I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3019: Chapter 1566: A Life-Size Doll Moving Like an Arm, Even a Chess Master Fears the Unpredictable Player_2

“What’s the matter?” Elder Sang raised an eyebrow and asked.

“No big deal,” Xu Xiaoshou laughed, giving everyone a “don’t worry, all is under control” expression.

Water Ghost, who was holding a big bag of demi-saint person’s position, was about to step forward to speak but was stopped by Elder Sang with a look.

Xu Xiaoshou sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to search within his self-consciousness for any signs of a “handshake” from the body, spirit, and intent aspects.

There were none.

Good…

Hell no!

It had been the same with Jin Ren last time, searching with no trace found, even after severing his own hand.

In the end, it turned out that he could still be possessed by Hallmaster Dao!

Now…

“It’s different.”

Xu Xiaoshou commanded himself to calm down, “This situation is very different…”

First, he had prepared well, cutting off his consciousness before attempting the touch.

When Hallmaster Dao reached out for a handshake, that thread of will had been discarded by him, as ruthlessly removed as he had cast away his second true body countless times before.

Second, Hallmaster Dao simply grabbed hold of that will hand of his, without any further extension.

This was merely a “stop to offense” gesture, albeit presented in the form of a handshake, which was somewhat hair-raising.

Finally, “handshake first, then sever” versus “sever first, then handshake” – these were two entirely different sequences.

“The stupidity committed by Jin Ren, I won’t repeat it.”

“It’s me scaring myself. Just because I can’t find the mark of the Great God Descending Technique, doesn’t mean it’s hidden, but because…”

Xu Xiaoshou straightened up, coldly smiling, “It simply doesn’t exist!”

Confidence, return to me!

On seeing Xu Xiaoshou seated cross-legged on the ground, changing expressions, and finally settling on a sickly cold smile, Sangshui Cenbai and the others looked at each other, bewildered.

“A very normal illness,” Elder Sang commented.

“Really, nothing’s wrong?” Water Ghost asked, not quite reassured, as Xu Xiaoshou’s eyes opened clearly.

“Of course.”

Of course, Xu Xiaoshou wouldn’t tell these folks that he had seen Elder Dao the Flamboyant, and that he’d been scared stiff by a wisp of his godless Body of Consciousness; he casually waved his hand:

“Just encountered a little obstacle.”

“But no big deal, I’ll just read its soul once more.”

Without saying more, Xu Xiaoshou began to use Soul Reading again on the eyes of Gold-Eroding Kui.

…

The white-clothed man with bare feet appeared for the second time.

About three breaths later, he turned around again and his lips slowly curled up.

Those deep, meaningful eyes…

The persistently silent…

“Your mother!”

Xu Xiaoshou stamped his foot in anger.

How embarrassing, but fortunately, no one had seen his awkwardness just now…

But!

What’s going on?

It’s just an empty shell, how did it suddenly react?

Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t figure it out, stroked his chin, pacing back and forth as he observed this terrifying thing, thought for a while, then severed another strand of will, forming another large hand.

“Climb!”

He violently slapped with a big mouth wide open.

Just as he was about to touch Hallmaster Dao, his hand moved again, “snap,” grabbing Xu Xiaoshou’s will hand.

“Sever!”

This time, Xu Xiaoshou immediately shattered all connection with the will hand but didn’t exit Soul Reading.

He clearly saw what followed…

After crushing his will hand, Hallmaster Dao slowly lowered his arm and shook his head, speaking in a gentle tone:

“You can’t~”

“Your sister can’t!”

“Move aside, it’s not you I’m looking for. I’ll give you some face, I’m counting to three—three!”

Xu Xiaoshou shouted angrily.

Hallmaster Dao’s chin moved slightly, smiling at the furiously impotent man across from him, without responding.

Still not moving…

And, that look, that expression, you really deserve a beating!

Absolutely furious, Xu Xiaoshou split off another thread of will, forming a hand, and just as it was about to slap Hallmaster Dao’s face, he switched tactics and went for his groin, giving it a harsh dig.

Sleeveless Egg Scorching Hand!

“Smack!” @@novelbin@@

Hallmaster Dao clamped his knees together, swiftly grabbing the will hand that Xu Xiaoshou had timely discarded, crushing it and then returning to his smiling demeanor:

“You can’t~”

Okay, okay, okay… Xu Xiaoshou was amused by anger, circling around this damned thing.

Hallmaster Dao’s gaze followed, twisting his head all the way around and back again in an endless loop, doing a full 720-degree rotation without moving his body an inch.

“Disgusting thing, climb!”

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly attacked, splitting off nine big hands, striking Hallmaster Dao from all sides.

Smack smack smack smack smack…

Hallmaster Dao’s shoulders, chest, ribs, and other parts followed suit, hands emerging, each catching and crushing, then returning to a contently smiling, calming head shake:

“You can’t~”

Damn it!

Xu Xiaoshou was taken aback; this Hallmaster Dao…

Before, on Abyss Island, he had fought against Hallmaster Dao, whose physique was extraordinary, and Xu Xiaoshou had guessed that he had modified his body into a Divine Puppet.

But that was just a guess.

He had never seen Elder Dao display so many arms at once, and although this was just a consciousness form without the power of autonomous action, Hallmaster Dao…

Seemed to have exposed something!

“This is a wonderful opportunity!”

An idea, rich with imagination, suddenly bubbled up in his mind, and Xu Xiaoshou’s eyes shone:

“The Divine Relics, Elder Dao the Flamboyant doesn’t want to enter at all.”

“But has he set up his Body of Consciousness to be extremely flexible, responding to certain situations?”

“That’s right, this Body of Consciousness is meant to carry his intent. It acts as a vessel that rejects prying eyes from uncovering the secrets of Gold-Eroding Kui when triggered.”
