154: Enslaving Cheng Hu

Chapter 154: Enslaving Cheng Hu

Lu Qianyuan's sudden attack was clearly not anticipated by Cheng Hu. After all, Lu Qianyuan had just protected the exotic beasts the entire time, showing no intention of participating in the battle himself.

This led to Cheng Hu having no understanding of Lu Qianyuan's methods and only being able to guess.

Therefore, Cheng Hu was completely unprepared for Lu Qianyuan's assault.

Coupled with Lu Qianyuan unleashing his Spirit Body and Mental Combustion, boosting his strength to the limit, he gave Cheng Hu no chance to turn the tables.

Lu Qianyuan tossed Cheng Hu's arm to the Xuan Yu Black Hawk, while he himself approached Cheng Hu, placing his hand on his head, and continuously infused Mental Energy into Cheng Hu's body.

Cheng Hu resisted the foreign Mental Energy with all his might, but it was futile.

In terms of the quantity of Mental Energy, he was no match for Lu Qianyuan.

Lu Qianyuan's Mental Energy continuously poured into Cheng Hu's body, invading his spiritual sea.

And in terms of quality, Lu Qianyuan was in no way inferior to him.

No matter how Cheng Hu resisted, he could not avoid the fate of his spiritual sea being invaded by Lu Qianyuan.

Facing this desperate situation, Cheng Hu still refused to give up.

'Before breaking through to the Seventh Realm, my lord hinted that I still had a tribulation to face. Is this that time?'

Realizing his predicament, Cheng Hu was startled.

'What I'm facing now is probably the trial before breaking through to the Seventh Realm. If I don't overcome this tribulation with my own strength, I'm afraid I'll never reach the Seventh Realm in my life.'

Thinking of this, Cheng Hu abandoned the idea of dragging Lu Qianyuan down with him.

'My cultivation is in spirit, and what I'm facing now is the tempering of the spirit. I must find a way to overcome it!'

Seeing that he was about to be enslaved by Lu Qianyuan, Cheng Hu steeled his heart, and his spirit began to burn.

He was preparing to temporarily boost his Mental Energy at the cost of his decades-long spiritual Foundation to contend with Lu Qianyuan.

With all his might, Cheng Hu finally withstood Lu Qianyuan's Mental Energy invasion, gaining a slight moment to breathe.

Seeing this, Lu Qianyuan immediately intensified the invasion, giving Cheng Hu no chance to catch his breath.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Cheng Hu also prepared to use this opportunity to completely purge Lu Qianyuan's Mental Energy from his body, and then escape using his boosted power.

The two sides began a new round of struggle.

Although Cheng Hu could temporarily suppress Lu Qianyuan with the power gained from burning his Foundation, it was only for a moment.

Lu Qianyuan, relying on his vast Mental Energy, confronted Cheng Hu. Although Cheng Hu had the home-field advantage, Lu Qianyuan, relying on his vast Mental Energy, actually managed to withstand Cheng Hu's desperate burning.

As long as he could hold out for this period, once Cheng Hu's power dissipated, victory would surely be Lu Qianyuan's.

Cheng Hu was also aware of this, so he went all out, just to force back Lu Qianyuan's Mental Energy.

If he didn't force back Lu Qianyuan, he wouldn't even be able to perfectly control his own body, let alone leave this place.

However, as time passed, Cheng Hu ultimately failed to force back Lu Qianyuan's Mental Energy, and his own power also reached its limit.

Realizing that escape was hopeless, Cheng Hu sighed helplessly.

'I'm afraid I won't be able to overcome this tribulation, but since he wants to enslave my body and suppress my spirit, it proves that I still have value to him, and I still have a glimmer of hope.'

'Although it's slim, I still have to seize the opportunity!'

'But I can't let him read my memories, otherwise he'll find a way to counter me!'

Thinking of this, Cheng Hu immediately activated his Mental Energy, contracting all of it, and then self-sealed.

Although this would allow Lu Qianyuan's Mental Energy to basically completely occupy Cheng Hu's spiritual sea and control ninety-nine percent of his power, thereby successfully controlling his body.

However, due to Cheng Hu's self-Seal, Lu Qianyuan also lost the opportunity to read Cheng Hu's memories.

At the same time, Cheng Hu also lost his perception of the outside world due to the self-Seal, and he would fall into a deep sleep, making it incredibly difficult to turn the tables.

Overall, there were pros and cons, but the pros outweighed the cons.

After all, if he were controlled by Lu Qianyuan, escaping alive would be almost impossible. Now, he could at least prevent Lu Qianyuan from reading his memories and completely controlling his information.

Because of Cheng Hu's surrender, Lu Qianyuan controlled his body without any pressure.

It was just that Cheng Hu's condition was a bit poor at this time. When he had the Sky Centipede Dragon and Golden Scale Dragon Lizard attack Cheng Hu earlier, he didn't hold back at all, not to mention every move was fatal.

Cheng Hu's survival was already remarkable.

It would probably take some time for him to recover, and after recovery, his strength would also decrease, but he would still remain at the Sixth Realm level, which would be no small help to Lu Qianyuan.

Lu Qianyuan took out some healing Materials he had acquired on the way from his space ring and had Cheng Hu consume them to help stabilize his injuries.

After a while, Lu Qianyuan's exotic beast army also arrived.

Several healing-type exotic beasts activated their abilities to help Cheng Hu recover from his injuries.

Although these exotic beasts were only Fourth Realm, with their help, Cheng Hu's injuries quickly improved.

Cheng Hu's injuries were mostly physical, and his physical Realm and spiritual Realm were completely incomparable, at most equivalent to a quasi-Fifth Realm exotic beast.

Fourth Realm recovery methods were very effective on his body.

Given enough time, he could have recovered on his own, but Lu Qianyuan didn't give him any breathing room and immediately took control of him.

He didn't expect to catch a Sixth Realm spiritual Puppet on his way to find Yuan Wood Crystal, which was an unexpected surprise for Lu Qianyuan.

It was just a pity that he couldn't read Cheng Hu's memories, otherwise he would know Cheng Hu's origin and information.

But it was almost the same now; as long as he was given some time, he would be able to wear down Cheng Hu's spirit, and then his memories would be his to explore.

Lu Qianyuan carefully probed Cheng Hu's condition, trying to find some clues and information related to the other party.

A moment later, Lu Qianyuan found no information, but he discovered a very hidden method within Cheng Hu's body.

He could roughly sense the effect of this method, which was probably to restore injuries, remove various statuses, and so on.

It was just that this method was clearly not Cheng Hu's own, and he also didn't know how to trigger it.

This discovery made Lu Qianyuan even more vigilant. He pondered for a moment and gave up the idea of directly triggering this method.

He wasn't sure how to trigger this method, nor did he know if triggering it would attract attacks from others.

Cheng Hu himself was a Sixth Realm cultivator, so anyone who could plant a method in his body and help him must be above the Sixth Realm.

Lu Qianyuan's current strength was not enough to deal with a Seventh Realm cultivator, so it was better not to seek death.
