Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 7: Ch 7: A New Skill

"The color of my pupils has changed, it is really very obvious..."

Emrys approached the mirror and looked at his eyes carefully.

In the Infinite Soul Star, people are generally born with black hair and black eyes. Only a special few are born with different colored eyes and hair. However, after awakening their Soul Mark, every Soul Master undergoes a small transformation. They are influenced by their Soul Mark, causing some changes to occur in their bodies.

For instance, their pupil's color might change, or even their hair color could undergo a transformation. Some individuals might even develop strange symbols on specific parts of their bodies after awakening their Soul Mark.

Soul Mark generally shows the direction of development for a Soul Master.

Emrys's direction of development is the Void Phoenix, the Walker of Blue Sky, and the Ruler of Space.

As Emrys's cultivation progresses, his Soul Mark will undergo transformations from time to time, granting him one or two abilities originally belonging to the Void Phoenix. However, the process will be much simpler, and the quality of these abilities will be significantly higher if he uses a Soul Orb suitable for the corresponding cultivation stages.

For example, Node Shift.

Node Shift is an ability that originally belonged to the Void Phoenix. It is a space-attributed ability that can make Emrys instantaneously shift his position, appearing as if he is teleporting to outsiders.

Of course, this ability that he obtained was still at the introductory level. Emrys can only use it a few times a day and is restricted to a limited area of a few meters.

However, as long as his cultivation increases, the level of his ability will also grow. Subsequently, a time will come when he can even use it as many times as he wants and the length will not be limited.

Of course, everything takes time. Emrys has to wait. To get to that level, he has to first become strong, exceptionally strong.

"By the way, I remember that before I fainted just now, I heard System Prompts. It seemed to faintly say about opening something..."

Emrys recalled the system prompt he heard before fainting. He thought for a while and called: "System, can you repeat the previous prompts?"

However, the system did not respond. Emrys frowned and asked a few more times, but the System still did not respond anything.

Only then did Emrys understand that System actually does not possess intelligence. He can only shake his head and sigh.

For nearly a year, Emrys has gained a rough understanding of the system. While it can follow simple instructions and provide prompts at certain points, it possesses little to no intelligence and cannot answer basic questions.

"Maybe I can find some clues on the information panel."

After thinking for a while, Emrys directly opened the System Panel and immediately noticed the difference.

.....

[Name: Emrys Frazier.

Cultivation: Soul Apprentice Eighth Order.

Soul Mark: Walker of the Blue Sky.

Soul Point: 0.

Unique Skills: Soul Orb Enhancement, Soul Force Extraction.]

.....

"Soul Force Extraction?"

"From its name, I do have an idea how this skill works. But I'm not clear. Looks like I have to try out this ability to confirm my guess."

Emrys knew that asking the system would be of no use. The system will not respond. Since that's the case, he can simply try to confirm his guess since he has an idea of how this skill works.

Emrys's eyes lit up when he thought of this.

Since Soul Force Extraction involves extracting Soul Force, Emrys speculated that he could potentially extract Soul Force from deceased individuals or by personally killing someone that has a soul. With this extracted Soul Force, he could theoretically strengthen his cultivation.

Wouldn't the path of cultivation become significantly easier with this skill?

"In any case, this new skill must be verified as soon as possible. After all, it is related to whether I can quickly improve my cultivation or not."

Emrys pondered for a while and soon made a decision.

"Hmm... I'll act tomorrow. For now, let's try the Node Shift ability of the Void Phoenix first!"

Emrys put away his thoughts and raised his head. A silver light flashed in his eyes as they rippled slightly, and the horizon in his eyes immediately changed, turning into a three-dimensional transparent world.

In a radius of a hundred meters, a large grid with hundreds of nodes appeared. The entire transparent world seemed to be standing on this grid.

From his room, Emrys can see two human figures, one in the living room and the other in the kitchen. The figure in the kitchen was constantly moving a short distance of a few steps. As for the black figure in the living room, it was sitting on a sofa.

Obviously, the figure in the living room was his father, Alex Frazier, who was watching TV. And the figure in the kitchen was his mother, Slivya Rosefield.

Emrys looked in the direction of the kitchen. He focused on a node there and willed for it. Suddenly, a stream of soul force gushed out from his soul and turned into silver light flowing on his body. The next moment, he disappeared after producing a flicker of blur.

In the kitchen, Slivya had just finished washing and putting away the dishes. She then opened the warming cabinet and glanced at the shredded green pepper meat and tomato eggs inside.

"In winter, it cools down quickly!" Slivya shook her head and brought out the two dishes.

"How come Emrys is cultivating for so long this time?"

Right at that moment, a silver light flashed in the kitchen, and Emrys appeared behind Slivya out of thin air. He did not teleport; instead, he had simply shifted his position using the Node Shift.

After watching Slivya put the two dishes on the table, Emrys softly called out: "Mom!"

"Ugh!"

Although Emrys lowered his voice, the sudden greeting still made Slivya tremble with fright. Fortunately, the two dishes had already been placed on the table; otherwise, they may have fallen to the ground.

Slivya quickly turned around and said: "Emrys! You almost scared me to death. Why did you..."
