Human Emperor Banner's First Soul Skill

Some time later, Bai Yu opened his eyes, and Dean Wu impatiently asked:

"Xiao Yu, what is your First Soul Skill?"

Bai Yu smiled.

"Dean, my Human Emperor Banner's First Soul Skill is a Group Buff. Within a certain range, it can enhance my companions to a certain extent."

Dean Wu asked in confusion:

"I remember that this was already your Human Emperor Banner's passive ability. How is your First Soul Skill the same as your passive?"

It was precisely because of the Human Emperor Banner's passive ability that Dean Wu believed Bai Yu had tremendous potential and personally helped him Hunt for a Soul Ring.

But if the First Soul Skill was the same as the passive, their effects would overlap, making the passive Mediocre.

However, Bai Yu merely smiled.

"Dean Wu, you may have misunderstood. My passive increases my companions' Soul Power within a certain range. It can only increase Soul Power."

"But my First Soul Skill enhances far more than just Soul Power."

Dean Wu's heart stirred.

"What do you mean?"

Bai Yu explained:

"For example, right now, if you have a speed-boosting Soul Skill within a certain range, then my First Soul Skill can not only enhance your Soul Power, but also increase your speed!"

Dean Wu was both shocked and delighted as he pressed further:

"Only speed? What about strength, Attack Power, Defense Power, and the like?"

Bai Yu smiled faintly. Of course it could!

Within the Human Emperor Banner's effective range, no matter what you did, I could enhance it.

Moreover, within this range, I had to bind whoever I considered my companion. Anyone I had not bound would receive no bonuses, even standing right beside me. Companions I had assisted would trust me more, and paired with the Succubus Buff, it was simply invincible.

After all, one of the Nightmare Man-eating Flower's greatest methods was controlling puppets in battle. It stored the Soul Power it devoured in its stomach, then transferred it to its puppets at crucial moments to strengthen their combat power. That was one of its abilities as well.

Dean Wu was stunned. He grabbed Bai Yu by the shoulders and shook him hard.

"Xiao Yu, this is a divine skill! Your Human Emperor Banner will one day become one of the finest Support-type Spirits on the entire continent!"

Dean Wu was overjoyed. In his view, Bai Yu's Human Emperor Banner might one day stand shoulder to shoulder with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. If Bai Yu became a major figure, he would surely establish a sect and pass down his legacy. If old Wu had a daughter, he would have sent Bai Yu a child bride right now!

Bai Yu spoke modestly, but inwardly, he was considering another Soul Skill: the Myriad Souls Banner's First Soul Skill.

The Myriad Souls Banner's First Soul Skill had two effects: Create Illusion and devouring.

With the Nightmare Man-eating Flower's Illusionary Realm combined with the Myriad Souls Banner's own effects, it would be difficult for anyone Below Soul Elder to break free from it.

He could use the Illusionary Realm to wear down his opponent's stamina and Soul Power, then swallow them whole, consume all their Soul Power, and have the Myriad Souls Banner perform Soul Refining. Perfect!

The thought thrilled Bai Yu. With the Human Emperor Banner and the Myriad Souls Banner in his hands, he was now confident he could fight someone a full major rank above him!

After sharing their excitement, Dean Wu patted Bai Yu's shoulder.

"Very good. Let's go, we need to hurry back to the academy! Oh, right. Once we return, you can register as a Soul Master at the Spirit Hall Branch. With the Soul Master Subsidy, you won't need to be a Work-Study Student anymore."

Bai Yu nodded. He was not short on money, so he would think about it later.

The two returned to the academy. The Dean went back to his office, while Bai Yu returned to the Seventh Dormitory.

There was no one in the Seventh Dormitory. Bai Yu seemed to remember something and rushed straight to the Training Ground.

On the Training Ground, Xiao Wu was leading everyone from the Seventh Dormitory in a standoff against Boss Xiao's group. After exchanging insults, Boss Xiao was wary of Xiao Wu and proposed a Relay Battle. Each side would send someone out for a one-on-one duel, and whichever side won more matches would win.

After thinking it over, Xiao Wu agreed. Wang Sheng was the first from the Seventh Dormitory to volunteer, but his opponent, Liu Xuan, had a stick Spirit and beat Wang Sheng until he cried out miserably, forcing him into a disadvantage.

