The Mightiness of a Spiritualist

The marketplace was where countless people went to buy and sell things.

There were all sorts of people there. From time to time, an argument or a fight occurred. The Rong family didn't allow any huge battles, but they closed an eye on small fights or petty disagreements.

In fact, even the Rong family didn't have enough people to keep a close eye on every corner of the huge city they lived in.

What was happening in the marketplace now was sufficient to shake up the entire Rong clan.

Rong Kaixuan gently tapped the air in front of him. The little round ball in the area between his eyebrows immediately released a powerful amount of a strange force.

Perhaps it was because he was now very angry and aggressive, or perhaps he had begun to hate Rong Yitie and his son deeply, but this time, Rong Kaixuan released almost all the force within the little round ball.

After the test in the bamboo forest with Rong Jiexuan, the force within the little round ball had gone down by a third. He had now gathered the remaining two-thirds on his finger. It instantly displayed a terrifying amount of attraction.

Swooosh swoooosh swooooosh…

A terrifying sound that made one shudder started ringing through the air.

After that, a huge amount of Spirit Power of the sky and earth gathered in the same place.

It was just one moment. It was like a blink of the eye. The place where Rong Kaixuan tapped now had one more human-shaped Spirit Body.

This body's features were blurry, but it was a little larger in size than most normal martial arts practitioners.

It lifted its head and stared at Rong Yitie and his son with a pair of eyes that looked like they belonged to a dead fish. They had no life in them and were completely emotionless.

The entire marketplace had fallen silent by now.

When Rong Yitie started getting nasty earlier, some people were disgusted by it. Yet, nobody was willing to offend Rong Yitie for the sake of helping a father and son who had no connections and had been exiled by the Rong family. Even though they had the right to come out and stop Rong Yitie, all of them chose to remain silent.

No one present would have imagined that Rong Kaixuan would snap at this moment.

Most people were dumbfounded by what was happening and didn't know what to do when they saw the Spirit Body appear out of nowhere. Those cultivators who knew about Spirit Bodies were completely stunned.

This was a Spirit Body. A Spirit Body was a body that allegedly possessed the same capabilities as a cultivator.

"Help me kill them."

Rong Kaixuan's eyes were bloodshot. His father's injuries had made his emotions take over his consciousness. He now hated Rong Yitie and his son to the core.

After receiving instruction from its master, the Spirit Body took a step forward and started throwing punches toward Rong Yitie.

Rong Yitie instantly started to grow fearful. He looked at the Spirit Body and the young man, whose mouth was still bloodied, with disbelief. He knew that he had gotten himself into some big trouble.

No matter what, he wasn't going to stay put and be attacked like that.

He took a few steps back and started throwing hard punches out. All the true Qi flowing through his body gushed out with his punches.

There was a huge blast. The people watching were surprised to find that the Spirit Body that Rong Kaixuan evoked was no match for Rong Yitie. He had sent it flying out.

"Elementary Stage Spirit Body Fighter." Rong Yitie breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't need to fear an Elementary Stage Spirit Body Fighter.

Just as he thought that, the Spirit Body he had sent flying started to attack him again.

"Tsk." Rong Yitie angrily snorted. He started throwing punches and forced the Spirit Body to move back.

After doing that more than 10 times, his expression slowly changed a little.

He quickly realized that even though the Spirit Body had to back off more than 10 times, it continued to attack him without fear. It was as if it wasn't going to stop trying until it killed off the father and son.

The even more shocking part was that after he had blasted it more than 10 times with true Qi, the Spirit Body's strength didn't seem to go down. Instead, it seemed to only become more powerful and aggressive.

This Spirit Body was different from other ordinary Spirit Bodies.

While fighting its enemy, it was able to continue attracting the Spirit Power from the external world around it so that its body could continue to remain at its peak level.

Rong Yitie was an Advanced Stage fighter, but the Spirit Body he was up against wasn't an ordinary Spirit Body Fighter.

This super-strong Spirit Body Fighter was one that Rong Kaixuan had used the remaining two-thirds of the energy in between his eyebrows to create. Even though it was only an Elementary Stage fighter, its battling ability was at the peak of this phase. Also, it was able to recover its lost strength quickly. When it started its attack again, it went back to its original strength level no matter how much strength it lost earlier.

Pak!

Rong Yitie let out another punch and forced the Spirit Body to move back. There was already a thin layer of sweat forming on his forehead.

He suddenly remembered something.

Spirit Body Fighters had a nickname—they were cockroaches that refused to die. One needed to be powerful enough to destroy the Spirit Body in one shot. Otherwise, one would continue to be pestered by the Spirit Body, which was a terrible headache for cultivators.

These Spirit Bodies didn't care for their lives every time they fought, so they just went all out whenever they attacked. But Rong Yitie was a human, so he didn't want to die battling this Spirit Body.

"Young man, hurry up and reign your Spirit Body in! Otherwise, I'm going to get nasty," Rong Yitie roared with all his might.

Rong Kaixuan coldly looked at him. His eyes were filled with hatred. He disliked Rong Yitie's words.

"Fine." Rong Yitie became determined as he said, "Kaixin, take them down."

Rong Kaixin was already terribly shocked by everything that happened. After he heard his father's instructions, he snapped out of his daze. He went one big round to avoid the Spirit Body before running toward Rong Kaixuan.

