This time, Jin Bao looked at the two choices before him. The first was a giant image of Money. Its ability was simple: it released spirit power to emit light that illuminated a large area in front of it. Within this range, allies would receive a minor frenzy buff, while enemies would suffer from accelerated spirit power consumption.
Furthermore, as long as this Spirit Ability was active, Jin Bao could use his first two Spirit Abilities at any time within the range of the light, no longer restricted by their original range limitations.
And this range was roughly one hundred meters.
After understanding the effects of this Spirit Ability, Jin Bao really wanted to choose it immediately because it fit his role perfectly. Once he had this Spirit Ability, he would become the core of the entire team. Under the dual debuffs of the Third Soul Skill and the Second Spirit Ability, his side could establish a massive advantage in a short amount of time.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Jin Bao turned his gaze toward the other Spirit Ability.
If the previous Spirit Ability didn't require much technique, then this latter one not only required casting skill but also demanded his own calculation and control abilities.
The effect of this Spirit Ability was to use the Sub-coins created by the Spirit or the effects of Spirit Abilities as a medium to transmit spirit power.
Notably, first, this transmission was only limited by his own spirit power. Once attached, it would remain stuck unless he disconnected it or a special Spirit Ability dispelled it. Although only one could be attached to a single target, Jin Bao could currently produce nine Sub-coins in his basic state!
Did you think this Spirit Ability turned Jin Bao into the team's spirit power storage device?
No!
One of its true effects was to regulate the spirit power of teammates. If a teammate who had been ambushed was about to be forced out of the match, this move could be used to transfer their spirit power into the bodies of the teammates still on the field.
Most importantly, he could steal the opponent's spirit power!
Think about it: give a Sub-coin to an allied Spirit Master, and when they clash head-on with the opponent, they stick the Sub-coin onto the enemy. Combined with the Second Spirit Ability, it would weaken the enemy's spirit power while simultaneously draining it. Under this double weakening, the enemy would quickly consume a massive amount of spirit power.
However, the only pity was that the speed of spirit power transmission was limited; this could only be improved as his Rank increased.
Another point was that with the help of the third soul ring, the range of his first two Spirit Abilities had increased. The basic range of the First Spirit Skill reached thirty meters, and under his control, it could reach fifty meters in a single direction without affecting its use. The range of the Second Spirit Ability had grown directly to one hundred and twenty meters!
Looking at the two Spirit Abilities, Jin Bao began to ponder. Did he want a field-control Spirit Ability now, or one that could control the entire situation?
Of the two Spirit Abilities, the former was open and direct, while the latter was for scheming in the shadows. Which one was more suitable for him?
Muluofu breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the soul ring finish being absorbed. Because this Spirit Beast had mutated due to the Blood Moon energy, it was normal for the resulting impact to be somewhat larger. Seeing that Jin Bao had successfully absorbed it, he relaxed.
Seeing Jin Bao open his eyes, Muluofu quickly asked, "Jin Bao, how is the Spirit Ability?"
Jin Bao gave a smile. "Teacher, the Spirit Ability is very suitable for me. Thank you, Teacher."
Muluofu said, "What are you saying? Isn't my job to bring you here to hunt for a soul ring? If I didn't let you get a suitable one, then I'd truly be a teacher in name only! Tell me! What kind of Spirit Ability is it?"
In fact, he was even more excited than Jin Bao. Although this kind of Spirit Beast was a mutation formed under special circumstances, it meant that such beasts had appeared before and would appear again in the future. Knowing some basic information about it was a resource for him, which he could later exchange for internal contributions!
Jin Bao said, "Teacher, you should experience it for yourself!" As he spoke, Jin Bao's third soul ring lit up, and immediately after, a Sub-coin mark landed on Muluofu.
"Marking other people or objects? If it can expand your control range, then it's a decent Spirit Ability," Muluofu said, about to test how far the range of this move reached.
"Teacher, you're in too much of a hurry! It hasn't even started yet!" Jin Bao chuckled and officially activated the Spirit Ability.
"Eh, this is—!" Muluofu felt a surge of spirit power being injected into his body from the place where the mark was, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Directly transmitting spirit power—he had never seen such a Spirit Ability!
Then, he felt the spirit power that had flowed into his body flow back out, taking a bit of his own spirit power with it.
Hey! It's fine if you take a little, but don't push your luck!
Feeling his spirit power continuing to drain, Muluofu opened his eyes. "Stop! I already know the effect of the Spirit Ability."
Jin Bao then smiled and withdrew the mark. "Teacher, what do you think?"
Muluofu asked, "What's the maximum number of targets at once?"
Jin Bao replied, "Nine for now. There will be more in the future, but that will likely have to wait until the next soul ring."
Muluofu exclaimed, "Nine! So many! That means you can drain the opponent's spirit power!"
Jin Bao said, "Teacher, theoretically, I could even drain a Titled Douluo if they didn't resist. But as you know, the higher the strength, the purer the spirit power and the higher the quality. For example, one portion of your spirit power is worth ten of mine!"
Muluofu said, "Of course! I am a Spirit King, after all! But you absorbed quite a bit of my spirit power; can your body handle it?" As he spoke, he squeezed Jin Bao's arm.
"Wait! You've gotten thinner, kid!" He only then realized that while Jin Bao was originally tall, he also had quite a bit of fat on him. But now, all that mass was gone. He wasn't exactly skin and bones, but his physique was now similar to that of an ordinary Support-type Soul Master.
"Teacher, this is the Spirit influence brought by my third soul ring. My body—or rather, my internal organs, bones, and even flesh—can store spirit power. According to my current level, if I fill this body with stored spirit power, it's equivalent to three times my standard spirit power!" Jin Bao said with a smile.
"The reason my size grew so rapidly before was also because of this. However, if I want to store even more spirit power, I'll need to go back to being as fat as before, or even fatter."
"One of you being worth three is great! Maybe in the future, you can be worth five! What's wrong with being a bit fat? For us Spirit Masters, strength is what matters most!" Muluofu said without hesitation.
"However, now that you've thinned down, your face is actually quite handsome! No wonder you didn't want to be fat!"
Jin Bao gave a 'hehe' laugh. "Teacher, this is what I originally looked like!"
Muluofu slapped Jin Bao on the shoulder. "Alright, our task for this trip is half-finished. Take this thing back as proof. Since you're not tired, let's head out!"
