Devouring Sword Soul

Chapter 2 Devouring Sword Soul

Back at home.

Lin Bai's Sword Martial Soul, from the blade to the hilt, was as black as ink, like a sword forged from a mass of dark matter.

"A Sword Martial Soul isn't bad either; I happen to like practicing with swords!"

After a brief moment of disappointment, Lin Bai regained his fighting spirit. So what if it was a Yellow Rank One Martial Soul? The path of martial arts values diligence.

Lin Bai firmly believed that even with a Yellow Rank One Martial Soul, he could still achieve something as long as he was willing to work hard.

"Devouring Sword Soul! It devours everything under the heavens, leaving nothing un-devoured, nothing un-slain!"

"Although it is a Yellow Rank One Martial Soul, its potential far surpasses even a God-Rank Soul!"

"It can rapidly break through cultivation realms by devouring the Bloodline Power within demon beasts."

As Lin Bai focused all his attention on communicating with his Martial Soul, the Sword Martial Soul suddenly provided an introduction.

These three simple sentences completely stunned Lin Bai!

"So, my Martial Soul isn't an ordinary Sword Martial Soul, but a Devouring Sword Soul, and it can also rapidly improve my cultivation by devouring the Bloodline Power within demon beasts!"

"Hahaha, truly, when Heaven closes all doors, it opens a window!"

"Lin Zier, you never would have imagined that the Yellow Rank One Martial Soul you mocked and looked down upon is actually a Devouring Sword Soul comparable to a God-Rank Soul!"

"Just you wait, I will make you and everyone else who laughed at me today regret it!"

Lin Bai carefully studied the Devouring Sword Soul for three days.

During these three days, Lin Bai also consumed many elixirs.

Using the Devouring Sword Soul, he perfectly absorbed all the medicinal power of the elixirs.

And Lin Bai's martial arts realm also broke through to the Martial Dao Third Level.

"In just three days, the Devouring Sword Soul allowed me to break through to the Martial Dao Third Level."

"As expected of a Devouring Sword Soul comparable to a God-Rank Soul!"

Lin Bai was overjoyed: "Now that I have awakened my Martial Soul, according to what my father left behind, I can go and collect the cultivation resources he left for me when he departed."

"After collecting the cultivation resources my father left behind, I will go and find demon beast blood for the Devouring Sword Soul to devour. With elixirs and demon beast blood working together, my realm will definitely break through rapidly!"

Before Lin Bai's father, Lin Duo, left Spirit Rhino City, he entrusted a very generous amount of cultivation resources to the Lin family for safekeeping.

He instructed the Lin family to hand over these cultivation resources to Lin Bai after he turned sixteen and awakened his Martial Soul.

These cultivation resources were enough for Lin Bai to cultivate from the Martial Dao Realm to the Heaven Martial Realm!

The Martial Dao Realm is strictly divided, from low to high: Martial Dao Ninth Level, True Martial Realm, Profound Martial Realm, Earth Martial Realm, Heaven Martial Realm, Divine Core Realm!

In front of the Elders Council.

After a disciple announced his arrival, Lin Bai entered the Elders Council.

Inside the Elders Council, the elders sat in their seats, looking at Lin Bai with smiles on their faces.

"Lin Bai, I heard that your Martial Soul awakening results were not ideal. You didn't even surpass my son, Lin Xuan, hahaha. But don't be discouraged; the path of martial arts values diligence."

Lin Tianheng, an elder of the Lin family, said to Lin Bai with a smile.

Lin Tianheng's son, Lin Xuan, awakened a Yellow Rank Six Martial Soul, which had indeed made him a prominent figure in the Elders Council and Spirit Rhino City.

"That's right, Lin Bai, don't be discouraged. Although my daughter awakened a Yellow Rank Nine, which is seven or eight ranks higher than you, diligence is key. As long as you work hard, I believe you can definitely achieve something."

Another elder, Lin Tianhai, also said with a smile.

Lin Tianhai's daughter, named Lin Shanshan, awakened her Martial Soul at the same time as Lin Bai.

Lin Bai looked at these elders with a sneer. These people were all of the same generation as Lin Bai's father. Back then, Lin Duo's Martial Soul was so high that they were completely overshadowed by his brilliance.

Unfortunately, Lin Duo's whereabouts were now unknown, and Lin Bai was a good-for-nothing. They could finally find some sense of existence in Lin Bai.

What was most regrettable was that they probably didn't know that Lin Bai's Martial Soul was far more powerful than their Profound Grade and Earth Grade Souls!

After a cold laugh, Lin Bai smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, elders. Lin Bai has not given up on martial arts because of his Yellow Rank One martial arts talent. I have come to the Elders Council today to retrieve what my father left in the Elders Council."

"What things?" An elder pretended to be ignorant and asked.

