Chapter 66. Possessing a Spiritual CoreĀ
“No.”
After hearing Su Tang’s answer, An Se had reached a certain judgment in his heart. Flowing spiritual power through a Sentinel’s entire body required the support of a Guide’s massive spiritual power source. Su Tang had no discomfort after finishing, which proved the vastness of her spiritual power.
With a rough plan in mind, An Se manipulated his own spiritual power, slowly wrapping it toward Su Tang.
Once Su Tang was completely enveloped, he analyzed the information transmitted back through his spiritual power bit by bit. Unlike other Guides, Su Tang’s spiritual domain was far too vast; for a moment, he couldn’t even determine where her limit lay.
An Se looked up, and a hint of fervor appeared in his gaze as he looked at Su Tang. Mo Xiao had truly brought back a grand treasure for them this time!
“Your spiritual domain is very wide. To measure an accurate numerical value, I may need to let my spiritual power enter your Spiritual Sea. Do you still want to continue the test?”
When a Guide provided counseling to a Sentinel, they needed to enter the Spiritual Sea. For both Guides and Sentinels, the Spiritual Sea was an extremely private existence. Without a Guide’s permission, a Sentinel’s spiritual power could not even enter a Guide’s Spiritual Sea, let alone their body.
Su Tang pursed her lips.
They were about to depart, and she didn’t want to leave any hidden dangers for her future at this time. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded to An Se.
“Release your spiritual power and slowly come into contact with the spiritual power I have wrapped around you.”
The man’s eyes darkened, his deep gaze fixed on Su Tang, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Su Tang did as instructed. Her pale gold spiritual power was released from her sea, spreading out like a thin mist. The two types of spiritual particles slowly came into contact in the air. A warm aura traveled through her spiritual power and into her mind. An Se’s eyelashes trembled violently, and his Adam’s apple rolled uncontrollably.
As soon as the Guide’s pure spiritual power came into contact with his own spiritual threads, a sensation as if the depths of his soul were being cleansed instantly swept through his entire body, bringing a numbing thrill that seeped from his marrow.
The spiritual power enveloping Su Tang uncontrollably drew closer to the warmth she emitted. A sensation of pressure arrived, as if his soul were being held by someone. Su Tang instinctively frowned, and her spiritual threads began to retreat.
“It’s fine… relax… don’t resist me.”
An Se’s voice was a few degrees lower and hoarser than usual, his fingertips quietly gripping the edge of his white coat.
Bracing herself, she forcibly suppressed her spiritual power so it wouldn’t be so unrestrained. Su Tang gradually relaxed, allowing their spiritual powers to begin their contact.
Once the two spiritual powers were completely intertwined, An Se pulled over a nearby chair. Forcing himself to endure the weakness spreading from his legs, he sat down at the very last second so as not to lose face in front of the little Guide.
Taking a deep breath, he guided his spiritual power to probe into Su Tang’s pathways. With every inch deeper he went, that warm feeling entangling his spiritual power became even more profound, tempting him to sink into it instinctively.
An Se felt as if all his years of rationality had been exhausted in this moment. He didn’t know how many times he had to convince himself before he could follow that spiritual thread through layers of temptation to the very core.
“Mm…”
An Se let out a low, muffled groan, and fine beads of sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
The Spiritual Sea was a Guide’s most private spiritual domain. Su Tang’s sea was warm and inclusive. As soon as his spiritual power entered, the surrounding gentle spiritual power instantly surged toward him.
Over and over again, it tirelessly washed over his spiritual threadsāwrapping around them, then letting go; wrapping again, then letting go…
It was like a cat that had caught a mouse, teasing its prey and refusing to give it a quick end, bringing An Se waves of unspeakable pleasure.
Su Tang was also currently not in a good state. Previously, she had been the one entering a Sentinel’s sea to provide counseling and purification; this time, she was the one letting a Sentinel’s spiritual power into her own sea. The sensation of a foreign object invading was not comfortable, but fortunately, the spiritual power entering her was considerate. Aside from the initial headlong rush, it had now become settled.
It even consciously gave back spiritual power to her. The discomfort slowly faded, and Su Tang’s breathing also became a bit ragged.
In her ears, An Se’s suppressed panting was very obvious. Perhaps because their spiritual threads were currently intertwined, she could even feel how stiff An Se’s body currently was. This clear perception made her cheeks burn.
An Se took a deep breath. He could feel his spiritual power greedily absorbing the comfort around it; this place was like a natural bed prepared for Sentinels, and he could not resist it.
An Se bit his lip, his fingertips digging into his palm. The sting allowed him to maintain a sliver of clarity as he meticulously explored the vastness of Su Tang’s sea. Recording the various data in his heart and suppressing the reluctance in his mind, he was about to withdraw his spiritual thread when a stray thread touched something. Then, An Se felt his entire being tremble from the depths of his soul.
He couldn’t help but let out an embarrassing sound, and he felt Su Tang’s Spiritual Sea tremble uneasily.
“Iām sorry… relax first…”
After comforting the little Guide with a hoarse voice, An Se forced himself to muster some spirit and manipulated his spiritual power to probe toward that spot. The further he went, the stronger the tremors in his body became.
Intuiting that there might be something there that he couldn’t imagine, An Se became increasingly excited.
As An Se continued to delve deeper, Su Tang also felt it hard to endure. She gripped the armrest tightly with her palm, simply closing her eyes and forcing herself to concentrate.
An Se probed all the way into the depths and finally saw the true face of that thing. In a pure and flawless area, a golden light cluster the size of a walnut was suspended.
The surface was flowing with patterns like light, continuously emitting spiritual power into the surroundings.
Thisāthis is?
An Se’s pupils shrank violently, and his breathing stopped instantly.
His fingers couldn’t help but tremble slightly, feeling extremely joyous over this discovery.
A spiritual core?
A Guide’s spiritual core?
This also meant that Su Tang actually had the premonitions of a spiritual entity being born. And looking at the density of this spiritual core and the surrounding spiritual power, it seemed its formation time had not been short.
That meant Su Tang’s initial level might not have been the Grade F she was measured as. But the Bai Ta’s testing equipment was the most advanced, and he had personally probed her before.
Could it be that all of Su Tang’s spiritual power had been used to nourish this single spiritual core, and thus the lack of spiritual power during the test caused her to be judged as Grade F?
An Se was excitedly processing his new discovery. In his inattention, he actually allowed his spiritual power to wander around.
“Mm~”
Su Tang couldn’t help but let out a soft moan. Originally, everything had been within a tolerable limit, but something had suddenly gone wrong. Su Tang felt as if her entire body were being licked by someone’s warmest spot; she really couldn’t help but moan out loud.
Translator’s Note: Oh my! The connection between a Guide and a Sentinel is clearly much more intimate than just “talking.” The way An Se is reacting shows just how powerful and unique Su Tang’s spiritual power is. And a “Spiritual Core”? This is a massive revelation! It looks like our “Grade F” Su Tang is far more powerful than anyone could have imagined. I hope you enjoyed this spicy and informative chapter! See you in the next one!
