The Seventh Base Chapter 416

Chapter 416: Chapter 55: The Abilities of the Qiong Master

The castle, when Xu Mo arrived there, Zero was waiting for him at the entrance.

Xu Mo was somewhat moved to see that quiet figure, she must have known that he was somewhat unaccustomed to being here.

He walked over and asked Zero, “Did your mother agree to my visit?”

“Yes,” Zero nodded.

Xu Mo's eyes shifted, he had met Zero's mother twice before, she was not an easy person to get along with, giving off a very strict vibe, and she was against Zero dating, only suggesting they remain friends.

And yet, she agreed to his visit this time?

Zero led Xu Mo into the castle and to the dining room within, where lunch had already been prepared.

Zero's mother was seated at the head of the table, with Qiong standing by her side, while two maids busily prepared the tableware before stepping back to stand aside.

“Come here,” Zero's mother said.

Zero glanced at Xu Mo, then walked forward with him, arriving at the dining table and exclaimed, “Hello, Auntie.”

Zero's mother looked at Xu Mo and said, “Sit.”

“Thank you, Auntie,” Xu Mo took his seat, feeling quite uncomfortable all over.

It was very awkward!

Born with a love for freedom, he was not accustomed to this feeling of restraint.

Zero sat next to Xu Mo, and the four of them sat at the table, very much resembling a scene where parents were being met.

“How is your progress in the Divine Sword Bureau?” Zero's mother asked Xu Mo, sounding like casual conversation, but however Xu Mo listened, it did not feel like her style.

“My Source Power Level has reached B+ level, and I have also made some progress in other areas,” Xu Mo responded.

“The duel is in just a few days. This time your opponent is Amanda from Lancelot Star, it might be quite dangerous, are you confident?” continued Zero's mother.

“No,” Xu Mo shook his head.

“And yet you dared to request a duel,” Zero's mother glanced at him, and Xu Mo did not know how to respond. Indeed, it was somewhat impulsive, but no one could be absolutely rational.

If he had absolute confidence, why would Amanda accept his duel request?

The people of Lancelot Star are not fools; precisely because Amanda also believes she has an absolute advantage, she agreed to the duel request.

A duel is an act involving both parties, not a unilateral decision.

Zero looked towards her mother.

Her mother also noticed her gaze and sighed inwardly, then continued, “Zero requested that Qiong help you, so you will cultivate here for a few days.”

“Thank you, Auntie,” Xu Mo said.

“You and Zero are now teammates in the Divine Sword Bureau, and it is right to look out for each other,” Zero's mother replied, skillfully defining their relationship as teammates, which really was not a problem.

“Thank you for your troubles, Master Qiong,” Xu Mo expressed his gratitude to Qiong.

Qiong nodded, saying nothing further.

Xu Mo noticed that Zero's personality might be somewhat similar to that of her teacher, not one for many words.

This meal Xu Mo ate was exceptionally awkward, mostly filled with the sound of eating.

“What is your opinion on alien races?” suddenly, Zero's mother asked again.

“I don't have any particular opinion,” Xu Mo responded, “They can be enemies, but also friends.”

“What about in the future, do you have any plans?” Zero's mother continued asking.

Checking his background?

But unlike previous inquiries about assets, Zero's mother was asking about future intentions.

“Exploring the stars,” Xu Mo said, “I want to see different planets.”

“Yes,” Zero's mother nodded, not continuing further.

The four of them ate quietly.

Xu Mo wondered if this was the kind of life he was to live for the next few days?

However, if Master Qiong could improve his strength, it might not be unbearable!

After all, survival was of utmost importance.

After eating, Xu Mo was led to a sealed Cultivation Room.

Zero escorted him there, saying, “Master Qiong will be instructing your cultivation here, don't be afraid.”

Xu Mo looked at Zero, feeling like she was comforting a child.

Not be afraid?

“Alright,” Xu Mo still nodded.

“I'll leave first,” Zero said, then left the area, while Qiong walked in.

As the door of the Cultivation Room closed, Xu Mo indeed started to feel a bit nervous.

Facing this old witch again?

Wondering how she would torment him this time.

“Ti…” Qiong started speaking, and the next moment, Xu Mo's head trembled, feeling an attack on his spiritual power, and instantly his head buzzed.

The old witch spoke not a word, but directly used a spell again.

Xu Mo began to resist.

But one voice after another invaded his mind, directly penetrating, and in this sealed space, there were echoes of spells too, making Xu Mo feel as if his head were about to explode from the severe pain.

He thought that one day he must have his revenge.

With each attack, Xu Mo's body soon floated in the air, his mind entered a state of chaos, his consciousness blurry, not so clear, and this sensation was very unpleasant, but the old witch did not give him a choice, acting directly.

“Focus on your consciousness, not only can you perceive energy, but you can also sense much more,” the old witch's voice entered Xu Mo's ears at that moment, and after the stabbing pain, Xu Mo found his spiritual power was in a free state, wandering everywhere, unfocused.

He had always been able to feel the presence of Source Power, directly absorbing it through his head, hence his perception became stronger and he gained the ability to see through objects.

Master Qiong was now telling him that he could perceive even more.

Xu Mo tried to sense everything outside, he saw Master Qiong standing there, like a witch god, he also perceived his current state, felt the flow of Source Power within his body, as if peering into his own body.

Qiong, what did she want to perceive for herself?

