Chapter 435 - 432 Heavenly Master 139
Shuangshuang said with ease, "This thing looks formidable, but its real ability lies in illusion techniques. It uses its own body as a medium to open up a different space, then encases people’s souls within for it to devour. After all the effort it’s gone through, it’s simply because it has no real means of attack and can’t directly consume a person’s soul, so it can only use this method of guidance and confusion to gradually erode the souls of those it misleads!"
Seeing Dong Wentao’s rapt attention, Shuangshuang, who rarely spoke so much, was in a good mood and continued, "The difficult part about dealing with a nightmare isn’t fighting or subduing it, but discovering its true form. To know the true form of a nightmare, you need to understand what kind of obsession it derives from; this obsession is the nightmare’s own. Its true form is usually hidden within this very obsession!"
Enthusiastic about teaching, Shuangshuang spoke at length, but the result was that Dong Wentao’s eyes were like spirals, looking at Shuangshuang without any understanding. Although he listened diligently, he seemed completely baffled, leaving Shuangshuang with a headache!
Resignedly sighing inwardly, Shuangshuang thought that at least Dong Wentao was willing to learn now. If he couldn’t understand it, it didn’t matter; she’d teach him gradually later. Hard work could make up for lack of talent, and besides, Dong Wentao was exceptionally clever in other ways. Maybe he just hadn’t awakened to it yet!
"Since this nightmare is derived from the obsession of countless people pouring into the game, then its obsession is this game itself. In the game, to clear it, you must defeat the final boss. Since the nightmare’s obsession is the game, its true form should be the final boss in the game. We just need to enter the game and clear it to naturally see the nightmare’s true form!"
Seeing Dong Wentao’s confusion, Shuangshuang straightforwardly presented the answer.
"Ah, I’m good at this!" This time, Shuangshuang’s explanation was understood by Dong Wentao, who excitedly cracked his knuckles and said, "I’m great at gaming, clearing it will be a piece of cake. But how do we get inside? This thing only lets the soul enter, which doesn’t matter to me since I’m not yet a Heavenly Master, so it’s fine for my soul to leave my body. But as I recall, Master once said that Heavenly Masters can’t let their bodies leave their souls, right?"
Shuangshuang raised her eyebrows slightly. It was something she had taught Dong Wentao before, and she didn’t expect him to remember it. She thought he had forgotten everything she’d taught him back then.
Seeing Shuangshuang’s look, Dong Wentao blushed and couldn’t help but cough, awkwardly saying, "Master was angry before because I wasn’t diligent in my studies. I used to recall Master’s teachings every day when I was at school. In the end, my memory is good, and I remembered some things."
The corners of Shuangshuang’s mouth couldn’t help but lift slightly. A good memory is a big advantage, and most importantly, Dong Wentao truly showed remorse, which was what made Shuangshuang happiest.
