After using the points, Naoto repeated and punched the rock, but this time it left a small imprint on it, but larger than before
"In the novel, the main character at this age had already attained strength that rivaled even adults, but I don't think I am at the same level. I will have to focus on reaching the tenth level now."
While Naoto was thinking deeply and trying to recall the events, he felt a finger tap on his neck, making him shiver. He turned around to find Yuan Ling behind him.
"You've got your martial spirit, haven't you?"
Yuan Ling smiled as she watched Naoto who was deep in thought
"Don't you have anything better to do?"
"Not quite, so how strong is your soul power?"
"Level Six"
"Really?! I'm on level seven!"
Naoto was dumbfounded the moment he heard this. This girl who had been bothering him for so long was actually on a higher level than him.
"then you have to be taken to the Spirit Hall, why did you come?"
"Well, I refused to go."
"Then good luck. Is that what you want to hear?"
Naoto started walking back, while Yuan Ling caught up with him
"Why are you so mean?"
Naoto returned home with Yuan Ling following him to receive a small celebration from his family
"what is all of this?"
Naoto asked as he looked at the table full of food
"Well, we thought of celebrating since our son is going to be a Spirit Master, and I see you brought Yuan Ling with you."
The mother said as she looked at the two little ones
"Hello, auntie"
Yuan Ling greeted the mother with a bright smile
"Hello, come in now, everything is ready."
The three of them entered the house together, sat at the table with the father, and began to eat
-------
After they finished, Naoto got up and started carrying the empty and dirty dishes
"Mother, let me clean the dishes."
"Okay, while you clean the dishes, I'll talk to Yuan Ling about something."
When Naoto left the table, the mother sat down close to Yuan Ling and they started talking
"Can I ask about your relationship with Benny?"
The mother started asking an embarrassing and difficult question to answer, Yuan Ling's face turned slightly red
"we are just friends"
Yuan Ling replied with a shy smile
"can I ask you a favor"
The mother took a deep breath before speaking
"Of course, what is it?"
Yuan Ling asked curiously
"I want you to take care of my son."
The mother smiled faintly as Yuan Ling met her with confusion
"What do you mean"
"Young Er has always been smart compared to others his age, he has always been well-behaved and never caused any trouble, but I am worried about him, so I ask you since you are the only friend he has made."
Yuan Ling looked at the mother's eyes, which meant that the mother's words had reached her
"Well no problem"
Yuan Ling smiled to reassure the mother
Mother took Yuan Ling's hands gently
"Thank you"
At this time, Naoto had returned from the kitchen and noticed a change in the atmosphere between his mother and Yuan Ling
"So mom, how about school?"
Naoto asked to change the surrounding atmosphere
"Study will start in three months."
The mother replied with a smile as she spoke
"Good, I better go and practice."
"I will bring Yuan Ling with you first."
"Can't she go alone, it's not like she's a child."
"Just drop her off."
Naoto reluctantly went with Yuan Ling to take her to her father's carriage. Her father was a well-known merchant in the village, and he came to the village every day.
Along the way there was an awkward silence between them
They arrived at her father's carriage and Naoto stood on the side of the road. Yuan Ling thanked him for the ride and smiled at him gratefully.
"Zhang Yong, let's meet three months from now."
Yuan Ling spoke before she left
"If this is a promise"
Naoto smiled in return and bid farewell to Yuan Ling before returning. He raised his head and looked at the orange sky above him from the setting sun.
"A lot happened today"
Naoto returned home, entered his room, and fell into a deep sleep to get some rest.
He woke up early in the morning, headed to his usual area, and brought out his fighting spirit
It was in the shape of a small tree, and it was not special or different. After observing it, he moved on and began his experiments. It radiated a green light every time he injected spirit energy into it. Flowers and plants were thriving in the area where Naoto was standing. In addition to consuming vitality, it was consuming spirit energy, including... Naoto's spirit energy was relatively weak, so he only lasted for less than a minute
"I will not be able to develop my soul. Soul development depends on factors, such as natural treasures and bloodline, but I have neither."
