Such a sweet tongue? Let your teacher check!

Yaozhu and Xun had arrived. Everyone, clear the floor.

Not a single person remained in the vast floor of instrument rooms.

Su Xun followed Leng Yaozhu over to a machine and sat beneath it.

A helmet descended, its faint white light encouraging him to unleash his spiritual power to the fullest.

Leng Yaozhu watched the soul guidance screen beside them, her eyes full of anticipation.

The roots of the Six Desires included the eyes, a classic Psychic-Type body martial soul.

Su Xun's talent for spiritual power had to be astonishing!

In fact.

After her earlier assessment.

She already had a fairly good grasp of Su Xun's spiritual power.

Now she simply wanted to see the detailed data.

The numbers on the screen soared.

Soon, they broke past the hundred mark.

A moment later, the reading stabilized.

One hundred and ninety-eight!

Leng Yaozhu's phoenix eyes widened.

Not only was he born in the spirit connection realm, he was already in its middle stage!

Even the Illusory Brain Douluo probably hadn't possessed such high spiritual power when his martial soul awakened!

As expected of the Six Desires Immortal!

As expected of the Six Desires Immortal, which encompassed the eyes—the very location of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao's martial soul, Spiritual Eyes!

Hum!

The machine whirred, and the helmet rose.

Su Xun opened his eyes, stood, and looked at the number on the screen, satisfaction appearing on his face as well.

Generally speaking.

Spiritual power was divided into five realms: spirit origin, spirit connection, spirit sea, spirit abyss, and spirit domain.

Higher realms, such as divine origin, lay beyond the reach of ordinary people.

One hundred and ninety-eight already fell within the middle stage of the spirit connection realm.

This realm was enough to support a purple thousand-year soul spirit.

Leaving physical constitution aside, the thousand-year soul spirit he could support might even possess over three thousand years of cultivation.

"Exceptionally fine innate spiritual power."

"Among all the powerful figures I know, I'm afraid none could compare with you in innate spiritual power."

Leng Yaozhu's face brimmed with indescribable satisfaction.

Su Xun remained calm at her words.

This result came as no surprise to him.

Having lived two lives, it was only natural that his spiritual power was strong.

Moreover, the Six Desire Immortal Lord governed desire. Beyond its convergence with the body itself, it actually leaned more toward the Psychic-Type.

"You're not surprised?"

Seeing Su Xun so calm, Leng Yaozhu was surprised herself.

Su Xun put on a bashful look.

"Lord Pei told me stories about Spirit Ice Douluo the whole way here."

"I thought, since I'd made you come all this way in person, Teacher, I couldn't be any worse than Spirit Ice Douluo!"

Leng Yaozhu immediately smiled and pinched Su Xun's cheek.

"Such a sweet tongue?"

"Come, give your teacher a kiss."

"Let your teacher check what's going on."

As she spoke, she crouched and turned her cheek slightly toward Su Xun.

Even Su Xun blushed at that.

She really was coaxing him like a little toddler in split-crotch pants.

Thinking back, the adults in his previous life had teased children just like this.

He couldn't handle it. He simply couldn't handle it.

"Hmm?!"

Leng Yaozhu gave a dissatisfied little huff.

Helpless, Su Xun could only press a light kiss to Leng Yaozhu's smooth, luminous cheek, flushed a pale peach-blossom pink.

"What a good boy!"

Only then did Leng Yaozhu smile in satisfaction and take Su Xun along to continue his physical tests.

Not long afterward.

The full set of tests was complete.

Leng Yaozhu examined the results and nodded with satisfaction.

"Although the Six Desires Immortal leans toward the Psychic-Type."

"It is, after all, a convergence of body martial souls."

"Your body root gives you a physical constitution comparable to those soul masters with strength-type beast martial souls."

"However, you've lacked proper nutrition from the start. Once we make up for that, you'll certainly surpass them."

"But now that you're with your teacher, you won't have to worry about any of that."

