Chapter 240 - 106: Snowflake Ice-Seal, Awakening Star Gold

"Huh? Where’s the castle? How did it end up like this!" Liu Mei stared at the castle in the distance, which had been reduced to a pile of rubble, her face a mask of astonishment.

Chen Yu said, "The situation changed. There was a terrifying monster in the castle, and it controlled your mind, leaving you confused. I killed the monster, and the castle was destroyed in the process."

Chen Yu looked at Liu Mei, spouting nonsense with a perfectly straight face.

Of course, it wasn’t all nonsense.

In truth, Liu Mei had indeed been controlled. It just wasn’t by some terrifying monster, but by the Soul Pearl!

"So, my dream about being beaten up wasn’t a dream? You really hit me?" Liu Mei stared at Chen Yu, asking in a daze.

Chen Yu: "..."

"It was an emergency. It was the only thing I could do," Chen Yu replied.

"Thank you!" Liu Mei said, looking at him.

Chen Yu: "?"

"I don’t know exactly what happened, but I trust you," Liu Mei said, looking at him with a serious expression.

’This woman... It wasn’t a waste saving her!’

Hearing her words, Chen Yu felt a wave of relief.

"You should recover first. You’ve used up a lot of energy," Chen Yu said.

Liu Mei nodded, closed her eyes, and began to cultivate, circulating the Celestial Destiny Skill.

Chen Yu also used the Celestial Destiny Skill to restore his Qi.

...

"Should we keep going?" Liu Mei asked, looking at Chen Yu after she had recovered.

Chen Yu scanned their surroundings. Thinking back on what had happened in the castle, he felt this Abyss World was incredibly strange.

’Could that so-called Great Emperor be imprisoned somewhere in this world?’

"Let’s leave for now. That’s about enough for today. It’s not good to stay in the Abyss for too long," Chen Yu said.

Liu Mei had already used her instant recovery ability. If they ran into another unexpected situation, it would be a huge problem.

The day’s events had left him mentally exhausted; he really needed to get some rest.

Liu Mei nodded, and a moment later, the two of them vanished.

—

On Ninth Abyss Island in the South Sea, Chen Yu and Liu Mei’s figures emerged one after the other from the Space-Time Gate.

"Chen Yu, are you coming back again?" Liu Mei asked, looking at him.

Chen Yu looked out at the deep blue sea, then glanced back at the Space-Time Gate behind him.

"Yeah, I’ll probably keep coming. I’ll be back tomorrow to take another look."

"How about we go together tomorrow, then?" Liu Mei looked at him.

"No problem," Chen Yu nodded.

"Then it’s settled. I’ll contact you tomorrow," Liu Mei said with a small smile.

Chen Yu nodded, and a moment later, both of their figures vanished from the island.

...

Returning to his villa and sitting on the living room sofa, Chen Yu opened the Starry Sky Network.

He logged into the Starry Sky Network and searched for information about the "Soul Pearl."

But after a thorough search, he found no information matching his situation on the Starry Sky Network.

Chen Yu then logged out of the Starry Sky Network and logged into the Extraordinary Alliance’s internal network to continue his search.

’Nothing...’

Chen Yu frowned as he looked at the search results.

Even the Extraordinary Alliance’s internal network had no information about the Soul Pearl.

Chen Yu closed the virtual screen and took out the papers he had found in the castle, studying their contents carefully once more.

’If I go deeper tomorrow, I might find something...’

Chen Yu thought for a moment, then put the papers away.

BUZZ—!

Just then, a vibration came from his wrist.

Chen Yu looked at the metal bracelet on his wrist.

’The Evolution is complete?’

Chen Yu looked at the vibrating metal bracelet and could feel a slight burning sensation.

As he watched, the metal bracelet on his wrist automatically fell off.

A ray of light rose from the metal bracelet.

BUZZ—!

A high-frequency vibration pulsed, and the metal bracelet flowed like liquid.

A moment later, a brilliant light bloomed, and a figure appeared before his eyes.

She wore a form-fitting, silver uniform, and her beautiful hair flowed freely.

Sophie stood before him.

"Master!" Sophie bowed respectfully toward Chen Yu.

"The Evolution is complete?" Chen Yu asked, snapping out of his daze as he looked at Sophie.

Sophie nodded. "Yes, Master. Sophie has completed her Evolution, and my systems have been upgraded."

"So, what new abilities do you have?"

Chen Yu looked at Sophie curiously.

Sophie: "Master, my Evolution has added a weapon form function."

"A weapon form function?"

Chen Yu was startled.

Sophie: "The weapon form function allows me to transform into various types of weapons. After the upgrade, these weapons can reach the Extraordinary Level, capable of unleashing immense power."

"Multi-form weapons?"

"Can you turn into a nuke?" Chen Yu blinked.

Sophie: "...My apologies, Master. The weapon forms I can assume are limited to conventional melee weapons. I cannot transform into firearms or other thermal weapons."

"Forms like swords, sabers, and axes."

"...Oh, I see." Chen Yu was a little disappointed.

"Master, conventional Extraordinary Weapon forms are more powerful than thermal weapons," Sophie said.

"Extraordinary Weapon, huh? How extraordinary?" Chen Yu looked at her.

"It depends on your strength, Master. The stronger you are, the more powerful the weapon will be. It can channel your energy attacks, unleashing at least ten times the power!"

"Holy shit, that’s amazing!"

Hearing this, Chen Yu’s full attention was instantly piqued.

Unleashing at least ten times the power!

’Doesn’t that make this Extraordinary Weapon just like a Magical Artifact from a cultivation novel?!’

"Quick, turn into one and let me see!"

Chen Yu looked at Sophie with a face full of anticipation.

The words had just left his mouth when Sophie instantly transformed, changing into a long silver saber.

It was just like her previous transformations, only now, a faint light flowed along the blade, and it emanated a sharp, cutting aura.

Chen Yu gripped the hilt, his Qi flaring.

SWOOSH—!

A ferocious blade aura erupted, instantly distorting the very air around it.
