Thanks to the increased soul power gained from Leo's advancement, his enhanced computing ability, and the simple content of the information, Leo mastered this secret technique almost in the blink of an eye.
At that time, he still had the Nuclear Shadow on him transmitting energy.
And so perfectly, the Nuclear Shadow connects to the Shadow World.
And in that perfectly fitting Shadow World, there was one-tenth of Leo's soul.
Leo didn't know why so many coincidences had come together.
When Leo realized something was wrong, his soul in the Shadow World was completely torn apart...
It was that secret technique, which he had just mastered and was not yet very familiar with, that activated on its own without Leo's mental preparation.
This time, unlike the reflection in the sea of consciousness that devours the soul, the soul still belongs to Leo; it's just in a different location.
But this time was different. This so-called soul-tearing secret technique simply and brutally tore Leo's soul apart.
If this cannot be prevented from happening, it means that Leo will completely lose one-tenth of his soul.
Leo didn't even have time to react before everything happened.
Then, for some unknown reason, a small black charcoal suddenly appeared in the Shadow World and devoured Leo's soul, which had just been torn apart.
The speed was so fast that before Leo could suffer the backlash from the soul tearing, he inexplicably gained a soul partner— Yaoyao.
He didn't know how this soul companion came to be; he only knew that the moment Yaoyao appeared, his soul, which should have been torn apart and dissipated, returned, and the backlash ended before it even began.
Before Leo could react, Yaoyao followed the connection to the Nuclear Shadow, swallowed the Nuclear Shadow whole, and then appeared on Leo's shoulder.
Leo didn't even have a chance to back out. Yao Yao, who seemed harmless and Yaoyao as a mouse, devoured one-tenth of Leo's soul and a shadow as soon as she appeared.
The cost sounds heavy, but it's not actually that heavy.
Yaoyao became Leo's soul partner. Their souls were connected, which meant that Leo did not lose his soul due to the soul tearing. On the contrary, he benefited from the misfortune and regained this part of his soul, thus preserving Leo's soul.
As for the soul acting as a coordinate in the Shadow World, Yaoyao should be a creature of the Shadow World, capable of taking Leo through the Shadow World, making her even more powerful and agile than the previous soul coordinates.
As for eating a Nuclear Shadow, Leo could only say that he had ten such shadows, so losing one wouldn't make a difference.
It's simply that there's one less shadow that can absorb damage.
But as he advanced, the shadow, which could originally only absorb 10,000 points of damage, also advanced.
Although Leo doesn't yet know how much more damage his shadow will absorb after the promotion, it will definitely be enough to offset the loss of one shadow.
Leo thus unwittingly gained the most important companion in a wizard's life—a soulmate.
Their souls are connected and they can sense each other. Yaoyao can access Leo's memories, and Leo can naturally access Yaoyao's as well.
When Leo tried to find out Yaoyao's background, he discovered that Yaoyao's memory was completely blank, containing nothing.
Yaoyao is like a newborn baby, a blank sheet of paper.
Leo didn't even know Yaoyao's abilities; Leo even gave her her name.
Unable to ascertain Yaoyao's abilities, Leo could only leave it for now.
Having just been promoted, everything is incredibly complex. Leo needs to adapt to his new abilities, master his current fighting style, and also forge a wizard's staff and robes befitting his status...
There's so much to do.
"The next expedition is eighty years away; I don't know if there will be enough time."
Rest is out of the question; his schedule is packed with things to do. Leo only wishes he weren't two people!
As for what Li Xi said to Benji about going to Jeft World in a few years, it was because Leo had taken out the Crystal Heart from the Shadow Space out of curiosity.
This is a treasure found in the secret vault of the Dark Night Temple in the Jeft World. It is the heart of Level-Four World Lord created by a low-level life form in an attempt to create a god.
Because ordinary life forms have limited knowledge, they only managed to complete half of this Crystal Heart, making it a world-class unfinished product.
It has the function of absorbing and storing energy internally once every ten breaths. Gru and Alice persuaded Leo to replace his heart with this Crystal Heart, so that it could alleviate Leo's lack of magical power.
However, Leo had many concerns at the time and did not replace it. Furthermore, because Leo's mental strength was insufficient, he was unable to activate the energy inside the Crystal Heart, which resulted in the Crystal Heart becoming a decorative item that could only be looked at but not touched and was kept on a shelf.
Right after Leo Leo's promotion, unable to bear the loneliness in his heart, or rather, unable to suppress his inner thoughts, he took out the Crystal Heart.
