Imperial Spirits - Otherworldly Adventures

His sudden question caused everyone to stop momentarily, and their gaze drew towards the young man. 

The young man had a simple yet resolute face, thick eyebrows, and slightly long hair that winded to his shoulders. 

Ding Wei is also from the top family of Yangwu, the Ding Family. He is the youngest son of the current patriarch of the Ding family. 

He is more of a free-spirited person, rather than someone with a young master's attitude.

Seeing that everyone is eyeing him, Ding Wei somewhat flustered said, "Vice-Headmaster, Headmaster Wang, the ability I've awakened is more inclined to support; if you want, let me demonstrate it for you right away." 

"Heh, a support-type water ability. Good boy, show us what kind of ability you have awakened." Wang Renshu suddenly couldn't help but add a line as he looked towards Ding Wei with sheer interest. 

"Okay, please look at everyone!" As he said, Ding Wei closed his eyes in focus; after all, although he had awakened his ability, it would take a lot for him to display it for now.

Why? Because although he has broken through the stage of apprentice warrior physique and successfully stepped into Black Iron Rank Spirit Warrior, he still lacks a lot compared to a real Black Iron Rank Spirit Warrior. 

With his current reservoir, he can barely display his ability once. 

As everyone's eyes were glued on Ding Wei, Li Yanyan also came out of her confusion; just as she moved her head a bit, she also saw Ding Wei and Jin Tao, especially Ding Wei, who were standing in the middle and surrounded by everyone else. 

Just as everyone's focus was on the young boy, everyone saw that around Ding Wei, water vapors began to condense.

Slowly these water vapors began to concentrate in front of him and slowly flowed towards Ding Wei and began to attach over his skin. 

In less than a minute, the condensed water formed a light film as it covered his body, and a faint whitish blue light flicked from his body. 

What happened next is that the water film that was attached to Ding Wei's body began to attract water energy from the surroundings.

Although it's not possible to see the water energy vividly in the atmosphere, the gathering of humidity and slight vapors are proof that water's profound energy is being pulled towards Ding Wei steadily. 

Half a minute later, the water film broke, and Ding Wei opened his eyes. 

He looked at everyone looking towards him in surprise and interest; he could not help but take a step back.

"Ahem, headmaster, everyone I've named this ability 'Profound Aqua Cover.'"

"The main usage of my ability is to strengthen the water element near me; it not only strengthens the water element near me, but this cover automatically absorbs the water energy from the atmosphere to further strengthen the defense of this thin film."

At last, it helps me absorb purest water energy many times faster." As he explained his ability, he couldn't help but smirk and ask further, "Headmaster, what do you think of my ability?"

"Not bad, Ding boy! Although your ability is inclined towards the support, if you use it correctly, it could be your biggest weapon." Wang Renshu nodded his head in approval.

While he could see that Ding Wei slightly owes some beating, this little guy is indeed lucky to have such good ability. 

"Headmaster, how do you say that?" Ding Wei could not help but ask in curiosity; after awakening his ability, he was very eager to improve. 

Headmaster Wang thought about it and said, "For instance, your ability could gather and strengthen water element energy, which means that if you can cultivate a water attribute martial art, it would make your water attribute moves more powerful."

"While fighting, if you can cultivate the movement technique like Misty Steps or Water Reflection Steps, your speed would be increased if your Profound Aqua Cover' is active. Not only this, as your ability also has the defensive role, it means if you can understand your ability's profundity, you should be able to not only fight from afar but also fight near body battles."

While Headmaster Wang ended his sentence, Professor Kaio added another sentence: "Moreover, as your ability becomes powerful, it can increase the density of water elements near you; it could create a water domain, which could be very helpful for team support and even help in the growth of water element spirits."

"So in short, you awakened a great ability as long as you can use it correctly." 

As Ding Wei continued to listen, his eyes brightened, and even his breath became rapid. 

"Okay, now don't stand here; go inside the glass room and take some rest. Your teammates will be able to complete their trails soon." Teacher Wu, who was standing aside, could not help but remind both students and moved towards the monitoring room.

"Yes, Vice-headmaster!" Both nodded and hastily went over to the room pointed out by Teacher Wu. 

