Although he had allocated a portion of his mental power to investigate Lanxin University, Gu Ran still left a considerable portion of his mental power in Wu Shengyuan's sea of consciousness.
Wu Shengyuan thought that the part of mental power left in the sea of consciousness did not pose a big threat, and his "real body" was enough to deal with it.
However, Wu Shengyuan did not expect that Gu Ran's mental power was so different from before.
With the blessing of the Nameless Sword, the sharpness of the mental power that entered his sea of consciousness greatly increased its attack power.
If the previous telekinesis was a wooden spear, then with the blessing of the nameless sword, it is equivalent to replacing the tip of the spear with a bronze spear tip.
Telekinesis has a restraining effect on evil spirits. When the offensiveness of telekinesis is enhanced, its restraining effect on evil spirits is also increased several times.
Therefore, even if only a part of the mental power was attacking Wu Shengyuan's sea of consciousness, his "real body" would soon be unable to withstand it after resisting for a while.
Because of his carelessness at the beginning, Wu Shengyuan's "real body" thought that it could withstand Gu Ran's not-so-much mental power, so he did not run away immediately.
But as soon as they "fought", Gu Ran's mental power defeated his "real body" with unstoppable force.
What was even more unexpected to him was that Gu Ran’s mental power could actually torture his “original body” just like he tortured his physical body.
Although that was only a small part of the "original body" left behind due to failure to escape, the torture from Gu Ran's mental power could make him feel the pain from the "original body" to a certain extent.
This kind of pain that comes from the "essence" is the real pain for him, and it is the pain that makes him afraid.
He originally thought that Gu Ran could not do it, and at most could only destroy his "real body", but he did not expect that Gu Ran's telekinesis had improved so much compared to before, and his ability had become so strong.
Wu Shengyuan gasped heavily and looked at Gu Ran with some fear.
Even though he prepared many trump cards for Gu Ran, Gu Ran still continued to surpass his cognition.
He now has some doubts as to whether his trump card can still have the desired effect.
"I believe you should be able to calm down now."
Gu Ran used his telekinesis to lift Wu Shengyuan up.
Wu Shengyuan's expression was a little dazed, because at this moment in his sea of consciousness, after suffering a loss, his "original body" immediately knew that it was no match for Gu Ran's mental power, so it used its understanding and control of this sea of consciousness to escape and block Gu Ran.
If the sea of consciousness is used as the battlefield, then the strength and degree of coordination of the master of the sea of consciousness will have a crucial impact on the battle situation.
It seems that Wu Shengyuan's body has been completely controlled by the evil demon, because his sea of consciousness seems to have been controlled by the evil demon.
Gu Ran chased the evil demon's "real body" in the sea of consciousness for a while but failed to catch up with it. He was constantly hindered by various attacks from the sea of consciousness.
The evil demon's "real body" was obviously frightened by Gu Ran's sharp attack at the beginning, but it slowly calmed down after seeing that the obstruction of the sea of consciousness took effect.
Wu Shengyuan's eyes also became lively.
He looked at Gu Ran, his eyes filled with fear.
But he really didn't dare to say anything more. He still remembered that Gu Ran's mental power had not been fully infused into his sea of consciousness.
If Gu Ran recovered all his mental power and used it to strangle his "real body", he would not be sure to escape again.
Even though he valued Gu Ran so much before making the plan, he only realized now that he still underestimated Gu Ran.
But at the same time, his desire for Gu Ran became stronger and stronger.
The stronger Gu Ran becomes and the faster he improves, the more it proves that his vision is correct. The value reflected by Gu Ran's body makes him itchy.
There was no falsehood in what he said just now. If Gu Ran chose to join him, or to join them, then Gu Ran would indeed become the leader of their will.
But that doesn’t matter to them. As long as the essence of life does not change and the result can be strengthened, anyone can be the leader.
But now Gu Ran clearly showed resistance to this plan, which made them feel regretful.
If such a win-win plan fails to materialize, then their war with Gu Ran will truly begin.
"Ahem, it looks like you don't intend to kill me right now." After turning into a human pig, Wu Shengyuan's voice was a little hoarse, "Let me guess the reason. You should be thinking that the student who should have been executed long ago has appeared twice, so will there be a third time, or more times?"
"Haha, congratulations, you guessed it right."
Wu Shengyuan looked into Gu Ran's eyes.
"You should also know that your telekinesis can't detect everywhere. In fact, in addition to the barrier that isolates telekinesis, there is also a barrier that can disguise itself under telekinesis detection."
