Special?
Yun Che naturally knew why his soul was special.
He was a transmigrator, one of the lucky few who had reincarnated with memories of his past life. He possessed his complete past-life memories, and his soul had even broken free of the shackles of the world's dimensions!
The fundamental reason he was special in this time and space lay in his soul.
Yet Qiangu Yunche was certain that he had undergone a complete reincarnation. He had merely been fortunate enough to retain his past-life memories; there was no such thing as possession.
In other words, his soul and body were absolutely one hundred percent compatible. Even if a deity came, they would never find anything abnormal in that regard.
If the issue was not the compatibility between his soul and body, then what was it?
Qiangu Yunche pondered for a moment before saying,
"Aunt Ming, I do sense something, but that feeling is far too vague... Could you first tell me what exactly that strange feeling of yours is?"
Silence fell once more. Just as Qiangu Yunche began to wonder whether the Cangming Thunder Dragon Emperor had fallen asleep again, it finally spoke.
"It is transcendence—a sense of transcendence. It is as though your soul itself has already broken free of the shackles of the Plane Laws, becoming a world unto itself, a realm within the mind, reaching a level I cannot possibly imagine or comprehend."
Qiangu Yunche listened quietly. Just as he was about to say something, the Cangming Thunder Dragon Emperor's voice rang out again.
"Besides that, there is another feeling that I simply cannot describe. Or rather, at the level of my spiritual consciousness, I can no longer probe deeper through the mist shrouding your soul.
I estimate that to unravel the mystery within your soul, one would need a powerhouse whose spiritual consciousness has reached at least the godly level."
"A powerhouse with spiritual consciousness above the godly level?"
Qiangu Yunche murmured the words, a strange expression flickering in his eyes.
"Yes. But Yun Che, you need not worry too much. My senses have not detected any threat or hidden danger. As long as you cultivate diligently and raise the level of your spiritual consciousness, you will surely learn the truth behind that mystery in the future."
As though afraid that Qiangu Yunche would worry, the Cangming Thunder Dragon Emperor gently reassured him again.
Qiangu Yunche gave a soft hum, then spent a long while thinking alone.
After confirming that he truly could not find the answer, Qiangu Yunche did not want to waste any more time and forcefully suppressed his thoughts.
He took out the essence of the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo and swallowed it all in two mouthfuls.
Soul Power quietly began circulating within him. A rich dark-green aura burst from his body, swiftly covering Qiangu Yunche from head to toe.
The Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear automatically emerged from his body and floated silently before him. Rings of dark-green ripples, like ocean waves, seemed to have appeared along its gold-and-silver shaft.
Even from over a hundred meters away, Qiangu Qing instantly sensed the ultimate sharpness emanating from the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear, as though it could sever laws and pierce the heavens.
In his perception, that sharpness was constantly intensifying. Even the Golden Dragon dwelling within the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear seemed to be undergoing some sort of mutation, releasing deep yet exhilarated dragon roars...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Qiangu Yunche slowly opened his eyes. Before him remained the familiar seven-colored radiance and dazzling array of plants. He stretched, his bones crackling sharply, as the last trace of dark green completely faded away.
After rising to his feet, Qiangu Yunche realized that he seemed to have grown taller again. Even the lines of his muscles appeared smoother, filled with strength without losing their softness.
Not far away, Qiangu Yunmei noticed that he had awakened and approached with a smile. She raised her head to look at Qiangu Yunche's handsome face, then reached out and gave it a pinch before saying,
"The little guy who could not even keep up with my pace has suddenly grown taller than me. Time really does fly..."
"No matter how tall I get, I'm still your little brother, aren't I?" Qiangu Yunche replied with a smile.
"At least you know your place." The curve of Qiangu Yunmei's lips rose further as she asked curiously, "By the way, Yun Che, what Immortal Herb did you take? Why did it take three days to absorb?"
"Other than the essence of the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, there was also Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew—an Immortal Herb that greatly benefits Spiritual Power. As for why it took so long to absorb..."
Qiangu Yunche smiled faintly. Light flashed in his hand, and the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear immediately appeared in his grasp.
"Hiss..."
The instant her gaze touched the spear blade, Qiangu Yunmei felt a sharp stab of pain in her Spiritual Power.
Though she had expected it, personally experiencing the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear's extreme sharpness still left her shocked.
Yet what shocked her even more was the color of the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear and the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul above it.
If the gold and silver on the former Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear had been more or less evenly matched, then gold had now become the spear's dominant color, while silver had been reduced entirely to an embellishment.
The Golden Dragon coiled around the shaft in particular looked as though it had truly come alive, creating an immensely stunning visual impact.
"Sis, as you can see, my Martial Soul has undergone a second evolution. More precisely, the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul dwelling within the spear has transformed. So now, I think it should be called the Evil-Breaking Dragon Emperor, and my Martial Soul should likewise be renamed the Evil-Breaking Dragon Emperor Spear."
Qiangu Yunmei and Qiangu Qing, who had rushed over after noticing the commotion, murmured the name to themselves and involuntarily swallowed.
At that very moment, two powerful auras suddenly erupted farther away. Unable to spare time studying Qiangu Yunche's twice-transformed Martial Soul, the three of them immediately hurried in that direction.
By the time they arrived, Qiangu Liting and Yang Shu had already risen to their feet.
Both wore somewhat emotional expressions. Yang Shu in particular stared blankly at the blood-red Soul Ring beneath her feet.
An Immortal Herb, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Trunk Bone had directly raised her Soul Power to rank ninety-three—one full rank higher than Qiangu Liting had reached after absorbing his Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
Qiangu Liting's emotions were just as difficult to calm.
Breaking through rank ninety-five meant that he had finally entered the ranks of the continent's supreme powerhouses.
A Super Douluo and a Title Douluo had never been beings on the same level. Now, he could easily face at least three of his former selves. That was the most direct difference in combat power.
After the two groups met up, both sides shared their gains. When Qiangu Yunche mentioned that his Martial Soul had evolved, Qiangu Liting and Yang Shu exchanged glances, both stunned.
One had to know that Qiangu Yunche's Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear had already been a super Martial Soul. Its ultimate offensive power made it fully capable of rivaling or even surpassing powerful Martial Souls such as the Bright Holy Dragon. Moreover, Qiangu Yunche possessed a formidable innate Martial Soul domain.
Now that the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear had evolved again into the Evil-Breaking Dragon Emperor Spear, its offensive power had likely reached a level that even absolute defense could not withstand. Calling it a super Martial Soul among super Martial Souls would not be an exaggeration.
Qiangu Liting even dared to assert that once Qiangu Yunche obtained his Sixth Soul Ring, his combat power would absolutely surpass that of a Soul Douluo.
After their exchange, everyone was extremely satisfied with the gains and improvements from this journey.
After making one final sweep of the natural treasures around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Qiangu Yunche glanced at the distinctly divided two-colored spring water. He then spread his Emerald Wings and followed his family toward the heavy poisonous clouds overhead...
