Martial arts? Mystic arts? Immortal techniques?
These words stirred up a tidal wave of emotions within him!
Although I don't know if this is just empty promises, the temptation is so damn good!
In particular, increasing the age of his spirit rings directly addresses his biggest pain point!
His soul ring configuration, with its yellow, purple, and black hues, was standard, but when paired with the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass martial soul, it felt like a pearl being tarnished.
The system's appearance at this moment doesn't seem to be entirely useless.
Is it icing on the cake?
No! If these flowers could really be added, it would probably bloom into a sea of flowers!
Jiang Yunzhou's attitude softened slightly, and his tone became more inquisitive:
"Oh? Tell me in detail, what kind of system are you? What are your uses?"
[Host, the purpose of this system is: to impart knowledge and skills, and to help you become an unparalleled immortal master! Its core function is: to take on disciples!]
As for the breach of promise, it was because the energy level of this realm was relatively low, which caused it to take longer than expected...
"Oh, I see. So, what's the situation with taking on apprentices?"
Jiang Yunzhou raised an eyebrow slightly. He was too lazy to care why the other man had broken his promise; there was no point in dwelling on it now.
Each of your spirit ring slots can be bound to a disciple you approve of! The final age of that spirit ring will dynamically equal the sum of the ages of all the spirit rings of the disciple you have bound to it!
After hearing this, Jiang Yunzhou felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind, making his head buzz.
This feature is more than just amazing; it's incredibly useful to him.
It's definitely a cheat code.
Chapter 4 We were never meant to be, all because of the big and round
Although the system itself is a transcendent being, this ability is truly outrageous!
He had previously felt somewhat regretful about his soul ring configuration, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.
Does that mean that as long as you get a disciple with exceptional talent, your soul ring age can increase dramatically?
What's the point of hiding anymore? We have to get involved in the plot!
We need to take on apprentices! We need to take on apprentices as soon as possible!
Moreover, you can't just collect them randomly; you have to be very selective and find those future monsters!
Where do promising young talents emerge at this point in time?
Jiang Yunzhou's gaze involuntarily drifted to the end of the road, to Soto City.
"Wow! Isn't that a coincidence?"
A meaningful smile curled at the corner of his mouth; at this moment, the gears of fate meshed perfectly.
"Well, we just made it in time!"
"System, is there a personal panel? Also, shouldn't we get some compensation? Like a big gift pack?"
[Some hosts, some]
[Ding! A martial arts gift pack has been delivered, granting a permanent +99 Charm Points (already in effect)! Please check...]
Jiang Yunzhou sensed the presence of the gift package with a thought.
Charm value +99?
He looked down at himself, but didn't notice any changes, so he didn't investigate further for the time being.
Attention was focused on the martial arts gift pack, which contained martial arts manuals from various worlds.
The highest level has reached the master level.
After a brief assessment, he felt that its level was roughly equivalent to that of the "Xuan Tian Bao Lu" from Tangshan.
There are too many martial arts techniques to list here; we can study them slowly in the future.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he silently brought up his system panel:
The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Martial Soul grants the host a constant boost to their base combat strength and cultivation speed. Current boost multiplier: 7x.
Level 79, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Saint
：黄（420年）、黄（750年）、紫（2000年）、紫（6000年）、黑（14000年）、黑（40000年）、黑（60000年）
First Soul Skill - Azure Leaf Sky Split: The sword leaf transforms into an azure blade, unleashing a highly penetrating and unpredictable sword energy strike, possessing armor-piercing and tearing effects against energy defense-type soul skills.
Second Soul Skill - Thousand Shadows of Leaves: Condenses sword-leaf phantoms to surround oneself, forming a sword-leaf barrier that integrates offense and defense, which can be controlled at will to block or launch attacks.
Third Soul Skill - Spiritual Source Revival: Stimulates the life essence of the sword grass, selects a target and releases it to quickly restore their injuries and replenish some soul power.
Fourth Soul Skill - Myriad Transformations Sword Prison: Centered on oneself, countless fine sword energies are conjured. Wherever the mind points, ten thousand swords are unleashed simultaneously, forming a wide-range sword rain attack.
Fifth Soul Skill - Boundless Sword Tomb: Unfolds a unique sword domain. Within the domain, tough and sharp sword grass grows on the ground, and invisible sword energy and pressure permeate the air, continuously cutting, harassing, and suppressing enemies.
