Chapter 3: Hu Sha Treasure and Peak Dou Huang Power
Medusa stared at the translucent, floating soul of Wu Tian and asked again, "So according to you, it was I who awakened you? But I don't recall doing anything. What exactly is the method to awaken you?"
She had to be sure of how this so called Guardian Spirit was awakened. If she hadn't done anything, then this soul was lying!
Wu Tian blinked his hazy, indistinct eyes.
Why was she asking for details? What was he supposed to say? Oh, Your Majesty, I accidentally touched…
Nope. Absolutely not.
If he admitted that, he'd sound like some perverted, low grade guardian spirit. No prestige at all!
So, Wu Tian calmly smiled and said, "The method to awaken me is a kiss."
Yes! That sounded much more elegant!
A kiss that awakens the Guardian Spirit now that had a noble ring to it. It felt pure. Romantic, even!
Medusa thought back to what had just happened and nodded. She had kissed the pendant.
So this guardian spirit… might actually be real.
But he seemed way too weak.
The way he was floating around, looking as if he could vanish at any moment… Who was protecting whom here?
"Then, Guardian Spirit Wu Tian, how exactly did you enter my body just now?" Medusa asked again, still puzzled.
Wu Tian felt like Medusa's questions were getting harder to answer. How was he supposed to explain that he just whooshed inside?
In the end, he could only tell the truth:
"I don't know… it just happened. Woosh! Like a rocket I was in!"
…
"Rocket? So you just shot up like a monkey into the sky?" Medusa's amethyst eyes flashed mischievously as she gave him a playful smile.
"Well then, Guardian Spirit, do it again. This queen wants to feel it."
Wu Tian: …
Fine!
Without hesitation, Wu Tian transformed into a streak of light and shot back into Medusa's body.
Medusa frowned slightly.
She hadn't been prepared for it, and having something suddenly enter her body…
It was an odd sensation, to say the least.
But now she was sure this soul, this Wu Tian, really was her Guardian Spirit!
"All right, you can come out now," Medusa said nonchalantly.
Wu Tian obediently exited Medusa's body.
By now, entering and exiting was as natural as coming home.
He felt no discomfort on the contrary, it was quite… enjoyable.
However, the moment he emerged again, he suddenly felt weak. His form flickered, and exhaustion washed over him.
What was going on?
Could it be that, as a Guardian Spirit, he couldn't stay outside for too long?
Medusa observed him closely.
He was already so indistinct that she could barely tell if he was male or female anymore.
Shaking her head, she sighed and massaged her forehead in frustration.
"Sigh… Guardian Spirit Wu Tian, it seems you're too weak to be of any use to this queen. You're still not good enough. Go back inside and rest."
Wu Tian almost choked.
Not good enough?!
Yes, he was in soul form.
Yes, he had no Dou Qi.
But he had a cheat system, okay?!
What was he, some pet that just came and went at her command?
Did he, as a Guardian Spirit, have no dignity at all?!
Would he really let himself be looked down on by a woman?!
"System, you sly thing! Hurry up and open my Beginner's Gift Pack!"
Ding! Congratulations, Host, on opening the Beginner's Gift Pack! You have received the exclusive divine tier storage ring: Hu Sha Treasure!
…
…
That's it???
What about my Dou Qi?!
I'm supposed to be Medusa's Guardian Spirit!
Shouldn't I at least have a higher Dou Qi level than her?!
If not Dou Di, then at least Dou Sheng just for fun, right?!
If I'm weaker than her, won't she just keep looking down on me?!
I refuse to hear those three humiliating words again: "You're not good enough."
And seriously, Hu Sha Treasure?
That name… was it even proper?
It could be a divine tier ring, but at the end of the day… it was still just a ring!
What kind of "treasure" was this? I just hope it's not the kind of thing that needs wiping after use…
Wu Tian internally shouted, "System! Are you kidding me?! Where's my Dou Di power?!"
**Ding! Congratulations, Host, on further unlocking your Beginner's Gift Pack! Your soul realm has ascended to Great Perfection of the Spirit Realm! Your soul power has reached Peak Dou Huang! **
Wu Tian blinked.
"Huh?"
…
That's it???
Where are my battle techniques?!
I am
Ding! Since the Host is currently in soul form, no battle techniques, pills, or other rewards will be distributed at this time.
Perfect.
Sealed airtight.
Not even a loophole to exploit…
Wu Tian had half a mind to complain some more, hoping the system would throw him a few high tier techniques or heavenly pills just to shut him up.
But apparently, that wasn't happening.
Tch. One star. Bad review.
Still, he couldn't deny that his soul power had undergone a massive transformation.
He felt amazing.
His form had solidified significantly he could actually see the length and thickness of his fingers now!
To test his limits, he quickly floated away from Medusa.
The moment he reached a distance of exactly 1.8 meters, his body flickered, as if he were about to vanish.
So that was his range he could only exist within 1.8 meters of Medusa.
Wait a minute…
1.8 meters…
That was the exact width of his bed back in his past life.
Coincidence?
Maybe.
But he couldn't test his time limit just yet.
He quickly returned to Medusa's side, this time drifting even closer than before.
Why?
Because the nearer he was, the better he felt.
Medusa blinked her long eyelashes.
She watched as Wu Tian's form, which had been on the verge of vanishing, suddenly became clear and stable again.
Then, he started floating around her.
Then, he got even closer.
What was he up to?
Medusa found it all very strange.
A moment ago, this Guardian Spirit had been weak and unstable.
Now, in just a few seconds, he had suddenly reached the level of Peak Dou Huang?!
How was that possible?!
Just now, he had zero power.
Now, he was on par with her?!
Medusa's mind raced with questions.
Her amethyst eyes gazed up at Wu Tian, curiosity and surprise written all over her delicate, slightly parted lips.
Due to the slight difference in water level between them, their reflections on the lake's surface appeared as if they were pressed together.
That image…
That moment…
It was frozen in time.
And for Wu Tian, it was absolutely breathtaking.
Now that he had reached Peak Dou Huang, his full form was visible.
His fair skin, refined features, and long black hair draped over his shoulders he was, without a doubt, a handsome young man.
Of course, he'd look even better if he had clothes on.
As Wu Tian stared at Medusa, he suddenly felt an overwhelming urge
Abort mission! This is dangerous!
His instincts screamed at him.
Acting fast, he shut his eyes and turned his back on her just in time!
Otherwise… he might have accidentally done something reckless to Medusa's beautiful face.
Whew… close call!
