Chapter 641: Frenzied Absorption
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
"Cheating?"
Zhang Xuan scratched his head.
In a sense, what he did could really be considered as cheating.
While the others were using their physical bodies as a bridge to nourish their soul, he was plunging his soul straight into the Lake Eye and absorbing the spiritual energy directly.
This was just like how a retailer's profit margin would be cut should there be an intermediary between them and the manufacturer.
But to be fair, he didn't make use of any artifact or weapon; it was all done through his own ability. Thus, it couldn't really be called cheating in the strictest sense.
"Indeed, cheating. If that's not the case, how could you absorb spiritual energy so quickly?"
Princess Fei-er widened her eyes.
"This..." Zhang Xuan had no idea how he should reply to that.
The matter regarding soul oracles mustn't be made known or things could prove to become troublesome.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan replied, "If I had cheated, surely you should know how I did it. If even a princess from Hongyuan Empire couldn't find a way to cheat, how could I have possibly done so? If you don't believe me, why don't we swap Lake Eyes?"
"Your Lake Eye is nearly empty already, who would want to switch with you?" Princess Fei-er rolled her eyes.
Dream on! You have nearly finished absorbing your Lake Eye already. If I were to swap with you, what am I supposed to absorb?
"Teacher, I'll swap with you..."
On the other hand, Luo Qiqi offered her own Lake Eye to Zhang Xuan.
She was the strongest among the group who came from the Master Teacher Academy, having reached Cosmos Bridge realm pinnacle.
Given her cultivation, the effects of the Cleansing Lake on her were already terribly limited.
As such, she was willing to trade it for a chance to see how the other party managed to absorb the spiritual energy from the Lake Eye so quickly.
"This..."
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan nodded.
His soul cultivation had only advanced by a small bit before his Lake Eye started to run low on spiritual energy. He couldn't possibly just wait idly for everyone to be done!
Leaving his Lake Eye, Zhang Xuan stepped Luo Qiqi's, and Luo Qiqi stepped into his.
"Alright, you can start cultivating now. If you can cultivate as fast as before, I'll believe that you didn't cheat!"
Princess Fei-er harrumphed.
This time, she stared at Zhang Xuan's Lake Eye without even blinking. She wanted to make sure the other party didn't put anything into the lake to cheat.
"Un!"
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan's body jolted slightly as his soul was drawn out from his physical body.
Even a 6-star soul oracle was unable to see his soul, needless to say, they couldn't see it either.
Hong long long!
As he started to cultivate, the Spirit Cleansing Incense floating on the Lake Eye began burning down swiftly. In less than five minutes, the three incense sticks were on the verge of burning out once more.
