Attribute Form

The happy times always pass quickly, and the sparring practice soon ended.

At the same time, the school bell for noon dismissal rang.

Under gazes that could kill from jealousy, the six brothers quickly escorted Xian Wu away.

"I really didn't mean to pull her into my arms. I don't know what happened, my strength just suddenly increased." Xian Wu desperately explained. He was telling the truth and not lying.

Lu Piao grinned slyly and patted Xian Wu's shoulder, "We get it, we get it. No need to explain."

"Explaining is concealing, concealing is the truth," Zhang Ming chimed in with a lecherous grin.

Xian Wu pressed his forehead to his hand, speechless. Those two were truly a pair of clowns.

"Alright, you guys go eat first. I'll take Xian Wu to the adjacent training grounds to test him and see what's going on," Nie Li dismissed the other five and led Xian Wu towards the area next to the martial arts field.

Unlike the bustling martial arts field, the training grounds had very few people.

By the time the two arrived, the instructors had already finished their shifts.

"Great, we came all this way for nothing," Xian Wu turned to leave.

Nie Li grabbed his arm and pointed at the Strength Testing Stone, "Since we're here, give it a punch and let's see. I'll check the results."

"Okay." Xian Wu had no doubts. He cracked his knuckles loudly as he walked towards the Strength Testing Stone.

"Wait a minute, use your right hand. Don't use that left hand of yours. If you break the testing stone, we can't afford to pay for it," Nie Li reminded him.

"Got it." Xian Wu gathered all his strength and landed a right hook on the Strength Testing Stone.

Nie Li quickly moved closer, squinting his eyes as he estimated the depth of the punch mark.

"One more punch!" Nie Li patted Xian Wu's shoulder.

Boom!

Boom!!

Boom!!!

After Xian Wu landed three more punches on the Strength Testing Stone, Nie Li called a halt.

"How is it?" Xian Wu asked nervously.

Nie Li stroked his chin and said, "Strength: 99. Just as I suspected, you might possess a very special, perhaps even an unprecedented physique."

"Really?" A surge of excitement coursed through him, and Xian Wu was too happy to think straight.

Nie Li rolled his eyes, "Don't get ahead of yourself. I said might. Whether you do or not, we'll only know after the test. After lunch, go call Du Ze and the other four from the dorm. Everyone meet on the third floor of the library. I have something to tell you all."

"What is it?"

"Good news!"

Noon, the third floor of the library.

The third floor had many small rooms for students to read in, making it very quiet and secluded.

Seven people sat around a long table, quietly waiting for Nie Li to speak.

Nie Li took out a small cloth bag, pinched the bottom, and poured its contents onto the table with a "clatter."

Everyone peered closely. The bag contained Primary Soul Crystals.

What was Nie Li buying these for? Did he have too much money to burn?

"Why are you all looking at me? Take one each, pick your own!" Nie Li was the first to grab one from the pile of crystals.

Zhang Ming's large eyes weren't just for show; he immediately spotted the largest Primary Soul Crystal.

"Nie Li, are you buying Primary Soul Crystals just to test Soul Force?" Du Ze asked, confused. His crystal was neatly shaped, almost oval.

"Sigh..." Xian Wu sighed. His Soul Force was still at 1, showing no increase at all.

"Don't move!" Nie Li suddenly exclaimed.

Xian Wu looked up, confused. "What's wrong? You're jumping around like this. I've never seen a Legendary Spirit Master with only 1 Soul Force!"

Nie Li stood up and walked to Xian Wu's seat across the table.

"As I thought, I should have realized this earlier!" Nie Li bent down and carefully examined the Primary Soul Crystal in Xian Wu's hand.

"Chaos attribute, Black Hole form," Nie Li clicked his tongue in amazement. "Good heavens, I've only seen a Soul Sea like this in mythological texts. It's rare, truly too rare."

Nie Li's gaze was fixed on Xian Wu, as if he were an unparalleled beauty.

"What's going on? Go back to your seat and explain it clearly to everyone!" Xian Wu felt creeped out by the intense stare.

Seeing Nie Li return to his seat, shaking his head, Xian Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost thought he was going to be... taken.

"The reason I spent so much money on Primary Soul Crystals was to test everyone's Soul Sea," Nie Li explained with a smile.

"Didn't we test that at the beginning of the semester?" Du Ze asked, confused.

Nie Li continued, "The test at the beginning of the semester wasn't accurate. Who knows how many people have used that lousy crystal? It would be a miracle if it was precise."

"Precise? Besides the strength of Soul Force and the color of the Soul Sea, what else can a Soul Crystal test?" Xian Wu asked.

"The attributes and form of the Soul Sea," Nie Li replied.

Xian Wu's insight was sharp, and he was good at grasping the key points of an issue. The more he looked at this kid, the more he liked him.

"The Soul Sea has seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. It is commonly believed that the further back the color, the higher the cultivation talent."

"Actually, this is a mistaken view!"

"There is no most useless Soul Sea in the world, only the most useless Spirit Master. Even a red Soul Sea can be cultivated into a Legendary Spirit Master, all it takes is..."

"All it takes is what?" Lu Piao asked impatiently.

Among those present, only Du Ze had a yellow Soul Sea; everyone else had a red Soul Sea.

Nie Li smiled slightly, "All it takes is finding a suitable cultivation technique. Don't worry, I have a large number of top-tier cultivation techniques here, but I need to test the form and attributes of your Soul Seas before I can distribute them to you."

"Xian Wu, your Soul Sea has a black hole form and chaotic attributes. I will teach you the Chaos Spirit Devouring Art. Take notes..."

The Chaos Spirit Devouring Art allows one to advance by devouring Demonic Spirits, not through active cultivation.

After devouring any single Bronze Rank Demonic Spirit, Xian Wu's Soul Sea capacity instantly expanded to 999.

After devouring any two Silver Rank Demonic Spirits, Xian Wu's Soul Sea capacity instantly expanded to 9999.

And so on.

An expanded capacity does not represent the actual amount of Soul Force, but only the upper limit of Soul Force that can be stored within the body.

If Xian Wu wishes to obtain Soul Force, in addition to devouring Demonic Spirits, he can also devour the Soul Force of other Spirit Masters.

Once the devouring begins, even if the other party seals their Soul Sea, their Soul Force will be continuously absorbed until not a single drop remains.

There is one method that can return the absorbed Spirit Master's Soul Force, and even return it doubled.

As for what that method is, we will not discuss it for now.

Ultimately, the Chaos Spirit Devouring Art is merely a tool to control the Soul Sea; the truly powerful entity is Xian Wu's Soul Sea.

His cultivation going berserk a few days ago was caused by his Soul Sea losing control.

Due to the black hole's infinite devouring attribute, Xian Wu could not stop absorbing Moonlight Essence once he started, until all the Moonlight Essence was absorbed.

Clearly, that was impossible.

Soul Force exceeding the Soul Sea's tolerance limit would overflow and temper the physical body, strengthening muscles and reinforcing power.

When the strengthening of power also reached its limit, the cultivator would explode and die.

This was precisely why Xian Wu's physique had become bloated previously.
