Chapter 732 - 462: Primordial Spirit Strength Enhanced
This nearly decrepit body,
under Wang Ye’s control, gradually stood up,
and its overall demeanor had undergone a drastic transformation from before.
Previously, Old Yi, having worked long within the system, had a more introverted and gloomy demeanor, but also carried a hint of a soldier’s resolute aura, making his overall presence not very noticeable in a crowd.
Moreover, his physique appeared somewhat short and hunchbacked due to many old injuries and muscle atrophy.
However, now with Wang Ye’s possession, his demeanor was completely different. His eyes and aura, akin to a Divine Being’s Primordial Spirit, added a sharpness and spiritual power to Old Yi’s eyes, making him appear like a blinding incandescent bulb, with what seemed like a divine halo enveloping him, though no actual light was present, the overall aura left such an impression, inspiring awe in others.
This is the divinity brought forth by Wang Ye’s Three Souls, similar to the changes in demeanor experienced by many in Chinese Shamanism and Divination Child when possessed by a Divine Being.
For instance, a previously timid boy, once possessed by a Divine Being, would instantly exude a ferocious aura, terrifyingly fierce, chilling to behold.
Also, an originally normal man, once possessed by a Divine Being, would instantly have a more feminine demeanor, with a touch of enchantment, and his movements would become more effeminate.
For a normal person without decades of rigorous acting training, it’s nearly impossible to achieve such transformations instantly.
Which is why it’s easy to fool ordinary people, maintaining the tradition of Chinese Shamanism and Divination Child to this day.
The stark contrast after Wang Ye possessed Old Yi is because this demeanor was inherently his,
just that his habitual maintenance of this demeanor went unnoticed by those around him, akin to family members being unable to discern true beauty or ugliness after being too familiar.
Now, with Old Yi’s body suddenly showcasing Wang Ye’s aura, the drastic before-and-after difference was unmistakable.
Wang Ye felt the peculiar sensation of possessing another’s body, his face showing a hint of surprise.
"So this is what possession feels like..."
He could feel his Primordial Spirit being incongruous with the body, yet he could easily maneuver the body through complex motions.
If there existed the kind of brain-machine interface games in online gaming novels, controlling characters in those would likely feel the same.
You can distinctly feel you don’t belong to this body, yet you can relay brainwaves to it, controlling it with nearly no resistance.
Moreover, the body’s five senses’ tactile and fatigue sensations could be genuinely felt by Wang Ye.
But, there was a problem,
Wang Ye staying in this body for too long caused a strong sense of rejection, like the residual Seven Spirits in the body acting as immune cells in blood, repelling him as a virus.
This counter was causing his Three Souls and the body’s Seven Spirits to continually clash, weakening his Three Souls progressively.
This was likely the fundamental reason he couldn’t remain possessed for too long.
However, if his Three Souls became increasingly powerful, the body’s rejection might grow weaker, allowing for nearly infinite possession time.
Achieving this, however, was no simple feat, an undertaking far from Wang Ye’s current capabilities.
With this in mind,
Wang Ye manipulated Old Yi’s body, shaking the arms, twisting the spine, emitting a "crackling" sound of bones twisting.
Normally, in twisting, joint cavity gas release, tendon movement, or joint surface friction cause bone cracking sounds.
Hence a normal person feels comfort in twisting, loosening adhesions from prolonged sitting or standing, sometimes alleviating disc protrusion pain.
But the "crackling" of Old Yi’s body twisted by Wang Ye was not due to those reasons,
rather, his bones were genuinely twisted and broken.
The entire spine was forcefully twisted apart, each segment dislocated and even pulverized.
Yet his expression betrayed no pain, remaining as calm as still water.
Using medical equipment to scan his spine would reveal that the forcibly twisted vertebrae had instantly healed, eradicating prior disc protrusion and even leaving it rejuvenated, similar to a healthy spine of a youth in their twenties, resilient and sturdy, with calcium abundance in the bones.
This was Wang Ye’s mechanism for adapting and adjusting the body,
with Old Yi’s body bearing many training-induced ailments from youth, difficult to naturally heal otherwise without destruction and renewal.
Yet for someone else, breaking the entire spine like this could mean lifelong bedbound existence, possibly damaging nerves, causing paralysis or vegetative states.
But Wang Ye was different, his breakage process was meticulously calculated to precisely shatter the afflicted areas, then utilize the Primordial Qi accumulated in his Primordial Spirit to expedite bone healing. The repair materials, like calcium, were also sourced through Primordial Qi from external metal particles and minerals underfoot.
After the spine healed, Wang Ye continued similarly with other afflicted body parts, breaking them one by one.
