Mystic Water Pill Ready

Su Fan's words carried two meanings.

First, Space Jump consumed Soul Power. If he could not replenish it in time, then the jump could not be carried out.

Second, if his Soul Power was insufficient to support the corresponding jump distance, then the jump would fail.

"There are still some things I need to test before I can be sure. For example, condensing a fixed Aperture containing a certain amount of Soul Power, allowing it to circulate on its own and complete a jump without needing me."

That would be similar to a teleportation array.

It was just that once the Soul Power belonging to Su Fan inside the Aperture was exhausted, the Aperture would inevitably collapse as well.

At that moment, all kinds of wild ideas were taking shape in Su Fan's mind.

This Aperture Martial Soul was simply incredible.

From childhood to adulthood, its range of applications was immensely broad.

"It is only natural that the mutation failed. Now I am truly certain that my Apertures are the Apertures of heaven and earth, the nexus of all things."

His first soul skill was to become a nexus of space and regulate its structure!

Of course, due to the soul ring's age and the soul skill template provided by the Mystic Turtle, this first soul skill ultimately manifested as Space Jump.

"Space Jump—first of all, my Soul Power itself can jump."

Su Fan looked inward at himself, observing his many meridians.

Nine Apertures caught his attention.

"If I use the power of the Apertures to complete a jump, can my Soul Power flow through my meridians in leaps? Soul Power that should have flowed through my right hand could instead flow directly to my right leg."

At the very least, when he needed to erupt in battle, the effect would definitely not be bad.

Beyond that, he could also rearrange his Soul Power out of thin air while cultivating.

Soul Power circulating through different meridians within the body produced entirely different effects. Different circulation routes determined different results.

During meditation, there would inevitably be moments when he needed to refine the energy of heaven and earth, only for his Soul Power to be scattered elsewhere.

If he could gather that scattered Soul Power at that moment along a route capable of refining vital energy, his cultivation efficiency might rise to another level.

Such meditation would itself consume Soul Power, however.

But none of that mattered. As long as the upper limit of his Soul Power could increase faster, it was enough.

"Also, the Apertures inside my body can Linkage with the Apertures outside it. By using external Apertures, I can continuously transmit the energy of heaven and earth directly into my meridians."

"And there's more..."

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Su Fan digested each wild idea, organized them, and established the direction of his future cultivation.

There were two parts to it in total.

One was cultivation: using the ability to jump to improve certain processes in his cultivation and thereby raise its efficiency.

The other was practical application.

"Soul Tools are pretty useless."

Su Fan had no defense for that.

Soul Tools in this era were truly useless—too worthless to use, yet too regrettable to discard.

However, since he wielded the power of Apertures and could organize the veins of heaven and earth, he had no choice but to study them.

More precisely, what he wanted to study was not Soul Tools themselves, but the Core Arrays within them.

"With the power of my Apertures, perhaps I can break free from Soul Tools' dependence on materials, set arrays in the void, and create Soul Tools that do not exist in reality!"

Only the arrays would remain in heaven and earth, without relying on materials.

At that thought, Su Fan's expression became excited.

Because this aligned with his original vision.

"My Apertures organize the veins of heaven and earth and serve as the nexus of all things. Now, I can use my body to cultivate and nourish them step by step, strengthening them. In the future, I may not lack the ability to command heaven and earth and overturn the universe!"

Using the effects of soul tool arrays to summon the energy of heaven and earth with a wave of his hand—was that not the preliminary cultivation for controlling heaven and earth?

After calming his mind, Su Fan entered meditation.

He no longer let his thoughts run wild.

The next day.

Su Fan found Su Tian.

"Brother, I want to learn about Soul Tools."

Su Tian did not refuse Su Fan's request.

Soul Engineers held a special status nowadays. If one could become a Soul Engineer, there was no need to speak of the future.

"If you want to study Soul Tools, our merchant association does have two Soul Engineers, but their levels are too low. They will not be able to teach you for long. Let me think of a way to find you a high-level Soul Engineer."

About two days later, Su Tian took Su Fan and left Eastsea City.

"Brother, isn't this the road to Mystic Nether City?" Su Fan asked in confusion.

"The Mystic Water Pills are ready. We're going to buy one. Besides, I heard that Shrek Academy will also send people to purchase Mystic Water Pills this time."

Su Fan's brows furrowed slightly.

What did it mean that Shrek would send people to purchase Mystic Water Pills?

What did that have to do with them?

After thinking it over for a moment, Su Fan understood his brother's intentions.

His brother wanted him to join Shrek!

Compete with four hundred people for a toilet?

No way!

His family had no connections within Shrek, and his Martial Soul had no real highlights in its early stages. Going to Shrek would merely make him a stepping stone for others.

He would not go!

Su Fan had a clear understanding of his own position.

He knew very well that his current abilities were completely useless among Soul Masters of the same rank.

Yes, even his basic support capabilities were minimal.

The so-called Space Jump had not yet reached a level where it could provide support.

This soul skill would definitely be useful to others in the future, but absolutely not now.

In that case, a weak Soul Master like him would only become a background character at Shrek, be crazily squeezed dry by everyone, lose all his potential, become a failed monster, and be abandoned by Shrek.

"My path is one that gains strength in the later stages. At the very least, I need to wait until the middle stages before I can achieve anything. Joining Shrek would bring me nothing but harm and no benefit."

Having thought it through, Su Fan made up his mind.

Not joining was one thing, but since his brother had already made arrangements, he could not refuse outright.

He could only place his hopes on Shrek.

"Shrek, you had better not disappoint me."

When Su Fan considered the matter, he did so based on the assumption that he had already joined Shrek.

In reality, with his current qualifications, he could not get in at all.

Mystic Underworld Sect.

"I must thank Sect Master Xu in advance."

Yan Shaozhe spoke to a burly middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man waved his hand.

"It is Sanshi's fortune that Dean Yan has come in person."

The two exchanged pleasantries as they walked through the sect.

Suddenly, a steward approached the middle-aged man and whispered a few words.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan, the sect master of the Mystic Underworld Sect, narrowed his eyes, and his brows faintly furrowed.

He glanced at the steward.

After thinking for a moment, he still replied, "Let them come over."

The steward bowed and withdrew.

Yan Shaozhe asked curiously, "Sect Master Xu, is something important happening?"

Xu Yuan sighed.

"Alas, a merchant firm working with us learned through some unknown means that Dean Yan had come in person. They wish to see whether his younger brother can join Shrek Academy."

Yan Shaozhe chuckled softly upon hearing this, but did not give a direct answer.

He had seen plenty of people like this.
