Chapter 57 The Big White Goose, the Little White Mouse, the "Contract"

Normally, when a Great Soul Master reaches the bottleneck of level 30 and absorbs a Soul Ring, they only become a level 31 Soul Venerable.

Upon his breakthrough, his soul power level directly reached level 33, and he was not far from level 34, saving him three or four months of cultivation time.

This is one of the benefits of absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit.

Of course, if a 100,000-year-old soul beast is willing to sacrifice itself for him, and the soul skill of the soul ring happens to be what he needs, he can improve even faster.

Unfortunately, there's no Xiao Wu in reality to be sacrificed at will.

Jiang Ci'an shook his head, stopped letting his thoughts wander, and instead focused on sensing the changes within himself.

Besides the increase in soul power, his "self-condensed soul bone" has also grown significantly during these few hours of tempering.

Under the influence of the ten-thousand-year soul ring's energy, all 206 bones in his body have advanced significantly from the thousand-year level to a higher level.

Based on the current progress, it's almost certain that once he breaks through to level 40 and absorbs another soul ring, his entire skeleton will transform into a complete set of ten-thousand-year soul bones.

At that time, he can begin to try to condense his spiritual aperture.

In the Knight system, the Spirit Aperture is the core after the sixth rank, serving as a bridge for Knights to establish a deeper connection with the energy of heaven and earth.

If he can successfully construct a spiritual aperture based on his ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, then he will usher in a true qualitative change.

Finally, there's the change in his martial soul and the new soul skill he acquired.

The former goes without saying; "X-ray vision," "indifference," and "time control" have been enhanced once again, gradually approaching their power in the virtual world.

He was very much looking forward to seeing how much his abilities would be enhanced in the virtual world.

And the latter...

Jiang Ci'an stared at the deep black soul ring hanging beside him, sensing the information emanating from it, his eyes flickering slightly.

This time, he personally selected and customized a special soul skill for Electrolux. Its specific effects will need to be tested on a guinea pig...

But who should we ask for the experiment?

As Jiang Ci'an pondered, the image of a certain white goose that always liked to tilt its chin up and look proud involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

His eyes flickered slightly, as if he were deep in thought.

Perhaps we could give it a try?

……

Ping An Pharmacy, in the backyard.

The afternoon sun had passed its most intense period and had shifted from overhead to the west.

At the edge of the training field, Wang Dong'er sat cross-legged on a futon, holding a water bottle and sipping her energy supplement.

While drinking, she glanced out of the corner of her eye at Xiao Xiao, who was diligently tempering his physique in the center of the arena.

As their cultivation progressed, her and Xiao Xiao's cultivation styles diverged significantly due to their individual circumstances.

Xiao Xiao spent more time on physical training, using the suppressing power of the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to gradually improve her physique, day after day, without interruption.

Aside from her regular spiritual practice, she devoted most of her time to practicing the "concentration meditation method."

There's no way around it, this meditation method is just too addictive.

After each meditation session, she would feel exceptionally comfortable, as if she had been cleansed from the inside out, experiencing indescribable relaxation and joy.

Moreover, as her mental strength improved, she gained more and more control over her soul power, and her every move became more precise and efficient.

This can be considered another way to improve one's own strength, and it can't be considered as indulging in trivial pursuits and neglecting one's duties.

Turning her gaze away, she gulped down the last few mouthfuls of her energy supplement, savoring the feeling of being refreshed, then closed her eyes and began to meditate.

Instantly, a feeling as if her soul was being nourished welled up naturally, and she felt indescribably comfortable.

Time passed slowly, and just as Wang Dong'er was immersed in meditation,

Suddenly, she felt something blocking the sunlight from above her head.

The efficiency of her meditation decreased slightly, and Wang Dong'er frowned and opened her eyes.

Then, she saw the familiar boy standing in front of her at some point.

He was backlit, his sharp features gently edged with light in the sunlight, and his golden eyes, even more dazzling in the light, were quietly gazing at her, as if he wanted to say something.

Wang Dong'er's initial displeasure at being interrupted during her cultivation inexplicably dissipated after she saw who it was.

She looked at that face, but then paused unconsciously for a moment.

Is it just my imagination? It seems like this guy has grown taller yet again, and he looks even better now?

It wasn't this outrageous before.

She felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she didn't dwell on it. She tilted her head back, her blue-pink eyes looking at Jiang Ci'an.

"What? Is something the matter?"

Jiang Ci'an nodded and sat down beside her.

The distance is just right, neither too far nor too close.

Wang Dong'er narrowed her eyes slightly, tilted her head to look at this guy, her long blue-pink hair slipped down from her shoulders, and a few strands fell into the gap between the two of them.

Just as he was about to ask what was going on, before he could even speak, a flash of light appeared in Jiang Ci'an's hand, and a scroll material appeared out of thin air.

This was an unrolled scroll, the paper a rustic pale yellow, with intricate and delicate patterns embroidered in gold thread along the edges. She had never seen such patterns before, and they carried a sense of solemnity.

On the scroll were rows of tiny characters, neatly arranged, with a sleek yet not rigid script, exuding a rigorous and composed air, but they were not any script she had ever seen before.

Wang Dong'er blinked, her eyes filled with confusion.

"What is this?"

Jiang Ci'an smiled, a subtle golden light gleaming deep within his eyes:

"Would you like to sign a contract with me?"

Wang Dong'er blinked.

Her gaze lingered on Jiang Ci'an's face for a moment, then on the scroll for a moment, skipping back and forth twice, before she slowly narrowed her eyes and looked at Jiang Ci'an suspiciously.

"You look just like those human traffickers that my father used to talk about, the ones who trick young girls into signing contracts to sell themselves into servitude."

"..."

What's that big white goose thinking about all day...?

Jiang Ci'an was about to explain when the girl in front of him reached out and snatched the ancient parchment scroll from his hand.

"You sign here, right?"

As she spoke, she condensed a wisp of golden soul power at her fingertips and directly signed her name on the contract.

"..."

Jiang Ci'an paused for a moment.

This big white goose has absolutely no wariness, does it?

Seeing Jiang Ci'an's surprised expression, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but snort. Just as she was about to say something, the contract in her hand changed the next moment.

On the contract, the name she had just signed trembled violently, and then the entire contract radiated a dazzling golden light.

She instinctively loosened her grip on the contract, and saw it slowly float up, its light continuously rising.

Then, in the next moment, the scroll suddenly exploded between the two of them, turning into countless tiny golden specks of light, which then instantly coalesced into a golden chain.

One end pierced her chest, while the other end pierced Jiang Ci'an's chest, connecting the two in a way that was visible to the naked eye.
