After Su Yaoyun helped Luo Yu stabilize the problems within his body and withdrew her spiritual power, she looked toward him—and instantly fell into shock. At this moment, Luo Yu had yet to put on his clothes after the battle.
She saw the man sitting with his eyes closed, regulating his breathing. Under the starlight-like shimmer, his figure began to turn illusory—not invisible, as his outline was still visible, but his body was continuously becoming faint and transparent.
After a while, Luo Yu slowly opened his eyes and met Su Yaoyun's astonished gaze.
"Y-you… what's happening to you?" Su Yaoyun said, covering her red lips.
The instant Luo Yu lowered his head, he also saw his own semi-transparent body. His heart seemed to skip a beat.
Am I turning into a ghost???
The next second, he sensed that an inexplicable, mysterious power had appeared within his body out of nowhere.
When he tried to activate it, his body began shifting from its illusory state back toward solidity, gradually returning to normal.
"What's going on?" Su Yaoyun asked anxiously.
Luo Yu closed his eyes and felt it again, then once more activated that mysterious power. His body began turning illusory again.
After repeating this several times, under Su Yaoyun's stunned gaze, Luo Yu's body shifted back and forth between solid and illusory states. That mysterious power also seemed to become restricted, unable to be used again immediately.
"I get it," Luo Yu said.
"Hm?" Su Yaoyun waited for an explanation.
"The truly precious aspect of the Illusory Spirit Wine isn't the vast amount of energy it contains, but this power that alters one's physique."
"How so?"
Luo Yu pondered and replied, "After consuming it, I gained the ability to temporarily transform into a Void Spirit Body. I have a feeling that in this state, I can ignore most external attacks."
"Immune to attacks?" Even with Su Yaoyun's experience, she couldn't help but exclaim.
Luo Yu's face was filled with delight as he guessed, "You could treat it like a soul skill. It can be used multiple times in a single day. Each time, my body transforms into a Void Spirit Body, granting immunity to most attacks."
"As for whether it has other effects, we'll have to study it slowly in the future."
Su Yaoyun exclaimed, "If you can really be immune to attacks, wouldn't you be invincible from now on?"
Luo Yu rolled his eyes. "There's no such absurdly overpowered skill in this world."
"I can sense that attacks from opponents at roughly my level can be completely negated in the Void Spirit Body state. But if the attack exceeds a certain threshold, it probably won't be full immunity—at best, it'll only weaken the damage by a few degrees."
Su Yaoyun sighed. "That's already incredibly strong. And you're still not satisfied? With this ability, who at the same level could possibly be your match?"
"Cough." Luo Yu spread his hands. "Seems like I already didn't have any rivals at the same level to begin with."
"You already have twin martial souls—your strength is freakishly strong," Su Yaoyun said, shooting him an envious glance. "Now that you've gained this ability, it's like adding wings to a tiger. Who could possibly stand against you?"
"At least I've become harder to beat," Luo Yu said, clenching his fists.
After a few seconds of silence, Su Yaoyun grabbed a pillow and tossed it at Luo Yu, her face red. "Aren't you going to put some clothes on already? How embarrassing!"
Luo Yu looked puzzled. "I've been standing here for quite a while now. Your reaction speed is… surprisingly fast."
"Hurry up and get dressed!" Su Yaoyun urged.
"Alright, alright."
Luo Yu lazily shifted his body, preparing to put on his pants.
"???"
Seeing the man suddenly freeze with an odd expression, Su Yaoyun asked, "What's wrong?"
Though Luo Yu wasn't doing anything outwardly, his face showed clear strain. A shocked voice came out:"Why can't my legs move all of a sudden?"
"You can't move your legs?" Su Yaoyun quickly reached over to check.
Luo Yu could feel that his legs weren't numb at all—he still had full sensation. But when he tried to control them with his consciousness, it felt as though they weighed a thousand jin, as heavy as if they'd been filled with molten lead.
"What's going on?!"
Pfft.
Su Yaoyun suddenly laughed.
Luo Yu turned his head. "You know what's going on?"
Clearly understanding the situation, Su Yaoyun's worried expression vanished. She smiled but said nothing.
Seeing her expression, Luo Yu's tension eased a bit.
"Hey, Su Demoness, your man is crippled now. Your future happiness is gone. And you can still laugh??"
"Relax, it's fine. Not a big issue."
"How so?"
Su Yaoyun gestured toward his legs. "Carefully sense what's going on down there."
Luo Yu closed his eyes and sank his awareness inward. He immediately discovered the issue, then opened his eyes and asked, "Are those two things inside my legs… energy stones?"
Su Yaoyun said speechlessly, "What energy stones? The energy in your body was far too abundant earlier. If we'd left it alone, it would've eventually blown you apart. So I compressed it all together."
"So what's my current situation?" Luo Yu asked, still confused, half understanding and half lost.
Su Yaoyun patiently explained, "This isn't a bad thing—on the contrary, it's a great opportunity to rapidly increase your strength."
"You no longer need to painstakingly draw in free spiritual energy from the outside to raise your soul power. You just need to consciously absorb those two solidified energy masses."
Luo Yu's face first lit up with joy, then he realized a very serious problem.
"Does that mean… until I completely absorb those two energy masses, I won't be able to move my legs???"
"That should be the case," Su Yaoyun said awkwardly. "Honestly, I didn't expect the location of the solidified energy to affect your limbs' movement."
Luo Yu tried lifting his legs again—and completely despaired.
Noticing his expression, Su Yaoyun comforted him. "Actually, this is a good thing."
"With those two things, your cultivation speed will increase by at least tenfold. And once you finish absorbing them, won't you be able to walk freely again? By then, your strength will have skyrocketed."
Luo Yu had essentially given up resisting reality, resigned to this cruel twist of fate, and made one last attempt."How long do you think it'll take me to absorb them?"
After thinking for a moment, Su Yaoyun replied, "If you cultivate diligently, maybe three to four years at the shortest. If you cultivate less, it could take seven or eight years."
Looking at his legs that felt as heavy as mountains, Luo Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had unintentionally increased his cultivation speed—at the cost of short-term mobility.
"Alright. From now on, if you want to go anywhere, I'll just carry you," Su Yaoyun said.
Luo Yu stared at her and twitched the corner of his mouth. "Why do I feel like you're not sad at all… and actually a little happy?"
Su Yaoyun replied, "That way, you can stay by my side every day. And I'll even have a perfectly legitimate reason to be with you at school—especially when I carry you in public. No one could say a thing."
"After all, right now you—"
"Heh, women," Luo Yu sneered, giving her a merciless eye-roll.
"Get dressed and take me to the blacksmith's shop."
"What for?"
"I'm going to make something."
"Oh."
Su Yaoyun pulled up the bed curtain and began changing clothes. Her curvy waist flickered in and out of view, stirring Luo Yu's blood—though his will was willing, his body was not.
"Su Demoness."
A voice came from behind the curtain.
"Hm?"
"You didn't do this on purpose to mess with me, did you?"
"How could I joke about something like this?"
Su Yaoyun emerged in a tight-fitting silk dress. Her sexy figure was conservatively wrapped inside, as if she'd carefully chosen it to avoid dressing too provocatively and making the man jealous.
"You still haven't put your pants on? Let me help you," Su Yaoyun said, her beautiful eyes shimmering.
"Heh, I'll do it myself!" Luo Yu pushed her hand away, preserving the last shred of his dignity.