“Boom…” Just then, Xu Mo only felt his heart violently twitch, his head felt like it was about to explode, and he perceived that Qiong had appeared in his mind. She appeared like a deity, directly in his mind, even occupying it.

It seemed, at that moment, he couldn't refuse anything Qiong asked of him.

This was an invasion, a complete invasion.

Xu Mo finally understood why Qiong could control S-level monsters. She could probably control any monster below her strength directly. This ability was too terrifying.

Perhaps, not only monsters, even humans could be controlled by her.

What Zero demonstrated was just the tip of the iceberg of her racial talent; it was only because Zero's level wasn't strong enough yet, so she couldn't display much strength, only managing to exert a weak influence, merely relying on spells to manipulate his actions.

As Qiong continued to speak, a series of spells continuously exploded in his mind, Xu Mo continued to endure the pain, but he did not resist too much, as he clearly understood that Qiong's ability could enhance his spiritual power, an opportunity not everyone could have.

After a while, like before, Xu Mo passed out again.

After he fainted, Qiong glanced at him, the spiritual power on her body disappeared, and she turned and left the Cultivation Room. Soon after, Zero came and stayed by his side.

Qiong went to the courtyard where Zero's mother was also present. She stood there looking up at the sky, her silhouette somewhat lonely.

Qiong quietly stood by her side, also looking up at the sky.

“How is it?” Zero's mother asked.

“He passed out,” Qiong replied, “His spiritual power is very strong, much stronger than last time, and has great potential.”

Zero's mother nodded. “Then help him.”

The reason Zero's mother allowed Xu Mo into their home was not solely because of Zero.

If Xu Mo's talent had been mediocre, perhaps he wouldn't even have had the chance to step through the castle gate.

Everything in this world is measured by value.

Xu Mo, he has value.

So Zero's mother intends to help him, to aid his growth.

When Xu Mo awoke again, he saw Zero beside him and said, “Did I faint again?”

“Yes,” Zero nodded.

“Where's Qiong?” Xu Mo asked.

“She went out. For the next few days, Qiong will help stimulate your spiritual power to prepare for your duel in a few days,” Zero replied.

“Okay,” Xu Mo looked at Zero and asked, “Can the activation of spells be done multiple times? Have you ever activated a spell?”

“I've experienced it once,” Zero said, “the activation of spells is a way to stimulate spiritual power. Although it can be done multiple times, it isn't suitable for continuous use because its effect weakens afterwards. Qiong said to wait until I am stronger.”

“I understand,” Xu Mo nodded, leaving the opportunity for later could indeed be more beneficial.

But his situation was different, facing a duel this time.

Therefore, Zero could only ask Qiong to help stimulate his growth to increase the probability of winning.

“I'm going to the Cultivation Tower to cultivate for a while,” Xu Mo said.

“Okay,” Zero nodded.

These next few days were an opportunity for Xu Mo, one he needed to seize firmly.

After cultivating in the Cultivation Tower, it was already evening.

After dinner, this time Qiong didn't take Xu Mo to the Cultivation Room but stayed outside the castle.

“How do you feel?” Qiong asked Xu Mo.

Xu Mo released his spiritual power and said, “My perception has strengthened, everything in the external world has become clearer, and the distance has increased too.”

“What is spiritual power?” Qiong looked at Xu Mo and asked.

Xu Mo was startled.

What is spiritual power?

“Our race sees spiritual power as a sacred energy, superior to Source Power, capable of endowing everything with purpose,” Qiong explained.

Xu Mo was stunned. Spiritual power, was it also a form of energy?

Spiritual power could control Source Power, and telekinesis; from this perspective, spiritual power indeed was a form of energy.

“We possess a talent for invading others' minds with spiritual power. High-level cultivators can even explore others' thoughts, control all their secrets, and the strongest can uncover the secrets of everything in the world,” Qiong continued to explain.

Xu Mo was somewhat alarmed. He could naturally guess that Qiong and Zero were from another planet, and certainly, their race was very strong, their main talent being spiritual power.

In their race, spiritual power was a sacred force.

Capable of controlling others, probing thoughts, and even unveiling the secrets of the world.

How powerful was that?

“Although you are not one of our race, you also cultivate spiritual power. Over the next few days, by activating spells, I will help you master the application of spiritual attacks, allowing you to carry out direct attacks on others without relying on external objects,” Qiong continued.

Xu Mo nodded and said, “Okay.”

If he could master this ability, it would undoubtedly be a huge advancement for him.

However, he wondered whether he could possess their racial talent to probe others' thoughts.

“Let's begin,” Qiong said.

“Okay,” Xu Mo nodded in response.

He suddenly found Qiong much more likeable–beautiful and kind-hearted, truly a good person.

“While I activate the spell on you, try to perceive everything,” Qiong said. As the words fell, a spell directly stimulated Xu Mo's head, his head buzzing instantly.

He suddenly had a thought–hopefully the old witch isn't probing his thoughts, right?

“Buzz…”

A more fierce attack fell, Xu Mo's mind became confused, and he began to concentrate on cultivating.

Xu Mo cultivated in the castle for six days, aside from Qiong helping him develop his spiritual power, he also cultivated in the Cultivation Tower. These days of cultivation also further enhanced Xu Mo's strength.

The strength of spiritual power directly determined his combat power, and in fact, he was very reliant on it.

As time passed, the day of the duel between Xu Mo and Amanda finally arrived!
