Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 360: Soul Refining Technique

The battle wasn’t much of a surprise. Posthumous people didn’t dare to come here because this method didn’t work. Although the undead didn’t dare cross the border, their attacks could.

Undead Mage, Undead Flying beings, Undead Archers, etc., could cover a huge range. When such attacks hit the Posthumous people, they would be murdered.

But the difference this time was that Ye Zhongming had Water Bottle Protection that could block their attacks. The Posthumous people just had to do a simple thing: stand at the border. They didn’t need to defend and just had to wave their weapons to attack.

They were holding weapons that Ye Zhongming modified. It was far stronger than the ones they used before.

The undead lifeforms couldn’t fight back at all and were killed like they were fools. The two hunting team leaders killed even the twin-blade warrior who hurt Ye Zhongming.

When the Water Bottle Protection was about to break apart, Ye Zhogming told them to back off. Of course, he didn’t forget to collect the soul pearls.

The reason why Ah Tao was conned was because of this.

“Ye, this… Do you think we can change conditions?”

The Posthumous people were very excited on the way back. Not only did they gain many good bones to craft weapons, but they also didn’t suffer any losses. This was unimaginable in the past.

Of course, they knew the reason. Their gazes toward Ye Zhongming changed. To them, apart from curiosity and praise, there was also respect.

Someone who could modify equipment with strength would be respected anywhere he went.

But Ah Tao felt complicated. He tried to act casual when he asked about those soul pearls, but he didn’t expect Ye Zhongming to come up with such a request.

Ah Tao hesitated. Ye Zhongming’s condition was too tough for the entire Posthumous people race. He wanted to reject it but thought about the relationship they had just built so he couldn’t reject him outright. He felt he was smart to agree, but he just said a number of soul pearls that he felt Ye Zhongming couldn’t achieve. He felt like it was impossible.

But who knew that not only did he do it, he did it on the day!

Ah Tao felt like his legs were smashed several times…

Ye Zhongming was also laughing to himself. Ah Tao was smart, but his life was too locked up. He looked at things through his lens and didn’t know that many in the world could do something that he felt were complicated.

Ye Zhongming suspected what the use of soul pearls were the Posthumous people didn’t raise it. They only talked about the bones. He didn’t believe it. Ah Tao spoke about it, and he knew immediately that they were useful for them. Or rather, Ye Zhongming was sure that it was useful for Ah Tao.

This old man was a mental energy expert, and the soul pearls focused on this area. On Earth, soul pearls were a material related to mental energy. It should be the same here.

Ye Zhongming raised a condition he had been curious about for a long time: how they cultivated.

It was a secret that wouldn’t be passed to anyone, so he wanted to try it.

He didn’t expect Ah Tao to not reject and come up with the condition of trading it for many soul pearls. Ye Zhongming nearly fainted from delight. That was why he didn’t leave after picking up the bones. He used some methods to get a huge amount of soul pearls.

Looking at Ah Tao’s crying face, Ye Zhngming knew that even if he went back against his words, he would get other benefits.

The tribe was delighted when they returned to camp and saw many materials. This meant that they could get a whole new set of equipment.

Ah Tao called Ye Zhongming back to his tent and described life ideals. He had only one goal, which was to be shameless.

Ye Zhongming was experienced in such situations, too. He played along, but he didn’t let go. He even threatened him a little.

Ah Tao had no choice but to bite his teeth, “I can teach you my secret technique, but it is related to mental energy. You must swear never to spread it. Moreover, I want double, no triple, of the soul pearls!”

Seeing his face flush red, Ye Zhongming agreed and stopped infuriating the old man.

Since things couldn’t be retracted, Ah Tao relaxed and muttered some words. It was probably an apology to the ancestors. Then, he told Ye Zhongming the secret of the Posthumous people.

“Here,” Ah Tao nodded, “My mental energy is strong because of the technique I cultivate. I will pass it to you, but I can only teach you a third. I will teach you the other third once you give me enough soul pearls.”

Ye Zhongming blinked, “What about the final third?”

Ah Tao smiled mysteriously, “I can ensure that even if you know a third or two-thirds of this technique, you can get strong, and it won’t have side effects. As for the complete technique, that… Would depend on how well you be a Male Sa.”

Ye Zhongming didn’t know how to react, but since things reached this stage, he could say nothing. He was confident that as time pushed on, as he was more useful in the tribe, he would get the technique. He might even get other techniques.

Ye Zhongming handed over huge amount of soul pearls. He enchanted Ah Tao’s beat bracelet and helped to raise it to white grade. This thing was so strong that even Ye Zhongming was tempted.

Ah Tao then passed a third of the skill to Ye Zhongming.

“Soul Refining Technique.”

A chant entered his mind, and Ye Zhongming found out its name. He read just a small portion, and his hands started to tremble.

This…
