Chapter Fifteen: Soul Force Micro Manipulation

  The end of the world didn't come, and I'm left with an empty heart...

  This also means that I have to take the English proficiency test, and if I don't pass, then I won't be able to graduate... Waaaahhhh!!!! That's the real doomsday!!!!!

  ————————————

  By noon, Zong Yin was still staggering and struggling to take steps, occasionally falling into the water. Many people who saw this scene couldn't help but mock him again in their hearts. What they didn't notice was that unlike before, Zong Yin's feet were now completely on the surface of the water, rather than being submerged up to his ankles like at first.

  No matter which world it is, there will always be a genius. Someone has already found a simple way to walk on water. It's similar to when Zong Yin first stood on the surface of the water. The person forms two round soul force shields under their feet, about the size of a washbasin, and walks quickly without sinking into the water.

  As soon as he saw this, Zong Yin disdainfully pursed his lips. Isn't it just an enlarged version of the soul shield that can withstand pressure? Isn't it similar to the thought of the first lotus-shaped soul shield he formed?

  There is a person who has found a way, and countless people follow suit. All you see on the water's surface are people walking quickly. The ones who learned this method first were mostly boys, and their purpose was simple: to help those girls who didn't know how yet. As for the reason, just look at the countless swimsuits that have been thrown onto the shore by some beasts...

  There was a girl who looked very strong and stood steadily on the water's surface without the help of boys, which gave Zong Yin a great inspiration.

  She too had difficulty standing at first, but she didn't panic. She formed a circle of soul power shield around her body on the water surface, with countless pillars of soul power extending from her waist. When her body tilted, she would use force to support the pillars and stabilize her body. It was surprisingly similar to the principle of the baby walker that Zong Yin had seen before.

  Zong Yin was not stupid and had a good method. He decisively imitated it, and instantly the frequency of him falling into the water decreased by countless times.

  In just three hours, Zong Yin had already learned the water-walking method of Hei Sen. Although his grasp of timing might not be as accurate as Hei Sen's, and he would often have half a foot submerged in the water before floating back up, he had genuinely grasped the essence of Hei Sen's technique.

  The more he practiced, the more Zong Yin felt that this water surface walking method wasn't as simple as it looked. After careful consideration, he guessed the true purpose of this method, which was to destroy!

  If it can instantly form countless bubbles under its feet and accurately enter the invisible gaps in the water, why not form countless sharp needles that pierce into human pores?

  With the power of a Soul Master, exploding these small soul force bubbles shouldn't be difficult. Many parts of the human body are fragile and vulnerable; if these explosive soul force bubbles were to be sent into certain critical areas of the body, once they explode, it's likely that one would immediately lose all fighting strength.

  The more he thought about it, the colder Zong Yin became. The moment he imagined countless tiny bubbles entering his brain through his pores and his head bursting open like a watermelon smashed on the ground, he felt a little dizzy.

  "What's there to fear? As long as the density of your soul shield is high enough, can the enemy's soul power seep in? And you think this method is easy to control; I'm afraid even among soul masters, few have such fine control. That black gorilla may look like a brute, but it's actually meticulous and a master of soul power micro-control."

  Hun Yu took one look at Zong Yin's fearful appearance and said with a tone of disdain, "You're really inexperienced."

  Zong Yin's face fell as soon as he heard Hun Yu say that Hei Sen had meticulous thoughts, but no matter how he looked at it, Hei Sen didn't seem like a meticulous person, and instead seemed more like a lecherous black gorilla.

  It wasn't until the evening when school let out that Hei Sen returned with a worried look on his face. However, the moment he stepped through the door, he wiped away all expression and put back on his usual sly demeanor.

  Heisen saw that two-thirds of the students were already running on the water, and his mood suddenly improved. The previous annoyance was gone. As for the remaining one-third of the students, it wasn't that they were inferior, but rather their swimsuits had been thrown onto the shore by some beasts, and they huddled together, not daring to show their heads.

  "Haha! Alright, for the next two days, everyone will practice intensively on their own, I won't be supervising. Students who think they can walk on water already don't need to come, but three days later, I'll be testing you, and those who fail... Hehe, alright, class dismissed!"

  Hei Sen was like a whirlwind, instantly sweeping away all the girls' swimsuits on the shore, disappearing without a trace, leaving only his voice echoing in their ears. The response to him was the screams of countless girls and the curses of countless boys.

