Xu Yuan opened the Soul Spirit Ball.
The Five Elements Spear Spirit flew out of the Soul Spirit Ball. The palm-sized spear that had appeared outside immediately expanded, its shaft stretching eight feet and its spearhead eight inches. Five Elements gathered together, forming a streak of Spear Light at the tip.
The Five Elements Spear Spirit moved on its own and stabbed straight at Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan possessed immense Spiritual Power, and his reflexes were naturally exceptional. With a flash, he sidestepped and grabbed the spear shaft.
The tremendous force immediately restrained the Five Elements Spear Spirit.
"Good spear!"
The Five Elements Spear Spirit struggled, but Xu Yuan continuously shifted his moves along with the force of its struggles. The basic spear techniques, altered by the spear spirit's resistance, became dazzling to the eye.
Xu Yuan's movements were exceptionally fluid. As the spear spirit struggled, he followed its force while making slight adjustments, executing each move and stance of the basic spear techniques.
Every transition flowed naturally.
Xu Shengqun watched from the side, his eyes lighting up as a satisfied smile spread uncontrollably across his face.
Although Zhen Hua's forging assignments were arduous and exhausting, they had given Xu Yuan an excellent grasp of strength. Practicing spear techniques came even more easily to him, and under Mu Ye's guidance, every move and stance was without the slightest flaw.
It could only be said that Xu Yuan's moves were extremely standard.
However, his mind worked at tremendous speed, allowing him to anticipate every variation in advance. His body could also keep up with his thoughts, which was how he achieved this display.
The Five Elements Spear Spirit also discovered Xu Yuan's talent with the spear. It stopped causing trouble and slightly followed the flow of Xu Yuan's spear techniques.
Xu Yuan also secretly stopped using Soul Power to enhance his strength and restrain the spear spirit, instead practicing the spear techniques purely on their own.
Naturally, he revealed the domineering might of his Heaven Origin Brush-Spear. Each move and stance was no longer a perfectly standard basic posture, but carried an unstoppable momentum. Combined with the multicolored Spear Light formed by the spear spirit gathering the power of the Five Elements, it resembled a fierce beast poised to devour its prey.
Holding the Five Elements Spear Spirit, Xu Yuan looked at the mess all around him and felt thoroughly satisfied.
The Five Elements Spear Spirit merely let out soft, repeated hums, as though it had acknowledged Xu Yuan as its master.
The Five Elements Spear Spirit transformed into a streak of light and merged into Xu Yuan's body.
A sudden insight came to Xu Yuan. He sat down cross-legged and began refining the Soul Spirit's origin.
The phantom of the Heaven Origin Brush emerged above his head. After transforming into the Pen Spear form, the spearhead that had originally been formed from the brush tip gradually turned metallic. The spear shaft, which carried a faint woody tint, was also dyed with a metallic sheen. The black-and-white patterns began to shift; though seemingly irregular, every part of them radiated sharpness.
At that moment, the Heaven Origin Brush-Spear could truly be called the Heaven Origin Spear.
After the Heaven Origin Spear's form evolved, it returned to its original Heaven Origin Brush form. Patterns in five colors began spreading across its body, covering the previously monotonous black and white. The bristles at the tip were also dyed a slightly hazy gray.
Outside Xu Yuan's body, a bright yellow ring slowly condensed.
As the Yellow Soul Ring condensed around him, Xu Yuan officially became a Soul Master, and his Soul Power instantly broke through that barrier.
Soul Power surged through his body, but Xu Yuan paid it no attention.
At that moment, a roar rang out within his consciousness.
An invisible force appeared within his perception, one he could freely mobilize with a thought.
"This is Spiritual Power!"
And being able to freely mobilize Spiritual Power meant that Xu Yuan's Spiritual Power realm had reached the Spirit Connection Realm. In the Spirit Connection Realm, the mind was spiritually connected; one's will arrived wherever one's thoughts reached, allowing one to bear two Yellow Soul Spirits or one Purple Soul Spirit!
Xu Yuan's thoughts suddenly stirred.
