Chapter 1 The Awakening of the Martial Spirit, a Preliminary Exploration of the Fungal Martial Spirit
"Fluorescent mushroom, level 5 soul power."
"Kids, do you want to join our Spirit Hall?"
"I'm sorry, Master Soul Master, I don't want to leave home."
"Oh! Forget it then."
Ming Yongqiu felt a little regretful.
Innate fifth-level soul power is a very rare talent. There is a chance of cultivating to become a Soul King. It is even more rare for a food-type soul master to have this talent. It is very worthy of being admitted to the Spirit Hall.
But it is human nature for children not to want to leave their parents. Forcing them to take someone in will not bring any good results. It is likely to make the children resentful, which will be even more harmful when they grow up.
Wuhundian is a serious organization and cannot do such things as robbing children.
——This child must go to school anyway. The only junior soul master academy nearby is Notting City Soul Master Academy. It won’t be too late to recruit this child under the name of Wuhun Palace after he graduates. The next village is Holy Soul Village, and I don’t know if I can find another good seedling.
Ming Yongqiu packed up his awakening props, said goodbye to the village chief, and walked towards the Holy Soul Village.
The soul master left, and the village chief came to Chi Ping.
"Xiaoping, you have the talent to become a soul master. Our village happens to have a place for a work-study student at Notting College. Do you want to go?"
Chi Ping nodded and showed a sincere smile: "Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief. I will study hard to become a soul master and will never let down the village's help. I will definitely repay the village when I graduate!"
"Good boy."
The village chief stroked his beard and smiled happily. I couldn't help but praise my decision to take in this child five years ago.
"Go home. Grandpa will take you to Notting City in two days."
…
Chi Ping, the time traveler, soul travels through, no plug-ins.
Five years ago, he traveled to the body of a one-year-old abandoned baby outside Xiaoyun Village in Fasnuo Province, southwest of the Tiandou Empire on the Douluo Continent. He was adopted by the village chief Chi Tianping who went to the city to buy spring plowing seeds.
He is six years old this year and has awakened the Wuhun fluorescent mushroom.
Two days ago, he was sent to Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy by the village chief, where he studied as a work-study student.
…
——How to develop mushroom martial arts? According to past life theory, mushrooms are fungi and have two forms, mycelium and fruiting body. Mycelium includes spores and mononuclear hyphae developed from spores, while fruiting bodies are various fungi found in nature, some are edible, and some are toxic and cannot be eaten.
——First of all, we need to find out whether the mushroom spirit only has fruiting bodies, or whether it includes all forms of mushrooms. If it only includes fruiting bodies, then just be a food system logistics person. If it's the latter, then the road ahead will be much wider. True King or Fungus, Mushroom King or Demon King, it all depends on this step.
In the seventh dormitory exclusively for work-study students, Chi Ping was sitting on his bed, holding a fat, white, very cute fluorescent mushroom in his hand, controlling his soul power to accelerate its evolution.
Fluorescent mushrooms are similar to mushrooms. Because they have a slight affinity for light elements, they can absorb the light of the stars and the moon and emit fluorescence at night. They are a very common delicious food.
In his two lifetimes, Chi Ping had a stronger spiritual will than ordinary people. After learning the method of soul power meditation in the academy, he soon learned the secret of controlling soul power without any teacher.
Martial spirit and soul power are closely related, and using soul power can change the state of the martial spirit. Weapon soul masters use soul power to strengthen their martial souls, beast soul masters use soul power to amplify their martial souls when possessed by them, and plant-based soul masters control the growth of their martial souls. They all use soul power to change the state of their martial souls. This should be an instinct, like clenching a fist to exert force.
However, this change is very slow.
It took Chi Ping half an hour to open the closed umbrella cover of the fluorescent mushroom. He didn't even know whether this was the natural development of fluorescent mushrooms or the result of the influence of soul power.
