Unity, Soul Skill Cultivation

After fusing with the Force-Gathering Blood Vine soul ring, the soul skill he obtained was named Unity.

The effect was quite simple: under normal circumstances, the Blue Silver Grass would emerge in a scattered manner when released.

In such a state, although it could cover a wider range of attacks, individual vines would inevitably suffer from issues like insufficient power or a lack of toughness.

Of course, this situation no longer applied to him.

When Wang Xian fought opponents of his own rank or even those of a higher rank, he could inflict significant damage by relying on the strength of his martial soul.

However, this was limited to those around the level of a Soul Grand Master; if he were to face power-attack or defense-system Soul Elders, his Blue Silver Grass would prove inadequate.

However, the Unity soul skill solved this problem perfectly.

The true function of this soul skill was that when releasing the Blue Silver Grass, he no longer allowed them to disperse into countless thin vines.

Instead, he fused the life force, soul power, and physical form of all the Blue Silver Grass together, condensing them into a single, immensely thick main vine.

This was not simply twisting several blades of grass into a rope; it was a qualitative change.

After fusion, the toughness, density, and hardness of the main vine far exceeded the sum of its parts in a scattered state.

Wang Xian could feel that if he fused ten blades of Blue Silver Grass into one, the toughness of that main vine would not be a ten-fold addition, but a ten-fold multiplication.

The power of its strikes, piercings, and binding would all increase exponentially with the number of blades fused.

If he were to fuse all his Blue Silver Grass into one strand at once, the power of that single strike would become truly terrifying.

It would far exceed the damage his current Soul Power Level should be able to inflict.

The power-attack and defense-system Soul Elders he had previously worried about would no longer be a concern in the face of such a strike.

Moreover, the process of fusion was essentially compressing the life energy of all the Blue Silver Grass into a single container.

In this way, the main vine's feedback on life force was more efficient, allowing it to repair itself rapidly when damaged.

This also meant that the previously acquired skills of absorbing moisture and life force would have great utility.

The life force drained from enemies could be fed back into himself in a more concentrated manner.

The degree of fusion could be controlled freely according to the battle situation.

He could fuse only a portion to form two or three thicker main vines, or he could fuse all the Blue Silver Grass at once to transform it into a giant vine resembling a pillar supporting the sky.

Fusion required time; the more Blue Silver Grass fused, the longer it took, but it would never exceed three seconds at most.

The fused main vine could be maintained for a long time, or it could be dispersed back into its original state at any moment.

Before this soul skill appeared, it was difficult for the scattered Blue Silver Grass to inflict effective damage against high-defense enemies.

But after Unity, the main vine could smash through defensive lines like a battering ram.

A single, incredibly thick main vine wrapping around a target was also far harder to break free from than dozens of thin vines.

Most importantly, he could concentrate all his power into a single point to deliver a fatal blow at a critical moment.

"The effect of this soul skill is truly formidable, and I can even cultivate it."

After understanding the effects of the soul skill, Wang Xian immediately opened the System Panel.

Martial Soul Cultivation System.

Host: Wang Xian.

Age: Seven years old.

Soul Power: Level 12.

Martial Soul Training Camp: Train martial soul (None), acquired traits: Tiger Might, Adhesion, Hardening, Growth...

Soul Skill Cultivation: First Soul Skill (Unity), can be cultivated for 100 cultivation points.

"One hundred cultivation points, I'll just cultivate it directly." Wang Xian did not hesitate.

"System, spend one hundred cultivation points to cultivate the first soul skill."

"First Soul Skill (Unity) is being cultivated. Progress: 1%. Estimated time to completion: three days."

After performing martial soul cultivation, he had already thought about the matter of soul skill cultivation once he obtained a soul skill.

Naturally, he had fought a few freshmen he hadn't challenged yet, and only after gathering enough points did he stop and come to hunt for soul rings.

"Three days again. It seems only the Weapon Form is special and requires a longer time."

Thinking about it, this was quite reasonable; after all, in the Weapon Form, the Blue Silver Grass completely transformed into a different shape and possessed skills, much like an independent new martial soul.

It was normal for this level of change to require more time to cultivate.

"Let's cultivate first." After settling everything, Wang Xian closed his eyes and began to cultivate his soul power.

The next morning, he packed up his tent and immediately returned to Notting Academy.

Although he had already broken through to the first ring and met the requirements for graduation, he had not yet waited for Tang San, so how could he leave Notting Academy?

Because of his breakthrough in cultivation, the return journey took five full days less than the trip there, and he returned to Notting City in just seven days.

Looking at the familiar city, he could not help but sigh.

"Finally back. I'll skip the spirit master certification at the Martial Soul Hall for now; otherwise, if my identity is recognized, it will easily attract the attention of others."

"I'll go after some time, or perhaps not at all. It's just some gold coins; once my cultivation becomes stronger, earning gold coins will be simple and easy."

There was no need to expose his secrets for the sake of a little money.

"Let's head straight back to the academy." Wang Xian walked toward Notting Academy.

During the seven days he spent rushing back, the Soul Skill Cultivation had finally finished.

Soul Skill Cultivation: First Soul Skill (Ultimate Unity) cultivation requires 1,000 Cultivation Points.

Ultimate Unity was the advanced version of the Unity soul skill.

The most obvious change was the fusion speed; previously, it took nearly three seconds to fuse all the Blue Silver Grass into one strand.

Although it didn't sound long, in a real battle, three seconds was enough for an opponent to rush over and land several strikes.

Now, this time had been compressed to under one second; almost as soon as a thought crossed his mind, the Blue Silver Grass would begin to fuse, completing the process in the blink of an eye.

The difference between one second and three seconds was enough to determine life or death at a critical moment.

Another change was even more practical.

The fused main vine was no longer just a thick vine, but had begun to possess the ability to change its form.

The form of the main vine could be changed at will; as long as there were enough vines generated, even weaving it into a giant would be no problem.

Furthermore, after transforming into a certain shape, it could undergo a secondary change on the surface of the main vine.

For example, it could grow barbs when an enemy tried to tear it apart, sprout blades when he wanted to cut something, or grow hooks when he wanted to climb.

This directly turned the Blue Silver Grass into a multi-functional martial soul.

These things were not fixed in advance, but changed according to his will during battle, growing whatever was needed.
