Twin Spirits, Innate Full Spirit Power

Unlike Qian Bing's shocked reaction, Su Yuntao frowned, secretly grumbling to himself:

What is this thing? A ball-shaped Tool Spirit? No matter how I look at it, it has no offensive power. Looks like a useless spirit.

His face clearly showed some disappointment, but out of professional ethics, he still intended to test Qian Bing's soul power level.

"This ball is your spirit. It falls under the category of Tool Spirits, but that does not necessarily mean you can cultivate it. After all, it does not seem to possess any offensive power. Now, use your thoughts to put your spirit away. I need to test your Innate Soul Power level."

Qian Bing nodded and focused all his attention on the Spirit Ball Spirit in his palm. Before long, he felt as though he had established a connection with it. With a thought, the Spirit Ball vanished from his palm.

Seeing this, Su Yuntao felt that Qian Bing's comprehension was fairly good. His Wolf Claw carried the crystal ball over and placed it before him.

"Place your right hand on the crystal ball."

Qian Bing obediently stretched out his small, childish hand and placed it on the crystal ball.

But the moment his palm touched its surface, his body jolted violently. He felt an enormous suction force emerge from the transparent blue crystal ball, as though it wanted to devour something within his body completely.

Qian Bing could not control it at all and could only allow the crystal ball to draw from him. Suddenly, the crystal ball flared with dazzling blue light, and in an instant, the entire sphere became as brilliant as a glittering gemstone.

At that moment, shock appeared on Su Yuntao's face as well. A strand of cyan light flowed from his Wolf Claw, separating Qian Bing's hand from the crystal ball.

"Innate Full Spirit Power!"

Qian Bing had long known what Innate Full Spirit Power meant, but in order not to stand out too much, he immediately put on a slightly puzzled expression and asked obediently:

"Uncle, what is Innate Full Spirit Power?"

Su Yuntao's view of Qian Bing had clearly changed by then. Seeing him ask, he began to explain seriously:

"When people awaken their spirits, aside from the spirit's form determining whether it is powerful, the amount of soul power is also extremely important.

Most people possess no soul power when they awaken. Without soul power, they cannot cultivate, which means they will never have any connection to becoming Soul Masters in their lives.

Only those born with soul power, even if it is only a trace, can cultivate through meditation.

However, one's Innate Soul Power at awakening is of the utmost importance. It determines a person's future cultivation speed—the higher the soul power, the faster the progress.

Innate Full Spirit Power is the highest level of soul power one can possess upon awakening. Someone with Innate Full Spirit Power is destined to be ahead of others on the path of Soul Master cultivation."

As Su Yuntao spoke, the look in his eyes grew increasingly serious. Yet when he thought of Qian Bing's spirit, he could not help feeling it was a pity.

After all, if a Tool Spirit had no offensive power, it was like an unsharpened blade. It simply could not kill soul beasts to obtain soul rings and advance. No matter how fast one cultivated, what use would it be?

Still, Su Yuntao ultimately did not give up on Qian Bing. He took a small token from his robe and placed it in Qian Bing's tiny hand.

"Your talent is rare even in a hundred years. Although your spirit has its flaws, I still think you deserve a chance. This is your admission token for Notting Academy. Go back and prepare. In a while, report there and enroll."

Before Qian Bing could even show his delight at those words, Qian Xiao, the village chief standing beside him, had already become incomparably excited.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! Peach Forest Village is finally going to produce another Soul Master. Xiao Bing, hurry and thank him!"

Qian Bing did not hesitate. He immediately bowed respectfully and gave Su Yuntao a deep salute.

Su Yuntao nodded with a faint smile.

"Cultivate well in the future. Do not bring shame upon me, the one who guided you. All right, go back and familiarize yourself with your spirit first."

Qian Bing thanked him again. Only after signaling to Qian Xiao with his eyes did he turn and leave.

The moment he left Spirit Hall, he headed straight for his dilapidated home. After entering and securely shutting the doors and windows, he impatiently spread both hands before his eyes.

"Innate Full Spirit Power... According to the tropes in the novels I read in my previous life, I should have another spirit."

With that thought, Qian Bing focused his mind on his left palm. Before long, a faint white glow appeared, and a wondrous spirit that looked seventy or eighty percent similar to his favorite handheld game console from his previous life truly appeared.

"It's the Spirit Illustrated Handbook!"

Qian Bing cried out in surprise.

He was far too familiar with this thing. Before transmigrating, he had been working hard to collect every Pokemon in the complete illustrated handbook.

But as spirits, one was a Spirit Ball and the other was a Spirit Illustrated Handbook. Neither seemed to have any offensive power. Qian Bing truly did not know whether he should be happy or sad.

"Sigh, the soul beasts of Douluo Continent aren't Pokemon. The Spirit Ball Spirit probably can't capture them."

Then what could the Spirit Illustrated Handbook Spirit do?

Could it inspect information about soul beasts? In any case, it was impossible to use it in a fight.

With that thought, Qian Bing's mood immediately sank. However, he quickly pulled himself together and consoled himself:

"It's fine. As a transmigrator, I should also have some standard golden finger that can let me soar to greatness."

"The protagonist's golden finger may be late, but it never fails to show up. That has to be it!"

Thinking this, Qian Bing felt much happier.

Not long after, Qian Xiao came to visit again, carrying fish, meat, and a bag of polished rice. After politely welcoming him inside, Qian Bing sat down with him beside the worn wooden table.

"Xiao Bing, you're nearly out of food at home, right? Grandma prepared these for you."

As Qian Xiao spoke, he pushed the items in front of Qian Bing.

Qian Bing did not refuse and quickly said, "Thank you."

"No need to thank me. Xiao Bing, becoming a Soul Master is something to be proud of. You're the pride of all Peach Forest Village. Grandpa ought to be thanking you instead, haha."

"Grandpa, please don't say that. If you hadn't all been so kind and taken care of me all this time, I wouldn't have made it to this day."

"Oh, enough of that. Grandpa came to tell you that this year, you're the only one in our village to receive an admission notice from Notting Academy. You need to prepare well these next few months. In three months, I'll take you to Notting City to register for school."

Having arrived on Douluo Continent six years ago, Qian Bing had looked forward most of all to becoming a Soul Master. Naturally, he was overjoyed to learn that in three months, he would officially begin studying the foundational knowledge of Soul Masters.

After Qian Xiao told him the news, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before Qian Xiao rose to take his leave.

After seeing Qian Xiao off, Qian Bing could no longer suppress his joy and anticipation. He summoned his two martial souls—the Spirit Ball and the Pokedex—and began studying them over and over.

However, before obtaining their first soul ring, martial souls possessed almost no special abilities.

Moreover, there were currently no soul beasts or similar targets for him to test the power of his martial souls on, so after examining them for a long while, Qian Bing still found no meaningful clues.

Before long, he felt a wave of dizziness in his head. He figured that continuously summoning his martial souls had consumed a great deal of Soul Power, leaving him mentally drained.

He quickly recalled both martial souls, hastily made himself a meal, then climbed into bed, intending to take an afternoon nap and recover his energy.