"Your teacher might lack other things, but money isn't one of them."

Leng Yaozhu radiated generosity, her expression practically telling him that, with her as his teacher, he could spend to his heart's content.

Then she took Su Xun to their next stop.

On the way, she brought up soul spirits.

"Your spiritual power is sufficient to withstand a soul spirit with around three thousand years of cultivation."

"However, although the soul spirit system places greater demands on a soul master's spiritual power."

"That's because, generally speaking, a soul master's spiritual power grows more slowly than their physical constitution."

"In other words, for most people, spiritual power is the shortest stave in the barrel."

"But you're different."

"Your body is the shortest stave."

"And even soul rings provided by soul spirits exert pressure on a soul master's body."

"So there's no need to push so hard for the absolute limit when choosing a soul spirit."

"Compatibility is actually what matters most."

"After all, our Spirit Pagoda has the Spirit Ascension Platform. Soul spirits can all be strengthened later."

Su Xun nodded to show he understood.

He was familiar with this knowledge as well.

In this era, when soul spirits could be steadily strengthened after acquisition, compatibility truly mattered more than blindly pursuing a high age.

"The soul spirit reserves at our Spirit Pagoda Headquarters far surpass those in East Sea."

"There may not necessarily be a suitable one here, but we can take a look first."

Leng Yaozhu took Su Xun straight to the highest-grade soul spirit collection floor of the East Sea Spirit Pagoda.

Pei Hai was already waiting.

Seeing Leng Yaozhu holding Su Xun's hand, seemingly unwilling to let go for even a moment.

Pei Hai's heart tightened, then filled with even greater delight.

Although one of his subordinates had discovered Su Xun.

He had been the one to report it to his superiors.

Now that Leng Yaozhu had accepted him as her disciple, Pei Hai could truly be considered the person who had introduced them.

Besides, he already belonged to Leng Yaozhu's faction.

The more pleased Leng Yaozhu was with Su Xun, the greater the benefits Pei Hai could naturally receive in the future.

"Your Eminence, all the Psychic-Type soul spirits in the East Sea Spirit Pagoda, excluding artificial soul spirits, have been prepared."

Thoughts surged through Pei Hai's mind, but he dared show no negligence and promptly delivered his report.

Leng Yaozhu nodded.

"You've done very well."

"Your Eminence, it was only my duty."

Pei Hai's smile deepened. He quickly opened the door and stepped aside to let them pass.

At the same time, he handed all relevant access permissions over to Leng Yaozhu. Rather than follow them inside, he remained on guard outside the door.

Su Xun had intended to offer a bow, but before he could, Leng Yaozhu pulled him into the collection room.

Pei Hai saw this and smiled at Su Xun with a nod.

This child doesn't forget his roots.

Good!

With a clang, the collection room's doors closed.

One oddly shaped Soul Guidance Lamp after another lit up.

In an instant, a dazzling array of soul spirit orbs appeared before them, neatly arranged in individual, specially made glass compartments.

Everything from hundred-year to ten-thousand-year soul spirits was present.

Clearly, Pei Hai hadn't known Su Xun's exact circumstances and had simply brought over the East Sea Spirit Pagoda's entire collection.

"Of your Six Desires Immortal's roots, the 'eye root' is currently the strongest."

"Moreover, there are no soul beasts that possess all six of these traits at once."

"So I suggest you prioritize a soul spirit compatible with the 'eye desire immortal.'"

"Of course, we can discuss the specifics afterward."

In truth, Leng Yaozhu didn't believe the East Sea Spirit Pagoda had a soul spirit compatible with Su Xun.

For now, she merely wanted to take Su Xun to see something new.

Su Xun had no idea what Leng Yaozhu was thinking.

He stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the soul spirits one by one.

Evil Eye, ice silkworm, Silver Moon Wolf, Demon Fox, Heart-Enchanting Butterfly...

Suddenly, his eyes grew hot.

Multicolored illusory light flowed forth on its own, and his gaze focused on a single spot.
