"This World?" Shi Quan raised an eyebrow, asking curiously, "A Meng, are you from another World?"
"I don't know either. I just have a feeling that I don't belong to this World, as if I was brought here by some force." Xiao Meng's voice also sounded uncertain.
"Then A Meng, why did you call me Master when you first arrived?"
Xiao Meng brightly said, "Because you are my Master. I only know that I must be good to Master, obey Master's commands, and help Master wholeheartedly."
Listening to Xiao Meng's words, Shi Quan nodded thoughtfully, sighing inwardly. The System's power was truly formidable. This Dream Butterfly's previous form was definitely not a soul spirit; it was most likely transformed into a soul spirit by some power and instilled with an awareness of absolute loyalty to him.
He didn't know if the System would do anything to him in the future, and this was not something he could consider right now.
Back to the main topic.
"A Meng, can you disguise the colors of the two spirit rings as yellow?"
"No problem."
As soon as Xiao Meng's voice fell, Shi Quan felt a warm current surge from between his brows. The two silver spirit rings beneath him quickly changed, turning into ordinary yellow. They looked no different from hundred-year spirit rings. Only then did Shi Quan nod in satisfaction.
His attention returned to the spirit rings.
After experiencing the Martial Spirit Abilities brought by the two spirit rings, Shi Quan's eyes filled with astonishment. The reason was simple: these two Martial Spirit Abilities were simply too powerful.
The Spirit Ability brought by the first spirit ring was named Dream Ripple by Shi Quan. This Spirit Ability could be either an area-of-effect or single-target.
When Dream Ripple is released, it emits a special aura that continuously induces drowsiness in enemies, making them mentally fatigued and constantly reducing their Battle Intent. Those with weak wills will even fall asleep directly under the ripple's influence.
This is the group effect. If it's a single-target situation, Dream Ripple can form a special attack similar to hypnosis, inducing enemies into a sleep state and temporarily reducing their reaction speed.
The Spirit Ability of the second spirit ring was named Dream Illusion by Shi Quan. It can use mental force to form illusions that are almost tangible. The content of the illusions is personally controlled by Shi Quan. Although there is no actual attack effect, it can easily disrupt enemy attacks.
Dream Illusion also has a very special ability: it can cooperate with Dream Ripple. If an opponent is affected by Dream Ripple to a certain extent, then Dream Illusion can sense the fears, pains, and anxieties deep within their heart and materialize them, thereby forming a deterrent strike.
This ability is somewhat similar to Sea Illusion Douluo's Mist Domain on Sea God Island.
However, Sea Illusion Douluo's Domain is more overbearing and real.
The Mist Domain can not only uncover and strike at the enemy's most painful experiences, but the illusions within the Domain are also completely real, not just deceptive.
Attacks received within the illusion are completely real, as if a whole new World has been created. Once lost or suffering incurable injuries within the illusion, one will also die in reality, making it extremely overbearing.
Dream Illusion can currently only serve to confuse, but Shi Quan believes that as his strength grows, the ability of Dream Illusion may one day reach an effect similar to the Mist Domain.
Overall, the abilities of both Martial Spirit Abilities were ridiculously strong. Based on Shi Quan's perception, the specific power of the two Martial Spirit Abilities should be comparable to thousand-year Martial Spirit Abilities.
After sensing the Martial Spirit Abilities, Shi Quan also examined the situation within his body.
To Shi Quan's surprise, his spirit power Rank had not changed at all; it was still Rank twenty-one.
Xiao Meng explained that because her power was purely Soul power, it could not help Shi Quan increase his Internal Energy, only his mental force.
But that was also good, saving Shi Quan some trouble. After all, if his spirit power suddenly soared by several Ranks, he would have a hard time explaining it.
Internal Energy surged, flowing into the spirit rings.
An invisible ripple immediately permeated Shi Quan's body. He reached out and gripped, "Dream Ripple is not a tangible existence; ordinary people cannot see it, and its consumption is within an acceptable range. I just don't know what the effect will be."
He looked around, the ripple dissipated, and the second spirit ring beneath him lit up.
Everything around the room began to change. Towering trees stood tall, as if he had returned to the Elementary Soul Hunting Forest.
"It certainly looks real, but unfortunately, it only has visual effects right now; there's no auditory or tactile sensation." Shi Quan raised his hand and touched the giant tree in front of him, his hand passing directly into the tree.
"But illusions aren't used this way, are they?" A mischievous smile appeared on Shi Quan's lips.
After randomly forming hand seals with a series of quick movements, he struck Naruto's classic pose, then let out a low shout, "Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
The room instantly returned to normal, and more than ten figures identical to Shi Quan appeared in the room, performing the exact same actions as Shi Quan.
The small room instantly became extremely crowded.
"Hehehe." A mischievous smile suddenly appeared on Shi Quan's lips. He randomly formed hand seals again with a series of quick movements, then let out another low shout, "Behold my strongest control ninjutsu, Harem Jutsu!"
