Chapter 17: The Pain of Losing 100 Million
At that moment, the blood in Yu Chen's body suddenly boiled, as if it possessed an inviolable will.
Then Yu Chen's consciousness arrived at the Sea of Spirit, where he saw the soul spirit he had purchased for one million Federal Credits. Of course, this was the only time Yu Chen had seen his soul spirit, and then a very surprising scene unfolded.
The newly absorbed soul seemed to be shrouded in something black, and then the soul simply vanished.
"What, what?! Where is my soul?!" Yu Chen was filled with grief and indignation. He knelt in the Sea of Spirit, on the verge of tears. This was 100 million! 100 million!
Looking around, Yu Chen couldn't find any trace of the spirit. His consciousness returned to his body, and after carefully sensing his body, Yu Chen discovered that his soul power had reached level 13, as if he had directly devoured the spirit and transformed it into pure soul power.
After calming down, Yu Chen had a sudden realization, and some information about absorbing the soul ring appeared in his mind.
Firstly, although the soul that was devoured was devoured, it still retained the ability to grant soul rings, but it did not have any soul skills.
The soul skill in the soul ring will allow Yu Chen to use the existing words of power. Now, Yu Chen's Time Zero has become his first soul skill, and its effect has been significantly enhanced. The duration has doubled, and people can be brought into the field of Time Zero.
Yu Chen had some guesses about this situation. It was mainly because the soul spirit and the soul master were too close, almost like one entity, and the dragon blood from Nidhogg in his body was too domineering, which made him recognize the soul spirit as a traitor who had stolen power, and thus devoured it.
After all, Nidhogg was a tyrant who ruled the world with great power. How could he allow a traitor who usurped power to exist? The same was true for Yu Chen, who inherited blood similar to Nidhogg's.
Feeling a significant improvement in his physical body and soul power, Yu Chen, who should have been happy, looked somewhat downcast. However, he always had a good attitude; after all, he had already gained a cheat code, so why care about so much?
Yu Chen quickly calmed down and began to carefully sense the changes in himself. Not to mention the changes in his body, Yu Chen felt that his spiritual power had reached around ninety points during the process of advancing to the Soul Master level.
As he thought about it, Yu Chen stood up from the ground and then left the cultivation room.
"Young master, you've successfully advanced to Soul Master? So fast?"
As expected of someone from a prominent family!
As Yu Chen walked out of the cultivation room, the spirit master watching outside asked in surprise.
"Yes, Spirit Master, fusing with a soul spirit didn't seem difficult, and I successfully fused it in no time."
Looking at the spirit medium, Yu Chen answered, somewhat hesitant, wondering whether he should reveal that he had no soul spirit.
"That's right. Your spiritual power is already about three times that of other Soul Masters of the same level. Although you're fusing with a hundred-year-old Soul Spirit, your Martial Soul is also of a higher level than that Soul Spirit, so it's normal that the fusion went so smoothly."
"Now that you have advanced to the Soul Master level, let's take a Soul Power test. If you pass the test, your advancement to Soul Master will be recorded in the Sun Moon Federation's archives, and you will be able to receive a reward of one thousand Federation Coins from the Federation every month in the future."
After hearing Yu Chen's words, the spirit master seemed to realize something and nodded as if he understood. Then he led Yu Chen out of the cultivation room.
"Um, Spirit Master, there seems to be a problem with the soul I fused with. No, that's not right. Something seems to have gone wrong when I fused with the soul."
"The soul fusion was successful, but I only have one soul ring and one soul skill. I can't summon the soul spirit; it's as if the soul spirit doesn't exist at all."
In the end, Yu Chen made up his mind to reveal that he had no soul, since it was something that couldn't be hidden and there was nothing to hide.
"What? What? There's a problem with the fusion of souls?!" Upon hearing Yu Chen's words, the spirit master immediately asked Yu Chen to show his soul ring to verify its authenticity.
When he confirmed that Yu Chen's words were indeed true, the Spirit Master was completely unsettled, his expression becoming somewhat distorted. It's no wonder he was like this, since problems rarely occur during soul fusion, and when they do, the consequences are extremely severe. Dismissal is the least of his worries; the worst he could face is federal prison.
"Wait here for a moment. This matter is of great importance, and I must report it to my superiors personally," the spirit medium instructed Yu Chen before hurriedly leaving.
After some time, two figures rushed towards Yu Chen. One was the original spirit master, and the other was an old man who, judging from his attire, was probably the person in charge of this place.
"Child, first release your martial spirit and spirit rings, let me see if you really don't have a soul spirit." The old man spoke to Yu Chen calmly and kindly.
Yu Chen did as instructed, releasing his martial spirit and spirit ring once again.
Then Yu Chen felt a spiritual gaze sweeping over him, and the feeling of being seen through made him feel very uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, child, this matter is very important, and I must personally verify its authenticity. Please cooperate with us for an examination; we need to check your current condition."
The old man first apologized to Yu Chen, then asked for a check-up.
"Okay, but my sister is still waiting for me outside. Can I talk to her first?" Yu Chen had no reason to refuse the inspection, but he was worried that Na'er outside would be getting impatient.
"Of course, I will also send someone to take care of your sister first." The old man readily agreed.
Yu Chen strode out, briefly explained the reason to Na'er, and then went to the old man's side again.
"Grandpa, you can begin."
"Okay, come with me." The old man led Yu Chen to another room, which had more and more advanced equipment.
In this room, Yu Chen began a series of checks.
"Vital signs: normal. Mental state: normal. Martial spirit: intact..."
Each test showed that Yu Chen's body was normal. As the tests all came back normal, the spirit medium who had recommended the soul spirit to Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The normal test results meant that the accident was not his fault and had nothing to do with him.
"Child, your martial spirit is your eyes, right?" the old man said to Yu Chen with a smile.
"That's right."
"Then it's not surprising. The supernatural ghost eye you absorbed is very compatible with your martial soul and has been completely absorbed by you. If I'm not mistaken, your soul power should have increased a lot, and the ability of the soul spirit to grant the soul ring should not have disappeared." The old man said with great certainty.
"I see!" Yu Chen said with a look of sudden realization.
With the Spirit Pagoda's endorsement, I won't be considered an anomaly anymore even without a soul spirit. I shouldn't encounter any dim-witted Soul Douluos or Title Douluos who mistake me for a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. At this moment, Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since there are no problems, I will now issue you a certificate and make a record in case you encounter any trouble in the future."
"OK."
Yu Chen's registration was completed quickly. Half an hour later, holding his Soul Master certificate, Yu Chen and Na'er left the Spirit Pagoda and headed home.
