Chapter 228: Big Blue Shark

"Instructor?" Yu Manman called softly.Ackman opened his eyes, glanced at Yu Manman, then closed them again, as if enduring something. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Could you please..."

"Mental pollution level is 49%. He has already taken a Heart Cleansing Pill, and before that, he received a suppressant injection. The mental pollution level was 51% prior to this."

The soldier standing by Ackman looked at him with pity and explained Ackman’s situation to Yu Manman.

"Alright, I understand..."

"Please, take care of this!"

"Of course, you should go out first. I need some peace." Yu Manman said to the soldier beside her.

"Okay!" He immediately left, not disturbing Yu Manman.

Yu Manman looked at the perspiring Ackman and couldn’t help but feel a bit of pity, taking out a tissue to quickly wipe his sweat.

"Instructor, I’m starting, try to relax."

"Alright..."

Yu Manman activated her spiritual power, and the ice-blue, nearly transparent thread of spiritual energy adhered to his forehead, then slowly entered Ackman’s Spiritual Sea.

It was a desolate and dim ocean, with sharp brown rocks at the bottom and not a trace of seaweed.

Yu Manman’s spiritual power, in the form of a small fish, wandered in the sea for a while, looking up to see that even light barely penetrated.

The Spiritual Sea, to a certain extent, reflects the inner world of a Beastman. Such a dark domain proved that Ackman had long been accustomed to closing off his heart, and those rocks were like layers of defense. Content orıginally comes from novelhall.com

Yu Manman was clearing away the black pollution and hadn’t seen Ackman’s spirit body for a long time.

Just when Yu Manman thought she wouldn’t see Ackman’s spirit body, she keenly detected a slight disturbance from behind a reef.

Yu Manman’s spiritual body cleared the pollution nearby and quietly swam over...

A gracefully slender Big Blue Shark peered through the crevices of the rock, observing the little fish that had entered his territory.

The Big Blue Shark’s tail swayed slightly; in the blink of an eye, he could no longer see Yu Manman’s spirit body anywhere.

The Big Blue Shark’s tail froze, lying on the sandy bed, his eyes showing a hint of confusion.

He really liked that little fish, but he didn’t want to go out and look for it; he just wanted to quietly watch it for a few moments.

Suddenly, an ice-blue thread touched the Big Blue Shark’s pectoral fin.

The Big Blue Shark startled and leaped away, crashing into the nearby rock!

Oh no, I’ve been discovered!

The Big Blue Shark stared at the extremely beautiful little fish above, pressed against the rock, and even his tail was stiff!

Clearly, the Big Blue Shark was the master here, and was dozens of times larger than the small fish above, yet he was acting like a frightened cub intruding into another’s territory.

Indeed, a cub.

When Yu Manman saw the Big Blue Shark, she felt that Ackman’s spirit body was like a shy, timid shark cub.

The contrast was striking!

The first time Yu Manman saw Ackman’s spirit body, she had even thought that it would be ferocious and domineering! Who knew it would be so adorable?

Suddenly, she wasn’t afraid anymore and slowly approached Ackman’s spirit body.

The Big Blue Shark widened his eyes, frantically crashing into large rocks and quickly swam into the distant, dark sea!

Yu Manman’s manifested spirit body couldn’t help but blow a bubble.

Did she scare off the instructor’s spirit body?

Was she that intimidating?

Yu Manman sighed and shook her head.

No matter, it’s good to have seen it.

Yu Manman calmed herself and continued working...

"Plop..." A small stone flew over, landing in front of her.

The blue fish lifted its gaze, found nothing unusual, and continued to clear the pollution.

"Plop..."

Another small stone.

Hmm?

The little fish glanced up and saw a shadow flash by.

Instructor Ackman’s spirit body... was certainly childish.

She ignored it and continued to clear the pollution in the Spiritual Sea.

"Plop..."

Another small stone.

Yu Manman didn’t pay attention.

"Plop..."

"Plop..."

More and more small stones appeared by her side, and the playful Big Blue Shark drew closer to her!

When another small stone landed in front of her, she no longer ignored it and her spirit body suddenly dashed forward!

The Big Blue Shark was momentarily stunned, but quickly swam off to a deeper area!

The small fish didn’t catch up and began clearing pollution right there.

Then, the Big Blue Shark started to "cause trouble" again.

To hide her abilities, Yu Manman cleared the pollution slowly. With the ’mischievous’ Big Blue Shark causing chaos nearby, she worked even slower.

Yu Manman’s spirit body chased the Big Blue Shark several times but couldn’t catch it.

Until most of the pollution had been cleared, the small fish swam in Ackman’s Spiritual Sea, then transformed back into a thread of spiritual power, leaving his Spiritual Sea.

Just as the little fish vanished, the Big Blue Shark suddenly appeared, circling several times around where the fish disappeared, feeling somewhat frustrated.

Yu Manman’s spiritual power withdrew from Ackman’s Spiritual Sea. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ackman frowning slightly but seemingly asleep.

If he’s asleep, that means the situation should be alright, doesn’t it?

Yu Manman looked at Ackman’s face, the corners of her lips slightly curved upwards.

Instructor Ackman’s spirit body was rather interesting.

Too bad she didn’t catch him!

Yu Manman didn’t wake Ackman.

Firstly, she didn’t want to disturb the instructor’s rest. Secondly, if the instructor woke up, he might realize what happened in the Spiritual Sea, and Yu Manman feared he might be embarrassed—after all, the spirit body represents a person’s subconscious to some extent.

With Instructor Ackman’s spirit body being so cute and shy, it showed that his inner character was probably similar...

Yu Manman quietly left, informing the people outside about Ackman’s condition.

"He’s asleep?" He was somewhat surprised.

Lieutenant Colonel Ackman was very vigilant, unwilling to be at the mercy of others, and reluctant to reveal his inner vulnerabilities. He had been injured worse before, but even when females entered his Spiritual Sea, he remained cautious, never allowing himself to fall asleep, even if he had to force himself to stay awake.

"Yes, is there a problem?" In Yu Manman’s view, falling asleep was a normal occurrence.

When clearing pollution from the Spiritual Sea, Beastmen feel very comfortable, and it’s normal to accidentally fall asleep.

Instructor Ackman falling asleep should indicate her service quality was good, right?

"No..." He shook his head, "Thank you!"

It was said that Yu Manman was a student taught by Lieutenant Colonel Ackman, perhaps because of trust?

Or maybe Lieutenant Colonel Ackman was just really tired.

It was said that Lieutenant Colonel Ackman almost didn’t come back from that sea area this time!

"You can check on Instructor Ackman’s condition, and if all is fine, I can leave."