Lin Bai said, "Naturally, it is the cultivation resources that my father asked you to keep for me, enough for me to cultivate to the Heaven Martial Realm!"

Upon hearing that Lin Bai wanted to take away the cultivation resources that Lin Duo had left behind, the elders all hesitated and looked troubled.

They all knew that the martial arts resources left by Lin Duo were enough for a disciple to cultivate to the Heaven Martial Realm.

Lin Bai asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Do the elders have any objections?"

Lin Taiheng, the Great Elder of the Lin family, who held a high position, coughed lightly and said seriously, "The Elders Council has decided to give these cultivation resources to Lin Zier!"

"What!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai was struck by lightning!

If Lin Bai wanted to cultivate quickly, these cultivation resources were extremely important!

Lin Bai said angrily, "These are the cultivation resources my father left for me, only temporarily kept by you. What right do you have to distribute them to others privately!"

"Are you not afraid of my father's wrath when he returns?"

Lin Bai roared.

"Lin Bai, this is the Elders Council, not a place for your insolence."

"What are you yelling about? Who do you think you are, daring to roar in the Elders Council? Let me tell you, if it weren't for our consideration of Lin Duo's contributions to the family, we could have expelled you from the Lin family for just that one sentence!"

"Lin Duo? Heh, it's hard to say if he's even dead!"

"Alas, Lin Bai, your Yellow Rank One Martial Soul, even if you work hard to cultivate, it will be in vain. It's better to distribute these cultivation resources to Lin Zier; she will surely achieve more than you in the future!" Lin Taiheng sighed softly.

Lin Bai, listening to the cold ridicule in the Elders Council, was so angry that his hair stood on end: "A bunch of old fogeys, trying to embezzle the cultivation resources my father left me, dream on!"

"Give them to Lin Zier? Hmph, that good-for-nothing, what can a treacherous and venomous woman achieve?!"

Lin Taiheng, hearing Lin Bai scold Lin Zier, immediately roared, "Lin Bai, who are you calling a good-for-nothing!"

Lin Tianhai also angrily said, "Lin Bai, you will pay the price for what you have done today!"

"Am I wrong? Lin Zier is a treacherous and venomous woman; what future does she have!" Lin Bai sneered.

"Whether I have a future or not is not for a Yellow Rank One waste like you to judge."

At this moment, a woman walked in from outside the Elders Council.

It was none other than Lin Zier.

Lin Zier was dressed in purple, noble and elegant, with an arrogant face and eyes that looked down on Lin Bai with contempt.

This look made Lin Bai feel extremely humiliated. Lin Bai vowed to remember this contemptuous look for the rest of his life!

Lin Zier said coldly, "Father, esteemed elders, why waste words with a good-for-nothing? Just beat him out with sticks."

"Lin Zier, don't be too arrogant. The road is long; who knows who will become king!" Lin Bai said coldly.

Lin Zier sneered, "Is that so? Do you really think a Yellow Rank One Martial Soul can stand shoulder to shoulder with me? Don't even mention me; even Lin Xuan and Lin Hai are people you can never catch up to in your entire life."

"If you insist on saying that, fine, I'll give you a chance. In two months, the Divine Martial Nation's four major sects will come to Spirit Rhino City to recruit disciples."

"At that time, I will join the Azure Cloud Terrace Palace, the strongest of the four major sects, as the number one in Spirit Rhino City."

"This will be your last chance to catch up to me. Do you dare to fight me at the disciple recruitment conference in two months?"

"What wouldn't I dare!" Lin Bai directly replied, "In two months, I will definitely defeat you!"

Lin Zier sneered, "I'll be waiting!"

Lin Bai took a deep look at the elders in the Elders Council and Lin Zier, waved his sleeves, and angrily walked out of the Elders Council: "A bunch of old dogs, and Lin Zier, you wait. In two months, I will let you know who the real genius is!"

"Stealing the cultivation resources my father left me, I will let you know that some things, once you touch them, you will have to pay the price with your life!"

Inside the Elders Council.

The Great Elder Lin Taiheng asked, "Zier, you were too rash. Two months from now, are you confident?"

Lin Zier chuckled, "Heh, Father, you underestimate your daughter too much. I have a Heaven-Rank Soul. Don't even mention Lin Bai; there can't be an opponent for me within ten thousand miles of Spirit Rhino City!"

"Father, give me the cultivation resources Lin Duo left behind first. Within two months, I must cultivate to the Martial Dao Ninth Level and show my talent at the disciple recruitment conference."

"As long as I can enter the Azure Cloud Terrace Palace, that will be the time for me, Lin Zier, to soar into the sky."

"At that time, even if Lin Duo returns, I will not fear him!"

Lin Zier said confidently.

The Azure Cloud Terrace Palace, one of the four peerless sects in the Divine Martial Nation, is a martial arts sanctuary that countless martial artists in the Divine Martial Nation dream of!