Naoto took out the Mysterious Water Pill from the storeroom, swallowed it, sat down, and began to meditate as he felt the energy from the pill pass through his body and through the meridian, cleaning it.
After an hour of contemplation, Naoto opened his eyes and a foul odor entered his nose. When he looked at his body, it was covered with a black substance similar to mucus. These were the impurities of his body. The mysterious water pill washed the meridian and removed the impurities from the body that obstructed the path of spiritual energy. Not only that, but it also increased strength. One level of innate spirituality made Naoto break through to the seventh level
His current physical strength was enough to deal with an ordinary adult man, compared to his previous life his development this time was faster.
Spiritual energy slowly began to circulate in his body, and now that his cultivation efficiency had increased, reaching the tenth level was his goal. He needed to become stronger so that he could obtain a soul ring on his own since the grandmaster who was the teacher of the main character would take the hero of the story since he would be born with power. He has an innate full soul and a dual fighting spirit, but Naoto, on the other hand, was born with average spiritual power and a mutant soul, so he has to work hard, and he cannot take any teacher in the academy as his teacher because that would expose his secrets. Studying in the academy is necessary, even if a person has strength, he is without a mind. It is just self-destruction. Just think, if he went hunting monsters and accidentally met a thousand-year spirit monster who was equal to a fortieth-rank spirit expert, he would be doomed to perdition, so he would need sufficient knowledge about this world, since most of the information in the original novel is superficial, and because of the large number of chapters. He forgot most of the events except basic information.
--------
Naoto had made a plan in mind to make the best use of his time
In the first month, Naoto had devoted his effort to physical exercise without spirit power, so his goal was to increase his raw strength, and since he had a healing-type spirit, he did not have to worry about injuries.
His basic training was punching, kicking, and all the things that would benefit him in fighting, and his target was trees. He punched and kicked until blood dripped from his skin, then he treated it and it kept turning like a spinning wheel. The characteristic of this training was to strengthen the skin. It is not possible to make the skin impenetrable without using the energy of the spirit, but making it Strong in addition to the strength of the spirit would be a powerful combination. It was also training to get used to his fighting spirit, which made him kill two birds with one stone. But after training for more than half a month, the feeling of increased strength and endurance stopped, which means that the skin had reached its limits, and the skin was already rough around the area. Naoto's limbs were damaged, so he decided to begin training to increase agility. He went to a slightly large rock and tied it to his body and began running. At first the rock did not budge, but over time the rock began to budge slightly and began to move slowly as he pulled with all his effort. His endurance points were slowly increasing. Naoto pulled the rock while feeling... With something dripping in his jaws
Blood was seeping from his gums, which had come down from his grinding his teeth
The rock seemed as if it would not move. In fact, the rock had always been present in the place where he was training. However, he never tried to drag it. It was larger than his small body, but it was worth trying. He had already exceeded his physical limits. He let go of the rock and used his fighting spirit to treat his fatigue.
(Why don't you activate the spirit energy and end the matter)
"What is the use of physical training if I have to use spirit energy every time?"
After resting for a while, he grabbed the rope again and started pulling. The second time was stronger than the first, then the third, the fourth, and the next, and the next, until Naoto completed the hundred attempts, but the rock did not move even when the time came for sunset. Naoto returned to his home, and when he came the next day, he saw that training was this way. It would not benefit him now, so he decided to change training and return to it later
Then open its status window

"I'm starting to collect a lot of points. I'm going to try my luck at gambling."
Naoto entered the gambling window and paid a thousand points
The wheel began to spin, and stopped on a random skill. Naoto was waiting for it
(Congratulations to the host I got a low skill:
Wind steps
)
(The host wants to learn it for 800 points)
"Yes"
(Congratulations to the host. He learned the skill. The host earned five agility points)
From what Naoto thought from the name of the skill, it was a movement type, and would most likely be useful for either escaping or fighting
