Upgrade cost: cannot be upgraded
……

The light blue text quietly appeared in Xin Lailai's sight. Xin Lailai slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the skill information at the edge of his sight, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.

——Soul engraving is an ability that all serious soul system beginners must learn. With this passive ability, his and Ling Yuzi's ability to construct spells and engrave runes will be greatly improved!
——It can be said that from now on they have truly stepped into the door of the soul system, and before that, the things they learned were just some inferior tricks!

"Tsk, tsk, sometimes I really envy you younger generations who were born in this era. You must know that this ability was regarded as a secret of the Soul Clock Tower, but now it has become a must-have for every entry into the soul system. Something to learn.”

Kargus's voice came from the side. Hearing the words, Xin Lailai's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say much.

As for the development of the soul system, he and Ling Yuzi naturally had a clear understanding of it from the "Soul Cultivation Manual" given by Shan Xi and the information of the academic sect.

Before the White Night Era, the ability of soul engraving had always existed as the core ability of the soul clock tower force, and for quite some time it had completely disappeared from the sight of all soul factions due to the destruction of the soul clock tower. It was not until Bai Ye, the strongest person in the star world, made the inheritance of the Soul Clock Tower public that it became known to the public again.

You must know that even in the paradise, there are only a handful of people who can reach S+ level in a certain series of qualifications, and there may only be a few people in each batch of contractors.

'It's definitely useless to tell you Lailai. Although Mr. Kagus' reaction is a little slow, he is not stupid. '

Not only must the soul strength reach 20 points or above, but the soul qualification must also reach S+ or above. At the same time, you cannot learn any other core soul abilities in advance. It can be said that even in the Soul Clock Tower in its heyday, this ability is only For a few people... To be precise, it is prepared by the reserves of the next Soul Clock Tower.

Moreover, according to the records, the people in the Soul Clock Tower themselves actually understood that the requirements for mastering the first-generation soul engraving were a bit too demanding, so they have been thinking of ways to optimize this ability. Unfortunately, it was limited by the limitations of the era at that time. And because the soul theory of the Soul Clock Tower itself has huge flaws, until the Soul Clock Tower was destroyed, the soul engraving ability was not successfully optimized.

2. Soul inscription literature

Xin Lailai raised his eyebrows, hugged Ling Yuzi in his arms, rubbed his face affectionately, and teased Kargus with a playful expression.

"So what, let them find a wife if you can! After all, I think Mr. Kargus is still jealous, right?"

[Tip: If you give up the choice, the pioneer will be the default for the development of the whole system. You need to upgrade the levels of all routes at the same time to increase the advanced soul science level. 】

"So, Mr. Kargus, have you ever fallen in love with any of the void beauties you talk about? Even if it doesn't work out, you should at least have a few romantic affairs, right?"

In fact, this ability was not developed step by step from the first level, but was created by a certain peak-level leader of the soul faction when he broke through to the top level. It is an optimization of the original skill points. The final top ability starts at the LV.EX level, which leads to the ridiculously harsh learning conditions.

"Tsk, tsk, you are really taking advantage of me. If I hadn't been here, with your terrible soul qualifications, you would never have been able to master the ability of soul engraving in this life."

As for why the learning conditions for soul engraving were so harsh at that time, it is related to the origin of this ability.

[Tip: Multiple choices are available, but subsequent upgrade costs will increase accordingly based on the number of routes selected. 】

"Ahem, what do you know, you little bastard! I was wholeheartedly on the path of studying souls and magic back then. How could I have so much energy to care about those trivial things... No, what are you doing asking about this? Why the hell shouldn't you start quickly? Choose your spiritual direction?"

...

But even so, before the arrival of the golden age, the ability of soul engraving was still only promoted on a small scale.

"Ahem, Mr. Kargus, don't worry. Aren't we confirming this?"

'I have to give it a try anyway. Teacher Kagus has been tricked so many times, maybe this time will be the best? Get some more gossip, so that when we go to the void, we can find Boss Mutes for more rewards. '

Xin Lailai said without changing his expression, while focusing on the new prompt that popped up in front of him:

——Of course, it would be a different matter if, like him, he had a wife whose soul qualification reached B+ and was bound to the origin of life.

1. Soul Rune Literature

[Tip: It has been detected that the Pioneer’s knowledge skill [Basics of Soulology] has been upgraded to [Advanced Soulology], so it is a very large knowledge system. The Pioneer can choose a specialization route from the following options]

I saw Kargus explaining with some lack of confidence at first, then he realized something, raised his eyebrows, glared at Xin Lailai, and scolded.

87.Soul Mimicry
……

Seeing this, Xin Lailai clicked his tongue in disappointment. Originally, he wanted to dig up some dirty information about Kargus and use it as a bargaining chip for snitching, but the other party actually reacted.