He gathered his Spiritual Power and used all his strength to sense the location of his Sea of Spirit.
Every person possessed three dantians. Of them, the upper dantian was where the soul's origin resided and the source of Spiritual Power. It was also known as the Sea of Spirit.
However, not every Soul Master could connect with their own Sea of Spirit.
Ten thousand years ago, even Mental Attribute Soul Kings might not have been able to connect with their Sea of Spirit. At the time, this was called opening the Sea of Spirit.
Yet ten thousand years had passed. With the widespread adoption of the Soul Spirit system, and with the help of Soul Spirits, as long as a Soul Master's Spiritual Power reached the corresponding realm, they could easily connect with their Sea of Spirit.
The Sea of Spirit was the source of Spiritual Power. Therefore, connecting with it was extremely important for cultivating Spiritual Power. The difference in a Soul Master's Spiritual Power cultivation before and after connecting with the Sea of Spirit could be described as the difference between heaven and earth.
On the continent today, opening the Sea of Spirit was no longer a major threshold, but the benefits it brought remained very real.
Having broken through to the Spirit Connection Realm, Xu Yuan's first thought was also to connect with his Sea of Spirit.
Feeling his Five Elements Spear Spirit, Xu Yuan sensed his Sea of Spirit under its guidance. Activating his Brain Martial Soul, he vaguely sensed that space.
He concentrated his Spiritual Power.
He charged forward!
Boom!
His mind became utterly clear, as though his Spiritual Power had found its source. Xu Yuan's thoughts instantly became unhindered as well.
It was a vast space. There was no so-called ocean of Spiritual Power within it, only a tiny stream. The amount of Spiritual Power was pitifully small.
At the Spirit Connection Realm, if not for the assistance of a Soul Spirit, Spiritual Power at this level would certainly be unable to sense the Sea of Spirit. Even if one sensed it and connected with it, the Spiritual Power within the Sea of Spirit would still be no more than a stream.
Perhaps only when this tiny stream filled up and truly became a lake could it initially be called a "sea." By then, it would be the Spirit Sea Realm.
Withdrawing his thoughts from the Sea of Spirit, Xu Yuan opened his eyes and saw his uncle.
"Your Spiritual Power broke through too?"
Xu Yuan nodded.
"My Spiritual Power was already at eighty-one points a month ago. This month, I consumed too many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, so I reached the ninety-nine-point limit long ago. Now that I've contracted a Soul Spirit, my Spiritual Power naturally broke through as well."
With the increase after his breakthrough and the feedback from connecting with the Sea of Spirit, Xu Yuan felt that his Spiritual Power had exceeded one hundred points.
He would need to test it to know the exact amount.
"That was far too risky." Xu Shengqun was still somewhat shaken. "The Spirit Connection Realm has only just reached the theoretical minimum requirement. While one's will can reach wherever one's thoughts do, and one has the foundation to connect with the Sea of Spirit..."
Xu Yuan did not feel that there had been any danger. Everything just now had seemed to happen naturally.
"Uncle, let's test my current data first."
Xu Yuan felt that his Soul Power had increased by at least more than one level.
Xu Shengqun took out a disc-shaped device from his Storage Soul Guidance Device and handed it to Xu Yuan.
"Level thirteen!"
Even a century-old Soul Spirit did not contain much Soul Power. At most, it could raise Xu Yuan by two levels. The extra level should have come from the lingering effects of those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
"Test your Spiritual Power too."
Xu Yuan nodded and followed his uncle to the Cultivation Room, where the equipment was quite comprehensive.
He put on the helmet and fully activated his Spiritual Power.
The numbers on the screen rapidly flickered.
"One hundred and three!" Xu Shengqun cried out.
It had increased by thirty points just like that?
Even most Soul Elders were only around this level, and some Soul Ancestors were not much stronger.
Xu Shengqun once again keenly realized just how gifted his nephew was in Spiritual Power.
"What about your Soul Skill? Try it."
Brothers, I've accepted my fate too. I know I'm terrible at naming things, so I'm collecting names for the Soul Spirit. If one feels suitable, I'll use it directly.
