Thousand Year Soul Spirit: Scarlet Flame Tiger King!

Pagoda Master Liu Yang came back to his senses from deep thought, his profound gaze settling on Fang Yang.

He slowly raised a hand and gestured to Su Tao beside him. "Xiao Tao, bring out that soul spirit."

"Yes, Pagoda Master."

Su Tao answered respectfully and took a crystal-clear Crystal Ball from his Storage Soul Tool.

A purple glow flowed across the sphere's surface. Inside it was a ferocious tiger, crimson from head to toe.

"Fang Yang, this is one of the few top-grade Thousand Year Soul Spirits in the Aolai City Spirit Pagoda—the Scarlet Flame Tiger King. It is also the one most suitable for your Martial Soul," Pagoda Master Liu Yang said.

In a remote place like Aolai City, there were mostly Ten Year Soul Spirits and Hundred Year Soul Spirits. A Thousand Year Soul Spirit was already quite rare.

Not to mention a top-grade Thousand Year Soul Spirit like the Scarlet Flame Tiger King; it could be considered an absolute treasure throughout the entire East Sea Region.

Fang Yang accepted it and looked at the Scarlet Flame Tiger King within the Crystal Ball, understanding what had happened.

After Su Tao reported the matter, Pagoda Master Liu Yang must have spared no expense and used his private collection to invest in him.

He would remember this kindness.

"Thank you, Pagoda Master. Fang Yang will remember this deeply." Fang Yang bowed deeply, his voice filled with sincere gratitude.

One had to know contentment and understand that countless people had Ten Year Soul Spirits as their first soul spirits, or lower-quality Hundred Year Soul Spirits such as the Hundred Year Soft Bone Rabbit, Hundred Year Grass Snake, and so on...

Pagoda Master Liu Yang nodded in satisfaction and took out a ring from his robes. "This Storage Ring contains fifty cubic meters of space, as well as ten million federal currency. Consider it a small token from me."

Fang Yang accepted it with both hands and bowed once more. "Thank you, Pagoda Master."

Pagoda Master Liu Yang smiled and patted Fang Yang's shoulder. "Haha, Xiao Yang, there is no need to stand on ceremony. These are merely small tokens. Oh, right—have Xiao Tao take you to apply for a Core Disciple Identity Card. From now on, you will be able to enjoy the benefits of a Spirit Pagoda core disciple."

After saying that, Pagoda Master Liu Yang turned and left.

Fang Yang hurriedly said, "Farewell, Pagoda Master."

After Pagoda Master Liu Yang left, the room fell silent for a moment.

Then Su Tao said excitedly, "Fang Yang, do you know what being a core disciple means?"

In the Spirit Pagoda's system, disciples were divided into Ordinary Disciples, Outer Disciples, Inner Disciples, Core Disciples, Direct Disciples, and Spirit Envoys, the highest rank."

He took a deep breath and continued explaining, "Core Disciples and Direct Disciples are both candidates to become future branch Pagoda Masters of the eighteen Spirit Pagodas!"

Spirit Envoys held status equal to Pagoda Masters and were the heirs of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

The entire Spirit Pagoda was governed by "one Pagoda Master, two deputies, and four Spirit Envoys."

Hearing this, Fang Yang was deeply shaken. He had not expected Pagoda Master Liu Yang to value him so highly that he directly granted him the status of a Core Disciple.

This meant that he would receive the finest Cultivation Resources and training system from the Spirit Pagoda. His future was limitless.

"Come on, I'll take you to the registration office," Su Tao said with a smile.

"With the Pagoda Master's certification, the procedures will be completed quickly. Starting today, you will be the youngest Core Disciple in the Aolai City Spirit Pagoda in nearly a hundred years."

Fang Yang nodded, put the Storage Ring on his finger, and stored the Thousand Year Soul Spirit Crystal Ball inside it.

He took Na'er's soft little hand and followed Su Tao out of the room.

The Spirit Pagoda was an octagonal, three-story structure, facing in all four directions and eight sides. Its interior was extremely spacious, with broad halls and marble floors bearing the Spirit Pagoda's emblem.

