“So what should I do?” Fang Yu thought as she tried to think of a way to resolve her situation.
“Ugh. It seems like I need to capture a soul fighter first.” Fang Yu realized that the best way for her to create a soul avatar without a soul stone was to just ‘ask’ a soul fighter.
As for how she will do the questioning, that will be already up to her.
“Okay, so I need to make a soul fighter go to my room… Wait, maybe Ricardo is a soul fighter! Well, the only way to know that is to make Ricardo enter this room.” Fang Yu’s eyes glowed as she devised a way to make Ricardo go to her room.
“Now I just have to wait…..” Fang Yu grinned as the pupil of her eyes became cat-like.
After a minute of waiting, she saw Ricardo passing by her room. Maybe he was about to check-up on her.
The door of the room opened, and Ricardo’s head peaked behind it. “Fang Hao, I need to-mff!”
Once Fang Yu saw that Ricardo entered the room, she used a hypnosis technique that Wang Hao taught to her before. Fang Yu of course did not ask on how Wang Hao learned this technique.
To Fang Yu’s delight, she found Ricardo trying to resist the hypnosis. This indicated that he had a strong soul.
“Gida!” Ricardo shouted as his soul avatar appeared behind him.
Fang Yu saw a young goat glaring at her. It pawed the air below it as it started to charge towards Fang Yu.
“Pipe down!” Fang Yu said as she tried to use her Glastaig form. To her surprise, she saw Gida being highly affected by her form.
Gida paused, as it looked at Fang Yu with uncertainty. It was as if Fang Yu was not an opponent to its eyes at all.
It was as if they were the same…..
Fang Yu then recalled on how the power of the Glastaig works. Her eyes widened as she realized on how the soul avatars were made.
Now, she only needed to talk to Ricardo to confirm her suspicions.
Because Gida paused, Fang Yu was able to successfully hypnotize Ricardo. Gida watched in the background as Fang Yu interviewed Ricardo.
After an hour of talking, Fang Yu heaved a sigh of relief as she confirmed her suspicions.
“So that was how it was done huh.”
Fang Yu realized that the soul avatars were actually ghosts!
Of course this made Fang Yu uncertain, since ghosts usually came from the souls of the people who died. There is no way that a ghost can be the soul avatar of someone alive right?
But with her talk with Ricardo, Fang Yu realized that it was not the case here.
The soul stone’s main function was to turn the soul of a soul fighter into a ghost. Once the soul became a ghost, the soul stone will tether this ghost to the soul fighter, ensuring that they will not die. This was the so-called ‘soul mutation’ process.
Those who die on this process were those unable to tether their ghost souls into their body.
As for the special abilities of the soul avatar, it comes from the soul fighter where the ghost was tethered to.
This happens because of the link between the ghost and the soul fighter.
After all, a ghost was usually not linked to anything because it came from a dead person.
But when the ghost was linked to a soul fighter, the link produces some unique effects such as the special abilities.
Using additional soul stones will serve as a nourishment for the ghost and will further tighten the link between the ghost and the soul fighter.
From the looks of it, Fang Yu can already guess what the peak stage a soul fighter can reach.
It was when the ghost and its soul fighter was so tightly linked together that the soul fighter himself was already his ghost!
“This so cool…” Fang Yu thought to herself as she dispelled her hypnosis.
Ricardo shook his head as the effects of the hypnosis wore off. His memory was blurry, making him forget on how he was assaulted by Fang Yu in the first place.
“What happened to me? Why am I here?” Ricardo asked as he looked around him in confusion.
“Ah, when you passed in front of my room, you suddenly fainted. I do not know what to do, so I laid you down first.” Fang Yu lied smoothly. Fang Yu was sure that Ricardo will not find something fishy on what happened to him.
Fang Yu made sure there will be no evidence for that. As for Gida, Fang Yu used her Glaistig form to make it promise to not speak.
