Chapter 813

Arena notice:

"This is a Boss Challenge scenario. After entering a near-death state, contestants may choose to release their 'souls.' If they do, a spirit healer will guide their souls to the Main Base, while their 'bodies' become indestructible."

"While in soul form, you may return to within 25 meters of your body and revive with 50% Life Value and mental energy. You may also revive directly before the spirit healer at the Main Base, but you will suffer a weakened state for ten minutes, reducing all attributes by 50%."

Wasn't that just corpse running and resurrection sickness from World of Warcraft? Bai Xiaowen found it amusing.

In Boss Challenge Mode, resurrection rules varied with the scenario. This one was clearly set against a war between humans and trolls from World of Warcraft, so its resurrection rules matched the game's.

Running back to one's body was troublesome, but it didn't reduce any attributes, making it the most sensible option. Reviving at the spirit healer looked convenient, but being helplessly weakened for ten minutes made it easy to be killed again. It wasn't worth it.

Bai Xiaowen suddenly remembered something and spoke to Delifa inside the Black Soul Stone:

"Oh, right. If I kill any Awakeners from the Jingwu Team later, don't try to absorb their souls."

"Yes, Master."

Bai Xiaowen suspected that releasing one's soul upon death might be purely symbolic, rather than actual Soul Projection. The Black Soul Stone's soul-absorbing ability might not work at all.

Even if their souls really did leave their bodies, they would be protected by the rules of the Psionic Training Ground—specifically, by the spirit healer guiding them away. That protection had a priority as high as level ten. Powerful as the Black Soul Stone's soul-absorbing ability was, it probably couldn't override
