Power on Par with the Assault-Type Soul Sect

This was not unexpected.

The allure of a god-level martial soul was simply too great.

Especially in a place like Spirit Hall, a child possessing a god-level martial soul naturally represented immense future potential.

Bibi Dong raised her hand, and a crystal ball appeared in her palm.

"Come, test your soul power."

Lu Chen looked at the crystal ball; this was an object used to measure innate soul power.

Since Bibi Dong had brought it out herself, it was clearly of a higher grade than the standard crystal balls used for testing at the Awakening Temple.

Lu Chen stepped forward and, following her gesture, placed his hand upon the crystal ball.

The next moment, the crystal ball suddenly erupted with intense light.

That radiance filled the entire sphere almost instantly.

Watching this scene, the satisfaction in Bibi Dong's eyes became even more apparent.

"As expected, innate soul power level twenty."

Innate level twenty.

This was no longer a level that an ordinary genius could reach.

Hearing this result, Lu Chen could not help but feel a surge of pleasant surprise.

Although he had already guessed that a martial soul like Leugocyte could never be low-tier, confirming that his innate soul power was level twenty still left him feeling invigorated.

Did Leugocyte also grant me god-bestowed soul power?

Truly excellent.

Lu Chen knew very well what innate level twenty meant.

It meant that his starting point was far higher than the vast majority of soul masters.

While others were still starting their cultivation from zero, he already possessed the foundation to directly absorb soul rings and continue his advancement.

Of course, the soul power level was only the beginning.

The truly critical factor was the inherent ability of Leugocyte itself.

Bibi Dong put away the crystal ball, her gaze settling back on Lu Chen.

"Martial Soul Avatar."

She paused, then added, "Let me feel the strength of your martial soul."

Lu Chen nodded.

"Yes, Teacher."

He closed his eyes, attempting to follow his instincts to guide the fusion of his martial soul and his body.

The next moment, the phantom of Leugocyte behind Lu Chen suddenly drew closer, and dark purple and reddish-purple light surged into his body simultaneously.

Lu Chen felt no pain.

On the contrary, it was an incredibly seamless transformation.

His body felt as if it were being lifted by some force, his bones and muscles growing rapidly under the influence of the martial soul's power.

In just a few moments, his six-year-old child's frame grew taller without any pain, reaching a height of about two meters.

After the Martial Soul Avatar, Lu Chen's appearance was completely different.

His body was covered in special patterns and chitinous contours dominated by reddish-purple, making him look as if he were clad in a dragon-shaped suit of armor.

Golden dragon heads and horn-like structures emerged at his head and shoulders, while the phantom of massive, membrane-like wings extended from his back. A long tail hung behind him, the tip possessing a sharp, spike-like edge.

He still retained a humanoid form, but his entire being now carried intense draconic characteristics.

A sense of divinity and ferocity coexisted.

Majestic, dangerous, and filled with oppressive force.

Lu Chen looked down at his hands, feeling the surging power within his body, and could not help but be shaken.

This was the state of Leugocyte after the Martial Soul Avatar.

Even though it was only his first time using the avatar and he lacked any soul ring amplification, it had already caused such a significant change in him.

Inside the Pope Hall, Bibi Dong watched the transformed Lu Chen in silence.

Even she had to admit at this moment that the strength of this martial soul far exceeded common understanding, being even more outrageous than the Six-winged Angel.

A six-year-old child, having completed a Martial Soul Avatar without a single soul ring, was already able to display such an astonishing aura.

If he were to obtain soul rings and continue to grow in the future, just how strong would this martial soul become?

A flicker of satisfaction and anticipation crossed Bibi Dong's eyes.

A moment later, she spoke: "Attack me with your greatest strength."

Hearing these words, Lu Chen's heart stirred slightly.

He guessed that Bibi Dong intended to personally test his base strength after his martial soul manifested.

Such opportunities were rare.

After all, with his current strength, it was impossible for him to harm Bibi Dong in the slightest.

Since that was the case, he did not need to worry about striking too hard; he only needed to unleash his full potential.

Lu Chen nodded.

"Yes, Teacher."

As the words left his lips, he lowered his stance slightly, feeling the power surging within him.

After his martial soul manifested, his physical state was completely transformed.

Strength, speed, and reflexes all seemed to have ascended to another level in an instant.

The sensation was incredibly clear, as if the limitations of his previously narrow body had been unlocked, and a tyrannical force within was waiting to be released.

Lu Chen raised his right fist.

The next moment, he moved his feet and lunged toward Bibi Dong.

His movement was not flashy, nor did it carry any enhancements; it was simply a direct punch.

Yet, as the fist swung out, a dull, whistling sound of wind being torn apart echoed through the air.

Red and purple energy faintly coiled around his knuckles, carrying an intense sense of oppression as it struck straight toward Bibi Dong.

Facing the incoming attack, Bibi Dong did not dodge.

She raised her hand, calmly blocking in front of her.

Bang.

Lu Chen's fist landed in the palm of Bibi Dong's hand.

A powerful force erupted in an instant, only to be brushed aside by Bibi Dong with effortless ease.

To Bibi Dong, an attack of this magnitude naturally amounted to nothing.

However, the smile in her eyes grew noticeably brighter.

Because she was not testing whether Lu Chen could hurt her—if he actually managed that, it would be a different matter entirely.

She simply wanted to see what kind of power a child who had just awakened his martial soul could unleash after manifestation.

The result left her very satisfied.

Bibi Dong looked at Lu Chen, her tone filled with undisguised admiration.

"Not bad."

She withdrew her hand and continued, "The strength you possess just from the martial soul manifestation alone has already reached the level of a Spirit Ancestor."

At this, Bibi Dong's eyes brightened even further.

"And not just an ordinary Spirit Ancestor, but a Power Attack System Battle Spirit Ancestor with a top-tier martial soul."

This was an exceptionally high evaluation.

One had to realize that Lu Chen had only just awakened his martial soul; he had yet to obtain a spirit ring, nor did he possess any spirit skills.

Under normal circumstances, a child who had just awakened their martial soul, no matter how high their innate spirit power, could not possibly possess this level of strength solely through manifestation.

Yet, Leugocyte had achieved it.

This was the terrifying nature of a god-tier martial soul.

Lu Chen withdrew his fist and nodded on the surface, as if accepting Bibi Dong's praise.

In reality, however, he did not feel much surprise.

Spirit Ancestor level?

He was actually a bit disappointed.

Only at the Spirit Ancestor level?

Isn't that about the same as an Ultimate Martial Soul?

In Lu Chen's view, Leugocyte was the Universe Devourer, a top-tier monster even within the Ultraman Worldview.

Even if it were restricted by the rules of the Douluo Continent after becoming a martial soul, it shouldn't have manifested to such a limited degree.

However, on second thought, he had only just awakened his martial soul; he had no spirit rings, had not truly begun to cultivate, and had yet to master any of Leugocyte's abilities.

To possess the strength of a Spirit Ancestor merely through martial soul manifestation was, in fact, already quite exaggerated; even those with Ultimate Martial Souls might not necessarily reach this intensity.

It was simply that Lu Chen's expectations for Leugocyte were so high that he felt it was somewhat insufficient.

Of course, Bibi Dong could never know what was going through Lu Chen's mind.

If she knew that this child's first reaction upon hearing such an evaluation was to feel it was too weak, she would likely be rendered speechless.

Compared to the results of Lu Chen's strength test, Bibi Dong was now more concerned with another matter.
