Worldly Overlord - Chapter 53

“Boss, the plan didn’t go as expected.” The sovereign said, bowing towards the man in a wheelchair in front of him.

The words the sovereign said made a frown appear on the man’s face. He clenched his hand into that of a fist, “Sigh…. It’s not your fault. Even I didn’t expect his soul sea to be that greedy.”

Soul sea was the space that held a powerhouse soul energy. It was the very core of one’s being. Every individual had a soul sea however some of them were very weak, so they were incapable of developing it forward.

While those who had strong soul sea would choose which aspect they wanted to specialize in.

In this world, the soul could be said to be everything. As the stronger one’s soul was, the greater his or her talent. The soul was also the foundation for the control of true celestial energy.

Even if one had many potentials but he or her soul isn’t strong enough, then sooner or later the potential would eventually die off.

Most people who decide to become a battle-type powerhouse either possess a weak soul sea or couldn’t afford to become a soul-type powerhouse.

And of course, they were ways of increasing one’s soul sea, but those methods came at a very high cost.

This sea was more like a dimension. And as one goes further the cultivation path, their soul sea would become akin to something like a tiny world.

The soul sea mostly resides near the brain area. As it depends on the brain to exist in most cases.

“I transferred a quarter of my soul energy to him, but I could only bring him to the peak of Red soul stage.” The sovereign stated, looking very displeased.

Each of the seven soul stages had four phases namely, the initial phase, mid-phase, late phase, and finally the peak phase.

“Hmmmmm….. Since we went against the person warning, I think it’s time to deal with the consequence of teaching him about the soul.” The man in the wheelchair said.

The sovereign seemed to have recalled something, “Boss, I felt a change in the surrounding when I was training the kid and something strange happened to me.”

His words made a smile appear on the boss’s face.

The sovereign and the dominator stared at their boss worriedly as they couldn’t think of any reason that could make a smile appear on his face.

“Boss?” The duo called out their master, bringing him out of his world.

“Hahahaha…. It’s just been long I’ve seen someone bold enough to threaten me.” The boss said with a chuckle.

……………..

Devon’s eyes began twitching, showing signs that he was about to wake up. And a few minutes later his eyes were wide open.

The last thing he could remember was the sovereign pointing his finger at him, passing some sort of technique, and then he fainted afterward.

“Oh, yeah, the techniques,” Devon mumbled in a very low voice.

He then shut his eyes closed once again, trying to recollect the information that was imparted to him. Devon was beginning to doubt the sovereign words of saying the soul impartation technique was the best way of passing information.

While the technique was praised, all he could remember was just the names of the technique and not the way to process.

“Contractor is at the peak phase of Red soul stage, meaning he’s not yet eligible to access any of this technique.” The voice said.

This was the first time the voice has spoken to him since he had been in this auction. Except for giving him the task, the voice never said anything else.

And how did he become a Red soul stage powerhouse very quickly? He had once heard from some staff In the auction complain about how difficult it was to improve one’s soul stage.

“That’s probably because I’m a genius.” Those were the only explanation Devon could give himself.

“Then why did he teach me if he knew I’m not going to learn it right now?” a frown surfaced on Devon’s face as he said those words.

The voice didn’t answer Devon Immediately, instead, it remained silent for exactly fifty-five seconds before it replied to him. “Contractor’s soul energy is not sufficient enough for their usage.”

Devon frowned, he wasn’t a dummy and could tell that there was more to it than the voice was letting out.

And from what he had noticed in the past months, the voice was hiding a lot of things from him. Devon was also beginning to think that the voice was restricting his growth in some ways.

“You’re awake?” A voice resounded in the room Devon was in. Which interrupted his train of thought.

Devon looked at the person who walked into the room and unknowingly a smile appeared on his face. They were something about this person that just made all the hairs on his body stand.

Whenever he was around this person, that other side of him which he often tries to avoid always comes to light.

He had once thought, it must have been because of the devil’s influence but in that seven months he spent with her, Devon knew that this part of him had always existed.

It wasn’t loving but instead, it was lust. Anytime he was around this woman, he always felt the need to pounce on her over and over.

And the surprising thing of all was this woman also felt the same way towards him. They could go on for days if possible, and they were also fully aware that there was no such thing as love between them, instead, it was just that they both lusted after one another.

While the other sister made him feel the warmth and loved, this sister ignited the flame in him.

“Teresa, what are you doing here?” Devon asked, getting up from the bed he was laying on.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Devon felt like his body had become lighter, and he also seemed to have lost some weight.

Devon’s mouth formed an ‘O’ shape as he felt the changes in his body. He was beginning to wonder what exactly happened during that memory gap he had that must have brought these changes to his body.

He knew that the increase in his soul stage brought upon some changes but could it have been this great.

The energy that was flowing through his body was fierce and robust. Devon could tell that there was a huge increase in his overall strength.

If before his training with the dominator he had a thirty percent increase in strength, right now he had close to a seventy percent increase.

“Can’t a lady come to spend some private time with her man?” Teresa said, walking towards Devon.

Truthfully, if it was in ancient days, this woman could be sentenced to death for possessing this kind of terrifying beauty. It was a face that could ruin lives.

While Devon refers to his beauty as a sin, then this lady’s beauty was a crime to mankind.

Apart from the face and full packaged shape, she had a bewitching fragrance that seemed to be able to draw any being to her.

They were no doubt that wherever this woman goes, she was going to be the center of attention regardless of how many women were there.

Devon welcomed the hug invite from the lady.. He chuckled as the lady whispered some words into his ear.