At that moment, Tang San walked over. When Xiao Wu saw him, she instinctively took two steps back.

Tang San was somewhat angry, but he suppressed his fury and said:

"Wang Sheng was too hasty. His Spirit is a tiger, so he should have been more patient and looked for an opportunity to close in."

Xiao Wu ignored him, and everyone from the Seventh Dormitory looked at him as though he were a pervert. This infuriated Tang San, and he secretly clenched his fists.

Tang San was a hypocrite, but he wanted to have it both ways. In other words, he cared desperately about saving face. Being looked down upon hurt him more than being killed.

Just wait. Once Wang Sheng loses, I'll go up and turn things around. I'll make sure you all see me in a new light!

I may not have a Soul Ring, but I have the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Demonic Shadow Tracing, and Hidden Weapons. Even all of them put together are no match for me!

As Tang San watched coldly from the sidelines, Wang Sheng was quickly defeated. The others mocked him for a while, and everyone from the Seventh Dormitory looked grim—except Tang San.

Tang San wished Wang Sheng would lose even more miserably. That way, he could compare himself with Wang Sheng afterward and highlight his own prowess. Xiao Wu would definitely see him in a new light and rush to flatter him.

Tang San chuckled and stepped forward, introducing himself.

"Tang San, first-year Work-Study Student. Spirit: Blue Silver Dog. No Soul Ring."

The moment he said that, the opposing side nearly laughed themselves sick.

"Hahahaha, Blue Silver Dog? I've only heard of Blue Silver Grass. What the hell is a Blue Silver Dog?"

"Blue Silver Dog? A dog that grows grass? Does it eat grass or meat?"

"I think it eats shit!"

"Hahahahaha!"

After enduring their insults, Tang San said through gritted teeth:

"Once I defeat you, you'll know how formidable I am!"

Liu Xuan clutched his stomach and laughed.

"Hahahaha, you? I'm so scared!"

Behind him, Boss Xiao wiped the corner of his eye and ordered:

"Liu Xuan, make it quick. Let this kid see what you're made of!"

"Don't worry, Boss Xiao. I can send this guy flying with three swings of my stick!"

Liu Xuan stopped laughing and summoned his Spirit, a stick appearing in his hand.

Tang San also summoned the Clear Sky Dog. The Clear Sky Dog looked ferocious, which did give Liu Xuan quite a shock.

"What a vicious dog. It feels even fiercer than Wang Sheng's Tiger Spirit."

Liu Xuan did not dare let his guard down any longer. He had just finished a match and had expended considerable stamina, so he prepared to defend and counterattack.

At Tang San's command, the Clear Sky Dog charged at Liu Xuan like a husky let loose from its pen, howling as it pounced with imposing momentum.

Liu Xuan could not help taking two steps back. He raised his stick and thrust it at the Clear Sky Dog, but the Clear Sky Dog leaped directly onto the stick and charged toward Liu Xuan along it!

Liu Xuan's face changed drastically. He hurriedly shook the stick, trying to fling the Clear Sky Dog off. But under Tang San's command, the Clear Sky Dog suddenly leaped high into the air, opened its jaws, and bit toward Liu Xuan!

Frightened by the Clear Sky Dog's gaping maw, Liu Xuan hurriedly rolled aside to dodge. But this was exactly what Tang San had wanted!

The Clear Sky Dog suddenly turned around, aimed its Buttocks at the rolling Liu Xuan, and—Pffft!

Under the stunned gazes of Boss Xiao and the others, a huge cloud of yellow-and-blue smoke enveloped Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan was just about to curse when he accidentally inhaled a little Blue Silver Fart. He immediately became dizzy and disoriented, and without daring to think further, quickly held his breath.

While everyone's attention was focused on the Clear Sky Dog and the Blue Silver Fart, Tang San pulled several stones from his pocket, preparing to defeat Liu Xuan with Hidden Weapon techniques!

At that moment, Bai Yu arrived just in time, and the system's narration appeared before his eyes.

[Plot: Tang San uses Hidden Weapon techniques against Liu Xuan, and all the hidden weapons hit their target]

Bai Yu had exchanged all his previous Points for blind boxes. Fortunately, his final basic modification had given him 1 Point. He immediately exchanged it for one basic modification opportunity and changed "hit" to "fly."
