Chapter 575: Chapter 443: Unexpected Surprise_3

"No, what you’ve just described to me is a huge surprise already," Zheng Yichen said with a smile. The idea of a Control Contract and such - he thought about his soul control ability, which allowed him to dominate weaker souls by suppressing them, and it was incredibly convenient.

When dominating, control was very strong, and when he didn’t want to dominate, he could directly release the soul.

"Now that you mention it, I’m starting to regret it, especially since you’re going to that world, you really need to be careful not to go too far," the fire dragon muttered with some regret.

After saying goodbye to the fire dragon and returning to his dwelling, Zheng Yichen handed over the object to Katrina and the others. As for the content of this summoning ritual, Lilith had already recorded it. As for the scale, he planned to use it as enhancement material once Katrina and the others finished recording it.

There might be something better in the future, but isn’t there nothing now? He thought of using this object as a plugin to match with his soul control ability.

As long as there was a large amount of soul feedback, the soul control ability could enhance his own strength. If he operated on scale, the improvement would be significant. However, if given the chance, Zheng Yichen still wanted to use souls of higher quality.

He generally couldn’t bring himself to plunder other people’s souls unless they were deserving enemies. Since plundering was not a good option, he had to think of other ways; self-production and self-use seemed like a good approach.

"A very unique magic ritual," Eileena remarked after recording the magic ritual. "It seems to align with some knowledge of the Evil Spirit, but I don’t recommend you use it in that world."

As she spoke, she produced some materials, tried out the magic ritual, using both positive and negative approaches, and ended up with two cotton balls.

This was the "don’t get your hopes too high" that the fire dragon had mentioned. Eileena examined the two objects and couldn’t help but shake her head, "Although this magic ritual can create some special ’spirits,’ it requires a significant investment to be successful. A small input would only leave it to chance. However... it could be used for something else."

Once the soul of a creature dissipates to a certain extent, it can no longer maintain its form and may even shatter, but this magic ritual makes good use of those soul fragments.

The reason why Zheng Yichen felt surprised at the fire dragon’s place was that, after being enhanced with a Soul-Subduing magic stone, the fishing rod could not only store souls but also absorb the Spiritual Power fragments emanating from dissipating souls.

"Let’s just use it like this for now; who knows when a new surprise might come," Zheng Yichen took back the scale that was no longer necessary to remain with the witch. Although the scale could be used as a magic tool, he lacked Magic Power, so he could only use it as an enhancement plugin.

In the remaining time, he just waited for the results of the witches’ research and made a special trip to the Dusk Cathedral to further enhance his weapon, which directly cost him 2 merit points. As his weapon continued to get stronger, the cost in merit points grew higher.

Zheng Yichen also inquired with Tia, and the response from the nun was that as long as the weapon’s quality did not continue to increase, the price would remain roughly the same. The reason for the price increase was still due to the previous enhancement which unexpectedly raised the weapon’s quality.

Listening to it... it sounded quite like a cash grab.

Spending money to become stronger worked in Dusk as well, only here the money with real value could cost you your life to earn.

As for the enhanced summoning ritual Zheng Yichen tried it out, and it suited him well. The enhancements Dusk made to weapons were tailored to his own needs. The weapon was initially just a slightly better-quality fishing rod, but with subsequent enhancements, it had gradually become Zheng Yichen’s exclusive weapon.

Zheng Yichen discovered that the magic summoning ritual could be released with the guidance of Light type abilities. He could mold the materialized light through the weapon to create the summoning ritual magic array formation. Normal light corresponded to the positive aspect, while Black Light corresponded to the negative aspect.

The ’spirits’ congealed from the magic ritual were of higher quality than those directly produced by the summoning ritual, but the results were still somewhat disappointing. They were special souls, but not the distinct kind Zheng Yichen had in mind. Mostly, they turned out just like the tests - a bunch of mochi-like balls. For the fire dragon to describe them as ’Heroic Spirits,’ Zheng Yichen had come to see that as just marketing.

These creations were anything but Heroic Spirits; benevolent spirits and Evil Spirits were more like it. Although the two types of spirits were not fully shaped, benevolent spirits still possessed the trait of absorbing positive emotional energy, while Evil Spirits did the opposite.

However, these test subjects were so lackluster that their absorption efficiency was extremely low, essentially making them untrainable runts. No, runts were even better than this - at least a struggling fish could slap with its tail.

Hit someone with these things, and it would be like cotton, although the Evil Spirits did have some use; when placed on someone’s head, they could cause nightmares. However, these beings were not invisible. Ordinary people might see them vaguely, but they could still see them.

Since these were created by extending the summoning ritual through the fishing rod, it made the formed benevolent and Evil Spirits appear very ’obedient,’ much more so than the souls Zheng Yichen controlled directly with his soul control ability.

Manipulating them with soul control... there wasn’t much to manipulate. These things didn’t even have a definite shape, just some minor instincts, and even corrections made through soul control powers couldn’t lift them up.

But Zheng Yichen had no regrets. The spirits created by the summoning ritual could be absorbed into the fishing rod, which in the future could utilize the soul fragment absorbed after defeating enemies.

Those soul fragments could not be controlled by soul control; fragments were akin to living people and a pile of flesh. People can work, but a pile of flesh just sits there.

Through the summoning ritual, he could turn that pile of flesh, good for nothing but eating or selling or even throwing away, into a ’bionic being’ that could work. Bionic beings also lay within the scope of soul control, so what was there for Zheng Yichen to regret?

This summoning ritual allowed him to further utilize the resources he obtained, making him appear even less like a good person.
