12 Chapter 10 World King

Chen Jin was dumbstruck. He couldn't process how exactly did he suddenly get a spirit ring for no apparent reason.

He shook his head as if to throw the bafflement away and breathed deeply.

Starting from the beginning, he was meditating, just enjoying and feeling the world around him and both absorbing spiritual energy from the air and sending a portion of that to his spirit, like he always does when he meditates for enjoyment, when his spirit stopped accepting more, not unlike when it first awakened.

The connection that he felt with it suddenly grew at a ridiculous pace, until it passed a certain point and now he feels like his spirit truly is his body, always there, always in use.

The boosts that he normally felt were enhanced, he feels a bit different, and went he opens his eyes there's a whitish yellow spirit ring in front of his face. Why?

It makes no sense, a spirit ring shouldn't just appear for no reason, even under these admittedly abnormal circumstances.

Chen Jin's mind was running a thousand miles an hour while looking at his spirit ring.

Thinking of spirit ring, what even Is his spirit ability? He questioned himself.

Chen Jin closed his eyes and tried to focus on his spirit ring, the knowledge came to mind instantly, as if he'd always known it.

The name of his spirit ability was 'One With The World' and it was always active, meaning it was a passive ability, even while his spirit ring wasn't shown.

As it was now, as a barely hundred year yellow spirit ring, it increased all his senses, with emphasis on his sense of the spiritual energy around him, as a side effect increasing his cultivation speed.

It allowed him to comprehend the world around a bit more easily, be it more common things like fire and light or conceptual things like karma. Of course, it was only a slight boost.

It allowed him to become one with the world at will, though not very thorough for now, and reduce his own presence.

And it also made it harder for other to do the same to him, making it harder to hide from him in his perception, that being absolutely impossible at less than one meter distance, no matter the strength and method used, the range of that impossible zone increased with the decrease of his opponents strength to a maximum of fifteen meters.

Even if someone tried to hide in space or shadows he would still know they were there!

Now that he focused on his spirit ring he actually knew what'd happened.

After he and his spirit basically became one, he gained the ability to condense his own spirit rings, very much like a transformed spirit beast, but they completely rely on his own comprehension, meaning that if his comprehension ability was worthless, and he couldn't find a spirit ability that meshed well with his spirit, he would be unable to get a spirit ring, if he could only barely do it the ability would be tremendously weak.

On the other side of the coin, as his comprehension of the skill in his spirit ring increased, so too did its age.

That explained how he got it. When he was meditating he was mostly feeling the world around him, letting himself get lost in it, he had been doing that for months, and he greatly enjoyed it. That was all the framework needed for his spirit ring.

He laughed, Chen Jin couldn't stop himself from doing it.

One of his greatest dilemmas, something that he thought about, thought he wanted to do, but had absolutely no idea of where to start when so many other people, some of them with undoubtedly more knowledge and resources than him failed before, solved by accident.

The world sometimes works in wondrous ways, he thought with a smile. It is said that luck is also a part of success for a reason after all.

His smile congealed on his face. He had absentmindedly checked what level his spirit power was at, how far he was from the next ring. He wasn't. It was at twenty.

That should not be possible, unless under extremely rare circumstances innate spirit power never passed rank ten... His... weren't normal were they? Enlightenment suddenly hit him.

He'd been absorbing spiritual power from the womb, even as he was being conceived, something that improved his growth and his the probable reason for his body spirit.

He'd also been sending spirit power into his spirit while it had been forming.

Body type spirits are well known for their ability to awaken a second time, it was actually rather probable that he had innately awakened his.

He did wonder that the boost it gave him was high. Uneven, too, it had a great focus on his senses compared to his physical might, from what he remembered of the full body spirits that appeared in canon they had greater focus on the physical body.

With all that and cultivating every day it did not seem as unlikely for that to happen.

As the thoughts went to his head he suddenly felt the need to give a special name to his spirit.

Chen Jin had referred to it simply as Spirit Body because he thought it to be that. But it very likely wasn't, therefore leaving it with the name of the normal Spirit Body didn't fit.

He thought of its characteristics. Its focus on his senses of the world around him, how he himself loved to just lose himself in his senses. And 'One with the World' his first spirit ring.

World King, that was going to be its name. A name to remember.
