Bai Yu's Spirit Skills

Ignoring the question marks popping up over everyone's heads, Bai Yu continued explaining to Oscar.

"It will release a Spirit Ring suited to your level based on the Soul Power you feed into it."

"If the Spirit Ring's current level is insufficient during absorption, it will continue releasing Soul Power until you stop absorbing it or it reaches its Soul Power limit."

As they listened to Bai Yu's explanation, everyone wore numb expressions, their thoughts thoroughly scrambled.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. She asked in a somewhat delighted tone, "Then wouldn't having this mean we won't need to kill Spirit Beasts anymore?"

Bai Yu rolled his eyes at Xiao Wu, his expression caught between a smile and a smirk.

"Well, that's true. But making this requires becoming a Soul Engineer first. The path to improving as a Soul Engineer isn't much easier than becoming stronger as a Soul Master, so it will still take time before it can truly become widespread."

When Xiao Wu heard that it would still take a long time, her ears drooped. However, Tang San's eyes shone. He had no time to look at Xiao Wu's expression and immediately spoke up.

"Soul Engineer? So to make Soul Tools, you first need to become a Soul Engineer? How do you become one?"

Hearing Tang San's question, everyone else perked up as well. They were extremely curious about this Soul Engineer profession they had never heard of.

Bai Yu did not disappoint them and began explaining what Soul Engineers were.

"A Soul Engineer is a Soul Master who uses and makes Soul Tools. As for using them, any Soul Master can do it as long as they know how."

"But making them is troublesome. Don't let the Soul Gathering Seal's small size fool you—its internal structure is incredibly intricate!"

"It requires high Mechanical Understanding and Array Inscription. Mechanical Understanding is simple enough; you only need to study it. The difficult part is Array Inscription. It requires an Array Inheritance, talent in Spirit Power, and focus."

"Soul Tools have nine levels, corresponding to the nine ranks of Soul Masters. I'm currently a Level 6 Soul Engineer and can make Level 6 Soul Tools."

Bai Yu paused, glanced at everyone's expressions, and continued.

"There are legends of Level 10 Soul Tools that can allow a Super Douluo to fight a Limit Douluo across ranks. I don't know whether it's true."

Everyone's breathing grew hurried. Tang San even asked, "Can I become a Soul Engineer?"

Without even looking at him, Bai Yu said, "You have the talent, but my family has no plans to pass it on to outsiders for now, so you can't."

"Alright, this topic is over. Little Ao, hurry and absorb the Spirit Ring. Maintaining its existence also consumes its Soul Power."

Tang San's expression changed, and unwillingness flashed through his eyes. Oscar was startled as well and hurriedly began absorbing the Spirit Ring.

Everyone simply watched from the side, waiting for Oscar to finish absorbing it. They wanted to know whether it would differ from a Spirit Ring obtained from a Spirit Beast.

Since this Soul Power had been directly transformed from the Power of Heaven and Earth and had no owner, there was no rejection. It was absorbed extremely quickly.

Just fifteen minutes later, Oscar opened his eyes and sprang to his feet, shouting excitedly.

"Thank you, Bai Ge!"

The others were all curious and asked Oscar, "Little Ao, what Spirit Skill did you get? Hurry up and show us."

Oscar recited his Spirit Incantation. "I've got a Flying Sausage!"

Hearing the Spirit Incantation, everyone burst into laughter. Ma Hongjun even squealed like a pig.

Oscar glared at Ma Hongjun and hurriedly explained, "The Flying Sausage lets whoever eats it grow a pair of Swift Star Sparrow wings."

"The wings last for five minutes. The more Soul Power you put in during those five minutes, the faster you become. At maximum speed, you can match the speed of a Swift Star Sparrow with the same age as my Spirit Ring!"

Aside from Bai Yu, no one was laughing anymore. They knew just how astonishingly fast Swift Star Sparrows were. This was practically a godly skill!

