Ning Lu's martial soul was not inferior to the top-tier martial souls of other sects in certain respects. If it could advance further and evolve into the Nine-Colored Wine Gourd, the upper limit of Ning Lu's combat power would be terrifying.

However, due to the "Drunkenness" restriction, unless necessary, Ning Lu considered herself a Support Soul Master. Otherwise, after unleashing a burst of power without beating the enemy to death, she might end up getting finished off herself. Not only would that be embarrassing to say aloud, it could also cost her life.

Chen Hong's First Soul SkillSage Time (Mental Focus)—had originally been intended to support his mother. Who would have thought the skill's effect would turn out like this? He could only Sage-ify himself, not others.

How could that do? Let someone else be the Sage! He would be in charge of getting frisky!

Still, one thing had to be acknowledged: Chen Hong truly was Ning Lu's biological son, having inherited his family's excellent bloodline of martial soul skills that were all self-amplifying.

If Chen Hong did not think of changing things, then his distant Second Soul Skill would most likely still be a self-amplifying soul skill.

In the attic on the second floor of the Suspended Pot Medical Center, Chen Hong had originally wanted to continue asking about the love story between his mother and his useless father. In the end, apart from adding several lumps to his head for nothing, he made no progress at all.

"Doesn't Brother Hong know how to read the room?"

Inside Chen Hong's bedroom, Ye Lingling helplessly used both hands to gently stroke the majestic dragon horns that had just grown from Chen Hong's head, slowly healing them with Soul Power.

"What do you know? This is Mother opening the skylight of wisdom in my mind!"

Chen Hong lay facedown on his pillow, entrusting his head to Ye Lingling without concern as he began studying the Soul Ring Soul Power Flow Diagram in his mind.

Chen Hong: Right now, my mind feels amazing and my body feels great!

He had discovered a strange phenomenon long ago. Didn't his mind often contain all sorts of bizarre stray thoughts? If he actively released those stray thoughts, or if he got beaten and injured, they could be cleared away, leaving Chen Hong calm and peaceful.

Chen Hong believed this phenomenon might be caused by his Mental Power being overly sensitive. Either he released it himself, or he got beaten up, temporarily shutting down his sensitive Mental Activity.

Releasing it himself would easily make him act crazy like an idiot. Only by angering his mother and increasing the parent-child interactions between them could he barely maintain his daily life.

After all, no matter how much Chen Hong angered his mother, she would not really stack up her rage and beat him into a pulp, right?

Whenever he was beaten, his brain automatically activated its protective instincts, blocking out some of the strange messages received by his sensitive Mental Power and allowing Chen Hong to regain the calm and rationality he should have possessed.

His father, Chen Lin, called Chen Hong's condition: Craftsman God Possession.

Lying beneath the blankets, Chen Hong felt the warm sensation coming from his head. The cool, soft little hands gently stroking his head gave him the distinct impression of going to a proper hair salon to have a proper shampoo from an underage little girl.

"I don't know why, but after being nourished by your Soul Power, it feels like my Soul Power Cultivation Speed has increased quite a bit over the past few days." Chen Hong buried his head in the pillow and spoke subconsciously.

"Hm? Really? Then it should be because Aunt Ning's Life Nectar was diluted by the Soul Power of the Nine Heart Begonia, allowing Brother Hong's body to better absorb its energy and creating an additional effect?" Ye Lingling said uncertainly.

"Still, if Brother Hong truly feels that his Soul Power Cultivation Speed has increased, then during these few days before school starts, Lingling can keep trying to use Soul Power to nourish Brother Hong's meridians and help Brother Hong cultivate faster." Ye Lingling was genuinely happy for Chen Hong at the good news that his Soul Power Cultivation Speed had increased.

"Ah, and you said you didn't mind that I'm a useless Spirit Master." Chen Hong complained helplessly.

Ye Lingling hurriedly said in a fluster, "No, no, no! Brother Hong is so smart! How could you possibly be useless? Brother Hong is the smartest person Lingling has ever met!"

"That's because you haven't met enough people." Chen Hong, who had nearly finished recovering, turned over and summoned his yellow Soul Ring onto his hands, sighing softly in his heart.

". . . LinglingLingling has never seen anyone more impressive than Brother Hong at the Noble Soul Master School!" Ye Lingling widened her adorable pale purple eyes and looked earnestly at Chen Hong after he had flopped over like a salted fish.

"Ah..." Looking at the silly purple-eyed girl above him, Chen Hong said no more. Instead, he made room for Ye Lingling and said softly, "Forget it. I'll continue guiding you in Comprehending Soul Rings. I have a feeling that this might slightly increase Mental Power, or perhaps it's a Contemplation Method I stumbled upon by accident."

Chen Hong sensed a small cluster of black dots in the three-dimensional space of his mind and roughly understood his progress in comprehending the inscription within this Soul Ring: 12%!

Chen Hong had a feeling that Comprehending Soul Rings might have some connection with Self-Created Soul Skills. As long as he successfully comprehended his Sage Inscription, he would be able to understand the energy logic behind Self-Created Soul Skills.

By then, Chen Hong felt that with his clear mind, unpolluted by Martial Soul School, he should be able to find the rules behind Self-Created Soul Skills, write a Research Report, and organize it into a theory. Wouldn't that be far more awesome than that Theory Grandmaster?

He, Chen Hong, was a man who possessed Six-Gang Power. One Grandmaster and three fart-forbidden spells—then at the very least, Chen Hong had to be an Eighteen-Plus Grandmaster even more awesome than a Grandmaster, right?

Moreover, the reason Chen Hong studied his Sage Inscription so painstakingly was because he was someone who hated double standards.

Right now, the Sage's effect could only work on himself. That was equivalent to being lenient toward others and strict toward himself. How could that do? Wasn't that a form of double standards?

He would be cursed by future generations as a double-standard dog! The world needed fairness! It needed equality!

So first, he would set himself a small goal. Chen Hong would spread the Sage's radiance across the land and establish a Sage World corresponding to the "World of Ultimate Bliss."

He would let sudden rationality overwhelm people's clear-headed horny minds.

(Don't let rationality overwhelm your mind!)

In a sense, wasn't Chen Hong, who possessed such a grand ambition, another brand-new kind of "Eighteen-Plus" Grandmaster?

And so, Chen Hong continued guiding Ye Lingling with Mental Power as she began Comprehending Soul Rings. They continued until they were mentally exhausted, then both fell asleep.

The next day, Ye Lingling told Ning Lu that Nine Heart Begonia Soul Power plus Life Nectar could increase Chen Hong's Soul Power Cultivation Speed. Ning Lu then made Chen Hong a small gourd and assigned him a daily drinking task.

Chen Hong's bottleneck had already begun to loosen. Facing the combined assault of two super healers, he successfully broke through within a few days and became an exceptionally noble and powerful Level 12 Spirit Master!

A ten-year-old Level 12 Spirit Master! This child was terrifying indeed!

Ye Lingling's vacation also came to an end, and she prepared to return to school.
