Linjiang City.

North Suburb.

Yang Fan felt the needle-like stabbing pain inside his head and secretly muttered, "I will never do this again."

After obtaining the Illusion Spirit Ring from the official sources, this was the first time he used this weapon.

This piece of equipment has a rather high usage threshold, which is—Spirit Value must be greater than 200 points.

Of course.

With a Spirit Value less than 200 points, it's not impossible to use.

It's just that it's like a pony pulling a large cart, forcefully doing so will cause permanent damage to Spiritual Power.

His primary body's Attributes completely meet the requirements.

Yet he was far away, thousands of kilometers in Shapudian, defending against nations coveting the Celestial Mountain, unable to quench the nearby thirst.

This clone specifically used to guard the home had only a Spirit Value of 56 points, far below the threshold.

However.

Yang Fan boldly tried it out.

Because—he possesses the Refining God Superpower, a capability that can greatly enhance Mental Cohesion.

Also because—he has a team of Spirit Beasts under him.

As a Middle Grade Superpower Spirit Beast Messenger, he can link the spirit of the Spirit Beasts together, thus sharing the pressure brought by the Illusion Spirit Ring.

Moreover—he comprehended the Primordial Star Formation.

The second path of the Primordial Star Formation can greatly stimulate potential.

Back then, borrowing this path of the Primordial Star Formation, he inconceivably delivered a Knight's Fist, and across hundreds of meters, killed an Earth Worm.

With many methods, Yang Fan successfully drove the Illusion Spirit Ring, smashing a Spirit Beast Mark towards the monster.

The contract of the Spirit Beast Mark failed as expected.

This move directly transformed into a Spiritual Burst, the Illusion Spirit Ring further increased the Power by nearly 2.5 times, and fiercely struck the monster.

Although the strength of the monster reached the High Rank Warrior level, it was still blasted almost unconscious.

It wasn't even able to control the Ice Crystal Mist, and for the first time, revealed its true form.

Next.

A massive number of missiles detonated, turning this piece of sky completely into a sea of fire.

Yang Fan gritted his teeth, and added another Spiritual Burst.

Spirit Crow Black No.33 rapidly surged forward, relying on innate abilities, furiously attacking the monster with flames.

Thus.

With meticulous arrangement, a powerful Primordial Monster was killed in seconds.

At this moment.

Yang Fan's thoughts slightly moved.

A line of phantom text appeared.

〖Refining God〗: Activated, Low grade Mental Superpower, current evolution level is 8%.

Yang Fan was a bit surprised, "Spiritual Power endured ultimate pressure twice, and the Refining God Superpower progressed so much."

He checked the Attributes again.

[Attributes]

Physical Value: 202

Spirit Value: 236

Life Elemental Power: 2517

Yang Fan was even more surprised, "Refining God's evolution level increased, the Spirit Value actually rose by 2 points, this is interesting."

In the past, it was only activating superpowers, or fusing superpowers, that the Attributes would follow with an increase.

He has never encountered a situation where the increase in superpower evolution level stimulated Attribute rise.

At this time.

A flaming meteor descended from the sky.

"Gah!"

Accompanied by a resounding crow's cry.

The flames dissipated.

The figure of Black No.33 appeared.

Compared to some time ago, this Spirit Crow underwent significant changes.

Every feather of it looked like it was burning, and within its eyes, seemed to contain blazing flames.

"Master!"

The cry of Black No.33 was full of excitement.

Yang Fan praised lavishly, "Nice work!"

Black No.33 was very humble, "If it wasn't for Master's guidance, I wouldn't have been able to kill the monster."

Earlier, it manipulated the sea of fire, conjuring hundreds of Fire Snakes, a technique taught by Yang Fan.

Yang Fan added, "I saw you evolve Fire Snakes just now; suddenly, I was inspired.

"In the next few days, I'll help improve your Fire Control Technique, which should reduce Spirit Value consumption by about thirty percent."

The Spirit Crow was instantly overjoyed, "Thank you, Master!"

Its emotion seemed to affect the surroundings, light flames appeared out of thin air, enveloping this Spirit Crow.

Yang Fan watched this scene, unable to resist marveling inwardly, "Such strong talent."

Just the change in emotions could cause unusual phenomena; this is absolutely high-level talent.

He reckoned that with Black No.33's talent, the chance of advancing to Knight in the future shouldn't be lower than 95%.

The Spirit Crow added, "Master, I've expended quite a bit of power; I must go soak in a bath to replenish."

Yang Fan waved his hand, "Go ahead!"

Black No.33 flapped its wings, lowered its bird head respectfully towards the master, and then transformed into a stream of light and left.

This guy's "bath," is not a traditional bathing.

But rather—sitting in a boiler, roasting.

The Liren Lijiang Branch specifically requested funds upward, specifically constructing a boiler for Black No.33.

