Consciousness returned, and Ning Chuan abruptly opened his eyes.
It was still that simple wooden hut, the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window casting a warm golden hue over the room.
The sensations of his body instantly returned, and the hunger in his stomach surged once more, stronger than before.
But at this moment, he paid no attention to any of that.
With a slight stir of his thoughts, the twenty-five levels of Spirit Power within him surged and flowed, a sense of unprecedented fullness and strength spreading through his limbs and bones.
“Azure Jade Willow Leaf Grass, appear!”
Ning Chuan shouted softly, raising his right hand.
“Hum!”
A Martial Soul entirely different from before quietly materialized.
It was still about half a foot tall, its entire body a translucent jade green, but the golden specks of light flowing within its leaf veins were clearer and brighter, and the sharp, sword-like gleam along the edges of the leaves was even more pronounced.
Most peculiarly, the vibrant vitality emanating from the entire plant seemed to be mixed with a warm, pure aura.
However, this was not all!
Just as the Azure Jade Willow Leaf Grass appeared, beneath Ning Chuan’s feet, two distinct yet equally dazzling Spirit Rings suddenly rose, encircling his body!
The first Spirit Ring, close to his ankles, displayed a vibrant, life-filled emerald green.
Its light was soft and gentle, like the tender sprouts of early spring, radiating a refreshing, vigorous vitality.
Above the Spirit Ring, a faint, slender, and elegant tree-like silhouette with unfurling leaves could be seen slowly swirling.
That was the mark of the Tree of Life Elf!
The second Spirit Ring, floating above the first, was a pure and warm milky white.
Its light was not blinding, yet it carried a majestic sense of purifying all things and dispelling darkness, like the dawn at daybreak.
Above this Spirit Ring, a small, delicate elf with glowing wings flickered in and out of sight, scattering specks of luminous dust.
That was the mark of the Light Elf!
One green, one white.
Two thousand-year-level Spirit Rings!
The energy fluctuations brought by the appearance of the Spirit Rings caused the air around Ning Chuan to ripple slightly, making the flame of the oil lamp on the table flicker.
“I succeeded… I really succeeded…” Ning Chuan gazed at the two dream-like Spirit Rings on his body, feeling the immense power contained within them, and was so excited he could hardly contain himself. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping(.)com.
Overnight, from having no rings to possessing two!
From zero Spirit Power to a twenty-five-level Grand Spirit Master!
This was nothing short of a miracle!
After the excitement subsided, Ning Chuan quickly calmed down.
Spirit Rings were merely the surface; Soul Skills were the foundation.
What abilities would these two thousand-year Spirit Rings, fused in the form of Spirit Souls from parallel worlds, grant him?
Holding his breath and focusing, he immersed his consciousness into his Martial Soul, carefully sensing the two Spirit Souls closely linked to his own soul.
First, the first Spirit Ring from the Tree of Life Elf.
The moment his thoughts touched it, a vast and gentle flow of life energy naturally circulated, and information about the Soul Skill clearly emerged:
“First Soul Skill: Endless Vitality.
Attributes: Life, Recovery, Enhancement.”
“Effect One: Healing Light.
Releases emerald green light imbued with life energy, capable of rapidly healing injuries of oneself or allied units, restoring stamina, and dispelling low-level negative statuses (such as poisoning, weakness, etc.).
The healing effect is proportional to the amount of Spirit Power infused.”
“Effect Two: Flora Affinity.
Passively enhances communication and control abilities with plants, allowing for some perception of plant emotions, guidance of plant growth, and slight enhancement of Soul Skill effects activated by plant-type Martial Souls.”
“Effect Three: Life’s Endowment (requires active activation).
Can consume a large amount of Spirit Power to inject life energy into a designated plant (including one’s own Martial Soul), causing it to undergo beneficial mutation, rapid growth, or temporarily granting it special abilities.”
“What a powerful support Soul Skill!” Ning Chuan thought with delight.
This ‘Endless Vitality’ seemed tailor-made for him!
Not only did it possess formidable healing capabilities, but it also included ‘Flora Affinity’ and ‘Life’s Endowment’—effects that could greatly unleash the potential of his Azure Jade Willow Leaf Grass Martial Soul!
This was far from simple recovery; it held immense potential for control and enhancement!
Next, Ning Chuan shifted his focus to the second Spirit Ring, the power derived from the Light Elf.
“Second Soul Skill: Holy Radiance Judgment.”
“Attributes: Light, Purification, Attack.”
“Effect One: Radiant Impact.
Releases a condensed beam of pure white light or a fan-shaped wave of purifying radiance, dealing light-attribute impact damage to enemies.
It has strong suppression and additional purification effects against dark, evil, undead, and tainted targets.”
“Effect Two: Light’s Protection.
Activates the power of light to form a temporary shield of radiance around oneself or an ally, capable of blocking a certain degree of physical and energy attacks.
It also inflicts continuous burning damage to evil-attribute enemies that come into close proximity.”
“Effect Three: Devout Beacon (requires active activation).
Releases a persistent beacon of light that continuously emits a gentle glow, widely dispelling darkness, fog, and low-level illusions.
It also provides a slight stamina recovery and evil-deterrence effect to allies within its range.”
Strong offense!
Support!
Area control!
This ‘Holy Radiance Judgment’ was also incredibly comprehensive!
Not only did it possess powerful single-target and small-area attack capabilities, but it also combined defense with rare area-support effects!
Especially its suppression of evil and dark creatures—it could be called a divine skill!
Ning Chuan was so excited he nearly trembled.
Both Soul Skills, and not a single useless ability!
Moreover, they complemented each other perfectly: one focused on life, recovery, and growth; the other on light, purification, and judgment.
Together, they covered support, healing, defense, strong offense, purification, and area control—multiple aspects flawlessly!
This configuration was simply luxurious to the extreme!
Forget Holy Soul Village—even in the entire Nuoding City, or even larger regions, this would undoubtedly be a top-tier genius configuration!
“I must test their effects!” Ning Chuan felt an irresistible itch, eager to find a place to try out his Soul Skills immediately.
He glanced out the window—the setting sun was about to sink completely below the horizon.
