Shattered Martial Soul

"Bloodline..."

Yu Chen's eyes flickered slightly.

"That's right. Since Yu Xiaogang is my twin brother, his Bloodline Soul Power should be the closest to mine! If I could use him as an experiment..."

In that instant, a brand-new line of research rapidly took shape in Yu Chen's mind.

For a moment, Yu Chen felt the urge to drag Yu Xiaogang into the basement as well.

But the next instant, absolute rationality forcibly suppressed that thought.

Yu Xiaogang was still valued by Yu Yuanzhen.

If he acted now, he would almost certainly be exposed.

The price would far outweigh the benefits.

In the end, Yu Chen suppressed the thought in his heart and continued toward the wooden cabin.

Yet he buried that idea deep within his mind.

Seeing this, the world outside the Sky Screen erupted once more.

[Liu Erlong: Damn it! What does that beast want to do to Xiao Gang?!]

Inside Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong's eyes were bloodshot, her chest heaving violently.

At that moment, all she wanted was to rush into the Sky Screen World and tear Yu Chen apart with her own hands.

Meanwhile, within Pope's Palace in Spirit City, Bibi Dong's aura suddenly surged. A terrifying pressure erupted from her body.

In merely an instant, Hu Liena beside her had gone pale, finding even breathing difficult. Her eyes were filled with terror.

[Yu Xiaogang]: Erlong, there's no need to be so angry. A beast that disregards even blood ties doesn't deserve to live.

[Yu Xiaogang]: I'm actually quite fortunate that I don't have such a brother in this world.

"Damn! Yu Xiaogang is way too shameless!"

Inside Blazing Fire Academy, Huo Wu grew furious at the sight of Yu Xiaogang's messages on the Sky Screen.

But she had already used up her allotted barrage transmissions for this round.

She wanted to curse him, but she could not send anything out.

That stifled frustration only made her feel worse.

Seeing his sister stamping her feet in fury, Huo Wushuang hurriedly tried to comfort her.

"Xiao Wu, there's no need to get this angry over someone like him."

Hearing that, Huo Wu seemed to think of something. Her eyes immediately lit up as she stared straight at Huo Wushuang.

Huo Wushuang was stunned at first, then the corner of his mouth twitched.

A moment later.

[Huo Wushuang]: Shut up! You xx, what gives you the right to talk about Yu Chen? I can't even be bothered to mention all the disgusting things you've done!

[Huo Wushuang]: And in the Sky Screen, you were clearly the one who provoked him first. What, you can insult others, but they can't retaliate against you?

Inside Skywater Academy, Shui Yue'er also looked toward Xue Wu beside her.

How could Xue Wu fail to understand what she meant? She immediately sent two barrages.

[Xue Wu]: Huo Wushuang is right. What the hell are you? How dare you come out and talk?

[Xue Wu]: Look at that arrogant face of yours in the Sky Screen. Anyone who didn't know better would think you had successfully improved your Martial Soul. In the end, you're still that Piglet!

As Huo Wushuang and Xue Wu opened fire one after another, the barrage section once again descended into chaos.

For a time, it was filled with mockery and condemnation directed at Yu Xiaogang.

Over at Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang looked at the barrage after barrage, trembling with rage. His face alternated between green and white, and even his breathing grew heavier.

"Um... Xiao Gang, you should try to say less."

Flender frowned slightly. In the end, he still sighed helplessly and tried to persuade him.

As the Sky Screen revealed more and more, Flender suddenly realized that he seemed to understand this brother of many years less and less.

He spoke up now for no other reason than that he simply did not want Yu Xiaogang to keep talking and drag Liu Erlong into it as well.

After all, every time something happened to Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong would end up being cursed too. How could Flender bear to see that?

Yet those words sounded especially harsh in Yu Xiaogang's ears.

He said nothing on the surface, but inwardly, he sneered.

Heh, so you can't keep pretending anymore?

You talk about brotherhood, but when it matters, not only do you refuse to speak up for me, you even tell me to shut up!

I'm better off without a brother like you!

Of course, he only dared to think such thoughts in his heart.

