YM778.TV Chapter 273 - Answers Part 2
The power of the Air Palm Strike was shocking and Adam\'s back slammed into a thick tree, but before the impact, he activated both his defence techniques to increase his resistance.
"That is a nice attack. Can you teach me it?" asked Adam as he launched himself off from the tree and clashed with his master in midair.
"Sure, you are now my disciple and I will try to teach you as much as I can before I can no longer teach you" answered his master who grabbed his arm and flung him down onto the ground.
"Your power hasn\'t increased by much, but your combat prowess has and you have also gained a new ability," said his master as he charged downwards and landed on top of Adam.
"So you knew I was holding back before?" asked Adam.
"Yes, it was clear to me that you were holding back in our previous spars, but it seems that both of us are trusting each other more" affirmed his master.
The old man went to strike Adam, who lay in the crater that was formed by his crash landing, but Adam suddenly disappeared and appeared a few metres away from him.
"What do you know about Evil Souls?" asked Adam who was using the trees and his nimbleness to his advantage as he dashed around and attempted to strike his master.
"I honestly cannot tell you much about it. I have heard of Evil Souls and you can think of it as a soul of someone who has cultivated an Evil Cultivation Method. It allows one to cultivate their soul separately from the body and allows them to inhabit other peoples\' bodies. However, souls are a very profound and complicated concept that even I as a cultivator am yet to experience or know much about" answered his master.
"I also think that your aunt\'s situation is different. An Evil Soul usually wouldn\'t inhabit a weak and useless body, which your aunt seems to have, and from what you have told me, the Evil Soul has been waiting in your aunt\'s body for a chance to take over for months. This situation is something different and I think even that Evil Cultivation Organisation that you speak of has nothing to do with it as they are not capable of such a thing" he continued.
"I thought so, but I couldn\'t confirm. So if she wasn\'t targetted to get to me, what do you think the reason is for the Evil Soul to want my aunt\'s body?" asked Adam as he dashed back into the dojo and grabbed two daggers from the wall.
Using the Step Skip Dagger Jolt Combo Adam appeared in front of his master and went to slash his neck without holding back, however his master was able to narrowly dodge the attack and kicked Adam away.
"That was close, are you really trying to kill me? You do know that I am in a very weak state and my focus is also split with the arrays, so I can only display the power of an ordinary Advanced Cultivator" exclaimed his master.
"I went in for the kill, but that wasn\'t my intention. If you couldn\'t dodge it, then you are too slow" answered Adam as he laughed and began to feel the exhilarating adrenaline rush of battle.
"Alright then, get ready," said his master before returning into the dojo and equipping himself with a bow and arrows.
Coating them in Internal Energy, increasing the power, speed and sharpness of the arrows, the old man began to wildly fire arrows towards Adam, who was barely managing to avoid them using the trees around him.
"Ah! Answer my question" wailed Adam as an arrow pierced deep into his shoulder.
"Heh, it just means that you are too slow" scoffed his master, using the same thing back to Adam.
If it wasn\'t for the defensive techniques, the arrow would have done much more damage and would have easily pierced through the entire body of an ordinary Novice Cultivator.
"About your aunt\'s situation. I think the most probable answer is that she was born with that Evil Soul within her or the Evil Soul was bound to her body somehow, but if it was a normal Evil Soul and situation, it would have already left her body and looked for a more suitable body. I sensed the power of the Evil Soul and it was something that I have never seen. It is definitely the soul of a powerful and profound evil cultivator, but yet your aunt is the more dominant soul in this position, which is due to her willpower and because it was her body in the first place" stated his master.
"There shouldn\'t be anyone that can physically harm your aunt with that Evil Soul awakened within her, but your aunt\'s mind, body and soul will be affected by everything that the Evil Soul does with her body and you should be prepared for those changes. I don\'t have the answers when it comes to your aunt, but all I can say is that you need to subdue her before she becomes too powerful or does something that cannot be reversed" he continued.
Adam had a much better understanding of what might be going on with his aunt, but it still wasn\'t clear what the situation was and the best thing he could do was stay calm and use everything he was feeling as a drive to propel his power forwards.
Being hit by a few other arrows, Adam losing quite a lot of blood and was in quite a bit of pain, but was enjoying every second of their battle and wanted to continue and receive more answers to his questions.
"And that Evil Cultivation Organisation that you seem to know of, what exactly is it and what are they after?" asked Adam.
It was clear that his master knew about it and was also nervous to go against them, but since they had agreed to be more transparent, the old man decided to tell Adam most of what he knew.
