Chapter 13 Soul Skills
Three hours later.
Shi Yi could clearly feel that the external energy infusion had disappeared, and then Shi Yi slowly opened his eyes.
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San also came over curiously after sensing Shi Yi's movement. Shi Yi slowly stood up. After absorbing the soul ring, he felt as if he had been reborn. His body grew taller, and the world in his eyes seemed to become clearer. Perhaps this is the feeling of a genius?
Vitality, internal content, clear ears and eyes, and full spirit.
"How do you feel?" Yu Xiaogang's voice sounded in Shi Yi's ears.
Shi Yi looked at his hands and said in disbelief: "It feels good, extremely good. My body seems to have undergone unprecedented changes, and the whole world seems to have become different."
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and said with emotion: "Xiaoyi, congratulations, you succeeded."
Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang in confusion, and Shi Yi smiled and nodded. Indeed, he succeeded. He successfully broke the shackles of soul masters being restricted by innate soul power.
How could Yu Xiaogang not understand Shi Yi's feelings? Shi Yi was different from Tang San. For Tang San, who was very talented, absorbing spirit rings was just to obtain some characteristics, a spirit skill, and a spirit infusion for his martial spirit.
For Shi Yi, it was a completely different concept. A spirit master with low innate spirit power was limited by his talent. Each spirit ring had a very precious meaning. The spirit ring had a great impact on the transformation of the spirit master's body. For a spirit master with strong talent, it was only a very small improvement, but for Shi Yi, who was only at the first level of innate spirit power, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a transformation.
The role of the twelve meridians was just to comb the meridians, but the spirit rings improved the spirit master in an extremely comprehensive way.
Yu Xiaogang himself had experienced this feeling.
"What spirit skills did you get?" Yu Xiaogang asked with a smile.
Shi Yi showed a helpless look and said: "What other soul skills can Qianjun Ant give? It can increase the power by 150%. "
Hearing Shi Yi's words, Tang San couldn't help but be shocked. His strength soared by more than double in an instant. His first soul skill was just to make his martial soul attached with a strong sharp aura. He secretly said in his heart: "Why doesn't senior brother look very happy."
Yu Xiaogang nodded and said: "Yes, although the status skills are not too good for living martial souls, at least Qianjun Ant is compatible with your martial soul and the value given is high enough."
Tang San said to Yu Xiaogang: "Teacher, isn't this skill powerful?"
Yu Xiaogang also saw Tang San's doubts and explained: "If Xiaoyi's martial soul is a normal beast martial soul, it has the state of possession. This skill is undoubtedly a powerful skill. While the value is high, as a low-level spirit skill, it consumes less spirit power. However, it is relatively ordinary when used on a living mutant martial spirit. For example, if Xiao Yi fights a normal beast spirit master, the opponent he faces is in the state of beast spirit possession. Even if Xiao Yi's power doubles due to the increase of the martial spirit, he can't defeat the spirit master with beast spirit possession. If the opponent also has the same increase state skill, it's even more so. "
Tang San's face showed a look of sudden realization. If Shi Yi also has the same martial arts as him, the effect of this 150% power is naturally self-evident, but his senior brother is just a normal child, and it is indeed not as practical as a normal attack spirit skill.
"However, Xiao Yi also has his own burst period. If Xiao Yi can cultivate to Soul Saint, he can exert great power as his martial spirit continues to grow. Xiao San, do you know what the principle of hunting spirit beasts in the spirit master world is?" Yu Xiaogang said to Tang San.
Tang San shook his head. Yu Xiaogang pointed at the dean and said, "I asked the dean to hunt a hundred-year-old soul beast for you. The hundred-year-old soul beast corresponds to the level of soul master and great soul master. If you want to take down a hundred-year-old soul beast without any risk, you must at least cross one level. If Xiao Yi can cultivate to the level of soul saint, with the characteristics of living martial spirit cooperation in combat, it will be difficult for someone of the same level to defeat your senior brother."
Tang San nodded slightly and said secretly in his heart, "Indeed, it is difficult for humans to defeat soul beasts of the same level in terms of external conditions such as size and strength. Even the dean's martial spirit configuration is not the best soul ring combination. Senior brother's martial spirit advantage will be extremely prominent at a high level, because a high level means higher intelligence, larger size, stronger strength and speed."