After all, once the Sky Screen ended, he would still have to rely on Flender to leave this place as soon as possible and find Tang Hao.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang ultimately suppressed his anger and did not speak again.

Thus, the scene above the Sky Screen soon became one of Liu Erlong alone dominating the crowd.

Seeing this, even Bibi Dong felt somewhat embarrassed. She could not help admiring Liu Erlong a little, though it lasted only an instant.

Meanwhile, the Sky Screen continued playing.

[After leaving Yu Xiaogang, Yu Chen encountered no further trouble along the way and returned to the wooden cabin without incident.]

[He entered the basement, lit the candle lamp, and walked down the stone steps.]

[A moment later, Yu Chen reached the end.]

[There, Yu Kun sat collapsed on the ground, his hands and feet tightly bound by heavy chains.]

[By now, he had long lost his initial arrogance and domineering manner.]

[The instant he saw Yu Chen, his pupils contracted sharply. Instinctively, he tried to shrink backward, his body trembling uncontrollably, but the iron chains prevented him from moving even an inch.]

[Yu Chen slowly walked up to Yu Kun and gradually crouched before him, a faint smile even appearing at the corner of his mouth.]

["Don't be afraid."]

["Next comes the final experiment."]

["According to my theory, you will become the first person in this world whose Martial Soul has shattered yet can still continue cultivating."]

["At the same time, you will become the first person to step into an entirely new cultivation system."]

["A cultivation system with a far higher ceiling than that of Soul Masters."]

Seeing this, the entire Douluo Continent fell silent once again.

That was because Yu Chen's words were simply too shocking. They directly crushed the understanding the entire Soul Master world had held for countless years.

One could still cultivate after one's Martial Soul shattered?

One could even embark on a new path of cultivation?

How was that possible?

Within Pope's Palace, Hu Liena had only just recovered from the pressure Bibi Dong had released earlier. Seeing this scene now, she was stunned for a long while before finally turning to Bibi Dong.

"Teacher, is what Yu Chen said... true?"

"Impossible!"

Bibi Dong rejected it immediately, without the slightest hesitation.

She already despised the Yu Chen in the Sky Screen. How could she possibly believe his words?

"A Martial Soul has always been the foundation of a Soul Master's cultivation."

"Once a Martial Soul shatters, at best one loses all Soul Power and becomes completely useless; at worst, one dies on the spot."

"This is common knowledge recognized throughout the Soul Master world. It cannot be wrong."

"Yu Chen says this for no reason other than to toy with and torment Yu Kun."

Hu Liena did not argue. She merely raised her head again and silently watched Yu Chen on the Sky Screen.

For some reason, she felt that the calm youth standing beneath the candlelight might truly be able to accomplish what he had said.

Perhaps he truly had developed an entirely new cultivation system.

Elsewhere, within the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo Chen Xin was equally shaken and could not help turning toward Ning Fengzhi.

"That should be impossible, shouldn't it?"

"As far as I know, anyone whose Martial Soul shatters either dies or becomes crippled. I've never heard of anyone being able to continue cultivating."

"Perhaps it truly is possible."

Ning Fengzhi gazed at the Sky Screen and spoke slowly. His voice remained gentle, yet carried a seriousness never heard before.

"Uncle Sword, don't forget the title the Sky Screen gave Yu Chen: 'Ancestor of Immortal Dao.'"

"At first, I didn't understand what those four words meant."

"But now, I think I understand."

"That so-called Immortal Path is likely an entirely new cultivation system Yu Chen himself created."

"This..."

Hearing this, Gu Rong beside him opened his mouth wide, unable to conceal the shock in his eyes.

"Isn't that a little too outrageous?"

Yet Ning Fengzhi merely shook his head gently, his gaze never leaving Yu Chen on the Sky Screen.

"There's nothing impossible about it."

"Judging by the talent Yu Chen has displayed so far, perhaps before long, we will witness a miracle in the Soul Master world with our own eyes."

As he said this, the admiration in Ning Fengzhi's eyes had turned into a trace of respect.
