Chapter 519
"Do you remember what happened just now? Don't rush to answer, think back carefully." Wang Yu pondered for a moment and asked the youth solemnly.
"What happened?
I... when the big hole grew on my belly, that fairy sister with the strange hair said she could help me... Later, I seemed to have fallen asleep in a very dark place. Just now, when I woke up, I found myself turned into a furry monster, and then I saw Brother Wang. Then, my whole body was very painful, but after the pain, I seemed to have turned back into a human from a monster.
Brother Wang, I... what has happened to me? How did my body become like this... Am I about to die?" After thinking for a long while, Wang Tiezhu began to recount timidly and asked with great concern.
"Of course you didn't die. In order to save your life, that fairy just used a certain method to keep you in a state of suspended animation for a period of time. You have just been awakened now.
As for the so-called monster transformation earlier, it was just a small mistake in the magic used during the awakening. But since you have recovered your original appearance now, there shouldn't be much of a problem." After listening, Wang Yu thought for a moment before explaining it this way.
"Then now that I have fully woken up, does it mean I'm already fine? The big hole on my belly is also gone." Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu looked down at his abdomen and asked with great joy, seemingly not caring much about the silver-white phantom state he had turned into.
"It seems that is the case, but I need to check again and do a few small tests." Wang Yu frowned and replied uncertainly.
"Okay, then please trouble Brother Wang to check for me." Wang Tiezhu replied without hesitation, seemingly trusting Wang Yu immensely.
"If you feel anything wrong, tell me immediately, and I will stop at once."
This answer from Wang Tiezhu was exactly what Wang Yu wanted. He immediately did not stand on ceremony, pinched a formula with one hand, and pointed a finger toward his brow.
The next moment, a vast divine sense swept out, covering the youth's entire body before him. At the same time, several strands of divine thought separated and began to carefully check Wang Tiezhu's body inch by inch from head to toe.
While urging his divine thought, Wang Yu collected the information fed back from it. After a moment, he could not help but marvel, his face full of astonishment.
At this moment, Wang Tiezhu was undoubtedly not a true physical entity. Under the sensing of divine sense and the deep inspection of divine thought, the other party's body did not seem to be pure soul power either. Although the body was somewhat blurry, upon careful observation, one could still see faint, ant-sized silver spirit pattern symbol phantoms on the surface, as if the entire body were composed of these spirit patterns.
And through the previous conversation, Wang Yu also knew that Wang Tiezhu's mind was clear and his speech was logical, seemingly no different from before.
According to the Soul-Descending Art, every protective soul pattern condensed from a demon soul would have the demon soul's original consciousness wiped clean during the refining process, leaving only pure soul power to condense the spirit patterns.
Otherwise, if the soul pattern had even a trace of the demon soul's residual consciousness, the caster would never dare to take it into their body; otherwise, wouldn't that be giving the other party the best opportunity for possession?
But these silver-white spirit pattern symbols that made up Wang Tiezhu's body were undoubtedly transformed from the previous soul pattern, and even the aura had completely turned into Wang Tiezhu's aura.
Could it be that, just as seen earlier, Wang Tiezhu's memory data had been completely input into the blank soul pattern symbol, allowing Wang Tiezhu to be directly resurrected with the help of the soul pattern's power?
Then, what does Wang Tiezhu count as in this situation?
Is he a conscious protective soul pattern?
If that were truly the case, would Wang Tiezhu still be controlled by him like a soul pattern?
Wang Yu's thoughts turned rapidly. After some hesitation, he withdrew his divine thought and divine sense, changed the magic formula in his hand, and began to chant incantations.
The gray-white magic pattern diagram in his divine sense sea lit up, and gray magic pattern phantoms emerged one by one, beginning to summon the soul pattern.
An incredible scene appeared!
Wang Tiezhu, who had been standing dazed on the spot, suddenly had a thunderous sound ring out within his body. The whole person, amidst swirling electric light, rapidly deformed and shrank, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into an egg-sized silver-white soul pattern symbol, shooting directly toward Wang Yu's brow.
Wang Yu was startled. Out of caution, he did not let this silver-white soul pattern enter his body directly. Instead, he released a strand of divine thought, met it directly, and instantly drilled into this soul pattern.
The next moment, the silver soul pattern stopped abruptly in front of him and could no longer fly forward by even half a step.
Sure enough, it returned to the soul pattern state and was still under control!
Wang Yu felt a slight joy in his heart.
After checking bit by bit with his divine thought, he determined that this protective soul pattern, apart from the change in color, had no major differences from when it was gray-white before.
Oh, there was one other difference, which was that there was no longer a trace of Wang Tiezhu's aura on the soul pattern symbol, as if the whole person had completely disappeared.
"Wang Tiezhu, are you inside?"
Wang Yu controlled his divine thought and called out a few times toward the interior of the soul pattern, but there was no response.
Wang Yu's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly followed the Soul-Descending Art incantation, raised one hand, and cast a silver magic formula onto the soul pattern.
The soul pattern trembled slightly, and after the silver light on its surface flashed a few times, a weak young man's voice finally came out from within again:
"Brother Wang, why did I fall asleep again? This place is so dark, and where is this? Why can't I feel my body?"
Wang Tiezhu was clearly panicked again.
"Brother Wang, don't be afraid. You exist in soul mode now, so naturally, you can't feel your body. Wait a moment, I will cast a spell, and you think about turning back into your original appearance, and you should be able to recover as before."
Hearing this, Wang Yu changed the magic formula in his hand and responded clearly through that strand of divine thought on the soul pattern.
Following that, he changed his hand formulas, recalled this strand of divine thought, and once again gave up control over the soul pattern.
The next moment, the silver-white soul pattern blurred a few times in the air, and after a roar from within, it began to expand wildly against the wind amidst the swirling electric light.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Tiezhu's figure appeared on the spot again, only his face still held a dazed expression.
"Sure enough, Brother Wang, your soul has now merged with this soul pattern. When I am not casting spells to control it, you can also control the soul pattern to turn back into your original appearance.
But when I, as the master, begin to cast spells to summon the soul pattern, you will lose the corresponding control power and can only temporarily fall asleep within the soul pattern to save your own soul consumption." Seeing this, Wang Yu clapped his hands and laughed, most of the doubts in his heart having been dispelled.
"Is that so? Does that mean my current body is actually this thing called a 'soul pattern,' and it is your thing, Brother Wang?" Wang Tiezhu listened, half-understanding, but he generally grasped his current situation and muttered.
