Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1326

Chapter 1326 Continue Training

Wang Wei opened his eyes and wiped the blood from his nose. 'Is this what it feels like to experience social death?' He wanted nothing more than to crawl into a wall and hide, which says a lot, given his thick skin. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it. He failed the illusion again.

All his life, he had never feared any mental or illusion attacks — no matter how intricate they were. However, today, he had the biggest wake-up call of his life. Wu Hong played with his mind like a toddler facing an adult. His so-called Paragon Soul or terrifying Willpower means nothing to someone so adept at wielding the mind and knew to consider his willpower when manipulating him.

"Don't beat yourself," Wu Hong said. "Now that you know your weakness, you can compensate for it. Plus, you've been improving at an alarming rate." She was worried that Wang Wei had already formed certain habits so that it would be difficult for him to adapt and learn new ways to fight with the soul. However, it seems she worried for nothing. His mind was as flexible as young people's, allowing him to change and evolve to improve.

"Let's continue," Wang Wei said. This training not only allowed him to train his Soul Battle Technique, but it was also an excellent way of cultivating his Soul Sub-Dao.

"Since you've made such rapid improvement, let's increase the difficulty," Wu Hong suggested. "Think of a number between 10,000 to 1 million. Try to prevent me from getting into your thoughts while resisting the illusion."

"Good."

The two started to fight physically while secretly battling mentally. Wang Wei applied everything he learned so far, pushing his spirit particles to the limit. Wu Hong showed him her soul, which was also unique as its main composition was 129,600 unique runes. Wang Wei learned from her and created a Soul Defense Technique that combined his 1.269 trillion spirit particles into a group of 129,600 — imitating her ability.

As they were fighting, Wang Wei watched as Wu Hong slapped him with a Seal of Death in her palms and prepared to react. However, his spirit particles released a golden light, allowing him to break from the illusion. This attack was not a Seal of Death but a Yin-Yang Seal.

He countered it before continuing the fight. His concentration reached another level as he adapted to his situation. Then, Wu Hong suddenly stopped.

"22,345," she said, making Wang Wei sighed. "And you still fail for the illusion." She waved her hand, and the surroundings changed. The real Wu Hong was sitting cross-legged in the distance with a cup of tea in her hands while the one before Wang Wei slowly dissipated.

Wang Wei sighed: "Why do I need Heaven and Earth to humble me when I have you around?"

"Don't be discouraged since you're not as bad as you think; I just have high standards."

"No need to take my pride into consideration. I needed this wake-up call." Wang Wei knew his future wife's standards were the pinnacle of the Chaos Universe, and even without her, he would also put these standards as his own. After all, how can he stand at the pinnacle of the world without being the best in everything?

"I'm curious, though," Wang Wei continued. "Your understanding of the soul isn't just based on experience. It's as if you've understood the essence of the mind. Did you spend a lot of time studying Mind Rune or something?"

"Something like that," Wu Hong responded. "One of my worst experiences after becoming a Paragon was that the Mind Hunters hunted me."

"Mind Hunters?"

"Do you know the status of the mind in the Chaos Universe?"

"It's a protected area," Wang Wei nodded. Fate is absolute, but the concept of choice and freedom still exists in the world, competing with it in many aspects. How is that possible? It's because of the mind. Grand Dao binds all sentient beings and cages them under the power of Fate, but it also leaves a door open for people to escape, and that door is the mind.

A perfect example of this is Wang Wei's Supreme Outlaw Trial. If Heavenly Dao had been allowed to read his mind during the trial, the difficulty would have gone beyond nightmare-level.
