[I told Teacher Jing Hongchen about the effect of my second Spirit Ability, and he was very excited, considering it a divine technique.] Dean’s Office.
Jing Hongchen was stunned after hearing Sun Moon Lin Qing’s description.
He sat in his chair, his fingers tapping the desk unconsciously.
One, two, three.
He was silent for a full half-minute.
He slowly raised his head to look at Sun Moon Lin Qing, his expression indescribably complex.
“Your second Spirit Ability can replicate three Spirit abilities, fuse them into a new one, and permanently solidify it!” Jing Hongchen took a deep breath, feeling it was incredible.
[After returning to the Sun Moon Royal Academy, Teacher Jing Hongchen asked me about my choices and thoughts regarding the Spirit abilities I wanted to replicate.] The scene shifted.
In the cultivation room, the master and disciple sat facing each other.
“Lin Qing, what kind of three Spirit abilities do you plan to replicate for your second Spirit Ability?” Jing Hongchen looked at Sun Moon Lin Qing seriously.
“This is very important; once the Fusion is solidified, it cannot be changed.” “Teacher, I want to replicate…
Senior Xiao Hongchen’s first three Spirit abilities.” [The Spirit abilities I chose to replicate and fuse were Xiao Hongchen’s Metal Control, Golden Boiling, and Golden Solidification.] [In fact, the best choice would have been Huo Yuhao’s two divine techniques, Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing, but I have little chance of meeting Huo Yuhao right now, and I need time to grow; I can’t waste this period.] Jing Hongchen was stunned.
“Xiao?” Xiao Hongchen was his grandson, the leader of the younger generation at the Sun Moon Royal Academy and the core of the Golden Generation.
Jing Hongchen hadn’t expected this little fellow to set his sights on his grandson’s Spirit abilities, and since he spoke so quickly, he had clearly thought it through long ago.
“Are you sure?” “I’m sure.” Sun Moon Lin Qing nodded.
“Senior Xiao Hongchen’s three Spirit abilities are a perfect combination: Metal Control, Golden Boiling, and Golden Solidification.
If they are fused together…” His eyes grew brighter as he spoke.
“That would be a perfect Spirit Ability, exclusive to a Soul Engineer!” Jing Hongchen stared at Sun Moon Lin Qing for a few seconds.
He suddenly burst into laughter.
“Good!
Great eye!
You really are a Genius, kid!” He patted Sun Moon Lin Qing’s shoulder hard.
“Xiao’s three Spirit abilities are indeed the best combination.
I’ll call him over right now!” The Lin Qing in reality was somewhat surprised to see this.
“Replicating Xiao Hongchen’s Spirit abilities?” He recalled information from the original work.
Xiao Hongchen’s Spirit is the Three-Legged Golden Toad, a top-tier Beast Spirit.
His Spirit abilities were also specifically designed for spirit tools.
First Spirit Ability: Metal Control.
Ability: Enhances control over metal, increases the quantity controlled, and improves metal affinity.
Simply put, it allows a Soul Engineer to manipulate metal Materials.
Second Spirit Ability: Golden Boiling.
Ability: Puts one’s Soul Power into a Boiling State, significantly increasing the power of Spirit abilities and speeding up casting.
It also enhances Metal Control and allows for the absorption of metal elements from the air, reducing Soul Power consumption when using spirit tools!
For a Soul Engineer, this is practically a divine technique.
Third Spirit Ability: Golden Solidification.
Ability: Temporarily condenses controlled metal elements into solid metal.
It can even use Mental Energy to carve Spirit cores and create temporary spirit tools!
“These three Spirit abilities are indeed a perfect match!” The more Lin Qing thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
Metal Control is the foundation.
Golden Boiling is the burst.
Golden Solidification is the creation.
If the three Spirit abilities were perfectly fused, combined with powerful Mental Energy and spirit tool manufacturing techniques, the results would be unimaginable!
Soon, Xiao Hongchen was called over by Jing Hongchen.
[This proud Genius, when he heard someone wanted to replicate his Spirit abilities, was initially a bit unhappy.
But after Jing Hongchen explained clearly, he became exceptionally curious, especially shocked by my two limit-breaking purple spirit rings.] “Spiritual Replication and Fusion, can it really fuse my three Spirit abilities into one?” Xiao Hongchen stared at Lin Qing, his eyes full of curiosity.
“Yes.” Sun Moon Lin Qing nodded.
