Chapter 62

After succeeding, Ye Feng slowly stopped the process. He understood in his heart that he couldn't be hasty. Although he had the power of life, he still couldn't rush things. Haste makes waste, and only by laying a solid foundation could he go further. Moreover, for a Fifth Rank Warrior, the spiritual energy required to break through even a small realm was the total of what was needed for previous breakthroughs, so this wasn't something that could be resolved in a day or two.

Furthermore, who knew if rushing to break through would leave any future problems, given his limited understanding of the power of life.

Moreover, after breaking through, his spiritual energy surged. Only after fully controlling it could he dare to continue breaking through. If he couldn't control it, it would be like a child wielding a large hammer, not only failing to hurt others but possibly hurting himself.

"Haha, good, good!"

Seeing Ye Feng open his eyes, Ye Chenshan could no longer contain his joy and burst out laughing.

When Ye Feng broke through, his aura burst out, and Ye Chenshan naturally saw his rank—Fifth Rank Warrior. This was something he had never expected.

He originally thought his younger son was a genius, but he never expected the elder son to be the one. Such cultivation had already caught up with some ordinary geniuses in the Central Empire, which was something he had never expected. One could say that his elder son had given him too many pleasant surprises.

Because he believed that even the top geniuses of the empire couldn't reach Ye Feng's level in an environment like Qing Shuang City.

"Father, here are the remaining spirit stones!" At this moment, Ye Feng stood up, his aura returning to calmness. He then handed the remaining spirit stones to Ye Chenshan.

This spirit stone, apart from being a bit duller, still contained a lot of spiritual energy. Ye Feng hadn't expected that such a small piece of spirit stone could contain so much spiritual energy. Although the gap between Fourth Rank Peak and Fifth Rank was only a step away, the required spiritual energy was enormous. Without accumulation, it was hard to break through. Now, Ye Feng had broken through with just one stone, which couldn't help but make him marvel.

Ye Chenshan looked at the dull spirit stone, and the corners of his mouth twitched. In the realm of warriors, one spirit stone was enough for him to break through two ranks. But now, Ye Feng? Breaking through one rank had used up more than half of the spiritual energy? The amount of spiritual energy consumed was more than what was needed to break through from Fifth Rank to Sixth Rank.

"Feng'er, keep the spirit stones! You might need them someday!" Hearing his son's words, Ye Chenshan said.

Spirit stones were very precious. Over the years, he had only managed to get two, and a few more were left by his father. Not only here, but spirit stones were also high-end resources across the entire continent.

"By the way, Feng'er, are you a Spirit User?"

A moment later, Ye Chenshan thought of what had just happened and asked with a hint of surprise on his face.

Spirit Users! Throughout the history of the continent, the vast majority of great powers were Spirit Users. One could say that Spirit Users had a natural advantage, though the specifics of this advantage were beyond their comprehension.

"Spirit User? Father, what is a Spirit User?"

Ye Feng was taken aback. This was the first time he had heard the term "Spirit User," and he had never seen any introduction to Spirit Users in the Tianbao Pavilion's library.

"You don't know?" Hearing that Ye Feng didn't know about Spirit Users, Ye Chenshan was momentarily stunned. But thinking about the backwardness of Qing Shuang City, he understood and began to explain his understanding of Spirit Users to Ye Feng.

" Spirit Users are another category of cultivators. They are born with a mysterious force stored in their minds. However, because this mysterious force is too powerful, their minds can't bear it, so it remains sealed from birth. Only under certain circumstances can it be awakened. If the awakening is successful, they become a Spirit User; if not, they die. Some people never awaken it in their entire lives."

"Generally, after a Spirit User awakens, their mysterious force exists in a mist-like form. It's said that some Spirit Users have their mental energy in a liquid form. In short, the more mysterious force they have in their minds, the higher their talent!"

"The powerful mysterious force of Spirit Users can control any inanimate object to launch an attack, such as knives and swords. Moreover, their powerful mysterious force can communicate with the spiritual energy in the air, enhancing weapons to launch powerful attacks..."

