An Immature Idea

A few minutes later, Jiang Ming learned from Little Light the reason for its transformation.

Oh, Little Light was the name Jiang Ming had given the Light Spirit. He was hopeless at naming things, and after thinking it over, he still felt this name was the best.

While he was at it, Jiang Ming also gave names to the other little spirits.

They were Little Dark, Little Ice, and Little Spirit. These three spirits corresponded to the attributes of darkness, ice, and life respectively.

As for Little Light's change, according to its own explanation, once its soul ring age reached a certain stage, it would begin to evolve, and then it became like this.

Moreover, because the mass of light energy that helped it evolve contained a trace of dragon aura, the evolved Little Light seemed to have picked up certain draconic traits as well.

Aside from that, Little Light also gave Jiang Ming an answer to the question he cared about most.

Combat!

Little Light could now fight!

Previously, although the Book of Spirits Martial Soul could assist cultivation, the little spirits that emerged from it had almost only instinctive cultivation behavior. He couldn't even control the little spirits to fight.

But now, Little Light told him that it could already fight!

And it even had two skills!

That night, Jiang Ming did not sleep at all.

He even set cultivation aside and spent the entire night studying Little Light!

In the end, he reached a conclusion.

He was about to soar to the heavens!

That was right, he was about to soar to the heavens!

If before, his Soul Master cultivation had used the Golden Heart as his main offense and the Book of Spirits as support, then after Little Light's soul ring had upgraded to ten thousand years and gained combat power, that situation might be reversed.

Because after understanding it, Jiang Ming learned that Little Light's combat ability was directly linked to the soul ring it belonged to.

The soul ring Little Light belonged to was now ten thousand years, which meant Little Light could display combat strength at the level of a ten-thousand-year soul beast!

The combat strength of a ten-thousand-year soul beast!

Just relying on this alone, even without using the Golden Heart Martial Soul, without using soul tools, and ignoring the other little spirits, Jiang Ming could directly go head-to-head with Soul King-level Soul Masters!

And if the soul rings the other little spirits belonged to all broke through to ten thousand years, then even if he just stood there without moving, he would have four sources of combat strength at the level of ten-thousand-year soul beasts!

And as he continued cultivating, as his number of soul rings continued increasing, and as the ages of his soul rings continued rising, one day, when he broke through to Titled Douluo, all these soul rings could break through to the hundred-thousand-year level!

At that time, just by using the Book of Spirits Martial Soul, he would have nine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts behind him!

Paired with the Golden Heart, a martial soul that would become extremely powerful in close combat once it grew, as well as the soul tools he had accumulated...

Jiang Ming took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitement!

At this moment, he just wanted to ask one thing.

"Who else!!!"

"No, no, no. If I keep thinking like this, I'm really going to get carried away. I can't think about it anymore, I can't think about it anymore."

Jiang Ming hurriedly restrained his surging emotions, lest he get so excited he keeled over on the spot.

Although his future was promising, that was still the future, and it had not yet become reality. He could not let himself get carried away.

Jiang Ming warned himself in his heart.

Having strong talent was one thing. Having strong strength was another. He could not be impetuous.

After a long time, Jiang Ming calmed the surging emotions in his heart. The excitement in his eyes had already faded, replaced by a pair of calm eyes.

"Although I can't be impetuous, now that the Book of Spirits Martial Soul has undergone this change, the plan can be moved up..."

Jiang Ming sat on the bed and murmured softly.

He brushed his fingers over the Storage Soul Tool at his waist, and a small booklet appeared in his hand.

The booklet was the most ordinary, common notebook one could find on the market, but on the cover of this booklet were two large words.

Revenge!

When Jiang Ming saw those two large words on the booklet, his eyes instantly turned fierce.

"Zhao Ming, you'd better stay alive for me. I'll be coming to take your worthless life very soon!"

Opening the booklet, Jiang Ming stared at the first page for a long time. There were only two names inside, as well as some information related to those two names.

Jiang He, Chen Rou.

They were his parents in this life. When he was one year old, they had died in the war against the Sun Moon Empire. And the one who killed them was a Soul Saint in the Sun Moon Empire's army, the Zhao Ming Jiang Ming had just mentioned!

However, ten years had passed. Zhao Ming, who had been a Soul Saint back then, might already be a Soul Douluo now. If Jiang Ming wanted revenge, he still needed to wait, to keep waiting...

The next day, after finishing class, Jiang Ming went straight to the Soul Tool Department.

After Jiang Ming had taken him as his master yesterday, Mu En had said that from now on, he had to cultivate with him for at least one hour every day.

In that case, Jiang Ming's time had to be arranged even more tightly.

In a certain testing ground in the Soul Tool Department, Jiang Ming found Fan Yu.

"Yo, the Freshman Assessment champion is here!"

Fan Yu walked over, teasing him with a face full of smiles.

He had very high hopes for Jiang Ming. After all, his talent with soul tools was that good.

Unfortunately, the little guy's talent was simply too strong. His talent in martial souls was just as strong, so Fan Yu had no way of snatching him away from the Martial Soul Department.

Otherwise, no matter what, he would have brought Jiang Ming over to their Soul Tool Department!

"Teacher Fan Yu, please stop teasing me. I came today because there's something very important I need to tell you."

Jiang Ming scratched his head, then spoke with a serious expression.

"Something important?"

Fan Yu raised an eyebrow and immediately narrowed his eyes.

"Don't tell me you secretly became a Rank Five Soul Tool Master behind my back?"

Jiang Ming hurriedly waved his hands. How long had it been? There were still many Rank Four Soul Tools he had yet to study, so how could he possibly have become a Rank Five Soul Tool Master already?

Seeing Jiang Ming wave his hands, Fan Yu felt, for some reason, a little disappointed, yet also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a good thing that Jiang Ming was talented, but the pressure on him as his teacher was honestly a little much.

"All right, tell me. What important matter do you have?"

Fan Yu looked at Jiang Ming and said softly.

"Teacher Fan Yu, I have a rather immature idea."

Jiang Ming leaned a little closer and quietly told him the rather immature idea that had sprouted in his mind over the past few days.

At first, Fan Yu listened without taking it too seriously, but as he heard more, his expression became extremely solemn.

"Is this idea feasible?"

Fan Yu asked with a serious expression.

Jiang Ming shook his head and said, "The workload is too great, so I haven't tried it yet. And it would be very hard for me to work this out alone."

Fan Yu lifted his gaze slightly and smiled.

"So you want me to help you research this thing?"

Jiang Ming shook his head again and continued, "No, not just you. If it's only the two of us, the workload would still be far too great! I need everyone from the Soul Tool Department. At least more than five Rank Seven Soul Masters participating! Rank Six ones too, and Rank Five ones as well!"

Jiang Ming asked for an outrageous amount right off the bat, but Fan Yu's expression did not change.

If they truly wanted to realize Jiang Ming's idea, this amount of manpower was not too much at all. In fact, it was even too little!

After all, this kid's idea was to turn soul tools—especially Soul Cannonballs—into an "using tools to produce tools" production line!
