"Sorry, this method isn't perfected yet."
Zhou Haoyu brushed it off casually. He couldn't possibly split his Spiritual Origin Source to Ding Yuming, could he?
Not to mention whether it was even divisible — even if it was, he was definitely not the self-sacrificing type.
"This…" Dean Fu's face immediately showed disappointment.
"The one who really needs to control her spiritual force… should be her, right?" Zhou Haoyu suddenly pointed at Ding Yuming.
Although the Spiritual Origin Source couldn't be split, he did have a way to resolve Ding Yuming's innate problem.
And in fact, more than one.
Firstly, the Calamity-bearer wasn't a curse, but rather an excessively powerful innate talent that one simply couldn't control in the early stages.
Furthermore, Lingyin Temple had a Psychic Element Forbidden-Curse Mage — as long as a Psychic Forbidden Curse was willing to help, gaining full control was only a matter of time.
Secondly, Zhou Haoyu could forge a Psychic-Type Magic Tool, constantly storing Ding Yuming's mental strength inside.
This had two benefits: first, it would resolve Ding Yuming's innate problem; second, Zhou Haoyu would be able to make that mental strength his own.
However, to forge a Psychic Magic Tool, a suitable material was indispensable.
The simplest and most direct way was to slay a demon that excels at spiritual attacks and use its eyes or another organ rich in spiritual power as the forging base.
"You can actually see her problem?" Dean Fu immediately became guarded.
"It's actually not that difficult to resolve, but I will need some time to prepare the forging materials," Zhou Haoyu said.
If he could collect Ding Yuming's mind power, that would essentially grant him another trump card for survival.
And once he helped Ding Yuming solve her problem, he would also receive a chest reward.
Why not do it?
"Forging materials? You're a Forgemaster?" Dean Fu wore a dubious expression.
He had seen plenty in his lifetime, yet he had never heard of a Magic Tool that could solve Ding Yuming's innate issue.
If there really was one, he would sell everything he had to obtain it.
"Not me — rather, a Senior I know," Zhou Haoyu replied calmly.
Dean Fu hesitated slightly; the young man really had no reason to deceive him — could there truly be some rare Psychic Magic Tool?
"What materials do you need?" Dean Xiao asked.
"Some Sea Monsters skilled at Psychic attacks — their eyes are especially suitable as forging mediums. The higher the level, the better," Zhou Haoyu answered truthfully.
"If we provide the materials, how long will the forging take?" Dean Fu immediately asked.
"At minimum a month or two. And it's best to forge several in one go after all, a vessel will eventually fill up," Zhou Haoyu said.
Dean Xiao and Dean Fu both nodded. That made perfect logical sense.
Once he obtained several Sea Monster materials, Zhou Haoyu immediately returned to the Imperial Capital.
As soon as he got back, he received a message from his teacher.
His feet had barely touched the ground before he hurried to the Magic Court. By the time he arrived, it was already around seven or eight in the evening.
However, that was exactly when Pang Lai was usually free.
"Zhou Haoyu, why are you flying off to Magic City every two or three days? Don't tell me you're secretly keeping a mistress there?" Jiang Yu immediately teased when he saw him.
Zhou Haoyu rolled his eyes. Although this Jiang Yu looked like a stereotypical bookworm, he had actually played everywhere one could go — just slightly less of a womanizer than Zhao Manyan.
"Where's Teacher?" Zhou Haoyu didn't want to continue this topic — otherwise Jiang Yu would absolutely run with it.
"He's inside waiting for you. Something about discussing your contracted beast," Jiang Yu said.
"Contracted beast…"
Zhou Haoyu instantly understood. His Summoning Element had already reached Intermediate Level 2, so indeed it was time to look for a suitable Summoned Beast.
However, Zhou Haoyu currently had no such plans.
Even so, since it was his teacher's instruction, Zhou Haoyu still obediently went to the lounge where Pang Lai was.
"What are your thoughts on a Contracted Beast right now?" Pang Lai went straight to the point.
Pang Lai did not plan on helping Zhou Haoyu find some high-bloodline Contracted Beast, but giving a bit of guidance was still fine.
"Teacher, I currently don't plan to contract a beast yet," Zhou Haoyu said firmly.
Pang Lai's brow furrowed, and his tone clearly became sterner. "That Flame Scorpion Tiger of yours isn't bad bloodline-wise, but Contracted Beasts are the foundation of a Summoner the earlier you cultivate one, the greater the advantage."
"Teacher, with our Zhou family's capabilities, we simply cannot afford a Contracted Beast with a bloodline superior to the Flame Scorpion Tiger. If I waste the contract slot because of that, instead it will become a burden," Zhou Haoyu said seriously.
If someone handed him a high-bloodline Sub-Dragon he would undoubtedly take it, but such a thing simply didn't happen in reality.
Pang Lai sighed. He understood this very well, but he could not bring himself to exploit the Magic Court's resources for his disciple's benefit.
Jiang Yu's Night Rakshasa was also something Jiang Yu had gotten on his own.
After bidding his teacher farewell, Zhou Haoyu returned home to cultivate.
During the time that followed, aside from cultivation, Zhou Haoyu focused on forging Magic Tools capable of holding mental strength.
In a flash, half a year had passed.
"Three Magic Tools; that should be enough."
Zhou Haoyu looked at the newly-crafted necklace Magic Tool in his hand. Inside his Space Ring, there were two more.
With three Magic Tools rotating, there shouldn't be any issues.
Besides these Magic Tools, his cultivation had also skyrocketed: both Summoning Element and Lightning Element had reached Intermediate Level 3, while Space Element was already close to Intermediate Completion.
With a little more time, Zhou Haoyu would be able to attempt breaking into Advanced Level.
However, after reaching Spiritual Force Fifth Realm, the effects of Mind Stones had clearly diminished greatly at most, they could support him until he charged toward the Sixth Realm.
To push into Seventh Realm or higher, he would need to get a larger Mind Stone, or some other Psychic-type treasure.
"As long as I break through Space Element to Advanced Level, I'll finally have a measure of self-preservation."
Thinking this, Zhou Haoyu couldn't help getting excited.
In these past two and a half years, although he had taken on many missions, almost all of them had been within Safe Boundaries.
The wilderness was far more dangerous than inside the Safe Zones — before having sufficient strength, venturing out there carried extremely high risk.
Once Space Element reached Advanced Level and Spiritual Force entered Sixth Realm, the overwhelming majority of Commander-level demons would no longer be his match.
"First, I'll take a trip to the Mu Family, then head to Magic City."
Having made up his mind, Zhou Haoyu left his room and set off for the Mu Family.
Entering the Mu Family villa and exchanging a few casual words with Mu Zhuoyun, Zhou Haoyu then directly went up to the room on the second floor.
Not long after, the room echoed with voices speaking a foreign language, rising and falling, intertwined continuously.
After all this time, Mu Ningxue had already molded into his shape her body carried both an icy-pure elegance and a breathtaking beauty, two completely contradictory auras.
