Soul, located where the turbid Qi accumulates, dispels the turbidity.

There are also texts from the Demon Path that contain special cultivation methods, placing the Heavenly Soul in the heavenly rivers and hiding the Earth Soul in the Nether Sea, drawing power from the heavens and earth for the Life Soul.

The loss of the Heavenly Soul alone is extremely rare.

He called Shen Qionglin over and asked the professor to help with a consultation to see if there were any spiritual techniques that could help.

If Shen Qionglin had no solution either, then he would have to resort to some unorthodox methods.

"A clone of a Beast Speaker..."

Shen Qionglin looked over Wu Man’s data as her two female assistants efficiently affixed various sensors to Wu Man’s body.

Wang Jixuan sat meditating comfortably to the side.

Another half an hour passed, and Shen Qionglin approached Wang Jixuan with a somber expression, her hands tucked into the pockets of her white lab coat, squatting in front of him.

"Is this clone someone very important to you?"

"Pretty much, I’m quite fond of this young man."

"Then I may have to tell you some rather unwelcome news."

Shen Qionglin pursed her lips:

"His condition matches a phenomenon that might occur during certain experiments."

"What experiments?"

"Preparatory experiments for the advancement of Spiritual Ability Users."

Shen Qionglin pushed up her new flat glasses and explained succinctly:

"Spiritual Ability Users advancing to A-Level and above are eligible to participate, and the main method is for the strong to engulf the weak, which should be a comprehensive act of absorption."

"I’ve only ever received some information; how exactly advancement is achieved is not my field of research."

"This also originates from the technology of Spirit Cultivators."

"Generally speaking, clones of A-Level and S-Level Spiritual Ability Users are prepared experimental materials for them since the genetic match is nearly perfect, making absorption seem more seamless."
