Spiritual Detection! Binding Zhang Lexuan, Activating Suppression! (Seeking Collection!)

Huo Yuhao bit his lip hard, instinctively looking toward Dai Yu beside him, his eyes filled with helplessness.

"Poor talent? That might not be the case."

Just as the atmosphere grew awkward, Dai Yu suddenly spoke up.

He wasn't discouraged by Zhang Lexuan's dismissal. Instead, he stepped forward, shielding Huo Yuhao behind him.

His gaze locked onto Zhang Lexuan, a confident smirk curling at the corner of his mouth:

"Senior, judging someone by appearances alone won't do.

Yuhao's soul power level might be low, but the soul skill granted by his First Soul Ring is something special."

"Oh?"

Zhang Lexuan raised an eyebrow, seemingly unhopeful, but she still asked patiently:

"What's so special about it? Don't tell me it's a God Tier soul skill?"

Dai Yu shook his head, raising one finger and speaking deliberately:

"His First Soul Skill is called—Spiritual Detection."

"Spiritual Detection?"

Zhang Lexuan paused for a moment, then, as if something clicked, a flicker of surprise passed through her eyes.

Seizing the moment, Dai Yu pressed on:

"Since Senior is from Shrek Academy, you must know about the Soul Tool Department, right?

For the Soul Tool Department, what matters most?

It's not soul power level—it's Spiritual Power!

Yuhao's martial soul is the Spiritual Eye, giving him naturally strong Spiritual Power, and paired with this Spiritual Detection soul skill...

He's a born Soul Engineer prodigy!

If you put him in the Soul Tool Department, his value won't be any less than any so-called genius from the Martial Soul Department!"

At the mention of "Soul Tool Department," the disappointment in Zhang Lexuan's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a keen interest.

Indeed.

With the development of Soul Tools, the academy's emphasis on the Soul Tool Department had been growing year by year.

And spirit-attributed soul masters had a unique advantage in controlling and crafting Soul Tools.

If this boy's soul skill really was Spiritual Detection...

Then he was truly a rare talent for the Soul Tool Department!

Zhang Lexuan re-evaluated Huo Yuhao, who was hiding behind Dai Yu. This time, there was more anticipation in her gaze.

She gave a slight nod, beckoning to Huo Yuhao, her tone growing more serious:

"If it's Spiritual Detection, then that is indeed interesting.

Little brother, don't be nervous.

If it's convenient, could you release your First Soul Skill on me?

Let me see what's so unique about this 'Spiritual Detection' of yours."

Huo Yuhao instinctively looked at Dai Yu. Seeing Dai Yu give a slight nod and an encouraging look, he took a deep breath to calm his nerves.

"Then... Senior, forgive my impertinence."

Huo Yuhao said softly, then closed his eyes briefly before snapping them open.

In an instant, a faint layer of golden light swirled in his pupils, his deep blue eyes seeming to transform into translucent gems.

Then, a ring of milky-white light slowly rose from beneath his feet.

Seeing that white Ten-Year Soul Ring, Zhang Lexuan, though mentally prepared, couldn't help a flicker of regret in her eyes.

But the next second.

Huo Yuhao let out a soft shout:

"Spiritual Detection Share!"

An invisible wave of spiritual power instantly radiated outward from Huo Yuhao, precisely connecting to Zhang Lexuan's Sea of Consciousness.

Zhang Lexuan felt a jolt in her mind, and then the world before her eyes changed completely.

"This..."

The senior senior sister of Shrek Academy's Inner Court trembled slightly, her usually calm and gentle eyes suddenly bursting with an incredulous shock!

What was once a flat field of vision had now become three-dimensional!

Everything around her—even the texture of leaves in her blind spot behind her—was vividly displayed in her mind.

Within dozens of meters, every rustle of grass, every crawling ant, even the trajectory of a dewdrop falling from a distant treetop, was now crystal clear!

And what was even more terrifying was that this detection wasn't static—it was a dynamic prediction!

She could even sense the subtle shifts in the surrounding airflow, all under the envelopment of this Spiritual Detection, as if time itself had slowed down at this moment.

'How is this possible?!'

Zhang Lexuan's heart churned with shock.

This level of clarity, this all-encompassing, omni-directional, three-dimensional perception...

Let alone a Ten-Year soul skill, even a ten-thousand-year-level spiritual soul skill might not achieve such a terrifying effect!

This was simply a divine skill!

For any soul master, especially a Control System soul master or a Soul Engineer, having such an auxiliary skill would exponentially multiply their combat power!

"Hoo..."

After a moment, Huo Yuhao withdrew his Soul Power and looked at Zhang Lexuan with some anxiety:

"Senior, this is my First Soul Skill..."

Zhang Lexuan had now completely shed her earlier disdain and casualness.

She took a deep breath, calming her turbulent emotions, and stared at Huo Yuhao with burning eyes, as if looking at an uncut gem.

"Unbelievable..."

Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but praise:

"Although it's only a Ten-Year Soul Ring, the effect of this soul skill is truly the cream of the crop!

Little brother, your name is Huo Yuhao, right?

If based solely on this soul skill, you indeed have the qualifications to enter Shrek Academy, even for the special recruitment of the Soul Tool Department!"

Hearing this affirmative evaluation, Huo Yuhao's face flushed with excitement, his fists clenched tightly, and tears of joy glistened in his eyes.

He had done it!

He hadn't let Yu Ge down!

Meanwhile, Dai Yu, watching Zhang Lexuan's shocked expression, curled his lips into a knowing smile.

The skill bestowed by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Million Year Soul Ring, even if disguised as a Ten-Year, its essence remained a million years.

Shocking a Soul Douluo-level Zhang Lexuan was more than enough.

However...

What Dai Yu was more focused on now was the mechanical prompt that suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected Host successfully using "Huo Yuhao" to inflict strong psychological impact (shock/subversion of cognition) on key figure "Zhang Lexuan".]

[Conforms to "Borrowing Power to Suppress" judgment mechanism.]

[Congratulations, Host! Successfully bonded with key figure: Zhang Lexuan!]

[Current bonded target: Zhang Lexuan (Affinity: Friendly/Curious)]

[Unlocking suppression reward list:

1. Whenever Host displays strength or means surpassing her cognition in front of Zhang Lexuan, gain attribute points.

2. If Host can suppress Zhang Lexuan in strength or status, can extract one of her martial soul talents or soul skills.]

Dai Yu felt a surge of joy in his heart.

So that's it!

It wasn't just about martial conflict, and he didn't even need to act personally.

As long as he used people or events around him to inflict psychological "suppression" or "impact" on the target, he could fulfill the bonding condition!

This system was more flexible than he had imagined.

Since the bond was successful, it was time to start reaping the benefits.

Dai Yu stepped forward, subtly blocking Zhang Lexuan's overly intense gaze on Huo Yuhao, and said with a faint smile:

"So, Senior?

Didn't I tell you? Yuhao is a natural-born Soul Engineer seedling.

Now, can we go in?"
