Four Support Spirit Abilities, Gifts of Destiny

Of course, Qi Lin was thrilled inside, but on the surface, he still gave Sky Dream Ice Silkworm all the emotional validation he could.

"Mm, I truly never expected Brother Sky Dream to have had such legendary experiences."

Seeing that Qi Lin trusted him so much, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm instead felt a sense of guilt.

Only he himself knew how much fabrication there was in the story he had made up.

For example, when he had first arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, he had not come to explore at all. He had been chased there while fleeing for his life from a sea soul beast.

Moreover, the soul beast chasing him had only been a sea soul beast that was several tens of thousands of years old.

Yet he himself had already been over nine hundred thousand years old at the time.

And not long after he escaped into the Star Dou Great Forest, he had been easily captured by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, without even the slightest ability to resist.

As for fighting for hundreds of rounds, that was purely him flattering himself.

Of course, for the sake of his mighty and heroic image, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm decided not to tell Qi Lin the truth for now. Instead, he brought up something else.

"Little Qi Lin, I'm really not bragging."

"As the world's one and only Wisdom Soul Ring, don't be fooled by the fact that I didn't give you a Spirit Bone. I can provide you with a new martial soul."

"Furthermore, as your physical constitution gradually improves, I can also increase the age of your soul rings."

"Due to the limitations of your constitution, your First Spirit Ability has only reached the eight-hundred-year level for now. I sealed all the remaining energy away, waiting for your physical constitution to improve."

"So? Isn't your brother amazing?"

Qi Lin smiled and gave him a thumbs-up.

"Brother Sky Dream is fucking amazing!"

"If heaven had not given birth to Brother Sky Dream, soul beasts would have faced eternal night!"

Upon hearing Qi Lin's praise, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's two round eyes lit up at once, and he burst into smug laughter.

"Hahahaha, Little Qi Lin, I knew there was a reason I found you so pleasant at first sight."

"You understand me!"

"If heaven had not given birth to Brother Sky Dream, soul beasts would have faced eternal night!"

"Ahahahahaha!"

After his excitement subsided, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm proudly asked, "By the way, Little Qi Lin, which four spirit abilities did you obtain?"

"Our Ice Silkworm clan excels most at spiritual power. You should have obtained spirit abilities related to spiritual power, right?"

"Did you get something like Simulation or Spiritual Detection? Those are the specialties of our Ice Silkworm clan."

Qi Lin shook his head and said with a smile, "The spirit abilities I got seem to all be support-type spirit abilities. There's no Simulation or Spiritual Detection."

"Eh?"

"How could that be? Spirit abilities are generally related to the soul beast's original body."

"Then what exactly are your spirit abilities?"

Qi Lin answered truthfully, "Gift of Destiny: Strength, Gift of Destiny: Speed, Gift of Destiny: Defense, and Gift of Destiny: Spirit. Each spirit ability can increase its corresponding attribute by ten percent."

"What!"

"How can the boost be so low!"

"And these spirit abilities have nothing to do with me at all!"

The moment Qi Lin finished speaking, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could no longer sit still.

In contrast, Qi Lin maintained a calm expression throughout.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm became even more depressed upon seeing that and asked curiously, "Little Qi Lin, aren't you upset at all?"

"Your First Spirit Ability may have four abilities, but in terms of boosts, it can't even compare to an ordinary Hundred-Year Soul Ring."

However, Qi Lin replied easily, "Brother Sky Dream, you're overthinking it. How could a million-year soul ring be this pathetic?"

"For each ten thousand years my soul ring's age increases, the boost from these four spirit abilities will increase by ten percent."

"So, if I raise my first soul ring to one million years, each of my four spirit abilities can provide a maximum boost of one thousand percent."

"When that happens, which Support Spirit Master could compare to me?"

"Holy shit!"

"I knew the spirit abilities I bestowed upon you couldn't possibly be that trash. Just as I expected."

"Ahahahaha!"

