Please collect, please give recommendations. Cough, I didn't mean to stop here, it just happened to be the right part of the story. Guess what Wu Lin's soul spirit will be? If the member clicks and recommendation chart reach the top, there will be an extra update.
--------------------------------------------
After a while, the data paused and no longer continued to rise, only fluctuating within a certain range.
Turning off the device, the helmet lifted.
"Alright."
Tang Wulin indeed felt a bit dizzy. Just now, he only felt a slight tingling sensation in his brain. Vaguely, he seemed to see the golden world he had seen when he first fused with his soul spirit, still very blurry. Before he could try to see it clearly, the test was already over.
"Very good data," the Soul Forger smiled and nodded at him. "You are the best soul spirit in terms of mental power that I have tested in the past year. Your mental power value is thirty-eight. Remember this data, I will issue a test report for you, which you can directly submit when you enter the Intermediate Soul Master Academy."
Since he was completely clueless about the mental power system, Tang Wulin wasn't quite sure what thirty-eight meant.
Seeing his puzzled look, the Soul Forger kindly explained, "The mental power of the Spirit Origin Realm ranges from one to one hundred. Below thirty is the initial stage, thirty to sixty is the intermediate stage, sixty to ninety is the advanced stage, and ninety to one hundred is the peak of the Spirit Origin Realm. At your young age, your mental power has already reached the intermediate stage of the Spirit Origin Realm, which is quite impressive. I am already a twenty-eighth-level Great Soul Master, and my mental power value is only eighty-seven, reaching the intermediate stage of the Spirit Origin Realm. You can easily fuse with a hundred-year-old yellow soul spirit."
Finally, there was some good news, and Tang Wulin's originally low mood improved a bit. Moreover, the Soul Forger's introduction to the mental power levels also gave him a glimpse of the magnificent world of soul masters.
"Next, it's all up to your luck." After leaving the mental power testing room, he directly led Tang Wulin to an adjacent room.
This room was much larger, with a huge device inside, standing three meters tall and six meters wide. Inside the device, there were many spherical objects about one foot in diameter, each emitting a faint glow. They all looked identical.
The Soul Forger pointed to two buttons in front of the device and said, "The green button starts, the red button stops. After stopping, the soul spirit ball you randomly select will roll out. You can start when you're ready."
Looking at the unfamiliar and novel machine, Tang Wulin's heart rate couldn't help but speed up. His homeroom teacher, Lin Ximeng, had once mentioned that the quality of a soul spirit would largely determine the strength of a soul master. A powerful soul spirit could even help a soul master enhance their soul power level after fusion. However, if the soul spirit was too weak, the soul skills it provided would also be weak. A soul master could have a maximum of nine soul skills in their lifetime, but reaching the nine-ringed stage was extremely rare. Therefore, for low-level soul masters, each soul skill was extremely important.
What was coming, had to come.
Tang Wulin gritted his teeth and pressed the green button.
Instantly, a series of lights lit up inside the machine, casting a faint glow on each soul spirit ball.
There were at least a hundred soul spirit balls inside the machine, slowly orbiting along a track. The speed was incredibly fast, giving a dizzying feeling.
The exterior of the soul spirit balls completely isolated the internal soul spirits, and there was no way to see anything with the naked eye. Everything was left to fate.
Tang Wulin's hand rested on the red button. His hand, which was usually very steady even when holding an eighty-pound thousand-forged tungsten steel hammer, was now slightly trembling. He knew that this one press could very well determine his fate as a soul master.
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes tightly and finally pressed the red button with his right hand.
"Bang—" the rotation stopped, and a white soul spirit ball fell from the machine's exit, rolling into a metal box beside Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin instinctively opened his eyes and turned his head, his heart pounding like a drum.
The Soul Forger walked over, took out the soul spirit ball, and handed it to him.
"Let's go, go outside to see."
Holding the soul spirit ball tightly in his arms, Tang Wulin took a few deep breaths, looking at it as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.
Finally, he had it. This would be his first soul spirit!
With such a tense mood, he returned to his father. The Soul Forger brought an oval-shaped device and handed it to Tang Wulin.
"Press this button and shine the light from the device on this soul spirit ball, and your soul spirit will hatch. The right to release the soul spirit belongs to you."
Not only was Tang Wulin nervous, but even Tang Ziran couldn't help but clench his fists. What would it be?
Tang Wulin looked at his father, and Tang Ziran nodded encouragingly.
Pressing the button, a soft yellow light fell on the soul spirit ball. The soul spirit ball itself also emitted a faint glow, and the originally sealed ball gradually became transparent, allowing a vague glimpse of what was inside.
Tang Wulin clearly felt a faint life force emanating from the soul spirit ball, and the soul spirit was moving slightly.
What could it be?
At this moment, the light emitted by the soul spirit ball turned white, and a brighter light flashed in the center of the ball. The entire soul spirit ball slowly opened from the center.
Seeing the white light, the Soul Forger said from the side, "A ten-year soul spirit."
Tang Ziran's eyes dimmed; the heavens had not favored his son. A hundred-year-old soul spirit, priced at a million, was indeed not so easy to draw.
Tang Wulin stared intently at the gradually opening soul spirit ball. A ten-year soul spirit, his first soul spirit, what could it be?
The white light began to converge, and the soul spirit ball fully opened, revealing the soul spirit inside.
At the first glance, the Soul Forger's expression changed slightly, and both Tang Ziran and Tang Wulin were stunned.
This soul spirit was actually...