Sixth Soul Skill - One Sword Severing Laws: Condenses the Nine-Leaf Sword Herb to unleash a final slash, containing a trace of the intent to 'sever rules', possessing the characteristic of breaking laws.
It can forcibly sever the energy connection of a target who is casting a soul skill, thus interrupting the spellcasting.
It can cut through energy barriers, enchantments, and other defenses.
It can ignore physical defenses and cause true damage.
Seventh Soul Skill - Sword Grass Descends (Martial Soul True Form): Transforms into the true form of a nine-leaf sword grass, with all attributes increasing several times over, and every move can unleash a vast and unparalleled torrent of sword energy.
Jiang Yunzhou quickly scanned the information on the panel; the content was indeed incredibly detailed.
"Hmm, this panel is convenient; it allows for a more intuitive quantification of one's own status." He nodded to himself.
Although we are aware of our own capabilities, data-driven presentations are indeed clearer.
His gaze returned to the direction of Soto City, a strong sense of anticipation surging within him.
With his current level approaching that of a Soul Fighter, coupled with the amplification from the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass and numerous powerful Soul Skills, he should no longer be afraid of that old schemer who has been hiding in the shadows.
Although they had never actually fought, he was confident he could handle it.
Moreover, he vaguely sensed that breaking through the bottleneck of the Soul Fighter Loli was just around the corner!
In high spirits, Jiang Yunzhou strolled leisurely along the forest path.
Suddenly, a black figure fleeing in panic entered his field of vision.
The figure was graceful, and the stunning curves were even more breathtaking as she fled at high speed.
Even a fleeting glimpse is enough to leave a lasting impression.
The woman's black clothes were torn in many places, revealing gruesome bloodstains underneath, indicating that she was seriously injured, and she staggered as she walked.
This unique attire and striking features instantly brought a name to Jiang Yunzhou's mind.
"Huh? Could this person be Zhu Zhuqing?"
A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. "This is a very bad omen. It seems we've run into trouble."
"Has she just fled the Zhu family? Traveling thousands of miles to this Tiandou Empire, she's probably searching for her fiancé, whom she's barely even met..."
As if to confirm his conjecture, the moment the thought crossed his mind, several murderous figures sped off in the direction where Zhu Zhuqing had disappeared.
Having roughly confirmed the other party's identity, Jiang Yunzhou immediately made a plan in his mind.
This is indeed a suitable candidate to be his first apprentice!
Isn't this a golden opportunity for her, given that she's currently in deep crisis?
Even though he knew perfectly well that, following the original trajectory, Zhu Zhuqing could have escaped without his intervention and would have been safe from harm.
But what could she do when Jiang Yunzhou had already set his sights on her?
"Hehe, we were never meant to be, but because of Big and Round, you've become my first apprentice!"
He moved swiftly and followed silently.
Zhu Zhuqing is indeed intelligent and knows how to make use of the advantages of her own martial spirit.
During the chase, she disappeared into a dense jungle.
The towering trees and complex terrain here form an excellent natural barrier, greatly hindering the trackers' vision and speed.
In the original script, she was probably able to escape precisely because of these cover-ups.
Jiang Yunzhou followed leisurely behind, acting as an observer.
With his strength, killing those Soul Venerables and the leading Soul Sect Master would be a piece of cake.
But he wasn't a chivalrous knight-errant; when doing good deeds, why wouldn't he leave his name behind?
A glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly accelerated, his figure passing over the crowd, quietly appearing in the path that Zhu Zhuqing must take, calmly blocking her way.
"Young lady, why are you in such a disheveled state?"
With a faint smile on his face, he continued, "Do you need help?"
This sudden sound exploded on Zhu Zhuqing's already highly tense nerves!
She abruptly stopped, her chest heaving violently.
Her rapid breathing betrayed her turmoil.
A pair of wary eyes stared intently at Jiang Yunzhou.
She was secretly alarmed, and didn't even see how the man appeared!
My heart started pounding uncontrollably, not because I saw my sweetheart, but purely because I was scared.
"Who are you? Why are you stopping me?"
Chapter 5: Take me as your master, and I will help you escape your predicament.
Jiang Yunzhou did not answer, but instead glanced behind her.
In that short delay, the footsteps and shouts of the pursuers became clearly audible, quickly closing the distance between them.
