"At least let me feel the process of cultivation."
After closing the system prompt, Chu Huan squeezed the beast crystal and closed his eyes gently.
Guided by the "Basic Soul Power Technique", as his soul power circulated, the beast crystal in Chu Huan's hand released a steady stream of energy that quickly flowed into his body through his hands.
Ten minutes later, with the help of the beast crystal, Chu Huan's soul power successfully increased by a point.
When the soul power rose again, reaching a total of 200 points, Chu Huan's soul power suddenly trembled and surged towards the two Artifact Souls in his consciousness.
After enveloping the two Artifact Souls, as if being pulled, the erhu and suona-shaped Artifact Souls originally in Chu Huan's consciousness were slowly pulled out and entered his body, stopping on the left and right sides of his ventricles respectively.
At the same time, the system's prompt echoed in Chu Huan's mind.
"Congratulations, host. You have entered the rank of 1-Star Awakened Apprentice. Artifact Soul Skill is unlocking."
After the voice appeared, Chu Huan waited for almost half a minute before the system's prompt sounded again in his head.
"Please select an Artifact Soul Skill to unlock."
As the system prompt ended, Chu Huan instinctively chose the suona residing in his left ventricle.
"Selection confirmed. Do you wish to spend 1000 system points to unlock the suona skill?"
"What? 1000 system points?"
At present, Chu Huan's total system points were only 90.
Unlocking an Artifact Soul Skill requires 1000 points? Is this a joke?
After grimacing, Chu Huan focused his gaze on the Bronze 1-Star beast crystal in his hand.
"You gotta spend money to make money."
Gritting his teeth, Chu Huan began absorbing the Bronze 1-Star beast crystal through the system.
A minute later, as the cracks spread across the beast crystal, turning it into a waste, Chu Huan's system points increased from 90 to 1080.
"2,000 dollars, five months' worth of living expenses, gone just like that!"
Glancing at the waste crystal in his hand, Chu Huan couldn't help but grimace.
After shaking his head, Chu Huan once again directed his attention to the system.
With sufficient system points, Chu Huan directly chose to unlock the Artifact Soul Skill.
As the freshly earned system points dwindled from four digits to two, the suona in Chu Huan's left ventricle trembled.
The next second, a special wave emanated from the suona in Chu Huan's ventricle.
"Congratulations, host. You have successfully unlocked the Artifact Soul Skill of the suona - The March of the Coffin Bearers."
As the prompt echoed, Chu Huan's system panel also underwent corresponding changes.
"Host: Chu Huan"
"HP: 180/180"
"Level: 1-Star Awakened Apprentice - Soul Power needed for upgrade: 200/400"
"Artifact Souls: erhu, suona"
"Constitution: 1.8 (Base standard is 1) - (+)"
"Strength: 1.6 (Base standard is 1) - (+)"
"Agility: 1.7 (Base standard is 1) - (+)"
"Mental Strength: 2.32 (Base standard is 1) - (+)"
"Artifact Soul Skill: suona - The March of the Coffin Bearers (Level 1), System points needed for upgrade: 0/1000"
"Auxiliary Skill: Basic Soul Power Technique"
"Current System Points: 80"
Taking a glance at his attributes, Chu Huan noticed a certain degree of improvement in each, though none were particularly significant.
After all, Chu Huan had just entered the rank of 1-Star Awakened Apprentice, so the improvement was naturally limited.
Now that he had an Artifact Soul Skill, he wondered what its function was.
With doubt in his heart, Chu Huan tentatively tapped on his newly acquired Artifact Soul Skill.
As Chu Huan tapped on the skill "The March of the Coffin Bearers", a smaller information panel popped out from the skill bar, detailing the abilities of this skill.
"The March of the Coffin Bearers: When successfully played, it will cause 10~100 HP damage to a normal target. If the corpse of a deceased target is intact, it will produce a special effect on the deceased target.
Note: This skill is affected by the skill level and the target's constitution."
"Eh? Artifact Soul Skills can also come with damage effects?"
Awakened Artifact Souls are divided into four categories.
The first is combat-type, encompassing both melee and ranged Artifact Souls.
The second is auxiliary-type, providing effects such as slowing, freezing, or detoxifying.
The third is healing-type, treating injuries of Awakened beings.
The fourth is special-type, unsuitable for combat and are only suitable for scientific research, construction, and other industries.
An auxiliary-type Artifact Soul like Chu Huan's to have a skill with damage effects, such cases are rare.
Reading the description, Chu Huan felt a sense of partial understanding.
The damage figures were clear, but what Chu Huan couldn't figure out was the meaning of the "special effect" mentioned in the system.
Chu Huan wanted to try out "The March of the Coffin Bearers."
However, according to the skill description, this extended skill could only be used when there was a target.
"Should I go to a secret realm and test it on a beast?"
But after some thought, Chu Huan shook his head and suppressed this suicidal idea.
Although there were secret realms near Linhai City, where Chu Huan lived, that were suitable for newly Awakened beings, even the lowest-level beasts were too dangerous.
For Chu Huan, an auxiliary-type Awakened being, venturing into a secret realm alone was undoubtedly dangerous.
Having lived two lives, Chu Huan was definitely maxed out on the "cherishing life" attribute.
Therefore, taking risks was absolutely out of the question.
Just to test a skill, why risk one's life?
But if not a beast, he needed something to test the skill.
After pondering for a long time, Chu Huan silently took out his phone and dialed his homeroom teacher's number.
Meanwhile, in Tianlin High School, Fu Wenbo, who had just settled back into his office after handling the student class assignment, picked up his water cup and answered Chu Huan's call as he saw the incoming call display.
"Hello, Chu Huan. What's up?"
Fu Wenbo had high hopes for Chu Huan, a student who had Awakened two Artifact Souls.
However, what was a pity to Fu Wenbo was that both of Chu Huan's Artifact Souls were auxiliary-type.
Just as Fu Wenbo's question fell and he brought the water cup to his lips for a sip, Chu Huan's voice slowly echoed through the receiver.
"Mr. Fu, my Artifact Soul Skill has Awakened."
Fu Wenbo: "What?"
