Chapter 13

Sweat had already soaked his back; the experience just now had been truly heart-stopping, making him feel as if he had walked right before the gates of hell.

The six black stones on the ground had already turned into powder, and Su Yuntao looked at them with a pained expression.

He took out a notebook and said irritably, "Kid, what is your martial soul?"

Jiang Chen fell silent for a moment, not intending to hide it. "My martial soul is called a Zombie!"

Do you want to join Spirit Hall?

Su Yuntao, who had been feeling somewhat frustrated, suddenly had his eyes light up. This was indeed a brand-new martial soul that had never appeared before.

He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Can you safely control it now?"

Jiang Chen nodded. "I can."

Ever since he withdrew his martial soul back into his body, he had already obtained some information in his mind; he could now control his martial soul at will.

He could even exert minute control over the corpse poison that had always been uncontrollable in the past, meaning the leaks that used to happen would almost certainly never occur again.

"Then release your martial soul again and let me see," Su Yuntao said excitedly.

At this moment, he had forgotten the sorrow of his damaged tools and was incredibly thrilled.

This was a brand-new martial soul, awakened by his own hands. Regardless of whether he could recruit Jiang Chen into Spirit Hall, he would receive a generous reward.

As long as he reported Jiang Chen's Zombie martial soul, the higher-ups in Spirit Hall would certainly not forget his contribution, and they might even write his name as the discoverer into the archives, to be passed down forever.

Jiang Chen nodded. With a thought, he released his martial soul with ease. This time, no thick black mist appeared, and the true face of the Zombie martial soul was finally revealed to everyone's sight.

The Zombie was dressed in ancient attire with a very large frame. It lacked muscle, yet it appeared extremely burly.

Its black fingernails were as sharp as knife tips, and a dark, terrifying aura swirled around its body. Its face was gaunt, and two sharp fangs protruded, looking horrific and chilling.

Su Yuntao, Tang San, Tang Hao, and Old Jack all stared with wide eyes, their faces full of astonishment.

This was actually a humanoid martial soul; they had never even heard of such a thing.

Su Yuntao and Tang Hao were aware of a type of martial soul called a Body Martial Soul, but those were based on specific parts or organs of the human body.

Yet, the Zombie martial soul before them was a complete human shape. Could this be an enhanced version of a Body Martial Soul?

Legend had it that Body Martial Souls were extremely powerful. Just how strong would Jiang Chen's martial soul be?

"Martial Soul Possession!" Jiang Chen shouted in a low voice. The burly Zombie standing behind him instantly turned into a streak of black light and merged into his body, causing his physique to change rapidly.

This transformation was exactly the same as when he practiced in the past: two fangs sprouted out, his pupils turned completely black, and his fingernails became incomparably sharp.

This made Jiang Chen breathe a secret sigh of relief. If he had turned into a bag of bones like the Zombie martial soul, he would have wanted to die.

"What are the abilities of your martial soul?" Su Yuntao had already taken out his little notebook, ready to record.

Jiang Chen clenched his fists and said excitedly, "After Martial Soul Possession, my strength, speed, and defense are all greatly enhanced, and my soul power also carries a violent toxicity."

His soul power had always possessed a domineering poison, but now, after the Martial Soul Possession, the toxicity had become even more terrifying.

He feared that if he released even a wisp of his toxin, he could instantly kill an adult water buffalo.

Su Yuntao scribbled it down. "Very good. This is a brand-new, powerful martial soul. Next, I will help you test your innate soul power."
