Chapter 9: First appeal to emotions, then discuss interests

Although King Yan did not care, he still accepted it. After taking a glance, his pupils constricted: "This... this is what you have researched."

After obtaining Wang Linchi's gift of the soul skill · Soul Seed Boiling, which underwent a ten-thousandfold amplification, not only were the original side effects eliminated, but it also enhanced all levels of soul seeds and was no longer limited to a single soul seed. It even transformed into a passive skill

"Here, this is the soul skill I have developed." Wang Linchi handed over a sheet of paper

However, the external performance shows only a potential of 4

In the impression of King Yan of the Underworld, Wang Linchi should choose a major in administrative logistics, after all, his soul type is general and has no particular function

"As long as it is useful, that is enough, but this should be the only copy," Wang Linchi appeared somewhat pleased, yet also a bit helpless. "If I can successfully apply for the Soul Refinement Technique this time, and if my mental strength increases a bit more, perhaps I could further improve it, enhancing the boiling effect from an additional 10% to an additional 20%"

The two individuals have some overlap, but it is not significant.

"Be modest, be modest." Yan Mingwang also showed a bit of humility, and then looked at Wang, who was holding a considerable number of books in his hands. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that they were all related to soul forms and soul species. He then asked with some confusion, "Are you helping to move books?"

"You really are ... ... " Yan Mingwang had nothing much to say, as he saw Wang Linchi searching for something.

Upon hearing this, Yan Mingwang also developed a considerable fondness for Wang Linchi, as he spoke very frankly. Moreover, they were classmates, even though they had not actually interacted much.

"Indeed, what a pity. I cannot use it, as I lack the Soul Refinement Method, and my mental strength will only ever be 1 point in my lifetime," Wang Linchi said with a hint of melancholy.

"It's nothing, after graduation, I will sell this soul skill to the academy, and I will definitely be able to exchange it for a good position," Wang Linchi said with great excitement. "By then, my old classmate, you will surely have a bright future, so you have to help me out, right"

"Yes, it is me. I thought that after you became a busy person, you would forget about me," Wang Linchi teased, and then complimented, "You are now a well-known figure in our Qinghe Academy, the chief of combat."

This is not due to his disguise, but rather the test conducted by m.hetushu.com in the county city is to capture the potential before the increase.

On the way back to the dormitory, Yan Mingwang heard a voice, and then turned back in confusion. He soon saw a familiar figure and quickly remembered: "It's you, Wang Linchi"

He has a mental strength of 1.5, but naturally, he cannot say this out loud, as everyone starts with 1. If you have an extra 0.5, wouldn't that make it seem like there is something wrong with you? After all, Wang Linchi is not from a prominent family, so it is unlikely for him to have such an advantage.

[Soul Skill · Soul Type Boiling LV1 (0 / 0): Permanently increases the effects of all soul types by 10%]

Instead, King Yan was somewhat amused and bewildered: "Did you really speak so bluntly when trying to curry favor with others?"

On the day of his awakening, Yan Mingwang obtained the soul manifestation of a Level 4 Potential Profession: Wanderer. However, he simultaneously acquired a ten-thousandfold amplification system, which enhanced his original soul manifestation to a Level 9 Potential Profession: Omnipotent King.

The ten-thousandfold amplification system is indeed impressive, but unfortunately, upgrading cannot rely on skill enhancement; I can only have Wang Linchi assist me in perfecting it

I need to find a suitable and high-potential soul forging technique for this old classmate of mine from the library. Naturally, Yan Mingwang must also put in his utmost effort for this powerful soul skill

"That is for sure; I will definitely arrange a good seat for you then!" Yan Mingwang spoke these words sincerely, as Wang Linchi had indeed provided him with benefits.

"Don't rush, I've come up with something good. Just happened to run into you, thought I'd flatter you a bit. After all, you are a person of great influence, and I hope you can look out for me a little more in the future." Wang Linchi said this without any hint of embarrassment

Before awakening, it was all about physical endurance; apart from the time spent in the classroom learning to read, most of the time was dedicated to training

We are indeed desk mates, so it's better to be straightforward. Wang Linchi analyzed Yan Mingwang's character, which is why he didn't play any tricks.

Although he felt that Wang Linchi might not be able to obtain anything of value, he accepted it nonetheless, given the other party's goodwill

Wang Linchi wants to apply, but this is simply impossible. The other party has neither background nor potential, and Qinghe Academy will never grant him the Soul Refinement Method.

After the two of them reminisced for a while, they finally parted ways.

"I will accept this soul skill; I owe you a favor," Yan Mingwang said with a serious expression

Upon hearing this, King Yan of the Underworld could not help but feel secretly astonished, yet he did not show it on his face. Instead, he asked nonchalantly, "Do you have confidence in this?"

"No, my specialty is soul resonance and soul types. This is just some books to take back and read," Wang Linchi did not conceal.

I see, then you go ahead with your work, I have other matters to attend to. Yan Mingwang had little desire to converse with Wang Linchi; for him, the two were not on the same level and there was no need for excessive communication

Being able to strike is the key

At this moment, Yan Mingwang's eyes flickered as he contemplated sending Wang Linchi a soul-forging technique.

The black market sells everything; it is a good place for disposing of stolen goods, whether it be soul types, soul skills, or soul forging methods

However, it cannot be openly given; the Soul Forging Technique cannot be circulated in the open.

Compared to students like Wang Linchi, his level of exposure is different from that of Yan Mingwang. He is not only able to exchange various soul refining techniques through credits at Qinghe Academy, but he can also access the black market

Yama, the King of Hell, nodded slightly. He had no impression of this specialty, nor did he have many thoughts about it. For him or for the entire world, these were trivial matters of little significance. What use would further research serve? Such things that hinder combat effectiveness were not something they needed to consider, especially since they could be produced in the secret realms.

The drawbacks are also quite evident; any improvement can only be achieved through the research and development of Wang Linchi

It has been nearly half a year since we last met, and given that Yan Mingwang meets many people and has gained quite a few beautiful confidantes, my impression of Wang Linchi has also become quite vague.

Yama, the King of Hell, has visited many times; each time he goes, it is naturally to dispose of stolen goods. After all, there are quite a few people who are dissatisfied with him and wish to ambush him as a result

Yama, the King of Hell? It really is you

That is indeed a great pity, but the court and the academy do not permit the private dissemination of the Soul Forging Method; otherwise, I would have taught it to you

Yes, but my mental strength is too low to ensure it. Moreover, if my mental strength were sufficient, perhaps the side effects could also be eliminated. However, compared to enhancing the effects, eliminating the side effects is more challenging," Wang Linchi sighed as he spoke.

If I succeed, I will have someone bring you over to collect it
