Chapter 742: Subjugation
After several repeated experiments, Zhao Hai finally understood that the little figure was actually the source of his spiritual power, the place where his spiritual energy resided. Although he had previously enhanced his strength, he had not sincerely utilized this little figure—his spiritual power. It was only when his spiritual energy fully merged with his body that he could truly say he had improved his strength.
Zhao Hai let out a sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes. The headache he had felt from the attack had completely vanished, and he sensed that his spiritual power was unprecedentedly strong. It was time to deal with that person.
As soon as Laura and the others saw Zhao Hai open his eyes, they immediately surrounded him. Laura, worried, asked, "Brother Hai, are you okay? You absolutely can't be hurt!"
Zhao Hai looked at the concerned expressions of Laura and the others and smiled slightly. "I'm fine. I was just caught off guard by his spiritual attack. I've recovered now, and it's time to take care of him. It's really strange; the magical treasures that person used before were all projections, not actual strength. However, this little tower seems to be a physical entity. That's quite odd."
Laura and the others didn't quite understand Zhao Hai's meaning, but they could see that the person was not simple. Every attack he made was extremely fierce, and Zhao Hai had an endless array of techniques. Additionally, that person had been summoned by the divine race, and the way the divine race treated him was filled with respect, which was enough to indicate his strength.
Moreover, the strength that person had just displayed was indeed shocking, making Laura and the others look at Zhao Hai with some concern. Laura suggested, "Brother Hai, why don't we hide in the space and not go out? Didn't you say earlier that he can't stay here for too long? We can wait for him to leave and then deal with the divine race."
Zhao Hai shook his head. "No, this person must be dealt with. I'm interested in that little tower; it could be very helpful for upgrading undead beings. Don't worry, I'm confident." After saying that, Zhao Hai moved and disappeared from the space, reappearing inside the little tower.
As Zhao Hai vanished from the little tower, the person sensed it and froze for a moment. This little tower was still in the process of being refined; however, its attack power was quite strong. The bell sound was specifically designed to attack the souls of individuals, and Zhao Hai had just accidentally fallen into its trap.
Once covered by the little tower, it would slowly refine the person's flesh and blood, extracting their soul to become energy within the tower. The more flesh and soul it absorbed, the more powerful the tower's attacks would become, but the tower currently lacked one thing: the main soul within it.
The little tower required a main soul to operate properly. Once the main soul was in place, the control over the tower would greatly improve, and using it in the future would be much easier.
The person had not found a suitable soul to act as the main soul for the tower, and this time he had set his sights on Zhao Hai. Although Zhao Hai's level was not very high, his soul power was exceptionally strong, making him an ideal candidate for the tower's main soul.
However, just as he had just taken Zhao Hai into the little tower, Zhao Hai suddenly disappeared from it. The person froze momentarily and summoned the little tower back to his hand. He probed with his divine sense into the tower and found that Zhao Hai was indeed not inside, leaving him puzzled.
It was important to note that this little tower was his most prized magical treasure. It was what allowed him to come to the Ark Continent. Although the Soul Devouring Tower could devour souls and protect them, he had used a trace of divine sense to attach himself to the tower to reach the Ark Continent. Therefore, the other magical treasures he used were mere projections; only this little tower was a tangible entity.
