Tower Ascension - Chapter 84

“The lunch was nice,” Peter spoke while rubbing his belly.

“Yeah, the wine truly made the entire food amazing.” Zhao Ming had the same satisfied expression on his face after eating lunch. But soon, the silence flashed on the room.

Peter didn’t even hesitate to take out the Trident of Destruction.

“So, how do we comprehend the Destruction Intent?”

Hearing his question, Zhao Ming sticks out two of his fingers in his right hand touching his forehead. At the same time, he sticks out two of his fingers and touches the trident.

The spirit power bursts out of his body and reached the trident. As soon as it reached the trident, it startled trembling. Slowly, a purple thread emerged from his forehead to the trident. This purple thread was different than any other thread.

It didn’t represent good luck, danger, and death. It only represents enlightenment. At this moment, Zhao Ming tightened his eyebrows and a branch of purple thread emerged out from the main purple thread. It moved out and stuck with Peter’s forehead.

For a moment, Peter didn’t sense any difference but suddenly, he found his consciousness slowly drifting away. It was moving out of his physical body, connecting through the purple thread, entering the trident itself.

When Peter’s consciousness entered the trident, he was left stunned. He didn’t know what just happened. But, he found he could see everything around. In front of him, there were several blue dots.

“That is the Law of Destruction in the form of an enlightenment.”

Suddenly, Zhao Ming’s voice came from behind and startled him. He turned back and saw Zhao Ming but he seemed a little different. His body was like a gas shaped into a human. It was blue. But, then he looked at his own body and found he wasn’t much different from Zhao Ming either.

“So, what do you mean by the enlightenment of Law of Destruction? It can’t be that we will learn Law of Destruction just by touching these blue dots, right?” Peter asked as he curiously stared at the blue dots.

Zhao Ming smiled and nodded his head “Yes, we will learn the Law of Destruction just by touching them.”

After that, he didn’t continue rather gave Peter a meaningful glance.

Seeing that glance, Peter sighed and asked “So, what do you want?”

“Actually, nothing! No, I want something but it’s not something that you can’t give? I just want to absorb this blue dot one hour each day.” Zhao Ming expressed his term but there was a hint of hesitation on his face.

In fact, he didn’t do something out of ordinary. To be exact, he did what he was made for. And, he is the only one who can do this, so even if Peter wants to learn the Law of Destruction in the future, he must come to Zhao Ming.

But, Zhao Ming is still a little skeptical about Peter’s desire to practice the Law of Destruction. And, he understands why. After all, Peter doesn’t seem to have any knowledge about Laws and Intents.

That’s why he just wanted to force Peter to train continuously with him. He waited for Peter to reply with the same expression on his face.

“It will be a little hard to do that every day. But, seven hours a week, I can accept that. Even if I can’t be with you every single day, I will complete it by giving you more hours in a single day. And, we can train more so why did you only mention for one hour a day?” Peter nodded his head and asked.

Seeing him agree, a smile appeared on his face but when he heard Peter’s question, he lets out a sigh.

“It’s not like I don’t want to train more than an hour a day. But, if I want to use my physique continuously, to be exact if I want to use this ability continuously, I must give my body constant breaks. So, for now, I can barely maintain the Purple Thread for an hour a day.”

“But, If I do rest for a day, then I could go for overtime. But, no more than two hours. For now, I don’t have the strength to keep up for a long time. But, don’t worry, once I get stronger, I will be able to hold on for a long time.”

“Alright, then I will also try to manage the time. It will be hard since you already know my condition but if I want to spend my time outside, we can go overtime early so that you can take more rest later. So, how does this truly works?”

“Will we be able to use the Law of Destruction just by absorbing this? I don’t think it would be this easy right?” Peter thought for a moment and tried to make this easier for Zhao Ming. But, without wasting time, he immediately asked about the absorption process.

Hearing his words, Zhao Ming laughed “Of course not! Even with my physique, I can’t take such shortcuts. These blue dots are indeed the Law of Destruction. To be exact, this is a fleshed-out knowledge of Law of Destruction.”

“And, the reason I called this enlightenment is that my ability allows us to soak this knowledge into our brain. Once we absorb this knowledge in our brain, we can slowly take our time and try to comprehend it. The problem with us is that we don’t even have the knowledge to form a foundation.”

“This will help us to create the foundation. As for the house, we need to design it ourselves. The Law of Destruction is very much based on chaos. But, if it gets too chaotic, it leaves messes but Law of Destruction doesn’t.”

“So, first absorb this knowledge for an hour, and then we can try to comprehend it. But, let’s do it quick. Currently, our bodies are in a vulnerable position even though I can sense outside, if we got attacked at once, it will be detrimental to us.”

Hearing his words, Peter’s mood also got serious but he waited. Because he didn’t even know how to absorb these blue dots.

Zhao Ming immediately understood him and showed him the method. He walked up to the blue dot and caught it in his hand. He walked back to the initial position and sat crossed leg with the blue dot on his hand.

“After you hold this blue dot, sit and relax your body. The only way to absorb this blue dot is by letting it enter your body on its own. And, don’t worry, if you can relax properly, it will slowly enter your body.”

Peter nodded his head and walked up to the blue dots and took one of them in his hand. When he held the blue dot, he felt an immense wave of pressure on his body. For a moment, he didn’t understand anything but as soon as he got the idea of it, he used all of his willpower to resist it.

“Oh! I almost forgot that you don’t have my physique. This is a hurdle that you must pass yourself. Bear the pressure and counterattack it.”

Hearing his words, Peter’s face turned ugly. The pressure attacking his body was only getting stronger. So, he wasn’t sure how long will he be able to hold on? Not to mention, he wasn’t even sure to comprehend all this pressure.

‘Hmm! Do you know a hand, Peter?’ Suddenly, a voice rang on his mind that startled him. He very much recognizes this voice. It belonged to none other than the golden soul.

‘Humph! If you can’t even bear such a weak pressure, how can you make your heart as hard as stone?’ Another voice rang on his mind that made his brain filled with shock and confusion. This voice belonged to a dark soul

‘Hahaha! Don’t worry, Peter! I am here to help you. This kind of puny pressure is nothing. Just sit down, and I will help you block this pressure. Since others can cheat, why can’t you?’ The last voice made him even more confused. This voice belonged to his shameless soul.

But, hearing their words, he was relieved. He sat down on the spot and closed his eyes. At this moment, he still felt the immense pressure on his body but soon, he found the pressure wasn’t decreasing at all?

‘Was that just my imagination?’ Peter asked himself when the pressure on his body didn’t decrease.

‘Ahem! Sorry, Peter but I think you should try to bear this pressure by yourself. After all, pain makes the person strong.’ His shameless soul suddenly spoke on his mind and made him speechless.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but curse ‘Damn you! Just brag, keep on barging, I know that you can’t hold it either.’

But, the next second the pressure around him instantly disappeared as if it had never appeared.

‘Hush! Peter, you don’t understand us, do you? We might be just souls but we are the souls of the legendary skill. And, I am the combination of both of them. This kind of pressure is something that I can wipe out with a snap of a finger.’

‘Hush, you truly made me sad, Peter!’
