Soul Skills and External Soul Bone

The next day, Wu Tong got up early and went to the Library.

He found an empty table and took out paper and a pen. He listed his situation in detail.

Name: Wu Tong

Knowledge: Beginner (currently studying)

Martial Soul: Body Martial Soul · Brain

Martial Soul Traits: clear Spiritual Intelligence, able to effectively resist spiritual power; spiritual power greatly increased; improves Wisdom, comprehension, and speed of thought

Spirit Ring: Spirit Detection · yellow hundred-year Spirit Ring (around five-hundred-year Mind's Eye Golden Fox)

Soul Bone: External Soul Bone · Mind's Eye

Gains from this hunt: martial soul Source slightly improved; memory greatly improved, already obtained Absolute Memory; one five-hundred-year Spirit Ring; one External Soul Bone · Mind's Eye; combat experience slightly increased; wilderness survival ability greatly improved.

Afterward, Wu Tong carefully scanned every word. The ability of Absolute Memory engraved all the information into his Brain, and as long as Wu Tong focused on it, the information would surface.

After memorizing what was on the paper, Wu Tong lit the note and burned it to ashes.

That was right. During the three days on the road, Wu Tong had already figured out the situation with his martial soul, Spirit Ring, and soul bone.

First was his martial soul. After being strengthened by the Mind's Eye Golden Fox Spirit Ring, his martial soul had undergone some evolution. His thoughts were sharper, his Brain operated faster, and his already powerful computing ability had once again improved by twenty percent.

At the same time, influenced by the traits of the Mind's Eye Golden Fox, his Brain Martial Soul had also gained the ability of Absolute Memory, achieving the fundamental goal of this hunt—improving his memory.

Just this alone meant this hunt had already been worth it.

Then came the Spirit Ring. The five-hundred-year Mind's Eye Golden Fox's Spirit Ring had provided Wu Tong with the Spirit Detection Soul Skill. Through this Soul Skill, he could use his vast spiritual power to probe the surrounding environment.

He could even explore the structural composition of objects. In other words, Wu Tong could use this Soul Skill to detect the structure of Tang San's mechanical hidden weapons and then replicate them. This effect could be said to be one of the Soul Skills most suited for research.

Moreover, because it required soul power and spiritual power to work together, its consumption of soul power was extremely low. As for spiritual power...

Uh, Wu Tong only wanted to say: did you misunderstand the spiritual power of a Transmigrator who had lived two lives? ㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏ

After testing it several times, Wu Tong discovered that he could keep this Soul Skill active for one hour.

Wu Tong's evaluation of this was: an unexpected joy.

Finally, there was the greatest gain of this hunt, the External Soul Bone · Mind's Eye, which he had obtained completely by accident.

Obtaining the Mind's Eye could be said to be entirely unexpected. Even Wu Tong had not imagined that he would obtain an External Soul Bone that could grow infinitely, and it was even the head-type External Soul Bone most suited to him.

Over the past few days, Wu Tong had spent most of his time developing the Mind's Eye's abilities. After testing and development, he finally confirmed that the Mind's Eye's abilities were mainly divided into two types:

The first was the power of "observation." Observing all things, seeing with the heart and observing with the eyes, the Mind's Eye could observe all things. After activating the Mind's Eye, it could achieve five effects: X-ray vision, farsight, insight, illusion sight, and mind reading. Wu Tong named this ability "All-Encompassing View."

The second was the power of "sensing." It activated the sixth sense, allowing him to sense danger in advance, like a cicada knowing before the autumn wind stirred; it could also probe people's hearts and determine through perception whether the people around him held malice. Wu Tong named it "Direct Sense."

Wu Tong was extremely excited after learning the Mind's Eye's abilities. After all, as long as he had this, he could clearly distinguish who were friends and who were enemies.

After all, in his previous life, as a university homebody, Wu Tong had no experience struggling in society, and his social circle was also very small. It could be said that, like a true university student, his eyes held a clear and stupid innocence.

Even though Wu Tong had gained the Brain Martial Soul in this life, what improved was only his IQ, not his EQ. Without enough experience, Wu Tong still could not distinguish people's hearts. He had always been somewhat resistant when it came to making friends. After all, it was easy to paint skin and a tiger, but hard to paint bones; you could know a person's face but not their heart. He also did not know what the people who befriended him were truly after, so he simply stayed at home alone to cultivate, just like in his previous life.

But Wu Tong himself also knew that he could not stay shut in forever. After all, matters involving contact with major Factions would eventually have to be faced. Wu Tong, who feared being devoured clean by those old foxes, had always been worried about this matter.

And now that he had obtained the Mind's Eye, he finally no longer needed to worry about this matter. Direct Sense sensed good and evil, determining enemy and ally; All-Encompassing View went deep into people's hearts, understanding their thoughts. From now on, no one could lie in front of Wu Tong.

"It really is an unexpected surprise. This hunt was absolutely the right decision." After carefully going over his summary, Wu Tong could not help but feel satisfied with the gains from this hunt.

"But if I have this, then perhaps I..." Wu Tong's mind settled on the Mind's Eye's insight and X-ray vision.

That was right. Wu Tong planned to use this ability to steal Tang San's Tang Sect Manuals. After all, the Meditation Technique he was currently cultivating not only had many restrictions, but its efficiency in absorbing soul power was also low, while Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill not only cultivated quickly, it also did not have all sorts of restrictions.

As a Tang Sect Cultivation Technique, the Mysterious Heaven Skill not only possessed a complete meridian circulation route for internal strength cultivation, but as an orthodox Taoist Cultivation Technique, it also had the impartial, peaceful, all-embracing traits passed down through the Taoist lineage. After it was mastered, one's soul power became incomparably vigorous and flowed with Unceasing Life.

But to be honest, Wu Tong had always felt that the Mysterious Heaven Skill had been stolen by the Tang Sect. After all, how could an assassin organization, full of murderous killers, possess such an impartial and peaceful Cultivation Technique?

So Wu Tong was more inclined to believe that this was a Cultivation Technique the Tang Sect had seized after assassinating a Taoist expert. Later, it was directly placed inside the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, and then the people of the Tang Sect shamelessly claimed that it was a Tang Sect Cultivation Technique.

And Tang San had not been valued by Tang Hao since childhood. His food and drink had not been very good either, so he was definitely congenitally deficient due to malnutrition. For the congenitally deficient Tang San, his Innate Soul Power was at most around rank four or five.

Yet this congenitally deficient Tang San, despite possessing the Mysterious Heaven Skill while also working as a blacksmith and studying knowledge at the same time, still cultivated at a speed comparable to a genius with Innate Full Soul Power, and even surpassed one somewhat.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill had helped Tang San cross the limitations of aptitude. From this, it could be seen just how great a cultivation boost the Mysterious Heaven Skill could bring to a practitioner of the Cultivation Technique.

At the same time, as an internal strength Cultivation Technique from a martial arts world, the Mysterious Heaven Skill contained the Dao and principles of the martial cultivation system. It could bring Wu Tong more ideas and knowledge, helping Wu Tong understand the internal strength cultivation system in advance.

Moreover, Wu Tong planned to use the Mysterious Heaven Skill as a foundation. Perhaps he could create a cultivation method that belonged solely to himself. After all, people came in countless forms; everyone's physical condition was different, and the acupoints and Meridians within the body were not exactly the same either. Therefore, only oneself understood oneself better, and only what suited oneself was best.
