Bab 10: Chapter 10: Characteristics of the Book Martial Spirit
Su Yuntao was very happy.
"Xiaowen, joining Spirit Hall won't make you lose out."
"It's a pity that you wasted a year waiting for the opportunity to obtain your first Spirit Ring. Otherwise, with your talent, going to Spirit City's Spirit Master Academy for further studies would not be a problem. There, you can enjoy the highest level of cultivation from Spirit Hall. However, even if you can't go to Spirit City for further studies, here in our Branch Spirit Hall, we will try our best to provide you with good conditions."
Su Yuntao regretted not being more firm on the day Su Wen awakened his Martial Spirit and persuade him to join Spirit Hall.
"Although you spent a year looking for a reliable spirit hunting team, the external spirit hunting teams are ultimately unreliable. I also have some understanding of the spirit hunting teams in Nuoding City, and there are basically not many with real skills and knowledge."
"By the way, you haven't paid the deposit, right?"
Su Wen shook his head and said, "No."
The spirit hunting team he mentioned was just an excuse, so there was naturally no deposit.
He didn't expect that Su Yuntao would come up with a reason for him wasting a year of cultivation time by searching for a suitable spirit hunting team.
"Well, for your first Spirit Ring, I will have two other deacons help you obtain it."
Now that they were on the same side, and with Su Wen's talent, joining Spirit Hall came with benefits. The current benefit was helping him hunt a hundred-year Spirit Ring.
This hunting mission also counted as a task from the Branch Spirit Hall, and Su Yuntao and the other two deacons could earn contribution points during the process.
"Do you have any goals?"
Su Yuntao wanted to understand Su Wen's intentions because for the Book Martial Spirit, he didn't know how to match it with Spirit Rings, so he wanted to see what Su Wen had in mind first.
Later, when he goes to find Ma Xiu Nuo, he will inquire again. In Nuoding City's Branch Spirit Hall, obtaining Spirit Rings as a Spirit Master involves seeking Ma Xiu Nuo's wise opinion.
Su Wen described his intentions hesitantly "Somethign that has a lot of Soul Power?"
Listening to Su Wen's vague direction, Su Yuntao couldn't help but feel emotional.
Without a systematic guide, ordinary Spirit Masters could indeed take the wrong path in their cultivation.
Fortunately, they brought this kid into Spirit Hall in time. Otherwise, it would have been challenging for him to find a suitable first Spirit Ring. "Let's go. Test your Soul Power at Grandmaster Ma Xiu Nuo's place, complete the final registration, and you'll be an official member of Spirit Hall." Su Yuntao led Su Wen upstairs and knocked on the door of one of the rooms when they arrived.
"Come in." An elderly voice sounded.
"Grandmaster Ma Xiu Nuo."
"Ah, Yuntao, why are you here?" Inside, an elderly figure seated behind a spacious desk looked up at Su Yuntao and inquired.
Ma Xiu Nuo also noticed Su Wen.
"Grandmaster Ma Xiu Nuo, this is Su Wen. I helped him awaken his Martial Spirit two and a half years ago, and now he has cultivated to level ten, ready to join our Spirit Hall."
"Oh?"
Ma Xiu Nuo's eyes lit up.
'He broke through to level ten in just two and a half years?
With this talent, becoming a Spirit Ancestor was almost a certainty, even if not a Spirit King.'
Although it was a branch of Spirit Hall, Nuoding City's Branch Spirit Hall had many deacons but lacked even a Hall Master.
Spirit Elders didn't bother staying in such small places like Nuoding City; they preferred advancing to the much larger Child Spirit Halls.
Accurately speaking, establishments like their Branch Spirit Hall are more like small bases set up for the awakening of Martial Spirits in ordinary people. When a youngster with the potential to become a Spirit Ancestor joined theirBranch Spirit Hall, Ma Xiu Nuo naturally has expectations.
"Child, your name is Su Wen, right? let's finish your registration" Ma Xiu Nuo waved to Su Wen and asked.
