Martial Soul Evolution

"Baby God?"

But when he heard the strange name "Baby God System," a trace of doubt and curiosity still rose in his heart.

As the system successfully bound itself to him, a flood of information about its functions surged into Ling Feng's mind.

A moment later, Ling Feng slowly raised his head, an astonished expression on his face as he spoke to the system in his mind.

"System, did you get something wrong? I'm already an adult, not a newborn baby. The timeline clearly doesn't add up, does it?"

According to the information he had received, the system was designed to assist him in becoming a god from the moment he was born.

By issuing various tasks at irregular intervals, it would guide him to complete them, obtain rewards, and ultimately achieve godhood.

Yet Ling Feng was already eighteen years old and had long missed the newborn stage specified by the system, leaving him thoroughly confused.

He even suspected that something had gone wrong with the system during his transmigration, causing the timeline to become scrambled.

Confirming timeline...

This system has confirmed that today is the host's first day arriving on Douluo Continent. The timeline is correct.

The system's cold, mechanical voice rang out in his mind once more.

Hearing this, Ling Feng's face darkened with frustration. Speechless, he could only helplessly shake his head and temporarily cast the matter aside.

What worried him more now was what kind of tasks the system would issue.

Would the messed-up timeline affect the tasks it released in the future?

Detected that the host has just been born and has arrived on Douluo Continent for the first time.

Task issued: Please learn to open your eyes within three days.

Reward: Martial Soul Evolution Potion (Beginner)

Ling Feng stared at the task that had appeared in his mind and fell into deep thought. His brows were tightly furrowed, and a hint of bewilderment and confusion showed in his eyes.

For an adult like him, opening and closing his eyes was the simplest physiological action. Yet it had now become a system task, leaving him unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Just as he was racking his brains, his body's instinct made him blink unconsciously.

Congratulations to the host for opening your eyes within three seconds and learning to blink. Task completed beyond requirements. Reward critical hit activating...

Reward: Martial Soul Evolution Potion (God-tier)

"Damn, that works too?"

When he heard the system announce that the task was complete, Ling Feng stood dumbfounded, his face filled with disbelief.

He never would have imagined that a mere unconscious blink would complete the task issued by the system—and that exceeding the task requirements would even trigger a reward critical hit.

The sudden surprise left him unable to react for a while.

So that was it.

It seemed that the system's criteria for task completion were not limited by the timeline.

As long as he met the task's requirements, no matter how he did it, he could obtain the corresponding reward.

This discovery immediately eased much of Ling Feng's concern.

Some tasks might be as difficult as climbing to heaven for a newborn baby, but for an adult like him, they would be effortless.

Afterward, Ling Feng noticed that the critical-hit reward he received for exceeding the task requirements was worlds apart from the ordinary reward.

This made him deeply realize that when completing system tasks in the future, he had to exceed their requirements whenever possible.

A phantom, mysterious blue screen suddenly appeared before Ling Feng. He slowly extended his right hand and gently tapped it.

The system inventory interface appeared before him. Ling Feng saw that one of its slots contained a bottle of potion radiating golden light.

Ling Feng's heart stirred. This must be the God-tier Martial Soul Evolution Potion rewarded by the system.

A trace of excitement and anticipation appeared in Ling Feng's eyes. He could not help tapping the bottle again, withdrawing it from the system inventory.

The moment the potion appeared in his hand, both his hands began to tremble slightly.

Now that he had this bottle of God-tier Martial Soul Evolution Potion, he firmly believed that his martial soul would undergo an earth-shaking transformation.

Ling Feng knew well that on Douluo Continent, the strength of one's martial soul directly determined a soul master's status and power.

Though his Bronze Mirror Martial Soul had its unique qualities, it had always been too weak and had limited his growth.

Filled with excitement, Ling Feng returned to his residence. He shut the doors and windows, ensuring the surrounding environment was safe and private.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the God-tier Martial Soul Evolution Potion in his hand.

In an instant, a rich and mysterious fragrance spread through the room. It contained powerful energy fluctuations that made Ling Feng's heartbeat accelerate.

Without hesitation, he drank the potion in one gulp. A scorching energy surged through his body like a raging river, rushing toward where his martial soul resided.

Ling Feng tightly shut his eyes and focused, feeling the changes within his body.

Infused with energy, his Bronze Mirror Martial Soul began to tremble violently, letting out wave after wave of hums.

The once plain and ancient mirror surface now flashed with dazzling golden light, while the green patterns on it seemed to come alive.

As the medicinal power continued to merge with it, cracks gradually appeared across the surface of the Bronze Mirror Martial Soul in his right hand.

Like a shattered spiderweb, they spread across the entire surface of the martial soul.

Just as expected!

The next moment, a thunderous bang rang out. The entire Bronze Mirror Martial Soul instantly shattered into fragments, scattering through the surrounding space like broken stars.

"Pfft!"

At the moment his martial soul shattered, Ling Feng's face turned pale as paper, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

For an ordinary soul master, the shattering of a martial soul was no different from a catastrophe that could destroy them completely.

Yet Ling Feng relied on his unyielding will to forcibly endure the agony that was enough to kill him.

Fine beads of sweat covered his forehead, his teeth clenched tight, and every inch of his muscles trembled faintly, revealing the immense torment he was enduring.

Fortunately, the Martial Soul Evolution Potion within his body continuously repaired the damage inside him.

At the same time, Ling Feng clearly sensed a strange itching sensation coming from the center of his right palm.

It was exactly the same as when his martial soul had awakened. He understood that an entirely new martial soul was about to be born.

Time passed slowly, and several hours went by.

During this time, Ling Feng remained seated cross-legged like an unyielding stone statue, utterly motionless.

The aura within his body gradually calmed from its initial chaos, and the pain inside him receded like the tide.

At first, that power had rampaged through his body as though it wanted to tear his meridians apart.

But Ling Feng gritted his teeth and persevered, relying on his iron will to slowly guide that power back into place.

The aura of the martial soul being reforged in his right hand became increasingly condensed, faintly emitting a mysterious yet powerful fluctuation.

Like invisible ripples, those fluctuations spread through the air, making the surrounding space seem to distort slightly.
