Purple Light Soul Power, One Month Later, Preparing to Leave

"Yeah!"

"Thank you, Brother Oscar!" Xiao Xian looked at Oscar and thanked him sincerely.

Oscar waved it off. "We're brothers. Why bother saying that? Hungry? Want a sausage?"

When they had first met, Xiao Xian had shown no disgust at all toward his incantation and had even praised how effective his Recovery Sausage was.

Unlike Boss Dai and Ma Hongjun. One had threatened him not to sell sausages near the academy, while the other had also detested his incantation. If not for the Dean and Teacher Zhao forcing them to treat it as adaptability training, they would not even have been willing to eat one.

"Yes, give me one." Xiao Xian felt that Oscar's Recovery Sausage was far better than Tang San's Blue Silver Sugarcane.

Perhaps only when his dear Junior Brother's Blue Silver Grass became the Blue Silver Emperor would it barely be able to compare to Oscar's sausages.

After all, this was an unprecedented Innate Full Soul Power Food System Spirit Master, someone who could become a god in the future.

As he thought this, an idea suddenly surfaced in Xiao Xian's mind—if Tang San cultivated faster than Oscar and became a Food System Titled Douluo first, would he not be the first to receive the God of Food Inheritance?

Xiao Xian's gaze gradually turned a little strange.

After chatting with Oscar for a while,

Xiao Xian hesitated, then suddenly said, "Brother Oscar, do you want to try the Sunlight Spore again?"

"A Food System Spirit Master having some combat ability is better than having none."

Oscar froze, seemingly tempted for a moment, but in the end, helplessness still surfaced on his face. "Forget it. I've tried so many times. I really can't suppress those side effects."

Xiao Xian stood and patted Oscar's shoulder. "I'll think of something. Brother Oscar, I'm going to find something to eat. Get some proper rest."

The Sunlight Spore's berserk and chaotic effects were two sides of the same coin as its ability to accelerate Soul Power activity.

If one effect was removed, the other would naturally disappear as well.

So even if Xiao Xian could suppress the Sunlight Spores and keep them from turning berserk, their effect of accelerating Soul Power activity would also vanish.

Xiao Xian truly had no good way to help Oscar.

Still, there had to be a way.

For example, the Mysterious Heaven Skill would be an excellent method, but it was not something he could pass on to others.

As for modifying it himself?

Honestly, he lacked both the ability and the time.

"I really need to give it more thought..." Xiao Xian mused as he walked toward the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was empty, with only a few simple ingredients.

Xiao Xian rummaged around, found some charcoal, set up a rack himself, then took out some Dragon Crocodile Meat from his Soul Tool and roasted it.

At the same time, he released Xiao Jue.

It did not taste very good.

But Xiao Jue ate with great enthusiasm, swallowing the meat into its belly while it was still half-raw.

Xiao Xian quickly ate his fill, took out more Dragon Crocodile Meat from his Soul Tool, and let Xiao Jue roast it itself. If it wanted food and clothing, it had to work for them itself.

He strolled leisurely out of the cafeteria. As long as he left behind enough Soul Power, Xiao Jue could travel far away from him.

Shrek Academy occupied a third of the village, yet only a handful of people lived there, making it feel very empty.

Xiao Xian slowly walked to an open patch at the very edge, the farthest place from the occupied houses.

He looked up at the sky. Stars dotted the heavens, clear and cloudless.

It was easy for Xiao Xian to think of all those days and nights he had spent in Nuoding City.

"Two more months. I wonder how they're doing now."

"Xiao San will be coming soon. This time, I wonder if Xiao Wu will follow him."

Back then, Xiao Wu had told Tang San that she was willing to give him a chance to be her brother. However, it depended on his performance—for example, whether he could give her a Silent Hidden Arrow as well.

That performance had lasted four years.

By the time he came to Suotuo City, Tang San had still failed to get what he wanted.

It had left Xiao Xian utterly dumbfounded.

But she would most likely follow him.

After all, spirit beasts could cultivate faster only by mingling among people, and the more geniuses there were among those people, the better.

