After saying that, the boss then walked towards the desk in the corner of the room. She opened the desk drawer and took out a black glass case. She then returned with the glass case.
Yi Yun and the others looked at her doubtfully as she opened the glass case. There was a glass bottle filled with blue liquid in the glass case.
"This is a new discovery," said the boss.
"New invention?"
At this time, the other three people in the room also went over to them.
"With this, the mortal body will not turn into an elite body, it will turn into a spiritual body."
"Spiritual body? Is it really doable?" People were shocked while Yi Yun was confused. He was the only one who didn't understand anything.
The boss ignored the other's reactions, she then explained to Yi Yun.
"The so-called elite body is the next level of the mortal body, it is actually more suited to the physical path."
"Physical paths are more compatible with solid-type mana. Like stone or iron mana for example, they can integrate well with the body resulting in much stronger physical strength. Of course, in order for them to be truly integrated, the strength of the body must also be very strong. That is the path that the majority of people take."
"As for elemental-type mana like fire, wind, they are less suited to elite body. That's because what they need is not strong physical strength, but one's spiritual power. The problem is, not many people have spiritual power. Spiritual power is only possessed by those who have a spiritual body."
"The difference lies in the amount of fire that can be released. With the same amount of mana points, a person with a mage body can release two to three times more fire than a person with an elite body."
"Then?"
Yi Yun was still between understanding and not understanding.
"You could say that there is mana that requires physical strength as support and there is also mana that requires spiritual strength as support."
"Do you understand up to this point."
Yi Yun pondered for a while before nodding.
"So is the spiritual body better than the elite body."
"Of course not," Elly chimed in. "It still depends on the owner."
"That's true, but there are different types of people. Like the guy lying there for example, or Elly." The boss pointed at the ancient man and glanced at Elly.
"They are the type of people who like to run around and fight with their fists, developing their physical strength naturally suits them better."
Elly stuck out her tongue. She then said, "and for a man with weak stamina like you, a spiritual body might suit you better. In battle, you can stand far from the enemy while throwing fireballs."
"You are like mages standing in the back lines while we are like brave knights," she added.
"There is no term magician and knight here because all power comes from mana which is a magic thing. For us, we refer to ourselves as evolvers more often because we are basically humans who evolve to another level," the boss replied.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
"Okay, I've understood everything you guys are saying, but from the way you guys talk, the spiritual body don't seem like anything new."
"Indeed," said Elly.
"The boss herself has a spiritual body," said Alvin, the young man who first took care of him.
"Oh?" Yi Yun couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the woman with the hair in a bun.
But somehow the woman suddenly lowered her head for a moment when that was mentioned. Yi Yun also saw her eyes dim for a moment.
She then replied, "spiritual bodies are nothing new, but they are much rarer than elite bodies." "Some people are born with spiritual bodies, and there are also items in this world that can turn elite bodies into spiritual bodies, but they are extremely rare."
"They're almost impossible to find," Alvin added.
He then looked at the glass case in the boss's hand. "Is this new discovery really able to do it. I also want to have a spiritual body."
The others besides Elly also seemed interested.
"Unfortunately this can't be used for you guys," replied the boss, causing Alvin and the others to lose hope.
"But Yi Yun, you have this opportunity."
"Okay, before we talked about the abilities of the two bodies, now let's talk about their differences."
"The mortal body and the elite body have three attributes, strength, speed, and stamina, but when your body turns into a spiritual body, you will still have all three attributes and you will gain one additional attribute, namely the spiritual attribute."
"However, after that, it is very difficult for you to improve the first three attributes. I believe you understand."
Yi Yun nodded.
If his strength, speed, and stamina attributes didn't increase, maybe in the future he could burn mountains with the fire he released, but his physical strength was still as weak as a normal human's. But that problem can naturally be solved with spiritual power.
"But what about those born with spiritual bodies, are their physical strength as weak as babies?" Yi Yun asked.
The female boss shook her head with a smile, "of course not, usually before puberty, their physical strength is still increasing."
"But even if their physical strength doesn't increase, it doesn't matter to them."
"Look," she then pointed her finger at a wooden chair.
The wooden chair suddenly floated in the air.
"Spiritual power is like invisible physical power, we can do the things physical strength does and there are many more abilities we can do. Like flying for example."
"So Yi Yun, whether you prefer an elite body or a spiritual body, for now, this elixir can only be used for you."
"Why?" Alvin asked. The boss still hasn't explained the reason.
"The reason is of course due to the imperfection of the product, perhaps this in itself is already the most perfect. The condition for this potion to be used successfully is that the stamina of the person using it must be at its lowest point, which is 1 point. Strength and speed of at least 3 points for men."
"We know that spiritual power and physical strength are incompatible with each other, too strong a physical force causes spiritual power to be suppressed. This potion, on the other hand, aren't as good as those items, so it can only be used by those with very weak physiques."
"The choice is yours, young man…" She looked at Yi Yun, waiting for his decision.
Yi Yun actually didn't think much, for someone like him, fighting with that physique was not suitable at all. Even in his youth, he had always disliked sports.
And he's not the type to change things about himself either.
'I wonder if boss was born with a spiritual body or has she changed it with an item in this world?'
'However, those who change it later seem to have the advantage, they will be physically strong and spiritually strong. Well, though they still have to train their spiritual power from scratch.'
'The question is; is there a body that allows me to develop in both areas?'
He couldn't help but think of the strange thing he got.
'The problem is it's in an inactive state.'
Previously Yi Yun's knowledge was limited, so he didn't think much of it. Now he knows there are different types of bodies.
Now he has two choices, but is there another choice?
'Is that thing a creation of the Dora clan? If so, I might be able to get another option out of that thing.'
'Ah, I might have to postpone this.'
Yi Yun looked at the boss and then asked.
"By the way, what about the contract?"
Now he didn't think much about the contract, but he pretended to be worried about it.
"Of course, we have to rewrite the contract, the price of this elixir is much more expensive, ordinary people on the elite planet may not be able to buy it even if they work for a lifetime."
Yi Yun, "..."
"So what's your choice?" Ask the boss.
"Can I think first?" Yi Yun replied.
