Martial Soul Setting

Huang Tian opened the System Mall, located the Martial Soul Module, and searched for Blue Silver Grass. The interface instantly flooded with thousands of similar martial souls.

After filtering out everything below the top-tier versions, there were still over a hundred options remaining in the super quality category.

The higher the rank of a martial soul, the more comprehensive its abilities, attributes, and traits. For instance, the original Blue Silver Grass possessed seven or eight attributes, including life, devouring, plant, spirit, control, and toughness.

Many versions sold by the system also included additional abilities not found in the original Blue Silver Emperor, such as parasitism, hallucination, toxins, and other plant-based skills.

Any martial soul with one or more of these traits reaching the super level could be classified as a super martial soul.

Huang Tian had a clear goal and quickly selected a super Blue Silver Emperor priced at 1.5 million.

Its two main attributes, life and devouring, were at their strongest, reaching the super level—nearly god-tier—with the life attribute further upgraded to the ultimate level.

However, the secondary attributes such as plant, spirit, control, and toughness, which were less critical, remained at the top-tier level.

Maxing out all of these would cost another 1.5 million, which would be a waste and would squeeze the power of his second martial soul.

Martial souls could evolve; once his wallet was fuller in the future, he could find ways to strengthen them further.

After browsing through the other super Blue Silver Emperor versions for over ten minutes, he confirmed there was no better choice.

Huang Tian placed the order without hesitation.

Soon, a strange, warm current surged through his body. It felt like soaking in warm water, and even his bones felt a tingling itch, making him want to moan aloud.

The warmth lasted for five or six minutes before gradually fading away.

Huang Tian jumped off the kang, stretched his waist, kicked his legs, and poked the muscles on his arms, curious to test the results.

Although he still couldn't call upon the power of his martial soul, he could clearly feel a qualitative change in his physique.

His previous exhaustion had been swept away, and his entire body felt as if it were brimming with endless strength; even his skin had become a shade fairer.

Feeling his vibrant body, Huang Tian couldn't help but feel smug.

The original Blue Silver Emperor was only top-tier overall, meaning his lineage was now higher than Tang San, who was half-human and half-soul beast; it was even possible that he had surpassed Ah Yin.

Ah Yin had only become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast through her own cultivation, leaving her power floating and impure. Unlike her, his power was added by the system, making it solid and perfectly pure.

The two were simply incomparable.

With the Blue Silver Emperor settled, Huang Tian quickly turned his attention to his innate martial soul.

He performed the same operation, setting several filter conditions: god-tier quality, innate physical body and soul, ultimate destruction and ultimate spirit attributes, with a price range between 5 million and 8.52 million.

This time, the number of results meeting the basic criteria was even higher than for the Blue Silver Grass, totaling over five hundred options.

To his surprise, many of them were special constitutions from other novels or films.

For example, a super-super-super-super-low-end version of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

Huang Tian was not swayed by the names; instead, he filtered out everything below 7 million and carefully examined the abilities, attributes, and traits of each remaining option.

After buying the super Blue Silver Emperor, his balance was 8,502,173 points. He planned to keep between 100,000 and 500,000 for emergencies and dump the rest into this.

Soon, Huang Tian became interested in one particular option.

It possessed ten god-tier attributes: destruction, ruin, speed, strength, and burst for the innate body; and illusion, creation, manipulation, detection, and space for the innate spirit.

Each attribute possessed multiple god-tier abilities and traits.

Huang Tian knew that destruction and ruin combined to form annihilation, the core ability of the Golden Dragon King, while creation and life combined to form genesis, the core ability of the Silver Dragon King.

Combined with the Blue Silver Emperor, it was almost identical to a low-end version of the peak Dragon God.

Perhaps the original Dragon God hadn't even been this luxurious at the start, with many things only discovered and cultivated later on.

According to the Douluo setting, the source of all martial souls was the blood of the Dragon God, so the ultimate answer should also be the Dragon God.

However, its price was equally impressive: exactly 8.5 million.

Huang Tian patiently finished reviewing the other qualified versions; each had its own features and specialties, but none were as compatible as this one.

After a moment of thought, he gritted his teeth and clicked confirm. Good steel must be used on the blade.

Twenty thousand achievement points were actually enough to handle most ordinary crises, and once Nuoding Academy opened and he met Xiao Wu, he would have a new source of income.

This time, it didn't feel nearly as comfortable as the last. The moment he clicked confirm, his entire body felt as if it were being scorched by flames, and intense pain assaulted every cell from the inside out.

His consciousness went blank, and he didn't know how much time had passed before he suddenly woke up, discovering his clothes were soaked through with sweat.

Huang Tian crawled up from the floor, leaving a human-shaped watermark on the ground, his sleeves dripping.

Before he could complain, he was enveloped by a wave of immense surprise.

As expected of a god-tier martial soul, his body—which hadn't even awakened its power yet—had doubled in size, his muscles were firmer, his bones tougher, his movements more agile, and his reactions sharper.

If he fought himself from half an hour ago, he doubted the other version could even touch his hem.

He took out a washbasin and filled it with cold water. The temperature, which would usually feel freezing, felt perfectly comfortable as he soaked in it.

Just as he finished washing up and was about to sleep, he suddenly saw a mosquito buzzing past his eyes.

Huang Tian felt his keen eyesight and had a sudden whim. He flicked two fingers out quickly; the mosquito sensed something was wrong and tried to drift away, but it was firmly pinched between his fingers.

He then proceeded to perform precision strikes on the other three mosquitoes in the room, neutralizing each one with a single move.

It was a small matter, but it left Huang Tian exceptionally excited, as if he had won a great battle—even more thrilled than he was about his surge in strength.

In my past life, I was plagued by mosquitoes; sometimes, even when holding a swatter and hearing one buzzing right nearby, I couldn't track it down for the life of me.

The night passed without incident, and at the first light of dawn the next day, Huang Tian woke up earlier than usual.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a graceful figure in a blue dress sitting at the head of the kang, and his brain jolted in an instant of pure terror.

With his greatly enhanced eyesight, even in the dim light, he could clearly see the doting, aunt-like smile hanging on her face.

It took him a few seconds to realize what was going on.

Huang Tian felt a surge of excitement, yet he shrank back into the corner of the wall, his tone respectful but laced with hidden trepidation:

"Hello, may I ask who you are..."

"My name is Gu Yue'er, and starting today, I am your master. Good child, why don't you call me Master and let me hear it?"

"Gu Yue'er?"

"Not Gu Yuena?"

"Could this woman have already separated and created Na'er?"

As he thought rapidly to himself, the trepidation on Huang Tian's face lessened slightly, only to be replaced by a new sense of doubt.

"Um... I haven't awakened my Martial Soul yet, and my parents' Martial Souls are both very ordinary."

"You little brat, I told you to call me that, so just do it. Where do all these nonsense words come from?"

"Teacher."

Little brat?

Fine, fine, fine.

You just wait for me. Once I grow up, if I don't beat you until you're kneeling on the ground calling me Daddy, I'll write my name backward.
