Chapter 51: Surging Spiritual Energy

Excellent student?
Tom really wanted to ask Du Mu if he made any typos.

You inexplicably want me to resurrect in place of your original body, and let me devour your spiritual energy at will, just to gain a good disciple?

Tom would never believe such a thing.

However, due to lack of information, he couldn't figure out the other party's real purpose no matter how hard he tried.

But now that things have come to this, there is actually nothing to hesitate about.

The two most important secrets, that he is a Horcrux and that he can devour the user's spiritual energy, have been exposed. It is just as the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class said, there is no need to hide it anymore.

Even...if possible, the wisest decision would be to completely devour the opponent right now!
[Okay, Professor Doom, thank you for your hard work. ]

After a hypocritical polite remark, Tom immediately mobilized all the magic power of the Horcrux and frantically devoured Du Mu's spiritual energy!
In the diary, Tom's soul showed a hideous smile.

Don't you want me to devour you? Okay, I'll do as you wish.

You decide when to start...but I decide when to end!

In an instant, Du Mu felt his spiritual power growing at an extremely fast speed! Filling up!
Since Du Mu had never come across such a simple and direct method to improve his mental strength, he found it difficult to measure the extent of his own improvement.

But... the whole world seemed to slow down.

All the sounds of the wind, the sounds of teaching in the backyard, the children's heartbeats, and the sounds of insects burrowing in the soil.

Originally, Du Mu could hear these things by using his magic power to enhance his hearing.

But now, Du Mu can process all the above information at the same time without any obstacles.

Raising his hand slightly, Du Mu immediately felt a slight sense of awkwardness.

The arm was a moment slower than expected before it accepted the command and raised itself up.

At this moment, the body that has been well-trained is lagging behind the will that has never been specially trained.

Well, I used the tenfold feedback from the [Gift] some time ago to increase the energy in my body, and I really neglected physical exercise.

But you cannot be negligent. After all, the refinement of the physical body cannot be accomplished overnight. At the beginning, of course, you should choose the initiation that progresses quickly to improve your hard power first.

Du Mu looked towards the backyard. Although the Military Academy blocked his view, the sound of the wind caused by the children's body movements alone was enough to create a complete three-dimensional picture in his mind.

Not to mention knowing who is where, you can even tell what posture is just by listening.

His attention was focused on Harry, who was taking the same class with him.

As a British student who had just graduated from elementary school, Harry's learning progress was faster than those around him, but not by much. By listening to Banner's lectures, he did not fall behind in the scientific knowledge of the Muggle world.

Bruce is busy managing Gotham's affairs. Tom is just a diary. The other children are disabled and need prosthetic limbs to move around.

So Du Mu’s only choice was Harry.

Therefore, Harry will face the triple learning of Muggle science, martial arts training and magical knowledge.

I hope he can feel the joy of progress from this.

Tom felt as if his rotten soul was soaked in warm water.

He was like a sponge, greedily swallowing the surrounding sea water endlessly.

The pain Tom suffered from a split soul was as bad as the word sounded.

The process of making a Horcrux is no less painful than death. The only advantage is that after enduring the pain, it can ensure that the original soul will not be taken to the underworld due to incompleteness, leading to true and complete demise.

But a broken soul will never feel warmth, coziness and comfort again.

It was like Tantalus in Greek mythology, who was thirsty to the bone, but always felt uncomfortable because there was no spring water for his soul to drink. At this moment, he finally got the spring water that could relieve his soul.

As the devouring continued, Tom even had the illusion that his soul was becoming whole again.

This feeling fascinated him, and even made him feel a little regretful... If he really killed the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts by eating his soul, when would the next target appear?
But gradually, Tom finally felt something was wrong.

This uneasiness spread gradually, from initial doubt, to disbelief, to shock, to almost insane fear.

No, something's wrong.

Why, why does this man still look so calm and composed?

In the original book, the reason why Tom spent a whole year to slowly devour Ginny's mental power was not for her sake.

A person's spirit will slowly recover with rest and eating. Completely devouring a person's mental strength is actually not as good as taking in a portion of it every day within a month.

At this moment, Tom felt that he was even stronger than when his soul was split just now. The total amount of spiritual power of this soul fragment was more than twice that of the original body...

In fact, he can already condense a concrete image in the outside world and even cast spells to a certain extent.

But Tom didn't dare.

He was really frightened.

No one knew better than him, the initiator, how huge the amount he had consumed was.

At the very least, if that was the last time he contacted me and gave me to his subordinates for safekeeping, he would have definitely died twice.

But the other party...remains unmoved.

Incomprehensible and indescribable.

Is this really human?
Isn't this a dragon, or some other magical animal transformed into a human?
Tom thought to himself, your mental power is so great that even a simple mental shock is enough to destroy a person's will. How dare you ask me before if there is any way to completely destroy a soul?

Of course there is, you just need to crush the other person with your soul.

Gradually, Du Mu felt that the growth of his mental strength was becoming weaker and weaker.

He couldn't help but frown in dissatisfaction. The powerful but not well-controlled mental force instantly spread his emotions, and the chirping of insects and birds within a radius of dozens of meters immediately fell silent.

Banner in the classroom also stopped talking, feeling inexplicably irritated... and instinctively afraid?

The children around him didn't feel anything, but Harry covered his forehead and grimaced.

For some reason, his lightning scar suddenly hurt for a moment.

The incense master in the skull, which had originally condensed into a human form, suddenly dissipated like a punctured balloon and turned into a ball of translucent mist.

The outline of the incense master's face could be seen in the mist. He seemed to be screaming silently, but too frightened to make any sound.

But the strongest feeling was from the source of dissatisfaction, the soul of Tom Riddle in the diary.

With a whoosh, Tom's figure appeared in the training ground.

He wanted to instinctively point his wand at Du Mu, but Voldemort obviously did not provide any support for his sixteen-year-old self.

So Tom quickly withdrew his hand and looked at Du Mu who was sitting behind the table. A flash of lightning flashed in his mind and he came up with an idea. He suddenly lowered his head and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you! Professor Doom, thank you for your generosity. I seem to have become a complete soul again!"

"Next, all it takes is a small ceremony, and I will be able to truly be resurrected and become your loyal apprentice and disciple!"

His tone was excited, as if he was really surprised.

But the uneasiness in his heart made him feel that he might as well stay in the diary.