——No wonder soul masters have to rely on soul skills to fight. It is too slow to control soul power by yourself. In the original book, Tang San's first soul skill, Entanglement, is to control the rapid growth of Bluesilver Grass and wrap it around the enemy like a rope. But judging from the speed at which I control the growth of fluorescent mushrooms, it is estimated that within a few hours, it will not be possible at all. The bluesilver grass less than ten centimeters high forms a noose that can trap the enemy's movements!
Chi Ping had a hint of enlightenment in his heart.
——Perhaps it will be different at high realms, but at low realms soul masters may only be able to control martial souls with soul skills! Continuing to input soul power into Wuhun, Chi Ping concentrated on it, not wanting to let go of any changes in Wuhun.
When you focus, time seems to stretch.
I don’t know how long it took, but a piece of white mist-like substance fell from under the mushroom canopy.
——This is a spore!
Chi Ping cheered in his heart.
--Very good! It’s a fungus, not an edible mushroom!
"Xiao Pingzi, what are you doing, so successful?"
A head came close to Chi Ping and curiously looked at the white mushroom in Chi Ping's hand.
Chi Ping pushed the round head away and wondered: "Boss Wang, if you don't go meditate to break through the soul master, why are you looking at me?"
Boss Wang, whose full name is Wang Wen, is the eldest son of Qishe work-study students, Wuhunlang, who has just entered the sixth grade and has a ninth-level soul power.
Work-study students must have been born in poverty. They were an outlier in the Soul Master Academy where families were generally well-off. They were also weak outliers. They were more likely to be bullied in the feudal era with low moral standards.
If the weak want not to be bullied, they must stick together for warmth.
This is how Qishe's boss system was born. The boss will be respected by all the work-study students and can direct the work-study students to a certain extent without having to participate in labor. The daily food expenses are shared equally by all the work-study students. Accordingly, the boss must have the strongest force and must stand up to support the bullied work-study students when others bully them.
When every working-study student enters school, the boss will lead everyone to give them a thumbs up, for better management and to prevent new working-study students from provoking people they can't afford to offend because of their youthfulness and arrogance.
Chi Ping was almost beaten by Wang Wen when he joined Qishe two days ago. It was only because he showed his identity as a food soul master that he was able to avoid this humiliation.
Logistics support personnel do not participate in the fight for superiority. This is everyone's default unspoken rule.
Even without this unspoken rule, Chi Ping planned to kneel directly.
Chi Ping doesn't have a golden finger. If he faces a twelve-year-old child, isn't that asking for a beating?
“Isn’t this because I care about you?”
Wang Wen was very satisfied with Chi Ping's attitude, especially the sentence about breaking through to the soul master that made him elated. He was now at level nine, and in a few months he would be able to break through to level ten, obtain a soul ring, and become a soul master!
"If you have any questions about meditation, tell the boss. I will tell you everything you know!"
Wang Wen values Chi Ping very much, not only because of Chi Ping's sweet mouth, but also because of his talent and food-based martial arts.
Food-type soul masters will choose restorative soul skills as their first soul ring. Whether it is restoring soul power or treating injuries, it is of great significance to the work-study students in improving their situation. It can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of work-study students.
In particular, Chi Ping's innate soul power has reached level five. It is estimated that he will become a soul master in less than two years and can become a new support for the work-study students after he graduates.
Wang Wen is responsible for all the work-study students, so he naturally takes good care of Chi Pingduo.
Wang Wen changed the topic to cultivation, and Chi Ping followed suit.
"Boss, can you tell me how to speed up the soul power here?"
Chi Ping pointed to the position of his right shoulder near the collarbone.
The Wuhun cultivation method taught by Notting Academy may be simple and not profound, but after all, it is a complete skill, including meditation, absorption, movement, etc. A complete set of methods.
Being able to get started in two days shows that Chi Ping is already extremely talented, but he still lacks proficiency and understanding of some details.
"Here, you can move your soul power a little to the right..."
Wang Wen has practiced for five more years than Chi Ping. With Wang Wen's experience, many of Chi Ping's doubts can be easily solved.
