HELP! These Girls Wants To Kill Me-Chapter 245

Listening to her, Yang Ze couldn’t help but nod subconsciously. When he first asked her this question, she just scoffed at him, but now... now she seemed more than willing to tell him. Though the price he paid was the melting of his eyes, Yang Ze felt it was worth it to know more about the realms that truly rule over this world.

"Let’s come to the soul tempering realm first." Speaking till here, Lin Meilin’s eyes had a solemn expression as she continued speaking.

"To understand the difference between a Core Condensation realm powerhouse and a Soul Tempering realm expert is like asking for the difference between an ant and a cultivator."

"There is just no comparison."

Lin Meilin paused for a moment before speaking slowly.

"The realm of Core Condensation is all about Elemental energy."

"But the realm of Soul Tempering is all about a person’s soul."

"When a Core Condensation cultivator masters all five elements, they have to create an elemental bridge in their dantian, connecting it to their soul."

"It is only then... they could truly tap into the strength of soul."

"Remember... Internal energy is the foundation, Elemental energy is the material to build upon it."

"And soul... soul is the result."

"Do you understand?" Speaking till here, she turned to ask Yang Ze, who nodded subconsciously.

"Of course, you don’t understand."

Seeing him nod, she couldn’t help but let out a cold snort.

"But you will... Just remember what I told you."

Although Yang Ze dind’t know what those words meant, he still kept them in his heart. Just as Lin Meilin said, he couldn’t understand them now, but he will surely in the future.

"What do Soul Tempering realm experts practise?" Yang Ze finally asked his first question. "I mean, what is their strength? How powerful they are compared to the Core Condensation realms expert?"

Initially, he merely wanted to know what he saw using his All-seeing eyes, but he held back that thought for now. Lin Meilin must have her own reasons to teach him this.

What he needed to do was to keep quiet and listen to her.

"What do they practise?" Lin Meilin simply exhaled a mouthful of air before answering him.

"They practise the way of the soul."

"As for how strong they are..." She merely raised her finger before tapping it on the air in front of her, and in that instant, Yang Ze’s body froze.

He felt like he was under some kind of restriction. He could see, he could hear, he could smell, but he couldn’t move. It was as if he had turned into a statue.

"This is the strength of Soul Tempering." Lin Meilin spoke in a leisurely tone.

"It doesn’t matter how strong a person is. It doesn’t matter how strong their internal energy or elemental energy is."

"What a soul tempering expert controls is the strength of soul."

"Just a flick of their finger is enough to instantly kill tens of thousands of Core Condensation realm experts."

"Controlling others’ bodies, controlling others’ souls... these are just the basic things that a Soul Tempering expert can do."

"You experienced it firsthand, didn’t you?"

The more Yang Ze listened to her, the more he felt his heartbeat hasten.

Just as Lin Meilin said, he clearly remembered the first time he came across the old monster in the Soul Tempering realm.

At that time, he, along with Lin Yue and Xiao Ruolan, was trying to infiltrate the Duality Sect when they were caught by an old woman who, with a simple tap of her finger, made them incapacitated.

That feeling of helplessness and powerlessness was still fresh in his mind.

"Even if you manage to step into the Core Condensation realm and have a number of skills, you wouldn’t be able to reach near a Soul Tempering realm expert, much less fight them. Just a simple flick of their finger is enough to kill you a million times over."

"There is a reason why Soul Tempering powerhouses rule over the continent."

Speaking till here, Lin Meilin went silent for a long time. There were still a lot of things that she didn’t tell Yang Ze. And for the time being, she didn’t think he needed to know. She was merely teaching him about the knowledge so that he clearly understood his current position in this world. So in the future, he would refrain from doing something as stupid as using his observation skills on random people.

"And then... there’s the realm after the Soul Tempering realm."

"Heaven Step."

"Heaven Step."

Both Lin Meilin and Yang Ze spoke at the same time.

"Do you know what a Heaven Step is?" Lin Meilin didn’t tell him immediately, but asked him a simple question.

"...." Yang Ze thought for a long time, but other than the fact that the Heaven Step was a myth and the only person who managed to reach this realm was Yun Ning, he didn’t know anything else.

Watching his silence, Lin Meilin wasn’t disappointed. On the contrary, she would have been more surprised if Yang Ze knew the answer.

Taking a deep breath, she slowly reached out to ruffle Yang Ze’s hair before speaking in a soft tone.

"Heaven Step means carving one’s own piece of heaven."

Her words instantly made Yang Ze’s breathing stop. Although he didn’t understand what those words meant, he had a feeling that the meaning in those words was astounding.

"Just remember that an expert in Heaven Step is akin to a part of this world’s heaven."

