Perhaps it was due to the mysterious energy in his glabella, so William Carter discovered that there was a strange energy surrounding Grant Carter. This energy emitted a peculiar force, attracting certain things from the surrounding space. Once these things, which permeated the infinite space, approached him, they immediately emitted a white light, illuminating the area around them.

Grant Carter smiled and said, “That’s exactly how you do it. Give it a try.”

When he said this, he actually didn’t hold out much hope.

The first time someone is discovered to have the aptitude of a spiritual practitioner, even if they possess mental power, this untrained mental power is usually very difficult to harmonize with the natural spiritual energy of the outside world.

Therefore, as long as William Carter could attract even the slightest bit of spiritual energy to gather around him, he would acknowledge this kid’s potential.

William Carter nodded heavily, taking a deep breath.

After two previous tests and all he had witnessed along the way, he already understood that this test was crucial for him and that he absolutely could not afford to be careless.

With a slight turn of his mind, the airflow in his glabella immediately surged violently.

Strands of airflow spread outward from his glabella. These currents had existed in his glabella for several days and could be manipulated at will according to his intentions.

At this moment, William Carter silently chanted in his heart.

Draw them in, draw that power in.

As if receiving his command, those steady currents suddenly began to fluctuate violently. In the next instant, the natural spiritual energy in the void began to surge, and this external energy rushed toward William Carter like a tide. In just a moment, a small vortex of spiritual energy formed around him.

Countless points of light lit up around William Carter. These points of light gathered together, as if forming a huge light bulb, radiating dazzling brilliance.

William Carter’s eyelids twitched a few times. Although he had previously unleashed the power of the glabella’s airflow, and even used it to create a humanoid being,

this was the first time this energy had come into contact with the natural spiritual energy of the outside world.

Suddenly, the points of light that had surged around William Carter transformed into a torrent of white light, rushing madly into William Carter’s body.

William Carter was greatly alarmed. He let out a strange cry, immediately abandoning his previous thoughts and commanding the airflow to repel the external spiritual energy.

Unfortunately, his reaction was still a beat too slow. In that brief moment of delay, a large amount of white light had already entered his body… or rather, into the space between his glabella and eyebrows.

This shock was no small matter—William Carter was nearly scared out of his wits.

However, after his experience of encountering a fierce tiger in the mountains, William Carter’s courage had already far surpassed that of others his age.

In just a split second, he calmed himself down.

Probing his glabella with his mind, he discovered something extremely strange.

Inside his glabella, there was still a mass of airflow. However, William Carter clearly knew that this mass was not the same as the one that had previously lingered there.

This airflow seemed to have been transformed from the natural spiritual energy just absorbed, while the original airflow that had been entrenched here had completely disappeared without a trace.

Startled, he searched everywhere with his spiritual sense.

Almost immediately, he discovered that, apart from the airflow transformed from natural spiritual energy, there was now something else unusual inside his glabella.

It was a tiny, colorless sphere, seemingly only the size of a bayberry pit.

This sphere was at the very center of the airflow, and it seemed to act as a kind of intake and exhaust device, constantly swallowing and spitting out the spiritual energy currents within the glabella.

As it repeated this process, the spiritual energy currents in the glabella began to flow in an orderly manner.

Previously, although there had been a different kind of airflow in the glabella, it was like a pool of stagnant water—unless William Carter manipulated it with his mind, it would remain completely still.

But now, things were different. The original airflow had been replaced by the new current formed from natural spiritual energy, and the mysterious airflow had condensed and transformed into a sphere.

The sphere and the spiritual energy currents worked together, giving the airflow in the glabella a surge of vitality and vigor.

His eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he opened his eyes.

Although this process sounds lengthy, in reality, from the moment the spiritual light surged in and formed the new airflow, to his mental probe and the discovery of the mutation, it all happened in an instant.

However, what startled him was that as soon as he opened his eyes, what greeted him was Grant Carter’s utterly dumbfounded expression, as if he had seen a ghost.

He coughed lightly and quickly said, “Uncle Yao, do you think I did okay?”

Grant Carter uttered two “ah”s, then, as if waking from a dream, said, “Yes, you did fine.”

After all, he was no ordinary person, and he quickly recovered from his shock. Glancing at the boy in front of him, he finally couldn’t help but ask, “William, when did you discover you had the aptitude of a spiritual practitioner?”

“Just today,” William Carter replied honestly.
