Evening.
In the broken wooden house where Tang San lived, a drunken Tang Hao was leaning against the bedside that looked like a chicken nest.
His originally cloudy eyes instantly flashed with a hint of sharpness upon hearing "Innate Full Spirit Power" and "Clear Sky Hammer."
His attention was completely focused on Tang San's twin spirits.
He completely threw the matter of Fu Qin, the "other Innate Full Spirit Power" mentioned by Tang San, to the back of his mind.
Late at night.
Fu Qin lay on his small bed, constantly sensing his own Spirit.
As a transmigrator, he knew the importance of Spirits better than anyone.
This was the foundation of the Douluo Continent and the key to determining future achievements.
He concentrated his mind to sense his Spirit.
"Buzz—"
Deep within the Sea of Consciousness.
Besides the floating Alchemy Gloves, another projection of light and shadow floated quietly.
It was also a pair of gloves, the material seemed like jade but wasn't jade, with complex cloud patterns carved on the surface, the whole thing emitting an unspeakable mysterious aura.
"Godhead Mask..." A surge of heat rose in Fu Qin's heart!
He cautiously extended his mental force to touch that mask.
However, as soon as his fingertips touched it, it was like a stone sinking into the sea; no spirit power fluctuations returned, no special abilities awakened, and he couldn't even feel a trace of spirit power flow, just like a pair of ordinary gloves without any spirituality.
"Hmm?"
Fu Qin frowned slightly and tried several times, but the result remained the same.
It seemed completely isolated from his spirit power and mental force; no matter how he tried to activate it, it didn't budge.
But for some reason, when he gazed at the patterns on it, fragments of unfamiliar memories inexplicably surfaced in his mind.
Most of them were cultivation methods related to "God-Acting," "Power Of Faith," and "Idealistic Divine Abilities."
There were also a small number of other trivial but not weak martial arts moves.
Sensing these martial arts memories,
Fu Qin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he reacted instantly.
"Damn! Isn't this the memory of Wang Zhenqiu, the Southwest Tumor from under one person?!"
He remembered; when he went to the anime convention, he had painted his face to cosplay Wang Zhenqiu.
As a transmigrator, he was naturally familiar with the plot of "under one person." The Godhead Mask's heaven-defying ability to "act as a god oneself and use the Power Of Faith from all living beings to transform into a god" could be called the peak divine ability of the idealistic system.
But why did it become a dead object with no reaction in his hands?
"No power fluctuations doesn't mean no potential."
Fu Qin quickly calmed down, his gaze becoming sharp.
"A top-tier cross-world ability like the Godhead Mask might need special conditions to be activated; it's very likely my chance to become a god!"
Suppressing his expectations for the Godhead Mask, he turned his attention back to his first Spirit.
Alchemy Gloves.
When he awakened during the day, he only felt that this pair of gloves seemed to allow him to vaguely sense the structure of surrounding matter.
With a thought, the gloves instantly attached to his palms.
Fu Qin channeled spirit power into them, and the mini Transmutation Circle in his palm instantly lit up with golden light.
His gaze fell on the iron railing at the head of the bed. With a thought, the runes on the gloves flowed, and an invisible force enveloped the railing.
The next second, the hard iron railing gradually softened and deformed.
Under his spirit power control, it slowly twisted into a long, thin iron needle with an incredibly sharp tip.
Seeing this, Fu Qin's heart shook. Then, he tried to extend his mental force.
Several fine threads of spirit power shot from his fingertips, precisely wrapping around the iron needle. With a gentle flick, the iron needle shot out like a bullet.
"Puff."
It instantly nailed into the wooden wall opposite, sinking half an inch deep.
However, after using this move, Fu Qin's forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat.
"Not only can it shape matter, but it can also manipulate objects?"
Although this move drained ninety percent of the spirit power in his body, a look of surprise still flashed in his eyes.
Because this ability was extremely similar to the "Divine Art of the Hundred Refinements" from the Eight Supreme Arts in "under one person" in his memory!
The Divine Art of the Hundred Refinements can refine objects at high speed, create equipment in batches, and manipulate objects from a distance; one person can build an army of magical artifacts.
But what he felt at this moment was far more than just these.
His current strength was too weak to fully exert the true power of the Alchemy Gloves.
...
Time passed quickly.
The news that Saint Spirit Village had produced two people with Innate Full Spirit Power spread through the surrounding villages as if it had wings.
Old Jack was even busier, receiving neighboring village chiefs who came to congratulate him every day, the smile on his face never fading.
Fu Qin and Tang San became little stars in the village, being pursued wherever they went.
But Fu Qin still kept a low profile. Every day, besides practicing the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record," he "played" with Tang San.
Occasionally, he would "accidentally" show some insignificant talent, making Tang San more determined in his idea to "take him in as a younger brother."

Thoughts: Head to Nuoding Academy in two months. Test Fu Qin on the way; if reliable, try to take him under his wing.]
Fu Qin looked at the information on the panel, knowing Tang San had already started preparing to take him as a younger brother.
But he didn't care. Anyway, with the Intelligence Reduction Halo and the Fates Origin and End buff, Tang San would never discover his true strength.
In these two months, Old Jack ran his legs off for the two children's work-study student slots.
He managed to get the slot Nuoding Academy originally gave to the neighboring village through persistent persuasion and even secured some extra subsidies, enough for the children's early life at the academy.
The day before departure, Old Jack prepared brand-new clothes and dry food for the road for the two children, giving them repeated instructions.
"When you get to the academy, practice hard, don't cause trouble, and look after each other..."
Fu Qin nodded obediently.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Jack. Little San and I will look after each other."
Tang San also said,
"Don't worry, Village Chief. I will take good care of Fu Qin."
[Old Jack Favorability +2 (97), Tang San Favorability +1 (81)]
Early the next morning, just as the sky was turning light, Old Jack set off with Fu Qin and Tang San.
It was dozens of miles from Saint Spirit Village to Nuoding City, requiring a full day's walk to arrive.
On the way, Old Jack walked in front, while Tang San and Fu Qin followed behind.
Tang San intentionally or unintentionally slowed his pace to walk side-by-side with Fu Qin.
"Fu Qin, does your glove Spirit have any special effects?"
Tang San asked seemingly casually.
Fu Qin had long expected him to ask and immediately put on a confused expression.
"Special effects? It's just a pair of ordinary gloves. Grandmaster Su Yuntao said it's a Trash Spirit, but I feel like my strength has increased a bit after wearing the gloves."
