Against Heaven's Will-Chapter 285: Soul Attacks Defense

"I'm sorry but this spear has been with me for thousands of years. Even if it lets you hold it, nothing will make it change its owne— Ah!" 

Jiao denied as she tried to grab the Golden Spear out of Liu Mei's hands only to be zapped. She looked at the spear in shock and reached out again but the results were the same. 

She got rejected!

"Could it be because Miss is in Jiao's body?" Liu Mei guessed as she observed the spear. "Maybe it doesn't recognize you." 

"Maybe…" Jiao muttered as she squinted her eyes at Liu Mei. "But then why did it let you hold it?"

Liu Mei smiled awkwardly but she didn't feel like giving the spear back. "I think it's because thousands of years had passed. Maybe the Spirit inside the spear wants to feel alive and be used again. Sitting in one spot for so many years shouldn't be pleasing." 

She then hugged the golden spear and suggested, "How about I keep it for the time being and give it back once Miss regains your body?"

"There is no other choice…" Jiao muttered while regaining her calmness. "But you have to acknowledge me as your Master and listen to me. I still have some matters to handle so you will follow me while I teach you." 

How could Liu Mei reject such a proposal?

"Master! Please teach me!" Liu Mei called out happily, causing Jiao to nod in approval. 

"Good. I don't care about hunting everyone down so let's just loot their treasury and then move." 

———

If Xuefeng knew about Liu Mei's improvements, he would definitely be proud but can she catch up in time before Xuefeng ascends to the God Realm?

"How is it?" Xuefeng asked as he watched Wuying finish her testing. 

After setting a large zone in the area that sped up time for them, everyone in Xuefeng's group left to handle their matters. Yiren and the girls roamed in search of herbs, the three devils threw themself into a whirlpool of battle while the beasts began their transformation. 

It only left Wuying, Nuwa, and Thunder Goddess who stayed by his side. 

"I feel like my body is exploding with life. This Bloodline is still reforming my body with each minute," Wuying replied while stretching her body over him. "It's also making me tingly whenever I touch you… I want to suck everything from you but I know that would probably kill you." 

She reached down towards his crotch and caressed him with a naughty smile, "Thankfully there is still something that I can suck freely, hehe." 

"Is that so?" Xuefeng asked back as he kissed her. "That's a good idea but maybe later. We have a lot of time so I just thought of spending it with you all." 

Oh?

Both Wuying and Nuwa looked at him confused but he only grasped Nuwa's waist and pulled her closer as well. "I feel like all the free time we had we spent it in bed. I don't mind it but I just want to be around you more."

"Aww, but you are always with us." Wuying pointed out while snuggling to him cutely. "That's all we need from you. If we want more affection, we will just take it." 

"Well, I still think I have been inconsiderate of you all lately so I just want to spoil you more," Xuefeng explained with a kiss on their heads. "You know I would never leave or forget you but I also want to show it more."

"How about we train together then? I'm still yet to test this bloodline of mine," Wuying suggested. "Not only can I feel my body strengthening but my Soul is also benefiting from it. I feel like I am going to break through to the Ancient Soul any moment."

It wasn't hard to notice the changes in Wuying's body as her muscles were actively moving around and rebuilding. She was muscular due to her training but her muscles suddenly became more tender and soft to the touch. Each caress on her back was enough to give him shivers. 

"Seeing you improve like this, I feel like getting another Bloodline as well," Xuefeng muttered impressed before glancing at Thunder Goddess who was observing their interaction with interest. "Do you maybe know the Bloodline Ability of your master?"

"She is a Succubus so everything that's meant to seduce and restrict. She can also bend reality by creating a dreamlike space around you. It will look real but it's just an illusion," Thunder Goddess replied calmly. "Because of that, no one really wishes to challenge her. You only need to look into her eyes to fall into her illusion." 

"No wonder Emi was so confident while taking Wu away," Nuwa commented while giving Wuying a teasing glance. "You should train and then we can spar to improve our Abilities."

"That's a great idea. I wonder if you can break out of my illusion," Wuying muttered in wonder. 

"You can try it on me," Xuefeng suggested as he looked her in the eyes. "I also wish to learn how to defend against Soul Attacks." 

It felt quite surreal that even after gathering all Elemental Stones, which would give him control over all Elements, he couldn't fight against a simple Soul Attack. 

"It's actually easy but most Cultivators at the lower level forget to protect their Souls from intrusion," Nuwa explained as she embraced him from behind. "Your Soul should be guarded at all times or else we can kill you in a second." 

She glanced at Thunder Goddess and added, "She knows how to do it since I can't simply drag her Soul our to my Soul Realm. I would have to first weaken her and wait for her to lose focus." 

"Oh! How do I do it?" Xuefeng questioned curiously. 'Girls, you can stop protecting me for a moment.' 

He could also ask Ming or Ling to do it for him but he preferred to learn the basics on his own too. He was met with situations where they weren't around so he needed to know how to protect himself. 

"Let me sink part of my soul into yours so I can teach you two," Nuwa suggested but she didn't wait for approval as her Soul invaded his body. It tinged his own but he didn't feel pain as it simply attached itself to him. 

"Now, Wuying, try using your Bloodline Illusion on him." 

Even though Wuying's first time, Xuefeng suddenly felt weird as if something entered inside of him. Before he knew it, Thunder Goddess disappeared from his view and his surroundings changed. They were no longer in the air but instead back in his hometown in Aurora City where he spent his childhood. 

"This…" Xuefeng was left speechless when he realized his arms were tied to the bed and Wuying was sitting on top of him. "How do I even defend against this?" 

"Wow, it is much easier than I thought," Wuying muttered as she looked down at him and smiled. "Does that mean I can have you for myself whenever I want?" 

She tapped on his chest and his clothes vanished, leaving him only with his boxers that Wuying sat on. Nuwa appeared next to them soon after and laid down beside him. 

"Nice, you got it in the first try," Nuwa praised. "I guess I should rather focus on teaching our baby." 

She caressed his chest and whispered, "Now let's teach you how to break an illusion under stressful conditions, shall we?"
