Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178: 5th Grade Soul Shock Talisman

After entering the spiritual sea, the soul infant instantly jumped to him. Xiang Yu caught it, noting that its physical appearance seemed to have reached a limit as it wasn’t growing in size anymore. Well, it didn’t matter to him as long as the experience points kept accumulating.

"Don’t start cultivating yet," Xiang Yu instructed, and the infant nodded in understanding.

He decided to deviate from his usual routine today. Still, he wanted to gauge his power, so he resolved to run a few quick simulations. Settling into a comfortable position, he began running simulations against peak Golden Core Meiling. Surprisingly, this time he wasn’t losing ground and could easily overwhelm her. His strength had become so overwhelming that even the skill difference barely mattered. After running the simulation several more times, he found himself able to defeat her instantly.

He felt deeply satisfied with this result. Having peak Golden Core strength could at least be considered somewhat passable in his estimation. The success left him feeling a touch overconfident, prompting an absurd idea. In the simulation, he selected Li Yao as his opponent.

The result... didn’t go well, to put it mildly.

Xiang Yu opened his eyes from the simulation, not disappointed but simply accepting the reality. It was to be expected of the main character. And she wasn’t even in her final form yet—truly a monster among monsters.

"I want you to help me with something," Xiang Yu spoke as he left the spiritual sea. Instantly, the soul infant materialized beside him in the physical world.

"What do you think?" he asked the infant, which seemed mesmerized by the world outside. Xiang Yu recalled seeing Li Yao interact with the Empress this way; he hadn’t imagined it would work so effectively for him too.

"I want you to help me make talismans," he explained. The infant seemed excited as it settled atop his head.

Though Xiang Yu would have preferred creating a formation first, he decided crafting talismans was the better choice. Despite his faith in his junior sister, concern lingered, prompting him to craft talismans for them both. After his recent upgrade, he had obtained blueprints for an improved fifth-grade soul shock talisman capable of affecting an adult soul or Soul Formation realm cultivator.

Since he couldn’t precisely determine the soul energy required, he planned to create two: one for Li Yao, which might allow her to catch the enemy off guard and secure victory, and one for himself as a precaution. He understood that leaders of evil organizations rarely followed the rules—he wouldn’t be surprised if the cult leader targeted him to manipulate Li Yao. His junior sister was simultaneously his protector and the source of his predicaments.

"Let’s begin," he announced, taking out a blank talisman paper. Holding it in his hand, he concentrated on the new soul shock blueprint, etching every detail into his mind. Then, he summoned energy from his spiritual sea.

Immediately, energy flowed into the paper as intricate patterns began etching themselves onto its surface. The infant on his head stretched out its tiny arms, guiding its soul energy to merge with the talisman. Both Xiang Yu and the infant displayed strained expressions as they struggled with the complex fifth-rank blueprint.

They maintained this intensive process for nearly thirty minutes straight. Finally, the first talisman was complete. Xiang Yu wondered if he’d been overly ambitious in thinking he could craft two. Suddenly, he felt the infant still tugging at his hair.

"Are you tired?" he asked with concern.

The infant shook its head defiantly.
