How Much of Tang San's Innate Full Soul Power Was Real? Could Congenital Deficiency Also Have an Effect?

When Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue saw the words "Asura God King," their expressions turned grave as they fell into thought. One had begun the Rakshasa God Test years ago, while the other had been chosen by the Angel God. Both knew that Gods truly existed in this world.

However, they did not know much about the ranks of the Gods. The information they had received was exceedingly simple: the Rakshasa God governed all the evil thoughts in the world, while the Angel God governed light.

Yet the system's description of the Asura God was "law enforcer" and "God King." At a glance, it was clear that the Asura God held no low position in the God Realm and possessed tremendous strength.

Both women's expressions became somewhat ugly. Could it be that they could never make a move against Tang San? That was unrealistic.

Still, this warning from the system temporarily dispelled their thoughts of trying to pry Tang San's cultivation technique out of him. The risk was too great; it was not worth it.

But I personally did not quite agree with this claim. First, let's analyze Tang San's two Martial Souls. As a universally acknowledged top-tier Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer indeed had the potential to reach innate level ten, but the odds were extremely low. Otherwise, the Clear Sky Sect would have produced a whole bunch of geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power long ago, and it would not have sealed off its mountain gates after being pressured by Spirit Hall over what happened back then.

As for the Blue Silver Emperor, it was the emperor of the Blue Silver Clan, and Ah Yin was also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. After taking human form, she would naturally possess innate level ten Soul Power. In other words, the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul likewise had the potential to reach innate level ten.

But here was the crucial point: Tang San's current First Martial Soul was not the Blue Silver Emperor. It was merely Blue Silver Grass that possessed the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline. Though such a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul would be of higher quality than ordinary Blue Silver Grass, it absolutely could not possess the same potential as the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

If I had to put a number on it, its potential ceiling was perhaps only around level six or seven. Compared to a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul that did not even have one level of Innate Soul Power, that was already outrageous.

One of the requirements for a soul master to possess Twin Martial Souls was for the two Martial Souls to be similar in quality. That meant Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer had to be close in quality to his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. In other words, under ideal circumstances, Tang San's Innate Soul Power could only be around level six or seven at most.

But if it was merely level six or seven, then it was less than three levels away from Innate Full Soul Power. Tang San had cultivated for about two years before his Mysterious Heaven Skill reached the peak of its first level. His Soul Power had only increased by three levels in two years. That was absurdly slow.

The women felt that Dai Yichen was no longer simply writing a diary. He had gotten a little too carried away, and with nowhere else to vent his thoughts, he could only record them in his diary as an outlet while earning system rewards.

They did not find anything strange about it. Dai Yichen had said from the start that he used to hate writing diaries because his life never changed much, so he simply wrote whatever came to mind. Yet that was precisely the kind of behavior they wanted to see!

Not only could they enjoy the spectacle, but they could also receive rewards. Most importantly, they could learn in advance about certain events happening across the continent, as well as future changes in the situation and more.

Still, two years to cultivate three levels of Soul Power really was a bit slow, wasn't it? Unless Tang San's true Innate Soul Power was even lower! Dai Yichen's next sentence confirmed their suspicions.

So it was obvious that Tang San's Innate Soul Power could not possibly have been level six or seven. It had to be lower. But judging by the quality of the Clear Sky Hammer and his parents' talent, no matter how low Tang San's Innate Soul Power was, it could not have been below level five.

There was also an even more important point. Tang San had lived a very impoverished life with Tang Hao since childhood. Tang Hao only occasionally forged iron to sell in the village for some money, and with Old Jack's concern and charity added in, otherwise it would have been questionable whether Tang San could even survive long enough to learn how to walk.

After he learned simple actions like walking, Tang San had to start taking care of Tang Hao's daily needs. In such an environment, Tang San was bound to have suffered from malnutrition as a child, leaving his entire body frail and weak.

In my speculation, this would more or less affect the upper limit of Innate Soul Power. The Mysterious Heaven Skill nourished and repaired the meridians within the body during cultivation, and Tang San had also practiced Tang Sect Secret Techniques from childhood to strengthen his physique. Otherwise, given that kind of environment, I felt it would have been questionable whether Tang San even had level two or three Innate Soul Power.

Could childhood malnutrition affect Innate Soul Power too?

This was the first time they had heard such a theory. What basis was there for it?

Although they were doubtful, this seemed to be the only possibility that could explain why Tang San needed two years of cultivation to raise his Soul Power to level ten.

As the foremost authority on theory, Bibi Dong carefully pondered this novel idea. Since Dai Yichen had said so, there had to be some relevant source behind it. Had she overlooked something somewhere?

Bibi Dong fell into a mental storm, searching through all the knowledge she had acquired in an attempt to find supporting evidence, but she failed.

Still, that was perfectly normal. After all, the only evidence Dai Yichen had for saying this did not exist in this timeline, but ten thousand years in the future!

Huo Yuhao was a living example. His father was the White Tiger Duke, while his mother was an ordinary civilian with no Soul Power.

According to the theory of Martial Soul inheritance, there was a ninety-eight percent chance that Huo Yuhao should have inherited his father's White Tiger Martial Soul, and the White Tiger Martial Soul could not possibly have low Innate Soul Power.

But something unexpected happened. What Huo Yuhao awakened was the White Tiger's eyes—a Spirit Eyes Body Martial Soul. Even so, it was an exceedingly rare spiritual-type eye Body Martial Soul, yet his Innate Soul Power was a pitiful level one!

That was simply ridiculous.

According to the Body Sect's claims in later generations, the more vital the awakened Body Martial Soul's corresponding body part was, the higher one's Innate Soul Power would be.

And the eyes were one of the body's vital parts, which contradicted the Body Sect's theory.

Of course, there were exceptions to everything, but Huo Yuhao was not one of them.

The Spirit Eyes Martial Soul had evolved and mutated from the White Tiger Martial Soul. As a top-tier Martial Soul, the White Tiger Martial Soul could not possibly produce such a weak Spirit Eyes Martial Soul through evolution and mutation. Everything had a lower limit.

Under normal circumstances, the lower limit for the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul's Innate Soul Power would not be level one either, unless there were unusual circumstances.

And Huo Yuhao was precisely such an exception. Because of his environment, his body had been congenitally deficient and malnourished. This condition only gradually improved after he obtained the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Tang San's childhood circumstances were actually quite similar to Huo Yuhao's. His original body had died after being caught in the aftermath of a battle, so even if there were no visible external wounds, he likely had internal injuries. Coupled with his own malnutrition, Dai Yichen had reason to speculate that perhaps Tang San's Innate Soul Power was even a little lower than imagined.
