"Body Martial Soul? It seemed no weaker than the Heavenly Snow Woman!"
Xue Bingchen inwardly gloated and quipped to himself.
As a transmigrator, how could he possibly not know what kind of heaven-defying existence his second Martial Soul was?!
This was the legendary—Body Martial Soul!
In the era of the first part of Douluo Continent, Soul Master theory was still extremely underdeveloped. The so-called "Ten Core Competencies" Yu Xiaogang had stolen contained absolutely no records concerning Body Martial Souls.
Soul Masters of this era only knew of Weapon Martial Souls and Beast Martial Souls. They had no idea how terrifying the mysteries of the human body could be.
Only ten thousand years later, during the era of the second part of Douluo Continent, Peerless Tang Sect, would the terror of Body Martial Souls be thoroughly unearthed. It even gave rise to a superpower that shook the continent and was notoriously protective of its own—the Body Sect!
As the name implied, a Body Martial Soul used a part of a Soul Master's body, or even their entire body, as the Martial Soul.
Not only were such Martial Souls exceptionally rare, but they also possessed an enormous advantage that ordinary Martial Souls could never match—they could undergo a second awakening, or even a third awakening!
Once a Body Martial Soul awakened to the Silver level, or even the legendary Gold level, the strength, defense, and recovery power that body could unleash would reach an appallingly godlike level!
That was true bodily sainthood—shattering the void with a fist!
What a pity. This is the era of the first Douluo Continent, and the Body Sect won't be founded for another ten thousand years. Xue Bingchen sighed softly in his heart.
Without the development experience and secret techniques accumulated by the Body Sect's predecessors, exploring this Body Martial Soul to its fullest potential and completing a Gold-level second awakening would indeed require him to figure everything out himself. The difficulty was immense.
"However..."
A dazzling glint flashed through Xue Bingchen's alternating gold and crimson eyes, and a confident curve formed at the corner of his lips.
"I have Twin Martial Souls!"
What was the greatest advantage of Twin Martial Souls? It was not being able to use two Martial Souls in battle at once, but—being able to add soul rings of the ultimate age to the second Martial Soul!
How had Tang San become a god?
Hadn't he first cultivated his Blue Silver Grass—no, his Blue Silver Emperor—to the Title Douluo level, pushed his physique to its limit, and then added soul rings over fifty thousand years old, even hundred-thousand-year red soul rings, to his Clear Sky Hammer?!
And Xue Bingchen's starting point was ten thousand times more monstrous than Tang San's!
His first Martial Soul was the Ultimate Ice Heavenly Snow Woman, while his second Martial Soul was a Body Martial Soul capable of endlessly strengthening his body!
As long as he first focused on cultivating the Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul, with the uniquely favorable environment of the Far North and Snow Empress and Ice Empress nurturing him with all their strength, reaching the Title Douluo realm would be a sure thing.
Once he became a Title Douluo, with the enhancement of his Body Martial Soul, his physical body would definitely become so powerful that even ferocious beasts would have to look up at it!
At that point, he could add soul rings to his second Martial Soul—his "physical body"...
"Gasp—"
At the thought, even Xue Bingchen could not help drawing in a sharp breath.
Nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings, perhaps even nine ferocious-beast-level red soul rings, all added to his physical body!
What kind of terrifying humanoid divine weapon would his body become?!
Perhaps even punching a God King of the God Realm to death would not be a dream!
Seeing Ice Empress still sighing there, and Snow Empress's eyes filled with heartache, Xue Bingchen could no longer hold himself back.
He withdrew the glow of his second Martial Soul, spread his short little legs, and pattered over to the two peerless ferocious beasts.
First, he stretched out his soft, fair little hand and hugged Snow Empress's long, straight jade-like leg. Then he extended his other hand and took Ice Empress's slightly chilly little hand.
"Mom, Auntie Ice Empress, stop sighing!"
Xue Bingchen lifted his delicately carved little face. His ice-blue eyes shone with incomparably bright confidence as he spoke in a crisp yet firm voice:
"Even though I don't know why my second Martial Soul is my body, I can clearly feel that this second Martial Soul of mine isn't weak at all! In fact, it's very, very strong!"
Hearing Xue Bingchen's words, Ice Empress listlessly raised her head and pursed her little lips.
"Little Bingchen, stop trying to comfort us. How strong could a lump of flesh be? Could it possibly be stronger than my Wrath of the Ice Emperor?"
Snow Empress, meanwhile, gently crouched down and reached out to softly stroke Xue Bingchen's cheek.
"Chen'er, no matter what your second Martial Soul is, even if it truly is just a useless Martial Soul, Mom will not dislike you for it. You already have the Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul. That is enough for you to establish yourself on the continent."
"No, Mom, listen to me!"
Xue Bingchen shook his head. The expression on his little face became extraordinarily serious as he began using the meticulous logic only an adult could possess to throw a bombshell powerful enough to shatter the worldview of these two Rulers of the Far North!
"Mom, Auntie Ice Empress, think about it. I have Twin Martial Souls, right? When human Soul Masters cultivate, they can only add soul rings to one Martial Soul first, while the other Martial Soul can be left until later!"
Xue Bingchen's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his voice rose several notches with excitement.
"My first Martial Soul is the Heavenly Snow Woman, one of the most top-tier Martial Souls! I can focus on cultivating the Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul first and continuously raise my Soul Power Level. Once I cultivate to become a seven-ringed Soul Saint, or even a nine-ringed Title Douluo, how powerful will my body become after being nourished by Soul Power?"
The two Ice and Snow Empresses exchanged a glance. Though they had no idea what Xue Bingchen was getting at, they still nodded instinctively.
Indeed, as human Soul Masters increased their cultivation, their physical qualities continuously grew stronger.
If Xue Bingchen cultivated to the Title Douluo realm, then tempered further by the heavenly treasures of the Far North, his physical body would absolutely rival—or even far surpass—a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
"Exactly!"
Xue Bingchen suddenly clapped his little hands and said excitedly:
"Once I reach the Title Douluo realm, my body will already be powerful to the extreme! Then I can go back and add soul rings to my second Martial Soul, my 'physical body'! Think about it: with a physical body as powerful as a Title Douluo's, how many years could my second Martial Soul's first soul ring withstand?!"
"Boom—!!!"
Xue Bingchen's words were like divine lightning from the heavens, exploding directly in the minds of Ice Empress and Snow Empress!
The two Rulers of the Far North, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, seemed as though they had been frozen in place. Their bodies instantly stiffened.
Their two pairs of peerlessly beautiful eyes widened round, their pupils violently contracting.
An unprecedented shock and realization swept through their minds like a storm.
"That's right..."
For the first time, Snow Empress's ethereal voice trembled violently.
She abruptly rose to her feet and stared at Xue Bingchen in disbelief, as though she were looking at a monster.
Following Xue Bingchen's line of thought, she frantically simulated that terrifying scene in her mind.
If Chen'er cultivated to the Title Douluo realm, his physical body would be strong enough to withstand the energy impact of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
Then his second Martial Soul could begin with a hundred-thousand-year red soul ring from its very first soul ring!
First soul ring: one hundred thousand years!
Second soul ring: one hundred thousand years!
Ninth soul ring: still one hundred thousand years!
A full nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings, all added to a Martial Soul capable of endlessly strengthening the physical body!
What kind of terrifying qualitative transformation would such accumulated power produce?!
