My Big Brother is Seeking Death Again

Chapter 32: The legendary physique.

What happened next refreshed the group's outlook on ghosts.

Not only the fire magic, but other magic spells used by Zhen Bing were also eaten by the ghosts. Each time, the result was the same, he used the water dragon magic trick, which was chewed, called out the earth wall and was swallowed again, even the spirit sword was also chewed. The only damage was done by the wind blade, cutting the already cut off limbs to pieces.

But before the three could become happy, the ghosts just giggled and picked up the fallen limbs before inserting themselves with them again.

The three people present: ""

"How about I try punching them?" Long Aotian waved his fist and punched the nearest evil ghost.

"Don't joke, ghosts don't have physical bodies, how can you punch them fly! Crap!" Shi Xia's eyes widened as she looked at the evil ghost that was punched by Long Aotian and fell to the ground.

It really works ah! This is not nature's law!

She immediately exchanged a look with Zhen Bing, and the three of them directly switched to meatball smashing mode. Shi Xia held up a defensive barrier, while Zhen Bing and Long Aotian began to wave their fists to the left and right. As they beat the surrounding evil ghosts, they moved slowly towards the front.

Although these evil ghosts were scary, the good thing was that they didn't use or knew how to use magic. Their attacks towards the group of three seemed instinctive, either biting or scratching. Long Aotian is originally a martial arts cultivator, his physical quality, needless to say, is strong. And Zhen Bing is a sixth-rank spirit animal, so he is strong too. But facing a group of evil ghosts, they were barely able to cope. One of their disadvantages was that the ghosts were just ghosts, not living things. If a person is punched by Long Aotian's fist, the chances of the person getting up from the ground is less. But because they were facing a bunch of evil ghosts, no matter how much they pushed or punched, those stubborn ghosts would immediately crawl forward and try to bite them again. So the total number of ghosts were the same as before.

But if this continued, sooner or later, the group would run out of strength. Shi Xia also found that some of the ghosts were particularly vicious, other ghosts couldn't withstand Long Aotian's solid punch, but only those few, not only they didn't have any effect, they could even easily dodge away. Shi Xia's heart sank, maintaining the barrier, she took a closer look to those ghosts. These few evil ghosts weren't the same ones that swallowed their spells before.

Could it be that their spiritual energy is not only harmful to them, but also beneficial?

She didn't have time to think about it, because the group fell in trouble again. The more they moved forward, the denser the path at the front became. They also became fiercer and started to move closer and closer to the group. Their horrible claws and teeth were scratching the barrier, almost knocking it out.

The boundary was becoming more and more unstable and difficult to maintain. When it was on the verge of collapsing, a broken-legged ghost rushed out. Shi Xia instantly recognized this as the one that ate the fireball before. It stretched out its black hand, where dozens of centimeters long nails grew out of nowhere and raised its hand before slashing towards the barrier. The barrier instantly broke.

The long claws came straight towards her face, she could even see the black gas faintly surrounding the claws.

"Xia Xia!" Zhen Bing was startled, and the spiritual energy of his body was about to be released.

Shi Xia's heart tightened, her mind went blank. She reflexively released the spiritual power in her body and exclaimed loudly, "Get out of the way!"

Just at that time, the spiritual energy of her body turned into a white light, and burst out in all directions. The circle of evil ghosts surrounding them, instantly disappeared, as if evaporated into thin air. Not to mention the ghosts, even their ghostly shadows were also gone.

When Shi Xia came back to her senses, except for the three of them, the ghosts surrounding them, both from back and forth, disappeared completely, making the place in front of them that was dense with ghosts empty. At the radius of five or six meters of the ground surrounding them seemed to isolate them from the ghosts by creating a circular vacuum belt.

The three people, including all the remaining ghosts, were stunned at what happened.

The scene was eerily quiet.

Uh what just happened?

Ten seconds later

"Ahhhhhhhhh " the ghosts suddenly let out a terrified and mournful scream which could be described as "supersonic high level decibel" sound. The ghosts, who had just been united to scratch their claws and bite at them, suddenly looked like they had seen a ghost ah no! As if they had seen things more horrible than them and began to run around in panic.

