“Special ability?”
Li Xuan was stunned. He was very surprised that there was such a special ability. He could not help but ask, “Is it an Innate Skill?”
“No, it’s a special constitution. Our Soul Sect’s requirements for accepting disciples are extremely high. We must have a special constitution. Any constitution is fine.”
“For example, the Huo Kongque. Her constitution belongs to the Fire Attribute while my constitution belongs to the Spirit Attribute. They are both extremely rare constitutions.”
“After we were recruited into the Soul Sect, we needed to learn the special secret technique of the Soul Sect. We had to expend our own Soul Power to condense Soul Fruits of different attributes.”
“This process was very difficult. We had to learn the basic knowledge for several years, and we also had to strengthen our own strength and soul.”
“I also just learned how to condense Soul Fruits, but unfortunately, I can only condense twelve in a year.”
The cute girl explained softly and told him her situation.
“So it’s like this. Does Huo Kongque condense Fire Attribute Soul Fruits?” Li Xuan asked again.
“Yes, but she’s still young and hasn’t reached the level of condensing Soul Fruits,” the cute girl explained again.
“I see. Is there a lot of people in your sect who can condense Soul Fruits?” Li Xuan continued to ask, preparing to buy some soul fruits.
“Not much. We can only sell 50 Soul Fruits every month to buy all kinds of array formation knowledge and array formation resources to improve the foundation of the sect.”
“If you want, I have three more. I’ll give them to you when I condense Soul Fruits in the future,” the cute girl said again.
“Okay, I’ll teach you array formation knowledge later,” Li Xuan thought for a moment and said.
“Alright, um… Will I be able to eat red braised meat in the future? It’s very delicious,” the cute girl said like a little greedy cat.
“Sure, I’ll treat you to red braised meat later.” Li Xuan smiled, feeling that the other party was a little foodie.
“Thank you. Here, these three Soul Fruits are for you.” The cute girl happily took out the accumulated Soul Fruits and handed them to Li Xuan without any hesitation.
“Alright.”
Li Xuan raised his hand to receive them. In order to eat the braised pork, this girl did not even mention anything about array formations. She was really a glutton.
Of course, the Soul Fruits could be considered to have some benefits to him. It was better to have a slight increase in Soul Power than not having any.
At the moment, Transcendence Fruits could no longer increase his Soul Power when he ate them. The Soul Fruits had become the only external object that could improve his soul.
After decisively eating the three Soul Fruits, Li Xuan took out some of his notes on array formations and passed them to the cute girl as a reward.
“Li Xuan, it’s best not to eat too many Soul Fruits. Try to use increasing your Spiritual Power as the foundation. After all, it will take several years to reach Gold Rank.
“When your Spiritual Power reaches Half-Step Gold Rank. Your soul will definitely be stronger than your Spiritual Power. There’s no need to eat the Soul Fruit. When the time comes, you’ll still have to temper your soul.”
The female general reminded him gently, saying something that surprised Li Xuan.
“Okay, I got it.”
Li Xuan thought about the knowledge of the Gold Rank. Normally, it was extremely difficult to reach the Gold Rank and one had to live for many years before they could reach the Gold Rank.
After years of experience and battles, the soul would improve faster than the Spiritual Power. Therefore, when the Spiritual Power reached Half-Step Gold Rank, the soul had already reached its limit.
Only some geniuses would need to pay attention to the improvement of their soul if their Spiritual Power was improving fast enough.
Li Xuan’s situation was quite special. His fundamental strength was his soul. He could only display powerful strength by relying on his skills. Therefore, he only needed to improve his soul.
This also led Li Xuan to walk on a different path, which was completely different from other people’s cultivation methods.
“I’ll find an opportunity later to properly understand the Soul Sect that the cute girl mentioned. I’ll see what their secret technique is, and maybe I’ll be able to use it in the future.”
Li Xuan secretly decided to set another goal for himself.
After he made his decision, Li Xuan led everyone to continue setting up the array formation, and at the same time, he taught the cute girl the array formation knowledge.
Time passed bit by bit, and the small Beast Tide continued.
Commander Zhou and the others who were guarding the entrance of the Seven Stars Grand Array Formation had solemn expressions as they waited for the return of the great general.
However…
They had waited for so long, yet they still had not seen her. This caused their expressions to become even more solemn, and the atmosphere at the scene became even more oppressive and heavy.
“Commander Zhou, send someone to take a look at the great general’s Soul Lamp. I’m a little worried.” The one-armed old man looked at Commander Zhou.
“Alright, Deputy Commander Liu, go and take a look at the great general’s Soul Lamp personally. Immediately.” Commander Zhou gritted his teeth.
“Yes, Commander Zhou!”
Deputy Commander Liu was also very worried. He immediately left and headed to the place where the Soul Lamp was placed.
The remaining people continued to wait.
Qi Xingzi thought of something and could not help but say.
“If they can come back alive, let them leave their Soul Lamps behind, especially junior brother Li Xuan.”
“That’s true. If Li Xuan can come back alive, I won’t let him participate in any missions. I’ll definitely do my best to protect him and nurture him to study ancient array formations.”
“I have quite a few ancient books that are written in ancient languages. Later, I’ll personally teach him to study literature and learn how to create powerful ancient arrays,” said the one-armed old man.
“Old Man Hei is right. I agree with this suggestion.”
“I agree as well.”
…
The group was very worried about Li Xuan and the female general. They hoped that everyone would hurry back.
Some even mentioned that they would send an army to rush in and save Li Xuan and the others.
Luckily, Deputy Commander Liu ran over and reported that the female general’s Soul Lamp had not been extinguished. Everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.
Time passed once again. The small Beast Tide’s trend gradually weakened. Finally, the small Beast Tide ended.
Commander Zhou immediately led his army and charged into the abyss passage.
However, the moment they entered the passage, they could see the corpses of the Pollution Creatures.
Seeing so many corpses, everyone felt their scalps go numb.
Commander Zhou ordered the soldiers to clean up immediately. At the same time, he sent the elite soldiers led by Deputy Commander Liu to look for the female general and Li Xuan.
After a while, Deputy Commander Liu ran back from the ninth passage with a group of elite soldiers and reported the situation there.
“What did you say? The ninth passage is safe and sound? There are many strange array formations? I thought there are quite a few survivors?” Commander Zhou was surprised.
“Yes, this kind of array formation is very strange. It doesn’t need Spirit Stones to operate. I can’t understand it at all,” Deputy Commander Liu said blankly.
He had also learned about formations before. The level of formations could only reach the second stage, so he could be considered a formation master with some small achievements.
Even so, he still could not understand the ninth passage’s array formation. This made him somewhat doubt his life.
“No Spirit Stones? Bullsh*t. Spirit Stones are the energy source of array formations. How can formations operate without Spirit Stones? If you don’t understand array formations, then don’t talk nonsense,” the one-armed elder reprimanded.
“It’s true. Those array formations really don’t have Spirit Stones. I guarantee it,” Deputy Commander Liu Guaranteed.
“Let me tell you. Spirit Stones are the fundamental energy of an array formation. It’s just like how a person needs to drink water and eat food. Without Spirit Stones, an array formation can’t operate at all…”
As a Second Tier Array Formation Master, don’t you know this? How did you even get your Array Formation Badge? Did you use the backdoor?” The one-armed old man reprimanded.
