Leng Yaozhu felt fortunate in her heart for accepting Jing Shaoyu as her disciple, unaware of the great price she would pay for this matter in the future.
"A'yuan, what is the effect of your third Soul Skill?" she asked.
Jing Shaoyu was currently immersed in the other changes of the Origin Spirit Martial Soul. When he heard Leng Yaozhu asking about his third Soul Skill, a smile appeared on his lips. With a wave of his hand, a staff with a deep blue rhombus-shaped gemstone embedded at the top appeared in his hand. The staff's body was silver, engraved with patterns representing the starry sky. The bottom was a round gem, and the deep blue gemstone at the top was pure and transparent, as if one could see the deep starry sky and brilliant stars within.
This was the Staff of Stars, the Origin Spirit's weapon.
The sun, moon, and stars also belong to nature in a broad sense, so it was reasonable for the Origin Spirit to possess a scepter that could evoke the power of the stars.
In addition to being able to evoke the power of the stars, bless a designated target, and increase attack power and speed, the Staff of Stars could also increase Jing Shaoyu's release speed of Soul Skills and reduce Soul Power consumption. More importantly, by using the Staff of Stars to cast Soul Skills, the effects of the Soul Skills would be enhanced. From Jing Shaoyu's current realm, this enhancement was about 30%.
Leng Yaozhu looked at the scepter that appeared out of thin air in Jing Shaoyu's hand with surprise and asked, "A'yuan, is this staff your third Soul Skill?"
"No, teacher." Jing Shaoyu shook his head and said, "This is the Staff of Stars, a weapon that comes with the Origin Spirit Martial Soul. It can increase my casting speed. As for my third Soul Skill, it's this."
He raised the Staff of Stars, and three purple Soul Rings floated behind him. The third one shone with light, and then a gentle and vibrant rain of green droplets slowly fell from above the Staff of Stars. These green droplets fell on Leng Yaozhu, and she immediately understood the effect of Jing Shaoyu's third Soul Skill, a smile blooming on her pretty face.
"My third Soul Skill, Origin Sweet Dew, is a group healing Soul Skill that can restore the target's full Soul Power and vitality, while also healing all abnormal states," Jing Shaoyu said.
"Very good, very good!" Leng Yaozhu commented.
Leng Yaozhu thought that Jing Shaoyu's gains after breaking through to Soul Grandmaster were only these, so she prepared to take Jing Shaoyu away from the Star Dou Great Forest and return to the Spirit Pagoda.
However, only Jing Shaoyu himself knew that there was actually another gain that he didn't mention.
The Heart of Eternity, the true core of the Origin Spirit Martial Soul, was Jing Shaoyu's second heart. It could not provide Jing Shaoyu with any assistance in cultivation. Its function was very simple, only four words: immortality! If the Heart of Eternity does not perish, the Origin Spirit will not die! Of course, the actual effect was not so exaggerated. Limited by Jing Shaoyu's strength, the current effect of the Heart of Eternity was only to provide Jing Shaoyu with a resurrection and rebirth with a price. When the Heart of Eternity was intact, even if Jing Shaoyu died from a broken heart, he could be resurrected and reborn as long as he paid the price with his own cultivation.
This was already an extremely heaven-defying effect.
As for the ultimate effect of immortality, it would probably have to wait for Jing Shaoyu's realm and cultivation to improve before it could be achieved.
The Crown of Nature, Origin Wings, Eye of Dao and Dharma, Staff of Stars, and Heart of Eternity. Only then could Jing Shaoyu's Origin Spirit Martial Soul be considered completely awakened. The Origin Spirit with the five holy objects was the true Origin Spirit.
From then on, all the changes of the Origin Spirit Martial Soul were only additions on this basis, and there would be no essential changes.
"Teacher, have I condensed a Soul Core?" Jing Shaoyu finally focused his attention on the colorless rhombus-shaped crystal spinning in his Dantian, with a puzzled expression on his face. This crystal was not quite the same as the Soul Core he knew.
"Half and half," Leng Yaozhu said, "At most, you can only be considered to have a Pseudo-Core."
"Pseudo-Core?"
"Pseudo-Core, different from a real Soul Core." Leng Yaozhu explained, "Your realm is too low. The Soul Core you condensed is just a pure Soul Power crystal. Compared with a real Soul Core, it lacks your own Martial Soul characteristics and Soul Power resonance. To achieve this, Soul King is the minimum requirement."
"Ah, this!" Jing Shaoyu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this. Sure enough, what he saw in books was only the surface.
"Don't be disappointed. You've already done something unprecedented by achieving this step." Leng Yaozhu rubbed Jing Shaoyu's hair and said, "Next, just wait for your realm to reach Soul King, and for your development and understanding of your Martial Soul to meet the requirements. Your Pseudo-Core will naturally transform into a real Soul Core."
"Okay." Jing Shaoyu could only shrug helplessly.
"Don't worry, I'll help you then," Leng Yaozhu said with a smile.
After the master and disciple returned to the 101st floor of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters building, Leng Yaozhu excitedly tested Jing Shaoyu's physical data again, and the results surprised her greatly.
