Chapter 323: Set out again, enemies in the sea

When Ye Ning handed the finished [Baolian Lantern] to Lin Xiaoxiao, her mood did not change much.

This is normal. Lin Xiaoxiao is not a person who is good at expressing her emotions. In addition, because her soul is currently incomplete, she is even less able to perceive emotions.

But with the [Baolian Lantern], I think everything will be fine.

However, the first step is to peel off the [Ice Emperor].

And this step is naturally carried out in Zhou Buhui's family club.

In order to ensure the effect, Ye Ning also asked his friends to help, and opened a high-level spirit gathering array through the joint activation of multiple people.

In fact, this kind of formation would be more effective if it was performed by a military formation master, but since it was such a private matter, Ye Ning felt that there was no need to bother the military.

So he got a few high-quality [Spirit Gathering Cards] and used the special formation method he learned from the military to activate a high-level spirit gathering formation commonly used by the military.

As the friends activated the cards, Ye Ning asked Lin Xiaoxiao to sit down, and he officially began to help Lin Xiaoxiao peel off the family heirloom cards.

Ye Ning took a deep breath and then put his hand on Lin Xiaoxiao's head.

At the moment of contact, Ye Ning released his mental power, and then began to slowly enter Lin Xiaoxiao's body.

To be more precise, it entered the consciousness space within Lin Xiaoxiao's brain.

If you want to strip the soul from a card, you must first touch the soul.

After all, the process of strengthening heirloom cards is to erode the soul, so the easiest way to strip them is to reverse the process.

This is why this method requires such a high level of mental strength.

After all, everyone knows that practicing a skill in reverse is definitely much more difficult than practicing it the right way.

What Ye Ning has to do is equivalent to reverse training the family heirloom cards.

Because his mental power was far stronger than Lin Xiaoxiao's, when Lin Xiaoxiao took the initiative to let Ye Ning enter without any defense, he found Lin Xiaoxiao's consciousness space almost instantly and entered it accurately.

A bone-chilling coldness instantly shook Ye Ning's mental strength.

At that moment, Ye Ning felt as if he was encountering extremely cold weather.

Although his mental power was very strong, at this moment his mental power left his body and entered Lin Xiaoxiao's body. Even as strong as he was, he could not withstand the special coldness.

And Lin Xiaoxiao's soul is bearing this chill every moment.

However, this comparison occurred within her consciousness space, so relatively speaking, what she felt was not as obvious as Ye Ning's. The biggest impact she suffered was actually the erosion of her emotions.

"Whoo~"

Exhaling again, Ye Ning increased the infusion of his own mental power in order to slightly relieve the extreme cold. Then he controlled his mental power and began to entangle the extremely cold power.

"Sigh~"

As Ye Ning's mental power moved, Lin Xiaoxiao, who had originally had no reaction, instantly took a breath of cold air.

A deep pain arose from the bottom of her heart. It was an inexplicable pain, a pain that seemed unbearable.

But she had to endure it. She had to bear this pain in her soul. Once she fell into a coma, her soul would become confused, which would bring unnecessary trouble to Ye Ning's soul-stripping behavior.

Fortunately, this pain does not last too long.

After all, the degree of fusion with the [Ice Emperor] is not that high yet. Less than one-tenth of her soul has been eroded by the [Ice Emperor], and the truly fused area is even less than half.

Because Ye Ning's mental strength was so strong, the process was extremely fast. It took less than a minute before the [Ice Emperor] was slowly pulled out.

During this process, Ye Ning directly asked Lin Xiaoxiao to activate the [Baolian Lantern], and he also summoned the [Lady Earthfall].

The various effects of the [Baolian Lantern], combined with the [Earth-Sprung Golden Lotus] and [Bright Light Candle] that could also nourish the soul after the [Earth-Sprung Lady] was upgraded, Lin Xiaoxiao's originally corroded soul was being repaired quickly.

Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao who was immersed in the special feeling of soul recovery, Ye Ning said softly: "Xiaoxiao, activate the [Wish Lantern] directly."

Hearing Ye Ning's voice, Lin Xiaoxiao did not reply. At this moment, Ye Ning's mental power filled her consciousness. At this moment, she didn't want to speak, and even her mind couldn't control her body.

