With a loud CRASH, a thick tree trunk fell to the ground,
kicking up a cloud of dust. The birds perched in the surrounding trees were startled, instantly taking flight.
"So this is your first soul skill, Pea...Shooter?"
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but re-examine the Pea Shooter in front of him.
Ye Fan gently shook his head. "My first soul skill, I've named it Summon."
"Every time I use the soul skill, I can summon something different."
No matter what soul ring he absorbed, the soul skill he obtained would be the same.
Ye Fan's first soul ring flashed again.
This time, it was a Sunflower that appeared.
Two very basic plants.
In addition, he could also summon Walnut, Potato Mine, Sun-shroom, Puff-shroom, Scaredy-shroom, and Cabbage-pult.
However, he wouldn't show Yu Xiaogang those. Looking at these two plants, Yu Xiaogang was completely dumbfounded. He had never seen such an abstract soul skill before, that actually had different effects.
Each one could be considered a different soul skill.
"It can actually summon different plants."
Yu Xiaogang was utterly stunned.
Compared to that,
wasn't Tang San just a complete waste?
"Besides the plants, there are zombies too."
Ye Fan's first soul ring flashed again.
This time, he was using the power from the Zombie Illustrated Handbook.
With a flash of black light, an ordinary zombie, the size of an adult and wearing a suit and tie, appeared.
Following that, he summoned again.
This time, he summoned an Imp Zombie. The first soul ring of the Zombie Illustrated Handbook could only summon a few things, only three in total.
There was still a Conehead Zombie, the one with a traffic cone on its head, that hadn't been summoned yet; he needed to hold something back.
If he summoned everything, Ye Fan's Soul Power would likely be almost completely depleted.
If it weren't for the double Soul Power, he wouldn't have been able to finish summoning everything.
Although the two Illustrated Handbooks could summon a large number of plants and zombies, the Soul Power consumption was also enormous.
At the same time, these summoned creatures also had a time limit.
Where there was power, there were naturally flaws.
Both of them had obtained Soul Rings, so there was no need to stay in the Hunting Spirit Forest any longer. The three of them kept walking towards the outside of the Hunting Spirit Forest. After arriving at the town outside the Hunting Spirit Forest, the three of them rented a carriage and returned to the Notting Elementary Spirit Master Academy.
This time, it could be said that Yu Xiaogang had suffered a great loss.
However, fortunately, it didn't affect his actions.
Back in Notting Elementary Spirit Master Academy,
Tang San and the other person returned to Yu Xiaogang's room. Ye Fan went back to the Seventh Dorm for Work-study Students. There was no one else in the Seventh Dorm at this time; according to the schedule, they were still in class.
He sat cross-legged on the bed.
Spreading out his hands,
he held an Illustrated Handbook in each hand, one in the left and one in the right.
Two purple Soul Rings overlapped beneath him, emitting a dense purple light.
Ye Fan took out the one-thousand-year Soul Ring age-increasing card from his system space, and directly applied it to his first Soul Ring.
The card split into two streams of light and landed on two Illustrated Handbooks.
The light on the purple Soul Ring became even richer, and the age of the Soul Ring was now close to three thousand years.
Ye Fan clearly felt his physique improving again.
He looked at the two Illustrated Handbooks.
In the space within the Illustrated Handbooks, there were the forms of plants and Zombies.
They were also constantly getting stronger. The Pea Shooter's height and attack power had increased. If he were to attack that thick tree trunk again this time, he would need to use fewer bullets. The increase in the Soul Ring's age was also accompanied by an increase in Soul Power. The clearest feeling was that it originally took seventy to eighty percent of his Soul Power to release all the summons, but now it only took sixty to seventy percent.
Ye Fan was now a little curious about the extent to which his Soul Power level had increased after absorbing a Soul Ring equivalent to nearly three thousand years.
The only thing to do now was to go to the Spirit Hall in Notting City to test his Soul Power level.
He left the dormitory and walked outside.
The bell signaling the end of class rang.
The students exiting the classrooms didn't head towards the cafeteria or dorms.
Instead, they quickly moved towards the direction of the playground.
Ye Fan then remembered that, according to the original plot, the Work-study Students were supposed to fight Xiao Chenyu today.
Xiao Chenyu provoked Xiao Wu, Tang San stepped in, and in the end, Xiao Wu became the big sister of everyone.
However, Ye Fan had no interest in helping Xiao Wu.
After a simple inquiry in Notting City, he quickly found the Notting City Spirit Hall.
After stating his purpose was to test his Soul Power level, the young Spirit Hall gatekeeper didn't stop him and let him in.
"Go to the reception hall and find Master Mashinuo."
Ye Fan, led by a staff member, went upstairs and met Master Mashinuo in the office.
"Testing soul power level and conducting a Spirit Master level assessment?"
Master Mashinuo was somewhat taken aback. "Are you sure? You're only six years old, aren't you?"
Ye Fan smiled slightly.
"I have Innate Full Soul Power."
Master Mashinuo exclaimed twice,
"No wonder, no wonder,"
"Such good talent,"
"Release your Martial Soul."
Ye Fan spread his arms.
On his left and right, there were two Illustrated Handbooks. Beneath his feet, two overlapping Soul Rings emitted a rich yellow glow.
"Two books as Martial Souls?"
"What a strange mutated Martial Soul."
Master Mashinuo took out a yellow crystal ball. "Place your right hand on it. If nothing unexpected happens, you should have Level 11 Soul Power."
When Ye Fan placed his right hand on it, a strong light burst from the pale yellow crystal ball.
Master Mashinuo's eyes widened. "Ten… Level 15 Soul Power?"
"How is this possible!"
"Could it be because the soul ring itself is powerful, and it brought an increase in Soul Power?"
"But, it shouldn't be a four-level jump."
He really couldn't figure out why.
However, Ye Fan felt quite normal when he learned he was at level fifteen Soul Power.
That was a soul ring approaching three thousand years old. He even felt it was a little less than it should be, as if some unknown force had deducted his Soul Power.
When leaving the Spirit Hall, Ye Fan received a Spirit Hall Badge crafted by the Spirit Hall and a Gold Soul Coin.
But even this Gold Soul Coin was better than nothing.
Ye Fan had just walked out of the Spirit Hall's gate,
The system's voice suddenly rang out.
[Plot modification successful. Tang San was taught a lesson by Boss Xiao. Affection from the opposite sex towards you in Xiao Wu's heart has decreased significantly. Reward: Affection from the opposite sex towards you has increased significantly.]
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment.
The plot had been modified without him doing anything?
Could this possibly be the legendary Butterfly Effect? He had gained a little more understanding of the system; the Butterfly Effect also came with rewards.
He felt that even if he did nothing now, and let things play out, Tang San would have many different aspects later on, bringing him a lot of rewards.
However, this reward felt a bit useless. Affection was linked to strength and money. In a situation where everyone was a stranger,
the lowest level of affection towards the Spirit Hall's Pope would be higher than the highest level of affection towards a beggar.