They looked extremely panicked with fear, everywhere they looked, the ghosts were running. Some of them were holding each other and shivering, some buried their heads into the ground like an ostrich, some stuck themselves to the ground as if unwilling to come down. Some even began to pick up other ghosts' legs, inserted themselves with that and began to run faster.

Everything became chaotic in an instant

The only thing that was similar to them was that each ghost was pulling its voice to howl, crying miserably as if it had suffered a great grievance. The ghosts' voices were also extraordinarily shrill, piercing the eardrums with a burst of pain.

Shi Xia couldn't help but roar again, "Shut up!"

The words just fell, and all the ghosts, whether they were fleeing for their lives, or climbing the wall, or stealing legs, or screaming, everything stopped abruptly. They even tightly covered their mouths.

The whole room was quiet again, except for the sound of a certain skeleton ghost who was shaking its bones and rattling.

When Shi Xia glanced at the skeleton, it became even more scared and began to shake louder. The longer she stared, the more it shook. Finally, it couldn't overcome the fear and all the bones of its body shattered to the ground.

Uh

-_-|||

Shi Xia had a head full of black lines. Just now, wasn't this group of ghosts very arrogant and very fierce? Now, what are they even afraid of? She hadn't done anything yet!

"Benefactor " Long Aotian looked at her with a face of adoration, his eyes were full of sparkling stars as he exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to know the art of taming ghosts!"

"Tame you a hair line ah!" Shi Xia gave him a blank look, "I never learned this kind of ghostly stuff, okay?"

"Then why did they " Long Aotian showed a puzzled face, this group of ghosts is obviously afraid of her ah. Look at that ghost with its belly open, it even dug out its intestines and pasted all over its head, just wanting to hide its face.

"I don't know." Shi Xia shrugged her shoulders, spreading her palms to both sides. "I just panicked and released all my spiritual energy. I didn't even have time to think about which spell to use."

Was it really her aura that directly vaporized a circle of ghosts? But it was reasonable to say that the spiritual energy must be guided by a spell before using. Otherwise, it would simply scatter.

Zhen Bing frowned, he looked a little gloomy and pulled her over, "Xia Xia, let me see your sea of consciousness." He raised his hand and was about to touch Shi Xia's forehead.

Shi Xia was surprised and took a step back reflexively to dodge his hand.

Zhen Bing stiffened for a moment, a hint of hurt flashed across his face, which immediately disappeared again. He eased his tone and requested in a coaxing voice, "I'll just take a look at your Spiritual Roots, I won't do anything suspicious. Really, trust me."

His voice was very low, with a hint of pleading tone. Shi Xia felt her heart aching at his pitiful voice, pulling his hand, she pressed it to her forehead, "Look, look look!"

Zhen Bing closed his eyes and mobilized his Qi. Shi Xia only felt a gentle stream of air entering her forehead, wandering around in the sea of consciousness before retreating.

After he withdrew his hand, Zhen Bing looked at her, his expression becoming more complicated, "Your Spiritual Roots "

"White, very strange, right?" Shi Xia directly confessed. Anyway, Zhen Bing is her spirit animal, she had nothing to hide. The reason she backed up previously was her reflexion. So she calmly explained, "I don't know why my Spiritual Root is white. When I tested before, I had no Spiritual Roots. Then one day, I ate something and it suddenly appeared there."

Zhen Bing frowned deeper and shook his head, "Spiritual Roots of humans are derived from the soul, since the day they are born. I have only heard of washing away one's Spiritual Roots, but never heard of an item that can give a Spiritual Root to someone."

In other words, her Spiritual Roots, and the dragon pearl has no connection?

"Your Spiritual Roots existed in your body originally, but you didn't notice. It may be due to the special physique you have, you need to have spiritual energy to catalyze it out." Zhen Bing said in a deep voice, "I think you must have eaten something before that contains exactly the spiritual energy that your spiritual root needs, which caused your spiritual root to manifest."

Spiritual energy needed to manifest Spiritual Roots?