Fortunately, the connection with the card is still there, so I can still control the card.

The power of [Lamp of Wishes] is not like Aladdin's magic lamp. It does not need to be spoken out loud. The card artist only needs to silently recite his thoughts in his heart.

Before starting to peel off, Ye Ning told Lin Xiaoxiao the wish he had made this time.

As the [Baolian Lantern] flickered violently, the golden light instantly flooded the entire room.

Under the golden light, the shell of the peeled-off family card [Ice Emperor] slowly began to melt, and then turned into a blue light and slowly merged into Lin Xiaoxiao's body.

The extremely cold power continued to circulate in Lin Xiaoxiao's body under the control of Ye Ning's mental power. Its main purpose was to allow Lin Xiaoxiao to adapt to this new power that did not belong to the card master system.

Yes!

After all these operations, Lin Xiaoxiao's soul is still being repaired, but the power that belonged to her before has actually returned to her in disguise.

Just in another way.

The extremely cold force slowly gathered in Ye Ning's dantian in a form similar to the Taoist power and Buddhist power in her body.

And like Ye Ning, these powers will then directly absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to grow.

For Lin Xiaoxiao, who owns the family heirloom card, this is basically the best result.

After all, it fills the defects of the soul without losing the strength of the heirloom cards. Naturally, there is no better result than this.

Of course, there are disadvantages.

One of them is that the speed at which the [Ice Emperor]'s ability improves will not be as fast as before.

The previous heirloom card [Ice Emperor] was a power gained by sacrificing souls. Its power naturally became more significant as the number of souls devoured increased.

The mysterious extreme cold power that can only be enhanced by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at this moment can only be achieved through hard practice in the future.

But compared to the price of the soul being devoured and only an obsession driving the body to live, this speed of improvement is enough. What's more, this special power has exceeded the card master himself. It is a magical and special external force. In many cases, it will be more useful than the cards.

And because he possesses more than one of this special power, Ye Ning can feel it very clearly.

This power, which is different from star power, is much better at strengthening the physical body than star power. However, this improvement is not particularly obvious for a comprehensive card master like Ye Ning.

But for an enhanced card master like Lin Xiaoxiao, the improvement is quite huge.

After all, all the abilities of an enhanced card master are based on himself.

The biggest benefit of this special power is that after it is activated, although the effect is roughly the same as before as a card, it is essentially different.

After activating that power, it truly became a part of Lin Xiaoxiao herself, and activating those enhanced cards at this moment would start to build on this basis.

The benefits of this are obvious. It almost instantly increased Lin Xiaoxiao's strength several times.

Feeling the power in her body, Lin Xiaoxiao was extremely surprised.

She never knew there was such power in the world.

But what really surprised her was that she was able to be surprised by this!
This sentence may seem a bit confusing, but it is Lin Xiaoxiao's true feeling.

Unexpectedly, after the family heirloom cards were stripped away, she was able to have emotions again even though her soul had not been completely repaired.

Obviously, the key to her previous loss of emotions was not the loss of soul as she thought at the beginning, but the suppression of her soul by the family card [Ice Emperor].

So this is the reason why the family tradition of finding one's own [scabbard] has been passed down?
Because it is not caused by the lack of soul, so with this weakness, once there is a strong emotion, it can stabilize it, and then fix the emotion within a certain range like a fuse so that it will not be suppressed by the [Ice Emperor].

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Ning who was seriously checking her physical condition, and her heart was slightly touched.

Maybe even if he wasn't as strong as he is now he could still allow himself to have emotions again...

Of course, there is no point in thinking about these things now. After all, the [Ice Emperor] has transformed into a new power and become a part of her body.

There is no if in this world.

The reason why Lin Xiaoxiao felt dazed for a moment at this moment was purely because of the momentary outburst of emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.

After her emotions calmed down, a hint of shyness flashed through her heart.

She didn't know why she thought that way, and she didn't know how her emotions burst out from nothing. It was just that for a moment she felt as if she couldn't look at Ye Ning at this moment.

As soon as I saw it, I felt like my heart was going to jump out.

