After soaking in the Medicinal Bath that evening.
In Chen Yu's study, Chen Xun brought Chen Xiaojun over.
Chen Yu began, "Xiao'er, tomorrow is the day you awaken your Martial Soul. Are you nervous?"
"Nervous. After all, this only happens once in a lifetime. It's the most important moment for me. Whether I'm a dragon or a phoenix depends on it."
Chen Xun comforted him, "Don't be nervous. Everyone goes through this. Besides, even if you inherit Xiu Xin's Seven-Colored Bracelet Support Type Martial Soul, that's still a Top Martial Soul, and it can still help you become an exceptional swordsman."
Although a swordsman with a Support Type Martial Soul did not have as many powerful attack skills as one with an attack-type Martial Soul, with a support Martial Soul increasing basic damage, plus the Chen Clan's secret techniques, he would not be weak by any means. There were precedents for this. Back then, Profound Heaven Douluo, who possessed the Profound Heaven Gourd Martial Soul, was not inferior in sword power to the Chen Clan's ancestors.
"Mm."
Chen Yu smiled and continued, "Xiao'er, how much do you understand about the quality of Martial Souls?"
Chen Xiaojun replied, "Everyone has a Martial Soul, and it awakens at the age of six. It is linked by bloodline and inherited from one parent's Martial Soul.
Martial Soul quality is divided according to power, potential, functionality, rarity, and other factors into four types: elementary, intermediate, advanced, and top.
Because Martial Souls are ever-changing, wildly varied, and countless in number, with every kind imaginable, according to the rough statistics in Brief Examination of Martial Souls, Definition of Martial Soul Grades, and Hundred Explanations of Soul Masters, more than ten thousand types of Martial Souls have already appeared.
So if they are divided in detail, apart from elementary Martial Souls, which are ungraded, the other intermediate, advanced, and top Martial Souls all contain soul power, and each can be divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. These are the nine grades of Martial Souls. For ease of understanding, these nine grades are also arranged numerically, with first grade the lowest and ninth grade the highest. Our family's Seven Kill Sword is the highest top-grade, upper-tier Martial Soul—a Ninth Grade Martial Soul."
"Not bad, Xiao'er. But there are also two special kinds of Martial Souls," Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Special? Which two? Waste Martial Souls? God-level Martial Souls?" As a transmigrator, Chen Xiaojun was extremely familiar with those two types of Martial Souls.
Chen Yu chuckled and said, "Waste Martial Souls are only the worst among elementary Martial Souls—in other words, the lowest-level Martial Souls—but they still belong to elementary Martial Souls. Mainly, they are not outstanding in any aspect and very easily have no soul power. Even if they occasionally do have soul power, they generally cannot reach Innate Level One Soul Power. Take the continent's most famous waste Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass. Most of the time it appears, it has no innate soul power.
The two kinds of Martial Souls I'm talking about are Martial Souls above Top Martial Souls: Super Martial Souls and the God-level Martial Souls you mentioned."
Chen Xiaojun immediately picked up the thread. "God-level Martial Souls—I know. It's said that Spirit Hall's inherited Six-Winged Angel is a God-level Martial Soul."
"Yes. God-level Martial Souls can break through Innate Full Soul Power, ranging from level 11 to 20. In fact, the ancestors suspected that it wasn't only God-level Martial Souls; many who have Innate Full Soul Power may actually exceed level 10, but the Soul Testing Ball can only detect up to level 10, so anything beyond that can't be measured—except for Spirit Hall's secret-made Soul Testing Ball, which is never shared. Rumor has it that someone with innate level 20 can become a god. Whether that's true or not, I don't know."
Chen Xiaojun understood at once and said, "Never shared? So that's how it is. In other words, exceeding full soul power is a valuable information resource."
"Information resource? A very good term," Chen Yu said with a nod.
"Then do God-level Martial Souls have any other traits?" Chen Xiaojun came from his previous life, so if he had the chance, he was naturally going to look into this.
At this, a deep look flashed through Chen Yu's eyes. He said, "Being able to break through Innate Full Soul Power is the first trait of a God-level Martial Soul. Its second trait is that it comes with a Domain. Once cultivated to a certain stage, it automatically obtains an innate Domain. Its third trait is that it automatically carries, approaches, or even possesses an Ultimate Attribute."
"Ultimate Attribute?" Chen Xiaojun heard a term familiar from his previous life.
