Lu Chen looked conflicted, unsure how to choose. The Infinite Gem martial soul had given him too much information, and before he had fully digested it, he did not want to make a decision so quickly.
"Can you let me think about it first?" Lu Chen asked directly.
"Sure. This concerns your future and destiny, so you should think it over carefully. How about this, kid? Once you've made up your mind, come find me at Spirit Hall in Nuoding City. The doors of Spirit Hall will always be open to you."
Su Yuntao did not continue trying to persuade him. Given Spirit Hall's influence, he believed Lu Chen would come looking for him in Nuoding City one day.
"These are your martial soul awakening certificates. With them, you can enroll at Nuoding Primary Soul Master Academy. However, there is only one work-study student spot. That is the rule, and I cannot change it. Or you could join Spirit Hall instead."
Old Jack took the martial soul awakening certificates from Su Yuntao and looked them over, smiling so broadly that every wrinkle on his face bunched together.
"It's getting late. I need to head to the next village. Farewell." With that, Su Yuntao left alone.
"What a wonderful day! Little Chen, go home first. I'll take Tang San back and tell Tang Hao the good news. Hmph! I really don't know what kind of damned luck that drunkard had, having such an outstanding child as Little San."
"Then I'll head back first, Lu Chen." Tang San waved goodbye.
Lu Chen nodded in response. Soon, he was the only one left in the entire Spirit Hall.
"Infinite Gems!!"
Lu Chen summoned his martial soul again, then sat down where he was and began processing the vast amount of information the Infinite Gems had fed back to him.
The six Infinite Gems that had become Lu Chen's martial soul were practically part of his body now. Using the abilities of any one of them was as simple as eating or drinking to him.
Unlike Thanos in the Avengers, who needed the Infinity Gauntlet to use the Infinite Gems as he pleased, and who had only tapped into part of their power, with many abilities still unmastered and unfamiliar to him.
The purple Power Gem allowed Lu Chen to grasp and control every form of power and energy—gravity, repulsion, gravitational force, all kinds of energy attacks, and more. It could also absorb energy and release it again.
It supported the other Gems and could enhance their effects.
By using this Gem, Lu Chen could copy any physical superpower and bring his own physical attack and defense capabilities to an invincible level.
Whoever used the Power Gem could possess nearly the strongest energy in the universe. Even the slightest release could unleash an energy shockwave that would wipe out vast numbers of ordinary enemies.
There were also purple energy beams exclusive to the Power Gem. This was only the crudest and most basic way to use it, yet even so, at maximum power, it could trigger an energy explosion capable of destroying an entire planet.
There had been a scene in a Marvel movie where Star-Lord gave the Orb to the Collector. The Collector showed them footage of a giant holding a staff embedded with the Power Gem. With a single tap against the ground, the entire planet was destroyed by the Power Gem.
The green Time Gem could allow Lu Chen to reach any point in time, whether the distant past or the far-off future. By using its power, he could observe or experience any era.
Not only that, the Time Gem could do even more, even manipulating time and causality.
This meant the Time Gem could be used as a weapon, plunging an enemy and the entire world into an endless time loop. Of course, that was only one way to use it.
Time stop, time reversal, time acceleration, time loops, time deletion, predicting the future—when paired with the Space Gem, it could even enable travel through space and time, allowing him to go to any place at any point in time, change history, and control causality.
The blue Space Gem could allow Lu Chen, in an instant, to freely move himself or any object he wished to move to any location, planet, spatial world he could sense, or even another universe.
He could also warp or rearrange space at will. Thus, abilities such as spatial transportation, Space Imprisonment, intangibility, Teleportation, dimensional storms, spatial folding, spatial displacement, endless black holes, and more were as easy as breathing before the Space Gem.
At the same time, it contained unimaginably enormous energy. It was also worth mentioning that Captain Marvel's powers came from the Space Gem.
The yellow Soul Gem possessed the ability to steal, manipulate, or alter souls.
The Gem could control not only the souls of living beings, but even the dead at its command.
It might not sound particularly powerful, but anything involving the soul undoubtedly demonstrated its formidable capabilities.
Most importantly, this was a world where martial souls reigned supreme. The Soul Gem might have other uses as well.
The red Reality Gem could truly, without exaggeration, turn all such ideas into reality.
This Gem might be the most powerful, and at the same time, the most difficult to use.
But the Reality Gem had already fused with Lu Chen. Using it was as simple as eating or drinking.
Its wielder could use it to fulfill any dream.
All scientific laws and laws of nature were meaningless before it, because it could alter them at will.
The Reality Gem could do more than create illusions indistinguishable from reality. As long as Lu Chen wished it, those illusions could become completely real.
If used properly, it could be said to be the strongest of the six.
The orange Mind Gem could allow Lu Chen to enter other people's minds.
It could also make every dream, thought, and idea enter Lu Chen's mind.
Before this Gem, as long as Lu Chen wished it, no one could have any secrets.
It could strengthen mental power and enhance psychic abilities.
Under conditions where the other Gems boosted its power, this Gem could even enter the minds of all existing things at once.
Even the lightest touch could alter another person's mind, thoughts, will, and beliefs according to Lu Chen's wishes.
Put simply, it was a super-enhanced version of Kotoamatsukami, with no limit on uses, no cooldown, more functions, and even greater power.
At the same time, the Mind Gem itself contained immense energy.
That was all the information the six Infinite Gems had fed back to Lu Chen. Now that these six Infinite Gems had become Lu Chen's martial soul, he could use them freely without any side effects. As long as his stamina allowed it, he could even snap his fingers without suffering any harm.
"It feels like I've fallen into a dream! Why does this all feel so unreal? Am I invincible already? Should I test their abilities?"