"Therefore, based on the attributes of the mysterious force, Spirit Users are divided into Metal Spirit Users, Water Spirit Users, Earth Spirit Users, Fire Spirit Users, and Wood Spirit Users!"

After finishing his explanation, Ye Chenshan asked Ye Feng, "Feng'er, what attribute is the mysterious force in your mind?"

Hearing this, Ye Feng's face showed a hint of confusion. What Ye Chenshan said about the mysterious force in the mind was correct, but his wasn't a gas or a liquid; it was a large solid sphere. Moreover, his mysterious force wasn't any of the types Ye Chenshan mentioned.

In fact, when he saw the light ball in his mind, Ye Feng had already been puzzled. Did he bring it to this world, or was it already in this Ye Feng's mind?

Deep down, Ye Feng had a vague feeling that his arrival in this world might be related to the power of life.

"Father, I don't know what attribute it is!"

Although Ye Feng didn't know how his father knew, since Spirit Users existed, he didn't need to keep it a secret.

"Uh... Try to use the force in your mind to control this golden needle!" Hearing this, Ye Chenshan was momentarily stunned, then he fell into thought and pointed to a golden needle on the plate.

Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but focus his mind and mobilize the power of life in his mind.

Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on Ye Feng's face. The power of life, under the mobilization of his mental energy, indeed extended outward.

However, what made Ye Feng helpless was that when the power of life reached the golden needle, it passed through it as if the needle didn't exist, let alone controlling it. This was completely different from what Ye Chenshan had described.

Ye Chenshan had said that the mysterious force could control inanimate objects, but not living ones. But now, the golden needle showed no reaction at all.

"Can't you do it?" Ye Chenshan, seeing no reaction from the golden needle after a long wait, couldn't help but frown and ask.

Ye Feng could only shake his head helplessly in response.

"It's fine, maybe it's because you just awakened. With time, you might be able to control it!" Seeing Ye Feng shake his head helplessly, Ye Chenshan quickly smiled and comforted him.

"Wasn't Feng'er's awakening just now a Spirit User's awakening? It shouldn't be like this!" Although he was smiling, he muttered to himself.

In fact, Ye Chenshan knew something about the awakening of Spirit Users because the first ancestor of the Ye family was a Spirit User, and several ancestors of the Ye family had also been Spirit Users. Later, it was summarized that families with Spirit Users had a much higher chance of producing another Spirit User in their descendants. Therefore, Ye family children were taught about Spirit Users from a young age.

The fear was that if a Spirit User appeared in the family, and there was no guidance during the awakening, something might go wrong. After all, before awakening, Spirit Users were no different from ordinary people.

Although Ye Chenshan didn't say it, he was somewhat disappointed. He had thought that a Spirit User might appear in his lineage, especially since the Ye family hadn't had a Spirit User for five generations. But he didn't expect that Ye Feng wasn't one. According to family records, even the least talented Spirit User could control a needle after awakening.

Of course, he wouldn't say this, fearing it might discourage Ye Feng, who had already done well.

Moreover, what was there for Ye Chenshan to be dissatisfied with? He had thought his injury was hopeless, but his son had cured it. Although he was puzzled by his son's healing method, he understood that a high-level medicinal sect might be behind Ye Feng, as the techniques of a high-level medicinal sect were beyond his comprehension.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Ye Feng was stunned, a look of confusion flashing across his face. When he controlled the power of life, it suddenly passed through his finger and was absorbed by it.

After a moment of shock, Ye Feng controlled the power of life to approach Ye Chenshan. When the power of life touched Ye Chenshan, it was instantly absorbed by his body. Ye Chenshan also seemed to feel a change in his body, so he frowned and looked around in confusion. Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly moved the power of life away.

This made Ye Feng even more puzzled. Ye Chenshan had said that the mysterious force of Spirit Users had no effect on living things and could only affect inanimate objects. But for Ye Feng, it was the opposite. The power of life had no effect on inanimate objects but worked on living things.

Unable to understand this, Ye Feng stopped thinking about it. However, he was relieved to know that there were people in this world with mysterious forces in their minds, at least he wasn't an anomaly.
