Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

As a spirit transfer master at the Spirit Transfer Tower, and also a Soul Master of considerable cultivation, he naturally knew how much spiritual power was needed to fuse with a second Soul Spirit. Upon closer inspection, wasn't this a student from the East Sea Academy who frequently cultivated at the Spirit Ascension Platform?

As a member of Class Zero, Nan Fusheng would come to the Spirit Ascension Platform of the Spirit Transmission Tower every week to cultivate. The Spirit Transmission Master at the front desk naturally knew him, but he didn't recognize him at first.

After all, Nan Fusheng and his group went straight to the Ascension Platform as soon as they arrived, and left immediately afterward, without having much interaction with the staff of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

“Yes, I’m here to obtain the second soul spirit,” Nan Fusheng said earnestly.

The spirit master said, "Child, you should know what level of spiritual power is needed to acquire a second soul spirit."

Nan Fusheng nodded. "Yes, I understand all of that."

"Alright, in that case, what kind of spirit do you want to choose?"

The original purpose of establishing the Spirit Pagoda was to provide soul spirits for soul masters. Since Nan Fusheng had said so, the spirit master had no way to refute it. Moreover, he believed that this calm child would not deceive him with such a clumsy lie.

Nan Fusheng had already decided on the soul he wanted to choose. During the three months of training at the Spirit Pagoda, he had unknowingly and quietly become a shallow parasite of a staff member of the Spirit Pagoda.

Through the memories stolen from the staff's dreams, Nan Fusheng also gained a general understanding of the spirits possessed in the Spirit Tower of Donghai City.

"I want a hundred-year-old Moonlight Insect Soul."

Moonlight Bugs can attract starlight and moonlight at night for cultivation. They are not strong offensively and can be considered a support-type spirit.

For martial souls related to stars, such as those related to the moon or star crown, these are considered a preferred choice.

"Okay, that's one million Federal Credits in total. Plus five thousand Federal Credits for the mental strength test. Please come over here to have your mental strength tested."

While Nan Fusheng's choice was somewhat surprising—after all, few Soul Masters make such a clear choice right from the start—most Soul Masters, aside from those from powerful families, would be carefully looking at the catalog and making their selections here!

However, the Spirit Transmission Master's professionalism was still quite high, which made him quickly regain his senses and speak to Nan Fusheng.

After paying, Nan Fusheng followed the spirit medium to a room on the side, a place specifically for testing people's spiritual power. For the Spirit Pagoda, everyone who comes to buy a spirit must first have their spiritual power tested.

This is to prevent insufficient spiritual power from causing the soul fusion to fail and ultimately harming the soul master. At the same time, this also allows the Spirit Pagoda to better grasp information about various soul masters, so as to discover outstanding talents among them.

Of course, it's okay if the Soul Master doesn't want to take the test, but if the Soul Fusion fails, the Spirit Pagoda will not be responsible.

The room was spacious. For the wealthy and powerful Spirit Pagoda, there was no need to be stingy in such a small matter. At this moment, only Nan Fusheng and the Spirit Master were in the room, and the Spirit Master was fiddling with the instruments.

Nan Fusheng also wanted to see what level his spiritual power was at, so he didn't refuse. As the instrument lit up, a soft white light began to shine from outside the helmet. The spirit medium looked at a soul-guided screen next to him, where data began to jump around.

But this data jumped a bit too fast, didn't it? It broke through the hundred mark in an instant. The spirit master beside him, who had been watching Nan Fusheng's spiritual power data, breathed a sigh of relief after it jumped over the hundred mark. The spiritual power of the Spirit Connection Realm was enough for Nan Fusheng to fuse two hundred-year-old soul spirits.

However, when they saw the data jump past one hundred and continue to rise rapidly, their mouths involuntarily widened. Two hundred, three hundred, four hundred...

Five hundred! When the data broke through the five hundred mark, the yellow on the instrument scale turned purple.

The Spirit Master stared at Nan Fusheng in disbelief. How could this be? How could a student from an intermediate-level Soul Master Academy have such high spiritual power?

The data on the instrument hadn't stopped jumping: six hundred, seven hundred, eight hundred...

Nine hundred and thirty-two—this was Nan Fusheng's final number.

Monster, this is a real monster! This was the Spirit Master's first impression of Nan Fusheng after seeing his stats. Could such stats really be achieved by a human?

