Spiritual Power—Simply a Genius

Twenty thousand years ago, during the era of Spirit Hall and Tang San, Spiritual Power existed, but it received no attention from the soul masters of that age, nor was there any classification for it.

However, ever since Huo Yuhao and Soul Spirits emerged a thousand years ago, Spiritual Power had become increasingly important to soul masters—Spiritual Power was the foundation for fusing with Soul Spirits. The stronger a Soul Spirit was, the greater the demand on a soul master's Spiritual Power to subdue and fuse with it.

Through the research and summaries of generations of soul masters, Spiritual Power had been divided into six major realms: Spirit Origin Realm, Spirit Connection Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, Spirit Abyss Realm, Spirit Domain Realm, and Divine Origin Realm. At the same time, a numerical value had been established to quantify Spiritual Power for convenience.

Spiritual Power between 0 and 99 points belonged to the Spirit Origin Realm, the most basic level of Spiritual Power, which could support at most a yellow Soul Spirit.

Spiritual Power between 100 and 499 points belonged to the Spirit Connection Realm. At this stage, soul masters could control their Spiritual Power and support purple Soul Spirits.

Above the Spirit Connection Realm was the Spirit Sea Realm, meaning one's Spiritual Power was as deep and vast as the ocean. It was also the foundation for becoming a powerful soul master and could support black Soul Spirits.

A Spirit Sea Realm soul master possessed between 500 and 4,999 points of Spiritual Power, and the Spirit Sea Realm was the limit most soul masters could reach in their lifetimes.

Above the Spirit Sea Realm was the Spirit Abyss Realm. The Spiritual Power of a Spirit Abyss Realm expert was so powerful that it could even affect the material world within a small area. It was also the foundation for becoming a Titled Douluo and could support legendary hundred-thousand-year Soul Spirits.

A Spirit Abyss Realm soul master possessed between 5,000 and 19,999 points of Spiritual Power. This was also humanity's limit; in any era, only a handful of people could break through the shackles of the Spirit Abyss Realm.

Above the Spirit Abyss Realm was the Spirit Domain Realm. At this stage, soul masters could condense their Spiritual Power into a domain and fuse with Soul Spirits of any level. Its power was limitless, and it was also the foundation for becoming a Limit Douluo. Spirit Domain Realm experts possessed between 20,000 and 49,999 points of Spiritual Power.

Finally came the Divine Origin Realm, a domain said to be accessible only to gods. In theory, Divine Origin Realm experts should possess over 50,000 points of Spiritual Power. It was said that only Huo Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda who had ascended to the God Realm, possessed such Spiritual Power.

"Don't be nervous. Stay relaxed. During the test, you may feel slightly dizzy. That's normal. Just stay relaxed."

Just as Yao Xuan was recalling his knowledge of Spiritual Power, the Spirit Master's reminder pulled his attention back to reality.

"Yes, sir. I understand."

After receiving Yao Xuan's reply, the Spirit Master pressed another button on the workbench. The helmet covering Yao Xuan's head immediately began to emit a gentle white glow, while red numbers started flashing across the Soul Guidance Screen beside him.

"20, 30, 40... 85."

The numbers jumped rapidly at first, but soon stabilized. Seeing Yao Xuan's test result, an expression of extreme shock flashed across the Spirit Master's face.

"85 points? How is that possible? Could the machine be malfunctioning?"

Staring at Yao Xuan's result, the Spirit Master muttered to himself. He then walked over to Yao Xuan and said, "Child, the Spiritual Power testing device may have a slight malfunction. Your Spiritual Power data is somewhat abnormal. Don't worry, I'll test you again."

As he spoke, the Spirit Master activated the device again and conducted another test for Yao Xuan. Yet Yao Xuan's Spiritual Power remained the same as before, stopping at 85 points. This proved that there was nothing wrong with the machine.

"85 points of Spiritual Power... Genius, a true genius! Child, may I ask what level your Innate Soul Power is?"

Looking at Yao Xuan, the Spirit Master's voice trembled slightly as he asked.

"Innate Soul Power? My Innate Soul Power is level five."

Hearing the Spirit Master's question, Yao Xuan answered honestly. This information was already on record, so there was no need for him to lie.

"Level five? What a pity! If your Innate Soul Power had reached level seven, then with your Spiritual Power, you would definitely have had a chance to be recommended to join the Spirit Pagoda and receive focused training. What a shame."

Upon hearing Yao Xuan's answer, the Spirit Master revealed a trace of regret in his eyes before continuing.

For ordinary soul masters, their average Spiritual Power at the age of seven and a half was only around thirty points. Yao Xuan's Spiritual Power was nearly three times theirs. It was undeniably powerful. When it came to fusing with Soul Spirits in the future, Yao Xuan possessed an innate advantage.

For a soul master with such powerful Spiritual Power, their Innate Soul Power did not need to be especially high. As long as it reached level seven or above, they would almost certainly have the potential to advance to Soul Saint, perhaps even go further and challenge the realms of Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo. Naturally, the Spirit Pagoda was willing to invest in such people early and bring them under its wing.

However, Yao Xuan's Innate Soul Power was only level five. Generally speaking, even if a soul master with level-five Innate Soul Power had excellent luck, they could at most break through to Soul King or Soul Emperor. Advancing to Soul Saint was nearly impossible. Resources were limited, so the Spirit Pagoda naturally would not allocate additional resources to such soul masters.

So this was why the system set my Innate Soul Power at level five. I see!

As a transmigrator, Yao Xuan had been born with Spiritual Power stronger than that of ordinary children. If his Innate Soul Power had also been exceptionally high, he would likely have been taken away by major forces such as the Spirit Pagoda or the Sun Moon Federation for training.

In that case, although Yao Xuan would have obtained more cultivation resources in the early stages, he would have lost the chance to meet Na'er and plant the seed of "love" in her heart. It would also have been difficult for him to establish a connection with Tang Wulin, the Son of Destiny. It would have been like picking up sesame seeds while losing a watermelon, forfeiting a great opportunity.

"Spirit Master, is my Spiritual Power very high?"

As he pondered this, Yao Xuan knowingly asked.

"More than merely high—it could be called extraordinary genius! You have the best Spiritual Power of any Soul Scholar I've tested in my life! Unfortunately, compared to your Spiritual Power, your Innate Soul Power is still somewhat lacking. Otherwise, your future would have been limitless."

"Still, don't lose heart. Your Spiritual Power will bring tremendous convenience to your future cultivation. As long as you don't slack off, getting into an advanced academy will definitely not be a problem. If you can advance to Soul King in the future and pair that with a mecha, you'll still be considered an influential figure in the soul master world."

"For now, I'll prepare a test report for you. When you head to the Intermediate Soul Master Academy, you can submit it directly. Then I'll take you to choose a Soul Spirit."

Perhaps because Yao Xuan's Spiritual Power was so high, the Spirit Master's tone became much gentler. As he used the Soul Guidance Printer to print Yao Xuan's test results, he encouraged him.
