Are You Willing to Join Spirit Hall?

Sweat had soaked through his back. That had been truly hair-raising; he felt as if he'd just taken a stroll past the gates of hell.

The six black stones on the ground had crumbled to powder, and Su Yuntao looked heartbroken.

He took out a notebook and said irritably, "Kid, what kind of Martial Soul is that?"

Jiang Chen fell silent for a moment, then answered honestly. "My Martial Soul is called Zombie."

Chapter 7: Are You Willing to Join Spirit Hall?

Su Yuntao, who had still been feeling rather frustrated, suddenly brightened. This really was a brand-new Martial Soul, one that had never appeared before.

He hesitated, then asked, "Can you control it safely now?"

Jiang Chen nodded. "I can."

After he'd withdrawn the Martial Soul into his body, he'd received some information in his mind. He could now control his Martial Soul at will.

He could even control the Corpse Poison that had always been beyond his control with such precision that it was almost imperceptible. It was unlikely to leak out the way it had before.

"Then release your Martial Soul again and let me have a look," Su Yuntao said excitedly.

By now, he'd forgotten the pain of his damaged tools and was brimming with excitement.

This was a brand-new Martial Soul, one he'd awakened with his own hands. Whether or not he could recruit Jiang Chen into Spirit Hall, he'd still receive a generous reward.

As long as he reported Jiang Chen's Zombie Martial Soul, the higher-ups in Spirit Hall would surely remember his contribution. They might even record the discoverer's name in the archives, where it would be passed down for all time.

Jiang Chen nodded. With a thought, he released his Martial Soul with ease. This time, no thick black fog appeared, and the true form of the Zombie Martial Soul was finally revealed to everyone.

The zombie wore ancient clothing and had a very large frame. It had no visible muscles, yet still looked powerfully built.

Its black fingernails were as sharp as knife points. A dark, terrifying aura swirled around it, and its face was gaunt, with two sharp fangs protruding from its mouth. It looked horrifying and sent a chill down the spine.

Su Yuntao, Tang San, Tang Hao, and Old Jack stared at it with wide eyes, their faces full of wonder.

It was actually a humanoid Martial Soul. They'd never even heard of such a thing.

Su Yuntao and Tang Hao did know of a type of Martial Soul called a Body Martial Soul, but those used a part or an organ of the body as the Martial Soul.

The Zombie Martial Soul before them, however, was a complete human form. Could it be some enhanced version of a Body Martial Soul?

Legend had it that Body Martial Souls were incredibly powerful. Just how powerful would Jiang Chen's Martial Soul be?

"Martial Soul Possession!" Jiang Chen cried. The hulking zombie behind him immediately turned into a streak of black light and merged into his body. His body quickly began to change.

The transformation was exactly like the one he'd undergone while cultivating before. Two fangs pushed out, his pupils turned completely black, and his fingernails grew razor-sharp.

Jiang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he'd turned into a skin-and-bones creature like his Zombie Martial Soul, he'd have wanted to die.

"What abilities does your Martial Soul have?" Su Yuntao had already taken out his little notebook, ready to write them down.

Jiang Chen clenched his fists and said excitedly, "After Martial Soul Possession, my strength, speed, and defense have all increased tremendously. And my Soul Power carries a potent poison."

His Soul Power had already possessed a domineering toxicity, but after Martial Soul Possession, the poison had become even more terrifying.

He probably only needed to release a wisp of poison to kill a full-grown water buffalo on the spot.

Su Yuntao scribbled down the details. "Excellent. This is a powerful, completely new Martial Soul. Next, I'll help you test your Innate Soul Power."
