Strongest Scammer: Scamming The World, One Death At A Time-Chapter 142: Gathering The Eight Emotions Energy (castle bonus)

Han Yu sat in the quiet forest clearing, the moonlight filtering softly through the leaves above him. He had taken his time to leave the Outer Court as he was still under monitoring. But the Shadow Melding Robes had come in handy and he managed to leave easily.

Before he had left the sect to start his act, he had hidden these so that he could use them again. They were far too valuable after all, and so far, it didn’t seem like anyone had noticed their disappearance.

As he sat, the stillness around him was soothing, but his mind was anything but calm.

He needed to refine his cultivation, to gather the Soul Qi required to truly master the Undying Destiny Severance technique. But it wasn’t enough to simply focus on the method; he had to harness the Eight Emotions Energy—those strange wisps of power tied to emotions, like the one that had come to him before.

He closed his eyes and breathed deeply, centering himself. The memories of the pain, the struggle for survival, and the loss he had experienced rushed back to him. The ache in his heart flared briefly, and the darkness of sorrow began to seep into his thoughts.

As his emotions swirled, something strange happened. A wisp of dark blue energy appeared before him, swirling gently in the air. The moment Han Yu saw it, his body reacted instinctively, reaching out for it. The wisp entered his body with ease, and he felt a wave of sadness wash over him, filling his heart with a fleeting, but intense emotion.

His thoughts grew hazy for a moment as the wisp drifted within him, but he focused quickly, following the refining method he had learned. The dark blue wisp reduced to a tiny dot, transforming into pure Soul Qi, settling deep within his soul. It was a familiar sensation—the power surging through his body, but it was far from enough. He needed more.

And then, almost as if in response to his will, more wisps appeared before him. This time, they were different.

A series of grey wisps swirled into existence, their color a dull, almost lifeless shade. They were tinged with an emotion that Han Yu instantly recognized—surprise. As the grey wisps entered his body, he felt an unexpected jolt of shock, as if his very soul had been taken aback. The energy from these wisps wasn’t as smooth to absorb. It seemed like a chaotic, erratic force, one that made his heart race in confusion.

Han Yu remembered the Dark Blue wisps seemed to have come from Li Mei.

’Where did these come from?’ He wondered. ’Since this is from the emotion of surprise... Is this due to my return?’ He realized.

He struggled to refine these, but the surprise emotion energy made the process difficult. His focus wavered, and his mind raced as he tried to make sense of it all. Still, he pressed on, compressing the grey energy into small dots.

They slowly condensed, but the surprise lingered in his chest. It was a strange feeling—one that seemed to echo in his soul, unsettling but also strangely empowering.

Just as he thought he couldn’t handle any more, a few wisps of yellow energy materialized. These were brighter, warm and vibrant with joy. Han Yu hesitated for a moment before reaching out for them. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

As the yellow wisps entered his body, a feeling of elation flooded his being. His heart felt lighter, the weight of sorrow and surprise momentarily lifted. The joy energy was like a burst of sunlight in the dark corner of his soul.

’I guess someone is happy due to my return.’ Han Yu smiled.

The joy wasn’t as intense as the sadness or the surprise, but it was steady, calming. He felt the warmth spread through him as he absorbed the yellow wisps, transforming them into Soul Qi with ease. The process felt far smoother, and as he refined the joy energy, his soul felt more solid, more complete. It was a peaceful, satisfying sensation—one that he knew would be beneficial.

And once he had obtained the Yellow energy of joy, no more Dark Blue energy of sadness came, making Han Yu think that these might be from Li Mei as well. He didn’t think there would be anyone else happy about his return.

’Maybe Fatty Kui number two... But I don’t know if he learned of my death and return. I can’t differentiate the sources anyways.’ Han Yu thought.

Han Yu didn’t know how many wisps had come to him—how many emotions he had experienced in such a short span of time. His soul felt fuller than before, a swirling mix of dark blue, grey, and yellow energies. Each type of emotion seemed to affect him differently, yet together they were shaping something new, something powerful.

He sat in the clearing for a long while, still absorbing the energy, still refining it into Soul Qi. It was slow work, but it was progress. With each passing moment, he could feel his connection to the Soul Qi growing stronger, his soul becoming more attuned to the Undying Destiny Severance technique.

After a time, Han Yu opened his eyes and exhaled deeply, feeling the strange mixture of emotions still lingering within him. His body felt different, more powerful than before. The energy had infused him, and he knew it would be the foundation for his next steps.

He could feel the Qi within him, ready to surge again when the time came. But for now, he needed to rest and gather his strength. The work ahead of him would be long, but with each passing day, he would grow stronger, more in control of the power he had inherited.

And with that, Han Yu rose to his feet, the darkness of the night surrounding him. He had gained another piece of his power, but the journey was far from over. There were still many questions to answer, many secrets to uncover. And he would do it, one step at a time.
