Limbs continued to sprout and grow across his body. Lu Cang felt as though another "self" was about to be born from him.
"Ansu!"
Lu Cang shouted into the sea of consciousness!
Almost at the same time, a vast amount of soul poured into Ansu!
Ansu let out a long sigh.
This kid...
He must have figured out how to make use of me a long time ago.
Whoosh—
Deathly energy swirled around Lu Cang.
"Kid."
The whites of Lu Cang's eyes turned black, and his pupils changed from black to red.
"That one isn't something you can deal with."
"Even I can't kill it right now..."
"If you have a way to escape, you should retreat for now."
Ansu's voice rang out in his mind.
Lu Cang finally felt the limbs stop growing from his body. Ansu had temporarily halted Sophia's growth...
"I know."
Tap—
Lu Cang's figure shifted again, and he appeared on an utterly barren planet.
He could no longer see Sophia anywhere.
Ansu said, "What exactly are you thinking?"
Ansu's power gradually faded.
Lu Cang had offered Ansu just the right amount of his soul—not too much, not too little.
For more than a decade, Lu Cang had spent his time with Ansu. Over all those years, he had also learned to make use of Ansu in many ways.
There was no need to offer Ansu his entire soul every time and let it go all out.
If he gave it just a little of his soul at a critical moment,
and only asked it to do something specific,
then everything would become much more manageable.
Ansu wouldn't break free of his control, either.
So far, the only time he had used up his entire soul was to make Ansu face off against the level-nine Izpalut.