"Correct. The ultimate of an attribute. Possessing ultimate power means being the absolute king among the same attribute, suppressing all Martial Souls of that same attribute. An Ultimate Martial Soul is one of the best among Super Martial Souls. Ultimate attributes include water, fire, light, darkness, metal, earth, wood, and so on," Chen Yu explained.
Chen Yu paused, then continued, "A Super Martial Soul is the evolved state a Top Martial Soul can reach. It does not belong to conventional Martial Souls. According to the ancestors' research, Super Martial Souls are not inherited innately. They can only become Super Martial Souls after repeated awakenings or evolution later in life.
Beast Martial Souls can even evolve into true, flawless Divine Beast Martial Souls. As for us Tool Martial Souls, Ultimate Martial Souls are the only path of Martial Soul Evolution. Our Restoration Ancestor, Chen Feiyi, possessed the Ultimate Metal attribute and became a Peerless Douluo of his generation."
Chen Xiaojun thought of the Ning Family's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. "Then can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the Number One Under Heaven Support Type Martial Soul. Naturally, the Ning Family hopes to evolve it into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. In our view, it is already extremely difficult for their family to inherit Eight Treasures. As for Nine Treasures, there truly is no hope.
Aside from a few among them awakening or evolving later in life, the chance of passing it down through inheritance is probably close to zero. In fact, even reproducing the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is as difficult as climbing to heaven. It is not something that can be replicated."
"Reproducing it? Their family had it before?" Chen Xiaojun asked in confusion.
Chen Yu nodded and replied, "Yes. You should know that their Martial Soul, the Glazed Tile Pagoda, has only seven floors and can only carry seven soul rings.
But the idea that it could have nine soul rings and become a Titled Douluo was not a baseless fantasy. It really happened.
In history, two Nine Rings Title Douluo appeared, inheriting the title Nine Treasures, and both achieved it only after taking the highest-grade Natural Treasures.
Therefore, their family's long-standing wish and obsession has always been to pass down the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, or to find a replicable route. Unfortunately, such Natural Treasures belong only to those with virtue. For their family, the heavens have been somewhat cruel, leaving it within sight but out of reach." grandfather shook his head and sighed with emotion.
"Back to the point. Compared against the three traits of God-level Martial Souls:
Surpassing Innate Full Soul Power can be evened out through time and cultivation;
Domain Skills—we can comprehend Domains later in life. Many top inheritance clans have secret methods that raise the odds of comprehending a Domain, and our Chen Clan has them too. In fact, many Super Martial Souls come with Domains of their own. Anything is possible, hehe;
Ultimate Attributes—if we evolve into a Super Martial Soul before level 90, we will have more opportunities to comprehend an Ultimate Attribute.
The conclusion is that Super Martial Souls can stand against God-level Martial Souls. In fact, this has happened many times in history.
Also, do you remember what grandfather told you a few days ago about Titled Douluo breakthroughs?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.
Chen Xiaojun nodded and replied, "I remember. You said it involved comprehending will, the Martial Soul Entity in the middle and Lower Soul Nest merging into one with the Martial Soul Phantom in the Upper Soul Nest, the Martial Soul sublimating, and soul power liquefying."
Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction. "Fusion of the illusory and the real, Martial Soul sublimation. Sublimation, as the name suggests, is actually a kind of evolution.
In the end, all Titled Douluo Martial Souls are at least top-grade Seventh Grade Spirits, without exception. In other words, even if they start as advanced or intermediate Martial Souls, they can ultimately be sublimated into Top Martial Souls.
Therefore, what grandfather wants to tell you is that Martial Souls can continuously awaken and evolve. So no matter whether you awaken your father's Seven Kill Sword or your mother's Seven-Colored Begonia Bracelet, both have the possibility of reaching the peak and becoming Super Martial Souls.
Anything is possible!
You don't need to be nervous, and you don't need to worry about your Martial Soul."
Chen Yu looked at Chen Xiaojun with encouraging eyes.
Warmth filled Chen Xiaojun's heart, and he could not help saying, moved, "Thank you, grandfather!"
"But, grandfather, how do you know these secrets of other factions?"
"Haha, our Chen Clan has a long inheritance, and quite a few notable figures have appeared in our history. Some served as elders of Spirit Hall, some as offerings of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and some even became generals of the Two Great Empires. Otherwise, how could people say that our Chen Clan makes its home wherever it goes?"
"Right, grandfather, how many kinds of God-level Martial Souls are there?"
