-- Chapter 81 ---
Han Yuan patiently tinkered with his lightning self-created skills, which he had developed and trained, and compiled them into one group, making a new complex system with the Purple Silver Lightning Mode and Chidori as the core.
Although it's not difficult to integrate them all into one system, it still took Han Yuan more than two hours to do so. He sighed and felt the purple qi was no longer in the air, though the feedback from the photosynthesis spirit skill was still there.
At this rate, it's not impossible to achieve the Limitless Project.
"Phew~! This thing took longer than I expected, but what name should I use for this new system of lightning self-created skills series now?"
"The Way of Thunderer? Nah, too tacky."
"What about the God of Storm Manual? I did use Thunder God and Indra on some self-created skills, though this one is too flashy."
"Chaotic Five Elemental Lightning Divine Destruction Art? It's good but too wordy."
"Tch, this is harder than fusing the self-created skills into one." Han Yuan pouted and observed the land below from his cliff, hearing the sound of a breeze that sounded like a calming sound. The air vibrated and made this masterpiece.
Engaged in this calming sound of nature with an alarming undertone, Han Yuan couldn't help but smile and say, "The Song of Thunderclap! Hmm, that sounds good enough."
"I've decided to call it the Song of Thunderclap for now. I might change it again when I replicate White Tiger's Lightning Degree and integrate the profound art into it."
Han Yuan slowly stood up and stretched his body. He returned to the hut near the waterfall, watching Han Yue place several hot breakfasts on the table.
"Wash your hands, then we can eat together." Han Yue smiled at him.
"Okay." Han Yuan smiled back.
After washing his hands, Han Yuan had a warm and hearty breakfast with Han Yue and visited the waterfall to see his students. Since he met with Dugu Bo, he became too busy with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and many other things.
Sure enough, eight individuals have been waiting for him there.
"Morning, everyone. It's been a while." Han Yuan greeted them casually.
"It seemed none of you neglected the training course I made."
"Yes!" 8x.
Du Buzi raised his hand and asked, "Headmaster, what have you been doing for the last month?"
"You went straight to the point, huh?" Han Yuan was speechless. "Well, nothing much. I've helped Senior Dugu's son and granddaughter and recruited some members into our academy."
"Oh..." The eight of them chorused simultaneously.
Han Yuan shook his head gently at them and picked some Immortal Pills suitable for his students, "Anyway, I also have little gifts for everyone here."
"I made these pills from heaven and earth treasures, and one is potent enough to fix and strengthen your martial soul's origin."
"I already handpicked the most suitable ones for you."
"However, don't get clouded by these gifts because you must train hard still to become a powerful spirit master. Do you understand?"
The eight students were excited as they replied, "Yes, Headmaster!"
Han Yuan handed the Immortal Pills one after another and instructed his students to consume them immediately.
The first one to consume Immortal Pill is surprisingly Zhang Lie because he was the oldest among the eights and the one with the least innate spirit range.
Although he didn't say it, his cultivation speed is the slowest. Yet, Zhang Lie is the most diligent in studying theories and how to apply them to his cultivation.
Then, Du Buzi and others followed Zhang Lie.
As they consumed the Immortal Pills, they felt immense energy bursting in their bodies and meditated on the spot.
An hour later, Han Yuan could already see interesting results.
Ye Shan's martial soul, Rock Sword, evolved into the Obsidian Rock Blade with a robust earth attribute and additional darkness. His innate spirit rank improved by five levels, and his spirit rank rose from level 22 to level 29, nearing the half-step Spirit Elder Realm.
Luo Li's martial soul, Wood Mouse, evolved into the Hermit Mouse with the power of nature and the ability to control terrains, though limited to the domain full of plants, preferably forest areas. Her innate spirit rank improved by five levels, and his spirit rank rose from level 14 to level 20, only needing a spirit ring to break through.
Du Buzi's martial soul, Spirit Body, didn't evolve. However, his Spirit Body underwent a second awakening of silver grade, which means Du Buzi can raise his cultivation base by one 'major' level. His innate spirit power is no different from the Full Innate Spirit now. Like Luo Li, his spirit rank rose to level 20, and he needed a spirit ring to break through.
Then, there is Zhang Lie. His martial soul, Scroll, fully transformed due to the essence of Immortal Pills, becoming a Mystic Brown Scroll that can draw things with infused spiritual power. His low innate spirit is probably around the same level as Du Buzi now, and the same goes for his spirit rank.
Hong Jia's martial soul, Bone Flute, evolved into the Jade Bone Flute with more refined spiritual attributes. She could even endure a 5,000-year-old spirit ring with spiritual power alone. Her innate spirit rank nearly reached the Full Innate Spirit, having the same spirit rank as Du Buzi and others.
Huo Xi's martial soul, Burning Hawk, evolved into the Golden Fire Hawk with a phoenix's bloodline. This martial soul possesses a golden flame that ignites other's spirit energy and mental power. His innate spirit rank improved to Full Innate Spirit, and his current spirit rank is level 30, meaning he was leading the group to the Spirit Elder Realm.
However, perhaps the one with the most change is Yu Bai. His Thunder Snail evolved into a Seadragon Snail due to the remaining essence of the Dragon-Blooded Catfish from his 1st spirit ring, which gained a miraculous effect with Immortal Pills. It's still a 'snail' martial soul, but its appearance has gained dragon-like quality with two horn-like antennas and a thicker shell. On top of that, Seadragon Snail is a dual attributed martial soul of water and lightning elements. His innate spirit rank reached Full Innate Spirit due to bloodline awakening and needed the 2nd spirit ring to break through.
Lastly, Sun Yi. Her "Meat Bun" martial soul didn't evolve, but the effect the bun brings upon consumption improved drastically and could even rival Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan from a support angle alone. Her current spirit rank is level 28.
"Hmm, not bad." Han Yuan nodded in satisfaction as the first batch of Dao Academy's students reached the standard of genius he had in mind.
Although he needed Immortal Pills to achieve this result, he would be a fool if he didn't use them. The better the cultivation speed of his students, the better their results will be in the Continental Spirit Tournament.
Of course, Han Yuan wouldn't expose his students so soon. There might be a Continental Spirit Tournament soon, but he planned to join in the next one.
Liu Erlong suddenly arrived, looking amused. "Xiao Yuan, we have a visitor!"
"It seems your guess is correct."
"Ning Fengzhi is really willing to bet and send his precious daughter to our academy. There is also a beautiful female elder from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, who would be responsible for teaching you the Heart Separation Control."
Han Yuan smiled, "Well, we can't let our guests wait too long."
"Let's greet them, shall we?"