The above heard it was Mr. Spirit Crows' Spirit Crow, and the funds were allocated here by the afternoon, incredibly efficient.

Of course.

The function of this boiler is not just for Mr. Spirit Crows to take a bath, but also for heating the surrounding area.

Yang Fan watched Spirit Crows leave, his right hand moved slightly, and something quietly appeared in his hand.

This is the Soul Stealing Wisp.

He briefly checked it and couldn't help but smile a little.

157.3 Spiritual Source Points!

2.5 True Origin Points!

Besides that.

The Soul Stealing Wisp also extracted something unexpected.

"Buzz!"

The body of the wisp trembled slightly.

A mass of cold qi emerged out of thin air.

Yang Fan glanced at it and softly muttered to himself, "Quite interesting!"

The only regret is that it did not extract a superpower.

After a few seconds.

"Whoo~whoo~"

Accompanied by the roar of rotor blades, a helicopter rapidly flew over.

Yang Fan looked up and quietly waited.

A minute later.

Several soldiers hurried over.

Leading them was an old acquaintance, the director of the Liren Lijiang Branch - Director Zhang.

From several meters away, Director Zhang laughed loudly: "Mr. Spirit Crows, I've heard about you for a long time!"

He paused and said with a smile, "We've dealt with each other for so long, and today is the first time I've seen you..."

Before he finished speaking.

He suddenly faltered.

Director Zhang realized that an unusual white mist was drifting in front of Mr. Spirit Crows.

He only glanced at it and immediately felt a bizarre sensation of his "soul about to be frozen".

Director Zhang's body involuntarily shivered, as if he was in an extreme cold ice cave.

Not just him.

The soldiers accompanying him, including two superpower users, had the same reaction.

The difference was that the superpower users' reaction was not so pronounced.

"Ahem!"

Yang Fan lightly cleared his throat.

This group of people seemed to wake up from a dream, no longer feeling their souls being frozen, and their bodies stopped trembling.

Director Zhang subconsciously took a step back, with a bit of fright in his eyes: "Mr. Spirit Crows, what is this thing?"

Yang Fan replied: "This thing is called 'Cold Soul', it's a remnant of a monster, and can be understood as a variant of a soul.

"The Cold Soul still contains a trace of the monster's power. If you're not strong enough, it's best not to look at it."

Director Zhang couldn't help but swallow.

In fact, he didn't have a clear understanding of how powerful monsters are.

It wasn't until he saw this piece of Cold Soul that he truly realized how terrifying monsters really are.

Just seeing the remains like this, if he really faced a monster, wouldn't he be frozen to death in minutes?

A lieutenant with superpowers asked, a bit shocked: "Mr. Spirit Crows, since the Cold Soul is a type of soul, does that mean you've mastered the means to extract souls?"

The Secret Scripture clearly records that soul extraction is a technique only knights at a certain level can master.

And only knights with a deep understanding of souls can achieve this.

Yang Fan shook his head in denial: "No, I can't do it."

These words were half true and half false.

He indeed couldn't extract souls himself, but the Soul Stealing Wisp could.

Moreover, it was in the most shocking manner - extracting superpowers.

In the past, Yang Fan didn't understand what this meant. Now he knows that even a Venerable cannot do it, so how could he dare to casually speak about it?

The lieutenant looked utterly bewildered.

He wanted to ask more, but due to Mr. Spirit Crows' status, he dared not inquire further.

Yang Fan glanced at him and asked: "Do you think that to acquire a soul, extraction is the only way?"

The lieutenant hesitated a bit, then shook his head: "It shouldn't be the only way."

Yang Fan continued to ask: "If you could convert a soul into a physical form, would you still need extraction?"

The lieutenant was startled: "But the problem is, isn't a soul supposed to be intangible?"

Yang Fan provided an explanation through action.

He immediately extended a finger and rapidly pointed at the Cold Soul.

"Woo~"

There was a sound of an ethereal roar.

It sounded like the howl of a furious wind, yet also like the roar of a monster.

In the next second.

The Cold Soul began to rapidly contract, condensing into a fingertip-sized white bead.

Yang Fan pinched the bead with two fingers and smiled, saying: "Everyone, look, isn't this a physical form?"

He paused and said nonchalantly, "Once you understand the essence of monsters, this is not difficult to achieve."

The group was all dumbfounded.

The lieutenant showed an expression of having his worldview turned upside down.

After several seconds.

Director Zhang broke the silence: "Mr. Spirit Crows, the nature of the Cold Soul is so unique, what is its purpose?"

Yang Fan did not hide: "By devouring the Cold Soul, one can enhance the evolution level of ice superpowers and also improve spiritual power levels."

Director Zhang smacked his lips: "Good stuff!"

The Secret Scripture mentions that any item that can enhance superpowers, no matter the civilization, is considered good stuff.
