Austin hurried over to help when he found Tessa and the other two being bewitched by the sounds of the spiritual souls coming from within the mist.
Urgently, Austin mustered his vital energy and released a deep throaty shout into the three maidens' ears while he released a focused blast of his spiritual sense to defend their Soul Seas.
Finally, the three maidens recovered from their trans-like states. All were shocked, their bodies soaked in sweet intoxicating sweat.
"It scaredto death. | seemed to be caught in a dream in which my spiritual souls were trapped and couldn't find my body.
| felt as if | was lost at sea. It's too scary!" Dahlia recalled as she clutched at her chest, which heaved passionately with each shallow breath, quite enchanting to behold.
"Everybody be careful. The sounds you have just heard is a kind of spiritual sense attack, which is meant to bewitch your spiritual souls and make them wander outside of your Soul Seas.
You must protect your Soul Seas well," Austin reminded.
"l see.
It was so frightening." Dahlia retrieved four elixirs from her Space Ring, enough for everyone.
"This type of elixir is very good for enhancing your spiritual sense force. As the gift of saving my life, | will give one to each of you," Dahlia said to Austin and Tessa.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAustin took two of the elixirs as he gave a soft smile.
"Fifth-grade elixirs, they should work fine." Austin just needed a glimpse at them to know the grade of the elixirs.
The efficacy of a fifth-grade elixir should be pretty useful.
"Tessa, take both of these elixirs for you. My spiritual sense force is more powerful than yours. Take one more for yourself just in case, for this place is far too weird." Austin handed both elixirs to Tessa. After a brief hesitation, she reluctantly accepted the gift at Austin's insistence and took the other one.
"Hum, | never expected a lecher like you to have a good side," Dahlia said in astonishment as she stared at Austin with new eyes.
"Be careful. Followclosely. | will disperse these spiritual souls to make way for you to rush out," Austin instructed decisively.
The instant his voice broke off, large puffs of overwhelming grey mist enshrouded the four.
"Flesh! There is flesh here!" Hundreds of thousands of spiritual souls’ mutterings beclouder as soon as the companions were surrounded by the dense mist.
At the stime, all the spiritual souls were drawn straight at them.
"Watch out! These spiritual souls are apparently trying to take over our bodies. Release your spiritual sense forces and defend your Soul Seas with all your might. Never let these incorporeal spiritual souls enter your Soul Seas." In a split second, before those unoccupied spiritual souls cat them, Austin had sensed that these were hungering for their bodies. It was probably the spiritual souls who had tried to take the four's bodies as their own.
Austin also realized that the spiritual sense energy involved in those spiritual souls differed in strength. But, considering his own vast spiritual soul sense, most of those spiritual souls were quite weak compared to him. It would be an easy thing for Austin to disperse them.
With this realization, Austin exercised his Spiritual Sense Flying Needle skill.
Twenty Spiritual Sense Flying Needles flew out from his body and targeted twenty spiritual souls in their head-most position.
Austin was already very proficient in the martial arts skill of the Spiritual Sense Flying Needle, plus his spiritual sense force was even more powerful than that of a master whose cultivation base had reached the Master Realm, thus his Spiritual Sense Flying Needle was tremendously powerful.
"Grrrrr!" Immediately, the spiritual souls struck by the Spiritual Sense Flying Needles retreated with the echoes of their shrill shouts lingering in the mist.
Sof the spiritual souls with weaker spiritual sense energy were simply crushed by the Spiritual Sense Flying Needles there and then. The remaining pieces of their spiritual souls drifted on the air before vanishing.
Sof the spiritual souls with a more powerful spiritual sense energy, quickly restored their strength soon after being struck.
They lunged at Austin and the three maidens with vengeful screeches.
To deal with these spiritual souls which had greater spiritual sense energy, Austin gathered a dozen Spiritual Sense Flying Needles and bombarded them in a cluster attack, until they too were ripped into pieces.
However, there were too many spiritual souls within the dense mist, and those subsequent ones didn't know what had happened at all.
Advancing wave upon wave, the spiritual souls' attack never stopped.
Tessa, Dahlia and Faye huddled close together and followed tightly behind Austin. Their faces had turned completely pale at the sight of those endless spiritual souls engaging in a relentless attack.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Gol" Soon a passage was forming as Austin dispersed or crushed the spiritual souls in their way.
Within the grey mist, the four people swiftly moved forward.
After a while of watching the numerous spiritual souls ahead of them, Austin suddenly thought of a strange spiritual sense force skill: the Soul-transforming Skill.
He had found a martial arts manual from the Ghost Sect in the Ghost Valley, and the Soul-transforming Skill was recorded in that manual.
At the time, when he was being trapped in the Ghost-devouring Flag and faced hundreds of thousands of ghosts, Austin had utilized the Soul-transforming Skill to refine the ghosts. He had escaped from the Ghost-devouring Flag, and thus his spiritual sense force had also improved then.
But he had never cultivated this spiritual sense skill further since then.
To start with, a man must absorb the spiritual sense energy from the spiritual souls of other people in order to enhance his own spiritual sense force. It was therefore a kind of cruel, evil cultivation method.
Secondly, Austin had not been able to find so many spiritual souls to cultivate the Soul-transforming Skill before. He was not the kind of person who was utterly devoid of a conscience. Therefore he could not in good conscience slaughter other warriors simply to loot their spiritual souls for his own cultivation.
This was the reason why he had stopped the cultivation of the Soul-transforming Skill.
But at the moment, a golden opportunity now presented for Austin to cultivate the Soul-transforming Skill, as there were so many spiritual souls available. They already had no bodies, so he would not have to engage in unconscionable slaughter in order to get a supply of spiritual souls.
Plus, these spiritual souls were also trying their best to capture his body, so there was no need to feel guilty about taking their energy! Having carefully considered, Austin then made a resolute decision to make use of this vast supply of spiritual souls to cultivate his Soul-transforming Skill.
So Austin firmly planted his feet and stopped moving forward on the path through the mist.
Tessa, Dahlia and Faye were all following Austin very closely, and his abrupt halt caused them to pile up behind him in a collision.
The three maidens had been moving single file with Dahlia in front. With his sudden immobility, she was knocked forward against Austin, her breasts pressing tightly into his back.
"You damned lecher!"
