Chapter 4: The Blessing of Infinite Soul Energy
The moon hung high in the sky, its silvery glow casting an ethereal light over the Star Dou Forest. Long Tian sat cross-legged in his cave, his mind racing with thoughts of his newfound strength. The rewards from his second simulation had exceeded his expectations, but he knew there was more to uncover.
"Two simulations," he murmured. "And I've already reached the Spirit Ancestor realm. If I keep this up, there's no telling how far I can go."
The system's voice interrupted his thoughts.
> "Host has unlocked a hidden milestone: Infinite Growth."
"Special Reward: Unlimited Soul Energy."
Long Tian froze, his breath catching in his throat. "Unlimited soul energy?" he whispered, disbelief and excitement filling his voice.
> "Explanation: The Host will no longer be limited by soul energy reserves. Host's soul power will now replenish instantly, allowing for continuous use of skills and techniques without exhaustion."
His heart pounded as the weight of the reward sank in. Soul energy was the lifeblood of any spirit master. Running out of it in battle often meant death. But now... he was free from that restriction.
The system's panel appeared before him, detailing the change:
---
> Special Ability: Unlimited Soul Energy
Description: Grants the Host infinite soul energy, enabling uninterrupted use of martial spirit techniques and abilities.
Passive Effect: Instant regeneration of soul power.
Restrictions: None.

A grin spread across Long Tian's face. "This... this changes everything."

Testing His New Power
Without hesitation, Long Tian summoned his Celestial Dragon Spear. The silver-and-golden weapon hummed with energy, the faint flames from his Celestial Flame Dragon Technique flickering along its length.
He thrust the spear forward, unleashing a torrent of flames that scorched the cave walls. Normally, such an attack would drain a significant portion of his soul energy, but now he felt nothing—no fatigue, no depletion, just boundless power waiting to be unleashed.
"Unbelievable," he muttered, swinging the spear again. This time, he activated the Shadowstep Technique he had gained in the second simulation. His body blurred, reappearing several meters away in an instant.
Still, his soul energy remained untouched.
"I could fight endlessly," he realized, his excitement growing. "No one will be able to match me if they can't outlast me."

The Power of Infinite Energy
Eager to test his limits, Long Tian ventured deeper into the forest that night. The Star Dou Forest was a dangerous place, but it was also the perfect training ground. Spirit beasts of all ranks roamed its depths, each one a potential test of his newfound strength.
It wasn't long before he encountered his first challenge: a Nine-Headed Lava Serpent, a fearsome eight-thousand-year beast. Its massive, coiled body radiated heat, and its nine heads hissed in unison as it spotted Long Tian.
The serpent lunged at him, its fangs glinting in the moonlight. Long Tian didn't hesitate. He thrust his spear forward, activating the Celestial Flame Dragon Technique. A pillar of fire erupted from the spear, colliding with the serpent and forcing it back.
The beast roared in fury, its tails whipping toward him, but Long Tian was faster. He activated Shadowstep, dodging the attack with ease, and countered with another burst of flames.
For hours, the battle raged. The serpent was a powerful opponent, its attacks relentless, but Long Tian's infinite soul energy allowed him to fight without rest. Each time the beast surged forward, he met it with overwhelming power.
Finally, the serpent let out a final, pained roar before collapsing to the ground. Long Tian stood over its massive form, his breathing steady despite the intensity of the battle.
"This is the power of unlimited soul energy," he said, a satisfied smile on his face. "No spirit beast, no opponent can outlast me now."

A Ripple in the Forest
As Long Tian absorbed the serpent's spirit energy, a faint tremor ran through the ground. He frowned, his instincts warning him of something unusual. Far deeper in the forest, powerful auras stirred, drawn by the unnatural energy he had unleashed.
Unbeknownst to Long Tian, his battles and the activation of his new ability had not gone unnoticed. Ancient beasts and powerful cultivators alike felt the disturbance, their attention shifting toward the young spirit master who seemed to defy the laws of nature.

The Path Forward
Returning to his cave, Long Tian sat down to meditate, his mind racing with possibilities. The Infinite Simulation System had already made him stronger than most spirit masters his age, but the addition of unlimited soul energy elevated him to an entirely new level.
"Next time, I'll simulate a battle against a stronger opponent," he decided. "I need to push my limits and refine my techniques. With this power, I can face anything."
He opened the system interface, ready to begin his third simulation.
> "Simulation parameters loading... Simulation #3 initiating..."
As the world dissolved around him, Long Tian felt a surge of anticipation. He was no longer just a rising talent—he was a force of nature, a spirit master with infinite potential.
But the path he had chosen was not without danger. Forces far beyond his understanding were beginning to take notice, and the road ahead would be fraught with challenges.
Yet, with unlimited soul energy and infinite simulations, Long Tian knew one thing for certain: he would face whatever came his way and emerge victorious.