"Among your students, I still have a small number left. I have placed them in various places. If you kill me, no one will know their whereabouts."
Seeing Gu Ran's expression change slightly, Wu Shengyuan smiled. Even though his smile caused his wound to hurt him unbearably, he still couldn't hide his smile.
"Haha, I've said it before, those so-called bonds and emotions of human beings are completely unnecessary burdens."
"They are clearly more scattered individuals than we are, but they behave more like a whole than we do. Their strengths are completely overshadowed by their weaknesses."
Gu Ran understood the meaning of Wu Shengyuan's words.
The evil spirits, this peculiar life form, can be separated into different individuals, or it can appear as a fused individual - a true fusion with greater strength and the same will.
But the evil demons are selfish and ruthless, and each of them only wants to continuously enhance their own strength. Becoming stronger and playing with people's hearts are their only two reasons for existence.
Even if they merge into one, it is only because there are powerful enemies that must be merged to deal with, such as him.
Otherwise, given the selfish nature of evil spirits, they will only choose to grow alone.
Humans, on the other hand, behave more "individualized" than demons, but have all sorts of redundant emotions that unite each individual human being.
This kind of emotion is useless and will hinder the individual from becoming stronger.
For example, now he is threatened by them because of those students.
Gu Ran understood what the evil demon meant, but he didn't think he was right.
Human beings are complex individuals.
Humans can be more selfish than the devil, but they can also be more "integrated" than the devil.
The reason why we are human beings is that we are complex.
All life forms are different, and Gu Ran did not expect the evil demon to understand, nor was he interested in making the evil demon understand.
However, based on the words of the evil demon, he can further understand this life form and infer their thoughts and behaviors.
"Then tell me your terms."
Gu Ran looked into Wu Shengyuan's eyes.
"Tell me the conditions of their position."
Wu Shengyuan said jokingly: "Any conditions are acceptable—"
Before he could utter the word "Is that so?", he quickly took back his words when he saw Gu Ran's eyes.
"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Gu Ran said calmly: "I do care about my students, but I know the premise that I can negotiate with you and avenge them after the negotiation fails."
His ability to suppress evil spirits is the basis of all this.
It is absolutely impossible for him to use his students as bargaining chips to make him weaken his own strength.
"But if this is the case, and I can't appreciate your painful expression, then you will have no value to me." Wu Shengyuan shrugged.
Of course, Wu Shengyuan knew that he was lying.
Gu Ran's value in his eyes has never decreased, and has even continued to increase, and his purpose has never changed.
Bang!
Gu Ran punched Wu Shengyuan in the face, causing his head to spin like a top again and his neck twisting like a rubber band.
At the same time, Gu Ran withdrew more of his mental power, increased the intensity of hunting down the evil demon's "real body" in his sea of consciousness, and in an instant he made new gains.
Under the combined efforts of both, Wu Shengyuan felt pain from both his body and soul.
"So we can't reach an agreement? In this case, I have no choice but to kill you right now to avenge my students."
Gu Ran said coldly.
"Cough cough." Wu Shengyuan spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with some tiny pieces of internal organs.
His body had already suffered internal injuries from Gu Ran's initial kick. If he had been able to treat himself immediately at that time, the injury would not have been a big deal.
But Gu Ran did not give him a chance to receive treatment, and now he continued to attack him, which made it impossible for him to suppress his internal injuries.
Wu Shengyuan immediately began to condense his spiritual energy, preparing to "repair" his body.
Even if this body is that of a martial arts master, it cannot withstand such severe injuries for a long time without treatment.
"Your body can no longer bear it. Do you have to gather spiritual energy to heal your wounds?"
Gu Ran pressed the nameless sword against Wu Shengyuan's dantian.
"Then if your martial arts golden elixir is destroyed and you are unable to gather spiritual energy, how will you deal with it?"
"You have lost your ability to heal, and you have been injured so severely. Your body will die soon."
Gu Ran's voice seemed neither hurried nor slow, as if he was chatting casually.
"When your body dies and loses its ability to carry things, you will have no choice but to leave this body and find the next one to take over. In that case, you will have nowhere to hide."
Gu Ran stared at Wu Shengyuan. Although his tone sounded calm, one could feel the determination in it.
Wu Shengyuan's pupils shrank.
If the physical body dies, the sea of consciousness will also collapse and be destroyed.
At that time, his "real body" would no longer have a "shelter" when facing Gu Ran's mental power.
It would be easy for Gu Ran's mental power to deal with his "real body".