This is defying the heavens! Let alone at East Sea Academy, you probably can't find a Soul Master in the entire continent whose mental strength can reach this level at this age.

Human mental strength increases with physical growth and remains at a steady level until the age of forty, increasing annually due to physical development. After forty, however, the average person begins to decline.

Soul Masters can even extend the duration of this continuous enhancement of spiritual power up to the age of sixty.

The Spirit Master had heard of Class Zero and knew it was a special class used by Donghai Academy this year to cultivate new geniuses. But this was just too incredible! How old did Nan Fusheng look?!

Judging from the age of new students admitted to Donghai Academy this year, he should only be ten years old! A ten-year-old Soul Master with a spiritual power of over 930 in the Spirit Sea Realm is a hurdle that most Soul Masters cannot overcome!

The Spirit Sea Realm is a vast and boundless ocean of spiritual power, a foundation for true mastery and becoming a powerful individual, whether a peak mech pilot or a peak soul master. Reaching this level of spiritual power is essential. It can support up to five yellow soul spirits, or three purple soul spirits and one black soul spirit.

Spiritual power at the Spirit Sea Realm level can even support a Soul Master to continuously cultivate until reaching the sixth or even seventh ring. It is an essential path for powerful Soul Masters.

It can be said that Nan Fusheng already possesses the qualifications to walk the path of a strongman. Not to mention that he is still so young, and his mental strength will only increase in the future.

"Report to headquarters, we must report to headquarters. We must give priority to recruiting such top geniuses to the Spirit Pagoda."

This was the Spirit Master's first thought: if he could recruit Nan Fusheng to the Spirit Tower, then as the discoverer, he would certainly receive commendation from headquarters. At the same time, he could also get acquainted with Nan Fusheng and build a good relationship with him.

Before the Spirit Master could think further, a subtle fluctuation of soul power swept past, and the Spirit Master felt dizzy, and the mental power data of Nan Fusheng recorded in his mind began to become blurry.

Chapter 58 Second Soul Spirit: Star Insect

The spirit medium began operating the instrument, recording Nan Fusheng's spiritual power data, as if they had forgotten about Nan Fusheng's previous spiritual power at the Spirit Sea Realm.

In fact, the Spirit Master did not remember Nan Fusheng's data. Nan Fusheng stole the Spirit Master's memories by "stealing" them and at the same time filled them with some false memories.

In the end, the Spirit Master completely forgot about the astonishing scene just now. Even so, the Spirit Master's attitude towards Nan Fusheng remained very warm, after all, this was the spiritual power of the Spirit Connection Realm!

Even within the records of the Spirit Pagoda, only a handful of people of the same age have achieved this, and those few have all left a vivid mark on the history of the Spirit Pagoda.

After recording Nan Fusheng's data, the spirit medium took him to the next room, where there were quite a few staff members of the Spirit Pagoda.

Upon entering the room, the spirit medium said to the person inside, "A hundred-year-old Moonlight Bug, hurry up."

"Ok."

Upon hearing the spirit medium's words, the staff immediately began operating a huge instrument that was three meters tall and six meters wide. Soon, a spherical object about one foot in diameter was brought to them by the staff.

The spirit medium handed it to Nan Fusheng. Inside the small ball lay a black beetle, its entire body radiating a white halo, with white dots of light on its back, like stars.

"Once the soul is activated, it must be fused within 24 hours, otherwise it will dissipate and die."

The spirit medium explained the precautions for fusing souls. Finally, he invited Nan Fusheng to join the Spirit Transfer Tower.

"Thank you for the invitation, Spirit Master, but I am still a student, and I would like to think about this matter carefully."

Nan Fusheng looked at the Spirit Pagoda, which was describing how great the organization was and how great the benefits of joining it, and politely declined.

"It's alright. You're still young. Joining an organization is something you do need to discuss with your family. In any case, our Spirit Pagoda welcomes you."

After being rejected by Nan Fusheng, the Spirit Pagoda was not angry. Instead, it spoke gently to Nan Fusheng, saying, "The Spirit Pagoda isn't some evil organization; it won't force anyone to join."

And so, Nan Fusheng returned to his dormitory with the newly acquired soul.

"I wonder what kind of soul skill I'll get?"

Having already experienced fusing with spirits before, Nan Fusheng's fusion this time went quite smoothly. As expected, the spirit's consciousness was directly replaced by Nan Fusheng's.

