Chapter 3: Soul Fragments

He wants to kill me, could it be because of that strange blood brain

Ye Chenfeng felt a pain that penetrated deep into his brain, and in the next moment, a multitude of images appeared within his soul. However, these images were like soul-devouring insects, continuously eroding his mind, causing him excruciating pain, as if he were on the brink of death, with his soul yearning to tear apart

In the next moment, the mysterious man forcefully controlled his own soul to leave his body, daringly penetrating into Ye Chenfeng's mind, intending to devour his soul, seize his body, and reclaim the bizarre blood brain

Faced with the soul of the mysterious man, Ye Chenfeng felt as powerless as a fish on a chopping board, allowing the soul of the mysterious man to invade his mind without resistance

The eerie blood brain left him no thought of escape, as the devouring vortex directly shattered his soul

But at that moment, an unexpected event occurred

No

Hmm? Why are there so many things in my mind now?

"Do you really think I am willing to take you as my disciple? I am merely interested in your physical form. Since you have perceived my intentions, you may as well die." The mysterious man commanded the soul beast, the three-headed serpent, which suddenly exerted its strength, wrapping around Ye Chenfeng's body and forcibly pulling him in front of himself

Is that so? Then do you want to learn some skills from me?" The mysterious man smiled enigmatically and asked.

Hmm, where am I? Could it be that I am already dead

Why are you unwilling to take me as your master

Although the mysterious man was seriously injured, the gap in strength between the two was far too great. Ye Chenfeng had no doubt that with just a thought, the mysterious man could command his soul beast, the three-headed serpent, to kill him. Left with no choice, Ye Chenfeng could only swallow his pride and choose to compromise

Having been engulfed by the bizarre blood-brain, the mysterious man immediately sensed danger. He hurriedly condensed his soul into a sphere, intending to escape from Ye Chenfeng's brain

As Ye Chenfeng gradually regained consciousness, he found himself in a space where he could not see his own hand in front of him. In this dark space, a white light point, resembling a star, floated, emanating a heart-stirring and soul-stirring energy.

As Ye Chenfeng gazed at the mysterious light point in the distance, it seemed to possess a life of its own, suddenly darting towards him with a "whoosh" and, before he could react, it merged into his soul

Could that mysterious light point be a fragment of a person's soul

Ye Chenfeng's mind generated a final thought, his vision darkened, and he collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness

As he spoke, a surge of spiritual power erupted in the mysterious man's mind, instantly coalescing into a massive serpent with three fierce heads, its enormous body coiling together and radiating a blinding red light. The overwhelming pressure immediately enveloped Ye Chenfeng, making him feel breathless, and his legs felt as if they were weighed down by lead, rendering him unable to move.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have been knocked out by the pie falling from the sky, overwhelmed with joy. However, Ye Chenfeng was not dazed by this unexpected surprise; he was very clear that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and the vigilance in his eyes grew even stronger.

Do you know who I am? Do you know how many people in the entire Douhun Continent wish to take me as their master?" the mysterious man said in a low voice

After a long time, Ye Chenfeng, drenched in sweat, with a pale face devoid of any color and palms bloodied from being scratched by his own nails, awakened from his unconscious state

Upon thinking of this, Ye Chenfeng felt a tremendous upheaval in his heart, as he vaguely realized that what he had obtained was an unimaginable fortune

The bizarre blood-brain parasitizing Ye Chenfeng's mind seemed to possess a life of its own, unleashing a powerful devouring vortex that counter-consumed the soul of the mysterious man

As Ye Chenfeng slowly opened his weary eyes, a deep voice reached his ears while he was awakening from his unconscious state

It is done, my life is drawing to a close

You are awake

However, this blood brain is exceedingly strange, and the devouring vortex it forms surpasses the limits of his soul's resistance

Your psychological quality is good, but you do not have the right to choose. If you are unwilling to become a disciple now, then you may as well die.

"To be favored by a senior is a blessing for a junior. I wonder if the senior could wait for a few hours for me to return home and inform my parents, after which I will come back to follow the senior in cultivation" said Ye Chenfeng with neither arrogance nor servility

In his desperate cries, his soul was devoured by the eerie blood brain, and his soul beast, the three-headed serpent, instantly transformed into red light, dissipating in mid-air

"No, I am just surprised that my senior has sustained such serious injuries and is still fine." Sensing the hidden danger in the mysterious man's eyes, Ye Chenfeng felt a tightening in his heart and made an effort to calm himself down as he explained

"You, how are you still alive!" Looking at the mysterious man with a gaping hole in his chest, revealing a bloody and mangled body, Ye Chenfeng's face displayed a look of terror

It is unclear how much time has passed, but just as Ye Chenfeng was being tormented to the brink of collapse by this heart-wrenching pain, the mysterious light point fused with his soul, and the sensation of pain finally began to gradually diminish

"Am I not dead? Otherwise, how could this pain be so real?" Experiencing such inhuman agony is undeniably real. Ye Chenfeng strives to maintain the last shred of clarity, holding onto his true self while enduring the suffering.

Although the mysterious man spoke sincerely, Ye Chenfeng caught a hint of shallow killing intent in his eyes

With this wealth, he will be able to change his dire situation and soar to great heights

"Meeting you before my death proves that we are destined to meet. If you are willing to take me as your master, I will impart all my lifelong knowledge to you. By then, when you have mastered your skills, even the kings of this mortal realm will treat you with respect." The mysterious man gazed deeply at Ye Chenfeng, making it impossible to discern his true intentions.

Senior, please do not be angry, I am willing to take you as my teacher

In his view, a person whose chest has been pierced and whose blood has nearly drained away has no possibility of survival; this bizarre scene completely exceeded his imagination

"Senior, the matter of apprenticeship is too significant; could you allow me to discuss it with my family before making a decision?" Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath and said, feigning calmness.

As Ye Chenfeng continued to retreat, the mysterious man's expression grew increasingly grim, and his tone became exceptionally cold, with the murderous intent hidden in his eyes bursting forth without any concealment

Medical skills, soul techniques, secret methods

"What, do you really want me dead?" The mysterious man asked with a hint of danger in his eyes, his tone neither happy nor sad.

Ye Chenfeng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Senior, do you want me to take you as my master?"

Infiltrating Ye Chenfeng's mind, the mysterious man's soul immediately sought to erase his consciousness, devour his soul, and occupy his body

The soul of the mysterious man was devoured, and the eerie blood-brain underwent a transformation. Strange brain cells wriggled rapidly, carrying Ye Chenfeng's soul into a mysterious dream space

Ah ... ...

And this wealth is precisely what he currently needs the most, and what he desires the most

A terrifying thought suddenly emerged in Ye Chenfeng's mind, causing all the hairs on his body to stand on end, and his legs involuntarily retreated backward

When he saw the body of the mysterious man, he was momentarily stunned, and then a torrent of information surged into his mind like a flood breaking through a dam