  Zong Yin flattened his mouth again, without noticing anything unusual about Hei Sen's thoughts, and climbed ashore by himself. He was the first to walk out of the classroom with a dazed expression.

  A day's practice had already made him dizzy and his spiritual energy exhausted to the extreme, the high-intensity soul manipulation making his mental strength tired to the limit, if he continued, Zong Yin had no doubt that he would collapse mentally.

  Looking at the others' unresponsive expressions, Zong Yin realized that using soul power to make micro-attacks was not as simple as he had imagined. He had only used it to practice the simplest water surface walking and it had already left him exhausted, let alone applying it to attacks, which would put an even greater burden on his spiritual energy.

  Back to the dormitory, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down. The next day, the class bell was very humane and did not vibrate again to ask him to attend classes. Zong Yin slept until almost noon before waking up.

  "This soul power micro-control consumption is really huge, the soul power is fine, but for spiritual power..."

  Zong Yin rubbed his temples, and although his head was still dizzy, following the principle of balancing work and rest, Zong Yin decided to give himself a day off today, then he dived into the library.

  After he formed the Human Soul Stone, an idea had already risen in his heart. To know that after forming a soul stone, one can cultivate soul techniques. The difference between a soul master of the same level with and without soul techniques is like the difference between a wild chicken and a phoenix, completely incomparable.

  Zong Yin sat excitedly at his desk, his soul power bursting out of his body and transforming into countless large and small hands that grabbed books related to soul techniques and brought them before him. He flipped through the pages one by one, putting some back as he realized the importance of controlling his soul power after a moment of enlightenment.

  According to Hun Yu's words, it means that he wants to make controlling his soul power a kind of instinct, so that he can be stronger than others.

  The introduction of various soul techniques broadened Zong Yin's horizons, the combat-type martial soul techniques were still within his expectations, but the auxiliary and healing-type soul techniques left him astonished, with their bizarre functions, many of which he couldn't even imagine.

  At first he was full of excitement, but slowly he became disappointed again. The reason is simple: the soul techniques that can be placed here for free study are all some common goods, and their power is naturally weak.

  Almost a thousand volumes of Gray Star Soul Technique and over a hundred volumes of White Star Soul Technique, Zong Yin wouldn't casually pick one to cultivate.

  Each soul stone can only hold two soul techniques, and once a technique is learned, it cannot be changed. Moreover, except for a few legendary soul techniques, 99% of soul techniques are non-upgradeable, and their level is fixed. This is also the reason why many Soul Masters have already condensed their third or fourth soul stone, but only know three or four soul techniques. No one wants to waste their limited technique slots on low-level techniques, and Zong Xuan is no exception.

  He let out a long sigh, and with a flick of his wrist, the "Soul Technique Compendium" floated in front of him. A small hand made of soul energy flipped through its pages continuously. After roughly six hours of browsing, Zong Yin finally finished reading it, and he also had a general direction for the soul technique he wanted.

  What made him feel incredible was that the content he had seen before was printed in his mind in great detail, without a single forgetfulness, as if he had read it countless times. After thinking about it for a moment, Zong Yin realized that this must be another benefit brought by the formation of the Human Soul Stone. If he had such an ability in his previous life, he probably wouldn't have ended up so miserable.

  "The Soul Technique Encyclopedia" is a book whose author is unknown, and it records nearly 30,000 soul techniques in total. Among them, auxiliary and therapeutic techniques account for more than half, while low-level soul techniques are introduced in relatively more detail. Those red-starred and above soul techniques often only have brief descriptions.

  But what surprised Zong Yin the most was the last sentence. "This book is not yet complete, and I hope that like-minded scholars will add to it."

  Zong Yin decided to put off practicing soul techniques for the time being, adopting a principle of "it's better to lack than to be excessive". He would wait until he had the opportunity to find a soul technique that suited his heart and then slowly cultivate it. However, those high-level soul techniques required materials that were hard to come by! The material cost for just one Green Star soul technique was at least 500 gold coins, and yet the Zong Manor only gave him an annual living allowance of 100 gold coins!

  Six hours of uninterrupted use of soul power, although not as exhausting as micro-manipulating soul power, still depleted the limited amount of soul power within Zong Yin's body. He put away the books on his desk and decided to go back and rest.

  "Are you looking for a suitable soul skill?"
