Benefits of Spear Spirit Evolution (Please Follow!!!)

Weapon Soul Spirits were a special case among the Metal Soul Spirits, a branch of Soul Spirits pioneered by Xu Yuan's father, Xu Zhi.

With experience in creating such Artificial Soul Spirits, the Spirit Pagoda had naturally tried producing other Weapon Soul Spirits as well. However, the cost was high, and very few were made.

Moreover, such Soul Spirits had no Gene Pool at all. A hundred years was the most cost-effective state. If they were directly nurtured to a thousand years with soul power, they would be like Ice Silkworm-type Soul Spirits—basically useless.

They would possess only cultivation years, without corresponding strength.

This clearly ran contrary to the Spirit Pagoda's original expectations for Weapon Soul Spirits.

Thus, after that one attempt at forced nurturing, the Spirit Pagoda had not continued directly pouring soul power into the remaining Weapon Soul Spirits.

Some researchers put forward a theory—one proposed by Xu Yuan's father. He said that since Weapon Soul Spirits lacked the Gene Pool of Soul Beasts, obtaining an ideal high-year Weapon Soul Spirit required exploring the very essence of the Soul Spirit. This meant it had to be contracted by a Soul Master, preferably one with a corresponding Weapon Soul, and that Soul Master had to be talented enough.

Exploring a Soul Spirit's essence meant developing the racial skills of Weapon Soul Spirits, essentially enriching their Gene Pool from nothing.

For instance, a Spear Soul Spirit could improve through Spear Will or one's comprehension of spear techniques, thereby influencing the Spear Spirit.

Besides improvements in artistic conception and one's comprehension and understanding of weapons, one could also consider the metal used to create the Soul Spirit. To achieve the best effect, it would be best if the fused Soul Master handled it personally.

A true thousand-year Weapon Soul Spirit had never appeared before.

The one on Xu Yuan might be the first case.

Xu Shengqun highly approved of his nephew's understanding of spear techniques, and he was also very confident in his own Heavenly Saint Piercing Void Spear Intent.

That was right. Although Xu Yuan's Five Elements Spear Spirit had failed to inherit that Spear Intent at the time, it still possessed the foundation of that Spear Intent. With such a foundation, and with Xu Yuan practicing Xu Shengqun's Heavenly Saint Piercing Void Spear Technique, they came from the same lineage. Given his understanding of that spear technique, he was fully capable of supporting the Five Elements Spear Spirit in uncovering its own talent in Void Breaker.

Xu Yuan opened his eyes and found that he had already returned home.

"How is it? Did the Spear Spirit's evolution bring any changes? And what about your Soul Skill? Has it changed at all?"

Hearing his uncle's question, Xu Yuan carefully sensed the changes within himself.

"As for the Soul Skill, only its power has increased. In the Heaven Origin Brush form, my control over the Five Elements has greatly improved. The effect of using Elemental Power through elemental control has doubled!"

Of course, that was only what appeared on the surface.

With his degree of control improved, the control techniques Xu Yuan had previously been bottlenecked in had naturally broken through. He could also continue studying more advanced techniques through the fundamental enhancement of his Soul Skill.

In short, the direct improvement was tremendous, while the indirect benefits for his future were equally obvious.

"In Heaven Origin Spear form, the Five Elements Spear Tactic has become more complete." Xu Yuan's expression turned somewhat strange as he spoke.

This Five Elements Spear Tactic really was a spear technique!

Now that it had advanced to a thousand years, the Soul Skill bestowed upon him by the Five Elements Spear Spirit had become more complete in terms of spear techniques.

"A spear technique? It became more complete?" Xu Shengqun was equally astonished. He had never expected Weapon Soul Spirits to work like this.

The bestowed Soul Skill was a spear technique, and as the Soul Spirit evolved, the spear technique could advance as well.

He suddenly thought of something and grabbed Xu Yuan by the shoulders.

"Xiao Yuan, what specific details and techniques does the completed Five Elements Spear Tactic contain?"

Xu Yuan's mind worked quickly. Seeing how excited his uncle was, he immediately understood what had stirred him up.