If facing a battle with twin martial spirits is like the opponent having two powerful weapons, then a situation like Shi Yi is more like facing a battle with two opponents.
Yu Xiaogang thought about it and saw a flash of expectation in Shi Yi's eyes. He had studied his martial soul for so many years. For the first time, he saw the power of his martial soul from Shi Yi. He wanted to know if Shi Yi could use his wisdom and knowledge to strengthen himself and turn Xiaoyi from a martial soul into a real martial soul with thoughts.
Shi Yi was lost in thought at this time. The example Yu Xiaogang gave just now gave him some inspiration. Since normal beast souls have the ability to possess, can living martial souls obtain the skill of beast soul possession through other means? Or the ability?
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Yu Xiaogang's voice sounded in Shi Yi's ears, pulling Shi Yi back to reality.
"I was thinking that since normal beast souls can possess, it makes no sense that living beast souls with higher intelligence cannot possess. If we really can't possess, can we use other means or methods to complete the possession of living beast souls? For example, learning, spirit ring skills, spirit bone skills..." Shi Yi slowly put forward his ideas.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up when he heard this. This is indeed a good research direction.
"Okay, let's go back first. You can go back and study this problem carefully." Yu Xiaogang said to Shi Yi.
Tang San looked at Shi Yi's eyes and saw a gleam of light. He secretly said in his heart: "Senior brother's ideas are always so unexpected, but they make people feel that they are not impossible to achieve. Senior brother is indeed sharp in theoretical research that ordinary people can't reach."
Shi Yi also nodded slightly.
Then everyone cleaned up the surroundings and went out of the forest. Soon, they came to the bustling market and rented a carriage to the direction of Notting City.
The next day, everyone returned to Notting City in the morning.
"Xiao Yi, Xiao San, you can go to Notting City now and have a soul master appraisal there. First, test your soul power. In addition, it is also considered to be officially registered in the Wuhun Hall. You can receive monthly subsidies in the future. In this way, you will have your own income and don't have to work as a part-time student anymore." Yu Xiaogang said to Shi Yi and Tang San.
Tang San nodded slightly, Shi Yi said with deep meaning: "Teacher, you won't be bankrupted by me, right? Is it reasonable for a disciple of a great master like you to receive the Soul Master subsidy?"
Yu Xiaogang's face darkened, and he said: "It's up to you whether to go or not. One gold soul coin a month, ten for a great soul master, and one hundred for a soul master."
Tang San's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was short of money when he was making hidden weapons. Shi Yi smiled and said: "Go, just kidding, it's a waste if you don't take it. Suddenly I feel that it's not bad to stay in the Soul Master. One hundred gold soul coins a month."
Yu Xiaogang's face darkened when he heard this. He suddenly felt that he shouldn't tell Shi Yi about the soul master subsidy.
"You are familiar with Notting City, take Xiao San with you." Yu Xiaogang said to Shi Yi unhappily.
After that, Tang San followed Shi Yi down from the carriage.
Shi Yi did not take Tang San directly to the Spirit Hall but wandered around the city. Tang San, realizing this, could not help but get a little anxious.
"Brother, let's go to the Spirit Hall as soon as possible." Tang San said to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi smiled and put his arm around Tang San's shoulders and said jokingly: "What? Do you miss your girlfriend?"
Tang San was slightly startled, but in his mind, he saw Xiao Wu making the bed for them. He subconsciously dodged and said, "...what girlfriend?"
Tang San stuttered slightly when he asked back, and there was a tremor in his voice, and a blush gradually climbed onto Tang San's young face.
Seeing Tang San like this, Shi Yi couldn't help laughing and didn't say anything more.
After a simple stroll in Notting City for a while, Shi Yi suddenly felt bored. Compared with modern society, this world is still far behind in terms of civilization.
Shi Yi simply took Tang San directly to the branch of the Spirit Hall in Notting City.
On the Douluo Continent, whether it is the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Hall in any city will be the iconic building of the city.
As a person who has received modern education, Shi Yi naturally understands the role of these Spirit Halls. The most direct role is to rely on their own huge power to plunder local resources.
In fact, the Spirit Hall has developed to this extent, and it has unified the continent in a sense. There is a Spirit Hall in almost every city. The conflicts between the two empires are also mediated by the Spirit Hall. It can use its own power to interfere in the internal affairs of the two empires at will, which shows how powerful it is.