Lin Xiaoxiao's heart was beating fast at this moment, while Ye Ning on the other side was a little stunned. In order to protect Lin Xiaoxiao's privacy, Ye Ning deliberately blocked some of his senses.

After all, when mental power enters into the consciousness space of others, it can almost touch the deepest part of their hearts.

If he didn't control his perception at all, then almost all of the other party's thoughts would appear in Ye Ning's mind.

Ye Ning didn't want to invade Lin Xiaoxiao's privacy, so he blocked most of his perception at the beginning. The result was that he didn't realize that Lin Xiaoxiao's emotions had begun to recover.

Under such circumstances, Lin Xiaoxiao's soul, which was constantly fluctuating in his mental power and seemed unable to maintain its form, was directly misunderstood by him.

He thought that his strength was too rough and Lin Xiaoxiao's soul could not bear it, so he immediately began to slow down his strength. But at the same time, in order to ensure that Lin Xiaoxiao's body could adapt to the new strength faster, he increased his mental strength.

On Lin Xiaoxiao's side, the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly exploded, and the moment Ye Ning's mental strength increased, that emotion rolled out like a surging wave.

However, due to the effect of Ye Ning's mental power, her body was completely unable to move, and this feeling made her even more "uncomfortable".

Soon, waves of water rippled in her eyes, and the look she gave Ye Ning became softer and softer. If her friends had not been concentrating on activating the [Spirit Gathering Card] at the moment, they would have definitely noticed Lin Xiaoxiao's brushed eyes.

Now Ye Ning finally saw Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, and also saw the blush on her face.

At this moment, Ye Ning finally thought of something and finally understood Lin Xiaoxiao's current state.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he began to reduce his mental input subtly. At the same time, he used a trace of mental power to stimulate Lin Xiaoxiao's new power.

Some of the stimulated power was instantly aroused by it, and then Ye Ning transferred some of it into Lin Xiaoxiao's soul at an extremely fast speed.

As the power of the [Ice Emperor] entered the soul, the soul that had been heating up began to cool down instantly, and Lin Xiaoxiao's originally violent outburst of emotions also calmed down at that moment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Ning quietly withdrew his mental power.

The moment Lin Xiaoxiao was able to move, her whole body went limp. She held her chest lightly, bit her lips with her pearly teeth, and panted softly: "S...Ha...S...Ha...S...Ha..."

Listening to the slightly "rough" breathing, Ye Ning felt inexplicably guilty. He should have been able to anticipate it, but his momentary negligence made the situation seem a little awkward.

He actually knew that Lin Xiaoxiao had a crush on him, but it was at most a little more than a good friend. But at this moment, Ye Ning could feel that the gaze behind him had changed. It was a burning feeling like a thorn in his back.

And the culprit who caused this was himself.

When he thought of this, he felt like he deserved to die!

Why didn’t you think about the consequences of the absence of that emotion and its appearance?

At this moment, although Ye Ning had tried to cool down Lin Xiaoxiao, the problem was still not completely resolved. Lin Xiaoxiao was still feeling abnormal, and most of her emotional outburst turned into special feelings for Ye Ning.

But Ye Ning knew that this feeling was not real. It was just an illusion, a sequelae caused by an emotional outburst.

So when Ye Ning felt Lin Xiaoxiao behind him stand up and rush towards him, he raised his knife and chopped Lin Xiaoxiao's head directly.

Of course, it’s a hand knife.

And the focus is not the hand knife, but the mental power attached to the hand knife. Ye Ning used his mental power as a hammer and hammered at Lin Xiaoxiao's mental power!
The moment Lin Xiaoxiao fainted, Ye Ning supported her and gently placed her on the ground.

Afterwards, Ye Ning called his friends over, but he did not explain the real situation to avoid embarrassment when they met later. He told his friends that he had an important mission and had to leave without waiting for Lin Xiaoxiao to wake up.

After saying goodbye to his friends, he went straight to the airport and boarded his fighter plane.

Accompanied by the roar of fighter planes, Ye Ning set off again.

This time his destination is the south where Feng Zhengxiong is guarding, which is a city connected to the sea!
Feng Zhengxiong told Ye Ning that the sea seemed to have some problems because of the spiritual energy he brought, and some special enemies appeared from the sea. (End of this chapter)
