The golden soul power emanating from the air gradually thinned out. Qian Yuelong, who was sitting cross-legged, opened her eyes. A pale holly light flashed in her eyes and disappeared into the pure pale purple.
Yue Guan gracefully landed from the treetop, watching Qian Yuelong put away her martial spirit, pat her skirt, and stand up from the ground. She looked at Qian Yuelong with a face full of curiosity, confirming that the surging soul power aura around her had completely stabilized, and said in surprise, "You... that's it? Are you alright?"
Feeling lighter and more comfortable than ever before, Qian Yuelong spread her right hand, circulated her soul power, and released the Floating World Golden Lotus, which had bloomed after absorbing the soul ring and had a horizontal area almost the size of a washbasin. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Yue Guan: "No, I feel super good right now."
[Beep—Faith value +5, current faith value: -368]
Yue Guan looked at Qian Yuelong, who showed no signs of discomfort, with awe and exclaimed, "This is truly incredible. Common sense seems to have lost its effect on you; it can only be explained by a miracle."
"There are indeed Soul Masters on the continent who have surpassed a hundred-year Soul Ring with just one ring, but they all improved their skills later on. To date, there has never been a precedent for a Soul Master like you who absorbed a thousand-year Soul Ring as their first Soul Ring upon awakening their Martial Soul!"
As he spoke, Yue Guan's gaze toward Qian Yuelong grew increasingly intense.
The scorching gaze made Qian Yuelong chuckle dryly, and she said, "Now you have it."
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan's smile deepened. He bent his right knee, half-squatting to meet Qian Yuelong's gaze, and extended his hand to her. His soft, feminine voice was as gentle as when speaking to a lover, more tender than ever before: "Qian Yuelong, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
The talent she displayed completely impressed him, even overshadowing his original plan to practice Tai Chi.
Regardless of his stance or the Pope's watchful eye, Yue Guan is now preoccupied with the thought of finding a treasure and making a quick move on it.
Qian Yuelong responded immediately after Yue Guan finished speaking, extending her hand without hesitation.
"Of course I would, teacher."
A dazzling light shone in Yue Guan's eyes as he uttered three "good"s in succession, his joy impossible to conceal.
"I never imagined that I would meet a disciple who suits my taste so well in my lifetime!"
If there is anything most important to a Soul Master besides family, friends, and becoming stronger, it is the desire to leave behind a legacy.
A legacy that can endure for generations to come, and even illuminate the entire continent.
For a Soul Master, this would be the greatest honor and the greatest affirmation.
And now, he has disciples too!
Yue Guan tightened his grip on the small hand, his gaze towards Qian Yuelong incredibly gentle, yet his words were filled with cruelty: "From now on, I will teach you everything I have learned in my life. However, I will not give you any special treatment just because you are my disciple. On the contrary, I will train you even more rigorously, even throwing you alone into the dens of ferocious soul beasts for training. Can you accept that?"
Qian Yuelong calmly looked back at her: "Yes. The path to the Great Dao is full of thorns, and it is common to be pricked and bleed. I am aware of this and will not run away. Even if I am afraid, I will try my best to muster the courage to move forward. But if I really lack that courage, please give me a push, teacher."
Finally, Qian Yuelong lowered her head and spoke respectfully.
"good!"
Seeing Qian Yuelong's calm and composed demeanor, Yue Guan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He smiled and released her hand, stood up, and asked, "What is your current soul power level?"
Qian Yuelong, already prepared, gave the answer: "Level 24".
Yue Guan clapped his hands: "Hmm, after all, it's the first ring in a thousand years. However, it shouldn't just be a boost to soul power. What is your first soul skill?"
She closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, then hesitantly revealed the function of her first soul skill: "My first soul skill is called Azure Flame. Its function is to transform flames into a shield, or to use burning as an attack method. By the way, thanks to the Azure Flame Lotus's characteristic that its petals do not extinguish when exposed to water, I seem to be immune to fire. As for water... I haven't tried it yet."
Yue Guan pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that your martial soul is indeed of the support type. However, it is the first ring in a thousand years, and you absorbed it at a level higher than yourself, so the effect of your soul skill should not be so ordinary... Well, after you obtain your second soul ring, I will guide you through the subsequent teaching to gradually explore your martial soul's potential and master your soul skills."
Qian Yuelong nodded obediently: "Okay, teacher."
Yue Guan nodded and then posed another important question: "Now that you have obtained your first spirit ring and know the type of your spirit, it is up to you to decide the direction of your spirit's development."
Currently, there are only two main categories of martial souls: weapon martial souls and beast martial souls. Even plant martial souls are included in weapon martial souls, while elemental martial souls are an exception.
As for the development direction, such as food-type, reconnaissance-type, combat-type, healing-type, control-type, power-attack-type, agility-attack-type, defense-type, etc., it is up to the Soul Master to decide.
Generally, one should decide on their development direction before obtaining the first spirit ring. However, Qian Yuelong's situation is special. Her spirit is a new type that has appeared for the first time and has unknown effects. Therefore, she can only wait until she obtains the first spirit ring before deciding on her development direction.
Frankly speaking, although the first soul skill completely overshadows the defensive support role, but...
Having cultivated a battle umbrella in her past life, and now a support-oriented character with a weak offensive style, Qian Yuelong still wanted to struggle one more time, choosing a class that wavered between a battle spirit master and a weapon spirit master—
"I choose the Control Engineering major!"
Although it's a plant-based martial soul, it's an offensive type. Yue Guan asked again to confirm, "Are you sure you want to choose the control type? No changing it?"
Qian Yuelong nodded firmly: "No change." At worst, she could evolve a soul skill that could bind and entangle people like the male lead, and still become the most dazzling star on the battlefield.
Yue Guan readily agreed, “Alright. Then choose another type of illusion-attribute plant-type soul beast for your second soul ring, the Moon Heart Lotus. If I’m not mistaken, you should be able to obtain a spirit-type soul skill after absorbing the Moon Heart Lotus’s soul ring. Of course, this also depends on luck.”
luck!
Qian Yuelong, the chosen one of great fortune from another world, straightened her back: "I think it's great, I'm incredibly lucky!"
886, who was hiding in his soul space, nodded in deep agreement.
Yue Guan chuckled, reached out and ruffled Qian Yuelong's hair, saying, "Let's go, lucky little one. Hopefully, the second ring won't take us several days to find like this one."
Qian Yuelong: "......"
The odds of winning one out of sixteen are really not bad for her.
It must be because 886's bad luck infected her, but luckily her good luck still allowed her to make a fortune.
886: ?
