[Power of the Sun]: Legend has it that this is a blessing bestowed by the sun itself. Under sunny conditions, special attacks (fire-type elemental attacks) are greatly enhanced, but the user's soul power will continuously drain over time!
Yin Zhang finished reading the description. Although it differed slightly from the Power of the Sun he remembered, the discrepancy didn't matter much.
As for the drawback—that his soul power would steadily decrease while the Power of the Sun trait was active—Yin Zhang simply ignored it.
With the Holy Grail in his possession, this weakness was nothing to worry about.
With this, his chances of defeating Qiangu Yunying had increased dramatically!
Yin Zhang opened his attribute panel.
[Host]: Yin Zhang
[Age]: 10
[Spirit]: Charizard
[Soul Power]: Level 33
[Soul Rings]: Purple, Purple, Purple
[Soul Skills]: Dragon Claw, Double Team, Azure Flame Shield (soul ring), Flamethrower, Fire Dragon Evasion Kill (soul ring), Dragon Tail, Crimson Flame Roar (soul ring)
[Soul Bone]: None
[Items]: Charcoal (buff), Holy Grail (equipped), Charizard X Mega Stone (equipped)
[Storage]: Soul Bone Age Promotion Card (500 years), [Power of the Sun · Trait Card]
In his mind, Yin Zhang silently chose to use the [Power of the Sun · Trait Card].
[Congratulations to the host for successfully using the Power of the Sun · Trait Card!
New soul skills awakened: Sunny Day, Solar Beam.
A trait column has been added to the attribute panel!]
[Traits]: Blaze, Power of the Sun
(Blaze had appeared before—slightly adjusted here: under the Blaze trait, the lower the stamina, the stronger the soul skills become!)
[Soul Skills]: Dragon Claw, Double Team, Azure Flame Shield (soul ring), Flamethrower, Fire Dragon Evasion Kill (soul ring), Dragon Tail, Crimson Flame Roar (soul ring), Sunny Day, Solar Beam
[Sunny Day]: Weather-type soul skill. Releases a blazing sphere of light into the sky that detonates, forcibly turning the surroundings into sunny weather!
[Solar Beam]: Also known as Solar Beam. Grass-type soul skill. A charge-type attack that requires no charging under sunny conditions, firing an extremely powerful beam!
Sunny Day—a weather-type soul skill. With it, even in rainy conditions, Yin Zhang could forcibly create sunshine to suit himself!
Solar Beam was an extremely powerful Grass-type soul skill, giving him a highly effective attack option of this nature. In the future, he would have no fear when facing water-attribute Soul Masters—one Solar Beam would be enough to send them straight to the afterlife (doge).
Yin Zhang's confidence surged. The System was clearly backing him!
Knock, knock—
While the students were listening to the lecture in Elite Class One, Qiangu Yuan gently knocked on the door. The classroom instantly fell silent.
The instructor glanced outside and smiled.
"Students, just as I mentioned earlier, we may soon have a ten-year-old classmate joining us. Now, let's take a look."
He was in excellent spirits. Yin Zhang was the disciple of the Second Consecrator and only ten years old—he would definitely remain in this class for many years.
After all, the Elite Tournament rules stated that participants must be under twenty-five. Yin Zhang still had nearly fifteen years ahead of him. This was practically handing him a perfect seedling!
"Whoosh—"
The middle-aged man walked to the door, opened it gently, and immediately smiled when he saw Qiangu Yuan. The wrinkles on his face made him look particularly kind.
"Dean Qiangu, you're finally here."
"And Yunying—this must be the little genius of Spirit Hall Academy, Yin Zhang, right?"
"Hello, I'm Wu Deqing, homeroom teacher of Elite Class One. I'm a level seventy-three attack-type Spirit Saint. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be your homeroom teacher in the future! Hahaha."
Wu Deqing smiled warmly.
"Hello, Teacher Wu."
Yin Zhang replied politely.
"Mm."
Qiangu Yuan smiled faintly and led the two inside.
The moment they entered the classroom, some students recognized Qiangu Yuan. As for Yin Zhang, they didn't recognize him personally—after all, he hadn't studied on the main campus—but everyone had heard of him.
"Ahem, let me introduce him. This is Yin Zhang."
Wu Deqing was all smiles, while Yin Zhang wore a slightly shy expression.
After a round of uneven applause, Wu Deqing handed Yin Zhang a white sheet of paper listing the rankings of Elite Class One.
Leaning closer, Wu Deqing whispered,
"Xiao Zhang, which one do you choose—"
Before he could finish, Yin Zhang pointed directly at the student ranked second—marked as a level fifty Soul Ancestor—and said calmly,
"I choose him."
Wu Deqing froze. Qiangu Yuan stepped forward to take a look and couldn't help but smile wryly.
He whispered,
"He's always been like this. Just let him fight. If he loses, we'll discuss it afterward."
Wu Deqing nodded with a smile.
"Very well then. Zhou Wu, come with us."
As they left the classroom, shocked voices immediately erupted behind them.
"Damn, this kid is way too arrogant! He went straight for Zhou Wu!"
"You should know Zhou Wu just broke through to level fifty! If he'd had time to hunt a soul ring, he'd already be the second Spirit King in the academy!"
"Sure, his talent is insane—but isn't this too much?"
"Hey, I wanted to mock him too, but better wait for the result. Back when Sister Yunying joined our class, I thought she couldn't beat Zhou Wu either. In the end, Zhou Wu was beaten until he couldn't fight back at all… Let's wait and see."
"Hahaha—thinking about that still cracks me up…"
Zhou Wu, twenty-three years old this year, possessed the Iron-Armored Raging Bear spirit—combining both offense and defense. With the optimal configuration of two yellow and two purple soul rings, he had only recently broken through to level fifty. Aside from Qiangu Yunying, he was the strongest student in Elite Class One—and arguably in Spirit Hall Academy.
Walking out of the classroom with a frown, Zhou Wu looked at Yin Zhang, who was more than a head shorter than him, and thought to himself:
This kid is seriously arrogant. When Sister Yunying beat me back then, she was at least already a Soul Ancestor. And I'm not the same Zhou Wu as before—I'm just one soul ring away from becoming the academy's second Spirit King.
Forget it. Let's talk after the fight. It'd be embarrassing if I ended up getting slapped in the face.
"Zhou Wu, right?"
Qiangu Yuan turned with a smile.
"Yes, Dean Qiangu. I am Zhou Wu."
"Mm, good. Next, you'll be sparring with Yin Zhang. Xiao Zhang is young and a bit overconfident—remember to go easy on him."
"Yes."
Zhou Wu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Hello, Zhou Wu. My name is Yin Zhang. I'm ten years old. My spirit is Charizard, a level thirty-three attack-type Soul Elder. Please guide me in our upcoming match."
As he spoke, Yin Zhang extended his fair, slender right hand.
The two hands clasped together—forming a stark contrast in both size and presence.
