Several days later
Third person POV
Without even realizing it Jack's theory had been sent to the main branch and was publicized through the spirit hole and it is caused a Maelstrom of reactions across the continent. Throughout the world Spirit Masters have praised the high heavens with his theories various forces didn't I like him mainly those big families and top sects because they didn't really do much for them. But for the common people they gave them hope of a brighter future. Noticeably several days worth of time that multiple individuals reported the theory has been validated through their own martial souls evolution. Of course some try to discount it mainly those tied to the big sexts who didn't want this knowledge to become knowledge across the entire continent. But of course most the population refuted those claims because the number of people reporting them true far outweighed the number of people reporting it false.
Deep within Spirit Hall the Pope Qian Xunji. Was sitting on his throne reading the degree proposed by Jack.
"Truly what is splendid theory too bad he isn't from our spirit Hall."
The Pope lamented shaking his head as he looked down at his newly accepted disciple Bibi dong. Who's reading a copy of it by his side. He then heard her speak with complete all in her voice.
"Incredible this changes a lot of things not affect the soul Master world completely and there's even a fragment in this essay that said anyone who wishes to learn may come to Apex academy even if they don't join purely because they're Dean loves to teach."
After hearing his disciples say this he couldn't help but not his head the author had particularly stated that he gave this to the people because he loved to teach and he want everyone to learn and approve and strive for better it was something he could actually respect even if it digs into the interest of not just the spirit Hall but also the empires and the sects. But also increases our value and commoners soul Masters because we helped publish this theory and essay. Soon a Bishop entered carrying another book covered in the same pattern as the one in my hands.
"Your Holiness the Pope this is another theory proposed by that eloquent master."
Hearing this I grab the book from him and began reading it. My disciple quickly ran up and was hanging over my shoulder to read with me which I couldn't help but chuckle after all I treat bibi dong as a daughter. I read out loud so she could not destroy her eyes.
"This three contains the technique of Soul tool simulation and evolution for martial souls of the tool type. But be warned by using the technique you should only use it in cooperation with weapons of higher grade than your current standard such as if you have a wooden spear with an iron tip a steel shaft spear with meteoric iron tip would after a period help evolve your martial soul to a higher tear.
Now I will go over the steps for this technique.
1. Find a weapon of higher quality than your Martial souls current quality. And then imbue the weapon with your Martial soul like you are making your weapon possess the higher quality weapon then continue bathing this weapon in your soul power and baptizing it in your martial soul and eventually it will integrate into your martial soul allowing it to evolve.
2. Be ready cuz this will take a long period of time do not let the weapon break. After all if it's broken it may end up degrading your martial Soul instead of upgrading. Also keep in mind that this will take up some natural amount of spirit power depending on the level of your cultivation it could take several months or perhaps even years depending on the jump and quality.
3. And cooperation with 2 I recommend starting off with small quality increases this will shorten the time required for your martial soul evolution and with subsequent evolutions with higher quality weapons of the same type as your martial soul. Will allow for the lowest amount of time. But keep in mind that blacksmiths will have the highest chance of producing high quality weapons so always respect them because they may be the link you need to evolve your martial soul. So do be respectful.
4. Top tier weapon martial souls will be extremely difficult to upgrade to higher qualities because of the both rarity and value of the materials used to create something of superior quality including the time process to forge the higher quality weapon let alone the time used to integrate it into your martial soul. So remember number one lesson with this path is patience. And for some of you who may have mid-tier quality and just a smidge off from being a high-tier or top tier quality martial souls. Patience is your greatest partner and this endeavor it will take money and it will take time.
With all the points illustrated below is an illustration of what to do during the process of assimilation.
You've seen it perfect the weapon you're using to integrate into your martial soul. Should be of similar build do not try to incorporate weapons that are not like yours like with the previous example of Spears you should be doing is using a spear for integration and not a sword. Hybrid weapons are possible to integrate but it will take extreme amount of Fortune a most likely four more time than just an exact copy of your weapon just have higher quality.
I have not had enough time to validate if it's possible or not so please do proceed with caution I rather your future not be ruined because you decided to trailblaze leave that for people who have no hope after all they will blaze the trail much faster than you with higher quality martial souls. Purely because they have no other choice and for those of you who are such people with no hope proceed with caution you may not have hope but you still are a human being do not risk your life unnecessarily.
Written and illustrated by your beloved dean of Apex academy may your growth be forever plentiful."
After reading this theory I couldn't help but feel even more respect for this Dean of Apex academy it showed he truly had a love for teaching and did not care if others know his theories or teaching methods because he was a teacher at heart. Hell it even seemed he was a soul Master at all. From how benevolent he was to share these fate changing theories and opportunities with people.
But again it fills me with regret that he was not part of the spirit Hall. then I heard the voice of my disciple.
"Truly incredible this Dean truly seems like he loves the commoners of the continent but more importantly he seems like a great teacher."
I couldn't help but not with my disciples words but I noticed the bishop had another book with him when the bishop does it he spoke about the contents within the book.
"It's a nursery book for this one about Soul rings and martial souls in general. I will summarize it when it comes to spearings he proposes that it ultimately comes to the physical strength of the soulmaster to absorb Spirit rings of whatever age excluding the 10,000 years Spirit rings which come with a mental shock so you have to cultivate spiritual power to absorb them. Inside the book shows a technique to cultivate spiritual energy but he openly emits that it is not the most effective since he is still pioneering better versions of the technique and will publicize the better versions later.
But when it comes to martial souls in general. That's where things get interesting he states that there are four types of martial souls. Body types which are a part of the body or in the case of mutations will attain something such as ears and tail from their martial soul. Beasts types which take on the aspects of well beasts which are conclusive with one of his previous theories about origin. Weapons and plant types. Which are further divided into pathways for a spirit Master to develop towards. Which are subsequently the attack type, defense type, support type, food type, agility type. Which puts emphasis on the path that a soul Master had chosen to develop their martial soul business aspect he made it clear that focusing on your strength is good but you should also cover for your weaknesses after all the main weakness of agility types are that they hit fast and strong but can't take a hit."
The bishop handed as both a copy of this one and as we both read it we not in our heads cuz it was true I couldn't help but quick and eyebrow as I noticed there is a paper in my book compared to my disciples as I pulled it out it was a note from the dean.
"Greeting your Holiness the Pope. If you found the snow then you're lackeys has decided to pass it long you are welcome to edit my content to say you are a co-founder of the mysterious if you wish I don't really care for fame I'm a teacher after all all I care about is people learning and creating a brighter future for not just the clans of the continent but for the common people after all that would propel the content to a higher state a prosperity I also be publishing potentially some things that will help improve farm land yield soon so that more people will have enough to eat and not have to sell their children into slavery. Yours truly the belove dene.
P.s you are welcome to come by anytime you wish and learn theories ahead of time can bring any students I do not care if they are a student or not I will gladly teach after all that's why I established my Apex academy purely because I have a love for teaching."
Ring this I couldn't help but chuckle as my disciple started reading it up too and giggled because all this did of the so-called Dean was show that he truly didn't care about Fame he just love to teach and apparently he was treating the entire continent his students.
Perspective swap to Jack
After old man one told me that he had sent not just the theories I gave him last time but the new ones through the spirit hole so they could be published I was very happy. Then I heard a notification from the system.
