Any intelligent creature had the hope of awakening their psionic powers through the omnipresent spirit world and becoming a powerful psionic. There were Psionics who grasped elemental powers, Psionics who tempered their bodies, and Psionics who sublimated their souls. Among them, there were even a few psionics who had the hope of obtaining special knowledge from the spirit world and transforming it into their own talents. He had transmigrated to this world through land and air. Due to the transmigration, his soul was different from the rest. At the age of fifteen, he had awakened his psionic powers and became a spirit contract master who used the power of the soul to contract spiritual beasts and other living beings. He could even see the various knowledge contained in the spirit world when he awakened and broke through, and choose the talent he needed! [Perfect Body (Immortal): There is no limit to the strength of the body. As long as you train, you can continuously increase the strength of the body.] [God of War's Heart (Main God): Born for battle. The more you fight, the stronger you become.
