Wendy's soul was too weak now . In fact, her soul was like a transparent object, and she would just pa.s.s through Steve when she tried to touch him . As such, she was unable to even touch his face!

Steve deliberately ignited Wendy's desire to survive as he said, "I can teach you a practice that can help you gather your soul strength . "

The Lemurian Civilization was proficient in spiritual powers and soul practices, so Steve had naturally mastered them all . However, the knowledge of how to reintegrate one's soul strength had not yet emerged among the Blue Star humans .

When she heard Steve's words, Wendy was shocked . She had never heard of soul training practices before .

But, after listening to Steve explain the training practices, Wendy's face became more solemn and dignified . As a level-five evolved being, Wendy's level of contact was much higher than Steve's, so hearing these things were particularly relevant to her .

There were also practices to forge and train evolved beings' spiritual powers, but they hadn't yet advanced to the soul . Even the practices to forge spiritual power did not have a systematic methodology, so they only existed in rough forms .

But, the soul training practice that Steve had just taught her allowed her to enhance her soul strength in addition to reintegrating her soul . Now, Wendy could also see the use and cultivation of spiritual power!

Although Steve had not taught her that much, hew basic knowledge now contained a complete system of practice . This was different from the practice system that was commonly used in the Blue Star Continent, and it had complementary effects when used with the humans' training practices .

As such, if this practice could be popularized among all human beings, the speed of human evolution would take a great leap in its modern progression!nOf course, this was the secret that belonged to the Clown Pharmacist alone, which meant that he alone would make the decision to popularize it or not .

"Aren't you afraid that I will reveal your secrets now that you've taught me such an important training practice?" A nice smile appeared on Wendy's lips .

"You were willing to sacrifice your life to save me, so I trust you," Steve replied .

"It's different . As I am a soldier, it's my duty to protect you . Also, at least regarding human beings, the contribution that you'll bring to mankind is far greater and more n.o.ble than mine could ever be," Wendy said .

A soldier should always remain in the most rational state at all times . At the same time, a soldier might have to sacrifice his or her life at any time . In Wendy's view, exchanging her own life for the Clown Pharmacist's life was worth, especially if one looked at it from a rational point of view .

Steve frowned, then said, "You're too rational . Human life should not be measured by seeming value . All human life is priceless . "

Wendy smiled, but did not reply . It was difficult to tell who was right and who was wrong in this regard, especially when the two of them had such different moral perspectives on the matter .

"Since you trust me so much, I won't reveal any of your secrets," Wendy said .

"Okay . As for The Ways of Spiritual Training, I intend to spread it to all mankind . But, now is not the time," Steve promised her .

Wendy then began to concentrate on the cohesion of her broken soul . Although the Clown Pharmacist hadn't made things clear to her, Wendy had already guessed that this was a problem .

Not only had the Clown Pharmacist mastered pharmaceutics that were far beyond the present humankind's understandings, but he had also mastered this powerful training practice!

Obviously, the Clown Pharmacist had gotten an exceptionally powerful inheritance from ancient civilizations . However, although Steve hadn't laid everything out for her clearly, both of them knew about this secret .

While Wendy gathered her soul strength, her body slowly recovered its vitality . Meanwhile, Judy patched her body up, bit by bit .

After some time, Wendy's soul had finally condensed into a semi-physical state . But, compared to Christina, Wendy was still far worse off .

Nevertheless, Wendy was powerful, and even in a semi-physical state, her soul strength was as powerful and as vast as the sea! Under the suppression of her powerful soul strength, the grey and dead air in the subconscious s.p.a.ce was thoroughly suppressed, allowing more vitality to slowly appear . But on the whole, the vitality was still slow and somewhat lethargic .

This was a big problem . After all, if they didn't expel the deadly aura soon, Wendy's soul might still collapse!

"Can I take off your mask now?" Wendy asked as she looked at Steve .

Steve frowned because he had just felt Wendy's soul fluctuate a little violently, which he knew to be a telltale sign of the oncoming collapse of her soul .

"She has gathered her soul because of her obsession with unmasking you . It's like the returning light before one's death… Once she unmasks you, the last bit of her perseverance will disappear, which means that her soul will collapse again," Judy cautioned Steve . "You have to do something else to motivate her to want to survive . "

Wendy's present state was like a candle that was about to be extinguished . She was experiencing the last burst of light before death .

This was also the last chance to save her . If Steve couldn't maintain or control this burst of light, Wendy's soul would collapse again! And this time, the collapse would be even more serious, most likely even resulting in her death!

Steve's heart sank as he thought of this possibility . He knew that he had to find a way to keep Wendy alive .

"Do it," Steve said calmly .

Wendy's hand slowly reached out for the mask on Steve's face, which was hiding the true ident.i.ty of the legendary pharmacist that millions of people were so curious about . Wendy's mind was filled with antic.i.p.ation because the Clown Pharmacist had once said that his real ident.i.ty was someone who she already knew . But, even after thinking of everyone she knew, Wendy still couldn't imagine who was most likely to be the Clown Pharmacist .

I'll have no regrets when I die, not after discovering the true ident.i.ty of the Clown Pharmacist! Wendy thought .

Then, when she finally lifted the mask and saw the Clown Pharmacist's real ident.i.ty, Wendy couldn't help but exclaim, "It's you… Steve! No… No . . . How could it be you?"

Looking at the man in front of her, Wendy was shocked . She knew many pharmacists, so the first group of people that she had imagined would be the Clown Pharmacist were the famous pharmacists among them . However, no matter how she much she guessed, she would never have guessed that the legendary Clown Pharmacist would actually turn out to be a recruit from the base!

She was no stranger to Steve, as she had witnessed him grow from an unknown soldier to the first recruit in the military base . Even many veterans were not Steve's matches, and Steve had also broken many records at the military base, so she knew that he was not to be underestimated .

"No! It's impossible! You and the Clown Pharmacist were on the stage at the same time! So, how could the both of you be the same person?" Wendy was extremely confused, as she had seen both the Clown Pharmacist and Steve appear at the same time!

In fact, many people had attested to the fact that these two were the same person in the past . But, just like Wendy, after seeing them both appear at the same time, everyone else had also dispelled that speculation as being a mere rumor .

But, after removing the Clown Pharmacist's mask, Wendy saw that it was indeed Steve's face beneath it! This result filled Wendy with doubt . She simply could not understand how, when both of them had obviously appeared at the same time in the past, before her eyes, they could be the same person .

As Wendy was frozen in shock, Steve noticed that her soul strength had recovered a little . The collapsing of her soul had stopped its progression!

This was a very good sign! Steve knew that it was very important for her to she keep this going!
