System vs Rebirth

"The second limitation is the Spirit Link. Even though I said that this ability could create a Spirit Link, it wouldn't be possible if your body didn't have a Spirit Link in the first place. You could say that your body had to understand the Spirit Link first before being able to attempt this."

"…" Anna was stupefied. The requirement was extremely hard. There might be some humans that could reach this level, but each kingdom wouldn't have more than five people. It was no wonder why Old Ru taught them without any care. "Still, how do you know our conversion rate and the Spirit Link?"

"I simply read your Spiritual Energy frequency." Old RU smiled while adding inwardly, 'The girl is extremely dangerous. 95% conversion rate and a Spirit Link… It seems that her Spirit Link is extremely solid as well. Her talent is above my grandson, who only has a 90% conversion rate and a Spirit Link.'

'However, the terrifying one is Noel. He has a conversion rate of 100%. There is a Spirit Link in his body, but it feels like half completed. I have never encountered an incomplete Spirit Link, but if I have to guess, it seems that this Spirit Link is completed. The only reason why it looks incomplete is because there is another Spirit residing in his body.'

'In addition, that Spirit is taking precisely half of his body, meaning that Spirit also has a 100% conversion rate. In other words, Noel has two Spirits with a 100% conversion rate and potentially two Spirit Links. His name will surely go down in history.'

Old Ru didn't know that if he didn't have Ardagan, he couldn't get this opportunity.

However, Old Ru also noticed the speed of his growth. It was less than Anna, but the more time passed, the more refined his ability became.

Old Ru didn't know that Noel had yet to complete the training task, which would allow him to be more sensitive to energy, increasing his training speed further. If he knew about it, he would probably expel him from here, unable to take it in his heart.

"Now that I have managed to do it, what should I do?" Anna asked while pointing to his other hand. "Should I do two at the same time?"

"Yes. You will have to reach the full body eventually. So, it's better for you to start early."

Anna nodded without hesitation. Although she could wait for Noel here, she didn't hesitate to proceed, completely believing Noel was able to catch up.

Of course, Noel had been listening while training. He finally understood the reason for his training which made him more fired up.

It was no wonder why he could catch up to Anna in the past life. This ability would definitely play a huge part in it.

On top of that, he also planned to get the True Spirit Body for both spirits. He didn't know what would happen at that time, but this True Spirit Body would definitely give two different kinds of power, allowing him to make his opponent unable to get used to his power.

Noel took a deep breath and continued with his training.

After another three hours, Noel managed to cover his hand with this thin layer of skin.

"I have finished my first task." Noel opened his mouth, showing the result.

"That's good enough." Old Ru nodded after observing the outer layer. He glanced at the sky and said, "There are about two more hours before sunset. You can continue if you want. Since you've succeeded, you should be able to do the rest by yourself. I'm going to prepare your food."

"Thank you, Old Ru." Noel politely bowed. There was no obligation for Old Ru to accept them, yet, he actually did so much for them. He didn't know how to thank him.

"It's fine. If you want to thank me, do me a favor before you depart. That's enough." Old Ru waved his hand with a smile.

"I understand." Noel nodded. After Old Ru returned to the cabin, Noel took a peek at Anna's progress.

As expected of Anna, she managed to cover both shoulders already. It seemed that once she knew the trick, she could proceed at a far faster speed.

If this continued, she would have cleared the first hurdle which was to envelop the whole body with this layer of Spiritual Energy.

And that was where the serious training would begin.

Noel only managed to cover an entire right arm after another two hours. His progress might not be as good as Anna, but his pace gradually became faster. After all, this training allowed Noel to actually adapt to his Spirit Link.

Heisk had given him the Spirit Link, increasing his Spiritual Energy Sensitivity. The training task should also be related to Heisk.

And with this training, he could finally make full use of it. It was awkward at first, considering the first time he tried it, the surge of energy caused a shock wave and knocked him down.

But the more he used it, the higher his mastery became. If this continued, he should be able to catch up to Anna within three to four days.

"Huu…" Noel took a deep breath, feeling a bit exhausted.

"How is it? It seems that you've made good progress." Anna smiled, checking his condition.

"Yeah. However, I'm not going to lose against you." Noel smirked.

"Is that so? I won't be pulling my punch, you know."

"Haha. We can decide once we go back to our room. Maybe I will hinder you…" Noel had a mischievous grin on his face. "How about a bet?"

"Hoh? Interesting. The loser will have to say one line that the other party wanted."

"Huh? One line?" Noel tilted his head in confusion. The bet looked small at first glance, but he soon realized that she could force Anna to say she loved females to Nicole, causing a ruckus among the Stargaze Family. It seemed that the bet wasn't that small either.

Noel and Anna grinned, feeling excited.

"We have a deal."