To Xiao Wu, there was no one more talented than Tang San. At the same time, he was Food System, so he posed little threat.

Xiao Xian lowered his head. In just this short while, sixty percent of the Soul Power within his body had already transformed.

He instinctively activated the Mysterious Jade Hand.

His hands, which should have turned jade-colored, astonishingly became a faint purple instead.

Birds occasionally flitted past the trees nearby.

Xiao Xian pushed off with the tip of his foot and leaped high into the air. At the same time, a force of suction surged from his palm.

When Xiao Xian landed, he spread his right hand forward and lightly shook it. Five sparrow-like birds were fluttering their wings nonstop, trying to escape, yet an invisible force kept them confined within one meter of Xiao Xian's right hand.

Tang San had also seen this move and named it Heavenly Net.

He had even named Xiao Xian's ability to borrow force to redirect force, after he had fully mastered the Suction Palm, Stars Shift.

After the Blowing Fire Palm was fully mastered, the hurricane-like palm force he could strike through the air was called the Hurricane Empty Splitting Palm.

Master praised Tang San for having a talent for naming things, so the Storage Spirit Tool at his waist was still called Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night.

Purple Demon Eye and Mysterious Jade Hand had also openly appeared in the end.

The former was an eye-training secret art Xiao Xian used in conjunction with Hidden Weapons, while the latter was a method of strengthening the hand meridians developed to enhance the power of the Suction Palm and Blowing Fire Palm.

At the beginning, these had merely been Tang San's way of concealing his Tang Sect Secret Skills under the pretense that they were Self-Created Soul Skills invented by Xiao Xian.

Who could have known that, over four whole years, Xiao Xian would turn the false into the real, gradually transforming the eye-training secret art and hand-meridian strengthening method into the Purple Demon Eye and Mysterious Jade Hand.

Though both were somewhat different from the originals.

Their power had not diminished in the slightest.

Tang San had thought that Xiao Xian had unconsciously created them bit by bit through imitation. Or perhaps he had considered other possibilities, but he was unwilling to believe them. After all, the talent Xiao Xian displayed before him was simply too extraordinary, comparable to the talent of the Tang Sect's founding ancestor.

Xiao Xian maintained the suction with his right hand while his left hand quietly turned faint purple as well, like an exquisite piece of purple jade.

He reached his left hand toward one of the birds, easily caught it, and pinched it with his fingernail, making a small cut.

Sure enough.

The purple glow on his left hand immediately surged into the bird's wound, frantically occupying the meridians within its body.

Xiao Xian stared at the motionless bird in his left palm and gradually fell into thought.

He casually dispersed the suction from his right hand and released the other birds.

"Why does this feel... more and more like becoming an Evil Spirit Master?"

"The killing power is decent, though. This Purple Light Soul Power is also stronger than ordinary Mysterious Heaven Skill Soul Power. Even the Suction Palm's power has increased by ten or twenty percent."

"It doesn't interfere with the Sunlight Spores either..."

"Under the restraint of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, its extraction of nutrients from the body is not excessive."

"I'll observe it a while longer. It's only the first night, and the meridians haven't been fully transformed yet." Xiao Xian took the bird's corpse back to give Xiao Jue an extra meal.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

The sky had only just begun to brighten, and the great sun was rising as Xiao Xian flipped down from the roof.

Last night, he had finally allowed the purple glow to spread through every corner of his body, thoroughly transforming all his meridians into Purple Light Meridians.

However, these minor meridians were still fragile and insufficiently open. Unlike the main meridians, they could not accommodate the circulation of vast Soul Power, so they were not fully opened yet. But Xiao Xian could feel that as they slowly devoured nutrients throughout his body and converted them into Purple Light Soul Power, every one of those minor meridians was quietly expanding bit by bit.

Moreover, once these specks of purple light gathered in his main meridians, the amount they accumulated alone was already no less than what he gained from cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Now, the issue with the meridians in his body could be considered settled for the time being. All the goals for his Third Spirit Ring had been achieved.

"The time is about right. It's time to leave."

Xiao Xian stood before the small wooden house and calculated the timing. The semester at Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy was almost over.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were about to graduate as well.