Many people say that it is a good thing for Bibi Dong to unify the continent, but Shi Yi has a different view. Whether it is good to unify the continent depends on Bibi Dong's purpose.
The essence of soul masters is a group of people who do not produce but have extraordinary power. If the continent is compared to a piece of cake, the Spirit Hall is the one who eats the biggest piece and does not work.
In Shi Yi's cognition, soul masters are busy practicing, and no one talks about developing productivity. How can the subsidies given to soul masters be supported by the Spirit Hall's own territory?
If Bibi Dong wants to unify the continent and reasonably use the power of soul masters to develop productivity, then unification is a good thing. On the contrary, if it is just for her own sake, then there is not much progress. On the contrary, war will cause more deaths.
In Shi Yi's opinion, the current way of Spirit Hall distributing dividends in the mainland is already very good. There is no need to govern the country or develop the local area. It only needs to wait for money and people. If it is not for the purpose of making society more progressive, Shi Yi believes that from the perspective of power development, if it continues to develop in the current mode, Spirit Hall will still be the most powerful force in ten thousand years.
Thinking of this, Shi Yi glanced at Tang San. Of course, the only variable is his cheap junior brother. Even if Bibi Dong does not have the idea of unifying the mainland, Tang San will choose to destroy Spirit Hall after gaining power. After all, the contradiction between Tang San and Spirit Hall is essentially irreconcilable, so there is naturally no right or wrong.
"I don't know which side I will stand on in the end." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.
In fact, Shi Yi thought about this problem a long time ago, but he understood that he was insignificant and could not change anyone. Coming to Yu Xiaogang and Tang San was also a matter of fate. Because he knew there were benefits here, so he came here. This was all arranged by fate. As for how fate would arrange things in the future, he didn't know. Even if he knew Tang San's growth process and the direction of everything about Tang San, he couldn't predict what he would choose in the future.
"Stop. Two children, this is the Spirit Hall. Don't barge in." Shi Yi and Tang San were stopped by the guard at the door as soon as they arrived at the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall in Notting City is a huge dome building. The width of the front alone is more than 100 meters, and it is 20 meters high. It is divided into three floors. The whole building is brown, and there is only a long sword on the Spirit Hall logo on the front door.
"Uncle, hello, he and I are both students of Notting Soul Master Academy. The teacher asked me to come here to evaluate the spirit level." Shi Yi said, pointing to his school uniform.
Seeing the logo of Notting Academy on Shi Yi and Tang San's uniforms, the guard who spoke earlier nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Then you can go in. Go to the reception hall on the first floor and find the great spirit master Mashunuo there. He will help you."
"Thank you." Shi Yi agreed and walked slowly into the Spirit Hall with Tang San.
There were not many people in the Spirit Hall. Soon, Shi Yi asked and took Tang San to find the master Mashunuo mentioned by the guard.
After a brief greeting, the two began to measure their spirit power.
Soon, the two got the results. Tang San was at level 33 spirit power, while Shi Yi was only at level 12 spirit power.
Seeing that the two were young, Mashunuo naturally extended an olive branch. Shi Yi and Tang San also rejected Mashunuo as students of Notting City Junior Spirit Master Academy, and left after receiving their own subsidies.
After leaving, Shi Yi also took Tang San back to the academy. When they were about to arrive at the academy, Tang San suddenly stopped.
Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong...
Not far away, there was a tall but rough house with a hammer logo, and rhythmic knocking sounds kept coming from it. This was a blacksmith shop.
Blacksmith shop, Tang San couldn't help but think of his father's words. Tang Hao once told him that he would find a blacksmith shop to work in to supplement his life.
"Why? Xiao San, do you want to be a blacksmith?" Shi Yi chuckled.
Tang San nodded slightly and said, "Blacksmithing is a craft I learned from my father, and I don't want to give it up."
Shi Yi nodded slightly and said, "Well, I'm also interested."
Hearing this, Tang San looked surprised and said, "Isn't theoretical research what you like most?"
Shi Yi patted Tang San on the shoulder and said, "Little Junior Brother, everything in this world has its own value, and blacksmithing is the same. Senior Brother also wants you to teach me how to blacksmith."
After saying that, Shi Yi smiled and headed towards the direction of Notting College. Seeing this, Tang San also trotted to follow.
