Martial Soul Naming, Abnormal Soul Power

"Lighter still," Chen An said tentatively, carefully sensing the changes.

The heavy hammer became even lighter, and Chen An clearly felt the change.

"A little smaller?" Chen An suddenly thought of something and tried saying it.

Sure enough, the hammer shrank in size. After his repeated attempts, it became the size of a forging hammer.

Its weight also dropped to just over a hundred jin, a weight he could easily bear.

"It actually has some of the traits of the Ruyi Jingu Bang." The way Chen An looked at the hammer changed greatly.

It could shrink, and its weight could decrease. That was truly rather extraordinary.

He then tried making the hammer larger and heavier, but the result was somewhat disappointing.

The hammer's maximum weight and size were both the same as when it had first appeared.

"I was asking for too much. Being able to shrink and become lighter is already quite good." Chen An shook his head.

After studying it for a while longer, he began considering a name for the hammer.

Not only the hammer—his ape Martial Soul should have a name as well.

"This ape isn't any kind of ape soul beast found on the continent, yet it is no inferior to any ape."

"Its Bloodline is on par with the Death God Dragon, so it should have a more imposing name."

"Golden Armor War God Ape?" Chen An thought of a name.

Golden armor was the best description of the ape's appearance, while War God was an aspiration.

The ape's overall impression was that it had been born for battle.

Naming it after a war god did seem rather fitting.

"Then that will be your name: Golden Armor War God Ape. I hope that when I use your power in the future, I can truly be like a war god."

After thinking it over, Chen An settled on the name without dwelling on it too much.

"As for the weapon's name, let's call it the Profound Gold Battle Hammer." Chen An named it as well.

His second source of power now had names: Golden Armor War God Ape and Profound Gold Battle Hammer.

Chen An withdrew the Creation Holy Tree back into his body, and the armor and battle hammer disappeared.

Feeling the fluctuations of his own power, Chen An could not help frowning slightly.

A question arose in his mind. His Soul Power had increased, but it did not seem to have risen by much.

More accurately, it had not increased by the enormous amount he had imagined. The increase was limited.

"I'll have to ask Di Tian and the others about my Soul Power Level." Chen An could not judge it himself.

He did not know much about the power of soul masters, so he could not determine his level based on the energy within him.

He could only feel that he had grown stronger.

As for how much that translated to in terms of Soul Power, he had no way of knowing.

After sensing his condition for a while, he opened the door and walked out.

The moment he opened the door, he saw Gu Yue Na sitting on a stone bench in the distance.

She was leisurely eating breakfast there, with an entire table full of food before her.

As Chen An looked at Gu Yue Na, she looked back at him as well.

"I had Di Tian prepare breakfast for you too. It's outside your door," Gu Yue Na said, gesturing with her eyes.

Chen An stepped out of the room and looked to the side, where he saw several large, bulging bags.

There was enough breakfast there to fill dozens of grown men.

Seeing how much food there was, Chen An was a little dumbfounded. Did she take him for a bottomless pit?

He then looked at the breakfast covering the table in front of Gu Yue Na and suddenly understood.

She had asked Di Tian to prepare his food according to her own appetite.

"I'll do my best to eat it." Chen An was not sure of his own appetite either, but he really was a little hungry now.

Carrying the large bags of food, Chen An walked toward the stone table where Gu Yue Na was sitting.

"Eat the food on the table first. It's all the same anyway, so you can mix and match."

Gu Yue Na did not seem opposed to Chen An eating at the same table as her.

"Alright." Chen An nodded, set the bags aside, and unceremoniously picked up food from the table to eat.

As Chen An ate, he carefully considered his words, wanting to ask how he had returned.

"How long was I asleep?" Chen An asked.

"Two and a half days. You somehow fainted in the Spirit Pagoda back then."

"After Di Tian found you, he brought you back. You slept until now."

Gu Yue Na spoke after swallowing an entire bun, then calmly took a sip of soy milk.

"Two and a half days?" Chen An was somewhat surprised. He had actually slept for so long.

"Mm. I'm very curious about what exactly happened to you then. Why did you fall unconscious?"

"After Di Tian brought you back, I examined your body."

"There was no sign that your body had been damaged from excessive energy."

"You had no injuries either. It seemed to be nothing more than a deep sleep caused by mental exhaustion."

"Does absorbing a soul spirit consume that much mental energy?" Gu Yue Na asked curiously.

Chen An looked at Gu Yue Na and many thoughts passed through his mind.

The first question that came to mind was why Di Tian had known he went to the Spirit Pagoda.

He must have followed him, which was why he had gone to the Spirit Pagoda and taken him away.

The second question was whether Gu Yue Na already knew that he had absorbed a soul spirit.

From the way she acted, she did not seem to have any objection to him absorbing one.

"Absorbing a soul spirit isn't particularly difficult, but it isn't easy either."

"It is also a test of one's spiritual power. Before that, I had stayed awake all night."

"My mind was already exhausted, and the effects of absorbing the soul spirit caused me to faint."

Chen An explained, naturally unwilling to say that he had fainted because of visualization.

"The next time you absorb a soul spirit, you should make sure to rest properly first," Gu Yue Na reminded him.

She did not seem inclined to say more on the subject and continued eating.

Chen An also silently ate for a while, thinking about many things.

He hesitated over whether to mention why Di Tian had known his whereabouts.

He could use the opportunity to warn him not to think about monitoring or following him.

But after thinking it over, he gave up on the idea.

He did not have the strength to warn the other party yet, so it was better to endure it for now.

There was no need to bring the matter up openly either. Otherwise, neither side would be able to save face.

"Di Tian probably only followed me to the Spirit Pagoda and did not spy any further."

"Otherwise, Gu Yue Na would not have asked why I fainted."

Chen An thought to himself, which made him relax slightly. The situation was not too bad.

"Since you examined my body, you should know my Soul Power Level, right?"

Chen An could not help asking. He was quite curious about his Soul Power Level.

Gu Yue Na nodded. Only after swallowing her food did she say, "Level eleven."

"However, your power is extremely dense. Your level eleven Soul Power is probably more enduring than the Soul Power of many level seventeen or eighteen soul masters."

"Also, your power seems somewhat strange. It doesn't have any attribute."

"But aren't you of the Death Attribute?" Gu Yue Na looked at Chen An in confusion.

At the mention of Soul Power, she happened to recall the anomaly she had detected earlier.

"Only level eleven?" Chen An appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was astonished.

After all, he had absorbed three soul spirits whose combined ages exceeded a thousand years.

Of course, they could not simply be added together. There was a minor qualitative change between a hundred-year and thousand-year level.

Several soul spirits of several hundred years each could add up to more than a thousand years.

But in terms of energy intensity, they might not necessarily compare to a thousand-year soul spirit.

The soul spirits he had absorbed added up to nearly fifteen hundred years.

Combined, their energy could reach the equivalent of a thousand-year soul spirit.

In other words, he had absorbed a thousand-year soul spirit, yet his Soul Power had only risen by one level?

First chapter of the day. Please vote with monthly tickets, add this to your collection, and send recommendation tickets.

For every day that monthly tickets exceed ten—excluding the six monthly tickets automatically given by the update system—I'll add an extra chapter. If recommendation tickets exceed fifty, I'll add another chapter. If collections exceed two hundred, I'll add another chapter. I mean what I say. I hope everyone can support me more, and we can motivate each other.

Yesterday, there were no monthly tickets, a little over forty recommendation tickets, and over sixty collections, so there will be no extra chapter today.

I hope those with tickets can vote. The recommendation ticket requirement for an extra chapter is still easy to reach, so everyone can send a few more.