"Level 21 already, but this soul spirit?"

Nan Fusheng stretched out his hand, and in an instant, two hundred-year spirit rings appeared on his body, signifying that he had become a Great Spirit Master. At the same time, two insects also appeared in his palm.

A creature radiating a milky-white aura and translucent throughout was his first soul spirit: the Time Insect.

The other one also emitted a milky white halo, but in addition, there were specks of starlight surrounding it, making it look magnificent.

"Not only have their abilities changed, but their appearance has changed too?"

Yes, the original Moonbug looked like a beetle, but after Nan Fusheng merged with and replaced its consciousness, the Moonbug's appearance began to change, eventually turning into a worm-like shape.

"Although there is a chance that the soul spirit will change during the fusion with the soul master, that is only possible if the soul master's martial soul and bloodline are extremely powerful, which may cause the soul spirit to mutate and change its appearance."

The Moonbug was selected by Nan Fusheng from a wide variety of spirits over three months by having his memories stolen through the staff of the Parasitic Spirit Tower.

As one of the eighteen branch towers of the Spirit Pagoda organization, the Spirit Pagoda of Donghai City has a soul reserve that is incomparable to that of a small city like Aolai City.

There are thousands of choices for ten-year, hundred-year, and thousand-year souls alone, and there are even quite a few ten-thousand-year souls.

However, Nan Fusheng is currently unable to absorb the ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit, so he simply ignores it. Although his mental strength has reached the standard, his physical strength is still quite lacking.

While he could absorb thousand-year-old soul spirits, Nan Fusheng was broke. He was truly broke; the base price of a single thousand-year-old soul spirit was a staggering ten million Federal Credits, and that didn't even include the more powerful ones, which would have been even more expensive.

Therefore, the thousand-year-old souls were excluded, and the only choice was between ten-year-old and hundred-year-old souls. Even so, the selection process alone took Nan Fusheng a lot of time.

Finally, Nan Fusheng chose the century-old Moonlight Insect, which was the one he felt the strongest connection with among all the spirits he sensed.

Moonlight Bug: Soul Masters who choose this type of Soul Spirit, especially those specializing in strong attack, control, or agility attacks, will mostly obtain amplification-type Soul Skills. Of course, they may also sometimes obtain support-type Soul Skills.

It is said that if a Moonlight Worm can activate its bloodline when it becomes a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, it can evolve into a Moon Worm.

Moon worm and moon bug, a difference of just one word, yet they are worlds apart.

Just like the difference between the Terrorclaw Bear and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the Moon Worm is the king among insect-type soul beasts. It can fight with the power of moonlight and can also teleport using moonlight. It has strong attack power and extremely fast speed.

Unfortunately, records of Moon Worms only date back to ancient times, and these spirit beasts are now nearly extinct. Only Moonlight Worms with a diluted bloodline exist.

Even if the Moon Worm Soul Spirit truly existed, it wouldn't be Nan Fusheng's place to choose. After all, ordinary Soul Spirits are generally not very expensive, but Soul Beasts with top-tier bloodlines can be ridiculously expensive, and without connections, you wouldn't even be able to obtain one.

By fusing with the Moonlight Insect's soul, Nan Fusheng obtained a new soul skill: Gate.

Its name is "Door". Simply put, this soul skill gives Nan Fusheng spatial abilities.

Within a short distance, Nan Fusheng can use the "gate" ability to teleport continuously.

If he wanted, the "gate" ability could even teleport Nan Fusheng from one city to another.

However, if Nan Fusheng wanted to perform such a long-distance teleportation, he first had to go to that city and leave a mark there, which was the clone of his second soul spirit.

Nan Fusheng named his second soul spirit "Star Worm," since the original form of the Moon Worm was no longer recognizable. The Star Worm could also split, up to nine in total, which meant that Nan Fusheng could leave his mark in nine cities.

It's similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique in Naruto. It's worth mentioning that even if Nan Fusheng splits all nine "Star Insects" apart, it won't affect his ability to use short-distance teleportation.

Chapter 59 Preparation

"Letting the Time Worm slowly devour the opponent's martial spirit and life force while I hide in the shadows and observe—that's too sneaky!"

Nan Fusheng complained about his soul skill, "It's really too sneaky. I wonder what kind of third soul skill I will have when I become a Soul Master. I hope it won't be this kind of survival ability."
