Berserk God of War

Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109: They All Have Spiritual Shadows

If one cultivates similar things, Sikong Jing’s situation would arise.

That is to say, some kind of spiritual shadow feels very close to him.

For instance, some people’s masters or elders like parents, before dying, would imprint their spiritual shadows into their successor’s Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness, aiding their cultivation and absorption.

Although spiritual shadows appear humanoid, they are neither human nor souls; they are merely a form of power.

In essence, they are the same as True Qi!

Zhang Duiyin opened her mouth wide, then said somewhat embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, Junior Brother Sikong, I acted impulsively just now.”

She not only sneaked into someone else’s room quietly but also interrupted Sikong Jing’s cultivation and even entered his Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness.

To this, Sikong Jing smiled and replied, “It’s alright, Senior Sister Zhang meant well.”

He didn’t mind at all; he even felt pretty good about it. At least, at that moment, the Zhang siblings, Weng Ting, and Hua Meixi all acted to save him, with good intentions.

However, just as the misunderstanding was cleared up, a faint voice suddenly sounded, “Junior Brother Sikong, you have actually condensed a spiritual shadow.”

The voice came from Weng Ting!

Once these words were said, the entire room fell into an eerie silence again. The Zhang siblings and Hua Meixi all looked up, staring straight at Sikong Jing, their eyes reflecting immense shock.

Sikong Jing was only at the Reverse Soul Realm, yet generally, only when one reaches the Spirit Martial Stage can they condense a spiritual shadow.

In other words, Sikong Jing had already condensed one at the Reverse Soul Realm, which was truly incredible.

Just seeing his spiritual shadow within Sikong Jing’s Spirit Platform was enough to leave everyone stunned.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing also froze, then his mouth twitched slightly as he said, “Yes, I just condensed it not long ago.”

This was indeed the truth; only after arriving in Hanluan City did he achieve Spirit and Martial Fusion, which was actually quite recent.

However, Spirit and Martial Fusion was meant to be Sikong Jing’s secret and trump card; unexpectedly, it was exposed under such circumstances.

Following Sikong Jing’s words, the room remained eerily silent.

Now everyone knew why Duanmu Chun valued Sikong Jing so much, and Weng Ting understood why Duanmu Chun had been strongly recommending Sikong Jing to her.

It wasn’t about defeating Wan Tonghui with an Emperor’s Artifact or anything like that; Spirit and Martial Fusion was the reason.

And then, Sikong Jing suddenly looked at Hua Meixi, saying slowly, “Captain Hua, have you also condensed a spiritual shadow?”

As soon as he spoke, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

The gazes of the three Spirit Martial Stage geniuses turned back to Hua Meixi.

They remembered that Hua Meixi’s spiritual shadow had also appeared within Sikong Jing’s Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness just now…

But Hua Meixi’s realm was only at the Martial Battle Realm below the Spirit Martial stage.

Hua Meixi slightly opened her mouth, then nodded and replied, “Yes, I just condensed it a few days ago.”

Once more, the room became extraordinarily silent.

The corners of the Zhang siblings’ and Weng Ting’s mouths twitched uncontrollably.

One Sikong Jing was already shocking enough for them, but now there’s also Hua Meixi.

Although Hua Meixi was Peak of Martial Combat rather than as formidable as Sikong Jing, condensing a spiritual shadow signifies… Spirit and Martial Fusion.

Condensing a spiritual shadow before the Spirit Martial Stage also signifies they would enter the Spirit Martial stage without hindrance and be incredibly talented.

Everyone who achieves Spirit and Martial Fusion beforehand will have a bright future; they will possess unparalleled strength in the Spirit Martial Stage, with their Spirit and Martial Fusion being more thorough than ordinary people…

Why is the Spirit Martial Stage considered a major barrier for martial artists?

Why, even with a mighty War Body, some might still get stuck at the Peak State of Martial Battle Stage?

Because the hardest part is condensing the spiritual shadow and achieving Spirit and Martial Fusion; that’s where many get stuck.

Both the Zhang siblings and Weng Ting reached it after years of accumulation, and in age, they are several years senior to Sikong Jing and Hua Meixi.

Which means Sikong Jing and Hua Meixi have several more years compared to them to break through to the Emperor Martial Stage.

And in pursuing the five great realms within the Spirit Martial Stage, being younger is naturally better.

“Ahh, comparing people is infuriating; I’m just seeking discomfort here, darn it!”

Finally, at this point, Zhang Duiyin let out a series of chaotic sounds, then solemnly said, “Junior Brother Sikong, I’ve been severely struck, and I need to comfort myself with a big meal; don’t be disturbed.”

With that, Zhang Duiyin turned around and walked out.

Following her, Zhang Duiyi smiled bitterly and clasped his fists toward Sikong Jing, then also left.

The siblings’ attitudes toward Sikong Jing had completely changed.

Previously, they, like Weng Ting, treated Sikong Jing as a little junior regardless of his performance; Zhang Duiyin wanted to tease Sikong Jing because he was just a ‘junior,’ teasing him just for fun.

But now it had become one of equality and respect.

Watching the siblings walk away, Weng Ting said deeply, “Junior Brother Sikong, if there is time, let’s spar once more; I really want to understand your true combat power at present…”

After Sikong Jing nodded in agreement, Weng Ting also left.

In an instant, the room was left with only Hua Meixi and Sikong Jing, and after a moment of silence, Sikong Jing broke the awkwardness by saying, “I didn’t expect Captain Hua would also condense a spiritual shadow, even more unexpected was exposing it at the same time as me.”

This indeed was unexpected by Sikong Jing, but not surprising… Hua Meixi has the Evil Charm Holy Body, after all.

Upon his words, the atmosphere in the room remained somewhat awkward.

Because Hua Meixi still did not respond, until Sikong Jing showed confusion in his eyes did she softly say, “Sikong Jing, thank you for saving me and my mother, thank you very much.”

Hua Meixi did not discuss the spiritual shadow but finally overcame the internal conflict to express her sincere gratitude.

After speaking, she bowed deeply to Sikong Jing.

Sikong Jing briefly paused before replying, “No need to thank me, Aunt Jiang was in danger; it was my duty.”

To this, Hua Meixi naturally believed it was because her mother had helped Yang Yi and others, hence Sikong Jing said so… She had no idea that mother called Sikong Jing ‘Young Master Sikong.’

Thus, she raised her head, shifted the topic, and asked, “Uncle Yao said you could solve the strange issues on me?”

This was Hua Meixi’s primary concern in attending the Soul Snatching Battle and now finally had a chance to ask.

Sikong Jing nodded, then shook his head, saying, “Currently, I’m not sure, but I can first take a look at your situation.”

At this moment, Hua Meixi’s problem was no longer about the Evil Charm Holy Body erupting; the Evil Charm had been suppressed by the Black Prison Devouring Sky Tiger’s blood and Jade Pendant Formation, currently managing her War Body’s uncontrollable upgrading.

Therefore, Sikong Jing couldn’t confidently say that he could achieve it.

So he took two steps forward, saying to Hua Meixi, “You sit down first, and take off the veil.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Meixi hesitated slightly before sitting down, gently pulled down her veil, and raised her head to look at Sikong Jing.

At present, Sikong Jing was looking down at Hua Meixi.

He stared at Hua Meixi’s face, which unknowingly had become stunning, though its appearance differed little from before, somehow possessing an exceedingly enchanting aura.

It was as if the gaze of all men was forcibly drawn in, leaving them entranced.
