Su Tao first led Fang Yang to a room. The room, unlike the ancient style outside, was filled with modern colors, with many instruments placed within.
He motioned for Fang Yang to sit on a metal chair and said, "However, before choosing a Soul Spirit, we need to test your mental force!"
Afterward, Su Tao began to explain the knowledge of Soul Spirits and mental force to Fang Yang!
A long, long time ago, in the era without Soul Spirits, there was no classification for mental force.
Spirit Masters obtained spirit rings by hunting Spirit Beasts, and what determined the upper limit of the spirit ring's age that a Spirit Master could fuse with was the Spirit Master's physical quality!
But with the emergence of Soul Spirits, everything changed.
Our ancestors gradually realized that fusing a Soul Spirit required stronger mental force than fusing a spirit ring.
It was through their continuous research and summarization that the classification of mental force came into being. It wasn't until the last two thousand years that the Realms were fully established.
mental force is divided into six Realms: Ling Yuan Realm, Ling Tong Realm, Ling Hai Realm, Ling Yuan Realm, Ling Domain Realm, and the legendary Divine Yuan Realm.
Ling Yuan Realm, with mental force values between 0 and 100 points. This is the mental force level of ordinary people, the initial state when a Spirit Master first Awakens.
This Realm allows for the Fusion of ten-year to hundred-year Soul Spirits.
Ling Tong Realm, 101 to 500 points. At this point, mental force begins to condense, and Spirit Masters can already simply release their mental force to perceive their surroundings.
Above the Ling Tong Realm is the Ling Hai Realm.
501 to 5000 points. Vast mental force like a boundless ocean is the foundation for becoming a strong practitioner. Reaching this Realm allows for the Fusion of powerful black-grade Soul Spirits.
Above the Ling Hai Realm is the Ling Yuan Realm.
5001 to 20000 points. The mental force of strong practitioners at this Realm can already influence the material World within a small range, and it is also the entry threshold for a Titled Douluo, the minimum requirement for fusing a legendary hundred-thousand-year Soul Spirit.
As for the higher Ling Domain Realm, 20001-50000 points, and the legendary Divine Yuan Realm, 50001 points and above...
Su Tao smiled slightly, "That is already a Domain close to the gods. Currently, only a handful of Spirit Masters on the entire continent can reach this Realm."
As he spoke, he pressed several buttons on the workbench, and a metal helmet-like instrument slowly descended from the ceiling and was placed on Fang Yang's head.
"Don't be nervous, stay relaxed. During the test, you might feel a slight dizziness in your head; this is normal. Just stay relaxed," Su Tao instructed.
Fang Yang nodded, "Okay, I understand."
The testing instrument started, a faint hum sounded, and soft white light began to glow around the helmet.
Su Tao looked at a Soul Guidance screen nearby, and data began to flicker on the screen.
"30, 50, 80... 101."
After breaking the 100 mark, the value steadily stopped at 101.
The room fell into an eerie silence, and a hint of surprise appeared in Na'er's eyes, who was standing nearby.
She murmured, "As expected of big brother, he truly is extraordinary..."
Looking at Fang Yang's test results, Su Tao's expression shifted from surprise to disbelief, finally settling into a complex shock.
"Ling Tong Realm... 101 points? How is this possible? Is the machine faulty?"
Su Tao knew better than anyone what it meant for a Spirit Master to reach the Ling Tong Realm at six years old.
If such Aptitude were reported to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's higher-ups, he, Su Tao, would surely be promoted and receive a raise, with a brilliant future ahead.
Then, just in case, Su Tao suppressed the shock in his heart, walked over to Fang Yang, and said, "Fang Yang, wait a moment. The mental force testing instrument might have a slight malfunction; your mental force data is a bit abnormal. Don't worry, I'll test you again."
Su Tao restarted the testing instrument to test Fang Yang again, and Fang Yang's mental force was still the same as before, fixed at 101 points in the Ling Tong Realm. This proved that there was no problem with the instrument.
The second test began, and Fang Yang's mental force was still the same as before, fixed at 101 points in the Ling Tong Realm. This proved that there was no problem with the instrument.
This time, Su Tao's voice suddenly deepened, "It really is 101 points in the Ling Tong Realm. Is this a monster? No, this is a Prodigy!"
For ordinary Spirit Masters, their average mental force during their first test is only around thirty points.
Fang Yang's mental force almost reached...
It can be said that in terms of fusing Soul Spirits, Fang Yang has a huge advantage.
"Fang Yang, if you hadn't joined the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, I would have planned to kill you myself!"
If a Prodigy like you doesn't serve the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, and once you fall into Shrek, the Tang Sect, or other forces and grow up, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
A hint of killing intent flashed in Na'er's eyes. If Su Tao were to attack her big brother Fang Yang, then she would...
After hearing this, Fang Yang also had a plan in mind.
"Knowing that you are outmatched, yet still fighting to the death, that is the foolishness called 'passion.' Even if you win, it's merely a favor of fate."
Su Tao's face regained its smile as he said, "However, you are a part of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, so I won't attack you."
What I told you today is to tell you to remember that a living Genius is the true Genius.
Fang Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Thank you, Uncle Tao."
A profound look flashed in Su Tao's eyes as he continued, "I will apply to the sub-Tower Master to secure a thousand-year Soul Spirit for you. By then, you will enter the eyes of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's higher-ups..."
Su Tao did not finish the rest of his words before leaving. Some things don't need to be said too clearly, and of course, if Fang Yang doesn't grasp the meaning...
Na'er instantly reverted to her innocent and playful demeanor, smiling, "Big brother, you're amazing."
Her face was filled with adoration, as if the killing intent from that moment had never existed.
In fact, Fang Yang knew clearly that as a Transmigrator, his mental force was already far superior to his peers.
Coupled with Cultivating the Burning Art and having devoured a strange flame...
Just then, footsteps sounded from the room.
Leading the way was a beaming Su Tao, and behind him, an old man with a youthful complexion and white hair slowly approached.
Although the old man had a benevolent expression, the spirit power fluctuations emanating from his body made people dare not underestimate him.
Su Tao respectfully stepped aside, introducing, "Fang Yang, this is Tower Master Liu Yang of our Aolai City Spirit Transfer Tower."
Fang Yang held Na'er's small hand tightly, bowed slightly, and saluted, "Fang Yang, greetings, Tower Master."
Su Tao didn't say much more, but stepped aside and stood respectfully beside the old man, further confirming his high status.
"You must be Fang Yang, indeed a good child."
The old man looked at Fang Yang and Na'er, sizing them up, and smiled kindly.
"I heard your mental force reached 101 points in the Ling Tong Realm. Could you show me your Spirit, Grandpa?"
"Okay." Fang Yang smiled and released his strange flame Spirit.
A deep yellow flame leaped out from his palm.
This cluster of strange flame appeared to burn calmly, yet it emitted a suffocating pressure.
The surrounding air slightly distorted under the high temperature, and even the ground began to feel warm.
"This..."
The old man's pupils suddenly contracted. With his Cultivation as a Titled Douluo, he actually felt a threat from a child who had not yet obtained a spirit ring!
The temperature of that flame, even he could be affected by it...
