The Bridge Between Life and Spirit, the Spirit Sea

Holding the Ten Thousand Year Heart Soul Tree Crystal in his hand, Jiang Yi's Heart began to pound violently.

Powerful life force surged forth, then poured wildly through his arm into the ancient tree crystal.

Such an enormous amount of life force flowed into it, yet the ancient tree crystal was like a bottomless pit, devouring it tirelessly without showing any reaction.

This was one reason why, despite the Heart Soul Tree Crystal's tremendous effects,

so few Spirit Masters could use it to connect their spiritual power and life force.

To fuse the Heart Soul Tree Crystal into one's body, the crystal first had to swallow an immense amount of life force from the Spirit Master all at once.

This would establish a close connection between the crystal and the Spirit Master, eventually melting the crystal and allowing the two to fuse perfectly.

Yet even after going through all that trouble, the chance of successfully connecting spiritual power and life force to form a complementary cycle remained minuscule.

Jiang Yi merely wanted to give it a try. If it failed, he could always try again.

After all, a little life force was nothing to him.

His life force recovered extremely quickly, and it grew stronger at an equally rapid pace.

As life force continued to flow in, the Heart Soul Tree Crystal finally began to change.

It gradually melted from its original crystalline state, eventually turning liquid and slipping directly into Jiang Yi's body through his arm.

Jiang Yi's body trembled. He felt a cool sensation spread through all four of his limbs, then gather toward his forehead.

Within his Spirit Sea, the golden liquid began to change shape.

It eventually became a Miniature Heart Soul Tree.

The instant the Heart Soul Tree appeared, both his spiritual power and life force surged toward it.

Using it as a medium, the two powers began to blend together. Gradually, they seemed to establish a connection.

But At This Moment, the Miniature Heart Soul Tree had become incredibly illusory, as though it would shatter the very next second.

Just as everything was about to fail, Jiang Yi's Heart suddenly thumped, and a hazy Purple Light shot out.

It raced into the Spirit Sea and ultimately fused into the Heart Soul Tree.

The Miniature Heart Soul Tree, originally golden, was assimilated into purple in an instant.

Under the effect of this power, the connection that had nearly failed was finally stabilized At This Moment.

Spiritual power and life force completed their connection at this instant, forming a Cyan Gold Bond.

Life force nourished his spiritual power in return, allowing it to endlessly regenerate while also increasing the speed of his spiritual power cultivation.

A sudden Humming Sound rang out in his previously chaotic Spirit Sea.

Powerful life force churned continuously within the Spirit Sea.

Under this power, his Spirit Sea kept expanding, and a Cyan Gold ocean slowly took shape.

Jiang Yi slowly opened his eyes. Cyan Gold Light gleamed within them, carrying an unusual sensation.

"My life force now contains spiritual power. Doesn't that mean my life force has Attack Power too?"

Delight appeared in Jiang Yi's eyes. He had not expected such an unexpected gain.

He had thought it would merely make his spiritual power endlessly regenerative. He had not expected that after completing this step, his life force would gain Attack Power as well.

After understanding his gains, Jiang Yi could not help recalling that Purple Light from earlier.

"That Purple Light flew out from inside my heart, but it wasn't pure life force."

"It should be a new power born after my talents began to fuse. But why can't I use it yet?"

"Could it be because the degree of fusion is too low?" Jiang Yi felt that was highly likely.

"Perhaps we can only comprehend Purple Power once our talents have fused to a high degree."

Setting the matter aside for now, Jiang Yi stood up and left the cultivation room.

When he walked out of the cultivation room, the sky had already darkened.

"Time to eat." After cultivating for So Long, Jiang Yi felt a little hungry.

Under the night sky, he arrived at the cafeteria. It was not too late yet, around seven in the evening, so there were still quite a few people inside.

When they saw Jiang Yi, they warmly greeted him. One younger female student even shyly handed him a love letter.

"Defeating Shrek really brought me quite a bit of prestige." Jiang Yi could not help sighing.

"But once I leave Mingdu and the academy, that prestige will probably turn into infamy."

After all, Shrek Academy had developed for so many years that its students had already spread across the entire continent.

And for some reason, everyone who joined Shrek Academy seemed to develop a strange faith in it after leaving.

For the so-called glory of Shrek, they seemed willing to give up everything.

Someone like him, who had defeated Shrek Academy, would probably become a target for those people.

Arriving at the serving counter, Jiang Yi took out his Student ID Card.

He swiped it against the green Light Screen before him, and Jiang Yi's information immediately appeared on the screen, along with an ordering button.

Looking at the information displayed, Jiang Yi was somewhat surprised.

"I actually became a Level Seven Student."

Inside The Academy, students at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy were divided into seven levels. When they had Just Enrolled, they were Level One Students.

To raise their student level, they had to contribute to the academy or possess exceptionally high talent. The higher their level, the better their treatment.

Jiang Yi quickly Realized that it must have been the talent he displayed and the contributions he made when he defeated Shrek Academy.

That had led the academy to decide to raise his student level.

"It seems Level Seven Students can eat all the food in the cafeteria at a ninety percent discount." Jiang Yi's eyes lit up.

After being in the academy for So Long, his student level had only reached Level Four.

The main reason was that he had no Attack Power or support abilities, and his power could only Act On himself.

As a result, his talent rating Inside The Academy was very low. Even when he wanted to take missions, his Combat Power made it difficult to find suitable ones.

Without hesitation, Jiang Yi ordered several dishes he normally could not bear to order and began eating heartily.

With every bite, a warm current appeared Inside The Body. This was the improvement that Medicinal Cuisine made from high-grade ingredients brought to Spirit Masters.

"This feels really good." After eating his fill, Jiang Yi could not help sighing.

"Now that my student level has risen, I can exchange for some knowledge useful to my counterparts from other worlds at a cheaper price."

"The next time we return to that Mysterious Space, I can pass all that knowledge on to them."

Jiang Yi stood up and left the cafeteria, heading toward another place.