He released his First Soul Ring and activated his Soul Skill. The Five Elements Spear Tactic unfolded in his hands with remarkable smoothness.

The more Xu Shengqun watched, the more excited he became.

"As expected, it evolved based on the spear techniques you've mastered!"

Xu Shengqun saw traces of many spear techniques within Xu Yuan's Five Elements Spear Tactic, including even some techniques from the Heavenly Saint Piercing Void Spear Technique.

Xu Yuan also understood his uncle's excitement.

This meant that the Spear Spirit's evolution was the evolution of spear techniques.

If the Spear Spirit evolved to become powerful enough, the spear technique would evolve to become powerful enough as well. And the more powerful spear techniques it absorbed as nourishment during its evolution, the stronger the spear technique evolved by merging those techniques would become!

It was practically a Spear Technique Deduction Device!

"Are there any other changes?" Xu Shengqun asked after calming down.

"Yes. The Five Elements Spear Spirit has become more spiritual. Unfortunately, it still hasn't developed true Wisdom, but our coordination in battle should become more seamless. Also..." Xu Yuan held the Heaven Origin Spear and began demonstrating directly.

The rest was not something that could be explained with words.

The Five Elements Spear Tactic was a spear technique, but it was also a Soul Skill.

Xu Yuan had previously only displayed the spear technique. Now, he revealed its true strength.

Five Elements Power circulated, winding around the spear tip.

Unlike before, this time there was no Spear Intent inherent to Xu Yuan's Heaven Origin Spear. Instead, another artistic conception, one more focused upon the spear itself, spread outward.

"Spear Will!" Xu Shengqun recognized that artistic conception.

Spear Intent was using the spear to carry Heaven and Earth Momentum.

Spear Will was an artistic conception more focused upon the spear itself.

Neither was superior to the other. One sought the outside, control over the external world; the other sought the inside, understanding and exploring the spear itself.

"Though it hasn't fully evolved yet, it already has a rudimentary form." Xu Shengqun had never expected the Soul Skill granted to Xu Yuan by the Spear Spirit to directly allow him to grasp Spear Will.

For Soul Masters with spear-type Martial Souls, this was an exceptional Soul Skill.

Not to mention that it came with an entire spear technique.

"Alright, put it away." Xu Shengqun could sense that Xu Yuan was still somewhat mentally exhausted. It was not suitable for him to maintain Spear Will for long.

Exiting the Spear Will state, Xu Yuan rubbed his brow.

He had fought in the Spirit Ascension Platform for an entire day, keeping his mind taut the whole time. His condition was terrible now.

But even that could not conceal his excitement.

Because only he could feel it more clearly. He felt that as long as he did not neglect his spear training, the Spear Soul Spirit's existence would be like a cheat for his spear practice!

The Spear Soul Spirit was like another person, someone naturally suited to the spear.

They shared insights and shared understanding.

The efficiency of his spear training would at least double!

"I originally thought I'd have to take you there several more times, or simply wait until you had spent over three days in the Spirit Ascension Platform." Returning to the main topic, Xu Shengqun gave a bitter laugh and said to Xu Yuan, "Since you completed your Soul Spirit's evolution in just one day, we won't delay any longer. After you rest for a day, we'll head to Shrek City."

There were only five days left until Shrek's entrance examination.

"Mm."

One day later.

Xu Yuan set off from Skysea City for Shrek City in his uncle's Mecha.

That was right, a Mecha.

Xu Shengqun owned a black Mecha, which was also his usual means of transportation.

Sitting inside the Mecha, Xu Yuan found the experience rather novel.

"Heh, this Mecha is pretty fun." Xu Yuan turned his head and said, "Uncle, I need to get myself a Mecha someday too, and it has to be the coolest-looking one."

"You can, but you'll have to earn it yourself. And all of that must be under the condition that it doesn't delay your regular cultivation."

"Don't worry, Uncle. I won't neglect my cultivation or Battle Armor crafting," Xu Yuan promised.

A Black Grade Mecha flew extremely fast.

Xu Yuan had not even gotten over his excitement when the outline of Shrek City appeared in the distance.
