I Was Set Up by Capital

"In an era when I needed to compete with Tian Meng, I awakened a Soul Power Martial Soul without a Mental Attribute and directly lost my greatest opportunity."

"In an age without Main Body cultivation techniques, I awakened a Body Martial Soul and had to start completely from scratch."

"In the era when the Silver Dragon King emerged, I awakened an Elemental Control Martial Soul..."

Su Ming: ...

"I must have been set up by capital."

The three great Martial Souls corresponded to Essence, Qi, and Spirit. That was very good, but wasn't this distribution of Martial Souls far too targeted?

"If I didn't span the past and future and form a Trinity, then in the era of any one Main Body, I probably would have struggled to make a name for myself, right?"

Making a name for himself ten thousand years ago, when the Body Martial Soul had no prestige?

Was developing a Body Martial Soul really that simple?

As Su Ming knew, in this era of the Peerless Tang Clan, the foundation of the Body Sect's strength lay in its various combat techniques. Every Soul Master with a Body Martial Soul mastered combat techniques passed down within the sect, and that was the root of their power.

In the future ten thousand years later, the Body Sect also possessed Bloodline Power cultivation methods and all kinds of secret techniques.

No matter how one put it, Body Martial Souls were powerful, but all powerful Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls only became so after their Second Awakening. That generally required at least the rank of Soul King, while most needed to reach Soul Emperor first.

"Grandpa, my Soul Power counts as part of my body too, right? After all, Soul Power is also part of a Soul Master's body," Su Ming said as he found Su Can.

Su Can looked at his grandson and understood what he was thinking.

"You want to find the Body Sect?"

This...

Su Can frowned.

That would be difficult.

Although the Body Sect claimed to accept all Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls, its sphere of activity was concentrated in the Douluo Three Kingdoms. It had very little presence within the Sun Moon Realm. In particular, the Sun Moon Empire's royal family was not friendly toward the Body Sect and conducted extremely strict inspections within its territory. They did not permit any powerful Soul Masters from the Douluo Three Kingdoms to appear within their borders. Once discovered, a Soul Master Corps would certainly be dispatched to eliminate them.

Of course, Su Ming knew that as well.

But as long as it was within his capabilities, he still had to enter the Body Sect.

What his past self needed most was the Body Sect's training. Yet there had been no Body Sect ten thousand years ago, nor any fellow Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls, so he could only look to the future for a solution.

"The Body Sect is far too hard to find in the era ten thousand years later. An Elemental Control Martial Soul also has no reason to join the Body Sect. Only my current self can make a move and barely pass as having a Body Martial Soul."

For now, he still did not know what relationship existed between the worlds inhabited by his past, present, and future selves. Nor could he use their connection to pull anything off. He could only exploit the information gap.

Ten thousand years later.

Su Ming slowly opened his eyes.

All kinds of colored specks of light appeared in his world.

Having only just awakened, he had instinctively closed his eyes to sense them. Yet now, even with his eyes open, he could still feel the existence of those light specks.

This was not a visual effect, but a perception—a perception on the mental level.

"An Elemental Control Martial Soul?"

The Spirit Pagoda steward was surprised by Su Ming's Martial Soul and completed his registration based on Su Ming's simple description.

"Let's test your Innate Soul Power first."

Su Ming nodded and stepped forward, placing his hand on the Soul Power testing compass.

"Ten!"

His gaze flickered slightly, but he was not particularly surprised.

Instead, the Spirit Pagoda steward reacted strongly. After exclaiming that Su Ming possessed Innate Full Soul Power, he invited him to join the Spirit Pagoda.

Su Ming considered it for a moment before deciding to join.

In this era, joining a major power was inevitable. Joining one would make everything much more convenient. Among Shrek, the Tang Sect, the Spirit Pagoda, and the War God Temple, Su Ming could only choose the Spirit Pagoda.

Right now, Su Ming had an important task: learning auxiliary professions.

"Of the four great auxiliary professions, I might be able to master them all."

Su Ming had three Main Bodies, which gave him effectively three times the time to study three auxiliary professions.

It was worth mentioning that although he was a Trinity and shared a single consciousness, dividing his focus did not affect the insights or thoughts of the three Main Bodies.

The three Main Bodies were all independent individuals. Their Seas of Consciousness were complete, and each possessed a mental Origin.

His consciousness handled overall coordination, while their individual insights and thoughts were assigned to each Main Body's brain.

"The four auxiliary professions are Blacksmith, Mecha Designer, Mecha Manufacturer, and Mecha Repairman. A Mecha Repairman is responsible for 'after-sales service.' In truth, it is merely an extension of Mecha Designer and Mecha Manufacturer. As long as my three Main Bodies master Blacksmith, Mecha Designer, and Mecha Manufacturer, it will be equivalent to mastering all four professions."

Led by the steward, Su Ming joined the Spirit Pagoda. Through his questions to the steward, he also learned some practical details about Mecha Repairmen.

It was just as he had thought. A Mecha Repairman was essentially someone who studied both Mecha Design and Mecha Manufacturing. They had to learn both the design of Core Arrays and the manufacture of Core Arrays. Of course, their workload was less than that of Mecha Designers and Mecha Manufacturers, and they did not bear the pressure of the early stages. They only needed to provide repairs once a Mecha was damaged and accumulate experience.

In a Battle Armor Master's team, Mecha Repairmen were also indispensable. They handled the subsequent improvements to Battle Armor. Generally, once Battle Armor had been produced, the Mecha Designer and Mecha Manufacturer were finished with their work. Later, if the Battle Armor Master made further breakthroughs or had new ideas for the Battle Armor, those would need to be carried out through a Mecha Repairman, who would make limited upgrades, revisions, and refinements to the Core Array.

Therefore, as long as one mastered both Mecha Design and Mecha Manufacturing, there was no need to separately learn the skills of a Mecha Repairman.

Sky Sea Spirit Pagoda.

"Your talent is excellent. The Branch Tower Master of our Sky Sea Spirit Pagoda thinks highly of you." After completing Su Ming's entry procedures, the steward encouraged him, "Work hard. If your future performance is good, there's a high chance that the Tower Master will take you as his disciple."

Su Ming nodded.

The Spirit Pagoda had administrators in every city, but only the Spirit Pagodas in larger cities had Branch Tower Masters. Skysea City itself did not count as such a city, but it was connected to many coastal cities, including the Skysea Alliance. Moreover, the coastal regions had been developing rapidly recently, so the Spirit Pagoda in Skysea City had also been assigned a Branch Tower Master.

Even a Branch Tower Master was still a Tower Master, a supreme powerhouse within the Spirit Pagoda. No one below the rank of Super Douluo could hold the position.

Those who became Branch Tower Masters generally possessed not only talent and strength, but also exceptional methods of their own, with intricate forces behind them.

Becoming a Branch Tower Master's disciple would be quite good as well.

Su Ming still knew his own limits. In this era, Innate Full Soul Power was no longer an especially outrageous talent. It was not common everywhere, but the number awakened in each generation had already surpassed the number of Limit Douluos. Innate Full Soul Power alone could not make Limit Douluos compete to take him as a disciple. Having a Super Douluo take an interest in him was already a perfect start.

"Let's go. The Tower Master is already waiting for you."

The steward led Su Ming to the upper levels of the Spirit Pagoda and entered one of the rooms.

The room was filled with a futuristic atmosphere. There were many glass spheres resembling eggs, each containing various rare Soul Spirits.

"Tower Master, Su Ming has arrived."

"Mm. You may leave first."
