His Martial Soul Was Not an Ordinary Sword, but the Concept of the Sword Itself!

Shrek Academy.

When Yu Xiaogang heard Lin Bai's words, he was so furious that smoke nearly came out of his nose!

What did he mean, a useless Martial Soul and a useless Soul Master?

Yu Xiaogang was the Soul Master World's renowned number one theoretical Grandmaster, the flesh-and-blood son of Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

He was the founder of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul and the man who would one day teach seven gods!

A greenhorn dared to slander him like this. He was courting death!

"Lin Bai, you've gone too far!"

"What does a little brat know? The Sky Screen is actually broadcasting such remarks. It's simply poisoning people's minds!"

"Luo Sanpao, come out!"

The pitifully weak Soul Power around Yu Xiaogang began to circulate, and he immediately summoned his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao.

The next instant, a strange creature appeared before him. Its entire body was pale purple, and it looked like both a dog and a pig.

Yu Xiaogang took a white radish from his Storage Soul Tool and stuffed it firmly into Luo Sanpao's mouth.

The next instant, the bright yellow First Soul Ring on Luo Sanpao's body lit up.

Flender was shocked at the sight and hurriedly tried to stop Yu Xiaogang.

"Gangzi, calm down. This Sky Screen..."

But Yu Xiaogang swung his hand and shoved him aside, then spoke with a cold snort.

"What bullshit Sky Screen? Today, I, the Grandmaster, will destroy it!"

"First Soul Skill: Fart Like Thunder, Earth-Shattering Luo Sanpao!"

Luo Sanpao, having eaten his fill of white radish, stuck up his backside, and a yellow cloud so dense it was almost solid burst from it.

Luo Sanpao's fart carried a ball of bright yellow light straight toward the Sky Screen.

At the sight, the expressions of everyone nearby changed instantly.

Zhao Wuji swiftly covered his nose, while Li Yusong and Lu Qibin even retreated several steps.

This Grandmaster had actually farted in public, and so loudly at that. He had no regard for others at all!

But the next instant, something happened.

The moment the bright yellow ball of light from Luo Sanpao's first Soul Skill touched the golden light surrounding the Sky Screen, it vanished without a trace.

There was no explosion of Soul Power, not even the slightest sound.

Before the Sky Screen, Luo Sanpao's Soul Skill was like a clay ox sinking into the sea; it failed to raise even the smallest ripple.

At the bizarre sight, the furious expression on Yu Xiaogang's face froze.

Golden light then flowed across the Sky Screen, and a bolt of golden lightning slowly took shape.

The bolt was not thick. It even looked somewhat slender.

But the terrifying presence it contained made the scalps of every Soul Master throughout Shrek Academy tingle.

Boom!

The golden lightning struck with unerring precision, landing squarely on Yu Xiaogang.

Brilliant golden electricity flashed, and even the phantom image of a skeleton appeared within it.

Yu Xiaogang let out a scream. The strike charred him black from head to toe, and he fell stiffly to the ground.

Wisps of black smoke rose from his mouth and nose, every strand of his hair stood on end, and his complexion had turned completely into the distinguished complexion of the Sun Moon Empire's royalty.

The divine voice of the Great Dao rang out from the Sky Screen, carrying across all of Shrek Academy.

"Interference with the Sky Screen's live broadcast detected!"

"Upon judgment, Yu Xiaogang farted indiscriminately, polluting the environment, and attempted to disrupt the Sky Screen's live broadcast. His crimes are heinous!"

"If he offends again, he will be wiped out immediately!"

All of Shrek Academy fell silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Zhao Wuji looked down at Yu Xiaogang lying on the ground and sniffed.

"Why can I smell cooked meat?"

The corner of Flender's mouth twitched, and he turned his head away.

At that moment, Shao Xin hurried forward and summoned his Sugar Bean Martial Soul.

Translucent sugar beans appeared one after another in his hand. He then activated his Martial Soul Avatar and stuffed a handful of healing sugar beans into Yu Xiaogang's mouth.

The sugar beans melted in his mouth, and Yu Xiaogang's injuries immediately improved considerably. At the very least, he would not die for the time being.

However, he remained unconscious, mumbling incoherent nonsense about "seven gods" and the "number one theoretical Grandmaster."

It seemed Yu Xiaogang was unlikely to wake up anytime soon.

Shao Xin recalled his Martial Soul and examined Yu Xiaogang's injuries.

"His injuries are stable, but it'll take at least a month for him to recover completely."

Flender nodded, looked away from Yu Xiaogang, and turned back to the Sky Screen.

He had long known that Yu Xiaogang was useless.

But he could not understand why Lin Bai rated Ji Juechen so highly.

At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

After hearing Lin Bai's words, Meng Hongchen paused in her tracks, disbelief appearing on her face.

"Turning decay into a miracle? Lin Bai, that's quite a high assessment of Ji Juechen."

"Because he deserves it. Do you know what Ji Juechen's Innate Soul Power was? Only level three!"

Qian Renxue and Huo Yutong were both stunned by Lin Bai's words.

"Level three?"

"That's right. Ji Juechen's Innate Soul Power was only level three."

Lin Bai nodded as he spoke.

"His Martial Soul was also just an utterly ordinary longsword, with no special attributes or abilities whatsoever."

"By the standards of the Soul Master World on Douluo Continent, he was practically a Soul Master who couldn't have been more ordinary."

Qian Renxue frowned, and Huo Yutong could not help widening her eyes.

Qian Renxue and Lin Bai both had Innate Full Soul Power.

Huo Yutong's Innate Soul Power had been only level one at her Martial Soul Awakening because of malnutrition in early childhood, but her Spirit Eyes Martial Soul was, in essence, an extremely high-grade Martial Soul.

Lin Bai had told her long ago that the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul definitely had the foundation for Innate Full Soul Power.

But Ji Juechen's innate level-three Soul Power was the real thing, a talent that had almost doomed him to mediocrity.

"Then how could he possibly have cultivated to Soul Ancestor?"

Meng Hongchen had never heard about Ji Juechen's past either and could not help asking.

Lin Bai smiled and continued.

"Because Ji Juechen never regarded himself as an ordinary Soul Master."

"After his Martial Soul Awakening at six, there was nothing left in his eyes but the sword."

"And his way of cultivating was different from that of almost every Soul Master on Douluo Continent."

"All of his Soul Rings are used to amplify his own Soul Power, and then he fights with his sword and Self-Created Soul Skills."

"And that extraterrestrial meteoric iron sword in his hand was originally just a long piece of meteoric iron ore."

"After Ji Juechen obtained it, he spent more than ten years polishing it with his own hands, his own Soul Power, and his own sword intent, day in and day out."

"Bit by bit, he ground and tempered it, forcibly wearing a piece of ore into the shape of a sword."

"From that moment on, his Martial Soul was no longer an ordinary longsword!"

"His Martial Soul has already been sublimated into the concept of the sword itself, able to merge with all things."

"The man is the sword, and the sword is the man; there is no distinction between them!"

"Pluck a flower or send a leaf flying, and either can be a sword! At that realm, the original quality of a Martial Soul no longer matters!"

"Because Ji Juechen's sword Dao is where his true strength lies!"
