"Good! Excellent! I’ll have someone annihilate the Han Family right now. The mere Xuyang Han Family dared to abduct my daughter? They’re courting death! My dear daughter, don’t be sad anymore! The Han Family is finished!"

In an instant, Ji Yuanshi went from being the high and mighty, almost divine Sect Leader of the Primordial Daoist Cult to a doting father, his face filled with heartache as he spoke in a soft and gentle voice.

"Greetings, Spirit Saint!"

Shu Feng and the other two bowed to the Spirit Saint.

A Spirit Saint could not be disrespected. With the exception of the world’s Emperors and Prime Ministers, anyone who met a Spirit Saint had to bow without fail. This was a rule all Spiritualists on Blue Star had to obey. To do otherwise and be killed for it meant dying in vain.

Ji Yuanshi replied indifferently, "Mm."

Although Ji Yuanshi was an extremely doting father, he was also the Sect Leader of the Primordial Daoist Cult, one of the world’s Three Major Churches. He was a ruthless and decisive leader, clear in his rewards and punishments. Even experts at the Grandmaster and Spirit Venerable Realm could only lower their heads before him.

Although Shu Feng and the other two were quite outstanding, in Ji Yuanshi’s eyes, they were nothing more than insignificant figures.

Ji Bingyun said, "Dad, it was Shu Feng who saved me this time."

Ji Yuanshi retorted, "How can you say he saved you? With that treasure you carry, if those animals had dared to touch you, death would have been their only outcome."

Ji Bingyun pouted. "I don’t care. I say he saved me, and that’s that. Shu Feng is my friend, so you have to be nice to him."

A hint of resignation flickered in Ji Yuanshi’s eyes. His gaze swept over Shu Feng as he said indifferently, "Shu Feng. You saved my daughter, so you’ve earned a reward. Tell me, what do you desire?"

"Lord Sect Leader, I don’t want anything. I only helped Bingyun because I was there. This is evidence of the transaction between the Han Family and the Void Demon Association. I hope it’s useful to you."

Shu Feng handed a USB drive to Ji Yuanshi. It contained video evidence of the transaction between the Han Family and the Void Demon Association.

Ji Yuanshi took the USB drive, glanced at Shu Feng, and then took a step forward. His figure blurred and he vanished along with Ji Bingyun.

After Ji Yuanshi left, Shu Feng and his friends met up with Luo Feng, Zhao Zixing, Qi Ning, and the others. They had dinner and sang karaoke before everyone went their separate ways.

「Inside the Base Space.」

’Which Skill should I choose?’

Shu Feng sat cross-legged inside the Energy Evolution Tower, browsing through the various Skill Seeds.

’Since I’m going to participate in the Spiritual Martial Arts tournament, I need a Skill with powerful offensive capabilities. The only one that can dramatically improve my Spiritual Martial Arts is Superior Extraordinary Swordsmanship!’

With a thought, Shu Feng made his choice. Pipes emerged one by one, spraying out a mysterious slime that enveloped him, forming a cocoon.

An immense amount of Source Power flowed through the pipes and into Shu Feng’s body, nourishing him.

A mysterious Skill Seed traveled through one of the pipes and sank into the spot between Shu Feng’s eyebrows, forming a Sword Curse Seal.

A tremendous amount of Source Energy poured into the mysterious Sword Curse Seal, frantically strengthening it and engraving it into Shu Feng’s bloodline.

「Seven days later.」

CRACK!

With a crisp cracking sound, Shu Feng stepped out of the cocoon. With a thought, countless lines of data appeared before him.

"Superior Extraordinary Swordsmanship. Skill Description: Master powerful Swordsmanship and possess an extraordinary talent for its cultivation. Able to learn any Swordsmanship technique with ease."

Shu Feng muttered, "It cost 2,000 Source Energy just to implant this one Superior Extraordinary Swordsmanship Skill Seed. What a shame. Why can’t I be a Summoner and a Sword Hero at the same time?"

