"Hyper-Life Photosynthesis?" Han Yuan was speechless. He anticipated getting this spirit skill, but the plainness behind this "photosynthesis" left him speechless.
Hyper-Life Photosynthesis isn't just regular photosynthesis. After all, this ability allowed the Great Sun Thunder Cattails to survive in the dangerous era where the Dragon Clan and Dragon God reigned over Douluo Star.
This spirit skill allowed the ancient plant to absorb almost all kinds of light, preferably sunlight, which later contained and refined inside its body and finally turned into nutrients and raw powers. So, radiation could help this ancient plant grow more powerful.
"It's like a budget version of Superman's ability to grow stronger with the sun's radiation."
Although there was a limit to this photosynthesis, Han Yuan cleverly made it so there was no weakness. The Purple Silver Grass directly inherited the pure origin of the Great Sun Thunder Cattails, qualifying each piece of grass to store some units of raw energy.
Since the Purple Silver Grass could multiply indefinitely as long as Han Yuan had enough spirit energy and changed the power of light into life and lightning energy, theoretically speaking, there is no limit to this spirit skill.
Yup, you heard that right. If Han Yuan could maintain this cycle, he could grasp unlimited energy, also known as Limitless!
After thinking about it, Han Yuan couldn't help but smile.
"Theoretically, Limitless could work."
"But micro-managing every step would be a pain in the ass..."
"I must increase my spiritual power quickly!"
Han Yuan clenched his hand and said, "The Limitless Project starts now, and I will make it happen."
"Young Master, are you alright?" asked Dugu Bo. He hurriedly approached Han Yuan, fearing something would go wrong.
Unfortunately, Dugu Bo was one step behind because Liu Erlong reached Han Yuan's side and checked his condition from top to bottom. She was so close to stripping him bare.
"Erlong, what the fuck-! Don't strip me, woman!" Han Yuan retreated from Liu Erlong's evil hands and glared at her coldly.
Liu Erlong pouted, squishing her hand like a cat, "Hmm, I'm glad you're fine, Xiao Yuan."
"But you shouldn't make me worry like that!
"You're giving me a heart attack!"
Han Yuan snorted, "Heart attack, your ass!"
Dugu Bo wryly chuckled at their banter and said, "Young Master, how old is your spirit ring? Also, what's with the bronze marking?"
Han Yuan glanced at Dugu Bo and cleared his throat, "Ahem, my 4th spirit ring is 69,000 years old. As for the bronze marking, it was because I used the origin of the ancient spirit beast as my spirit ring's template."
"Don't worry, visually aside, the marking doesn't have much effect."
"So, it's an Ancient Spirit Ring?" Dugu Bo nodded in understanding.
Liu Erlong crossed her arms and asked this time, "Then, what about your spirit skill? Since it's from an ancient spirit beast, it must be an amazing or super strong spirit skill."
"No, not really." Han Yuan replied casually. He briefly explained Hyper-Life Photosynthesis and his thoughts about it, which was a self-enhancing spirit skill more than anything.
Even then, Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo are still shocked. The potential of Han Yuan's new spirit skill is practically limitless. Being able to recover in any situation as long as there is light (radiation) is the ability that even Title Douluos dreams they could have.
Above all else, Han Yuan has enough time to develop this spirit skill into a more refined ability. He's just seven now, and they couldn't imagine what this spirit skill could be in five or ten years.
When that day comes, Han Yuan might have become an unstoppable force!
"Enough of me, what about you?" Han Yuan stared at Liu Erlong. "Your harvest shouldn't be too shabby."
Liu Erlong smiled smugly at him, "My spirit rank has been raised by one level, which means I'm two levels away from the half-step Title Douluo realm now. Still, I wanted to suppress my cultivation for a few months, if not a year."
"I have a chance to become a Title Douluo now. I can't waste it by having a lousy foundation."
Cough!
Dugu Bo coughed, "Dean is right, but why do I feel you are hitting my gut with that last remark?"
"Hehe, it must be your feelings, Senior." Liu Erlong innocently blinked her eyes. "It's late at night already. We should get some rest, or waking up tomorrow would be difficult."
"..." Dugu Bo.
Yeah, you're doing that on purpose, aren't you?
Do not think you can change the topic that easily!
Han Yuan shook his head gently, "Well, it's indeed late."
"Let's have a good rest after this long day. Senior, let's discuss Sister Yanyan's enrollment in the morning."
"I have a feeling that Dao Academy will become popular soon."
"Oh, why so?" Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong were curious.
Han Yuan chuckled, "Because someone was about to send their precious princess here."
...
...
The next morning.
Before sunrise, Han Yuan visited his cultivation place and stared at the familiar sky with a smile.
In the past, Han Yuan would have just absorbed the purple qi in the aura, but with his new spirit skill, he could also use the radiation of the morning sun.
And sure enough. After Han Yuan summoned the Purple Spirit Grass, he felt the warm and steady energy flowing back to himself.
The feedback he got wasn't just spirit energy but also life and lightning energy, which enhanced his physique further.
Hyper-Life Photosynthesis is a game changer!
Now, Han Yuan might have to modify his cultivation techniques. He also has a new idea for training the Great Sun Thunder Body.
According to the inheritance of the Great Sun Thunder Cattails, Han Yuan must bathe his body using raw lightning energy produced by Hyper-Life Photosynthesis. Once he can endure a specific voltage, his body would transform naturally.
Unfortunately, Han Yuan could only experiment with this training method because the concept of voltage is unknown to the ancient plan spirit beast.
Then, again, Douluo Dalu is a fantasy cultivation world.
"System, open my status."

"..." Han Yuan stared at his status panel numbly.
"Yeah, I need to do something with this. It has become a little more cramped than before..."
"Hmm, what to do, what to do..."
Han Yuan rubbed his chin before smiling, "Welp, I can just combine all my self-created skills into one collection just like four basic and four advanced arts, though non-lightning attribute ones won't fit in."
"Anyway, let's do this!"
