Gu You endured the discomfort of his soul power draining away, fighting to keep himself from passing out. But in the end, something still went wrong. With only level-thirty soul power, he simply could not maintain the thousand-year Crystal Bear's complete integration into his mindscape. He wanted to take the milk bottle from his Soul Guide Ring, but Gu You had forgotten that he was already "dried up."
Forced out of the Sea of Consciousness, Gu You stumbled forward and fell onto the Crystal Bear's enormous body. The energy he had originally absorbed gradually flowed back into the Crystal Bear, then turned into specks of light and vanished, leaving behind a great deal of soul-raising energy.
"It's over!" Those were the first words that came to the staff outside.
"Should we force him to exit?" one of the staff members asked, looking at Wu Changkong.
Wu Changkong stood there blankly as well. Could someone actually knock himself unconscious just by absorbing energy? This was truly the first time he had seen such a thing. Could it be because of some unusual physique? Helplessly, he nodded.
The thousand-year Crystal Bear's soul-raising energy continuously flowed into Gu You, but it was too slow. Wu Changkong did not want to waste any more time. If Gu You encountered another soul master during the absorption process and was eliminated from the Spirit Ascension Platform, the damage he suffered might be even greater than it was now. There was also the risk of being injured by Soul Beasts. Even if Soul Beasts feared Gu You and did not dare approach him, wasn't this Crystal Bear a special exception? In any case, to be safe and prevent him from suffering a second injury, it was better to withdraw him.
Seeing this, Gu Yue cursed inwardly.
