Chapter 351: Battle in the Spiritual Sea

Zexi closed his eyes and concentrated. Suddenly, spiritual energy released from him and started entering Alex's head.

Pain was all that Alex could feel. It was as if someone had cut open his skull, taken out his brain, and put it on a blender at the highest setting.

"ARRRGHHHHHH," he screamed as loud as he could. He was both losing consciousness and getting awoken from it at the same time.

"Sh*t, why the hell does this kid have so much spiritual energy. This is nothing like back when I used this on that guy from the auction hall," Zexi thought.

It was not only Alex who felt pain, Zexi did too, although on a far minor scale. Penetrating another person's spiritual sea was not an easy task for him.

Zexi had a True Lord cultivation realm, as well as a Spirit Cleansing Lily's worth of Spiritual sea, so he had high-quality spiritual sense, but in low amount.

On the other hand, Alex's spiritual sense wasn't worth much due to his low quality, but he had 3 times as much as Zexi's in terms of amount.

So, Zexi trying to enter Alex's Spiritual sea was basically a battle between Quality vs Quantity.

Alex kept screaming as the pain was far beyond anything he had felt yet. The first day of body cultivation was nothing compared to having someone tear open your head and try to take a look inside of it.

After many minutes of fighting, Zexi finally managed to enter Alex's head. His body then slumped onto the ground and both he and Alex were as silent as 2 dead men.

Inside Alex's spiritual sea, Zexi flew in the sky above the, more than half-dried, spiritual sea. He looked around and couldn't help but nod in approval.

Huff Huff

"This is… not all that…. bad at all. Huff, the kid… must've… used all 3… Spirit Cleansing Lilies already?" he asked while continuously catching his breath. Getting in here was not an easy deal for him as well.

"Now, where is that kid?" he said and started searching down below him.

Alex looked around and started fearing a little.

The man was now inside his Spiritual sea, but why? He had said he would get the answers on his own, but that didn't make any sense to Alex.

In the first place, how did he even enter his spiritual sea? Was that a skill, or just something people could do with their spiritual sense?

Spiritual sense, and especially, Spiritual sea was a topic he didn't know a lot about.

'could the man maybe be weak now? like all the other beasts that enter my spiritual sea?' Alex wondered. He didn't have many attacks in his arsenal, but he decided to use them anyway.

He immediately threw an Iron Fist punch towards Zexi. Surprisingly, it accurately hit on the back.

"Arghh," Zexi cried and turned back. "What the hell? Why the hell … are you flying there?"

the last time he had entered another person's mind, he had found the person unconscious on the dried-up sea.

Zexi seemed genuinely confused when he saw Alex up in the sky. "Could it be? People… who have spiritual sense… can stay awake inside their own spiritual sea?" Zexi seemed to understand what was happening.

"Since the last guy I tried this on didn't have a properly formed spiritual sea, he could only stay on the ground I guess," Zexi said.

Alex didn't bother saying anything to him. He had always been in the sky every time he had to fight a beast here. So it was likely that Zexi's assumption of requiring a fully formed spiritual sea to be awake inside your own spiritual sea was correct.

Alex wasted no more time and started spamming out attacks after attacks. He didn't have many attacks he could do. The only ones he knew were the Iron Fist punch and palm of the sun. Every other one either required a sword or wasn't attack-focused.

Zexi frowned. He had spent a lot of spiritual energy just to get here and didn't want to waste anymore. He still needed some to read Alex's memories and then some to leave this place.

He still sent out attacks of his own to stop the incoming attacks. He looked at the attacks he was blocking and frowned a little.

'Why does this kid's attack have elemental affinity in them? We are inside his damn spiritual sea. He shouldn't be able to use any energy,' Zexi thought.

"Just stop it, kid… Huff… do you really… want to dry your sea... until nothing is left? Do you know… how dangerous that is?" Zexi tried to stop Alex's recklessness.

Alex didn't say anything but kept on attacking.

"Look at your sea kid… you are not using Qi… you are using the sea to power your energy… are you going to be so reckless?" he said.

"What?" Alex finally stopped. He looked down at the turbulent sea and realized that it really had sunk down quite a bit. Until now,? he had assumed that attacking inside the spiritual sea used Qi, like the outside, but now he had realized that that was not the case.

However, he also knew that he couldn't afford to stop right now. If this was a fight of Spiritual senses and seas, then he was going to fight as long as a single drop of the sea was left.

He sent on more barrages of his attacks. Zexi was starting to get scared as well. 'Sh*t, I can't let that happen. If he depletes my spiritual sea completely, I really might just die here,' he thought. His spiritual sense was down to less than 10% of the original amount and that was dangerously low for where he was right now.

He started using dodging maneuvers rather than straight-up trying to fight the incoming attacks. He kept tabs on Alex's spiritual sea and watched it slowly drain away.

Finally, when there was almost nothing, he attacked. Alex tried to send out another attack but nothing left his arms. It was then he realized, his spiritual sea had all but completely dried up and his life was now in the hands of the person before him.
