Faith Intercepted (Please Vote!!!)

Du Busi drew in a sharp breath.

Su Ming's Soul Skill mechanics were simply outrageous.

Once he obtained a Soul Ring that amplified Soul Power, it directly became a passive effect that enhanced him at all times. The key was that it encompassed all three means of Soul Power Amplification.

It seemed like only a low percentage, but in reality, his amplifications stacked and multiplied.

A thirty percent increase meant his total amount became 1.3 times the original, while its quality also became 1.3 times the original. As a result, his normal Soul Power at this level was already 1.69 times what it should have been. When he truly used it, the consumption was only 0.7, which was another indirect boost, making it equivalent to 2.4 times.

Moreover, this was compared to the Soul Power he would normally have at the corresponding level, not that of an ordinary Soul Master.

He already possessed a Soul Power Martial Soul, giving him an advantage in Soul Power, and he had absorbed Soul Rings beyond his level, receiving enormous feedback to his Soul Power.

Under such circumstances, a seemingly mere thirty percent increase was no less than raising his Soul Power by one hundred and forty percent!

And that was only the passive effect of his First Soul Skill. Its active use was even more absurd—fifty percent, which, after a series of calculations, was equivalent to a three hundred and fifty percent increase!

Now that the passive effect of his Second Soul Skill had emerged, it could stack once more.

"The added star attribute is no less than doubling Soul Power Quality."

Su Ming said, "But so far, my Soul Skills have only made my Soul Power more outrageous. I don't have any direct Power Attack System Soul Skills."

"With that much Soul Power, once you pair it with Soul Tools, you can output freely against opponents of the same rank," Su Can said. "Even with a Soul Cannon, you can greatly reduce many of its cumbersome magic arrays and shorten both the wind-up and recovery."

"The Body Sect has plenty of Battle Techniques as well. You won't lack combat methods in the future," Du Busi added.

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling that Su Ming was simply too suited to their system.

With that much Soul Power, while other Soul Masters could only fire one Soul Cannon shot, he could fire ten in one go!

And he would not even be drained afterward.

With the Soul Core Prototype and his Second Soul Skill restoring Soul Power through starlight, he could replenish it rapidly as well.

"The gap between your Soul Power and that of Soul Masters at the same rank is far too outrageous. Even I find it alarming. I estimate that your Martial Soul's Second Awakening will be very difficult, so you must prepare in advance. You need to master all kinds of Battle Techniques proficiently, even to the point of perfection, fully excavating the traits of your Soul Power. Ideally, you should be able to casually produce all sorts of effects with Soul Power," Du Busi said. "Fortunately, you have enough Soul Power now, so you can train in most Battle Techniques."

Su Ming's face fell.

It was time to train in Battle Techniques.

That would demand a great deal of his energy, but even so, he had to train. This was the effort he had to put in for choosing the Soul Power Amplification path. Otherwise, he would have abundant Soul Power without any explosive force, becoming a typical Soul Engineer.

He was probably about to enter the harshest and most exhausting stage.

Dou San.

Skysea City.

Within Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness.

Su Ming shouted wildly.

"You idiot, stop eating everything you see!"

He stared at the Light Cluster before him and kept pounding it, trying to make it spit out the Faith Power it had swallowed.

"Spit it out already! That stuff is poisonous. It's bad for you."

The Light Cluster expanded, pushing Su Ming away. It wriggled a few times, seemingly turning its back on him, and fragmented thoughts drifted out.

"Not listening, not listening..."

"Two-legged beasts are so stingy. They won't share good things."

Su Ming froze.

He stared at the Light Cluster, a trace of surprise flashing through his eyes.

It already had such complete consciousness?

After his surprise passed, he found it reasonable. The current Light Cluster was already equivalent to a Millennium Soul Beast, and it had been born in spiritual form. It was understandable for it to possess sufficient Spirituality at the millennium stage.

"You can't absorb Faith Power recklessly," Su Ming said helplessly, explaining it to the Light Cluster.

"It tastes good. It helps me too."

Another strand of thought emerged from within the Light Cluster.

After receiving that information, Su Ming no longer insisted that the Light Cluster spit out the Faith Power.

His expression turned strange.

"A Soul Spirit..."

Could this little fellow have the potential to become the Spirit God?

"Does the power you just ate benefit you?"

"Tastes good. Grow bigger."

Su Ming understood.

It was treating Faith Power as the spiritual energy of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

As he was processing that realization, he suddenly froze.

Faith Power could serve as spiritual energy?

"Are you sure your cultivation has increased?" Su Ming asked.

"Coming out soon."

More thoughts came from the Light Cluster.

Coming out soon?

Was it about to be born?

Su Ming was delighted.

In that case, would it be equivalent to being born with a thousand years of cultivation?

It was clear that his Soul Spirit was absolutely at the level of a Super Soul Beast. Moreover, it could absorb the Faith Power belonging to the Soul Spirit's creator, so it likely possessed some special abilities as well.

"Then I'll try to prepare more of this power for you."

Su Ming was not stingy.

As for the Divine Throne of the Spirit God, he could claim it, but he could also choose not to. Letting his Soul Spirit occupy it would be an excellent choice too.

As for himself, he still had many opportunities. After all, this era no longer had the God Realm suppressing it from above. He could experiment freely, and with Dou Er's Su Ming, he could use the evolution of time to obtain the corresponding Rank with relative ease.

Time passed.

The Su Mings across all three points in time entered periods of arduous cultivation.

Dou San's Su Ming spent every day studying how to move the existing Faith Power into his Sea of Consciousness more quickly to feed his Soul Spirit. Besides that, he continued studying the theories of Forging, mecha design, manufacturing, and repairs, providing theoretical support for the Su Mings of Dou Yi and Dou Er.

Dou Er's Su Ming returned to the Body Sect and negotiated with the Star Tree while attempting Thousand Forgings with Spirit. After only five attempts, he successfully replicated Dou Yi Su Ming's achievement, completing Thousand Forgings First Grade in the era of Dou Er. Under Du Busi's guidance, he also gradually and swiftly got the hang of the Body Sect's Battle Techniques.

Dou Yi's Su Ming forged together with Little Gold every day, becoming increasingly skilled with the experience of Thousand Forgings First Grade. He also integrated the subsequently forged metals with the Tear property into Little Gold's Claw Cover and inscribed several simple Soul Tool Magic Arrays.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

Dou Yi.

Xiao Ming's Forge Shop.

The blacksmith shop had been renamed a forging shop.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell today?"

Su Ming looked at Little Gold, sensing that something was off with him.

Little Gold roared twice.

"Roar!" (My body feels swollen!)

His body felt swollen?

Su Ming was stunned.

Through the contract between himself and Little Gold, he sensed Little Gold's condition, and his heart filled with joy.

"Little Gold, you're about to evolve!"

Over the past half year, he and Little Gold had forged more than a hundred batches of Thousand Forgings metal together. Of those, a full seventy were completed Thousand Forgings First Grade products, yet only five of those seventy pieces had developed the Tear property.

That ratio was already astonishing. The Tear property was a top-tier combat property; Dou San's Su Ming could only produce it once after forging two or three hundred times.

Clearly, Little Gold had played a part in it.

The five pieces of Thousand Forgings First Grade metal with the Tear property were all Sinking Silver. Su Ming had integrated them into Little Gold's Claw Cover and inscribed a Core Array, making the connection between Little Gold and the Claw Cover increasingly close.

Now, the time to reap the rewards had finally come!