"Observing them is akin to observing the heaven of this world..."

"And trust me... it is not a thing that the likes of you can look."

*Bang

With a click, Yang Ze’s thoughts became clear as he finally understood what happened when he used his All-seeing eyes to look at Lin Meilin.

"This... this..." Swallowing a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, Yang Ze’s body trembled for an instant before he let out a mouthful of turbid air.

He wanted to ask more... Since the Soul Tempering realm expert was already this strong, how strong a Heaven Step powerhouse must be?

He wanted to know the difference between them... he wanted to know what was so special about Heaven Step and what kind of power they controlled, but looking at Lin Meilin’s expressionless face, which clearly didn’t want to answer him, he swallowed back the questions before giving her a simple nod.

"Good." Patting her hands in satisfaction, Lin Meilin raised her soft hand to poke Yang Ze’s nose.

"Remember... do not use your skill recklessly. Even a Soul Tempering realm expert could feel your gaze, much less those in the Heaven Step."

"Besides... everyone’s essence is different."

"If you accidentally look at those mindless creatures roaming the fog with this skill, you will turn into one of them."

"So..." With a smile that wasn’t quite the smile, Lin Meilin brought her face directly in front of Yang Ze, gazing deep in his eyes as her heavy voice reached his ears.

"DO NOT USE THIS STUPID SKILL RECKLESSLY."

"Or even better... DO NOT USE IT AT ALL."

*Gulp

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Yang Ze nodded subconsciously.

"Good." With a gentle pat on his cheeks, Lin Meilin rested leisurely in the chair, letting Yang Ze digest everything that she just told him.

It wasn’t until an hour passed that she finally broke the silence.

"Besides that stupid skill, what other skill do you have?"

"Oh!" Yang Ze immediately stood up, wanting to demonstrate it to her, but before he could move, Lin Meilin grabbed him by the wrist before pulling him down, making him sit on the chair once again.

"No need to demonstrate. A detailed introduction would be nice."

Feeling the soft hand on her wrist and the warmth of her skin, Yang Ze nodded in response before thinking about what he should tell her.

It wasn’t until a few moments passed that he finally began to speak.

"There is a skill called Windborne."

"It lets me fly in the air."

Yang Ze’s voice was filled with pride when he mentioned the skill.

Even those in the Soul Tempering realm couldn’t fly. But he... who was in the Vein Expansion could.

For a moment, he wanted to see the shocked expression on Lin Meilin’s face; he wanted to see her mouth open in surprise.

But to his dismay, she merely nodded in response.

Even in his wildest imagination, he wouldn’t have thought that she had known about the fact that he could fly for quite a while.

After all, she saw him flying on the mountaincliff when he displayed it for the first time, thinking he was alone.

Although Yang Ze was a bit disappointed by this lack of reaction, he didn’t put it in his heart. He didn’t know how strong Lin Meilin truly was. Perhaps for her, something like flying was a mere child’s play... nothing to be proud about.

Scratching his nose in embarrassment, Yang Ze’s eyes darted to the ground below him before he spoke further.

"The next skill is illusion master."

"I can create illusions."

Speaking till here, he waved his hand as his figure instantly disappeared from the chair.

Lin Meilin’s expression didn’t change as she simply nodded in response. She had known about this ability of his for quite a while now.

"It’s a good technique." This was the first time Lin Meilin practised any of his techniques. And just when Yang Ze was beaming with smiles, Lin Meilin’s next words were akin to pouring cold water upon his head.

"Unfortunately, it is useless against Core Condensation experts and above."

"Let’s not even talk about the Soul Tempering realm experts; even a Core Condensation realm expert could use the wind to scan the area."

"Although your illusion is good, it can’t hide the smell, and most importantly, it can not block the elemental energy.

Just a casual swoop of the area with wind energy, and anyone could find your location, regardless of how realistic and good your illusions are.

"I see." Yang Ze couldn’t help but nod absent-mindedly. When he fought against Lin Meilin in the Blue-Faced Tribe, he tried to hide himself and Cang Yue using the illusion technique.

At that time, Lin Meilin found their location in an instant.

After that, he thought about it for an extremely long period of time, but never found an answer.

And now that he finally had his answer, he couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.

The illusion talent still had many shortcomings. In the future, he needed to improve it even further.

"What else?" With this out of the way, Lin Meilin’s voice sounded in Yang Ze’s ears.

’Umm...’ Yang Ze hesitated for a long time, wondering if he should tell her about the Mystic Nether Art or not.

And in the end, he simply gritted his teeth and decided to tell her.

"I... I have the skill called Mystic Nether Art that I had managed to practise till the Earth Realm."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...."

"HUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!?"
