Chapter 680: 509 He can!
And the improvement wasn't just a little bit.
The connection between the Spiritual Body and the physical body is indeed precise, but it isn't so detailed that it can reflect everything without exception.
The dramatic fluctuations that are happening now can only mean that General Bai E's level of Spiritual Energy has risen again during his trials in high-dimensional space, and not just risen, but skyrocketed!
Dozens? Hundreds? Otherwise, such a degree of aura change would not have occurred!
No one knows exactly what situation General Bai E encountered in high-dimensional space, but to be able to achieve such breakthroughs in combat is still an incredible advancement.
For a moment, all spiritual energy practitioners felt a tinge of envy. They didn't know how long they would have to endure hardship to accumulate dozens or hundreds of points of Spiritual Energy, and yet, General Bai E had managed such growth instantly with just one high-dimensional training session.
No wonder General Bai E rose above those who came before him, easily accomplishing feats that others could not achieve in a lifetime.
Just as everyone was still marvelling at General Bai E, a similar intense fluctuation of Spiritual Energy appeared on the Elf Race contestant seated cross-legged beside Bai E.
The moment she sensed it, Yue Ying, who was quick to glance over, was startled. A form of scrutiny from higher-dimensional space traced back to her the moment she observed her clansman's condition through her "sight".
That look carried the thoughts of its owner, and someone like Yue Ying, a powerful wielder of Spiritual Energy, would instinctively keep every sense enriched and strengthened by Spiritual Energy.
Even a mere gaze connected to Yue Ying's own "spirit", and observation was always mutual; while she observed others, they were also observing her...
It was like a fierce beast from the darkness suddenly lunging at her, and the quick-reacting Yue Ying immediately severed all control over that line of sight, including the slightest bit of spirituality contained within it.
Although this action might mean she would forever lose some of her capacity for Spiritual Energy, it was still better than being pounced upon by that unseen beast.
Yue Ying stepped back half a step with a slight stagger, her complexion somewhat pale.
Clan member...
Sensing the abrupt strangeness of her older sister, Yue Ying immediately supported her sister's soft hand and softly asked, "What's wrong?"
Yue Ying replied with a hint of a bitter smile, "Garuda... I fear he won't be able to return."
"How can that be?" Yue Ying's first reaction was one of disbelief.
However, the other Elf Race members present didn't question the Prophet's authority in the least. They had already accepted the hard-to-accept reality the moment they heard Yue Ying's words.
"What should we do?" Fengbao looked at the Prophet with a solemn expression, seeking guidance.
Yue Ying frowned slightly, remaining silent.
Seeing such a wary expression on her sister made Yue Ying realize almost immediately what kind of existence they might be dealing with.
"Could it be... Him?"
"Mhm..." Yue Ying nodded slightly, her expression bitter.
Even a so-called Prophet, of course, wasn't omniscient.
Furthermore, the more powerful the being, the greater the turbulence they could cause, let alone in a place like high-dimensional space, where the concept of precognition is meaningless. Beings who voluntarily enter such chaos naturally cannot foresee their own fates or disasters.
Apart from some rough knowledge about an individual's destiny to predict personal fortunes and misfortunes to an extent, she couldn't do much more.
And such precognition wasn't something that could be done casually; except for those marked by fate as "core" individuals, all other beings were mere backdrops.
The fact that a clan member encountered "that one" during this competition was an unforeseeable event for her as well.
Even if this so-called "that one" was actually just a "false god" within a seal, its authority was still not something she could contend with.
The "disaster" nurtured by the Elf Race was an absolute nemesis for all of its members.
"We'll have to give up on him..." Realizing this, Fengbao's face fell as he voiced the unbearable decision.
Getting lost in high-dimensional space and dying in the material world are two completely different fates.
In the material world, even death, aside from causing regret amongst Elf Race kin, didn't really lead to much emotional upheaval.
But to get lost in high-dimensional space, they, the Elf Race, would almost certainly fall under the control of "that one."
That meant enduring torment that could last tens of thousands of years, virtually endless.
Every member of the Elf Race could empathize, only hoping that if one day they too fell into such a plight, their companions would grant them eternal peaceful slumber.
"Not... Prophet of the Elf Race, what exactly has happened to your people?"
The human elder asked in confusion from the side.
The cryptic discussion among the Elf Race left the human listeners completely bewildered.
All they knew was that the Elf Race's contestant had probably encountered some unimaginably formidable opponent.
As for how they, while in the material world, could "see" what was happening in high-dimensional space, that must be attributed to their tribe's magical "Prophet", right?
"If it's some kind of formidable enemy, we could totally pull him back, right?"
