Divine Physique, Ultimate Form

[Reward Three: Soul Master Knowledge Encyclopedia, which records all knowledge and information related to Spirit Masters, including Martial Soul cultivation, Spirit Ring selection, and more.]

[Reward Four: Record of Heavenly Materials, which records all heavenly materials and earthly treasures, including the properties of medicinal plants and how to harvest them.]

[Reward Five: System-Bestowed Spirit Ring, which can condense a Spirit Ring and Spirit Skill of a corresponding age based on a Spirit Master's physical and mental strength.]

The remaining three rewards were all top-notch.

The original Douluo story had very little to say about either Spirit Master knowledge or heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Spirit Master knowledge could still be learned at an academy. At worst, he might not learn anything too profound, but he would certainly learn enough to get by.

Heavenly materials and earthly treasures were another matter entirely. Across the whole Douluo Continent, perhaps only Tang San and Yue Guan knew about them.

And many heavenly materials and earthly treasures had to be harvested using special methods.

Lin Chen only knew how to harvest a few Immortal Herbs.

Yet the treasures in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, along with its ordinary medicinal plants, numbered far more than just those few.

If he got the harvesting method wrong, the effects could be reduced at best, or completely lost at worst, turning them into a pile of useless weeds.

With the Record of Heavenly Materials, that wouldn't happen.

The value of the System-Bestowed Spirit Ring went without saying.

The Douluo Continent had God-Bestowed Spirit Rings, but one could only obtain one upon making a breakthrough for the first time after beginning a Divine Trial. Besides, no one had ever been seen obtaining two.

And how many 100,000-year Soul Beasts were there on the Douluo Continent?

Leaving aside Di Tian and the other beasts hidden somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Chen knew of only nine.

And most of their attributes weren't all that compatible with him.

The System-Bestowed Spirit Ring could solve this problem perfectly.

And since the system's reward pool had produced its first System-Bestowed Spirit Ring, there would surely be a second, then a third.

That meant he wouldn't be short of 100,000-year Spirit Rings in the future—or even Million-Year Spirit Rings.

How could he not be delighted?

All five rewards were excellent, but this time he could only choose one, and he was more inclined to choose the Martial Soul.

The rewards wouldn't disappear, but only what he had in hand truly belonged to him.

Besides, for his Body Martial Soul to undergo a Second Awakening, he had to wait for the right opportunity. That opportunity might never come—or it might arrive the very next second.

Opportunity favored the prepared, so he needed to get it first.

But he was in a carriage right now. Who knew what kind of commotion a Martial Soul Awakening might cause? He'd better wait until he got back to Nuoding City.

The next afternoon.

After returning to Nuoding City, Lin Chen immediately found a hotel and checked in.

System, choose Reward Two and awaken.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a gentle force abruptly surged from within him, spreading to every corner of his body.

Lin Chen could clearly feel his physical strength increasing.

A Body Martial Soul took a part of the body as its Martial Soul. Lin Chen's Divine Physique, however, took his entire body as its Martial Soul.

The boost it gave his physique was beyond what a Tool Martial Soul or Beast Martial Soul could match.

He even felt this increase in physical strength was considerably greater than the boost the Body Tempering Pill had given him.

A moment later, his Martial Soul Awakening was complete.

At the same time, Lin Chen received information about his Martial Soul from the system.

Divine Physique, Ultimate Form.

He'd been thinking about a Second Awakening, but the Divine Physique the system had given him was already in its Gold-Level Second Awakening form right from its first awakening.

There was no need to experience a life-or-death moment.

Lin Chen walked over to the full-length mirror in the room and looked at his reflection.

His body hadn't changed much. The only difference was that strange golden divine markings now covered him from head to toe.

Even his face bore them.

But the golden markings didn't obscure his good looks. If anything, they lent him an ineffable air of divinity.

The most important thing was...

Lin Chen held out his right hand, and the Dragon Roar Sword appeared in it. A bright yellow Spirit Ring rose from beneath his feet.

He had released the Dragon Roar Sword Martial Soul and its Spirit Ring, but his Divine Physique hadn't withdrawn.

Twin Martial Souls could only be released simultaneously right after awakening, before a Spirit Ring had been added to either one.

But now, both his Martial Souls could exist at the same time.

This wasn't a coincidence.

The system had given him a clear prompt: he could use both Martial Souls at once, and use the Spirit Rings and Spirit Skills of both Martial Souls at the same time, too.

Excitement and exhilaration churned together in Lin Chen's heart.

There were countless cheaters in Douluo, but what kind of cheat could be better than Twin Martial Souls whose Spirit Rings could be used simultaneously?

Lin Chen smiled faintly at his reflection, and both Martial Souls vanished.

With a system like this, if he still had to struggle and toil away at cultivation like an ordinary Spirit Master, what was the point of having it?

He wanted an invincible life where he could enjoy himself to the fullest.

He just didn't know whether the system's rewards included people. If it could give him a Guardian or someone like that, it would be perfect.

After all, he wanted to follow the protagonist's group and farm rewards, which meant Tang Hao was someone he'd inevitably have to face.

Without someone to keep Tang Hao in check, he'd have to hold back in everything he did. That kind of life wouldn't be fun at all.

System, I know you can't talk, but I hope you'll be a little more sensible, okay?

Lin Chen gave the system a word of advice, then went to the bed, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating his Soul Power.

Time flew by. Three months passed.

For the past three months, Lin Chen had either cultivated at the hotel or occasionally gone into town to pick up a little cash. His days had been carefree enough.

The Profound Origin Technique truly lived up to being a system reward.

In just three months, he'd managed to cultivate almost 1.2 levels of Soul Power. At this rate, he'd reach level twenty in a year and a half at most.

[Destiny Alteration complete. Please choose four rewards from the following.]

One morning, just as Lin Chen opened his eyes, the system's prompt suddenly rang out, making his eyes light up.

There was no need to guess. The script he'd written for Tang Hao back then had surely succeeded.

If Lin Chen hadn't been there as a variable, Tang Hao going to keep Ah Yin company wouldn't have made much difference. At most, Tang San might have had trouble with his First Soul Ring.

After all, that 400-year-old Mandala Snake had appeared at an absurdly convenient time.

But Lin Chen was there.

As long as he was in Nuoding City, even if he arrived half a day late, Tang Hao still wouldn't discover Xiao Wu.

And if Tang Hao didn't discover Xiao Wu, Tang San would lose at least three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

Even if Tang Hao later took Tang San to Slaughter City, without Xiao Wu as his sword sheath, Tang San would no longer have the conditions to become one with two gods.

Four rewards wasn't too much at all.

Lin Chen immediately inspected the new reward pool. Since he still hadn't chosen four rewards from last time, the pool had only refreshed with one new reward.

But that one reward was enough to make Lin Chen spring right off the bed.
