The Chapter of Spirit is a blue diamond-shaped badge, about the size of a fist, just the right size to be grasped in one hand.

Fang Yu gently stroked the badge and found that it felt no different from metal. The badge was engraved with an eye, which seemed to be a metaphor for the eye of the soul.

From the description of this badge, we can infer that there is a high probability that the badge and the Book of the Forge were created by the same spiritual master.

Book of the Forge Quality: Gold Type: Knowledge Effect: Upon use, there is a 50% chance to advance a Spirit-related specialization to Master level. (Current Spirit-related specialization: Return to Origin Specialization.)

Rating: 392 (Gold rating is 310~400.)

Synopsis: There are golden trees in books, and beautiful women in books.

Price: 156000

Seeing the 50% success rate, Fang Yu immediately felt confident. With his innate talent and sudden enlightenment, he had that much confidence.

Since acquiring the [Return to Origin] specialization in the Ling Cage world, he has attached great importance to this ability, ranking it second only to swordsmanship and physical skills.

Any surplus resources will be used to improve this skill.

As the level of the Return to Origin specialization continues to increase, the effect of [Return to Origin] becomes more and more significant. Now in the derivative world, he hardly has to worry about mental control from contractors or plot characters.

Even if it cannot be resisted, it can still offset more than 80% of the control effect.

In addition to resisting various mental interference skills, it can also greatly enhance resistance to negative states such as dizziness, hypnosis, and even mood swings.

At the same time, it also inflicts a certain degree of soul damage, although the value is not high, it is better than nothing.

In the combat system he gradually built, the [Return to Origin] specialization has become an indispensable skill-based ability, and also his only mental defense.

With his mastery of four techniques—Returning to Origin and Guarding the Heart, Close Combat Protection, Knife Skills, and Firearms Bombardment—he has become a "hexagonal warrior" who excels in both offense and defense. As a result, in the derivative worlds he has experienced so far, he has rarely encountered a contractor who can truly rival him.

[Do/Do not use the Book of the Forge.]

Fang Yu chose "Yes".

After selecting to use it, the surrounding space surged, just like Fang had experienced before. The signs were the same as when he used "Physical Skill Insights" last time, and he knew that he was about to be teleported to a trial scene.

With flashes of light and shadow, we finally arrived at a valley filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

The valley is filled with blooming flowers and lush greenery. A waterfall about ten feet high cascades down like a white ribbon, crashing into a deep pool below. Beside the pool, a slender figure in a long red trench coat stands quietly, seemingly gazing at the scene before her.

Fang Yu quickly scanned his surroundings, confirming that this was still the training ground. His gaze returned to the red figure, whose presence was so faint as to be almost nonexistent. No matter how he tried to sense it, it was as if there was no one there, and only his eyes could catch sight of the figure.

rustle----

Fang hesitated for a moment, then stepped through the colorful flower bushes and quickly walked to the woman in red's side.

The woman was about 1.7 meters tall. When Fang Yu glanced at her from the side, he felt that she was extremely beautiful, with blood-red eyes like dazzling rubies. No matter how you looked at her, she was just a slender and beautiful woman.

Fang Yu did not lower his guard, but tentatively opened his mouth.

"What are you looking at?"

He looked up and saw a waterfall cascading down, its waters crystal clear, the fish and shrimp reflecting the sunlight with iridescent brilliance. To be fair, the scenery of this valley truly resembled a fairyland.

However, the woman in red remained silent, like a frozen sculpture.

Fang frowned, inwardly sighing "weirdo," and decided to stop worrying about it. He leaned back, crossed his legs, and lay comfortably in the flowerbed, admiring the scenery on his own.

A breeze occasionally blew through the valley, carrying with it a faint, delicate fragrance emanating from the woman. Her red trench coat would sometimes flutter in the wind, revealing the slender curves outlined by the tight-fitting red fabric beneath—a near-perfect S-curve.

Her graceful figure adds a touch of charm to the natural scenery.

"Is it pretty?"

Just as Fang Yu's gaze inadvertently fell upon that rounded arc, a soft voice suddenly rang out. He subconsciously looked up and met a pair of smiling, blood-red eyes.

Fang Yu nodded earnestly: "It looks good."

"But I'm a man."

"ha?!"

Fang Yu's pupils contracted sharply, his crossed legs froze instantly, and he sat bolt upright. His fingers trembled slightly as he pointed at the other person in disbelief, "You, you're a man?"

The woman in red turned around with a smile. The wind had stopped, and her large trench coat once again concealed her figure, making it impossible for Fang to tell whether she was real or not for a moment.

"Our race only displays distinct male and female characteristics during reproduction."

Her gaze seemed to casually sweep over Fang Yu's waist, her tone carrying a hint of malicious teasing: "Maybe—mine is even bigger than yours."

Fang Yu's face darkened: "You men have chests too?"

The woman in red winked playfully and exposed her chest: "You can touch it, it's a pectoral muscle."

"never mind."

Fang Yu stood up as if he had lost his soul, his expression somewhat lifeless. He had actually been admiring a man for so long, and now he felt ashamed of himself.

"Pfft, hahaha!"

Upon seeing Fang Yu's appearance, the woman in red immediately burst into laughter. "I was just kidding, there's no such race!"

"hehe."

Fang Yu forced a smile, inwardly cursing her as a tomboy.

Unexpectedly, the red-clad woman's smile vanished instantly. Her bloodshot eyes fixed on Fang Yu, and she coldly sneered, somewhat breathless, "I think we can begin. I hope you'll like my teaching methods."

Noticing the change in the woman's expression, Fang Yu was startled and had a bad feeling. This woman might be able to read minds.

"I don't know. In short, the rest of the teaching will depend on your comprehension."

The woman in red's nonchalant words made Fang Yu roll his eyes. "You say you won't? What's the difference between that and making it clear?"

"Tell me first what your understanding and definition of the spiritual realm are."

The woman in red slowly walked forward, asking questions as she circled around Fang Yu, observing him closely as if trying to confirm something.

Upon hearing this question, Fang Yu frowned, ignoring the strange behavior of the woman in red, focusing all his attention on the words "understanding" and "definition".

Regarding the word "definition," Shadow had asked him about it when he was advancing to the Master of Melee Defense. In the end, he understood that it meant finding the development direction that best suited his own abilities and then moving in that direction.