"How much does it consume?" Bai Yu interrupted everyone's fantasies.

When Bai Yu asked, Oscar remained beaming.

"It consumes a lot. Taking me as an example, maintaining the fastest speed for one minute would use up one-fifth of my Soul Power. But it's fast!"

Tang San and the others nodded, feeling there was nothing wrong with that. Bai Yu agreed as well. It was far better than the Spirit Skill from the original story.

Bai Yu then walked over to Oscar and said, "Give the Soul Gathering Seal back to me. Don't tell me you were planning to keep it."

Oscar looked awkward and returned the Soul Gathering Seal in his hand to Bai Yu. Everyone watched without blinking as he put away the Soul Gathering Seal that had been maintaining its Spirit Gathering Effect.

Bai Yu's mouth twitched, and he said irritably:

"Alright, stop staring. When you level up, choose your Spirit Beasts yourselves and see whether I have what you need. I won't leave any of you out."

Everyone smiled and said one after another, "Thank you, Bai Ge!"

A smile appeared on Flender's shovel-like face as well. "White Kid, look..."

Before he could finish, Bai Yu began shaking his head and directly rejected Flender.

"You won't do. What Little Ao used is a Level 3 Soul Tool. When you level up, you'll need a Level 8 Soul Tool. I'll have to advance to Soul Douluo before you do for you to be able to use one."

Flender rolled his eyes and said somewhat speechlessly, "Maybe you really will be faster than me!"

Once everyone had calmed down, Flender was just about to dismiss them when Tang San spoke up again.

"Bai Ge, I heard the Dean say that your martial soul is also Blue Silver Grass. What are your Spirit Skills? What path do you follow? And how do you cultivate so quickly?"

Hearing Tang San's questions, everyone who had just calmed down focused their attention again.

Flender also looked over. After all these years, he had never seen Bai Yu use his Spirit Skills.

"Tsk, are you all really that curious? Fine, I'll let you see."

After saying that, Bai Yu directly released his martial soul. A vine like blue crystal, streaked with faint silver patterns, appeared before everyone. Six Spirit Rings—yellow, purple, purple, black, black, and black—floated up and down around it.

"Th-this is Blue Silver Grass? And those Spirit Rings? How is that possible?" Tang San cried out.

Everyone wore the expression of an old man staring at a phone on the subway. What was this thing? Was he bullying them for never having seen Blue Silver Grass, or for never having seen a Spirit Emperor?

Bai Yu shrugged. Seeing their disbelieving faces, he casually said:

"It is indeed Blue Silver Grass, but it evolved. It should be called Blue Silver King now!"

Tang San was stunned. Tang San could not hold back any longer. "Blue Silver Grass can evolve? How did you do it?"

Looking at the anxious Scum, Bai Yu continued unhurriedly, "Don't rush. Let me finish."

"As for my Soul Master path, I follow the Support System. You'll understand my Spirit Skills once you experience them."

"Second Spirit Ability: Parasitism. The Spirit Ring came from Parasitic Hyphae, a wood-element Spirit Beast known for its vitality and spiritual connections. Its effect is to parasitize others with Blue Silver King and establish a spiritual connection with the host, allowing the host to control them."

As Bai Yu spoke, he released his Spirit Skill. Vines grew over Tang San and the other six, and the seven of them controlled the vines with astonished expressions.

"First Spirit Skill: Spirit Power Amplification. It came from Spirit Power Sacred Wood, a wood-element Spirit Beast renowned for its Soul Power. The effect is exactly what the name suggests, so there's no need to explain further."

Tang San and the other six also felt the Soul Power within their bodies surge and nodded.

"Third Spirit Skill: Blue Silver Wings. It came from Wind Grass, a special wood-element Spirit Beast that flies when it encounters wind. The effect is as the name suggests: a pair of Blue Silver wings."

Everyone excitedly took flight and tested them out. The speed was ordinary, but the Soul Power consumption was very low.