On the imprint interface, Ling Yuzi typed on the communication channel. Ever since they learned that their psychic communication abilities had flaws that were seen through by the bosses, they now use imprints to communicate in front of bosses like 83203 and Kargus.

It is also written very clearly in the literature that the reason why a successor could not be found for such a long time after the destruction of the Soul Clock Tower was that, apart from the suppression of the Eternal Star, the biggest reason was that no successor could be found who met the requirements.

"Fart! I'm going to be jealous of you two guys who haven't lived a fraction of my life? I've seen more void beauties back then than you two guys have eaten!"

...

It was not until the arrival of the Golden Age that a large number of scholars who were proficient in the soul system gathered together under the attraction of academic sects. Only then did they successfully achieve the feat that the Soul Clock Tower had not been able to complete until its destruction. The souls with the initial level of LV. The engraving was gradually optimized and lowered to LV.MAX. Only then did people with soul qualifications reaching B- level have the qualifications to master the soul engraving. The ability of soul engraving has since been inherited from the soul clock tower. The threshold for qualifying for learning is frighteningly high, and it has become a basic ability that must be learned for entry into every soul system.

After all, the two requirements of 20 points of soul strength and not being able to learn any soul science core abilities in advance are enough, but the implicit requirement of S+ level soul qualification is too harsh.

"Tsk, boring."

4. Soul Occultism

Kagus looked at Xin Lailai, stroking his goatee, and said sarcastically.

Although he couldn't hear what the two were communicating, his intuition as a middle-aged man told him that these two rebels were definitely planning something to trick him!

As for why we don’t try to optimize soul engraving to the point where even people with soul qualifications of only C-level can use it, one is because it is too difficult, and the other is because if you don’t even have B-level qualifications, it is recommended to find another way out. The development is better, there is no need to stick to the soul system.

This was not because the soul masters at the time were too proud of themselves, but because the initial implicit mastery requirements for soul engraving were too high.

3.Soul Weaponry

And this is when Paradise has mastered the birthplace of genius such as the real world, and placed it in the void. Considering the vastness of the void, let alone how many there are in one session, it may not be possible to dig it out in the entire era. Several geniuses whose soul qualifications can reach S+.

Xin Lailai had a harmless smile on his face, looking like a sunny and cheerful big brother next door. Cagus's expression twitched slightly when he saw it, and the veins on his forehead bulged unnaturally.

"You two, if you want to confirm the direction, hurry up and don't leave us alone!"

……

Route selection.

This is an option that almost everyone who embarks on the path of soul system will face. Soul science is an extremely large knowledge system. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for anyone to be proficient in all the routes. Therefore, if you want to develop, you must You must choose a direction of specialization.

As for which one to choose, whether to choose only one or several at the same time, it all depends on personal needs and abilities.

For example, Kargus chose the three routes of Soul Weaponry, Soul Mysticism, and Soul Runeology, and Xinlailai had already decided to give priority to the same three routes as Kargus.

Needless to say, soul runes and soul secrets. The former is of great help to his alchemical biology and Ling Yuzi's alchemical seal science, and can also complement his runes, while the latter is a must for almost every soul scholar. It's a line to learn. After all, if you can't even master the most classic soul secret method, it's still called the soul system. As for Soul Weaponry, in Kagus’s words, although this route is a bit unpopular, it is the route that can improve their combat power the most. It can immediately turn their 80-point soul strength into combat power. gain.

[Tip: The selection is complete, [Advanced Soulology] has selected the specialization route]

[Tip: Already mastered [Elementary Soul Occultology], [Elementary Soul Weaponry], [Elementary Soul Rune Literature]]

A cold reminder sounded, and in the next second, a large amount of knowledge began to flow into the minds of the two people uncontrollably. A strong feeling of swelling and pain began to emerge from their minds, and it took several minutes before it gradually began to subside.

After the discomfort in his head completely subsided, Xin Lailai breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened his eyes with Ling Yuzi, and looked at the skill interface at the edge of his sight:
……

[Elementary Soul Mysticism: LV.1]

Proficiency: 0/100
1. The secret method of absorbing soul: The secret method that can restore soul energy by absorbing the soul energy in [Soul Crystal].

Upgrade cost: 1 soul coin

……

[Elementary Soul Weaponry: LV.1]

Proficiency: 0/100
1. Native soul weapon: You can select materials with soul characteristics and forge them into natal soul weapons. The strength of this soul weapon will increase as the user's soul strength increases.

Upgrade cost: 1 soul coin

……

Lines of light blue text floated quietly at the edge of Xin Lailai's sight. Different from the basics of soul science and their alchemy, the three branches of soul science that appeared this time not only require sufficient proficiency but also sufficient proficiency to improve the level. A certain upgrade fee needs to be paid.

This is not because Paradise is cheating them out of money, but because the advanced soul science can no longer be regarded as a simple passive knowledge, but already belongs to an independent extraordinary system.