A ring of doors of unknown destination surrounded them. Directly ahead was a counter-like area, behind which sat a Spirit Transmitter in a gray robe.

"By the Pagoda Master's decree, process a Core Disciple identity for Fang Yang!" Su Tao slapped the certification onto the counter.

"What? A c-core disciple?" The Spirit Transmitter's hand trembled, and he nearly knocked over the water bottle beside him.

He accepted the certification with shaking hands. After repeatedly confirming it, his attitude immediately became incomparably respectful. "Please wait a moment, my lord..."

"My lord, this is your Core Disciple Identity Card. If it is lost, you may apply for a replacement." Before long, the Spirit Transmitter respectfully presented a card engraved with golden patterns with both hands.

"Thank you."

Fang Yang accepted the card, placed it in his Storage Ring, and turned to Su Tao. "Uncle Su Tao, I'll head back first to fuse with the soul spirit. See you next time."

Just then, Na'er gently tugged at his clothes. "Brother, my snacks..."

"Sorry, Na'er. I nearly forgot." Fang Yang smacked his forehead.

He gave Su Tao an apologetic smile, then brought Na'er back to the Reception Room and stored the snacks on the tea table in his Storage Ring.

Just like that, Fang Yang left the Spirit Pagoda with Na'er and headed home.

"Mom, Na'er and I are back!" Fang Yang called loudly as he pushed open the door.

His mother, Lin Ximeng, poked her head out from the kitchen, her apron still stained with oil. "Yang'er, how did your Spiritual Power test go today? Can you fuse with a Hundred Year Soul Spirit?"

At that moment, Na'er skipped over. "Mom, Brother bought me lots of delicious food!"

Seeing this, Lin Ximeng smiled and praised her. "Na'er is such a good girl."

Fang Yang took out the items from his Storage Ring. "Mom, I met the Pagoda Master today. He gave me a Thousand Year Soul Spirit and this Storage Ring. There are also ten million federal currency inside."

Most importantly, he paused. "I'm a Core Disciple of the Spirit Pagoda now."

Lin Ximeng was somewhat confused. She understood every word, but when Fang Yang put them together, she could no longer make sense of it...

"Yang'er, how much Spiritual Power do you have?" Lin Ximeng immediately asked.

Fang Yang calmly stated the number. "101 points, Spirit Connection Realm."

"What? 101 points, Spirit Connection Realm?" When Fang Yang said it, Lin Ximeng thought she had misheard.

However, after Fang Yang confirmed it, Lin Ximeng understood at once.

My son Fang Yang was a genius!

"Alright, alright, Mom. I'll go back to my room and fuse with the soul spirit first."

Fang Yang rubbed Na'er's silver hair again. "Na'er, watch some TV for a while. Wait for Brother."

"Okay, Na'er will behave," Na'er replied cutely.

After explaining everything, Fang Yang returned to his room.

"Let's begin."

Fang Yang sat cross-legged on his bed and took out the Thousand Year Soul Spirit Crystal Ball from his Storage Ring.

After clearing away his distracting thoughts, he extended his right hand and gently touched the Crystal Ball.

Low-level soul spirits had no physical bodies and existed only as illusory forms, but Fang Yang's was a Thousand Year Soul Spirit.

Just like that, Fang Yang gently touched the Scarlet Flame Tiger King.

"It isn't hot at all. It feels fluffy and comfortable."

At a thought from him, a Deep Yellow Flame appeared.

This was the Profound Yellow Flame, the Heavenly Flame Fang Yang possessed, and also his Martial Soul.

"Fuse!"

The Deep Yellow Flame wrapped around the Scarlet Flame Tiger King and slowly devoured it.

Fang Yang closed his eyes tightly and began fusing the soul spirit according to the method he had learned.

The soul spirit fusion began, and the fluctuations of Soul Power within his body became violent. The Soul Power throughout his body boiled.

The surging power of the soul spirit instantly filled his body and fiercely struck at the barrier of his Soul Master realm.

Then, in the very next moment, Fang Yang's cultivation bottleneck was broken through by the soul spirit's power, and his Soul Power successfully advanced to an entirely new level.
