Chapter 919: Chapter 111 First Mission Execution
“Every one of us has a soul, it’s just that most of the time it’s tucked inside the body…”
“A human stripped of their soul is nothing but a walking corpse, and a soul separated from the human can hardly survive alone…”
“In the past, it was difficult for us to harness the power of our souls…”
“Until the Spirit World appeared…”
“The soul is constantly emitting various kinds of power to the outside world…”
“These powers, accumulated over time, are absorbed by the Spirit World and in turn give rise to the spectres…”
“Compared to us humans, spectres naturally possess the ability to use the power of the soul…”
“While we humans need spectres as the key to unlock the use of soul power…”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The substitute teacher didn’t waste words and directly explained the relationship between spectres, the Spirit World, and humans.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu felt a strange sensation.
In the previous world, humans focused mainly on harnessing physical and Blood Qi strength, with almost no application concerning the soul.
In this world, however, the soul was the primary focus of cultivation, and physical development seemed limited only to passive refinement by the soul.
Perhaps, it was because the main threat in this world were spectres!
Zhao Yu realized that in the previous world, the development of physical strength was essential due to the presence of numerous monsters and king beasts, which all required physical means to be dealt with.
The primary development of the soul in this world was also because there weren’t creatures that couldn’t be dealt with through physical means.
The substitute teacher spent three hours briefly going over the basics.
Following that, the next class was about how to cultivate.
Other ordinary Spiritualists were in the classroom for the large class, while Zhao Yu and a few other rule-based Spiritualists were taken to a small classroom for one-on-one teaching.
When Zhao Yu arrived at the small classroom, there was already a girl who appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old inside.
“Hmm, are you here for the class as well?”
Zhao Yu curiously asked, wondering if the girl had entered the wrong room.
“I am your teacher…” The girl showed a resigned expression and said, “My name is Qiqi, you can call me Teacher Qiqi…”
Zhao Yu was startled, his face showing a hint of embarrassment, not expecting himself to judge based on appearances.
“Hello, Teacher Qiqi, I’m Zhao Yu, here to learn…” he said sincerely.
Qiqi’s face showed surprise, as she thought Zhao Yu might not take her seriously as a teacher after seeing her youthful appearance.
It seemed that Zhao Yu was even more impressive than she had expected.
Upon their first encounter, Zhao Yu made a good impression on her.
Qiqi nodded and smiled, “Okay, let’s get started…”
“Rule-based Spiritualists are different from ordinary Spiritualists. Ordinary Spiritualists cultivate Spiritual Power, also known as Soul Power, but they lack versatility…”
“Spiritual Power can only adhere to various weapons and body parts as a means of attack…”
“In fact, most spectres are similar, possessing various forms of spiritual-powered attack methods, relatively speaking, they aren’t difficult to deal with…”
“The real challenge is the rule-based spectres. Unless high-level Spiritualists use force to break the skill, causing the spectre to backfire, otherwise, it relies on sacrificing lives to discover patterns…”
“For low-level rule-based spectres, the logical chains they can form are few, and they can be dealt with at a lower cost…”
“Yet, for high-level rule-based spectres, the logical chains are very numerous, and continuing with previous methods makes them hard to deal with…”
“Thus, facing such spectres, the only way is to use the same rules to restrain, or even eliminate them…”
Qiqi shook her head, “Compared to rule-based spectres which can appear endlessly, rule-based Spiritualists in humankind take a long time to emerge, each one is extremely valuable…”
“The ratio between the two might reach a hundred to one…”
Then, Qiqi taught Zhao Yu a set of methods to cultivate Spiritual Power.
“You must have been told by your previous teachers that the source of Spiritual Power is our soul…”
“Every thought, every idea of ours is like the natural metabolism produced by the soul, continuously flowing…”
“What we need to do is to cultivate these thoughts, or soul fragments, into Spiritual Power, transforming them into force under our control…”
Qiqi explained, “Every Spiritualist needs to cultivate Spiritual Power, and you, as a rule-based Spiritualist, are no exception…”
“We all need to cultivate Spiritual Power like ordinary Spiritualists…”
“The only difference is, the method of combat Spiritualists cultivate involves spiritualizing certain parts of the body or weapons to strike at spectres…”
“Whereas the method we rule-based Spiritualists cultivate for attack is through rules…”
“The most important part is to form our own logical chains…”
“Rule-based Spiritualists have a set of overt logic and a set of covert logic…”
“The overt logic is used to fool the spectres, the covert logic is where the real lethality lies…”
Zhao Yu pondered, just like the anime spectre he had dealt with, where the overt first question was ‘Am I beautiful?’ which was actually paving the way for the second question.
Of course, the first question also contained real lethality, but it was weak, offering only a binary choice of right or wrong.
The second question, ‘Can you give me a set of anime clothes?’ ostensibly also asked about capability.
