Chapter 1994: A Soul Attack Manual
“I have something to ask,” Ning Shu sat down and said to the silver-haired man.
The silver-haired man sat opposite Ning Shu. “I promised you three consultation opportunities, this is the last one.”
“No, I’ll pay the bill this time. Leave the opportunity for next time.” Ning Shu waved her hand. She wanted to save that opportunity for the future in case anything important came up. Right now, she was just trying to choose a secret manual. There was no need to waste such an important free chance.
“What do you want to ask?” The silver-haired man looked at Ning Shu as he placed one hand on the thick book.
“I want to cultivate a soul attack manual. What kind of manual should I exchange for?” asked Ning Shu.
The silver-haired man was speechless for a good while. “That’s all?”
“Yeah.” Ning Shu nodded. “The secret manuals are too expensive, and choosing is hard.”
“You can use mental strength to compress soul power to form an attack.” The silver-haired man raised his hand, and an attacking weapon similar to a dagger was formed in his hand.
“See this? This sort of attack can be accomplished solely with your own mental strength. There’s no need for any secret manual. However, you do need to practice it diligently. It’s a way to hone your mastery of your mental strength and soul power.”
“The secret manuals simply turn soul power into attack power. It has nothing to do with mental strength,” said the silver-haired man.
Ning Shu tried it, but it didn’t work. She tried several times without success and ended up feeling quite exhausted.
“Just go back and practice hard. The consultation fee is 3 million points,” said the silver-haired man.
Ning Shu’s eyes popped out. “That expensive?”
The silver-haired man swept a glance at Ning Shu, then said in a very gentlemanly way, “A soul cultivation secret manual requires at least a thousand merit points or faith points. If those were turned into experience points, it would probably be 50 million experience points.”
“Is 3 million points expensive?” asked the silver-haired man.
Ning Shu nodded. “It’s expensive.”
Ning Shu paid the three million points and left.
In the end, it was pretty worth it.
When she got back to the system space, she started practicing the soul attack. She used her mental strength to compress her soul power into an attacking force.
However, despite all her practice, she didn’t succeed a single time. Practice makes perfect, but she couldn’t find a way to integrate the two forces at all.
After practicing for a while, she felt very exhausted. She had over-exerted her concentration.
She decided to stop practicing the soul attack and instead sat down on the sofa to start practicing the Unsurpassable Martial Arts. She started absorbing the pure soul energy in the space.
Once her energy recovered somewhat, she started practicing compressing her soul energy again. After practicing for a very long time, she finally formed it into the shape of a wooden stick. However, the shape was quite irregular.
How come the silver-haired man had been able to compress his soul energy into any form he liked at will, but she couldn’t?
He was able to transform his soul power into a weapon of his liking. Ning Shu suspected that the gun that the school doctor uncle used to eliminate people was formed from soul power.
With this comparison, she seriously was weak.
There was no choice but to slowly practice.
At the start, everything was like when a child first starts walking. You always started off slow and clumsy.
After practicing for another while, she was mentally exhausted to the point that she really could not continue and had to stop. She rested for a while, then reflexively said to 2333, “Let’s see the next entrustor.”
Then she remembered that 2333 wasn’t talking anymore.
“Do you wish to see the entrustor now?” A mechanical voice appeared.
“Yes, I do.” Ning Shu nodded.
“Alright.”
A soul gradually appeared in the system space. She was wearing movement facilitating ancient era clothing and her hair was brushed back into a very long ponytail. Her looks also were rather pleasant.
When she saw Ning Shu, she said, “I want a counterattack.”
