Chapter 22 - Chapter Twenty-Two: Assessment (Part Two)

"Uh..." Jin Bao was at a loss for words for a moment. The examiner behind Jin Bao suddenly spoke, "You're Jin Bao, right? This is the assessment site for the control system. If you want to be assessed for the attack system, you've come to the wrong place. For the next assessment, demonstrate the control effects of your Spirit and Spirit Abilities; otherwise, even with level twenty-seven spirit power, you still won't pass."

Jin Bao replied, "Yes! Teacher!"

He had also wanted to demonstrate a control effect just now, but the teacher opposite him hadn't infused any spirit power into the metal ball at all. He either had to wait for the metal ball to fly into the control range of his First Spirit Skill to activate it, or he could only do it this way.

"Get ready!" the teacher opposite him said as he opened the cage and gave it a hard slap.

Three rabbits instantly rushed out, darting off in three different directions.

Because this time the teacher had released them from the center of the field, and at that position, there was also the ball that had fallen on the ground earlier.

Gauging the direction, Jin Bao quickly released his First Spirit Skill.

Released three times, three pieces of Money instantly completed their transformation. Three sharp spikes sliced the three rabbits in half crosswise.

"Uh! Teacher, I..." Jin Bao swore he really just wanted to create something for the rabbits to run into and knock themselves out, but he hadn't expected the rabbits' bodies to be so fragile.

"Alright, your assessment is over," another examiner's voice came from behind.

Jin Bao felt truly dejected at this moment because he understood he had failed this part of the assessment.

"Wait a minute!" the teacher who had just been responsible for throwing the ball and releasing the rabbits suddenly said.

"Muluofu, you are an examiner now, not a student. Mind the rules!" The seated examiner stood up abruptly.

Muluofu said, "I think we should look at the effects of his two Spirit Abilities. There should normally be such a step, shouldn't there?"

"Two Spirit Abilities for two types of situations, and he has already released one of them. It's obvious his Spirit Abilities aren't suitable for being a Control System Soul Master. Muluofu, don't think that the situation with your Stun Hammer can occur in just any Spirit Master."

"Then I apply for a Spirit Ability Detection!" Muluofu said with his arms crossed.

"Are you sure?" This examiner's tone also became more serious.

"I'm sure! At worst, I'll forfeit the points from this mission. I believe that what happened with my Spirit can happen with other Spirits!" Muluofu said, glancing at Jin Bao.

"Fine! Candidate, please release your Spirit Abilities and give a brief introduction of their effects on control!" This examiner looked at Jin Bao.

Jin Bao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay, Teacher!"

"My First Spirit Skill is Money Shield, but it's an energy-based shield, so its form can be changed through the amount of spirit power I input and mental control. The direct control distance is currently ten meters, with a maximum distance of twenty meters in a single direction." As he spoke, not only did the Money Shield appear in Jin Bao's hand, but it also continuously shifted into various forms.

"Because the strength of my First Spirit Skill after shaping is related to how much spirit power I inject, once a target is controlled, it will be very difficult to break free."

Jin Bao spoke as he transformed the energy shield into a shape like handcuffs.

As a result, that examiner directly reached out to grab the energy handcuffs Jin Bao had created. Seeing this, Jin Bao hurriedly increased the injection of spirit power. It wasn't until he had injected one-fifth of his total spirit power that the teacher let go.

"How much spirit power did you inject?"

Jin Bao replied, "One-fifth."

"The Second Spirit Ability."

Jin Bao said, "Yes! My Second Spirit Ability is called Money Corrosion. Items touched by the Money created by my Spirit or the energy shield will undergo energy erosion as my Second Spirit Ability is released. Without spirit power protection, it will erode the physical body; with spirit power protection, it will erode the spirit power and continuously consume the opponent's physical strength."

The examiner held out his hand, "Use it on me."

Jin Bao controlled the handcuffs to fit onto his hand, then activated his Second Spirit Ability.

"Teacher, if you don't defend yourself like this, I can also control the handcuffs to deform and pierce into your body, enhancing the consumption and corrosion capabilities."

This effect was something Jin Bao had developed half a year ago, though at the time he felt this move could only be used to bully people who had no ability to resist. After all, against someone with spirit power, he wouldn't be able to pierce them like this, right?

"Not bad. Take it back!" This examiner actually showed a satisfied expression. He nodded and sat down, then finished processing Jin Bao's student ID and handed it to him.

"Go collect your things!"

Holding the student ID, Jin Bao was still a bit dazed as he walked out of the examination room. It seemed that teacher was just very responsible, not unreasonable. However, that teacher named Muluofu was truly kind. Hearing them talk just now, it seemed he was still a student; Jin Bao would find a chance to thank him properly in the future!

Thinking to himself, Jin Bao soon arrived at the place to collect basic supplies like school uniforms.

After the teacher in charge there glanced at Jin Bao's student ID, a Tape Measure began measuring Jin Bao's body on its own.

"Sister Lili, there's a student with a special physique here. Come take a look!"

Soon, a woman in her thirties walked out from a nearby room. After seeing Jin Bao, she glanced at the data the teacher had just compiled.

She reached out and grabbed Jin Bao's arm. "This is caused by your Spirit, isn't it? In about half a year, your physique should return to normal. Leave one gold coin for now, and I'll help you alter your clothes for free when the time comes."

Jin Bao didn't dare say much and put down a gold coin.

Immediately afterward, the first two spirit rings on the woman called Sister Lili lit up.

A bolt of cloth appeared in her hand. Then, under the effect of the two spirit rings, it first wrapped around Jin Bao's body, and then, as if a pair of hands were kneading clay, it was molded into a shape that suited his physique. Finally, one piece of clothing became two; one fell into Jin Bao's hand, and the other was taken back by her.

Although it was an Advanced Spirit Master Academy, it still wasn't single-occupancy rooms. The accommodation was a separate building complex where each room could house two people, with private toilets and shower areas, and the two shared a living room.

When Jin Bao entered, the other roommate had not yet arrived.

After packing his things, Jin Bao went to the cafeteria.

It was divided into three floors: the bottom floor had ordinary set meals, the middle floor had specialty dishes, and the top floor had nutritional meals. There were no so-called restrictions because everything consumed in the academy used points. Although gold coins could be exchanged for points, there was only one chance per month, and there was a limit on the amount.

There was an extra discount for the first exchange of points. Jin Bao spent one hundred gold coins to exchange for one thousand points. Because he knew his own appetite, he sighed after glancing at the meal prices on the second floor.

'I might have to worry about the problem of eating in the future!'