Since it involves the extraordinary, it is impossible to simply rely on the mastery of knowledge to determine whether one can improve. Many extraordinary knowledge cannot be understood by the normal human brain. If you want to learn, you must let your soul or yourself Only if the brain evolves the corresponding perceptual structure.

If placed in the void or the native world, this step may take a long time to complete, but in the paradise, as long as they can afford the money, the paradise will directly handle it for them.

This is why so many people in the void are so envious of people from the Void Tree camp and the Paradise camp. As long as they dare to work hard, have enough talent, and have enough resources, they can change at a speed tens of millions of times faster than normal training and accumulation. Strong, this kind of thing can be said to be a good thing that many people who have been trapped in a certain level of non-Paradise and Void Tree camps for their entire lives are a good thing that they would never dare to dream about.

"But isn't it a bit too dark to ask for a soul coin at level one?"

Xin Lailai looked at the upgrade cost displayed on the skill list and muttered softly.

"You kid, just be content with what you have, that is, you are in the paradise. Otherwise, if you put it outside, you can improve it just by spending money. This is a good thing that many people want."

Kargus glanced at Xin Lailai and said:

"Okay, now that you have mastered the method of forging the natal soul weapon, hurry up and seize the time to forge the soul soldiers of you and Xiao Lingyuzi, so that you don't have to spend the whole day muttering that you have no soul strength but send It’s useless!”

"Teacher Kargus, please don't slander me. I don't complain every day. I just complain occasionally."

Xin Lailai retorted habitually, and at the same time took out the 10 soul crystals (large) that he had specially exchanged for Qing Weilie before, and handed them to Kargus.

Kargus glanced at the soul crystals in his hand, nodded slightly, and waved his hand casually, dividing the ten soul crystals (large) into two parts, forming two simple five-pointed star arrays in mid-air. The law comes out.

"One person per person, I shouldn't need to explain the rest again, right?"

"Well, thank you, Mr. Kargus."

Xin Lailai nodded slightly, looked up at the five-pointed star formation above his head, closed his eyes, and his soul instantly left his body. He and Ling Yuzi each sat on an formation in their soul bodies, expanded their psychic realm, and recalled in their minds Start with the process that Kargus explained to them in advance.

The natal soul soldier.

This thing is not the product of the soul clock tower, but something that originates from another soul system, but its place of origin has been destroyed as early as the first era.

The soul weapon system is different from the conventional soul system. In the normal soul system, the attack methods used in combat are usually soul-based methods as the main means, and are supplemented by other means. In the soul weapon system, the natal soul soldiers Although this word sounds very majestic, in fact it is an auxiliary method used to assist other systems.

The original purpose of the soul system boss who created him was just to create an auxiliary ability that could enhance the strength of his soul to his own techniques. The ability to develop and grow into a complete system was entirely due to the other party. Unexpected things.

As for why the soul weapon system has grown to this point, the reason is also very simple:
——Simple, powerful, low threshold, and extremely compatible with other systems.

Boom——! !

In the exclusive room, a circle of violent soul fluctuations spread, and a large amount of soul energy was seen pouring out from the five soul crystals, rushing into the souls of the two people, and pouring into their soul spaces.

[Tip: It is detected that the Pioneer is performing [Soul Weapon Forging]. This behavior will cause the active skill [Ghost Blade] to disappear, please choose carefully! 】

A cold prompt sounded, but Xin Lailai didn't care about the prompt in his mind at all. Instead, he continued to guide the soul energy in the soul space to turn into blazing soul fire and forging hammer, towards the short blade in the soul space. The phantom was blasted away.

This short blade is the embodiment of his and Ling Yuzi's original soul energy. The core of the ability [Blade of Ghosts], which was revealed with the help of Kargus, is also the one they selected for forging [Native Soul]. Bing] base material!

'Remember, the forging of a natal soul weapon is essentially to forge a part of your soul into a weapon, thereby converting the strength of your soul into substantial gains. Therefore, the more closely the selected materials are related to your soul, the better! '

'At the same time, natal soul weapons can be roughly divided into two types: offensive and defensive characteristics. Normally, because a person can only forge one natal soul weapon, once you choose a soul weapon with attack characteristics, you can no longer choose defense. Characteristic soul soldiers. '

'But you two are different. Because of the symbiotic relationship of origin, you are two people and one body. Therefore, although your soul soldiers can only benefit yourself under normal conditions, after you enter the state of elves assimilation, because you Since we are the same person, the buffs of your soul soldiers will also have an effect on each other, achieving both offense and defense in a true sense. '

Kargus's words echoed in Xin Lailai's mind. In the soul space, the soul energy released by the soul crystal was condensed into an entity bit by bit under the hammering of flames and spiritual power.

And wait until the moment it is completely formed——

Zheng——! !

A sweet clanking sound of the sword resounded in Xin Lailai's soul space, echoing the heavy impact sound in Ling Yuzi's soul space.
