“Damn it!”

Under Su Lu’s feet, a ten-meter-long giant snake writhed unwillingly, baring its bloody maw in an attempt to swallow him whole.

“Spirit Thorn!”

The next moment, the snake’s eyes glazed over as it collapsed to the ground, now nothing more than a lifeless corpse.

Behind it, two branched paths appeared.

Su Lu chose the left path and walked along the labyrinthine wall adorned with strange patterns.

He had encountered this type of mental secret realm maze before. But the one created by the transcendent was more vexing and challenging than those of ordinary people.

For instance, it possessed more potent suppression capabilities and rules that prevented flight.

Even climbing to the top of the maze was a luxury.

In addition, the walls were extremely firm and difficult to destroy. Su Lu even suspected that even if one succeeded in breaking them, it would immediately create complex distortions.

Therefore, he obediently followed the maze’s path, sticking to one wall all the way to the end!

As long as the maze remained unchanged, he would eventually reach its core!

‘If I ever encounter a changing maze, I will just have to suck it up!’

[Spirit Medium] that can interact with the second layer of the Spirit World could achieve this feat.

For example, himself. The entrance to his current mental secret realm was on his spiritual body, with even more enhanced defenses. Comprising elements of a maze, beasts, and guardians, it would instantaneously detect and alert him of foreign invasions.

At his current level, it was impossible for the Demon Curse Spirit from Nia City to infiltrate his mind, clandestinely changing his memories!

“Awoooo!”

As he turned a corner, a pack of wolves howled and charged at him.

“Spirit oppression!”

Su Lu’s eyes hardened as a frightening aura surged out, crashing like a huge tidal wave.

“Woo woo!”

The wolves whimpered with their tails between their legs as their fur trembled in fear.

Su Lu advanced, the physical prowess of a [Soldier] enabling him to tear through their ranks as if he were in a land devoid of life.

“Damn it!”

After breaking through the wolf pack, three more branching paths appeared before him.

Su Lu’s expression grew solemn as he chose the furthest path on the left to continue his exploration…

“Blast it all, finally made it!”

After an unknown period of time, Su Lu finally reached the core of the maze.

The surroundings were open, like a spacious marble square.

And standing in the center of the square was a beast!

It was five meters tall, with a pair of horns emulating a bull, hooves below the knee, red eyes, and furry brawny arms wielding a huge axe.

“A beast? Sure enough, it’s combined!”

As soon as Su Lu laid eyes on his opponent, he knew this minotaur was Jessila’s subconscious core!

This feeling was extremely peculiar and could only be confirmed upon face-to-face contact.

“Unbelievable… From the outside, Jessila seemed meticulous, perfectly corresponding to the maze… but in actuality, her subconscious core is guarded by a beast, implying she’s surface-level careful, but internally reckless?”

Acting impulsively while maintaining a rational facade, Su Lu, to his surprise, found this contradiction relatively easy to understand.

“Roar!”

The minotaur monster, serving as the last defense, let out a roar upon spotting the intruder, Su Lu.

Vroom!

A layer of earthy yellow light appeared, enveloping the entire square.

Su Lu’s body stiffened abruptly: “What is this? A gravity spell? Transcendent’s prowess? So, even transcendent power participates in the subconscious core defense of a transcendent?”

It was hard enough dealing with a minotaur monster, but now if it had spell-casting abilities too, the situation escalated to a whole new level of difficulty!

“Indeed… [Mystical Scholars] exploring the mental realm, is still a bit of a stretch after all!”

Su Lu sighed, stepping into the square.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this point, the brawny minotaur indiscriminately swung its mighty axe, chopping down with deadly force.

Bang!

Su Lu’s body flickered as a deep trench was formed on the marble ground beside him. Showering him with a spray of debris that pelted his body, causing bouts of acute pain.

If his spiritual body got injured, his real body would also pay the price.

“Spirit oppression!”

“Spirit Thorn!”

The once invincible skills could now only pause the beast’s movements momentarily.

“The suppression…lt has increased.”

When invading another person’s mental realm, he would definitely face suppression.

And now, this suppression has reached an extreme!

“If it was a high-ranking occupational person, wouldn’t I become an ordinary person in this scenario?”

Su Lu shuddered, but he didn’t miss his chance.

“Power of the Tiger! Open!”

He shouted, and an illusory shadow of a ferocious tiger appeared behind him.

Simultaneously, a warm surge flowed throughout his whole body, compelling him to roar uncontrollably.

Slap!

Su Lu made a step, landing on the back of the axe. Climbing up along the Minotaur’s arm, his right leg promptly transformed into a whip. Drawing strength from his thigh, he thrusted it down with great force.

Bang!

After taking a fierce leg-whip, the Minotaur staggered back a few steps, seemingly dazed.

“Dammit… Whether it’s [Spirit Medium] or [Mystical Scholar], they both lack means of attack…”

Su Lu gritted his teeth.

He didn’t have much precious items on hand for self-protection. Faced with such resilient beasts, he was at a loss.

“It seems… I really need to try to see if it can be worn down and killed!” Su Lu gauged the time in the mental realm.

For safety’s sake, he, of course, had lit a candle in the real world; however, the perception of time was different in the spirit realm.

But upon assessing it now, he realized only a good portion of the time had passed.

“There’s still time… I can wear down this Minotaur!”

Su Lu took a deep breath.

Boom! Boom!

Consecutive sounds echoed, the Minotaur finally slowly succumbed to the relentless attacks and fell.

Accompanied by a miniature earthquake- like rumble, the Minotaur fell onto the ground and gradually transformed.

Its physique continually shrank, and its limbs turned into slender, well-proportioned ones. Its hooves morphed into a pair of fair humanlike legs.

“Jessila…”

Su Lu approached the unconscious ‘Jessila,’ rubbing his fingers together: “What a hassle…”

If it was a mere beastly defense, it would have been easy, as everything within the mental secret realm would have been exposed. And all he needed to do would be to defeat a single robust beast to do as he pleased.

But this woman had ulterior motives—setting a monster loose in the maze!

He had barely overcome it.

“Thankfully… I won in the end! ”

Gazing at Jessila before him, Su Lu commented slightly smug: “Reveal… everything to me!”

Given his abilities, he could only obtain some information at most.

As for things like modifying and deleting memories, or even forcefully fabricating a segment of an ordinary person’s past — creating a fake friend or a relative— it was something Su Lu couldn’t possibly achieve.

At most, he could make Jessila develop some sort of a mild affinity towards him through subconscious suggestions.

“But this is pointless… Even love might not bind a woman, let alone mere affection… This could be sacrificed in a heartbeat….