Testing Soul Power, registering information.
After completing all the formalities, Su Yuntao brought Su Wen to the library on the second floor.
"This is the library of the Branch Spirit Hall. Inside, you'll find information related to Martial Spirit cultivation. Although we lack in Spirit Master facilities compared to the advancced Spirit Halls, our data is comprehensive. It's much richer than what Nuoding City Primary Spirit Master Academy teaches."
Su Yuntao pointed to a row of bookshelves, saying, "Over there are materials on common Spirit Beasts. You can take a look when you have time to see if there's a suitable Spirit Beast for you. Unfortunately, even Grandmaster Ma Xiu Nuo doesn't know how to cultivate your Book Martial Spirit. For now, let's continue with your original plan of obtaining a Spirit Ring with high Soul Power. Having more Soul Power is not a bad thing."
Su Wen approached, examining the shelves with various categories. He found the section on plant-type spirit beasts, looking at the titles one by one and selecting his targets.
Seeing this, Su Yuntao didn't interrupt. He left the library, preparing to find deacons who could accompany him in hunting Spirit Beasts.
"Spirit Essence Mushroom, possesses powerful regeneration capabilities, able to store a large amount of Soul Power."
"Heavenly Spirit Vine, abundant Soul Power, and resilient."
"Star Grass, transforms stellar energy, rapidly restoring Soul Power."
...
Su Wen's focus was on plant-type Spirit Beasts. Among the ten core characteristics of Martial Spirits, one stated that Beast Martial Spirits could absorb plant-type Spirit Rings, and plant-type Martial Spirits could absorb Spirit Rings from animal-type Spirit Beasts.
However, just because they could absorb them doesn't mean it's necessary to absorb them just for the sake of it.
'Could plant-type Martial Spirits completely digest the essence of the animal-type Spirit Rings they absorbed?
I'm afraid the process of evolving Martial Spirits can only happen if the spirit ring possess strong qualities that can forcefully guide the evolution.
For example, the durability and toxicity of the Datura snake enhance the Blue Silver Grass, but they are ultimately different species, and the enhancement is not entirely seamless.
"I still need to find something compatible with my book spirit."
As long as it aligns with the development direction of the Martial Spirit, it can't be considered wrong. After all, most Tool Martial Spirits can't find a Spirit Beast that perfectly matches, such as a hammer Martial Spirit not finding a hammer Spirit Beast.
"But my Book Martial Spirit is a bit different."
Books are related to plants. Absorbing Spirit Rings from plant-type Spirit Beasts can make it easier for Su Wen to absorb the Soul Power within and evolve his Martial Spirit.
"These Spirit Beasts all seem good, but they're all missing something."
Su Wen continued to browse through the Spirit Beasts' information.
...
Time passed.
Witht a Book Martial Spirit, Su Wen's efficiency in acquiring knowledge, especially through reading, is extremely high. By merging the Martial Spirit into the books, with one glance he can comprehend a vast amount of information. Although not instantaneous, the efficiency is greatly increased.
In just half a day, Su Wen had read almost half of the information in the library about Spirit Beasts.
"Xiaowen."
Su Yuntao's voice came from the doorway.
Su Wen placed the book he was holding back on the shelf and went to the door.
"Brother Tao."
"How's it going? Have you found a suitable Spirit Beast?"
"Yeah, I have a few targets."
Su Yuntao waved his hand, saying, "Take your time, try to find the one that suits you the best."
"Oh, by the way, these two will be our companions when we go hunting Spirit Beasts." Su Yuntao stepped aside, revealing a male and a female Spirit Master dressed in Spirit Hall deacon uniforms behind him.
"This is Sisi, my girlfriend, also a high-level Spirit Master. Her Martial Spirit is a whip."
"And this is Feng Yuan, whose Martial Spirit is the Wind Baboon. Among the three of us, he has the strongest frontal combat abilities."