Gida had no choice but to agree.
“Ah is that so. Sorry for the bother then.” Ricardo stood up as he left the room. “Thank you for the sleep I guess.”
“Wait, he was supposed to say something to me right? Maybe he forgot it, because of my hypnosis.” Fang Yu muttered as Ricardo left.
“Now that I know how a soul avatar was made, it’s time for me to make one!”
With her Glaistig Divine Beast Bloodline, Fang Yu was sure creating a ghost to be her soul avatar will be easy.
“But what type should I make?” Fang Yu thought to herself while resisting the urge to drool.
After all, she wanted to make her soul avatar look cool.
Aside from that, she knew that she will rely on her soul avatar heavily on her trip in the Underground. This was the power that she can use so that she will not be detected by Solomon and his follower. Because of that, her soul avatar must also be powerful for her matches later.
“Aha!” Fang Yu’s eyes lit up as she thought of something.
“Why do I need to worry about making one soul avatar, when I can just have many?” Fang Yu salivated as she realized that Fang Yu herself was already the most powerful soul avatar!
With her power as Glaistig, Fang Yu can just forcefully steal the soul avatar of her opponents, since a soul avatar was a ghost!
“Hehehe…” Fang Yu then began to formulate her devilish plan later.
When she faces off against the champion, Fang Yu will activate her Glaistig Bloodline. But instead of making herself look like a Glaistig, Fang Yu will create a body of the Glastig behind her.
With that kind of set-up, the audience will think that Fang Yu’s soul avatar was the Glaistig!
Of course she will make the Glaistig body behind her appear differently, so that others might not recognize it as the Glaistig.
Fang Yu can make her ‘soul avatar’ look like a Grim Reaper, just to make it look sinister and cool.
Once she did that, Fang Yu will then use the power of the Glaistig over the ghosts to steal the soul avatar of her opponent.
Once the audience sees that, Fang Yu will just say that her soul avatar had the power to steal the soul avatars of other soul fighters.
As for whether her opponent will survive after her soul avatar was stolen, Fang Yu was also not sure.
She will just determine the answer to that later.
“Hehehe…” Fang Yu laughed creepily as she imagined that at the end of her trip here in the Underground, she would have an army of powerful soul avatars under her possession!
“This is the best! I got more than what I bargained for!”
Aside from winning her match later, one more reason that Fang Yu decided to use the Glaistig as her soul avatar was the fact that it will pique the interest of the five Djinns here, or even Solomon himself.
After all, a soul avatar that can steal other soul avatars was an entirely special soul avatar. Fang Yu was sure that even those indifferent Djinns will be interested.
“Now, I just have to wait.” Fang Yu closed her eyes as she started to relax herself.
After 3 hours of waiting, she heard knocks on her door. Judging from the loud cheers of the crowd that she managed to hear inside her room, Fang Yu already knew it was her turn.
“Are you ready Fang Hao?” Ricardo asked solemnly as he stared at Fang Yu with worry. “Can your soul avatar handle her soul avatar?”
“Of course I can. Why should I worry about her soul avatar?” Fang Yu said smugly.
Upon hearing this, Ricardo paused as he gave Fang Yu an irritated stare. “Did you even read the notes about the soul avatar of your opponent?”
“I did not.” Fang Yu replied quickly.
Why does she even need to read it? With the power of her Glaistig, Fang Yu will just steal the soul avatar of her opponent! Fang Yu has no need to worry about her opponent’s soul avatar!
“Listen Fang Hao!” Ricardo said as he gripped Fang Yu’s shoulders. “Do you know the reason why this woman was the champion of this coliseum?”
“I do not know.” Fang Yu replied calmly. “Is it related to her soul avatar?”
“Of course it is!” Ricardo said with his eyes wide open. He took a deep breath as he said,
“The soul avatar of the champion has the ability to steal the soul avatars of other soul fighters!”
“Oh……”
