The next day, when he enrolled, he is in the genius class of the spirit hall. He is given a cultivation technique and guided by a teacher. " Close your eyes, sit in a meditation position, now remember the instructions from the book. Take a deep breath, try to feel the soul power around you and guide it in your body, try running it in multiple cycles and store it in your body ".
Yan did as the teacher said. But he felt this process is too inefficient, he can feel his soul power improving but at a slow rate, and much of soul power he is absorbing is dissipating in this process. But Yan didn't try to do as he please. He just followed this cultivation technique.
Afterall, for now, this will be his cultivation technique for the time being. At least until he can defeat someone and earn some points to buy a suitable technique for himself. For today, he copied the Trait, Giant's strength from someone with Demon Ape martial soul.
[ Trait : Giant's strength (C) has been acquired ]
As Yan merged with it, he felt his strength increased. His muscles bulged, he took huge breaths as his body adjusted to the trait. Yan checked his martial soul. It's burning with flames. Orange red flames and black flames. He opened his status and took a look.

Reincarnator trait is the one that allowed him to keep his past life memories. It also allows him to deviate fate with his actions. In other words, he is a variable that shapes the story now just like Tang San. As Yan contemplated while looking at the panel, he is also very concerned about the traits.
He needs good ones. He got 6 traits only, he got the close combat mastery from a beast type soul master. As Yan is contemplating about this, the time for classes is again here. In the genius class, he met talented people. They're all with innate soul power above level 7. There is Hu Liena and Xie Yue. His future companions. He saw their entries and raised an eyebrow.
[ Hu Liena ]
[ Title : Disciple of Pope, Student of Genius class, Charmer, Fox-like ]
[ Age : 6 ]

He chose to copy, the innate soul power entry. As he soon as he did. He felt his soul power increased. But he haven't yet made a breakthrough to level 10. Opening his status, he found the soul power increased from 9.05 to 9.55 now.
As Yan looked at the improvement with an amused face, he wanted to copy, Qian Renxue's entry of Innate 20 soul power. But he that's not possible for now. Forget about standing near her and copying this trait, he can't even see her at this time in spirit hall. Yan listened to the classes. Well they're pretty boring. He wanted to copy the trait to solve this instead.
His trait not only gives him the ability but also the current mastery of the target on it along with the progress made by the target too. So if he copied a theory entry, he will get all the knowledge they learned until now. If he copies someone's cultivation technique, that is if it is listed as an entry then he will get the mastery too.
As he is looking at their direction too much, Xie Yue who is disattisfied thinking this kid is eying his sister asked with a provocative tone," where are you looking at? Believe it or not, I'll dug your eyes out if you keep staring at my sister ".
Yan frowned and said," come on then. I'm not afraid of you. And who cares about you sister. She is cute alright but do spirit city lack beauties ", seeing Yan say that Xie Yue is furious. He shouted," bastard, do you dare to fight me? I'll kill you. Come and fight if you're a man ".
Yan grinned," then let's go to the training grounds ", the instructor didn't even stop them, in spirit hall academy, fights are common occurrence unless it occured into a life threatening level, no one will stop. And there is even an arena to fight and hone their skills in the spirit city, but only soul masters with at least one soul ring are allowed to enter it.
Unlike souo fighting arena, this arena in spirit hall is different, for each rank, there will be rankings and rewards equivalent to it once every two months.
