Incomplete Law of Strength

Hearing Su Lie's question, Su Hao put away the Soul Spirit and closed his eyes, carefully sensing the effects of his First Soul Ring.

A moment later, Su Hao opened his eyes with a hint of excitement. Without waiting for Su Lie and Na'er to ask, he said,

"Dad, Na'er, my First Soul Skill—or rather, all my future Soul Skills—will not grant me any active offensive Soul Skills. They can only exist as passive support-type Soul Skills.

If I want offensive Soul Skills, I can only develop them through the attributes of these Soul Spirits, combined with the amplification of those attributes by my Martial Soul.

My First Soul Ring is Power Control. Its effect is to double my strength, defense, and endurance. At level twenty, it will triple them; at level thirty, quadruple them; and so on. That is the effect when I use the Soul Skill.

In addition, it has doubled my physique, and every time I level up in the future, it will improve my physique a little more.

Right now, I estimate that a single punch of mine can deliver around one or two hundred jin of force."

After hearing Su Hao finish introducing his abilities, Su Lie's heart was stirred into Raging Waves. This Soul Skill would be immensely powerful in the later stages. Its strength might not be apparent in the early stages, but once Su Hao cultivated to the later stages, so what if he had no active offensive Soul Skills?

After all, this was no longer several Ten Thousand Years ago, when Soul Tools had been underdeveloped. Soul Tools were now highly advanced. Even ordinary people could use the power of Soul Tools to kill Soul Masters at level seventy or eighty. Soul Masters could wield Soul Tools far more effectively than ordinary people, not to mention the existence of Battle Armor. Therefore, offensive Soul Skills were not a problem for Su Hao at all.

Even if Su Hao could not develop any Soul Skills, he still had Soul Tools to make up for that weakness.

Thinking of this, Su Lie was about to comfort Su Hao, only to see that Su Hao did not seem to care about the matter. Su Lie sighed inwardly, assuming that the youth was simply proud and thought developing Self-Created Soul Skills would be easy. He could comfort him after he ran into a wall.

With that thought, Su Lie praised Su Hao's Soul Skill a few times before leaving.

Na'er did not understand the implications behind it all. She only knew that Su Hao had obtained his First Soul Skill, and she was sincerely happy for him.

After sending the two away, Su Hao returned to his room to cultivate. What Su Lie and Na'er did not know was that Su Hao had not told them the full truth about his First Soul Skill—or rather, what he had just said was not true at all.

Only Su Hao himself knew which parts had been true and which had been false. It was true that he could not obtain main offensive Soul Skills, and it was also true that his physique had improved. Everything else had been false.

What he had obtained was not a Soul Skill at all, but an Incomplete Law of Strength. Every ten levels Su Hao gained, this Incomplete Law of Strength would be repaired a little, until it was fully restored after level one hundred.

Each time the Law of Strength was repaired, it would feed a portion of its power back to Su Hao to temper his body.

For now, Su Hao could only use the Law of Strength to attack, developing Soul Skills or Divine Abilities that belonged to him through the Law of Strength. Even if he failed to develop them, the blessing of the Law of Strength alone would let him smash an enemy to death with one punch.

But with the Heaven-Defying Comprehension and Great Fortune traits, developing Soul Skills or Divine Abilities would be somewhat difficult for Su Hao, but certainly not too difficult.

In just this short while, Su Hao had already come up with an idea for a Self-Created Soul Skill: use his punch to rapidly rub against the air, creating an airwave that would blast toward the enemy.

In theory, as long as his strength was sufficient, it really could be done. And what he controlled was precisely the Law of Strength. Even if it was incomplete, it was enough to support this theory.

Thus, Su Hao made up his mind to find an open space someday and test the theory.

If it worked, he would gain a long-range attack method, and it would be an offensive Soul Skill that consumed no Soul Power.

With that in mind, Su Hao calmed himself and immersed himself in cultivation.

A night passed. When Su Hao woke from his cultivation, he discovered that something was wrong. After cultivating Soul Power all night, it had not increased at all.

Instead, he found that his Soul Power had become compressed. Su Hao was not certain about this discovery, so he decided to cultivate for a few more nights and see.

As he was thinking about it, Su Hao heard Na'er calling from outside. He quickly got dressed, tidied himself up, and went with Na'er to eat breakfast.

A few days later, through his experiments and Su Lie's confirmation, Su Hao discovered that the Soul Power he was currently cultivating was indeed being compressed within his previous level. Only after all the Soul Power within that level had been compressed could he advance another level.

After learning this, Su Hao was no longer as diligent as before. He set aside only a few fixed hours each day for cultivation and used the rest of his time to study a Second Profession.

When Su Lie heard that Su Hao wanted to study a Second Profession, he gathered introductory books on every type of Second Profession and gave them to Su Hao, telling him to choose one to learn.

Looking at the books on every type of Second Profession that Su Lie had collected for him, Su Hao thought to himself,

"If I choose only one Second Profession to cultivate, then when I cooperate with others to make Battle Armor or mecha in the future, they may learn the specific details of my Martial Soul.

But if I do not want to tell them, what we make will not suit my own needs.

In that case, I might as well learn every Second Profession. I have Heaven-Defying Comprehension, so these will not be too difficult for me. At most, it will cost me some time, and it will all be worth it."

With that thought, Su Hao firmed up his resolve and decided to learn every Second Profession.

When Su Lie learned that Su Hao wanted to study every Second Profession, he tried to dissuade him. But after realizing that Su Hao was determined, he said nothing more.

He could only gather all the high-level Second Profession masters in Aolai City to teach Su Hao. Thus, with this group of Level 4 and Level 5 Second Profession masters, along with the books he had found earlier, Su Hao passed the Level 1 examinations for every Second Profession in just two months.

When they learned that Su Hao had passed the examinations for every Second Profession within two months and had reached Level 1 in all of them, the Second Profession masters and Su Lie were utterly shocked.

At the same time, those Second Profession masters worked even harder to pass their experience on to Su Hao, so that when Su Hao became famous, they could rise to fame alongside him.
