Chapter 138 - 119: Soul Searching Secret Manual, Cheating Level Up Speed!



“???”

Confusion flashed over the man’s face in that instant.

Committing suicide by biting one’s tongue doesn’t lead to immediate death?

Are all the TV shows lying?

Right… I don’t seem to have died instantly…

He spat out his tongue, his mouth corners stained with fresh blood. He wanted to curse at Xu Yang, but his unclear mutterings were all he could manage.

Meanwhile, Xu Yang casually lit a cigarette and explained, “The reason why biting one’s tongue could lead to death is because there is a major blood vessel at the root of everyone’s tongue. If it’s severed, it will cause massive bleeding.”

“If the bleeding is not stopped promptly, death will result from excessive blood loss.”

In any case, this thug’s limbs had been broken and he had lost his ability to resist.

Xu Yang didn’t rush to handle him just yet but rather smiled and continued, “A person only goes into shock when the blood loss reaches about 20% of the body’s total, which is about 1200ml or more. If blood can’t be replenished in time under such conditions, all bodily functions would suffer from insufficient blood supply, leading to death.”

“Your blood vessels aren’t taps; you can’t lose blood so quickly.”

He abruptly grabbed the man’s chin and forced his mouth open. With a pointed finger, a small flame shot from his fingertip into the man’s mouth!

The man felt a sudden scorching heat in his mouth. A faint wisp of smoke accompanied by the smell of roasting meat wafted out. Before he could let out a scream, Xu Yang had already let go of his hand.

Xu Yang had used the ‘Fire Manipulation Skill’ to cauterize the man’s blood vessels, helping him stop the bleeding with the intense heat.

As for any potential side effects of this method, Xu Yang didn’t bother to consider.

To the side.

Hearing Xu Yang’s explanation, Yue Yuluo’s eyes sparkled with admiration, “Wow, my husband, you know so much… you’re so cultured!”

“I’ve just watched some educational videos on some random sites.”

Xu Yang was modest in response.

Soon after, Yue Yuluo seemed confused again, “No… husband, I’ve seen people who commit suicide by biting their tongue and they died rapidly!”

“Oh?”

Xu Yang explained, “They probably swallowed their blood. Large amounts of blood entering the trachea can cause suffocation, and even shock, which can certainly lead to instant death.”

The man lying on the ground made ambiguous sounds, cursing about something. He remained agitated. He still wanted to bite his own tongue, but his teeth couldn’t move. He had already bitten off half and now unable to reach the remaining half.

Xu Yang knocked him out with a slap, then turned to Yun Mengxi, “Mengxi, do you have a way to extract his soul while he’s still alive?”

“No.”

Yun Mengxi replied, “However, before I turned myself into a zombie, I practiced many esoteric arts, among which there was a demonic soul searching technique that can forcibly search others’ memories… but…”

She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Only that this technique is particularly cruel. A person who has been soul searched will either die or become an idiot…”

“No matter, this person is already controlled by that great priest from Xuan Mountain Temple. Even if I don’t kill him, he’s bound to die.”

After all the events of today, Xu Yang had more or less understood the means of that ‘Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple’.

It’s undoubtable that he was indeed a Yin deity, having transformed into an evil god.

These people had been deceived by him, becoming his fervent followers. They sought ‘sacrifices’ and wealth for him to rebuild his golden body… But when he ‘regains his human form’, he would probably kill these so-called ‘devotees’ first, absorbing their souls and flesh to strengthen himself!

This could be inferred from the quick dispersal of the souls of these people upon their death and the rapid decay of their bodies.

Yun Mengxi continued, “But I can no longer use this soul searching technique since I became a zombie. It requires a living being with a soul to practice… Moreover, there is a requirement for the cultivator’s level. One must at least have reached the Entering Dao Realm or be a Grandmaster in the martial arts.” This made sense.

After all, it pertains to soul searching.

