Chapter 42 Self-created Soul Skill - Sage's Finger! [Please read on! Please vote!]

The stars twinkled, and the midnight breeze swept across the wheat field, giving it the shape of invisible waves, swirling the golden wheat under the starlight. On the snow-white road, a small Soul Engine car was parked by the roadside, and two small figures lay on the grass beside the road, counting the stars in the sky.

"One day, perhaps we'll be able to see what's beyond the heavens." Chen Hong lay on the lawn, his head resting on his hand, gazing at the dazzling Milky Way in the night sky, his dark eyes filled with longing for the starry heavens.

Humans have never hidden their yearning for the starry sky, and Chen Hong is no exception, especially after he has witnessed a magnificent corner of the universe.

This is a world with gods, a plane with strange soul power. Is the composition of this universe a breathtaking spectacle that is completely different from the interstellar universe?

"The heavens... isn't that where the gods live?" The girl's eyes shone like a galaxy under the starry sky as she stared blankly at the heavens and answered in a daze.

"Heh, are you stupid? Have you ever seen God? How do you know they definitely live outside the heavens if you haven't seen them?"

Chen Hong chuckled and reached out to pinch Ye Lingling's soft, tender cheek, who was lying next to his head. "Have you been studying your spirit rings properly?"

"Brother Hong, you can't call me stupid! Lingling is very smart, even Aunt Ning praises me like that!"

Ye Lingling pouted, raised her hand and slapped Chen Hong's hand away before answering, "I'm already at the second level, but comprehending spirit rings is so difficult, just like Brother Hong said. The only good thing is that my first and second spirit rings are the same."

"Brother Hong, do you think it's useless that my first and second spirit rings are the same?"

Ye Lingling's tone was soft and weak, and she seemed somewhat insecure.

Chen Hong's dazzling wisdom made Ye Lingling feel a little insecure, even though she was the same age and a level higher in soul power than him.

Chen Hong touched the pale gold headband on his head, and under Ye Lingling's large, watery eyes, nodded in agreement, saying, "It does seem a little bit useless. Hey, hey, don't cry! I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the inscriptions inside the soul ring."

Ye Lingling's pale purple eyes immediately welled up with tears after Chen Hong's words. She sat on the lawn, looking at Chen Hong with a pitiful expression, as if to say, "If you say I'm useless again, I'll cry for you."

"From a certain perspective, your martial soul might be extremely powerful. Once I have enough experience in martial soul research, shall we work together to unravel the mysteries of your martial soul? Right now, you should try to comprehend your spirit rings; they are very useful."

Chen Hong quickly got up to comfort Ye Lingling, and even summoned his soul ring. He leaned close to Ye Lingling's ear and whispered, "Lingling, look, I'm going to tell you a secret. I haven't even told my mom yet! You have to remember to keep it a secret."

The boy's voice reached Ye Lingling's ears, and the warm sunlight gently caressed her fair earlobe. Ye Lingling's face flushed slightly, and then she nodded earnestly, saying, "I will definitely keep it a secret for Brother Hong!"

"Okay, I believe you, Lingling, look." Chen Hong nodded, and then sat cross-legged facing Ye Lingling on the lawn.

Beneath the glittering starry sky, the evening breeze ruffled the hair of the young man and woman. The young man slowly raised his palm, then extended a finger. The pale yellow soul ring, like a shrunken ring, was placed on his index finger. The mysterious and profound patterns seemed to shimmer with flowing light. Finally, he gently touched the forehead of the slightly rosy-cheeked girl.

Boo.

The boy's fingers were so cool that Ye Lingling couldn't help but let out a soft moan. Then she found that her senses seemed to be becoming more acute, and her thoughts were becoming clearer. In that instant, she seemed to hear the sounds of everything in the world: starlight, wheat fields, a gentle breeze, the boy's breathing and heartbeat.

Ye Lingling's gentle eyes slowly regained their clarity as she looked at Chen Hong, and her slightly flushed face gradually returned to its snow-white, flawless state. At this moment, clear reason took over Ye Lingling's brain, which had almost been conquered by her own will.

Original creation? Soul Skill: Sage's Finger!

A sage touched my head! With a single finger, he illuminated my mind!

By using physical contact, Chen Hong activated the effect of his "Sage Time" skill, thereby making the other person's mind become like that of a sage. Chen Hong originally intended to call it the "Impotence Finger." However, considering that kicking someone's scrotum could also have the effect of causing impotence, he ultimately decided to use a more normal name.

This is the first step in Chen Hong's analysis of his soul rings, slightly altering the activation conditions of his soul skills to achieve entirely new soul skill release effects.

As Chen Hong's research deepens and his spiritual power continues to increase, he will be able to reach the second or even the third step of Soul Ring Analysis.

Ye Lingling, stunned by Chen Hong's finger striking her forehead, stood rooted to the spot, her pale red eyes coldly fixed on Chen Hong before her, remaining silent and speechless.

"Eh, Lingling, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Ye Lingling remained motionless, Chen Hong curiously leaned closer, looking her up and down.

"The Sage's Finger should be fine, I've used it so many times myself, and I even used the lowest power setting, why aren't you saying anything?"

Chen Hong shook his head back and forth, then noticed that Ye Lingling's eyes were fixed on him silently, but she didn't say a word. This puzzled Chen Hong, and just as he was about to scratch his head, he suddenly felt a tremendous force strike him. A small hand containing soul power pressed directly onto Chen Hong's chest, slamming him to the ground!

"Forehead"

Under the starry sky, Chen Hong, pressed down on the grass, stared blankly at Ye Lingling, who was pressing one hand against his chest, her eyes crystal clear. In those ruby-like eyes, Chen Hong saw his own reflection in the starlight.

The girl pressed her body against Chen Hong, and her small hands, which were channeling soul power, were amplified by immense force, pinning Chen Hong to the ground where he was unable to resist.

"You're too weak, Brother Hong."

Ye Lingling, a Great Soul Master, pressed down on Chen Hong, a Soul Master, with one hand, and gently stroked Chen Hong's small face, which kept trying to tilt back, with the other hand.

"Hehe~" Ye Lingling gave a faint, cool laugh. Under the starlight, her smile had a touch of indifference and composure. She was no longer the shy little girl who would hide behind others.

The cold and aloof begonia under the moon is a true reflection of Ye Lingling's current state.

"But don't worry, from now on, Lingling will protect my good-for-nothing brother Hong~"

Damn it! Is this what you really think?

The girl's cool, soft hand gently touched Chen Hong's cheek amidst his defiant expression, her tone indifferent and flippant.

"Lingling, focus on your training. The good-for-nothing Hong-gege can just support me from behind~"

You're the support!

Ye Lingling lifted Chen Hong's chin, her pale red eyes revealing a strange confidence and an undisguised amusement.
