Chapter 10: Spirit Master Development Direction: Characteristics of the Gu Lei Book

About two hours later.

The others were still Entering Stillness, but Nan Feiling, this little girl, had her eyelids twitching; in fact, she had already woken up, only pretending to still be in Meditation.

After all, she was a Princess of the Gu Lei Kingdom; it was one thing to not compare to her younger brother, but in her first Meditation session, she hadn't even lasted as long as those three slaves. If that got out, how could she still show her face? Not to mention that those three slaves were a bizarre combination of a brain-damaged person, a mute, and a lunatic—people she had always looked down upon and had always believed were unworthy of being by her brother's side.

If not for her father the King and mother the Queen telling her that these three people's martial souls and innate soul power were no worse than hers, she wouldn't even want to cultivate with them.

Lan Xue said with a half-smile, "Alright, do you think you can put on an act in front of me? If you're awake, then stand up. Do not feel unwilling just because you are not as good as others; you must know the principle that there is always someone better than you. Admitting one's temporary shortcomings is beneficial for one's own future."

Hearing Lan Xue's voice, Nan Feiling knew she had been discovered and stood up helplessly, "Yes, thank you for your guidance, Mother!"

"Princess Ling'er, take these two. Starting tomorrow, after you finish body tempering, consume the Vitality Orange and the Energy Apple. This way, you can enter cultivation with the best physique and a stronger mental state, and your deep Meditation time will also be longer." Old Zhang handed two pieces of fruit to Nan Feiling.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhang," Nan Feiling smiled sweetly. She dared not show even the slightest disrespect to this pivotal figure of the kingdom.

Otherwise, the next day, her little bottom would be beaten black and blue by the combined efforts of her father, her mother, and her birth mother.

"Alright, Ling'er, your cultivation is over. Go back and rest. Starting tomorrow, follow the method I taught you and perform this practice every day; you must not slack off!" Lan Xue instructed.

"Okay, um, Mother, can I wait here for my brother to wake up and go back with him?" Nan Feiling requested hopefully.

Regarding such a small matter, Lan Xue only replied indifferently with two words, "As you wish."

Old Zhang, however, silently looked at the little princess and secretly evaluated, "Although her temperament is still very immature and she has not realized that her own strength is the key, she is unconventional and already possesses a bit of intelligence."

This Princess Nan Feiling had been very attached to her younger brother Nan Feihuang since she was small. The deep bond between the siblings was real, but another factor was that after seeing the pasts of her two older sisters, she understood very well that the fate she would face in the future could largely be determined by Nan Feihuang.

As long as her relationship with Nan Feihuang was good, any fate she didn't want, Nan Feihuang could help her resolve.

About three hours later, Xun Yu and Lv Lingqi woke up, and then, in the fourth hour, it was Dian Wei and Nan Feihuang.

"To enter stillness for a full four hours on the first cultivation attempt—Dian Wei, because his intelligence is too low, has instead gained a Pure Heart, which is understandable. But I didn't expect Huang'er to be so outstanding in his comprehension of the techniques as well. Since that is the case, I have confidence in cultivating Huang'er to level 40 before he is fifteen, and level 50 by eighteen," Lan Xue thought to herself.

In fact, today, she just wanted to see the situation of these few people and prepare a cultivation plan for them.

Level 50 at eighteen is indeed worthy of being called a monster for the average person.

However, that would not satisfy Nan Feihuang; after all, he was a transmigrator and had his own plans.

Ending the day's cultivation, the sky grew late. After everyone finished dinner, they were told to rest early.

On the way back, Nan Feiling pouted and looked at Nan Feihuang with dissatisfaction, "Brother, Sister is unhappy!"

"What's wrong, Third Sister? In this palace, who would dare to bully you? Tell me, and I'll go beat them up for you!" Nan Feihuang laughed.

"It's you who are bullying me! From yesterday until now, Sister has already completed her Spirit Awakening for over twelve hours, and you haven't even offered to help Sister look at my Gu Lei Book to see what cultivation direction I should take in the future? You really don't care about Sister at all," Nan Feiling said jealously, "In your heart, now you only have those three slaves you picked up."

"Third Sister, you are not allowed to say that!" Nan Feihuang suddenly shouted sternly, "They are not slaves; like you, they are my family!"

"I—I know," Nan Feiling was startled. She had never seen her usually amiable brother look so serious. In that instant, it was as if she saw the angry Nan Tianchen and Lan Xue.

"I'm sorry, Brother. I spoke out of turn just now. Don't be angry. Actually, I was just jealous that you always care more about them than you do about your own sister."

"It's okay. I should also apologize. I'm sorry, Third Sister. I couldn't control myself just now and spoke to you in a harsh tone," Nan Feihuang retracted his serious expression and said with a smile, "By the way, Third Sister, you wanted me to help you consult on your martial soul cultivation, right? Then let me see it."

After all, she was just a little girl. Seeing that Nan Feihuang didn't seem angry at all and had even agreed to help her consult, she immediately became all smiles.

"Mm, here. Brother, hurry and help me look. My Gu Lei Book seems to record only Formation soul skills, with attack, control, and support. Which path should I take?" Nan Feiling handed her Gu Lei Book to Nan Feihuang and asked.

Nan Feihuang took her Gu Lei Book. The thickness of her book was not even one-twentieth of the Dunjia Heavenly Book, totaling only a mere thirty-some pages.

One page recorded one formation, equivalent to one soul skill, which needed to be activated using different Spirit Rings.

Compared to regular martial souls with fixed soul skills, the ability to freely choose soul skills from the book was the greatest and most unique advantage of the Gu Lei Book martial soul, and this was the key reason why the Gu Lei Book could be called one of the Top-level Spirits.

Even if the power of these soul skills was not too strong, with the help of free combinations and pairings, they could still achieve astonishing results.

Generally speaking, even if she cultivated to the Title Douluo level, she could only choose nine of them, so she had to be cautious.

"Profound Fire Formation, fire-attribute attack formation, requires fire-attribute Spirit Beast to activate. The higher the Spirit Ring age, the greater the power."

"Absolute Ice Formation, ice-attribute control formation, requires ice-attribute Spirit Beast to activate."

"Tailwind Formation, wind-attribute support formation, can increase the speed of all members, requires wind-attribute Spirit Beast to activate."

Nan Feihuang flipped through several pages; indeed, there were all kinds of formations.

"Sister, I suggest you can become a Control System Spirit Master, focusing on control, supplemented by some support soul skills. These formations will definitely have good effects. After all, when it comes to attack power, my Peerless Fangtian Halberd is already more than enough, so I will definitely be a Qiangong Xi. In the future, if we fight the enemy together, we can help each other," Nan Feihuang said, "However, this is just my personal opinion. The key lies with you, or you can also go ask Father for his opinion."

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother. I believe Father won't object either. In the future, Sister will be the best Control System Spirit Master who can help Brother!" Having received the feedback, Nan Feiling hopped and skipped with joy.
