It's That Simple

"Goddess Sister should know that I fused the Soul Hunting Spear with the iron spear I bought, right?"

Su Mo looked at Bibi Dong and said with a smile.

"I know..." Hearing Su Mo's words, Bibi Dong first nodded, then her eyes widened in disbelief. "Don't tell me this is how you made your Martial Soul evolve?"

If that was the case, it was far too simple.

Bibi Dong felt as though she were hearing things. How could Martial Soul Evolution possibly be this simple?!

"Yes, it's that simple!"

"I've always wanted to break through the limits of my Martial Soul talent, so I came up with this method. At first, I didn't expect it to succeed either..."

Su Mo spoke excitedly.

Of course, he would not say that he had discovered it by accident. He simply claimed it was something he had come up with.

Su Mo himself had been quite surprised that such a simple method could evolve a Martial Soul.

Moreover, Su Mo had tried other experiments with this method. He had worn a bracelet on his wrist and nourished it with Soul Power every day, yet after half a year, the bracelet had shown no reaction at all.

Su Mo guessed that perhaps only something fused with a Martial Soul could be refined.

In other words, it could only be refined through a Martial Soul, not through Soul Power.

Furthermore, the Martial Soul and the thing being refined had to be extremely similar, so that they would have sufficient compatibility.

And this method was only useful for Soul Masters with Weapon Spirits.

As for Beast Spirits, perhaps it might be possible, but it was difficult to possess the body of a soul beast with one's own Beast Spirit!

Of course, this was only Su Mo's speculation. He had succeeded, but whether other Soul Masters could use this method as well, Su Mo was not sure.

Still, Su Mo believed it was possible. This ability was not some golden finger unique to him!

It was simply that no one in the Douluo World had ever done this before.

They even looked down on weapons, so how could they possibly fuse them together like Su Mo had?

This method of evolution was like the New Cultivation Technique Su Mo had created himself. It was simple, yes, but Soul Masters in the Douluo World found it difficult to break free of their ingrained ways of thinking and attempt such things.

However, even if someone could do it, there probably would not be many. Besides keeping the Martial Soul and weapon fused together for a long time, one also needed sufficiently strong mental or spiritual power to push them into a state of refinement.

That was not something everyone could accomplish.

"..."

After hearing Su Mo's explanation, Bibi Dong's mouth fell open, and she remained speechless for a long while.

She was truly stunned, her beautiful eyes fixed on Su Mo before her in utter disbelief.

She had never imagined that Martial Souls could evolve in such a way, much less that Su Mo had discovered it.

"Y-you... who exactly are you?"

Bibi Dong stared at Su Mo with shock and suspicion in her eyes. This time, she truly felt that Su Mo was no ordinary person.

The method seemed simple, but it was not something an ordinary person could ever discover!

And in the future, she had never heard of anyone named Su Mo.

But that made even less sense. Someone capable of creating a New Cultivation Technique, and now discovering a way for Weapon Spirit Soul Masters to evolve their Martial Souls—how could he possibly remain unknown in the future?

"Me? I'm just me, aren't I?"

Su Mo's heart skipped slightly, but he still had no intention of telling Bibi Dong that he, like her, was a reincarnator.

"Then... then how were you able to create a new Soul Power Cultivation Technique and discover this method of Martial Soul Evolution?" Bibi Dong pressed on.

"I just wanted to prove myself. Even on my own, I could break through the limits of my Martial Soul talent!"

"Goddess Sister said only Yu Xiaogang could do it, but I refused to believe that!"

"Now Goddess Sister believes me, right? I can do it too!"

"On the other hand, Yu Xiaogang is still stuck at level 29 and hasn't broken through. Goddess Sister must have been fooled by him!"

Su Mo answered with an excited, proud expression.

"..."

Bibi Dong opened her mouth, still finding it difficult to believe.

However, after hearing Su Mo's words, she understood. It was because Su Mo had been provoked that he had wanted to break through the limits of his Martial Soul talent.

So in the end, was everything because of her?

She was the one who had sent Su Mo to become Yu Xiaogang's disciple. It was also because Su Mo had been rejected and suffered a blow that he later created the New Cultivation Technique and discovered the evolution method for Weapon Spirits.

If she had never appeared, Su Mo would probably have been like every other ordinarily talented Soul Master. No matter how hard he worked, he would ultimately have faded into obscurity.

That was why she had never heard Su Mo's name in the future.

Neither Su Mo's New Cultivation Technique nor the evolution method for Weapon Spirits had ever appeared.

"Yes, yes, yes. I underestimated you!"

If she had not heard Su Mo disparaging Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong might truly have marveled at him and praised him properly.

But after hearing him belittle Yu Xiaogang, she no longer felt much like praising Su Mo.

Still, she could not really refute him.

Because at this point, Yu Xiaogang truly had not found a way to break through the limits of Martial Soul talent. He was still stuck at level 29.

Now, she was also very curious about exactly when Yu Xiaogang had found a solution, and whether it would be as shocking as Su Mo's method.

"Hurry up and test your evolved Martial Soul!"

Not wanting to talk about Yu Xiaogang any further, Bibi Dong hurriedly changed the subject.

"Alright!"

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Su Mo nodded.

Then, Su Mo's consciousness withdrew from the Spirit Space.

Swish~

Bibi Dong's Divine Sense followed him outside as well.

Martial Soul Summoning!

Su Mo ignored Bibi Dong. With a thought, he summoned his brand-new Martial Soul.

The evolved Soul Hunting Spear soon appeared in Su Mo's hands.

Gripping the spear with both hands, Su Mo swung it freely several times and immediately felt wonderful. The evolved Soul Hunting Spear was indeed much stronger than before.

"Although it evolved, its feel and destructive power are actually inferior to when they hadn't fully fused together yet!"

However, after testing its power, Su Mo realized something was wrong.

When the original Soul Hunting Spear and iron spear had been overlaid and used together, the result had been one plus one equaling two.

Yet now that they had completely fused, they were actually inferior to before.

"Forget about that for now. Try cultivating with the original Meditation Method!"

Su Mo cared about the Soul Hunting Spear's power, but Bibi Dong cared whether its quality had truly evolved. She immediately urged him on.

Whether it had truly evolved could be determined simply by cultivating with the evolved Soul Hunting Spear using the Soul Power Cultivation Technique of the Meditation Method.

If it had, then it would prove she had not been mistaken. Su Mo's Martial Soul had indeed evolved in every aspect, and the upper limit of his cultivation—his level cap—had been completely changed.

That meant Su Mo had a chance of reaching the Soul Saint level.

And he would also have a chance of helping her awaken.

At that thought, Bibi Dong's heart began pounding rapidly, filled with nervousness and excitement.
