Su Wen's Second Soul Skill (Please Bookmark!!!)

Su Wen glanced at Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan had been warned by Salas not to spread Su Wen's theories, and Su Wen had been told the same.

But could the achievement of Su Wen absorbing a Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring itself be revealed?

Bai Yuan nodded at Su Wen.

It would be exposed sooner or later.

There was no way to hide it forever.

Xiao Zhan paid no attention to the exchange of looks between Su Wen and Bai Yuan, waiting for Su Wen to summon his Martial Soul.

Taking a deep breath, Su Wen extended his right hand. An ancient book radiating dazzling light and covered in Purple Markings appeared above his palm.

An exquisite Pupil Pattern adorned the book's cover.

The moment Xiao Zhan saw the appearance of Su Wen's Martial Soul, delight appeared on his face.

Good.

Its quality definitely wouldn't be low!

But as one yellow and one purple Soul Ring rose beneath Su Wen's feet, his expression froze.

His eyes widened as he carefully counted Su Wen's Soul Rings, recalled the Soul Power Level Bai Yuan had mentioned two days ago, then recalled his own knowledge of Soul Ring colors.

He questioned everything once over, then finally confirmed that his understanding was not mistaken and his memories were not muddled.

Su Wen's Second Soul Ring was a Thousand Year Soul Ring!

Hiss—

Xiao Zhan abruptly turned his gaze toward Bai Yuan.

Lao Bai, what are you doing?

Ordinary Spirit Hall members would be one thing, but could Su Wen's situation possibly be ordinary?

Why did you have me recommend him to the academy?

Bai Yuan wore a helpless expression. "Su Wen's situation is very special. His joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy was permitted by His Holiness the Pope. Old Xiao, although you're an instructor at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, you're also a member of Spirit Hall. The Pope's orders cannot be disobeyed. The fact that Su Wen comes from Spirit Hall cannot be revealed."

Su Wen could have a Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring, but it could not be revealed that he came from Spirit Hall.

Otherwise, what intentions would Spirit Hall have in sending such a genius into Heaven Dou Royal Academy? It would inevitably invite suspicion.

Xiao Zhan felt somewhat helpless.

Only then did he come to his senses and realize that Su Wen had a Book Martial Soul.

A Book Martial Soul with a Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring?

How had he endured it?

Xiao Zhan took a deep breath and stopped dwelling on the matter.

After the topic of Su Wen's Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring passed, Xiao Zhan curiously studied Su Wen's Martial Soul.

Tsk, tsk. No wonder it looked stronger than my Martial Soul had when I got my Second Soul Ring.

So he'd absorbed a Thousand Year Soul Ring.

"What are your two Soul Skills?" Xiao Zhan asked.

Bai Yuan also looked curious.

He had spoken with Su Wen before, but their discussions had all concerned Soul Master cultivation theory. He knew nothing about Su Wen's Soul Skills.

"My First Soul Skill is Enhancement. It can strengthen my Martial Soul in every aspect."

Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up.

Not bad!

Though it would not do much to give a Book Martial Soul combat power, it would not hinder anything either.

On the contrary, if his future Soul Rings gave his Book Martial Soul combat-type Soul Skills, then this First Soul Skill could amplify them across the board.

A versatile skill.

Not bad, not bad.

"What about your Second Soul Skill?"

Although Xiao Zhan himself had a Thousand Year Soul Ring, he was still curious about the Soul Skill granted by the Thousand Year Soul Ring Su Wen had absorbed beyond his level.

"My Second Soul Skill is Control. It lets me control the power of wind and fire elements."

Strictly speaking, the effect of Su Wen's Second Soul Skill was not control over the two elements, but spiritual control. Within a certain range, he could use Spiritual Power to control the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.

The Three-Eyed Illusion Spirit Fox's ability to construct an Illusion Realm with Spiritual Power, combined with Su Wen's own control over his body, had jointly resulted in his obtaining this Second Soul Skill.

It could be said that the Second Soul Skill broadened the scope of his talent to a certain extent.

Of course, Su Wen would still need to explore and develop it himself.

As for the control of wind and fire elements he spoke of now, it was more accurately a derivative ability produced by combining this Soul Skill with his talent.

That Three-Eyed Illusion Spirit Fox itself possessed the bloodlines of both the Flame Cloud Fox and the Gale Wind Fox. While undergoing a mutation in its Mental Attribute, it had also gained command over those two major attributes.

In other words, her primary attribute was mental, but she also possessed both wind and fire attributes.

After absorbing his Second Soul Ring, Su Wen's martial soul had not gained wind and fire attributes, nor did he possess any soul skills related to those two attributes. However, after being altered by the Three-Eyed Illusion Spirit Fox's soul ring, his martial soul had become more attuned to both elements.

Su Wen had merely used his Second Soul Skill, Mental Control, along with his own talent for Enhanced Perception, to manifest that affinity.

Su Wen had not revealed his full circumstances.

It was not a matter of trust. Soul skills were inherently private, just as a normal person would not tell others the color of their underwear.

It was enough to give a general explanation so that Su Wen could learn something practical from Xiao Zhan later.

"Control over both wind and fire elements?" Xiao Zhan's eyes were full of excitement.

"Are you sure?" He grabbed Su Wen by the shoulders and stared into his eyes.

"Mm."

It had to be said that Su Wen's current situation was exceptionally compatible with Xiao Zhan!

Not only was his cultivation talent outstanding, but there were also no issues at all with the two soul rings he had equipped. Even his developmental path suited Xiao Zhan perfectly.

Fire Element Control.

"Using a Mental Attribute to control elements?" Bai Yuan fell into thought, surprised that Su Wen had obtained such a soul skill.

If that was the case, then Su Wen's Second Soul Ring had been incredibly cost-effective.

Setting aside the benefits brought by its age, both the strengthening of his Spiritual Power and the corresponding traits produced by his Martial Soul Mutation from a primarily mental soul ring, as well as this soul skill that allowed Su Wen to truly embark upon the path of a Battle Soul Master, were top-tier gains.

Su Wen had finished all the materials in the library in five days. As a Theoretical Scholar, Bai Yuan had long guessed that Su Wen's martial soul mutation had produced traits in this area.

"No wonder you were so determined to become a Battle Soul Master."

It turned out that he had already found his path.

Ideals could certainly strengthen one's resolve, but an ideal that had already been partially realized would naturally make that resolve even firmer.

"Su Wen, very good!" Xiao Zhan finally came back to his senses. "After you enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy, you will study under me. I will teach you as much as I can about using books as a medium to control fire elements."

He did not mention taking him as a disciple.

Su Wen had already caught the Pope's eye in Spirit Hall. He could not make such a decision on his own, lest he be drawn into certain whirlpools.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhan."

"Xiao Wen, just focus on cultivating under me. There is no need to concern yourself with the other academy students, nor do you need to associate with them," Xiao Zhan reminded him.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy truly was a place for gilding one's credentials, and there was no shortage of spoiled young masters within it.

Aside from the team of talents specially recruited by the academy that Qin Ming now led, few of the others cultivated seriously. One after another, they formed factions within the academy.

Xiao Zhan was worried that Su Wen's mindset would be affected.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhan. I understand the situation at Heaven Dou Royal Academy." Su Wen did not want to stand out either. Back at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, aside from fighting that Boss Xiao once, he had kept a low profile the rest of the time and rarely made his presence known.

He knew what mattered more.

"Mm, let's go. I'll take you to meet the three Education Commissioners first."
