Chapter 15: Characteristics Derived from the Evolution of Martial Spirit

Su Wen was very satisfied with the effects of the first Spirit Ring.

Firstly, this Spirit Ring, while transforming and improving his Martial Spirit's quality, also had a passive effect on Spirit Skills, enhancing his Martial Spirit.

It's just that the passive effect is not very obvious.

Of course, these are not the most important things. The most significant is that this Spirit Skill, when actively deployed, can greatly enhance Su Wen's Martial Spirit.

Directly strengthening it from the source.

It is equivalent to a transformation of Su Wen's Martial Spirit as if it had undergone a metamorphosis out of thin air.

"This is a Spirit Skill born from my development of Origin Soul Power to strengthen the Martial Spirit."

At this moment, Su Wen can be very certain that the theory of developing the Martial Spirit and guiding oneself to obtain corresponding Spirit Skills is correct.

"Besides the inherent effects of the Spirit Skill, this Spirit Ring's enhancement of my Martial Spirit, in addition to a significant improvement in its fundamental quality, shows the most noticeable increase in hardness and toughness. Clearly, it is also related to my usual development. So let's call it First Spirit Skill: Enhancement!"

The yellow Spirit Ring shimmered brightly.

Su Wen activated his First Spirit Skill.

Immediately, he felt his Soul Power rapidly depleting, merging into the Martial Spirit Space and blending into his Martial Spirit.

The Soul Power seemed to return to its origin, integrating into the Martial Spirit.

Moreover, the enhancement was even more apparent than that of Origin Soul Power, with a significant magnitude.

"The characteristics of the Book Martial Spirit are also apparent after this transformation."

Regardless of the type of Spirit Ring, purely after the small evolution of Su Wen's Martial Spirit, it naturally acquired some traits of the Book Martial Spirit.

"This skill seems to be enhancing my wisdom!"

Su Wen felt his rapidly operating brain, a clarity washing over him.

His eyes emitted a radiant light of wisdom as he looked at the book in his hands.

The Book Martial Spirit merged into the book, significantly boosting his digestion speed.

Just one minute later, a thick set of information was completely absorbed by him.

"It's not about making me smarter but making me more rational and clear-headed when thinking, with a faster brain processing speed."

Basicaly, he can think more in less time rather than understand anything at a glance. But he can make up for the efficiency gap with quantity over quality.

"For me, it's enough."

About ten percent of his Soul Power was consumed as he continued reading the materials.

...

Ten minutes passed.

Su Wen's Soul Power was depleted, but he was full of energy.

"This efficiency is too high."

This was just in the realm of pure learning.

"The First Spirit Skill provides all-around enhancement, applicable even in combat."

In the past ten minutes, rather than experiencing the effects of the First Spirit Skill, Su Wen felt the awakening of new characteristics in his Martial Spirit after its evolution.

Even now, with his Soul Power depleted, Su Wen could sense that his learning speed far surpassed what it was before obtaining the Spirit Ring.

"The most important aspect of this characteristic for me is that it makes it easier for me to access spiritual power."

Su Wen was well aware that this Martial Spirit characteristic was definitely related to spiritual power.

From the moment he felt the changes in the Martial Spirit in this aspect, he already had the direction for the second Spirit Ring in his mind.

Spiritual attribute!

After laying the foundation, there's no need to rush into considering combat techniques.

"It's not a big problem if I lag behind a bit on the first and second Spirit Rings. As long as I can use these two opportunities to solidify my foundation, by the time the thousand-year Spirit Ring and ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring come, I'll be able to obtain better Spirit Skills with a stronger foundation. At the same time, I can better unleash the effects of my Spirit Skills in the future"

...

In the blink of an eye, the seven-day vacation passed.

Su Wen returned to Nuoding City's Primary Spirit Master Academy.

"Now my cultivation speed has greatly improved, and I have hopes of reaching level twenty within two years."

Su Wen's Soul Power cultivation speed has never been slow from the beginning due to the strength of his spiritual power. The speed of refining the qi of heaven and earth has always been fast.

CCoupled with external training and the exploration of increasingly perfect soul power operation routes, his cultivation speed was already outstanding among his peers.

Now, with the evolution of his Martial Spirit, he has received a fundamental improvement in his aptitude, and the advantage of his spiritual power is even more evident.

The development of both internal and external skills needs to be accelerated. Joining Spirit Hall has provided Su Wen with genuine knowledge reserves. It is no longer purely theoretical research based on imagination but rather supported by data, with a substantial amount of 'common sense' that can be directly applied.

...

Back at the academy, Su Wen entered the cultivation mode again, until Tang San broke through to level twenty, preparing to obtain his second Spirit Ring.

Room 7.

"Xiao San, your cultivation speed is too fast, isn't it?" exclaimed Wang Sheng and others.

It has been just over two years since entering the Nuoding Academy. Upon careful calculation, Tang San is only eight years old, still not nine yet.

An eight-year-old Spirit Grandmaster!

Deep envy was evident in Wang Sheng's eyes.

Looking at Su Wen, who was still obviously meditating, he sighed.

"Su Wen's cultivation speed is not slow either. He should be close to breaking through to level twenty as well."

Su Wen is two years older than Tang San, making him at least ten years old now. In comparison to the awe-inspiring eight-year-old Spirit Gandmaster Tang San, Su Wen seems much more ordinary. Of course, Tang San has not yet obtained his second Spirit Ring, so he cannot be considered a true Spirit Grandmaster yet.

"Xiao Wu, tomorrow I will go hunt for Spirit Rings with my teacher. Don't cause any trouble in the academy," Tang San affectionately advised Xiao Wu.

"..."

"Su Wen, let's celebrate. Will you join us?" Wang Sheng approached Su Wen and asked.

Opening his eyes, Su Wen shook his head.

"Alright."

Wang Sheng and the others left, leaving Su Wen alone.

"It's been two years since I obtained the first Spirit Ring. My Soul Power has also broken through level twenty," Su Wen muttered to himself.

Su Wen obtained his first Spirit Ring about half a year later than Tang San. After acquiring the Spirit Ring, Su Wen was only at level twelve, while Tang San was at level thirteen.

However, the time it took for Su Wen to break through level twenty was nearly the same as Tang San.

"Perhaps it's the Blue Silver Grass's Martial Spirit that slowed down Tang San's progress, not my exceptional abilities," Su Wen warned himself. "My talent still needs improvement; there's room for further advancement."

With the experience from the last time, Su Wen doesn't plan to hastily obtain his second Spirit Ring.

According to the Master's theory, the maximum age limit for acquiring the second Spirit Ring is seven hundred and sixty-four years.

"This timeframe is just data to prevent being slapped in the face"

Different Spirit Masters have different physical conditions, and the essence of the Spirit Ring from different Spirit Beasts also has an impact.

Therefore, seven hundred and sixty-four years is just a limit to prevent the body from exploding for a normal Spirit Masters during the absorption period.

"My Martial Spirit isn't suitable for body forging, but I have been consistently exercising my body. With a combination of internal and external training, my body is strong in all aspects."

Most importantly, he found a technique to enhance the age limit when he absorbed his first Spirit Ring.

"All in all, even if my second Spirit Ring can't absorb a thousand years, it can withstand at least nine hundred years!"

Nine hundred years, along with Su Wen's guidance and sufficiently accumulated Origin Soul Power. The improvement of the Martial Spirit with the second Spirit Ring will be no less than that of a thousand-year Spirit Ring!

"So, I can graduate early."
