Just releasing a wisp of soul easily established a contract with the Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower—extremely convenient indeed.
Control was established, but this thing didn’t come with an instruction manual. How should it be used?
Jun Changxiao played with the delicate small tower in his palm, studying it for a while without finding the key. So relying on his brain-supplementing experience, he swung his large hand: “Go, Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower!”
“Plop!”
The tower fell to the ground with no response.
Jun Changxiao: “…”
System: “…”
“Master is so stupid!”
Just then, a light, sweet voice transmitted from inside the Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower. Then wisps of glowing light emerged, transforming into the phantom of a young girl resembling a five or six-year-old child.
The little girl wasn’t tall, with black hair like a waterfall.
Her eyes were large and round, looking extremely adorable.
“You’re the weapon spirit?” Jun Changxiao asked.
“That’s right.”
The young girl smiled: “I’m the weapon spirit inside the Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower. Master can call me Yingying!”
“…”
Jun Changxiao hated whiny people most in his previous life!
Never expected his newly contracted treasure’s weapon spirit would actually be called this name.
What to do?
Should he punch her down?
“Yingying doesn’t sound good. From now on, you’ll be called…” Jun Changxiao considered for a moment: “Er Ya.”
The System broke down: “This name rivals the host’s Gousheng!”
“Okay, Master!” the weapon spirit smiled.
System: “…”
Agreeing so readily to such a tacky name without even considering—is it because she has the same problem as the host, which is why she happily established the contract?
Jun Changxiao asked: “How do I use the Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower?”
“Master.”
Er Ya smiled sweetly: “The Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower has two functions total. Which one do you want to hear?”
“Both.” Jun Changxiao said.
Er Ya sat down, placing her hands on her ankles: “The Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower’s first function can suppress any energy within it, then slowly purify it for the master’s own use.”
“Oh?”
Jun Changxiao asked quite curiously: “Be more specific?”
Er Ya said: “Put it this way—for example, someone else’s spiritual energy normally can’t be absorbed. But if you collect it inside the tower, after suppression and purification processing, Master can directly absorb it.”
“This powerful?”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes widened.
Taking someone else’s attributes to suppress and purify, then appropriating for oneself—wasn’t this somewhat similar to… the Soul Clan’s absorption ability?
“Of course.”
Er Ya said: “The Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower can’t actively absorb—it can only passively collect. This involves the second function.”
“Continue.” Jun Changxiao said.
Er Ya paused: “The second function is to manifest its ultimate form either to smash people or for defensive use. Once entering defensive state, it will automatically absorb energy from attacks within acceptable range into its interior for suppression processing.”
“So the Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower can both attack and defend.”
“That’s right.”
Jun Changxiao was overjoyed: “How do I manifest the ultimate form?”
“You need a chant to activate it.” Er Ya said.
Jun Changxiao asked: “What chant?”
“The chant is…”
Er Ya stood up, placing her hands at her chest in a heart shape, then pushing outward while calling: “Go, my precious darling.”
Jun Changxiao’s facial expression immediately stiffened.
After a moment, he broke down: “This… this is the freaking chant?”
“Yes!” Er Ya smiled.
Jun Changxiao sat down cross-legged, one hand on his chin, thinking: “A bit hard to say out loud.”
System: “…”
This wasn’t ‘a bit’—this was something any remotely normal man couldn’t do!
Jun Changxiao could shout ‘Go, my precious darling’ in front of crowds, but imitating a little girl using hands to make a heart gesture was truly very embarrassing and difficult.
“Just this one chant?”
“Just one.”
“…”
“Master, I’m going back now.”
The moment Er Ya finished speaking, she returned inside the Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower.
Jun Changxiao considered with hands behind his back: “Should I… just try it?”
“Ding! System entering temporary hibernation state.”
Even a grown man making such a shameless gesture—the System couldn’t bear to watch!
“Ahem, ahem ahem…”
Jun Changxiao cleared his throat, waving his hand to knock aside the camera lens constantly aimed at him. Thus the image presented on readers’ screens was the emptiness inside the spatial ring.
“Go!”
“My precious darling!”
The voice transmitted over.
When the camera automatically adjusted its angle and turned back, Jun Changxiao still stood with hands behind his back, an air of martial arts grandmaster.
Several zhang ahead, a tower dozens of zhang tall appeared, faint clouds and mist swirling at its peak, emanating sacred inviolable momentum!
This was the Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower’s ultimate form.
“Very powerful!”
Jun Changxiao said: “As long as I find the right opportunity to viciously strike that Earth-rank expert, I’ll definitely smash him until he can’t take care of himself!”
“Ding! System rebooting.”
“Did you try it?”
“I tried it!”
“…”
The System broke down: “Just how shameless must the host be to do such a humiliating thing!”
Thinking of the gesture Er Ya made earlier, having a man do it gave the System goosebumps all over, even though it had no body.
“Swoosh!”
Jun Changxiao waved his hand. The Tianyuan Soul-Suppressing Tower miniaturized, then landed in his palm as he murmured: “The vacuum cleaner still has attributes sealed inside that were absorbed from Palace Master Xi’s body. Suppressing them in the tower should allow purification, right?”
“Try it!”
He brought out the modified vacuum cleaner. With a thought, it immediately entered the Soul-Suppressing Tower.
This tower had only one level. The internal environment resembled the spatial ring’s ethereal emptiness.
“Master!” Er Ya smiled.
Jun Changxiao asked: “Just release the energy?”
“Mm.”
Er Ya nodded.
Jun Changxiao set down the vacuum cleaner and opened the dust container.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Streams of bizarre attributes flew out like clouds and mist, then tried to break through space. The result was being fiercely bounced back.
“Crack!”
Suddenly, a whip sound transmitted.
Er Ya held a long thin red whip in her hand, saying sinisterly: “Coming here means being my prisoner. Daring to run around requires punishment!”
“Crack crack crack!”
Swinging three consecutive times, striking the bizarre attributes.
Strangely enough.
The energy absorbed from Palace Master Xi’s body had no physical form, yet every time the whip struck it, clear sounds could be heard, as if striking a real person!
What made Jun Changxiao even more astonished was this.
The originally scattered bizarre attributes, after being lashed several times, gradually condensed into human form. Though without eyes, nose or face, it curled up trembling in the corner.
Seems like it was beaten into submission.
“Master.”
Er Ya said proudly: “This is the Soul-Suppressing Whip. Any energy struck by it will be forcibly condensed into human form to endure the pain of lashing until beaten into submission and all harmful energy whipped away, then it can be safely absorbed.”
“Constant whipping?”
“Constant whipping!”
Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.
He finally understood. The so-called suppressing energy in the Soul-Suppressing Tower for purification actually meant whipping!
Too cruel, too inhumane!
“That…”
Jun Changxiao turned around, frightened into retreating two steps!
Er Ya’s hands somehow held two burning red candles. Her small face leaned toward the firelight, smiling sinisterly: “Master, this is my second treasure, the Soul-Suppressing Candle. It can also purify harmful energy!”
Black lines rose on Jun Changxiao’s forehead.
A cute little face suddenly transformed into something demonic. Either holding a whip or holding candles—my weapon spirit seems to have some incredible hidden attributes!
“Clank! Clank! Clank!”
The bizarre attributes curled in the corner were fitted with handcuffs and shackles.
Er Ya clapped her hands, smiling harmlessly: “Master, leave this guy to me. About one or two months should completely purify it.”
