Chapter 772: Encyclopedia Grandpa

He finally met a human ancestor, a prehistoric human. And he was obviously more reliable than those scum in the Snow God’s Temple! Han Fei certainly would take the chance to ask him some questions.

It seemed that this was the first time Shu Shan chatted with a person in countless years, so he was also being very talkative, saying with a smile, “Any creature has soul energy. Human beings’ soul energy is very mysterious and its specific quantity cannot be calculated. In the past, we discovered that when spiritual beasts fought for some time, their combat power would decrease. And then we learned to calculate their soul energy according to the degree of the decrease of their combat power.”

Han Fei took a breath. No wonder, no wonder the primitive spiritual beasts I saw all had soul energy!

Han Fei asked again, “What about contractual spiritual beasts?”

Shu Shan shook his head. “It’s not the same. Spiritual beasts are almost one with the owner, so their soul energy can be calculated, but contractual spiritual beasts are different. Although their soul energy will also decrease, you can’t detect it. Even when you become stronger in the future, you can only sense the soul energy of your spiritual beasts, but can’t feel that of your contractual spiritual beasts.”

Han Fei seemed to understand. “So, what you mean, Senior, is that I am not strong enough to feel it yet.”

Shu Shan’s voice buzzed, “Yes. But you don’t have to care about soul energy so much. Even if you ask me, I don’t know much about it. You can just take it as something determining the limit of spiritual beasts’ combat power, just like the limit of the human body. All I can tell you is that there is a time limit for everyone to stay fused with their spiritual beasts. You can’t feel it now because your strength is still weak. But in the future, once you feel your spiritual beasts’ combat power weakens, you’d better not use them.”

Han Fei was surprised. “Does it have such a big impact?”

Shu Shan said, “Yes, spiritual beasts will die too! They’re not immortal. After all, they are also creatures! When you’re weak, you’ll also be killed, right?”

Han Fei nodded thoughtfully. “True… Hey, Senior, when can I enter the Soul Sea again?”

Shu Shan smiled and said, “It’s easiest to enter the Soul Sea for the first time. But after the first time, only when you have a breakthrough in the soul can you have a chance to enter again.”

Han Fei asked in amazement, “Breakthrough in the soul?”

Shu Shan nodded. “It means that you can enter the Soul Sea when you make a breakthrough in your soul or realm, or you have some sudden enlightenment. This is uncertain, but generally, it’s related to the soul. Did you eat fish when you were in the Soul Sea?”

Han Fei raised his brows. “How did you know?”

Shu Shan sneered. “Of course. Most people can’t help but swallow the fish as they feel their spiritual beasts upgrading very quickly when they enter the Soul Sea. You felt the same, right?”

Han Fei nodded very cooperatively. It was very quick indeed!

Just now, Little Black and Little White upgraded by three levels in a row. Normally, it would have taken a very long time!

Shu Shan said leisurely, “Actually, this method is wrong. Do you know why your spiritual beast will upgrade when they eat others’ spiritual beasts?”

“Why?”

“Because that is the Soul Sea. When you swallow the primitive spiritual beasts, you actually swallow their soul energy. However, you can’t digest them all. Do you know where the soul energy that you can’t digest is?”

Han Fei didn’t know it, so he immediately asked, “Where is it?”

Shu Shan sighed. “If too much soul energy escapes, it will condense and new creatures will appear. The escaping soul energy, due to the ‘resentment’ of being killed by you, let us call it ‘resentment’… Gather and become a powerful and weird creature. What do you think the result will be?”

Han Fei’s heart did a flip. “Will it take revenge on me?”

Han Fei was sure that if it were him, he would definitely retaliate back. The fish were eaten by him. If they had a chance to retaliate, they would certainly retaliate.

For example, Chun Huangdian killed him at will.

Although he was trying to save people, did he deserve to be killed? Just because he was stronger?

“Look, you’ve guessed it right. So, at this time, your spiritual beasts will automatically get rid of your control, and you will return to reality. When you are gone, the newly-formed creature has no one to vent their resentment, and then nothing will happen.”

Han Fei was puzzled. “That’s not right! Aren’t my spiritual beasts still inside?”

Shu Shan shrugged. “You are you, and your spiritual beasts are your spiritual beasts. This is the rule! No one knows what will happen in the Soul Sea when one returns to reality… So, that’s what everyone thinks.”

Han Fei swallowed. Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world. It’s not realistic to get fat in one bite.

After thinking about it a little, Han Fei suddenly took a breath. “Senior, you said the escaped soul energy will form a new creature. Does it mean the greater the resentment, the stronger the formed creature? Is it how those super strong spiritual beasts were born?”

The bracelet was silent for a while. “Others have guessed the same as you, but no one has confirmed this assumption.”

…

Han Fei was swimming all the way back deadpan, and occasionally, someone was looking at him. However, he didn’t care.

