Chapter 196: Fuck, Am I Possessed?
"Ahem, everyone, don't worry. Miss Lyla is alright and she's just sleeping," Li Wei announced as he saw Elva and the others in shock.
He knew the reason, but he didn't want to talk about it, so he turned towards Irene after discovering Li Xin was alright and wasn't feeling jealous or irritated because of what happened now.
"Miss Irene, if you are worried about Miss Lyla, then you can take her to your room. As for raising the spirit attributes, we will do it later," he suggested, watching her worried look.
But to his surprise, Irene shook her head.
"No, we can't do that, or Lyla's effort will go to waste. So, can you put her down and get ready to raise your spirit attributes now?" she replied with a stunned look as she saw Li Wei still stroking Lyla's back.
If he was doing it out of pity or guilt, she would've stopped him. But it didn't seem to be the case here, so she felt a little stunned, knowing that he didn't want to consider anyone else other than Li Xin.
Li Wei knew what she was thinking from her look, but he didn't care and placed Lyla on the side of the bed, a distance away from him, so she wouldn't be disturbed. He also casted an arcane shield on her to block the sound.
He was genuinely worried for her as she ended up exhausted because of him, so he did all he could for her. After all, she was someone who was helping him and was also going to do the same for others.
So, only after making sure she wouldn't be disturbed, he turned towards Irene and others who were stunned at his actions, but he didn't care. Enjoy new tales from m-v l'e|m,p-y r
"Miss Irene, I am ready to raise my spirit attributes, but it won't be something like the soul preservation process, right?" he inquired so he could be prepared for any unusual circumstances and also to warn Irene before she would start.
But hearing this, Irene shook her head.
"No, the process of raising your spirit attributes poses no dangers to me. However, it might be difficult for you, and you will feel tired. But I think it won't be that much because your soul is stronger than a normal person," she explained, looking at him deeply.
She couldn't help but relate him with the hero more and more, but it's just that Li Wei hasn't shown any skills of a hero, so she couldn't accuse him of being one.
'A pity he didn't show any skills. If not, I could've gained an advantage at bullying,' Irene thought, feeling disappointed about this.
However, she didn't care too much and arrived on the bed swiftly, sitting before him with a serious face.
"Li Wei, this process is nowhere as smooth as soul locking, so be careful, especially when you feel your body is full of strength and started to have thoughts about smashing everything."
"These thoughts will only get more violent further and further, so make sure to control yourself. If not, we have to start all over again. Also, if you can't control it, then tell me so I can stop before it might hurt you," Irene stated with a strict look.
Hearing this, Li Wei didn't reject and nodded at her seriously.
"Okay, then let's not waste any time and start," Irene said with a nod and asked him to sit straight before closing her eyes with a serious face.
Li Wei didn't disturb her, and nor did anyone say anything as they continued to observe Irene, who was sitting with closed eyes for more than a minute.
After some more time, she finally opened her beautiful violet eyes and with seriousness she touched his forehead with her two slim fingers.
"Spirit of the world, heed my command and bless this person with your powers!" she commanded softly, making her and Li Wei's body glow.
Li Xin and others were able to see this, so they became a little stunned and waited for the next moment with anticipation. However, nothing happened except both of them glowing a little brighter now.
This made them disappointed, as they were wondering if they could see the spirits now or some different things, but it seems without any gift, it was impossible.
However, this didn't apply to Li Wei now as he just got a gift recently, and when Irene started the process, the Astral Eyes initiated on its own, giving Li Wei a full view of what was happening.
He became a little stunned as he saw the small and large orbs of different colors surrounding Irene's body like a vortex.
The small orbs also let out a strange golden mist that entered Irene's body and was later transferred to him by her, which made him feel shocked.
'She is acting as a medium!' he thought instantly, understanding what she was doing.
He had received the 'Spirit Contract' special ability from the mysterious mannequin and could see the little similarities between how she was acting as a medium for spirits.
It's just that his ability was a lot more powerful and able to let him use the strength of spirits with some restrictions. Nevertheless, he felt shocked by this discovery and decided to assess this world once again taking these gifts and abilities into consideration.
However, his consideration didn't last long as his body started to fill with strength. The process was slow, but the urge to crush and destroy things started to form in his mind.
This thought also gave him chills because he felt calmer than ever, just like how he exceeded the limit that time to save Li Xin and kill the Black Armored Knight.
The feeling wasn't that strong yet, but it was growing stronger by every second, finally arriving at the state that he feared and didn't want to happen.
It was none other than the calmness and the intent to kill that he felt after exceeding the limit. It was something scary to him as he felt that this calmness and intent to kill were just a different version of him, and he can use it whenever he wants.
Moreover, his inner thoughts were already determining when he should let the other version of himself out without even needing him to consider.
'Fuck, am I possessed? Why is my brain even trying to consider this?' Li Wei cursed as he hurriedly calmed himself down, suppressing these thoughts without any effort.
After he was done with this, he decided to check his spirit points. They were 990 at first, but now they were increasing one by one.
The time it took was slow, but it was something to feel happy about as he could get a lot stronger with this. However, nothing was free in the world, and soon he found himself in stress as the intention to kill and smash things increased inside him.
His soul was strong enough to suppress these thoughts; however, it was becoming harder and harder to do this as it took a lot of mental effort to suppress.
These evil thoughts were a lot similar to getting an urge to do something with a sexy girl who is seducing you with her full power, but if you did, you would lose, and if you resisted, she would play more tricks to seduce you.
Li Wei was feeling something like this because his body was filled with strength giving him the illusion of destroying the worlds and killing all the gods in one move.
This made him itch for a fight very badly, while there was also another issue with his other version of himself that was watching him calmly, waiting for its turn with anticipation.
'Why am I feeling like this? Is this really a different version of myself?' Li Wei questioned his sanity with a dumb look.
However, except for having a hard time to suppress it, nothing went wrong, and the process was finally completed after a wait of four hours.
In the meantime, Lyla woke up and arrived beside Li Xin and others with an embarrassed expression while she also apologized to Li Xin about what happened earlier with guilty face.
But Li Xin only said not to worry about this ever, even if it happened in the future.
Hearing this, Lyla was stunned, but she was too embarrassed to ask the reason, and she decided to ignore it. However, certainly, somewhere in her heart, a small hope formed.
But she instantly suppressed the hope, knowing Li Wei was against this, and she didn't want to do something that he wouldn't like.
So, she soon became calm and waited for Irene to complete the process.
Li Xin and others were also waiting for the boring process to finish, of course, not Lily and Alice, who took a small nap lying on the sofa comfortably.
They didn't even wake up when the process was finished, so when Li Wei found them like this, he felt speechless.
Nevertheless, he didn't care and looked at his status panel.
Nothing was new except learning the Soul Preservation skill from Lyla and his spirit attributes getting raised by 1000 points. Which means he currently has a total of 1990 spirit points.
'I never thought it would be this easy to get so much strength,' Li Wei muttered in his mind with a stunned look.