When they went forward, they saw that Li Yanyan was sitting alone while looking at them in a daze. 

"Li Yanyan! It's really you! So you completed the trial before us?" Jin Tao, who was quiet all the time, couldn't help but run towards Li Yanyan with a concerned smile.

Both of them are from the same class, and they are also friends.

Seeing her friend in a daze, she thought that she didn't get good results, which is why she ran towards her in a concerned voice.

Li Yanyan saw both of them reach towards her; she shook her head and passed a light smile, a forced one that it's.

Seeing her like this, Jin Tao said 'bad' in her heart. 

She went forward a step and held Li Yanyan's hand. 

"Yanyan, what happened? Don't worry; tell me if there's anything I could do for you." She asked anxiously while rubbing her hands.

Ding Wei, who was also smiling, couldn't help but frown and silently look towards Li Yanyan. 

He's not good at consoling, so he just looked towards her in a concerned way.

"It's nothing; don't worry about me; I'm fine. I know what you are worried about for sister Tao; it's nothing like that..."

"In fact, my result is not as bad as you think..." Li Yanyan shook her head and said in a low voice.

"Then what happened!?" It's not like usual... If you got a good result, you would have been smiling silly."

"Tell me what happened; don't worry, we'll do something about it! Right, Brother Ding Wei?" Jin Tao said as she looked back towards Ding Wei as if asking his opinion. 

"Right, right! Sister Li Yanyan, don't worry; if you have any worries, you can share them with us. Not only are we classmates, but we are also friends, after all." Ding Wei nodded hastily in response. 

Although he is a carefree person, it doesn't mean he is a pure idiot.

Li Yanyan hesitated for a moment and looked toward Ding Wei and Jin Tao as she decided to tell them what happened earlier. 

Especially Ding Wei; after all, both Jie Peng and Ding Wei were rivals, and most of the time it was them who fought each other.

After Ding Wei and Jin Tao listened to what happened earlier, Jin Tao's mouth turned agape in shock; even Ding Wei was stunned in the spot. 

"Hiss... Don't tell me it's real!?" Jin Tao said as she hissed in utter shock.

On the other hand, Ding Wei felt even more indignant, although Jie Peng and he are not friends, even more so they always fight and jeer at each other, but what happened with Jie Peng gave Ding Wei a thorough shock to the point he became speechless for a moment.

After a minute of silence, Ding Wei looked towards Li Yanyan and Jin Tao as he said them in a serious tone, "Sister Tao, Sister Yanyan, I have only one request for both of you: just think of it as a favor you have done for me; please don't tell anyone about what happened earlier...."

Both girls looked at each other and said in unison, "Don't worry; we are not good at gossiping." 

Ding Wei oddly looked at both of them, especially Li Yanyan. 

The latter saw the meaning in his eyes; she couldn't help but blush and said, "Don't think too hard; the reason I've told you is because you and Jie Peng knew each other; Sister Tao just happened to be here as well." 

"Ding Wei, don't think we are not good at keeping secrets, but since this matter is known by the headmaster and vice headmaster, it's possible that if someone asks, they might tell them."

"Moreover, Jie Yun is also in the awakening process. When he comes out, he'll definitely find Jie Peng missing and question the headmaster. Do you think others won't find out then?" Jin Tao, who was somewhat irritated with Ding Wei's odd looks, could not help but say as she knitted her eyebrows in worry. 

"Don't worry about that; I'll talk to the headmaster Wang and others to keep it secret for as long as they can."

"Although Jie Peng and I don't get along well. I don't like how Jie's family, especially Jie Peng's father, treated him." Shaking his head, Ding Wei said in a rather bland tone and went out of the glass room to talk to Headmaster Wang and other people present in the monitoring room.

Jin Tao and Li Yanyan looked at each other, and Jin Tao said as she glanced at Ding Wei's back, "It seems like not every rich boy is a stupid second generation... otherwise Ding Wei would have been smiling at his victory." 

"Hmmm, I also thought before that Jie Peng and Ding Wei were both reckless and stupid; it seems that we were so superficial..." Li Yanyan nodded her head and said emotionally,.
