Judging by the description, isn't this just like the [XX Simulator] from fantasy works?!
Undoubtedly, this is something far more suitable for him than anything else.
Lin Guang finally understood why Kong Guofeng took him to the treasury of the education bureau to choose Spirit Patterns and Skill Crystals earlier.
Lin Guang has a weakness that isn't really a weakness, which anyone examining his growth path could find — his contract time is painfully short, only just over half a year altogether, hence in Mystical Techniques and Skill Proficiency, he lags far behind the truly gifted, not by just a little.
He has been relying solely on his external aid and what can be deemed as tireless efforts to forcefully catch up.
The true prodigies from prestigious sects have their paths determined early, with elders finding Spirit Beasts with Purple Legend level Potential to accompany them in growth since childhood, and even their Spirit Patterns are planned out in advance.
The system can provide him with inheritance and power strong enough to bridge the gap, but how to best utilize these gifts still depends on his own talent and time to practice and manifest them.
Even though this gap can be compensated for later, the Spirit Master Extraordinary System has a low impact on longevity growth, due to certain special reasons, the maximum being just over three hundred years at present.
Is it long?
Compared with those descriptions left from other worlds, and those elites and Spirit Beasts with lifespans of thousands to ten thousand years; this period seems very short, almost fleeting.
So, under the premise of not forcefully accelerating his growth, Lin Guang hoped to be as fast as possible because a quick step leads to quick progress overall!
Only by being fast enough can he continuously defeat opponents and secure better rankings in state and national competitions, rolling the snowball early.
"This is not all yet."
As he spoke, Kong Guofeng took out another item from his embrace: a crimson crystal with a familiar flickering flame inside. "This is the True Intent Inheritance related to 'Fire Control' in the 'Red Dragon Devouring Demon Ascension' Array Map."
"It's the investment from the Eleventh Army to you, also considered a personal apology. If Tianmu had detected the Demon Race's plot earlier, you, as a Two-Star Spirit Master, wouldn't have faced the Demon King directly."
"Tianmu personally crafted it, trying to strip away any parts useless to you, minimizing the impact of True Intent Implantation, so it can be used alongside [Celestial Derivation Spiritual Core]."
"You are proficient in using fire and possess the [Demon Refining] Spirit Pattern from the Red Dragon Devouring Demon Ascension Array Map; surely this inheritance will have a high compatibility with you."
"…!!!"
Another True Intent Implantation!
Strictly speaking, aside from the system's talent, Lin Guang was encountering the chance of True Intent Implantation for the second time.
Lin Guang couldn't help but freeze in surprise—Tianmu True Man actually damaged his own True Intent to create this inheritance crystal for him?!
"As an inheritance of Red Dragon Devouring Demon Ascension, it's incomplete, and the amount of True Intent contained is not large, similar to the Blast Punch Crystal you first used from President Rote."
"But this is certainly not due to stinginess."
Kong Guofeng looked at Lin Guang, with emotions of high expectation in his words and gaze that seemed somewhat lacking.
"Prodigies are always extraordinary, more so in this Golden Era."
"We dare not interfere too much with your growth trajectory. To let you walk your own path smoothly, digesting these into your own elements, this level of True Intent Implantation is the limit."
"This..."
Lin Guang's expression froze.
These grand gifts overwhelmed him a bit.
They carried such weight that Lin Guang almost felt his breath was going to halt.
Actually, in his estimation, that consumable divine object should be enough to match his contributions, even exceeding them by a decent margin—after all, he consistently carries the two True Man's trump cards, confronting the Demon King seemed perilous but was as borrowing the flower to present to Buddha, not to mention the trump cards have been replenished for him, he suffered basically no loss.
"Don't think about repayment, you are not an ungrateful person, and I, Kong Guofeng, have never misjudged anyone."
Kong Guofeng calmly said, "Just give it your all, and showcase your best in the state competition."
Without waiting for more reaction from Lin Guang, Kong Guofeng waved his right hand, and the two items floated to the central column of the room. As if sensing something, the components on the metal column rotated like a Rubik's Cube, revealing a way straight to the center.
[Time-Backtrack Sand Core] and [Red Dragon Devouring Demon Ascension] Inheritance Crystal just floated into the column's center, suspended there, and after another rotation of the components, the metal column returned to its original form, though the components emitted a faint glow, ready to erupt at any moment.
"Once you are ready, press your hands on it alongside your partners."
After giving Lin Guang a reassuring look, Kong Guofeng left the room, granting the space to Lin Guang and his companions.
A flash of light, and three partners appeared beside Lin Guang.
Lisa wagged her tail, first gazing towards where Kong Guofeng was leaving, then staring somewhat dazedly at the [Celestial Derivation Spiritual Core].
"This..."
Her fox fire is mildly related to time, and she had been practicing diligently lately, sensing something indescribable.
"Phew, truly generous."
Vishdair whistled.
Meanwhile, Chellina, although silent, seemed somewhat visibly moved.
Is it really no repayment?
It's indeed... entirely different from Syracuse.
"Alright, stop dazing."
The silver-haired girl dressed in red-black attire walked beside Lin Guang, tapped his shoulder, and hooked onto him: "I knew you, the innocent fool, fall for this. The more they say no reward is needed, the deeper you remember them in your heart."
She suddenly tilted her head, bringing her pretty face near Lin Guang's, her peculiar cross-star pupils showing an equally serious expression.
"So..."
"Just don't let him down, right?"
Lin Guang glanced around his three partners and nodded, "Yes."
"But..."
"Not merely not letting him down."
Lin Guang's lips slightly curved.
At this moment, flames of determination already burned within those dark golden pupils.
"What I aim for... is for everyone to be shocked by us."
Seeing the boy's smile, the three girls all revealed smiles on their faces.
In the next instant, he raised his right hand, placing it on the metal column, lightly stimulating his Spiritual Power.
In an instant, invisible fluctuations spread, enveloping the entire training room, including the spiritual materials and Ethereal Crystals on the floor.
…
If Lin Guang were to describe what happened when he and his three companions engaged with the divine object, perhaps using [Emulator Stream] would be more appropriate.
First simulation.
[You and your partners began learning the newly acquired skills and Spirit Pattern Crystals without any distractions]
[30 hours spent non-stop, relying on various bonuses, you efficiently outlined the Translucent Spirit Pattern to 31%, while your partners barely grasped the new skills to the level shown in the skill panel using Ethereal Crystals within the simulation]
[Detected that your Spiritual Power and Ether were nearly depleted, resetting the world line]
Second simulation.
[With the experience from the first time, you skillfully continued practicing in this seemingly real yet illusory world]
[When outlining the Translucent Spirit Pattern to 55%, Vishdair started trying to compress Ether with his skills]
[Lisa successfully compressed the preparation time for instant movement over a twenty-meter distance to five seconds]
[Chellina began considering how to make Sword Rain more controllable]
…
Eighth simulation.
[Your newly acquired two Spirit Patterns were formally engraved in the Sea of Spirit, and received the Red Dragon Devouring Demon Ascension True Intent Implantation from Tianmu True Man along with Vishdair, while the three girls finally elevated all newly learned skills to Entering the Hall.]
[Preliminary preparations completed, you began the formal stage of Mystical Technique cultivation.]
…
Fourteenth simulation.
[Through your joint efforts, Chellina finally executed the first strike that completely eliminated physical damage but could slash the spirit with strong power]
[This Mystical Technique is still in its initial stage, yet it represents a crucial step forward.]