Han Fei asked, “Senior, you said that you only have a wisp of soul left now? Then what are you going to do? Will you possess someone’s body? Do you need me to find you a proper sea demon?”

“Get lost!”

Shu Shan was annoyed. “I… I’m a human being. Why should I be a fish? At least, you should find me a Mermaid.”

Han Fei: “…”

Han Fei was speechless. He seemed to know this man a little bit, who was mild-tempered, easy-going, broad-minded, and liked to make jokes.

Han Fei rolled his eyes and said, “A Mermaid? I don’t even know where they are. How can I find one for you?”

Shu Shan sighed. “Then you can find a human being for me.”

Han Fei frowned. “Senior, that’s not good. If you possess a human being’s body, they will be dead.”

Shu Shan snorted. “Did I ask you to find a living person? Find me a dead one, OK?”

Han Fei said helplessly, “Senior, take a look at where we are… We are in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley. Yes, this is no longer your city but the gathering place of sea demons. There are only demons here, no humans. And I can’t leave for a while.”

Shu Shan didn’t care. “You’ll leave here one day. I’m not in a hurry. Find me a good body. I want someone with a good spiritual heritage and physique.”

Han Fei’s face turned black. “What about my body?”

On Han Fei’s wrist, the bracelet immediately shook. “Okay! You are pretty good, talented, and smart.”

Han Fei sneered. Yes, in your dreams!

Han Fei replied, “Okay, I can’t chat with you anymore. I can’t leave here for a while. They want me to explore some secret realm. By then, there will be a lot of Heavenly Talents going there with me. I think there must be a lot of treasures there. Maybe I can grab some Spirit Awakening Fluid for you.”

…

Yu Ji’s Weapon Shop.

Yu Ji had already been waiting here.

When Han Fei came back, Yu Ji looked strange. “Did you use me to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Valley?”

Han Fei looked cold. “No, I just happened to meet you.”

Yu Ji looked a little unhappy. “Happened to meet? Although I knew you were very talented, I didn’t expect you to be a legendary creature. How could a legendary creature be afraid of Yu Yue?”

Han Fei was silent and then said, “At that time, I didn’t know any combat skills.”

Yu Ji changed the topic. “I heard that you promised to do three things for Master Chixue. Then, you also owe me a favor. Can you promise to do one thing for me?”

Han Fei was stunned for a moment. Come on, I saved your life… Okay? Although I used you to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, I saved your life. You should be grateful that I spared your life!

But he was in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley and Han Fei knew he’d better be cautious, so he looked at Yu Ji. “What do you want me to do for you?”

Yu Ji also said with a cold look, “I haven’t decided yet. I’ll tell you later. After you do it for me, we’re even.”

Han Fei said flatly, “Okay…”

Behind, Yu Fu secretly let out a sigh. Thank God Han Fei didn’t tell Yu Ji I betrayed her.

However, it was not surprising. How would Han Fei, such a peerless talent, care about such a trivial matter?

It was a pity that he hadn’t found favor with him earlier.

…

Han Fei stayed in the store for about half an hour.

A Half-Merman swam over, who looked good.

When the Half-Merman saw Han Fei, he immediately bowed to him. “Master Yu Fei, Master Chixue has arranged for me to wait on you. My name is Yu Qi. Your house is placed next to Miss Yu Ji’s house. Are you going to have a look now?”

When Yu Ji heard this, her eyes widened, and she couldn’t help asking, “Why next to mine?”

Yu Qi said respectfully, “Miss Yu Ji, this is the arrangement of Master Chixue.”

Han Fei said indifferently, “Let’s go!”

Although Yu Ji was a Half-Mermaid, Han Fei didn’t quite hate her. She was a strong and tough woman. If she weren’t a sea demon, Han Fei felt that she might become his friend.

But this was impossible now. If they met in the future, there would have to be a life-or-death battle between them.

And Han Fei even felt that once he left the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, there was a great possibility that he would kill her.

So he’d better not have too much contact with her.

…

Ten Thousand Demons Tower.

The top floor.

Han Fei looked at the ring-shaped pillars inward, lost in thought.

Now that he had explored the Ancient 72-Floor Demon Realm, it was time for Little Black to steal treasures.

After all, his main purpose of sneaking into the Ten Thousand Demon Valley was to steal treasures. Better make everyone in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley panic, and then it would be easier for him to get out of there.

At this moment, he heard Yu Qi say behind him, “Master Yu Fei, are you going to cultivate? If you do, I’ll be guarding outside.”

Han Fei suddenly asked, “Well, Did Master Chixue give me anything?”

Yu Qi: “???”

Han Fei said with a straight face, “Spiritual spring, spiritual stones, weapons, etc. I heard that all those who live here have Semi-Divine Weapons, right?”

Yu Qi: “…”
