Hua Guguang was displeased to hear Zhu Hongxing’s assessment of her. ’What’s wrong with Elite Level? Elite Level is already incredible! Just how many Mythical Level individuals are there in the entire Federation?’ She glanced at the sickly little White Tiger lying by Yun Han’s pillow and scoffed internally, ’So what if it’s Mythical Level? It still looks like it could drop dead at any moment!’ 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

However, Zhu Hongxing had both power and status, so even though she was displeased, she didn’t dare show it. She humbly nodded her head, professing that she would act within her limits.

Zhu Hongxing was Zhu Hongying’s older brother, making Yun Han his nephew. In recent years, outstanding female Spirit Controllers had become increasingly rare. The powerful ones who met the criteria were either too far apart in age or had terrible characters. Hua Guguang was the best his brother-in-law had been able to find after a careful selection.

He sighed and shook his head. In his heart, he did not think highly of Hua Guguang at all.

A few years ago, this junior from the Huajia had been somewhat reserved in public. But as her power grew in recent years, her true colors were revealed, and her record became tarnished with misdeeds.

Zhu Hongxing gestured for Hua Guguang to step forward. He formed a seal with his fingers, and a large, fiery-red bird appeared in the room with a cry. After circling once, an invisible Energy Shield enveloped Yun Han and Hua Guguang from above. This Energy Shield was generated by Zhu Hongxing and would allow him to monitor their conditions and detect any problems in time.

"You may begin," Zhu Hongxing said, watching from the side.

Hua Guguang saw Yun Han lying there quietly with his eyes closed, like a divine statue. She couldn’t help but imagine the look on his face when he woke up and realized he had become her Contractor.

Hua Guguang brushed two fingers across her own forehead, then touched the center of Yun Han’s. A powerful wave of spiritual power flowed within the Energy Shield. The shield’s presence ensured that none of Hua Guguang’s spiritual power would leak out, preserving its intensity to the greatest extent possible.

Hua Guguang’s spiritual power aggressively surged into Yun Han’s mind. Without even a hint of a preliminary probe, she charged at full power directly toward the location of his Spiritual Sea. If Yun Han had been conscious, such a savage assault would have caused him immense pain. However, his mind was a bleak grayness; all consciousness, sensation, and his Spiritual Sense were sealed away.

Hua Guguang’s spiritual power slammed against the sealed Spiritual Sea. The place that should have been flowing with spiritual light was now a scene of endless desolation.

Yun Han’s Spiritual Sea was originally immeasurably vast, but now it appeared to be only the size of a palm. Hua Guguang darted around this area, ramming into it from all directions like a headless fly, yet the desolate Spiritual Sea showed no reaction.

In a fit of shame and anger, Hua Guguang secretly gripped the God-breaking Needle hidden in her sleeve and abruptly stabbed it toward the Baihui Acupoint on top of Yun Han’s head. The God-breaking Needle was specifically designed to target Divine Sense. With that one strike, a tiny fissure instantly appeared in Yun Han’s sealed Spiritual Sea. Seeing that it worked, Hua Guguang was overjoyed. She focused her spiritual power to violently assault the fissure while holding the God-breaking Needle, preparing to strike the Baihui Acupoint again.

"Stop! What is that in your hand?" Zhu Hongying, who was watching from the side, was the first to spot Hua Guguang’s subtle movements. The God-breaking Needle was extremely fine, and Hua Guguang’s actions were covert, so it should not have been easy to discover. However, Zhu Hongying was meticulous and had been keeping a close watch on Yun Han. She had just noticed his brow seem to furrow for a moment, and when she took a closer look at Hua Guguang’s actions, she immediately sensed something was wrong.

"The God-breaking Needle! Hua Guguang, stop!" Zhu Hongying shouted in shock and anger.

Yun Han’s Spiritual Sea was sealed. They wanted Hua Guguang to try and guide him into opening it, or to find a way to establish a spiritual connection and use the Spiritual Link Channel to draw out his spiritual power, helping him open the Spiritual Sea from within—not for her to violently tear a hole in it!

"Withdraw!" Zhu Hongxing shouted. He dispelled the Energy Shield, grabbed Hua Guguang, and took the God-breaking Needle from her hand.

However, Hua Guguang refused to withdraw her spiritual power. She forcibly squeezed her way through the fissure she had just created. Only a few seconds passed before, "AHH!" Hua Guguang let out a bloodcurdling scream, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Yun Han’s brow was tightly furrowed, his face contorted in pain. Blood trickled from the corner of the sickly little White Tiger’s mouth, and it no longer even had the strength to open its eyes.

"The Solid God Pill! The Solid God Pill! Quick, Hong Ying, give it to Yun Han!" Yun Tianye could feel his son’s Life Force weakening in an instant. He immediately took out the Solid God Pill he had begged for from the Old Ancestor and fed it to Yun Han.

Yun Tianye and Zhu Hongying busied themselves with checking on Yun Han, while Zhu Hongxing checked on Hua Guguang.

After more than an hour of frantic work, Yun Han’s Life Force stabilized. The tiny fissure that had been torn open in his Spiritual Sea from the outside began to slowly repair itself.

Hua Guguang had woken up long ago, but she kept clutching her head and complaining of a headache, putting on a weak and feeble act.

"Miss Hua, we invited you here to see if you could establish a spiritual connection with my son, not to murder him! How dare you use a God-breaking Needle while attempting to form the connection? You were trying to take my son’s life!" Yun Tianye seethed with rage as he looked at the little White Tiger, which was now on the verge of death.

"His Spiritual Sea is sealed! If I don’t open it, how am I supposed to establish a spiritual connection? The God-breaking Needle is the best way to open a Spiritual Sea. If you hadn’t stopped me, I would have already succeeded!" Hua Guguang retorted defiantly.

"You’re still making excuses! Do you have any idea how important the Spiritual Sea is? How can you just break it open at will!" The anger caused a dull ache to spread through Yun Tianye’s chest.

In reality, the Spiritual Link Channel could bypass the Spiritual Sea and directly link two people’s spiritual power. This was a well-known fact. However, in a situation where the Spiritual Sea was sealed, it was not definitively known whether a female Spirit Controller, as the dominant party, could establish a spiritual connection with a passive recipient.

There were rumors of someone succeeding, but they were only rumors.

Hua Guguang had been invited by the Yun Family. Even though her actions were improper, Yun Tianye and Zhu Hongying couldn’t do much to her. Nevertheless, the couple’s attitude toward her instantly shifted from anticipation to disgust.

They had a junior arrange to send her back to the Huajia, with instructions to also report what had happened today to the Huajia’s Family Head.

"Sister, if nothing else works, should we try asking those few seniors?" Zhu Hongxing couldn’t help but suggest.

"It’s no use, Brother. We’ve already asked them," Yun Tianye replied, his face ashen and his eyes filled with despair.

"Third Uncle, Auntie, why not let Ning Xuan try? Their gene compatibility is over ninety percent!" Lin Mo couldn’t stop himself from pushing the door open and coming inside to speak.

"But she’s only D-level! And she’s from a low-class bloodline, born on a Garbage Star," Yun Tianye said sorrowfully.

"If her bloodline is so low-class, how could she have such high gene compatibility with me, and with my cousin?" Lin Mo was displeased to hear Ning Xuan’s bloodline being disparaged.
