Where Are My Soul Skills! Where Did My Soul Skills Go!

"Dan Shi... Dan Shi is condensed through a specific circulation path, and its essence is still the Qi formed by the convergence of essence, energy, and spirit."

"That means my Martial Soul is actually Qi!"

Qin Qi suddenly realized that his Dan Shi Martial Soul should be considered a type of Body Martial Soul.

It was just that compared to those involving eyes or arms, his Body Martial Soul was more complete.

Essence, energy, and spirit—essence is the physical body, energy is the power within the body, and spirit is the soul and will.

"A Body Martial Soul... and one related to Spirit Power."

"The higher my Spirit Power, the stronger my Martial Soul; the stronger my Martial Soul, the faster my Spirit Power grows; the higher my Spirit Power..."

Qin Qi felt as if he had just stepped on his own left foot to lift himself into the air!

"Hmm, this is a good thing. The later stages will only make me stronger!"

Qin Qi nodded, then summoned his Spirit Ring, preparing to examine what his Spirit Skill was.

A yellow Spirit Ring appeared beside Qin Qi, floating silently in the air.

"My Spirit Skill... what the hell, where is my Spirit Skill?!"

Qin Qi sensed his body, but he didn't find any changes. However, when he attempted to condense Dan Shi, it appeared in his hand once again—this was the second time today.

"Don't tell me I don't have a Spirit Skill!"

Qin Qi suddenly thought of the Nine Hearts Begonia; no matter how many Spirit Rings are added, there is only one Spirit Skill, which can heal all wounds as long as the user is alive.

His Dan Shi Martial Soul seemed to be the same; adding a Spirit Ring only increased the quantity of Dan Shi he could use.

No other new Spirit Skills had appeared.

In the time that followed, Qin Qi carefully observed his changes and finally reached a conclusion.

"I really don't have a Spirit Skill, but my Spirit Power has changed; it now carries the toxicity of the Datura Snake."

"At the same time, when I use Qi Poison: Bamboo Green Snake, the flow of my Spirit Power has become much smoother."

"The appearance of the Bamboo Green Snake has also become more like that of a Datura Snake."

Qin Qi looked at the Qi Poison: Datura Snake coiled around his arm; its eyes and scales were vivid and lifelike.

The texture when he touched it felt real, and its defense, speed, and attack power had all improved!

"Go, pick that fruit off the tree for me."

Qin Qi placed the Datura Snake on the ground and gave the order, and the snake spontaneously set out to carry out his command.

It climbed up the tree and plucked the fruit.

"They say Spirit Rings contain the soul of a Spirit Beast... hmm, this doesn't feel like a soul to me, but rather a form of sentience."

"I have absorbed this creature's sentience, and when I use the Bamboo Green Snake, that sentience is attached to it."

Qin Qi tried many times; the Datura Snake had no consciousness of its own; it was more like an object with a spark of intelligence.

It could barely understand Qin Qi's commands, such as attacking, moving, or retrieving something.

But if he asked it to dance, the Datura Snake couldn't do it.

"Alright, this trip was a complete success. Time to head back."

Qin Qi looked at the Qi Poison: Datura Snake on the ground. The Datura Snake he had condensed was about the thickness of a child's arm and roughly one meter long.

"Hmm, you come with me. It'll be a good way to train my control."

Qin Qi could have dispelled the Datura Snake's form, but he didn't; instead, he prepared to keep it manifested.

He intended to use this to train his control and endurance over the Qi Poison, both of which were essential prerequisites for learning the secret technique: Green Hundred Shadows.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss."

The Datura Snake flicked its tongue, then crawled onto Qin Qi's body and hid inside his sleeve.

"So light. As expected, it's still just Qi Poison, not a real Datura Snake. It lacks a lot in terms of weight."

"If I look closely, the details are also lacking quite a bit."

Qin Qi scrutinized the Qi Poison: Datura Snake and shook his head; his control was still insufficient.

There were still issues with the details of the snake he created, but that didn't matter; his control would improve over time.

By the time Qin Qi reached the exit of the Soul Hunting Forest, it was nearly evening, and the lead teacher was anxiously arguing with the guards.

"Teacher, hello."

Qin Qi walked over with a well-behaved smile on his face and spoke.

"Hello? What do you mean 'hello'? Where have you been! I've told you so many times, don't wander off, don't wander off!"

"You... you're fine. You're a good kid."

The lead teacher looked at the returning Qin Qi, his initial anger and desire to scold him instantly fading away.

However, when Qin Qi activated his Spirit Ring and the yellow ring manifested behind him, the teacher's expression changed instantly.

Teacher, I still prefer the way you looked when you were being stern earlier.

Qin Qi grumbled inwardly, wondering why the teacher had gone from being so dismissive to so obsequious; the change was just too drastic.

"Is this the student you said got lost?"

The guard looked at Qin Qi and spoke up.

"What do you mean 'got lost'? Can you even talk? This is the little genius of our academy; how could he possibly get lost!"

"He just came out a little late, that's all. Hmph, I can't reason with you, let's go."

The teacher grabbed Qin Qi and turned to leave, acting as if he weren't the same person who had just been arguing heatedly with the guard.

"Sick in the head."

Watching the teacher walk away, the guard couldn't help but mutter a curse.

Once they returned to the inn, the sixth-grade students saw Qin Qi come back and swarmed him, asking why he had run off.

But when they saw that yellow Spirit Ring, their expressions shifted.

"Little brother, are you thirsty?"

"Little brother, do you want some fruit?"

"Little brother, you're so cute. Do you want to be my little brother?"

The group surrounded Qin Qi, fussing over him with an incredibly eager attitude.

"Ahem, show some restraint. What kind of behavior is this?"

The teacher coughed twice before speaking up.

"Yes, teacher."

Under the teacher's command, the group slowly calmed down, but the way they looked at Qin Qi had changed, becoming much more friendly.

"Alright, alright, you've all had a long day. Go get some sleep; we have to continue hunting spirits tomorrow."

"Qin Qi, stay behind. I have something to discuss with you."

The teacher shooed the other students away, leaving Qin Qi alone with him.

"Teacher, my Spirit Ring is..."

Qin Qi started to recite the excuse he had prepared, but he was interrupted before he could finish.

"Don't tell me; I don't want to know."

"The fact that you were able to obtain a century-level Spirit Ring is a testament to your ability. How you got it has nothing to do with me."

"But there is one thing I need to discuss with you. When we go back, don't tell the principal that you acted on your own."

"Just say that you obtained the century-level Spirit Ring under my care. Please."

The team leader didn't care how Qin Qi had obtained his Spirit Ring, but he did care about his paycheck.

If the principal found out that a student had gone missing while under his supervision, he would definitely have his pay docked!

"Well, it was under your care that I obtained the Spirit Ring, after all."

Qin Qi said.

"Phew, good lad, you're sensible."

The teacher patted Qin Qi on the shoulder with relief. "Alright, I had someone leave dinner for you downstairs. Go eat."

"Oh, and order two chicken legs. My treat."

The teacher paused for a moment after saying this, then added that last bit.

"Then thank you, teacher."

After saying that, Qin Qi left to eat. As he ate, he sighed to himself.

Who says teachers at primary academies are mediocre? Who says children are stupid?

These people are all as sharp as foxes.
