Torchic Martial Soul and Body Martial Soul

In the Pokemon World, a Shiny Torchic is only different from a regular Torchic in color; there is nothing else special about it.

However, after arriving in the Douluo World and becoming a Martial Soul, the Shiny Torchic is rendered in gold by a golden light, which gives it excellent physical capabilities, just like those golden Soul Beasts.

Because of this, the physical attributes of the Shiny Torchic Martial Soul are far more powerful than a Torchic in the Pokemon World, with its base stats doubled, and the same holds true for its future evolutionary forms.

Looking back at Ye Chen's gaze, the golden light surrounding the Shiny Torchic suddenly dissipated, and it returned to its original Torchic appearance. It excitedly flapped its short wings and let out a "Torchic-Torchic" cry, appearing exceptionally cute.

"Yo, this little thing looks quite unique."

As he spoke, Ye Chen reached out and stroked the Torchic's little head.

The Torchic rubbed its short yellow beak against Ye Chen's finger in an affectionate gesture.

Watching the interaction between the boy and the chick, Su Yuntao was slightly stunned for a moment before he reacted, pondering aloud, "This chicken Martial Soul of yours, is it actually a mutated Martial Soul?"

Before Ye Chen could speak, Tang San, who was in the line of children, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master Su, what is a mutated Martial Soul?"

"I don't know much about mutated Martial Souls myself. I only know that poultry belongs to the beast-type Martial Soul category, usually manifesting as an energy form that possesses the host. But this chicken Martial Soul is more like a living chicken; it has completely detached from the host's body, so it is clearly a mutation."

At this point, Su Yuntao looked at the Torchic in Ye Chen's hands and shook his head with regret. "What a pity. This chicken Martial Soul mutated into a chick; it has no attack power, no defense, and no support capabilities. It can be considered a standard trash Martial Soul. It would have been better if it had mutated into an egg; at least then it would be edible."

The Torchic seemed to understand him, as it stared at Su Yuntao with sharp eyes and let out a "Torchic-Torchic!" cry.

Compared to before, this cry was clearly filled with a bit more resentment.

Ye Chen stroked the Torchic's little head, and after soothing it for a moment, he looked at Su Yuntao and said, "Master Su, whether it is a trash Martial Soul or not, we will only know in the future. Please help me test my Soul Power. If I have Soul Power, even the trashiest Martial Soul can be cultivated into a Soul Master, right?"

"Fine, you are the last one to awaken anyway, so I have time to spare. Come, place your right hand on the crystal ball."

With that instruction, Su Yuntao handed the blue crystal ball to Ye Chen.

After withdrawing the Torchic Martial Soul into his body, Ye Chen reached out and touched the crystal ball.

Suddenly, a dazzling blue light was released from the crystal ball.

"Innate Full Soul Power? Child, you are actually also Innate Full Soul Power!" Su Yuntao couldn't help but exclaim.

"What is going on with Holy Soul Village this year? How can two children with Innate Full Soul Power appear at the same time? And both have trash Martial Souls?"

Hearing Su Yuntao's words, the heart Ye Chen had been holding in his chest finally relaxed.

In fact, besides the Torchic Martial Soul, he had also awakened a second Martial Soul.

Because the second Martial Soul was a Body Martial Soul that used his entire body as the vessel, there was no external manifestation, so Su Yuntao, Tang San, and the others were unaware of it.

Ye Chen had initially worried that his Torchic Martial Soul and his Body Martial Soul might conflict like Tang San's Twin Martial Souls, resulting in him having no Innate Soul Power.

Now that he confirmed he had Innate Full Soul Power, his worry vanished completely, replaced by excitement.

This was because out of this level ten Innate Full Soul Power, five levels came from the Torchic Martial Soul, and the other five levels came from the Body Martial Soul.

The fact that the Innate Soul Power of the two Martial Souls added up within his body indicated that the Martial Souls were complementary and had an extremely high compatibility.

Once he cultivated the Torchic Martial Soul to the nine-ring Titled Douluo realm and added nine hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings to his Body Martial Soul, he would definitely have the potential to become a god in the future.

Furthermore, the Torchic was an externalized Martial Soul, while the Body Martial Soul was his own physical form.

This allowed the Torchic Martial Soul and the Body Martial Soul to be used simultaneously in battle.

As for Su Yuntao calling the Torchic a trash Martial Soul, Ye Chen could not agree.

Currently, the Torchic Martial Soul did indeed look like a chick without combat power.

But as his Soul Power level increased, the Torchic Martial Soul would not only be able to comprehend specific skills on its own, just like a Torchic in the Pokemon World.

Once his Soul Power reached a certain level, it could evolve into the more powerful Torchic form, and it could even gain experience through combat to feed back into the Soul Master, thereby accelerating the Soul Master's rate of Soul Power growth.

How could an externalized Martial Soul that could learn autonomously, face enemies on its own, and feed back into the Soul Master be a trash Martial Soul?

If there was any downside to an externalized Martial Soul, it was that if the Martial Soul was injured, the host would also be injured.

But with the Body Martial Soul, the flaw of the externalized Martial Soul causing backlash to the host was resolved.

Because the Body Martial Soul could grant the host superior physical strength, this physical strength could effectively absorb damage, thereby mitigating the backlash from injuries.

The Martial Soul awakening ceremony ended, and the wooden door opened.

Seeing Su Yuntao walking out of the house with the children, Old Jack hurried up with a nervous expression and asked anxiously, "Master Su, how was it? Are there any children in our Holy Soul Village this year who have the potential to become Soul Masters?"

"Yes, Old Jack. Your village has two children with Innate Full Soul Power this year. Although they both possess trash Martial Souls, as long as they obtain their first Soul Ring, they can advance to become Soul Masters."

As he spoke, Su Yuntao looked at Ye Chen and asked curiously, "This child shouldn't be a local of your Holy Soul Village, right? I have been responsible for the Martial Soul awakening in your village for seven years now. This is the first time I've encountered a child who awakened poultry as a Martial Soul."

"Oh? Poultry?" Old Jack was somewhat surprised. "Little Chen, was the Martial Soul of either of your parents poultry?"

Ye Chen nodded. "Yes, Grandpa Jack. My father's Martial Soul was a chicken, and my mother's was a kitchen knife. I inherited my father's chicken Martial Soul and awakened with Innate Full Soul Power."

"So you are the one with Innate Full Soul Power that Master Su mentioned. That's great!" Old Jack then remembered something and turned to ask Su Yuntao, "Then Master Su, who is the other child with Innate Full Soul Power?"

"Grandpa Jack, it's me," Tang San said proactively. "My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I have Innate Full Soul Power."

"Good, that's good! Little San, I didn't expect you to have Innate Full Soul Power. Sigh, what a pity. That alcoholic, useless father of yours didn't pass down a good Martial Soul to you."

Putting aside the regret in his heart, Old Jack smiled contentedly. "Regardless, Little San, and Little Chen, you are both the pride of Holy Soul Village. Our village is finally going to have Soul Masters again. Hahaha, hahahaha."

Listening to Old Jack's aged and excited laughter, Su Yuntao shook his head with regret before leaving Holy Soul Village.

Watching Su Yuntao walk away, Tang San realized he still had many questions about Soul Masters that he didn't understand.

He glanced at Ye Chen, remembering that this person knew that only those born with Soul Power could cultivate into Soul Masters, which suggested that he was quite knowledgeable about them.

And since this person was an orphan picked up by Old Jack a few days ago, could he be the orphaned child of some Soul Master?

Thinking of this, Tang San suddenly asked, "Ye Chen, you seem to be very knowledgeable about Soul Master lore?"
