Soul's Trauma

[You ask Feng Yi what a special lifeform is.]

[Feng Yi sends you some information regarding special lifeforms through the Virtual Universe; these are secrets that are usually difficult for you to look up.]

[Unfortunately, there is no information about the Wood Spirit inside.]

[But you know that Xie Huan knows, though you feel the way he looks at you is slightly off, and in this situation, it is not appropriate for you to approach him directly.]

[Afterward.]

[The Ancient Tree World is sealed, and you and your teacher Feng Yi are strictly forbidden from leaking news of the Wood Spirit. Once it is discovered that you leaked it, the Universe Country will hunt you down endlessly.]

[You ask Feng Yi for information on the Wood Spirit.]

[Fortunately, Xie Huan later told Feng Yi the basic information about the Wood Spirit, and as someone in the know, you are allowed to learn it.]

[Feng Yi tells you that the Wood Spirit is a special lifeform with a gene level as high as 60 times the norm, and is a darling of the Wood and Space Laws.]

[You sigh, wishing you could possess it.]

[Feng Yi comforts you, saying that such a special lifeform is not something you or he could ever hope to touch; even the Ganwu Universe Master places great importance on this Wood Spirit.]

[You are deeply disappointed.]

[After leaving the Ancient Tree Secret Realm, you purchase many treasures to assist plant lifeforms in breaking through to Immortal through the dojo treasury. Although this amount of money is negligible, you want to try.]

[However, you forgot.]

[Even though the Spirit Silk Grass you exposed was only the two weakest stalks, cultivating them to that level would cost at least 100,000 Hunyuan Units, even with the utmost frugality.]

[Your teacher will only be happy for you, but how could Xie Huan, who also saw it, think the same?]

[Xie Huan is a Marquis Rank Immortal within the Ganwu Secret Realm and is highly valued by the Ganwu Universe Master; neither his strength nor his status can be compared to your teacher, Feng Yi.]

[At 172 years old, your comprehension of the Wood Law deepens, but you are still unable to comprehend world power to break through to World Lord.]

[You plan to head to the Imperial Capital Planet.]

[Not long after your spaceship flies out of your cultivation location, a terrifying energy destroys the spaceship directly.]

[It was Xie Huan who secretly had another Marquis Rank Immortal—Blood Heart Marquis—attack you. Blood Heart Marquis is a lone Immortal, and his usual conduct is extremely overbearing. Most importantly... he specializes in the soul.]

[Invisible power permeates your soul. Although you activate the Illusion Tower to resist frantically, the gap is too large, and you ultimately fail to send out a single message.]

[You are soul-enslaved.]

[This simulation has ended.]

"Xie Huan!"

Han Han chants in his heart. Both simulations ended at his hands, and if nothing goes wrong, the next one might as well.

The first time was logical; to keep the secret of the Wood Spirit, even the Ganwu Universe Master would tacitly approve of his actions.

But this time.

As the personal disciple of the Ganwu Dojo Immortal Feng Yi, he certainly wouldn't dare to do it himself, but he had the lone Marquis Rank Immortal—Blood Heart Marquis—do it, and he used a method like soul enslavement at that.

"I remember there is a type of auxiliary lifeform that can merge into the soul... I wonder if Locke Divine Water can cultivate it." Han Han thinks to himself.

He has already fallen because of his soul many times.

Although he would likely still die after resisting enslavement, at least he wouldn't die feeling so stifled.

"I'll go check later."

[Evaluation: G-63]

[Although you missed out on the Strongest Tournament, you were lucky enough to be apprenticed to a good teacher, but unfortunately, you brought disaster upon yourself by exposing your secrets to protect your teacher.]

[You may choose three from the following options.]

[One: Domain Lord level 8 realm]

[Two: Massive comprehension of the Wood Law]

[Three: Abundant combat experience]

[Four: Nine Line Flow comprehension, comprehension of the first three blades of the Falling Wood Seven Kill Blade]

[Five: 70 Hunyuan Units of wealth]

[Six: One E5-Grade Battle Suit, weapon, and spaceship each]

[Seven: Massive amounts of treasures from the Ancient Tree Secret Realm]

[Eight: Wood Spirit coordinates]

"What a pity."

Han Han shakes his head.

He had hoped that the options related to the Wood Spirit would be different this time, but they turned out to be the same as the last time: the Wood Spirit's coordinates.

"I guess I only know about the Wood Spirit, but in reality, it has nothing to do with me." Han Han thinks to himself, "I choose two, four, and five."

Combat experience is not a rigid necessity, and he cannot use high-level equipment yet, so he can only look at it.

Furthermore.

70 Hunyuan Units could buy it.

As for the large amount of treasures in the Ancient Tree Secret Realm in option seven, as seen from him selling them in the simulation, their utility to him should be inferior to the Locke Divine Water.

[Reward Distributed]

Han Han's consciousness entered the System Space, and after checking, he couldn't help but let out a breath, "Thank goodness, it didn't give me Cosmic Coins."

He was still thinking about the 70 Hunyuan Units, a full 70 trillion Cosmic Coins; imagine taking that to a bank, it would be strange if people didn't think there was something wrong with you.

He flipped his hand, and a bank card appeared.

This was a bank card from the Universe Galaxy Bank. Han Han didn't know who the holder was, but the system told him in a mysterious way that there would be no problems.

He entered the Virtual Universe to make the transfer, and soon the money was directly deposited into his account.

"Beep!"

The bank system sent a notification.

"Your account balance exceeds 10 Hunyuan Units, and your status has been automatically upgraded to a three-star user. At the same time, you now have the authority to participate in the Ganwu Auction and to sell or consign treasures through bank channels. We wish you eternal life."

"Consignment!"

A thought sprouted in Han Han's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

His Locke Divine Water involved too much.

One had to know that the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom was only overseen by a Marquis Rank powerhouse, while his Locke Divine Water was something even a King Rank would be tempted by.

Regardless of his own experiences or the reactions in the original work, the higher-ups of major powers were not all upright.

If he couldn't control the quantity well, it was better not to sell it at all.

"I should still look for a Soul-type Auxiliary Lifeform, let me check through the Universe Galaxy Bank's treasury first."

Han Han teleported to the headquarters of the Universe Galaxy Bank. Three-star users were generally powerful World Lords, and he was fully qualified to enter.

Walking into the hall, a beautiful Universe Rank woman walked toward him, "Hello, how can I help you?"

"I want to purchase some items," Han Han said.

"Sir, to purchase treasures through our Universe Galaxy Bank channels, you need at least three-star user status," the staff member reminded him with a smile, as Han Han was only Planetary Rank, and he didn't look like a three-star user at all.

"I am well aware of that."

Han Han recited a string of special characters, which were unique to three-star users.

"I apologize, sir. Please follow me."

The staff member's attitude became even more respectful, and she hurriedly led Han Han into an exquisite room.

Han Han was traveling using the special authority of a three-star user, so no one would know he was here; at the very least, no one except the high-level management of the Universe Galaxy Bank branch would know.

"Beep~"

A light screen appeared.

"Sir, this is the treasure list of our Universe Galaxy Bank. According to regulations, there are limits on your purchases of certain treasures. Please understand," the staff member said respectfully.

Han Han nodded.

Three-star users were not exactly rare, but four-star and five-star users were considered truly high-end; he had just barely crossed the threshold.

Following that, Han Han began to search through the light screen.