Immediately, a group of naked beauties appeared faintly amidst swirling smoke.
"A Quan, you're so naughty." Xiao Meng's voice, tinged with shyness, rang out.
"Cough, cough, cough." Shi Quan coughed lightly, realizing Xiao Meng could also see it, and quickly dispelled it.
However, he had to admit, what you think in your head and what you actually see feel completely different.
His chuunibyou Spirit had burned out, and Shi Quan had sobered up.
The consumption of Dream Illusion is directly related to the size of the illusion. The larger the range, the more complex and detailed the content, the higher the spirit power consumption. The more singular and simple the illusion content, the relatively lower the spirit power consumption.
The abilities of the two Martial Spirit Abilities were almost fully experienced. Next were Xiao Meng's innate abilities.
Since it was daytime, dreaming during the day was out of the question. The ability to enter dreams would have to wait until night to be tested.
What Shi Quan was most looking forward to was the effect of Spirit Sense.
Shi Quan closed his eyes slightly, Internal Energy flowed into his Dantian, and mental force and Internal Energy were activated together. The next second, everything around him appeared directly in his mind. Shi Quan didn't even need to look; everything in the room was presented three-dimensionally in his mind.
He didn't even need to think specifically; his mind could automatically display the distance between Shi Quan and the bookshelf, every subtle movement and change of the breeze rustling the curtains. These minute details could all automatically appear.
The scene outside the dormitory was also like this.
"How magical!" Shi Quan exclaimed inwardly. This was the effect of Spirit Sense. Its detection and reconnaissance capabilities were truly strong, almost a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree view without blind spots, and it even came with a certain analytical ability, more detailed and comprehensive than observation with the eyes.
"With this ability, am I still afraid of someone peeking nearby?" Shi Quan secretly rejoiced.
After checking these abilities, only one remained: the mental Legacy brought by Xiao Meng.
He checked the time; it was still early.
Leaving the dormitory, Shi Quan quickly ran towards the back mountain.
Along the way, his Spirit Sense spread out. Everything in all directions was so clear in Shi Quan's mind. With his mental force, he could already cover a fifty-meter radius centered on him.
With the help of his Spirit Sense, Shi Quan finally discovered the person secretly observing him. That person was not a student of the academy, but a teacher of the academy.
"It's actually a teacher. I thought it was a student."
Shi Quan sighed inwardly. That teacher had been teaching at the academy for many years, and he didn't know when Spirit Hall had recruited him.
If he wanted to watch, let him watch. Shi Quan couldn't be bothered.
Back mountain forest.
Shi Quan sat cross-legged and began to Cultivate.
Xiao Meng said that the mental Legacy would reveal its wondrous use during Cultivation.
Inhaling deeply, exhaling softly, everything around him seemed to become empty, yet not empty.
Unlike previous Cultivation, air with the fragrance of plants flowed in through his nostrils, his skin felt the surrounding temperature, and the sounds of insects and birds entered through his ears. Everything around him became clear.
"Is this the ability to perceive nature?" Just as Shi Quan was wondering, that special feeling from his dream realm struck again. Everything around him became so intimate.
The World perceived in his mind also changed at this moment; it was a World of vibrant colors.
"A Quan, you can summon your Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit." Xiao Meng's voice rang out at the opportune moment.
Although puzzled, Shi Quan subconsciously raised his right hand. Deep blue light surged in his palm, and the Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit appeared in his hand.
"This is!"
Shi Quan's whole body trembled. Suddenly, he found that everything around him seemed to have changed. At this moment, he felt as if he had become the Blue Silver Grass again. The previously blurry outlines of everything around him became clear in an instant.
Innumerable special energies surged from all directions. The energy flowed into the Blue Silver Grass and then into Shi Quan's body, converging in his Dantian. After circulating once within Shi Quan's body, it slowly flowed out. It was this simple process that allowed Shi Quan to clearly see everything around him.
Water droplets on the grass, insects, birds – everything was composed of countless special points of light; that was the energy of nature.
This feeling was very strange. To deepen this feeling, Shi Quan directly entered a state of Spirit Understanding.
As his perception of the spiritual World became clearer, Shi Quan was surprised to find that the energy from all directions was not only the energy of heaven and earth, but also came from the grass, trees, earth, and everything around him.
Everything around him felt so intimate, as if Shi Quan was the kin of all things. This intimacy made everything around him seem to become Shi Quan's eyes, ears, and nose, transmitting everything around him into Shi Quan's mind. At this moment, Shi Quan seemed to have become the center of the entire back mountain. His perception gradually spread, and unknowingly, he had already encompassed the entire back mountain…
This profound feeling was indescribably moving.
Shi Quan only felt that his Qi had merged with everything around him. At this moment, Shi Quan seemed to have blended into this forest. His original human aura had disappeared. Now, he was like the Blue Silver Grass beneath him, like the big trees beside him, and also like a small pebble nearby.
