Su Yuntao looked at Wang Li with a pitying gaze, sighing and shaking his head, finally saying:
"Three levels of spirit power, with such talent, why is it a Blue Silver Grass Spirit? This kind of Spirit has no attack power, no defense power. Even if it were a hammer or an axe, he could become an excellent Spirit Master..."
After his lament, Su Yuntao still dutifully asked:
"Child, what is your name?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Li immediately replied:
"Wang Li!"
Su Yuntao took out paper and pen, swiftly writing out a Spirit Hall certificate. Wang Family Village, Wang Li... When it came to filling in the Spirit, Su Yuntao thought of the thicker, more upright Blue Silver Grass, and as if possessed, he wrote down 'Mutated Blue Silver Grass,' finally filling in 'three levels of spirit power.'
He handed the completed Spirit Hall certificate, bearing the Spirit Hall emblem, to Wang Li, then said:
"Child, take this Spirit Hall certificate and wait over there."
Wang Li took the Spirit Hall certificate, walked out of the array, and stood to the side, his expression still somewhat dazed.
Su Yuntao glanced at him again, his pity deepening. In his opinion, Wang Li couldn't immediately accept the news: he had spirit power, yet his Spirit was useless. Shaking his head, he then said:
"Next..."
Little did he know, Wang Li was currently looking at a panel that had awakened simultaneously with his memories, a part that had remained dormant until today:
[Host: Wang Li]
[Spirit: Blue Silver Grass Lv2 (Evolving)]
[spirit power: Three Levels of spirit power (54%) +]
[Trait: Vitality Lv2 (Blue Silver Grass, found in every corner of the Continent, though pitifully weak, possesses strong vitality and can slowly recover from damage)]
[Passive: Tenacity Lv2 (What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Facing any abnormal status, as long as direct death is avoided, physical constitution will become stronger upon recovery)]
[spirit ring: None]
[Spirit Bone: None]
[Experience: 0]
Looking at this panel, some of Wang Li's doubts finally had answers:
My Spirit is still Blue Silver Grass, but it's not some Mutated Blue Silver Grass; it's an evolving Blue Silver Grass. Is its evolution due to my transmigration, or because of this panel?
In any case, this is a good thing. The Blue Silver Grass only evolved to Level 2 and already granted me three levels of spirit power. If it evolves to max level, won't I just soar?
Thinking of this, Wang Li felt quite excited.
Continuing to look, three levels of spirit power, 54%, +... Does this mean my spirit power is actually three and a half levels, and the plus sign means I can directly increase it?!
Deep Blue, add points?!
This solves the cultivation problem too; it's so thoughtful, incredibly thoughtful.
One for Vitality, one for Tenacity—these are indeed characteristics and passives a plant should have. And their levels are tied to the Spirit's level, meaning that traits and passives depend on the Spirit's quality.
Wang Li felt some regret. Even with its evolution, the Blue Silver Grass Spirit's quality was still too low. If it were a top-tier Spirit, it would surely have powerful traits and passives.
However, a common Blue Silver Grass, and himself starting as an orphan, are quite a suitable match. It can increase his survival rate on the path of a Spirit Master. Only by living can he go further.
As for spirit rings and Spirit Bones, that's not something he should be thinking about now. He can only acquire his first spirit ring after cultivating to Level 10.
Wang Li mentally organized all the information he knew. First, he had a cheat: as long as he had experience points, he could directly increase his spirit power. At the same time, his Spirit had begun to evolve, but he couldn't directly increase it with experience. So, what he needed to consider was how to gain experience points and the pathways for his Spirit's evolution.
After understanding these things, Wang Li felt a sudden enlightenment.
Thinking carefully, the future Douluo Continent is actually quite dangerous, but as long as his strength grows, he can embark on a free and unrestrained adventure in another World, without having to worry too much about other things.
Meanwhile, Su Yuntao had already awakened the Spirits of the remaining five children. As expected, they were all Spirits like farming tools and Blue Silver Grass, without spirit power. The only one with spirit power, Wang Li, also had a Blue Silver Grass Spirit.
A useless Spirit is just a useless Spirit. Su Yuntao was quite dejected; this trip was again in vain. He could only place his hopes on the next village.
After dispelling his Spirit Possession and returning to his human form, Su Yuntao looked a bit tired. He packed up all his belongings into his satchel, pushed open the door, and walked out.
Outside, Village Chief Wang Ping and a group of parents were anxiously waiting, all looking intently at Su Yuntao.
As the Village Chief, Wang Ping stepped forward and respectfully, yet expectantly, asked:
"Spirit Master, how is the talent of the children in our village?"
Su Yuntao looked back, and after seeing Wang Li, he retracted his gaze and said with regret:
"There's a child whose talent is quite good, three levels of spirit power. He'll be able to cultivate in the future."
But before Wang Ping could rejoice, Su Yuntao continued:
"But unfortunately, his Spirit is also Blue Silver Grass. Even with spirit power, it's still just Blue Silver Grass. Such a Spirit cannot become a powerful Spirit Master!"
After speaking, Su Yuntao shook his head and quickly left; he still had to rush to the next village.
Wang Ping's face was very grim. This time was different from before; they finally had a talented child, but with a Blue Silver Grass Spirit, which gave them hope only to cruelly snatch it away.
Wang Ping sighed deeply. The probability of ordinary commoners like them producing a powerful Spirit was simply too low.
He called out weakly:
"Which child has spirit power?"
Hearing this, Wang Li stepped forward and said:
"Village Chief Grandpa, it's me."
Wang Ping looked at Wang Li, a little surprised:
"It's Little Li..."
Then, as if making a decision, he said:
"Little Li, tell Grandpa, do you want to become a Spirit Master?"
Wang Li's expression was firm. He nodded and said:
"I do!"
Wang Ping showed a relieved smile:
"Alright, I'll find a way to secure the shared work-study student quota for our nearby villages. Three months from now, I'll send you to Notting Junior Soul Master Academy in the city. Little Li, cultivate well there. If you can become a Spirit Master, our entire village will benefit."
In this World, Spirit Masters were adults, Spirit Masters were nobles. Once one became a Spirit Master, tax officials would no longer dare to trouble their village. If one became a powerful Spirit Master, their entire village would be directly exempt from taxes.
At this moment, Wang Li's eyes sparkled. Notting Junior Soul Master Academy—he really should get a meditation technique there, and learn cultural and Spirit knowledge. Otherwise, being illiterate and not recognizing basic Spirit Beasts... that wouldn't do!