A regular martial artist or Daoist practitioner who can’t even emit spiritual power, how could they practice or execute it?

Only martial arts Grandmasters who understood the Unity of Heaven and Man or Daoists in the realm of Daoism who comprehended the laws of nature, could potentially achieve it.

Xu Yang replied without hesitation, “Then you can teach it to me.”

“The Soul Searching Skill is extremely difficult to master.”

Yun Mengxi bitterly smiled and said, “It took me nine years to master it. No matter how talented you are, it is impossible to master it in less than a year and a half.”

However, Xu Yang was full of confidence and signaled Yun Mengxi to go ahead and teach him.

Yun Mengxi immediately began to recite the method of practicing the Soul Searching Skill. Xu Yang carefully memorized it, and by the time Yun Mengxi recited the method for the third time, Xu Yang had already memorized this ‘demonic secret technique’.”

He had already obtained some ‘spiritual power +1’ from the ‘Yin deity’ at Silver City Institute of Technology. Now that he had entered the Daoist realm, his spiritual power had become stronger and his memory naturally increased along with it.

When he learned the method of practicing the ‘Soul Searching Skill’…

“Ding!”

A crisp system notification resonated in his mind.

Xu Yang noticed the words ‘Soul Searching’ slowly appeared after the ‘Martial Arts’ column on his system properties panel.

“So, is Soul Searching also considered a martial art?”

Xu Yang had a thought and looked at the small’+’ sign behind the ‘Soul Searching’.

He touched it with his thoughts.

“Ding!”

“Merit Points -300, Soul Searching +1.”

With the sound of the system notification, Xu Yang was taken aback, his mind immediately filled with a sense of enlightenment, as though he had studied the secret technique Soul Searching for a long time.

He touched the small’+’ sign again with his thoughts.

“Ding!”

“Merit Points -300, Soul Searching +1.”

Xu Yang slowly closed his eyes, and about 10 seconds later, he opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and said, “So that’s how it is…”

He reached out, placing his palm on the unconscious man’s forehead.

He cycled his spiritual power and exerted his spiritual force. His spiritual power, along with the application of the ‘Soul Searching’ skill, forcefully entered the man’s ‘memory’, and saw…

A series of memory fragments flashing like movie scenes.

Xu Yang “saw” that this man was born in a poor family, named Ma Wei. He was originally a student with both good conduct and academic excellence. However, when he went to high school, he became involved with a group of ruffians and rogues. He later went to prison for injuring people in fights, where he met ‘Zhang San’.

After he got out of prison, he followed ‘Zhang San’ to practice martial arts and ventured into the martial world, treasure hunting, tomb raiding, theft, and robbery; he has done all of these.

He has taken three innocent lives.

Until three years ago, they stumbled upon an ‘abandoned temple’. In that ‘abandoned temple’, they ran into a ‘Grand Master’…

“Oh?”

“It seems that my conjecture is indeed correct. That so-called Grand Master from the Xuan Mountain Temple is indeed a Yin deity…”

A gleam flashed in Xu Yang’s eyes.

Xu Yang clenched his hand, ending Ma Wei’s life, and said, “Their leader left Lintong with the other three gang members ten minutes before our arrival. They plan to offer both Shi Shi and Shi Shi’s burial items to the Grand Master of the Xuan Mountain Temple!”

“That Xuan Mountain Temple is the Xuan Mountain Temple that Director Zhu spoke about. It’s located in the Qinling Mountains, about thirty kilometers from Lintong. The road to the mountain is extremely steep and impassable by vehicle. They can’t move fast with Shi Shi’s burial items!”

“Mengxi, Yuluo, let’s go after them!”

A human, a ghost, and a zombie dashed out of the room like a gust of wind.

The hotel staff member left behind was trembling with fear.

He looked down at the two corpses on the ground, then up at the Buddha statue on the coffee table. Suddenly, his fear calm down. He slowly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the statue. A subtle foggy grey light flickered in the depths of his eyes.