“Alright, so what should I do?” “I need you to release the three Spirit abilities, Senior; I will replicate them in an instant.” Xiao Hongchen looked at Jing Hongchen.
“Xiao, cooperate with him.” “I understand, Grandfather.” Xiao Hongchen obediently walked to the center of the laboratory.
“Watch closely.” He reminded.
Spirit release!
The phantom of a Three-Legged Golden Toad emerged behind him.
Yellow, yellow, purple—the standard optimal ratio for three rings.
“First Spirit Ability: Metal Control!” The metal parts in the laboratory instantly levitated, as if controlled by countless invisible hands.
“Second Spirit Ability: Golden Boiling!” Xiao Hongchen’s Soul Power fluctuations suddenly intensified, and a faint golden halo appeared around him.
The manipulation of the metal parts became more precise and faster.
“Third Spirit Ability: Golden Solidification!” Metal elements in the air began to gather, gradually condensing into a metal spear under the control of Xiao Hongchen’s Mental Energy.
Though crude, it was indeed creation out of thin air!
“Now!” The Heavenly Eye on Sun Moon Lin Qing’s forehead opened!
Second Spirit Ability: Spiritual Replication and Fusion!
“Buzz!” A beam of silver light swept over Xiao Hongchen, and the data of the three Spirit abilities was instantly replicated into his mind.
Next came the Fusion, reorganization, and optimization of the Spirit abilities!
This process seemed like an instant to outsiders, but in Lin Qing’s perception, it felt as if a long time had passed.
Every detail of the Spirit abilities was clearly presented before his eyes, and every change was precisely calculated in his mind.
Finally.
“It’s done.” Sun Moon Lin Qing spoke softly.
The silver light of the Heavenly Eye on his forehead gradually faded.
[I successfully replicated Xiao Hongchen’s first three Spirit abilities.
After Fusion, I gained a second ‘second Spirit Ability’—Metal Manipulation!] In the scene, Sun Moon Lin Qing released the new Spirit Ability.
All the metal parts in the laboratory flew over, levitating and rotating above his palm, as easy to move as his own fingers.
“This Spirit Ability has two states: Normal State and Boiling State.” “Normal State effects: Enhances Metal Control, increases control quantity and compatibility, improves metal affinity, allows for the brief condensation of metal elements into solid form, and can even use Mental Energy to carve Spirit cores to manufacture temporary spirit tools.” In the Boiling State, Lin Qing’s Soul Power fluctuations suddenly soared, and a dazzling golden halo appeared around him.
The levitating metal parts instantly accelerated their rotation, their speed increasing by at least threefold.
“Boiling State: Soul Power boils, power increases, manipulation accelerates, Metal Control is significantly enhanced, and metal elements can be absorbed from the air.” “Most importantly…” Sun Moon Lin Qing paused and walked over to a spirit tool placed by the testing area.
With a casual tap, he injected Soul Power.
The energy consumption display of that spirit tool instantly dropped by thirty percent!
“At this time, I can reduce the Soul Power consumption of spirit tools!” “Perfect!
Simply perfect!” Jing Hongchen couldn’t help but praise it loudly, pacing back and forth in the laboratory excitedly.
“Metal Control and Golden Solidification are the Normal State effects, while Golden Boiling serves as the burst state.
The three Spirit abilities are perfectly fused without any conflict!” “And…” He turned to look at Lin Qing, his eyes burning with intensity.
“The potential of this new Spirit Ability is stronger than the original because it is specifically optimized for you, perfectly matching your Mental Energy characteristics!” Xiao Hongchen was also dazed.
He couldn’t help but mutter, “Why do I feel like you’re even more of a monster than the people from Shrek Academy?” But there was no jealousy in his eyes, only admiration.
After all, he had heard from Jing Hongchen that when Lin Qing faced the choice of his first and second thousand-year Spirit rings, it was like walking through the gates of hell twice.
He certainly didn’t have that kind of courage.
“When you make spirit tools in the future, remember to call me.” “I also want to see how far you can go with this Spirit Ability.” Xiao Hongchen patted Lin Qing’s shoulder.
“Alright.” [I myself am very satisfied with this harvest.] “…” The real Lin Qing was speechless.
Anyone could see the potential of Lin Qing’s various Spirit abilities.
“No wonder Jing Hongchen was so excited…” Lin Qing finally fully understood.
With this kind of talent and Spirit Ability, in the Sun Moon Empire, he could be nurtured as the true Golden Generation among the Golden Generation!