Rong Kaixuan was immediately shocked. He used his will and instructed the Spirit Body to block Rong Kaixin. But Rong Yitie was an Advanced Stage fighter, so he took a step forward and immediately blocked the Spirit Body's way.

This Spirit Body was only at Elementary Stage. Even though it was hard to kill and refused to collapse or back off, it wasn't able to get through once Rong Yitie blocked it.

In the crowd, that beautiful girl looked at Rong Kaixuan in great surprise. She quietly said, "So, he's a Spirit Gatherer. No wonder you were so interested in him."

Rong Jiexuan had a little smile on his face as he replied, "Xiao'er, you know something? He only found out about his gifting of a spiritualist today."

"What?" There was a look of disbelief on the beautiful girl's face. "He only found out today?"

"That's right."

"But…" The girl hesitated for a moment before asking, "Grandpa Xuan, how long has he been training his Spirit Power?"

"As far as I know, he absorbed Spirit Power for the first time today."

"He's absorbed Spirit Power for the first time and he can already evoke Spirit Bodies?" The girl's face was filled with disbelief. Her huge eyes seemed to have only two words written inside them.

You're lying.

Rong Jiexuan laughed and said, "Why would I lie to you? If that wasn't the case, why would I put aside my relaxing life and come all the way out here to observe his character?"

The beautiful girl now started to believe him. When she turned to look at Rong Kaixuan, her gaze was different from before.

Rong Kaixin was now making his way toward Rong Kaixuan and his father with a threatening smile on his face. She frowned slightly and said, "Grandpa Xuan, if you're still not going to interfere, I am."

Rong Jiexuan smiled faintly and said, "It's about time. Tsk, these two fellows are so embarrassing, so they should be taught a good lesson."

The beautiful girl nodded in agreement. Just as she took a step out and ready to interfere, something else happened.

****

When he saw Rong Kaixin come running toward them, Rong Yiyang became anxious as he laid in his son's arms.

Now that he was no longer angry, he started to regret what he had done. If he had known things would turn out this way, perhaps everything wouldn't become like this if he had just given in.

He pushed his son gently and quietly said, "Kaixuan, you'd better run."

Rong Kaixuan was stunned for a while before he excitedly asked, "Father, are you feeling better?"

Rong Yiyang angrily replied, "Put me down. Run and look for Uncle Ming and Yide to help us settle this issue."

Rong Kaixuan pulled a long face and stubbornly said, "But Father, we didn't do anything wrong."

Rong Yiyang was angry. He wanted to shout at his son, but he couldn't catch his breath in time. He started violently coughing instead.

"Heh heh, it's too late to leave now."

Rong Kaixin had reached them and already analyzed the situation. This young punk had unexpectedly turned out to be a spiritualist. Given his age, evoking a Spirit Body would have taken all the energy out of him. Now that both the father and son were injured, he could take them down and win this confrontation.

As for how to handle the effects of this confrontation, that wasn't a problem that he had to think about.

Rong Kaixin reached a hand out and was about to grab Rong Kaixuan.

At that moment, he clearly saw Rong Kaixuan's lips curl upward. There was no sign of fear on his face. Instead, he looked like he was mocking Rong Kaixin.

He was shocked, especially as he watched Rong Kaixuan raise one hand.

At the tip of his finger was a small sparkle. It instantly swelled up to become a giant ball of light.

The ball of light flew toward him as if it had wings.

Rong Kaixin wasn't just any inner disciple. His older brother was one of the best Spirit Spellcasters of his generation, so he knew very well what spells could do.

When he saw the ball of light coming for him, Rong Kaixin yelped and started moving backward as if there was a spring inside him.

While he managed to move quite quickly, there was no way he could move faster than the ball of light.

In just a moment, the ball of light caught up with him.

Boom!

His body was sent flying by a huge amount of force. He crashed hard into one of the stalls.

This stall's owner happened to be that middle-aged man who went back on his word. He was upset by what happened. His heart was bleeding, but he didn't dare complain at all.

Rong Kaixin crashed to the ground. His shirt had been torn, and his skin was burned. His eyes were tightly shut. He had lost consciousness.

Rong Kaixuan coldly laughed in his heart. There was nothing left inside the round little ball, but he still had some Spirit Power left inside the area between his eyebrows. After this Spirit Power outside the round ball had been processed by the round ball so many times, it was able to attract a massive amount of Spirit Power of the sky and earth.

Even a powerful Spiritual Mentor like Rong Yiyao couldn't hold up against that round ball, never mind this poor Middle Stage Martial Artist.

"Xin'er…"

Rong Yitie's eyes nearly fell out of their socket. He started fighting the Spirit Body with all his might, hoping to make the Spirit Body back off. The Spirit Body had no fear and didn't care that Rong Yitie was punching it with all the true Qi he had. It endured the punches from Rong Yitie and came close enough to punch Rong Yitie.

Rong Yitie felt the taste of blood in his mouth and finally sprayed a mouthful of blood out.

He was frustrated with himself. Why was he in such a hurry to attack and had attempted to fight a Spirit Body to the bitter end? Was he tired of living?

When he moved back, he suddenly saw a bright light from the corner of his eye.

A huge force hit his back. He stumbled forward. Before he could properly stand, the Spirit Body started punching him repeatedly like raindrops falling.

Rong Yitie continued to spit blood. He was unable to take it anymore. His legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the ground.

A loud roar suddenly filled the air.

"Who is the one who dares to make trouble in the Rong house? Move aside…"
