Su Xiao had no time to worry about how severe the psychological trauma from the Soul Bell Tower was. He was currently in a valley. A waterfall crashed into a pool, roaring loudly as mist spread through the air.
Su Xiao sat cross-legged on an oval strange stone. Thick blood energy rose from his body. Blood vessels gradually surfaced in his eyes. As time passed, they connected into a solid mass, causing bloody light to shine from his pupils, while the depths of his eyes began turning pitch-black.
A surging desire to kill welled up in his heart. In theory, he should now have been controlled by the slaughtering blood energy. If he could awaken after some time, it would mean his talent transformation had succeeded. But if he remained controlled by his killing instinct, he would become completely lost, and his consciousness would eventually perish, leaving behind only a powerful shell.
In reality, Su Xiao's eyes were pitch-black and bloody light shone from his pupils, yet his expression remained calm. The swordsman grandmaster's immunity to "mental- and soul-based control" was showing its effects at this moment. This also made him even more determined to create an "Absolute Will" ability whose defining trait was "an absolutely unshakable will."
Abilities of this kind usually felt unremarkable, but every time they took effect, it was at a crucial moment—especially when one's life was on the line.
Two hours later, the darkness in the depths of Su Xiao's eyes receded, and the bloody light in his pupils dimmed until it vanished completely.
