Chapter 896: Chapter 50: Zhang Xiaohua Doesn’t Want to Move
Zhang Xiaoman finished his conversation with Tang Xueke and was about to return to the Original Realm when suddenly, a flicker of light and shadow appeared before his eyes with a line of information floating in front of him.
“Ding, Soul Absorption Technique succeeded, points increased by 3.”
“Eh, Wandering Spirit?”
He paused for a moment.
He should have enabled the hidden function for points entry; normally, unless he checked himself, the System wouldn’t actively give notifications.
Zhang Xiaoman muttered to himself, his expression slightly changing.
“Uh-oh! It’s Mom’s place!”
He immediately closed the System interface and activated his wireless Teleportation Ability, sensing the location of his mom Pei Lingsu.
Five seconds later, his figure disappeared in place and instantly appeared in the villa located in Qionghua City.
“Mom! What’s going on here…”
Zhang Xiaoman immediately went to Pei Lingsu’s side and asked with concern.
However, his words halted as soon as they left his mouth.
He saw that beside his mom, there were four or five dim, glowing white Light Balls floating in the air, and she was bending over, reaching out to absorb those little balls using the Eye of the Starry Sky mark in her palm.
“Ding, Soul Absorption Technique succeeded, points increased by 2.”
As his mom moved, the System’s prompt sounded again.
Seeing her unharmed, Zhang Xiaoman finally breathed a sigh of relief.
From the beginning, he knew the source of the System prompt must be his mom Pei Lingsu’s side.
As for the System’s point notification suppression function, he normally kept it on.
Given the increasing number of Awakeners now, daily point entries average around ten points.
This could easily distract him when doing other things, hence the need to suppress it.
But, of course, there are always exceptions.
For the two people closest to him, Zhang Xiaoman didn’t set up suppression, so he could know their news immediately.
Therefore, upon receiving the System prompt, he immediately thought of his mom’s place.
At this moment, his mom was fully concentrating on absorbing the few little Light Balls suspended in mid-air; suddenly hearing someone speak startled her.
“Ah! It’s you! You scared me, how did you come over?”
Seeing the visitor, Pei Lingsu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned back to continue absorbing the few little Light Balls before her.
Zhang Xiaoman noticed that his mom wasn’t hurt and showed no signs of being frightened.
On the contrary, there was a hint of anticipation and excitement on her face, as if she was very interested in the scene before her.
“Mom… what’s going on, were you attacked by Alien Species…?”
Zhang Xiaoman said hesitantly.
Although the scene clearly explained the situation, from his mom’s expression, nothing indicated an “attack.”
“Oh, you’re talking about these…”
His mom said while absorbing the monster corpse on the ground:
“While at home earlier, these green little Light Balls popped out from somewhere, seemingly trying to attack me… But as soon as they rushed over, the Magic Shield you gave blocked them.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman wiped his sweat.
He silently thought it’s a good thing he prepared thoroughly, or else, without any preparation, his mom could have indeed gotten hurt.
“Then… how did you take them all down? Didn’t I tell you, once you’re attacked by monsters, you must notify me immediately and use your Teleportation Ability to leave.”
He expressed a hint of blame, feeling very scared about what had happened.
His mom, having finished absorbing all the little Light Balls, turned around with an innocent look and said:
“I don’t know, actually, I intended to leave, but I remembered seeing creatures like these in the Alien Monster Manual you gave me. I recalled they’re very afraid of Soul Absorption Technique, so to buy time, I randomly released it at them, and unexpectedly, it turned into this state…”
After hearing her explanation, Zhang Xiaoman was somewhat amused.
He suddenly remembered that his mom had the Spirit Star Ring’s passive ability.
Not only immune to mental attacks, but her Dark Energy Attack also deals double damage.
Plus, these Wandering Spirits are inherently fragile and have a weak attribute to Energy Attack, so being wiped out instantly by his mom’s skill was no surprise. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
Zhang Xiaoman had at least leveled up his mom’s Soul Absorption Technique skill; while not yet at purple level, it was already at a blue elite tier.
“I see… these creatures indeed fear energy attacks, and with your Spirit Star Ring, it’s not surprising you could one-shot them…”
Zhang Xiaoman confirmed.
He then sighed and said:
“But mom, you’d better move directly to Rebirth Island next time, don’t come back here again, it’s too dangerous…”
“Not only because of the Alien Species, but now Light Blue Starry Sky has become a thorn in many people’s eyes. Although in Hua Xia Country, no one should be able to extend their reach here, there’s always a chance… If you feel bored at the base, go to Dragon Sleep Mountain, isn’t Master Liu there too, you can keep him company…”
