At night, Wang Li returned home.
Wang Li sat on the bed, looking at the panel in front of him:
[Do you want to increase the age of the spirit ring (yes/no)]
He gained 18 experience points in the Soul Hunting Forest, but never found a suitable opportunity to use them. Now that he is back home and no one can disturb him, it is a good opportunity to try and use the experience to increase the age of his soul ring.
Then I silently said in my heart:
"yes!"
In just a moment, Wang Li couldn't help but summon his martial soul. The blue silver grass grew wildly and the yellow soul ring floated up and down.
At this moment, it seemed as if an invisible force surged into the soul ring from the surrounding void, and then the soul ring seemed to come alive, expanding and contracting like a beating heart.
Wang Li also widened his eyes. He felt a force rushing into his body and wandering freely, covering his skin, fat, muscles, bones, internal organs... His whole body was being washed by this force, experiencing destruction and regeneration, as if undergoing some kind of tempering.
However, this feeling came and went quickly. Within a dozen breaths, Wang Li felt that he had returned to normal.
Then he took a deep breath, with surprise dancing in his eyes:
"I didn't expect that increasing the age of my spirit rings would also cleanse my body and refine my spirit power. This is great news, and..."
Wang Li looked at his first soul ring. Now the age of his soul ring has reached an astonishing 422 years. As long as he continues to gain experience, he may be able to have a 999-year-old first soul ring.
This is just to avoid shocking the world. In the future, the first ring in a thousand years, the first ring in ten thousand years, the first ring in a hundred thousand years, and the first ring in a million years will no longer be a dream.
Soon, Wang Li withdrew his martial soul, put aside all distracting thoughts, and began to meditate and practice.
In the future, there will be another use for experience. He needs to practice hard on his own so that he can use more experience to improve the age of his spirit rings.
After practicing until he was exhausted, Wang Li fell asleep. This was not in the academy, nor in the Soul Hunting Forest. He slept soundly and did not wake up until noon.
But when he got up and opened the door, what caught his eye was a group of villagers who gathered outside his house with tables, chairs, benches, or pots, pans, and utensils.
When they saw Wang Li, they all looked at him, excited, thrilled, and a little in awe.
Wang Li was stunned for a moment, then he glanced at Wang Ping, walked over quickly and said:
"Grandpa Village Chief, everyone is here, why didn't you wake me up?"
Wang Ping looked at Wang Li, and the more he looked at him, the more proud and satisfied he became. He explained:
"This is what everyone wants. I informed the entire village last night. Everyone thinks you must have been very tired at Notting College. This time when I came back, I couldn't disturb you. I had to let you rest well. Now that you're awake, please say a few words."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent. Everyone looked at Wang Li with excited eyes and expressions.
Wang Li was helpless, but he also said loudly:
"Fellow villagers, uncles, I have become a spirit master and registered with the Wuhun Hall in Notting City. I have become an official spirit master of the Tiandou Empire and received a subsidy of one gold spirit coin."
"I used this gold soul coin to buy a lot of food. I'd like to ask all the villagers and uncles to help me. We'll have a feast at noon today!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone at the scene was in an uproar. He was a soul master, and an official soul master of the Tiandou Empire. For common people, he was already on the same level as aristocrats.
Their village had a formal soul master, which was not only an honor to tell others about, but also brought countless other hidden benefits. And the most important point was that Wang Li did not forget his fellow villagers even though he received the soul master subsidy.
Just after everyone cheered, Wang Ping directed everyone, some to kill pigs, some to process chickens and ducks... Soon Wang Li's house became busy and lively.
Soon after, inside the yard!
While directing everyone, Wang Ping looked at Wang Li and said gently:
"Xiao Li, how long can you stay in the village this time?"
Wang Li replied casually:
"I can live in the village for more than a month..."
After a pause, Wang Li said another thing:
"Grandpa Village Chief, I have become a Spirit Master and can now apply for graduation from Notting College. Soon, I will be recommended by the college to continue my studies at the Intermediate Spirit Master College. I may not be able to return for several years."
Wang Ping was surprised and happy when he heard this. Wang Li went to the Junior Soul Master Academy and became a Soul Master when he came back. In the future, he will go to the Intermediate Soul Master Academy, and when he comes back, he will become a famous and powerful Soul Master.
He looked at Wang Li. In less than a year, Wang Li had grown taller and stronger, and his expression had also shown the maturity of an adult. Wang Ping said with great satisfaction:
"Go ahead. Everyone in the village will help you look after the houses and fields. You can come back anytime you want. This will always be your home!"
Wang Li smiled and nodded. He didn't know when he would come back after this departure.
However, he was born in this village, and his fate with this village is definitely inseparable.
This time I invited the whole village to dinner so that they would have fewer worries when they leave.
By noon, the strong aroma of meat wafted through the courtyard. The whole village, young and old, was having a great time. It was a special occasion, and it would be hard for anyone not to be happy if it wasn't a New Year or a festival.
The buffet, the big pot rice, the heavy oil and salt, may not be very exquisite, but it is very stimulating to the taste buds. Everyone eats very happily and does not leave until dark.
The next day!
Wang Li's door was still bustling with activity, but he couldn't be busy with social events every day, so he went straight to the back mountain and began to train himself to use his first soul skill.
His first soul skill, Growth, can instantly produce a large number of blue silver vines, which can be controlled at will.
This shows that its application range is very broad, but if you want to really make the most of it, you definitely need training.
When facing an enemy, Wang Li can manipulate six vines, twelve vines, or twenty-four vines to attack or control it.
But when facing two enemies, or even four enemies, or eight enemies, whether he can respond calmly and flexibly is the focus of the training.
Distracted control, just like drawing a square with the left hand and a circle with the right hand, Wang Li used a blue-silver vine with his left hand to wrap around and bind, while using a blue-silver vine with his right hand to whip and lash.
At the beginning, the two vines on the left and right always made the same movements unconsciously. Even if Wang Li intended to control them, as long as he was a little careless, the movements would overlap again.
This gave Wang Li a headache. After repeated training, he gradually got on the right track, but he always felt like he was split apart.
Curious villagers would go to the back mountain to watch. When they saw the thick vines like pythons, they would always exclaim in amazement and become more and more in awe of Wang Li.
Time quickly passed, and more than forty days later...
