Chapter 337 - Necessary Improvement (2/2)

Nik nodded at this reasoning. Being unable to learn inscriptions due to him 'not feeling' it was an irresponsible excuse. Nik was now a teacher, and he needed to be someone who can act like his student's father. Someone to guide the little troublemakers and for that to happen, his incomplete knowledge on one of the primary professions of the City was an obstacle that Nik needed to conquer.

”I understand, sir,” Nik spoke with troubling emotions and sighed deeply, ”I will make my way to the library—”

”Actually,” Ye Sheng smiled and waved his hand, ”Seeing your talents, the Principal arranged an Inscription Master to tutor you. This month's salary will be credited to the master that will teach you.”

”A tutor?”

Nik couldn't care less about the money. He had plenty of it. But the thought of someone else teaching him made him frown.

Understanding Nik's thoughts, Ye Sheng spoke up with a slight smile, ”You don't have to worry too much. The inscription master that the Principal arranged is actually our Snow Wind Family's Inscription Master. She is one of the—”

”I'll do it!”

Nik spoke up.

”I am willing to learn.”

Ye Sheng's expression grew strange, but he nodded eventually.

Soon, Ye Sheng left and reported back to Ye Shou.

”Huff,” Nik exhaled sharply and slumped back on his bed before springing up shortly when Asmodeus' whisper grazed his consciousness, ”I can teach you about Inscriptions, too, you know...”

Nik ignored her words and sat cross-legged. It was time to make use of the technique Sky gifted him with. This plane's law forbade anyone aside from the creatures categorized as Spirit Beasts to cultivate their spirit ring. Even when the humans had partially manifested spirits within them, they failed to form their individual spirit ring. If the description in Sky's technique was accurate, then, what Nik knew about the concept of spirits and soul was quite correct till now.

The soul is a source of power that could trigger evolution. It was both physical and spiritual in existence and hence, cannot be differentiated.

His body and his spiritual world housed his soul. This was all a theory, and Nik had no way to confirm this, but at least, he now had a sense of what his body contains aside from blood and gore. The Sprits and his flesh, on the other hand, are the guards of the gates that cover his soul. His spirits ensured to remove anything harmful to his soul from his spiritual world while the strength of his flesh would protect his vital organs so that his body can keep on functioning.

{A/N: Though cringe, I needed to introduce a unique cultivation method one way or the other. I apologize if my theory of body and spirit being a by-product is not appreciated. But this is what I have planned for the novel.}

Once his spirits are completed, instead of stacking more spirit rings, the three can also cultivate their own spirit rings and reinforce them with compatible, external spirit rings.

Nik slowly controlled his breathing and let his spiritual energy revolve within his body. This time, Nik made sure to allow his spiritual energy through his spiritual world, too. The formation of a spirit ring was a task that cannot be completed in a day. Nik needed time to keep on revolving his spiritual energy so that he can form a resonance between his spiritual world and physical body so that his spirit ring can gain the primary ability of his body and bloodline. Only the ability embedded into the deepest recesses of his bloodline would be turned into a spirit ability and with that, Nik would be able to cultivate his spirit ring further.

For two hours straight, Nik continued to revolve his spirit energy within his body before breaking out of his meditation.
