"I’m not too sure either..." he replied honestly:

"Maybe it triggered some kind of potential under extreme pressure."

Salamanda circled around him, carefully observing this young man:

"Your perception ability has indeed made a qualitative leap, but this enhancement... is somewhat unusual."

As a seasoned Dark Sun Level Wizard, Salamanda’s intuition was quite keen.

Although he couldn’t see the specific effect of "Spiritual Vision," he could feel the subtle changes happening within Ron.

"Anyway, this progress is a good thing."

He finally nodded:

"With the strength you’ve shown now, you should perform well in the Elemental Night competition."

Edwin, Laku, and Patty also gathered around, their eyes full of curiosity and admiration.

"Ralph, your foresight ability just now was incredible."

Patty was the first to speak: "It was as if you could see through our thoughts."

"Yes, even though my sand transformation didn’t have any signs, you always managed to react in advance."

Laku nodded in agreement: "This perception has exceeded normal ranges."

Edwin, straightforward by nature, bluntly admitted:

"If you can perform at this level during the Elemental Night, securing the usage rights for the medium convergence point shouldn’t be a problem."

Ron politely thanked the three, while inwardly reminiscing about the wondrous experience he just had.

"Spiritual Vision" is not just a combat technique, but more like a key to a whole new world."

In that realm constructed of souls and consciousness, countless secrets and truths are hidden.

If he can master this ability, it will undoubtedly play a huge role in future adventures.

But at the same time, he vaguely sensed the danger of this ability.

During the recent visual experience, there were occasional dark and twisted souls passing by.

They emitted strong malice and resentment, like evil spirits from the abyss, unsettling to behold.

If this ability is used without restraint, it may attract unnecessary trouble."

"It seems more caution is needed in studying this new ability..."

Ron made a silent decision in his heart, preparing to conduct more in-depth tests and analysis upon returning to his residence.

.........

At dusk, Ron returned to his home.

Sarah had already prepared a plentiful dinner and a pot of tea with a hint of mint aroma.

"Sir, your training seems to have gone smoothly today."

She noticed the relaxed expression on Ron’s face:

"Dean Salamanda passed by earlier and specially praised your progress."

"There were indeed some gains."

Ron sat down at the table, tasting the meticulously prepared dishes while pondering how to test his new ability.

"Sarah, can you help me with something?"

"Of course, Sir, please tell me."

"I need an absolutely quiet environment for about two hours. During this time, don’t enter my room no matter what happens."

Sarah nodded in agreement, curious but refrained from asking further.

In her view, it was normal for powerful Wizards to engage in certain special cultivation.

After dinner, Ron went to his study, carefully setting up soundproofing and protective arrays.

Taking a deep breath, he began to attempt reactivating "Spiritual Vision."

This time, without the tension and excitement of battle, the activation process became more challenging.

He needed to actively mobilize four kinds of perception abilities to create resonance deep within his consciousness.

"Extraordinary Recognition" began analyzing the room’s details;

"Hermit’s Knowledge" constructed a logic analysis framework;

"Eye of Observation" perceived the flow of time;

"Spiritual Perception" endeavored to explore deeper information...

A few minutes later, the familiar resonance appeared again.

The world underwent a marvelous transformation in Ron’s eyes.

The furniture in the study remained ordinary dead objects, without life aura or soul encircling them.

The books on the shelf, though inorganic, contained knowledge and thoughts giving them a special "presence."

Especially those frequently read books, a faint aura flickered on their surfaces.

What truly interested Ron was observing the soul phenomena surrounding living people.

He called softly:

"Sarah, could you please come in? I have some questions I need to consult."

"Sure, Sir."

As Sarah entered the room, "Spiritual Vision" instantly captured the surreal scene surrounding her.

Two warm and bright golden lights surrounded her, akin to guardian angels emitting a loving aura.

From the features of these souls and their connection to Sarah, it was undoubtedly her deceased parents.

Though their physical bodies had perished, their consciousness still accompanied their daughter in this form.

Those two "bloodline bonds" gleamed pure gold, gently enveloping Sarah like silk.

Ron could feel deep love, pride, and comfort from them.

They were proud of their daughter’s ability to remain kind in the face of adversity and comforted that she had found an owner who genuinely treated her.

Besides her parents’ souls, several finer lines connected with other benevolent presences.

A faint green line stretched afar, possibly a patient Sarah once cared for.

Several silver lines flickered stealthily, likely others she had assisted during difficult times.

But the most touching was the group of young souls surrounding Sarah.

They all appeared semi-transparent, seemingly of a similar age to Sarah.