Awakening as a Hero Summoner from the Andoras World had only cost Shu Feng 500 Source Energy, and for that, he had gained two top-tier Summoner Skills. Spending 2,000 Source Energy now just to implant a single Superior Extraordinary Swordsmanship Skill Seed was a painful expense.

"Let’s see just how strong this Superior Extraordinary Swordsmanship really is!"

Shu Feng went directly to the Central Analyzer, uploaded the ’Gale Sword Technique 2.0’ into his mind, and began to practice.

Shu Feng’s Swordsmanship was a bit clumsy at first, but after just one run-through of the technique, it already looked decent. The second time he performed the Gale Sword Technique, he was already incredibly proficient, as if he had practiced it diligently for two or three years.

By his third repetition, the Long Sword in Shu Feng’s hand moved like a raging gale. The light from the blade was dazzling and ferocious, and the sword moved as naturally as an extension of his own arm.

’Incredible. My Gale Sword Technique already has the proficiency of someone who’s practiced for over ten years! The Superior Extraordinary Swordsmanship Skill truly lives up to its name.’

Shu Feng retracted his sword, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, his heart filled with satisfaction. His physique surpassed that of an ordinary Spirit Sect Realm expert, and his Spiritual Power was incredibly profound. If he could master a Superior Swordsmanship technique, he could absolutely contend for the championship title in the national high school Spiritual Martial Arts tournament.

’However, increasing my cultivation level is what truly matters!’

Shu Feng returned to the Energy Evolution Tower, and pipes once again connected to his body. As he began to circulate the Sun and Moon Scripture, streams of Spiritual Power, drawn from Middle-grade Spirit Stones, gushed out from the pipes and flowed endlessly into his body.

As Shu Feng continued his arduous cultivation, the Foggy Spiritual Power within his body began to transform, bit by bit, into Liquid Spiritual Power.

The hallmark of a Spirit Master Realm expert is Foggy Spiritual Power, while the hallmark of a Great Spirit Master Level expert is Liquid Spiritual Power. Only an expert like Shu Feng, who had cultivated every realm to its Extreme Realm, could condense strands of Liquid Spiritual Power while still in the Spirit Master Realm.

「One month later.」

"I’ve reached the limit!"

Inside the Base Space, Shu Feng opened his eyes, and lines of information immediately appeared before him.

"Power: 168 (+10), Agility: 151 (+10), Defense: 255 (+10), Constitution: 220 (+10), Intelligence: 225 (+10), Spirit: 250 (+10), Magic Power: 1,000,000 (+200,000), Fighting Spirit: 0, Badge Power: 1,320,000."

"Charm: 165 (+10), Spiritual Power: 1,000,000 (+200,000), Soul Power: 607 (+20)."

Shu Feng looked at his list of Skills, lost in thought. ’The Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool... I have to find a way to get in there again. That’s the only way all my Skills can evolve when I advance to the Great Spirit Master rank.’

Once a Skill Seed enters the body, as long as a Spiritualist has sufficient resources, their skills can undergo a major evolution whenever they advance to a new Great Realm.

This was precisely why the reward of being able to use the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool was so precious.

After finishing his cultivation, Shu Feng headed to Fang Yao’s home to clean. The second half of his Sun and Moon Scripture depended on this great beauty, who was gorgeous on the outside but a complete slob on the inside.

"Oh? You’ve actually reached the peak of the Spirit Master realm already!"

The moment Fang Yao saw Shu Feng, she let out a soft sound of surprise. Her beautiful eyes lit up, and a look of amazement flashed in them as she sized him up carefully.

Fang Yao said, "A piece of trash who awakened with a Spiritual Power Value of 1 actually managed to cultivate from a Spirit Warrior to the peak of the Spirit Master realm within a year. I didn’t quite believe the rumors that you awakened a Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability, but it seems they were true."
