4: Ye Yan

Both systems have different focuses; in the early stages, Spirit Masters who prioritize their own strength are more powerful, and their improvement is also very convenient.

In the later stages, Spirit Masters who command Battle Spirits are more powerful.

There are also those who combine the two, not only possessing Battle Spirits of extremely high quality but also being very powerful themselves.

However, doing so requires a large amount of resources and exceptional talent.

Compared to the Spirit Master's own improvement, the difficulty of improving a Battle Spirit is simple in the early stages but very great in the later stages.

While the Spirit Master's own improvement is simple in the early stages, it becomes difficult in the later stages, but there is still a difference in difficulty compared to improving a Battle Spirit.

Theoretically, all Spirits can be infinitely improved to reach colorful quality.

However, currently, no Spirit Master has been able to reach this level; the strongest Lu Qianyuan knows of is someone who elevated a white Battle Spirit to golden.

It is said that the resources consumed were enough to elevate a purple Battle Spirit to a golden Battle Spirit five times over.

The lower the quality of the Spirit, the more stringent the conditions for its improvement, and the more precious the Materials required.

Weak and sickly, needing expensive food.

Low-quality Battle Spirits are probably like this.

Therefore, most people do not raise low-level Battle Spirits; at most, they are used for transition in the early stages.

From this, it is clear that the selection of one's Natal Spirit is extremely important.

A Spirit Master's Natal Spirit generally cannot be changed; if one wishes to change it, a heavy price must be paid, and special Materials are needed as a medium.

Most Spirit Masters cannot meet these conditions.

Of course, Spirit Masters who can meet these conditions would not choose a low-level Battle Spirit as their Natal Spirit.

Lu Qianyuan browsed the Martial Skill stall for a while; there were many Martial Skills here, but their quality was generally mediocre.

Martial Skills are divided into seven levels, from highest to lowest: S, A, B, C, D, E, F.

And the proficiency levels for Martial Skills are divided into: Beginner, Proficient, Mastered, Major Achievement, Perfect, and Divine.

By type, Martial Skills are further divided into Elemental Martial Skills and Body Martial Skills; the former requires Awakening the corresponding elemental talent, while the latter has no such requirements, and anyone with a complete body can learn them.

Lu Qianyuan has no elemental talent; he has no elemental affinity, which means Lu Qianyuan cannot learn Elemental Martial Skills and can only learn Body Martial Skills.

However, Lu Qianyuan is not very concerned about this; with Rebirth, even without elemental abilities, he does not care.

Even with only Body Martial Skills, he is not worried at all.

As long as he raises his physical strength to the extreme, allowing himself to exert all his power, his powerful Mental Energy will show everyone what despair means.

The street stalls only had F-level and E-level Martial Skills; there wasn't a single D-level or higher Martial Skill.

Lu Qianyuan casually looked around and quickly picked an E-level Martial Skill called Gang Niu Fist Technique.

In his opinion, Martial Skills are all about the application of Origin Qi within the body.

The only difference lies in how much Origin Qi is used and the efficiency of its use.

Perhaps some Advanced Martial Skills utilize external forces, but Lu Qianyuan currently has no access to them.

Lu Qianyuan spent fifty silver coins and successfully bought this Gang Niu Fist Technique from the owner.

Low-level Martial Skills are basically sold in bulk; you can buy them with a little money.

After all, they don't have much intrinsic value; they are basic, meant for popularization, but later on, they require some money.

The main difficulty with Martial Skills is that they are very hard to learn, relying entirely on the Spirit Master's own talent; some Martial Skills even require absorbing special Materials, which is the most troublesome part.

However, the Gang Niu Fist Technique in Lu Qianyuan's hand is simple and easy to understand: it uses Origin Qi to circulate through several specific Meridians, then uses Origin Qi to empower the fist, allowing one to unleash a punch imbued with immense power.

Simple and easy to understand.

Lu Qianyuan likes such straightforward things the most; his past experiences as a 'cow and horse' made him particularly averse to troublesome requirements.

Lu Qianyuan looked at the Gang Niu Fist Technique in his hand while eating snacks.

Before long, he finished reading the Gang Niu Fist Technique in his hand.

The content of the Martial Skill was very simple, and Lu Qianyuan quickly memorized it relying on his powerful Mental Energy.

He briefly simulated it in his mind and quickly grasped the essentials of the Gang Niu Fist Technique, easily learning this E-level Martial Skill.

During the time he was trapped in the Land of Nothingness, Lu Qianyuan's only method of relaxation was to simulate other characters talking to himself in his mind.

Sometimes, when he was tired, he would even simulate another person talking to others, while he watched from the side.

At most, Lu Qianyuan simulated hundreds of millions of people simulating a war between two Empires.

However, in reality, he was just fighting himself, and fighting back and forth was meaningless.

So, simulating himself Cultivating the Gang Niu Fist Technique in his mind was a piece of cake for him.

If he needed to, he could directly simulate tens of thousands of himself Cultivating in his mind, mastering it instantly.

However, this fist technique had no difficulty, so Lu Qianyuan's efficiency was the same whether he simulated one or ten thousand.

Lu Qianyuan returned to the stall owner and returned the Gang Niu Fist Technique he had in his hand.

The stall owner refused, stating that it had already been sold and he would not take it back.

Finally, Lu Qianyuan offered to sell it to him for twenty, and only then did the stall owner reluctantly accept it.

Lu Qianyuan, having gained twenty silver coins, was in a good mood; saving twenty yuan meant he could buy more snacks.

Lu Qianyuan continued to sell snacks and wander through the night market, and before he knew it, he arrived at a stall selling Battle Spirits.

The Battle Spirits here were all Gray quality; there wasn't a single white one.

However, relying on his powerful Mental Energy, Lu Qianyuan quickly pinpointed a somewhat special Gray Battle Spirit.

Through his powerful Mental Energy, Lu Qianyuan was able to confirm that this Gray Battle Spirit was unique.

...

At the same time, on the other side of the night market, a black-clad young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome face, rushed into the night market.

The young man's name is Ye Yan, and he is a Rebirth.

In his previous life, through his own efforts, he became a ninth-rank Spirit Master, safeguarding the peace of District 50.

However, the strength of the alien races was immense; even if he could fight ten on one, the power of the alien races far exceeded their imagination.

He could fight ten, but there were ten thousand alien races.

Ultimately, the entire District 50 was destroyed, and he also died.

But for some unknown reason, he was Rebirth.

Now that he had a second chance, he would absolutely not allow the misfortunes of his previous life to unfold before his eyes again.

And he came here for a special Battle Spirit.

It was an orange Battle Spirit formed after a seventh-rank expert's demise, but due to damage, it had become a Gray Battle Spirit.

In his previous life, his Natal Spirit was only a white Battle Spirit; although he later replaced his Natal Spirit through special means, gaining the opportunity to impact higher levels, it also came at a great cost.

This time, with a Battle Spirit starting at such a high point, he naturally wouldn't let it slip away.

'According to the rumors I heard, this Battle Spirit should have been obtained by a desperate student, and only after he performed Fusion with it did he discover its secrets.'

'I hope the time of my Rebirth is early enough, and that Battle Spirit is still there...'

Ye Yan thought to himself, simultaneously quickening his pace towards the rumored stall.

...

Just as Lu Qianyuan reached out to pick up that Battle Spirit, the stall owner raised his hand to stop him.

"If you're not buying, don't touch it."

The stall owner was a fierce-looking middle-aged man; perhaps he had suffered some misfortune, which made his temper so bad.

Lu Qianyuan ignored his words and focused his gaze on the Battle Spirit he had sensed was unusual.
