Soul-to-Gang Transformation

[During the earlier Soul Power Fusion, Su Chen discovered that so-called Soul Power Fusion was merely the compression and mutual complementing of two kinds of Soul Power, allowing the Soul Power to assume a more stable state.]

[With that thought, Su Chen had already found a way to resolve the turmoil of Soul Power within his body, and perhaps even go a step further.]

[He acted as soon as he thought of it.]

[Without the slightest hesitation.]

[Su Chen directly controlled his Mental Power and pressed it toward the chaotic streams of Soul Power within his body.]

[Since Soul Power Fusion could make power stronger and more stable.]

[Then what he needed to do was thoroughly compress the scattered Natural Soul Power within his body together.]

[With a thought from Su Chen, the Natural Soul Power that had been wildly rampaging throughout his body was forcibly drawn toward his dantian.]

[This process was extremely dangerous.]

[That Natural Soul Power had already been out of control.]

[Now that it was being forcibly pulled, it immediately became even more violent.]

[His meridians trembled.]

[His internal organs shook.]

[Every strand of Soul Power that was pressed down felt as though thousands of tiny, sharp nails were scraping through Su Chen's blood vessels.]

[In Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong's eyes, the veins on Su Chen's forehead had bulged, and blood was seeping from the corners of his mouth.]

[Yet Su Chen's Mental Power remained completely unaffected.]

[More and more Natural Soul Power was forcibly compressed into his dantian.]

[Before long, the Soul Power in Su Chen's dantian changed from its original scattered disorder into a pale golden vortex that spun without end.]

[But this was not enough.]

[Su Chen did not stop.]

[His Mental Power continued to press down.]

[The vortex spun faster and faster.]

[The Soul Power within it was compressed tighter and tighter.]

[From diffuse, it became solid.]

[From solid, it became viscous.]

[Then the Soul Power vortex in his dantian began to shrink continuously.]

[The once-massive amount of Soul Power was pressed down bit by bit.]

[It was forcibly compressed from a Soul Power vortex into a mass of liquid pale golden Soul Power.]

[Feeling the changes in his Soul Power, Su Chen could not help but feel delighted.]

[He was on the right track.]

[Immediately afterward, Su Chen fiercely mobilized all his Mental Power and pressed it toward the very center of that mass of liquid Soul Power.]

[Boom!]

[In an instant, Su Chen's body jolted violently.]

[Blood once again spilled from his mouth and nose.]

[His already injured internal organs were struck by the backlash, sending tearing pain through him once more.]

[But at that very moment.]

[At the center of that liquid Soul Power, an incomparably tiny glimmer of gold finally appeared.]

[That golden glimmer was only the size of a grain of rice.]

[Yet it was condensed to the extreme.]

[The instant it appeared, it emitted an aura far heavier and more domineering than ordinary Soul Power.]

[Gang Qi Seed.]

[It had formed.]

[The next moment, Su Chen did not hesitate. He immediately guided the newly formed Gang Qi Seed to circulate slowly along the Heavenly Cycle he had already opened within his body.]

[Wherever it passed, the formerly violent and chaotic Natural Soul Power seemed to have suddenly found its anchor and rapidly calmed down.]

[The moment it came into contact with the Gang Qi Seed, it was directly crushed, absorbed, and assimilated.]

[The injuries within Su Chen's body, which had nearly collapsed, finally began to truly stabilize.]

[As it continuously absorbed Soul Power.]

[Compressed it.]

[Then absorbed more.]

[And compressed again.]

[Two days passed in a flash.]

[During those two days.]

[Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong had barely slept at all.]

[The two stood guard at Su Chen's side, one on each side.]

[Bibi Dong's eyes were already bloodshot.]

[Her originally radiant and stunning face was also filled with unconcealed exhaustion.]

[Several times, she wanted to reach out and touch Su Chen.]

[But every time her hand reached halfway, she stopped.]

[She was afraid.]

[Afraid that a single careless move would disturb Su Chen.]

[Just then, several shadows appeared in the sky.]

[The next moment, Gui Mei appeared before them.]

[Behind him followed a middle-aged man and a young girl.]

[The middle-aged man was tall and slender, with gentle features. The girl wore a pale green long dress and had delicate, pretty features.]

Outside the Sky Screen.

At Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Ye Lingling looked at the man and woman who had appeared within the Sky Screen. Her face, which had remained calm all this time, finally showed ripples of emotion.

That was because she recognized both of them.

That middle-aged man was the previous Sect Master of the Undying Sect, her grandfather, Ye Zhanming.

And that girl was her mother, Ye Shu.

Her grandfather had died before she awakened her Martial Soul.

She had never imagined that she would see him again under such circumstances.

For a moment, Ye Lingling's hand clenched slightly.

Meanwhile, the scene within the Sky Screen continued.

[Seeing Gui Mei return, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong hurriedly rose to their feet.]

["Elder Gui..."]

[Gui Mei raised a hand to stop them, then turned to look at the middle-aged man beside him.]

["Sect Master Ye, please take a look at Su Chen's condition first."]

[Hearing this, Ye Zhanming did not decline. He quickly walked over to Su Chen and slowly crouched down.]

[The next moment, a gentle stream of Soul Power flowed from his palm and slowly entered Su Chen's body.]

[A moment later.]

[Ye Zhanming could not help but frown slightly.]

["Strange..."]

[At those words, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong's hearts both sank sharply.]

[Gui Mei immediately asked as well.]

["What is it?"]

[Ye Zhanming did not answer at once. Instead, he continued sensing the flow of Soul Power within Su Chen's body.]

[Several breaths later, he finally spoke slowly.]

["I have never seen this young man's method of circulating Soul Power before."]

[Seeing this, Gui Mei no longer concealed anything. He briefly explained how Su Chen had shattered his Martial Soul and then created an entirely new cultivation system.]

[After hearing this, both Ye Zhanming and Ye Shu's expressions changed drastically.]

["Shattered Martial Soul?"]

[Ye Shu could not help but cry out softly.]

[She looked at Su Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, her eyes filled with shock and curiosity.]

[But Ye Zhanming's heart gave a thump.]

[A Shattered Martial Soul, a brand-new cultivation system—no matter how he looked at it, this was a secret of Spirit Hall. Yet Gui Mei had told them about it.]

[Thinking of this, Ye Zhanming could not help but reveal a bitter smile and thought to himself.]

[Sigh! It seems we have no choice but to join Spirit Hall now!]

[But now was clearly not the time to think about that.]

[Ye Zhanming immediately composed himself and focused all his attention on Su Chen's body again.]

[This time, he examined him in greater detail.]

[The more he examined, the greater the astonishment in his eyes became.]

[By the end, even his voice had changed slightly.]

["Unbelievable..."]

["Truly unbelievable."]

[Gui Mei spoke in a deep voice.]

["What exactly is the situation?"]

[Ye Zhanming slowly withdrew his hand and turned to look at the others.]

["He is not in any danger of dying."]

[As soon as he said this.]

[Gui Mei, Bibi Dong, and Liu Erlong all visibly breathed sighs of relief.]

[But before they could fully set their minds at ease.]

[Ye Zhanming continued.]

["Not only is he in no danger of dying."]

["The Soul Power within his body is astonishingly abundant."]

["In terms of Soul Power intensity alone, it has already surpassed that of an ordinary Soul Emperor and is approaching the level of a Soul Sage."]
