An eight-month period of study began.
The teacher of the support system Spirit Master class was a Spirit Saint who had recently broken through, and had served at Shrek for many years, possessing extensive teaching experience in the support system.
However, this was of little use to An Zhen, who had chosen the support system simply to slack off in the back.
An Zhen was capable of handling any position.
Yan Shaozhe had no intention of making An Zhen change classes; instead, he directly approved him not to attend classes.
His original intention was for An Zhen to live directly on Sea God Island.
Firstly, with the Golden Tree there, it was undoubtedly the best cultivation environment.
Secondly, apart from Mu En's guidance, all other theoretical knowledge could be supplemented with better private teaching resources for An Zhen, even including his own personal instruction.
But An Zhen was unwilling; he couldn't leave Huo Yutong.
Yan Shaozhe had no choice but to let An Zhen have his way.
In the morning, An Zhen received Mu En's guidance in front of the dormitory building.
In the afternoon, An Zhen carried a stack of books from the Inner Courtyard's secret library—the place Wang Yan yearned to enter—and entered the Virtual World.
Of course, these books were not for An Zhen to read, but for Iliex, who wanted to deeply understand the extraordinary system of this World.
An Zhen, meanwhile, continued to practice Da Meng Shui Xian Xing.
As for taking books out of the secret library, other students and teachers naturally wouldn't even dare to think about it, as they didn't have the qualifications to enter.
But for An Zhen, it was an unobstructed path.
In the evening, besides intimacy with the beautiful girl, it was time to receive Iliex's guidance; Da Meng Shui Xian Xing was put aside for now, otherwise, it would disturb the senior sister's sleep.
An Zhen felt like a sponge constantly absorbing water.
Basic theoretical knowledge.
Descend the World.
Iliex's Soul Class.
At this stage, it involved combining Descend the World and Da Meng Shui Xian Xing for soul control and mental force application.
If it weren't for the older sister and the beautiful girl sticking close, An Zhen would have thought he was back in his third year of high school.
Three months after the freshman assessment.
"It's finally a success."
Lying on the soft bed, a joyful smile appeared on An Zhen's face.
The third layer of Da Meng Shui Xian Xing, Dream Awakening, was successfully achieved.
Originally, with Iliex's guidance, it should have been faster, but with other study tasks, practice time was reduced, and he only broke through today.
"What?"
"Successfully coaxed the young lady to bed." An Zhen blinked.
In An Zhen's dormitory, there was now a dreamily beautiful girl.
Her pink-blue eyes seemed to speak, with long, curled eyelashes, and a delicate, flawless face bearing some girlish innocence.
A pink and blue halter dress revealed her tender shoulders, and her fair, beautiful legs still had some water stains.
"No mischief allowed!"
With hands on her hips, Wang Dong'er said seriously.
"Of course."
Over several months, An Zhen's greatest gain was the improved relationships with the girls.
Every holiday, Huo Yutong would go to study at the Soul Guidance System, leaving An Zhen and Wang Dong with their own space.
"It always feels strange."
Sitting on the bed with her perky little bottom, Wang Dong'er always felt an indescribable thrill, as if she was doing something immoral, but to be fair, she was An Zhen's first girlfriend.
Moreover, Yu Tong had already slept holding An Zhen in reality.
"It's all your fault."
Her foot, having just put on a white sock, kicked An Zhen's calf.
Her fair little face rested against An Zhen's chest through a short-sleeved shirt, and her soft, delicate body lay in An Zhen's arms.
"Yes, my fault, my fault."
A clingy, spoiled girlfriend.
An Zhen truly couldn't refuse such a cute Wang Dong'er.
…
"Blood, energy, and soul, all three can influence each other."
Spirit.
Soul.
"Spirit passed down through bloodline inheritance."
"spirit ring that retains sentience."
"The soul and energy of a Spirit Beast combined with the blood of a Spirit Master?"
"But if you want to form the creation you mentioned, I'm afraid you'll still need a connecting bridge.
I remember that the contracts in my World should meet such conditions."
An Zhen and Iliex were researching Soul Spirit.
Progress was good; to describe it in four words, it was a crushing victory.
An Zhen was the one crushing it.
All An Zhen could do was provide a general outline based on the knowledge he had from the original work.
The Virtual World is a good place.
Currently, apart from divine force, only consciousness can enter from outside, but the NPCs in the Virtual World themselves have souls, though without consciousness.
However, with An Zhen mobilizing energy and souls, and without any worries about adverse consequences, experiments could be conducted freely.
"You boy are truly squandering resources."
It was a handsome gray-haired man; to be precise, his entire being was gray, dressed in a gray robe, like an illusory ghost, with a faint golden glow on his body, sacred and majestic, exuding an extraordinary aura with every movement.
One glance confirmed: a big shot.
"With such a perfect simulation ground, whether for creation or experimentation, it is an excellent path, yet you only use its basic capabilities."
It was like having a powerful divine artifact but only using it to smash people.
An Zhen's theoretical knowledge reserves were already considered excellent among his peers, but you couldn't expect a high-achieving middle school student to participate in scientific research.
"Isn't that why I have you, Teacher?"
"You do whatever you want; I'll fully cooperate with you."
An Zhen copied a thousand-year Soft Bones Rabbit.
As for the other character template, it was a copy of Jiang Nannan, in the state of being level thirty and not yet having obtained her third spirit ring.
This was the most compatible pair An Zhen could find.
The experiment continued.
A few days later.
"Alright."
"This old man has remembered some more things, just enough to fill in the last gap."
This thing was indeed a bit difficult, but in this Virtual World, if he couldn't succeed after so many attempts, he wouldn't deserve to be called Deathly Sage, Necromancer.
For Iliex, what limited him was his own state; a mere wisp of residual soul could only think of so much.
These past few months, his recovery had been truly good, far exceeding his expectations; even in places outside with abundant Life force, this effect might not be achieved.
High-level beings are simply good, like a divine beast cub, perhaps not strong in power, but for ferocious beasts of hundreds of thousands of years, they are treasures that can bring about their transformation.
"A master-servant contract, then."
The pink little rabbit lay on Jiang Nannan's head, completely devoid of sentience.
If it weren't for Iliex, perhaps Soul Spirit would not have appeared in Douluo Continent even after ten thousand more years of development.
This was the product of a big shot combining knowledge from two Worlds.
Douluo Continent did not have such a thing as contracts; Spirit was indeed a very clear path to the extraordinary, but this also limited the diversification of extraordinary professions.
"Other contracts can also work; contracts merely provide a link.
A master-servant contract is more convenient, preventing the Soul Spirit from resisting the Spirit Master's commands."
An Zhen remembered that contracting a Soul Spirit required mutual willingness.
Spirit Beast willing to sign a master-servant contract.
What a scam.
But I am human.
