Chapter 7: Harvest.
After two days, the group finally completed their soul hunt, and everyone obtained relatively satisfactory spirit rings.
After exiting the forest, they retrieved their carriages and finally returned to school in the evening.
"It's getting late now, so everyone should go to the Spirit Hall tomorrow to register as a Spirit Master. Today, you should return to the dorms and rest," the principal instructed everyone.
Xiao Fei greeted the others and headed back to the blacksmith shop. Everyone there was already preparing to leave. He quickly greeted Tie Niu. "Xiao Fei, you're finally back.
How was your soul hunt this time? Didn't you get a satisfactory spirit ring? Xiao Fei, you'll be a Spirit Master in the future, and you can go to the Spirit Hall to receive your Spirit Master subsidy."
"We were very lucky this time. With the help of our school principal, we managed to obtain a good spirit ring. Tomorrow morning, our principal will organize us to register at the Spirit Hall," Xiao Fei replied.
"Great! Xiao Fei will be a Spirit Master in the future. Let's drink a lot tonight and celebrate," Tie Niu said happily. The people around him gathered together, laughing.
The dinner was more sumptuous than usual, and everyone was delighted. Several people drank several jars of wine. It was Xiaofei's first time drinking alcohol since entering this world. Looking at the simple people around him, Xiaofei felt reassured and happy. He thought to himself, "These are ordinary people, just ordinary people who simply desire the simplest, most unpretentious lives."
The blacksmith shop closed for the evening, and Xiaofei was the only one sitting in the backyard, sorting out his soul hunting haul.
First, Xiaofei obtained his first spirit ring, one that had surpassed its age limit. Xiaofei felt his flames grow stronger, a feeling of familiarity. He summoned his Fire Phoenix spirit, and felt the phoenix become more condensed, its flames seemingly stronger.
He casually struck out, and it felt like even these ordinary attacks dealt fire damage. Thinking about it, it felt like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit, whose attacks also had a lightning effect.
"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Flame." Xiao Fei activated his first soul skill and felt the flames within him increase by 50%. This was a continuous effect. The soul power within him increased the flames' damage, continuously consuming soul power.
Based on Xiao Fei's soul power, he estimated that this skill could last for approximately 20 minutes. As soul power increases, the duration will also increase. It's comparable to many soul masters' third soul skills.
Xiao Fei then cancelled the Fire Phoenix spirit's possession and summoned his right hand spirit. While its appearance remained largely unchanged, its power seemed to have increased by approximately 20%.
This wasn't a secondary awakening of the original spirit. It was merely a sign of awakening, though not fully awakened, perhaps only about 20%. Awakening would likely require obtaining the sixth or even seventh soul ring, which might be more difficult than expected. Overall, his physical fitness had improved, especially his right hand.
Finally, his palms had been experiencing a tingling sensation for the past few days, as if something was trying to emerge. However, with so many people around, Xiao Fei was suppressing the feeling. Now that no one's around, feel free to use your palms.
Xiao Fei channeled his soul power into his palms, and five claws suddenly appeared across his fingers. Upon closer inspection, they were incredibly sharp, tinged with a hint of fire, and remarkably similar to the Flame Lion King's claws. Xiao Fei was so excited that his entire body was shaking.
"Could this be the legendary external soul bone? The Flame Lion King's palm external soul bone! Hahaha! I finally have my first soul bone, and it's a growing one."
With that, all the gains from his first soul ring were complete. It was a truly fruitful harvest. No one else had gained more from their first soul ring than I did. This might be the benefit of absorbing soul rings beyond the time limit, but it also carries significant risks. If it weren't for his right-hand martial spirit, Xiao Fei would have exploded and died.
That night, Xiao Fei continued meditating in the blacksmith shop. He felt as if his meditation speed had increased. "What's the reason?" Xiao Fei shook his head, bewildered. "Who cares? A faster meditation speed is a good thing anyway."
And so, the night passed in a bewildered state. The next morning, the principal led six people to the Spirit Hall. Entering the Spirit Hall, the principal asked directly, "Is Master Masuo here?
Take us to see him?" It was clear that the principal and the staff were quite familiar with each other. After all, in a small place like Notting City, many spirit masters graduated from the Spirit Master Academy.
Led by staff, the group arrived at the Spirit Hall's main hall. Master Mashounuo and several staff members were present, including Master Su Yuntao. Liang Fei quickly nodded and greeted Master Su Yuntao.
Master Mashounuo asked, "Principal, how did you find the time to come here in person today? Have some promising students emerged from the school?"
The principal laughed heartily, "Not bad! Six students have become Spirit Masters this time." It was clear the principal was genuinely pleased. For a principal, what could be more gratifying than seeing their students excel?
"Well, congratulations! I'll test your Spirit Power first," Master Mashounuo said.
Everyone lined up for the Spirit Power test, most of whom were at level 11. Mashounuo tested each one, handing them an iron badge after each one. Then, he took out a black booklet containing their personal information, including their Spirit, Spirit Power level, and innate Spirit Power.
He stamped it, then personally handed it to each student. He also gave each a gold Spirit Coin and offered a few words of encouragement. Everyone was clearly excited. After all, from today on, they were spirit masters.
Wang Xiaofei was the last to take the test. Looking at the gleaming crystal ball, Master Masuo was visibly excited. "This is level 13! You've just obtained a spirit ring and you're already level 13! Not bad. What spirit beast did you hunt?"
The principal quickly replied, "I'm personally leading the team this time. We've hunted the Flame Lion King, a spirit beast over 400 years old."
The principal had already discussed this with Xiaofei. If he needed to specify the spirit ring, he'd say it was 400 years old. Saying 600 years might cause problems. Xiaofei, fearing trouble, readily agreed.
In fact, Xiaofei felt like he'd already reached the 14th level barrier, a breakthrough in a week at most.
"Little boy, you're only six years old this year, and you're already level 13. You're not interested in studying at our Spirit Hall Academy. You'll have better futures there. There will even be Spirit Emperors and even Spirit Sages to mentor you."
"Go away, this is a student of Notting Academy. How dare you poach me?" the principal exclaimed.
"It's for the future of the children. Let the children choose for themselves or their parents. This will be better for their future development." Master Mashounuo said with a kind face and a smile.
"I'm sorry, Master Mashounuo, my family lives in the Holy Soul Village. My grandfather and I are the only ones who depend on each other.
I can't bear to leave my grandfather and the villagers, and the dean is very good to me. So I don't want to go to other schools for the time being." Xiao Fei said seriously.
Master Mashounuo looked disappointed, "Okay, wait until you graduate from the Junior Soul Master Academy and then think about it seriously. The Spirit Hall Soul Master Academy is definitely the best choice for us civilians."
Just like that, Xiao Fei got his own Soul Master certificate and a gold soul coin, and he will have one gold soul coin every month in the future. It can be regarded as a temporary solution to his financial problems.