As a result, with a mental strength of up to 80 points, the energy in the Crystal Heart was activated and even flowed into Leo's body, instantly replenishing Leo mana.
This is double happiness for Leo today.
Unexpectedly, the good news wasn't over yet; more was to come, and in such large numbers and with such intensity.
Just as Leo was drawing energy from the Crystal Heart, a faint message was transmitted from the Crystal Heart into Leo's mind.
This is not some secret technique passed down, but rather a coordinate system.
Leo could sense the energy that existed alongside the location coordinates. It wasn't the ordinary energy from inside the Crystal Heart; it seemed to be something innate. Moreover, this faint energy was of extremely high quality, something he had only ever felt in the bodies of Stigmata Wizard and World Lord.
After a moment's thought, Leo could roughly guess that this location was the place where the Diana, Goddess of Darkness of Jeft had perished, a place that none of the wizards, including the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, had been able to find.
Everyone searched the entire Jeft World, even looking for any written records, but still couldn't find it.
Most wizards initially believed that the body of the Diana, Goddess of Darkness, had been fused with that of the God of Dark Night, Tang Lifu.
But now it seems there are still many secrets hidden here.
The value of the corpse of a Level-Four World Lord is beyond measure, far exceeding what can be measured in energy crystals.
I'm smitten!
Leo had originally planned to bring Alice along, but considering Alice's relationship with the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, he gave up the idea.
He couldn't measure the bond between Alice and the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard with material things!
Once Alice tells the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard about this, Leo will not only fail to obtain the corpse of a World Lord, but will also offend a Stigmata Wizard.
After all, Leo's actions were essentially poaching someone else's partner; it wouldn't be good to be too obvious, so it was better to do it quietly.
As for the reason for going to a miniature world like Jeft, isn't it best for Benji to go back to visit relatives?
If he could actually find the corpse of a World Lord, Leo had already envisioned what his future staff would look like!
It's definitely the staff that best meets his requirements, and it's currently the most powerful staff that Leo can use up to level four!
" Yaoyao, do you want to go and have some fun, and see the environment of the Wizard World?"
After sorting out what he needed to do in his mind, Leo tilted his head to look at his shoulder. Little Yaoyao was clinging tightly to his clothes, perfectly embodying cowardice.
"No,"
Yaoyao faced with Leo's question, Yao Yao pouted and refused in a childish voice, tears welling up in her big eyes.
If you didn't know what Leo had said before, you'd think Leo was going to sell him out based on his expression.
"Alright then, if you feel any danger or fear later, go back to the Shadow World and stay there for a while until things are better here, then come back."
Leo abandoned the idea of letting Yaoyao leave his shoulder. It wasn't that Leo disliked him; how could a wizard dislike his soulmate?
Instead, Leo wanted to try to hone his Elemental Body Refinement Wizard wizardry and familiarize himself with the changes within his body.
Whether you're Body Refinement Wizard or Elemental Wizard, both are easy to learn. After all, as your basic attributes improve, the amount of computation your brain needs is further freed up, making it easier to control newly acquired abilities.
But the Elemental Body Refinement Wizard is different. First of all, there is very little information about this profession, which means that Leo can only learn by feeling.
Furthermore, the fusion of the two systems will inevitably create many problems. Leo was afraid that the energy he unleashed would frighten Yaoyao, which is why he let him go out and play for a while.
As for whether Yaoyao will be injured by the power she unleashed,
Leo just wanted to say that, based on his current understanding of Yaoyao, even if Leo got hurt, Yaoyao wouldn't.
It seems that Yaoyao is stronger than his, and certainly not weaker!
Leo returned to the fourth floor and looked at the nuclear material collision ring that had accompanied him for over a hundred years. From today onwards, it could retire with honor!
Elemental Body Refinement Wizard needs to perfectly fuse elements and body refinement together.
Elemental Body Refinement Wizard is someone who doesn't possess both systems simultaneously within their body.
There is a fundamental difference between the two: the former consists of two hemp ropes twisted together, while the latter consists of two independent hemp ropes placed together without being connected.
Leo's chosen path of Elemental Body Tempering involves using nuclear radiation to stimulate physical evolution, thereby strengthening the body to control nuclear energy.
Nuclear fission today, nuclear fusion in the future, or perhaps even more distant in the future...
Let's talk about things that are too far in the future.
Leo has already completed the initial advancement of both systems; now, the task is to perfectly integrate the two systems together.
The process isn't difficult; it just takes time for the body to adapt to the sudden change.
