Su Mo's Martial Soul

Wu Zhangkong was simply too fast. After changing positions several times, he slipped out of Su Mo's sight.

After losing track of Wu Zhangkong, Su Mo's body paused for an instant at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye because of that brief opening.

If it had been anyone else, Su Mo's tiny pause would have gone unnoticed.

But through Wu Zhangkong's Purple Demon Eye, Su Mo's subtle hesitation was magnified more than a hundredfold.

Wu Zhangkong seized the opportunity, condensing an Ice Blade in his hand with his ice-attribute Soul Power and slashing it toward Su Mo's head.

What Wu Zhangkong had not expected was that Su Mo seemed to have anticipated his move long ago.

Taking advantage of his height, Su Mo bent down to dodge Wu Zhangkong's slash while spinning his body. His right hand formed into a blade, stabbing toward Wu Zhangkong's chest like lightning.

By the time Wu Zhangkong realized he had fallen for it, it was already too late.

"Teacher Wu, you lost!"

Having dodged Wu Zhangkong's slash, Su Mo calmly spoke with the fingers of his right hand stopped an inch from Wu Zhangkong's chest.

If he advanced even half an inch more, Su Mo could pierce straight through Wu Zhangkong's heart.

"Teacher Wu, you..."

Seeing blood seep from Wu Zhangkong's chest, Tang Wulin, who had just recovered from his shock, called out in concern.

Honestly, when Su Mo defeated Wu Zhangkong, Tang Wulin and the others simply could not believe it.

They had already experienced Wu Zhangkong's strength firsthand.

Yet Wu Zhangkong ignored them and stared seriously at Su Mo. "You deliberately lured me in just now?"

Su Mo nodded without denying it. "You were too fast. If I wanted to catch an opening, I could only wait for you to attack first, then strike afterward."

Seeing Su Mo admit it, Wu Zhangkong asked curiously, "What would you have done if I hadn't noticed your opening?"

Su Mo looked at him with disdain. "Are you kidding? Someone else might not have noticed my opening."

"But if even you, with your Purple Demon Eye activated, couldn't spot it, then I would have to question whether the Tang Sect's secret arts are really as miraculous as the rumors say."

After hearing that Su Mo had even accounted for his use of the Purple Demon Eye, Wu Zhangkong was completely convinced. "You really are an undeniable genius. No, I should call you a monster."

This praise came from the bottom of Wu Zhangkong's heart, without the slightest trace of sarcasm.

Wu Zhangkong had never expected that little Eastsea Academy could recruit a monster like Su Mo, whose control over his own Soul Power had reached a terrifying level and whose combat instincts were equally outrageous.

Not to mention Su Mo's Soul Power had already reached level twenty-nine at the age of nine.

Wu Zhangkong could say without hesitation that even among the gathering of geniuses at Shrek Academy, a monster like Su Mo would be the most dazzling one.

Thinking that he could bring such a monstrous genius back to Shrek Academy, or even the Tang Sect, Wu Zhangkong felt a surge of excitement despite his usually cold personality.

"Student Su Mo..."

Wu Zhangkong had just wanted to invite Su Mo to join the Tang Sect when Su Mo waved his hand. "I have no plans to join any organization for now!"

Wu Zhangkong was not angered by Su Mo's refusal.

After all, how could a genius be called a genius without a little temper?

Wu Zhangkong believed that once Su Mo witnessed the Tang Sect's foundations, he would eventually choose to join it.

Of course, the Spirit Pagoda absolutely could not be allowed to learn about Su Mo.

The Spirit Pagoda had developed rapidly over the years. Especially with the Sun Moon Federation's support, it had begun to stand toe-to-toe with Shrek.

If the Spirit Pagoda truly came to poach him, the Tang Sect, which ranked last among the three major powers, might not be able to compete with them.

Fortunately, he was the first to discover Su Mo. As long as he acted quickly enough, he could recruit Su Mo and Gu Yue into the Tang Sect before the Spirit Pagoda reacted.

"Su Mo, can you let me see your Martial Soul?"

Seeing Su Mo preparing to sneak away, Wu Zhangkong hurriedly spoke to keep him there.

"Sure!" Su Mo nodded in agreement.

As long as Wu Zhangkong did not interfere with him roaming around freely, Su Mo was easy enough to deal with.

Su Mo then displayed his Three Tomoe Sharingan before everyone. Three black tomoe formed a triangular arrangement around his pupils.

His scarlet irises added an eerie beauty to those eyes.

Paired with Su Mo's youthful yet strikingly handsome face, he was absolutely irresistible to people of all ages.

"What a handsome Martial Soul!"

Someone in the crowd muttered softly.

"My Martial Soul is called the Sharingan. By hunting Soul Beasts with corresponding attributes, I can add those attributes and Soul Skills to my Soul Power."

Of course, that statement was only half true.

Su Mo's Martial Soul was not actually the Sharingan, but Chakra.

His current Sharingan was merely an imitation created using the results of his research with Orochimaru, through the nature transformation of Yin Attribute Chakra.

Back when he worked under Orochimaru, Su Mo had used his godlike perspective and combined it with Tobirama's research to offer Orochimaru many theories about the Sharingan.

Orochimaru truly deserved his reputation as the Ninja World's greatest scientist. With Su Mo's assistance, he had lived up to expectations and deciphered the Sharingan's secrets.

The special Chakra secreted by an Uchiha's brain when awakening the Sharingan was actually Chakra produced when an Uchiha underwent the nature transformation of Yin Attribute Chakra unconsciously after receiving stimulation.

Thus, the Sharingan was actually the product of Yin Attribute Chakra nature transformation combining with the eyes.

As long as one could master Yin Attribute Chakra nature transformation and make it perfectly compatible with one's eyes, anyone could awaken the Sharingan.

However, mastering Yin Attribute Chakra nature transformation through acquired learning was nearly impossible. In the Ninja World, those capable of using Yin-Yang Attribute Chakra nature transformation were cheats among cheats.

Fortunately, Su Mo had been an Uchiha in his previous life, so using Yin Attribute Chakra nature transformation had already become instinctive to him.

As for where Su Mo's Yin Attribute Chakra came from?

That was because spiritual power in Douluo Continent happened to correspond to Yin Attribute Chakra in the Chakra system.

And everyone in Douluo Continent possessed spiritual power, differing only in strength.

Therefore, after Su Mo took human form, the rules of the world forcibly granted his first Soul Ring the Yin Attribute of Chakra.

That was also why Su Mo had used Izanagi without hesitation when Tang Hao plotted against him.

If the Sharingan went blind, then it went blind.

At worst, he could replace it with an ordinary eye, then use Yin Attribute Chakra nature transformation to recreate a Sharingan.

To Su Mo, the Sharingan had long become a consumable that could be mass-produced.

Of course, the Sharingan Su Mo recreated could at most possess three tomoe.

As for the principle behind evolving Three Tomoe Sharingan into Mangekyou, it was still being explored.
