Chapter 285: 270 Spiritual Energy Gift Pack_2



Bai E had just awakened his Spiritual Energy and there were too many basic Spiritual Energy techniques he needed to learn and master.

"Next, you need to master some external application techniques," Yueying said.

Augmenting oneself was the basic of the basics, but applying it to things outside oneself naturally presented some difficulty.

Yueying's gaze casually swept over Bai E before finally resting on his calf, "Draw your dagger."

Other weapons were too cumbersome, only a compact dagger could be carried at all times, ensuring Bai E always had a weapon at his disposal.

"Mm," Bai E swiftly drew his dagger, the specially treated matte black blade did not attract attention even at night.

"Imagine your Spiritual Energy is an extension of your body, like invisible tentacles... use the tendrils of Spiritual Energy to sense the existence of the dagger, to delve into its internal structure, and to encompass it within your 'domain'..."

[Teaching Task Triggered—Spiritual Power Enchantment]

[Teaching Task—Spiritual Power Enchantment: ...Task completion reward: Spiritual Energy limit +1.]

Bai E, who had similar experiences with the Gun Fighting Skill, felt that he could easily accomplish this.

His Spiritual Energy, like a grey mist, spread from his body into the dagger in his hand, with the dagger's every structural property manifesting in his mind as clearly as an "ingredient list."

Subconsciously, he knew how to make it exhibit the properties he desired.

Yes, subconsciously.

All actions within the realm of Spiritual Energy were subconscious.

There was no need to understand the exact ratios of various elements needed to give a material the desired characteristics, no need to comprehend the mysterious chemical reactions that occurred according to their own laws.

One only needed to know… what one desired.

The dagger… softened.

"???"

"???"

Yueying looked at Bai E with a somewhat strange expression.

Normally, a person's first attempt would make it harder, but why did you...

Bai E waved his now limp dagger around, producing a wind-breaking sound akin to that of a Soft Sword.

Intrigued by his special attribute "Whip Tips" from his close combat expertise, Bai E found the flexibility of the weapon quite interesting.

Realizing he could actually make it soft, he couldn't help but be amazed.

What a magical power...

[You have successfully used Spiritual Energy to change the properties of the object in hand. Teaching Task—Spiritual Power Enchantment completed. Reward: Spiritual Energy limit +1 has been granted.]

"Making it softer rather than harder is more difficult. It looks like you're quite proficient in this use of Spiritual Energy," Yueying wasn't too surprised; these basic skills were also something she had naturally mastered at the moment she awakened her Spiritual Energy, indeed nothing special.

"Next... is the full utilization of Spiritual Energy."

[Teaching Task Triggered—Spirit's Breathing.]

[Teaching Task—Spirit's Breathing: ...Task completion reward: Spiritual Energy limit +1.]

When needed, one could burst toward higher peaks, and in moments of relaxation, conserve more willpower.

Spiritual Energy was born from willpower; easing the output of willpower was to conserve the output of Spiritual Energy.

As Bai E personally transformed the Elf Breathing Skill into the Spiritual Power Breathing Skill suitable for humans, mastering this breathing technique was effortless for him, easily understood.

[Spirit's Breathing: You have proficiently mastered the method of fully utilizing Spiritual Energy.

From now on, during the continuous "Spirit Heart Crossing" and "Spiritual Power Enchantment," any moment not involved in intense output will build up your potential for a burst and reduce Spiritual Energy consumption by 33%, while potentially increasing the actual effect by an additional 50% during a burst.]
Experience exclusive tales on empire

[…Teaching Task—Spirit's Breathing completed. Reward: Spiritual Energy limit +1 has been granted.]

The basic Spiritual Energy starter pack.

It was like levelling up and then clicking on skill points repeatedly; the sensation of rapid improvement was somewhat addictive.

Bai E looked forward to Yueying with anticipation, waiting for her to provide him with more of the abilities he needed.

This Elf Race lady was like a walking treasure trove; just digging out something from her could greatly benefit oneself.

Yueying lived up to the expectations, nodding in satisfaction as Bai E learned another trick, "Next, we move on to the actual use of Spiritual Energy to execute 'miracles'."

[Triggered Teaching Task — Spiritual Power Maxims.]

[Teaching Task — Spiritual Power Maxims: ... Task Completion Reward: Spiritual Energy cap +3.]

"Powerful practitioners of Spiritual Energy, even the words they speak, possess extraordinary power. The belief mixed within their words can invisibly influence the will of the listeners. Of course, language is just one form; any method that can convey your message to others can serve as a medium..."

Whether it was the military Spiritual Power practitioners Bai E had previously encountered or Yueying herself, there was a conscious or unconscious use of this ability.

The speaking Yueying thought about her "loss of composure" the night before.

At that time, it was because she couldn't control her stray thoughts, which caused her words to unconsciously carry a hint of desire.

Fortunately, the human warrior before her had a steadfast will and wasn't infected by her; otherwise...

If he had given an enthusiastic response at that time, she dared not imagine what would have happened last night.

Every moment on the path of Spiritual Energy carried risks and required the practitioner to strictly control themselves.

"... Pay attention, as your proficiency in Spiritual Energy deepens, you'll need to control your powerful thoughts even more. If every word you utter has the power to influence hearts, you should consider how to prevent affecting the minds of others.

The influence is mutual; when you endlessly spread your thoughts, you will also receive the chaotic thoughts of others, which is certainly not beneficial to you," Yueying said seriously, with grave emphasis on every word.

Spiritual Power Maxims was not only a method for utilizing Spiritual Energy but also a self-restraint for curbing it.

Learn to use, then learn to restrain.

Bai E slowly nodded, "I understand now."

This skill was clearly more difficult; the reward given for completing the task increased from 1 point of Spiritual Energy cap for the previous three teaching tasks to 3 points.

Rewards are often linked to difficulty.

After two attempts, realizing this wasn't a skill he could master on "talent" alone, Bai E directly activated the cheat mode to assist with experience.

[You are using general experience to correct your Maxims conversion...]

[Current Conversion Progress: 35.7%]

...

[... Teaching Task — Spiritual Power Maxims, completed. Reward: Spiritual Energy cap +3, issued.]

The technique of Spiritual Power Maxims wasn't too simple, nor was it overly difficult; after spending a total of 600 points of experience, he finally mastered it.

Exactly 10 points.

Through four tasks, while mastering the basic tricks of Spiritual Energy, Bai E also significantly increased his overall Spiritual Energy.

"Alright, that's about it for today... There aren't many skills you can learn with your newly awakened Spiritual Energy. Before you increase your power to a new level, boosting your store of Spiritual Energy is your most urgent task," Yueying said.

[Tip: Your Spiritual Energy isn't strong enough to support higher levels of learning. Quickly increase your Spiritual Energy total, and after reaching at least 50 points, you can seek Yueying for more advanced Spiritual Energy skills.]

"Whew~"

Bai E nodded, stood up, and bid farewell.

"Ms. Yueying, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

As Bai E left, he looked at the panel displaying the many newly learned abilities and the fact that he was left with only 179 points in his total experience reserve; a sense of urgency involuntarily rose from the bottom of his heart.

Need to find an opportunity to harvest.

Time to crank up the intensity—

The bunch of newly learned Spiritual Power skills, I'll straight up add them to the second level of the Faction Shop!

Gong Yan in the trio seemed to have a preference for Spiritual Energy; the Faction Shop had never offered Spiritual Energy-related skills, so he rarely harvested experience from her.

The other two were practically sheared bald; time to switch to a new sheep for a sheer.