After reaching the Soul Grandmaster realm, Jing Shaoyu's physical strength directly broke through 9,000, reaching 9,135 years, and his spiritual power directly broke through the Spirit Connection Realm, reaching the Spirit Sea Realm, with the value staying at 666 points. This meant that Jing Shaoyu might be able to contract a black Soul Spirit and fuse with a black Soul Ring when he was a Soul Ancestor!
Leng Yaozhu happily hugged Jing Shaoyu, rubbed his cheeks fiercely for a while, and then let him go, saying with a hearty laugh, "A'yuan, we'll go back to East Sea City tomorrow. On the way, I'll take you to Star Luo City. That's my hometown!"
"Okay." Jing Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Leng Yaozhu say that they would return to East Sea City tomorrow. He was really afraid that Leng Yaozhu would get a hot head and leave him at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters. If that were the case, wouldn't he be deviating from the main storyline? This was absolutely not allowed. Gu Yue had already been more than half conquered by him. Leaving at this time would be like killing him directly.
On the other side, Jing Shaoyu's information was already on Qian Gu Dongfeng's desk. As the head of the Spirit Pagoda organization, it was simply too easy for him to obtain this information.
"Jing Shaoyu, ten years old, a student in First Grade Class Zero of the Intermediate Department at East Sea Academy in East Sea City. Martial Soul: Origin Spirit, suspected to be a healing-type super Martial Soul. Soul Power: Level 29. Soul Spirit: Scarlet Jade Spirit Bird (purple). Foster mother: Jing Ziyuan..."
Qian Gu Dongfeng recited Jing Shaoyu's information, the light in his eyes flickering, making it impossible to discern his thoughts. Soon, he finished reading Jing Shaoyu's information and placed it back on his desk, thoughtfully saying, "He's a rare genius. Yaozhu has picked up a treasure this time! Healing type, healing type..."
He leaned back in his chair, his hands naturally resting on the armrests. His right hand tapped the armrest, making "clang, clang, clang" sounds. His face was expressionless, and it was impossible to know what he was thinking.
The next day, Jing Shaoyu and Leng Yaozhu left the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.
Before leaving, Leng Yaozhu met with Qian Gu Dongfeng. When she came out, her face was ashen, and her brow was furrowed, clearly indicating that her conversation with Qian Gu Dongfeng had not been pleasant.
Jing Shaoyu didn't dare to ask. An angry Leng Yaozhu was truly terrifying, with a murderous aura gathering around her, as if she could crush any living thing that approached.
Perhaps to vent her inner dissatisfaction, Leng Yaozhu drove very fast, speeding along the highway leading directly to East Sea City. The scenery along the way seemed to be playing at double speed, and Jing Shaoyu's eyesight couldn't make out a thing.
In the afternoon, they arrived at Star Luo City.
As one of the oldest cities on the Douluo Continent, Star Luo City was very different from other historical cities. It completely lacked the heavy, ancient sense of accumulation. On the contrary, it looked very youthful, very vibrant, and full of technology, like a new type of Soul Guidance technology city.
This was perhaps the characteristic of Star Luo City: keeping pace with the times and not being bound by the past, just like the former Star Luo Empire, actively seeking change. Although it ultimately failed, it was undeniable that the Star Luo Empire was far ahead compared to the original Heaven Dou kingdoms of the Douluo Continent.
"This is Star Luo City!" Jing Shaoyu looked at the tall buildings outside the car window, the ring bridges and overpasses, and the endless stream of vehicles, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's completely different from what I imagined."
"Oh? What did you think Star Luo City would be like?" Leng Yaozhu asked with a smile, her anger now gone.
"I thought that a famous city with a history of over 20,000 years would have tall city walls, ancient buildings, and a city that would be full of the ancient charm of the years at first glance," Jing Shaoyu said.
"The kind of city you're describing is very much like Heaven Dou City," Leng Yaozhu chuckled. "Once you've been to Heaven Dou City, you'll find that it and Star Luo City are like they're in two different eras. I really like Star Luo City; it's always so youthful and full of vitality."
"Is that so? Then I must go to Heaven Dou City to see it in the future," Jing Shaoyu said with a smile.
"Sure, when your cultivation is strong enough, not to mention Heaven Dou City, you can even go to Heaven Dou City on the Heaven Dou Continent and Star Luo City on the Star Luo Continent," Leng Yaozhu said with considerable pride.
When Jing Shaoyu heard Leng Yaozhu mention the Star Luo Continent and the Heaven Dou Continent, he immediately became interested and asked, "Teacher, you mentioned the Star Luo Continent and the Heaven Dou Continent. How are these two continents different from our Douluo Continent?"
"Different?" Leng Yaozhu asked rhetorically, "What aspects are you referring to?"
"Hmm~" Jing Shaoyu pondered for a moment, then said, "For example, the natural environment? The types of Soul Beasts?"
"The natural environment?" Leng Yaozhu thought for a moment, then said, "Because the level of technological development is not high on the Star Luo Continent and the Heaven Dou Continent, the natural environment is very good. There are still considerable areas of primeval forest on each continent.
"As for the types of Soul Beasts, there are many Soul Beasts on these two continents, but the high-level Soul Beasts are not as good as those on our Douluo Continent, and the types are not as abundant as they once were on the Douluo Continent, but they are not much different."
"I see," Jing Shaoyu said.