"Then what kind of spiritual root do I have?" The answer to this question is: What is the answer to this question?

"I'm afraid " Zhen Bing looked her up and down, his face showing a strange expression. It was as if he was unwilling to explain? "Your Spiritual Roots are not among the five elements." Sure enough, just like that person

"What?" Shi Xia froze.

"How is this possible!" Long Aotian was also stunned and immediately asked, "Everything in the world is within the five elements, what else can it be if not the five elements?"

Saying that, he couldn't help but pull Shi Xia's hands, looking her up and down. Seeing that his claws were about to reach out and pinch Shi Xia's face, Zhen Bing's face became cold. Grabbing Long Aotian's claws, he flung it away and pulled Shi Xia toward his side before standing between the two. His expression seemed to say, get away, don't dare to touch my Xia Xia again. I will kill you!

Long Aotian only felt a cold wind coming over, as if the surrounding was covered by a layer of ice. There was no reason for him to be afraid but he still couldn't help but feel the new spirit animal became scarier than before.

"Could it be that I have a dual Spiritual Root?" Shi Xia became a little excited, the teacher of Yuhua Sect taught that the mutated spiritual root was a high level Spiritual Root!

"No!" Zhen Bing shook his head, suddenly as if remembering something, his expression became more and more tangled, "Your Spiritual Root isn't among the five elements of the Spiritual Roots. I have only seen this kind of roots in one person. But you and that person's Spiritual Roots are different. I should say, they are the complete opposite."

"Then what kind of Spiritual Roots exactly do I have?"

Zhen Bing looked down seriously into her eyes and replied, "Light!"

"Huh?"

"Light, or call it Yang, or Ming!" Zhen Bing said in a deep voice, "At the beginning of the time, before the sky opened and the Earth separated from it, the world was only divided into two parts: Yin and Yang. Yin gives birth to the dark and evil, and Yang gives birth to the five elements of all things. The Spiritual Roots of the cultivators are divided into five elements because the human soul is too fragile to accommodate the pure Yang energy of the world. You, on the other hand, can, and have derived a Spiritual Root that corresponds to it. Your Spiritual Root is not among the five elements, yet it contains all the five elements of, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. None of which belongs separately to Yang. This spiritual root itself is the world's purest Yang Qi of all. Everything in the world can be transformed into your spiritual energy, far better than the five elements Spiritual Roots can do."

"Uh " Shi Xia listened to his explanation and became a little dizzy, "can you say it in simpler words?"

"Your Spiritual Root is like a sea, where all the rivers meet. It can accommodate the spiritual energy of all things in the world, but it is also the nemesis of everything dark and evil. So those evil ghosts who ran away saw your pure spiritual energy and were directly purified." Zhen Bing gave her a look of admiration and said word by word, "in simpler terms, you! Have! A! Pure! Yang! Body!"

""

Pure Yang?

Shi Xia listened to Zhen Bing's exclamation and felt as if she could see 10,000 horses running over the word "Yang", destroying it completely

The corners of her mouth began to twitch again.

A moment later.

"Zhen Bing"

"Hmm?"

"I, am, a, girl!"

" oh"

"Oh your sister! Hesitation is your brother-in-law ah!" You explained such a long string of information while forgetting the main point ah!

())

"How in the world can you tell I have pure Yang*' energy. The hell do you mean having a pure yang' body of a woman! I know I'm a pushover but I'm a real girl, okay? I'm a woman! Female! I have breasts, okay? I have breasts!"

[T/N: Yin and Yang is a Chinese philosophical concept that describes opposite but interconnected forces. Yin is a symbol of Earth, femaleness, darkness, passivity and absorption. Yang is conceived as Heaven, maleness, light, activity and penetration. So Shi Xia having a pure Yang' body is, uh. impossible]

Both Zhen Bing and Long Aotian froze for a moment, before their line of sight fell at her chest in unison.

A moment later ..

Long Aotian: "Yes?" Isn't it flat?

Zhen Bing: "Maybe?" Neverpinched it!

"Go away!"

You can humiliate my character, but not my gender!
