Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165: Lightning Spirit [PART 1]

"I’ve changed my mind. Join my Wuming Cult and I’ll spare your little sect for offending me," the Wuming Cult leader spoke.

But Li Yao wasn’t paying attention to his words. Instead, her focus shifted inward to the Empress. "What is happening here?" she asked mentally.

[It seems my guess was right,] the Empress replied, satisfaction evident in her tone.

"What guess?" Li Yao pressed.

[You have been acknowledged by the world as an elemental spirit,] the Empress explained. [A lightning spirit, to be specific. After absorbing too much lightning element, the world recognized you as a lightning spirit.]

The Empress paused momentarily before continuing, [It’s quite rare for the world to recognize a human as an elemental spirit.]

She reflected that usually, the world would condense energy for a long time, then create its own spirits. For it to recognize a human this way was exceptionally uncommon. Li Yao truly was favored by the heavens.

"Is this a good thing?" Li Yao asked practically. To her, it didn’t matter whether or not the world recognized her—she only cared about the benefits.

[Mostly yes, but it also has its own downsides,] the Empress replied. [The benefits are mostly increased affinity with the lightning element, and also the ability to fight souls using your physical body.]

[Since spirits are creatures acknowledged by the world to protect it, their bodies are optimized to be able to fight all sorts of creatures, ghosts...]

Li Yao interrupted impatiently, "And the downsides?"

[As I was saying,] the Empress continued with a hint of irritation, [spirits have the responsibility to protect the world. If the world is ever in danger, you are expected to protect it.]

[In a way, you are tied to the world. If the world doesn’t exist, although you won’t lose your life, you’ll lose your spirit status.]

Li Yao considered this information thoughtfully. It didn’t seem all that bad. "Protect the world from what? Does the world even need protection?" she asked.

[There are many dangers to the world,] the Empress explained. [If a strong immortal made a move, they might be able to destroy the world. And others even practice methods that require refining worlds.]

"So I just have to beat them when they come," Li Yao stated matter-of-factly.

The Empress’s lips twitched in exasperation. Wasn’t this girl listening to anything she was saying? [Well, yeah,] she conceded reluctantly.

"Alright, then I’ll protect the world. It’s my senior brother’s home after all," Li Yao declared, finally turning her attention back to the Cult Leader.

She casually used her finger to clear her ear, as if bored. "Sorry, I wasn’t listening. You were saying?" she asked with deliberate disinterest.

The Cult Leader’s face twitched involuntarily. He’d been talking for almost a minute, and she hadn’t even been listening? He breathed deeply to calm himself. It was just a junior—there was no need to lose his composure over a kid. He still needed to uncover the secret behind her unusual physique.