After hearing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt capable again and became smug once more.

But Qi Lin was not finished. After Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finished laughing, he continued, "That's not all!"

"My four spirit abilities not only have temporary boosting effects, but also provide a certain degree of permanent enhancement. It's just that the enhancement is relatively small, and each person can only receive a permanent enhancement once per day."

"What!"

"Permanent enhancement!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice instantly rose several octaves.

Qi Lin felt that if Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had taken human form, the expression on his face right now would definitely have been spectacular.

After a long while, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finally said in a complicated tone.

"You're invincible!"

"Truly invincible?"

"What else? I originally had a sliver of uncertainty, but now it seems that if even you can't become a god, then no one in this world is worthy of becoming one."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sighed sincerely, but what followed was excitement and delight.

Wonderful. Once Little Qi Lin became a god, he could follow him to the Divine Realm and enjoy the good life.

Hehehe...

At the thought of those days, a lecherous gleam immediately appeared in Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's round eyes.

Su Yuntao and Sisi slowly woke up. They first looked around blankly before suddenly remembering that they had come to help Qi Lin hunt for a soul ring.

"Oh no, Little Qi Lin!"

When Sisi saw that Qi Lin was nowhere beside her, panic immediately appeared on her face.

Only when Qi Lin stepped out from behind her and answered did she relax.

"Sister Sisi, I'm here!"

Sisi let out a breath of relief.

"Thank goodness you're all right. Otherwise, your sister wouldn't even know how to explain it to your parents."

Beside her, Su Yuntao also came to his senses. Thinking of the enormous Ice Silkworm he had seen before losing consciousness, lingering fear remained in his eyes.

"I never thought we actually survived. We really are blessed with good fortune!"

"It's my first time seeing such an enormous Ice Silkworm. Its age had to be at least at the ten-thousand-year level."

"Although Ice Silkworms are famously weak in combat among soul beasts, dealing with us would still have been more than easy for it."

"Fortunately, these soul beasts are mild-tempered and generally do not take the initiative to attack humans. It probably knocked us unconscious because it was startled by the bloody scent from the Gale Demon Wolf I killed."

After hearing Su Yuntao's analysis, Sisi patted her chest in relief, a look of surviving a disaster flashing across her face.

But she immediately remembered that Qi Lin had yet to absorb a soul ring and could not help but say with a smile.

"Little Qi Lin, they say great misfortune never comes without a blessing. It looks like we'll be able to help you hunt down a very good soul ring in a moment."

Qi Lin had already walked up to the two of them and said with a smile, "Sister Sisi, I already absorbed a soul ring while you were still unconscious."

"What!"

"Ah, Little Qi Lin, why didn't you wait until we woke up before absorbing it?"

Sisi and Su Yuntao immediately revealed anxious expressions upon hearing this.

"Quick, show us what soul ring you absorbed!"

Qi Lin could only reveal his soul ring truthfully.

A gleaming white soul ring slowly rose from beneath his feet.

"A Ten-Year Soul Ring!"

At the sight of it, Sisi suddenly felt dizzy.

Su Yuntao hurriedly supported Sisi, then looked at Qi Lin with a disappointed, frustrated expression.

"You brat, what am I supposed to say to you?"

"If you had waited for me to wake up before absorbing a soul ring, how could you have ended up absorbing only a Ten-Year Soul Ring?"

Seeing this, Qi Lin considered whether he should tell them the truth.

He was not afraid at all of news about his million-year soul ring getting out, but who would believe it?

Perhaps if he said it, Sisi and Su Yuntao would think he was trying to comfort them, or making excuses as a joke.

Still, seeing how upset Sisi was, Qi Lin consoled her, "Sister Sisi, Brother Tao, you don't need to be upset because of me. Don't be fooled by the fact that my soul ring is only white—I have four spirit abilities."

At those words, Sisi and Su Yuntao froze, both turning to look at Qi Lin.

"Wha... what!"

"Four spirit abilities!"
