Body Martial Soul, Immortal Body

Hearing Tang Ya's question, Lu Chen was curious himself.

He had transmigrated directly in the middle of awakening his martial soul.

Even now, he still had no idea what martial soul he had awakened.

Don't tell me the second transmigration got my martial soul stuck somewhere...

"Let me take a look."

After saying that, Lu Chen tried to prop himself up and get out of bed.

However, the moment he moved, an intense stiffness and sluggishness surged through his body.

After all, he had not truly moved for several years.

He slowly and somewhat clumsily shifted his legs, cautiously letting his feet touch the floor.

Throughout the process, every bone in his body seemed to protest silently.

A series of crisp crackling sounds rang out.

The sounds rose and fell, exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

It was as though every joint was awakening, while also reminding him that this body had slept for far too long.

But then Lu Chen noticed something was wrong.

"Eh, strange. Logically speaking, after not moving for years, my meridians should have long since become blocked and my blood vessels congested. Why is there no resistance at all when I try to circulate my soul power?"

"Of course there isn't!"

Tang Ya put her hands on her hips and lifted her chin. "This big sister used the Mysterious Heaven Technique every week to nourish your blood and vital energy and clear your meridians."

At those words, Lu Chen was deeply moved.

The girl made it sound easy, but nearly four years of unwavering persistence was no simple feat.

"Thank you, Xiaoya." Lu Chen's tone was solemn.

Tang Ya froze as she looked at his handsome face suddenly drawing close, along with those gentle eyes.

Then her pretty face flushed faintly. Her gaze darted away as she pretended not to care and said,

"Oh, I'm your big sister. Isn't it only natural for a big sister to take care of her little brother? Why are you thanking me? Stop wasting time and try your martial soul."

Looking at the bashful Tang Ya, Lu Chen smiled slightly. "All right!"

With that, Lu Chen calmed his mind and began circulating his soul power.

At a thought, the blood in Lu Chen's body seemed to turn into scorching magma, rushing wildly through him!

With a boom, the dim wooden cabin was instantly illuminated as brightly as day.

It was an incomparably pure golden light, carrying even a trace of sacred judgment!

Under Tang Ya's horrified gaze, the air behind Lu Chen twisted violently.

A golden phantom, as if carved from marble, rose from the ground.

The giant stood a full three meters tall, its features identical to Lu Chen's.

The lines across its body resembled layered mountain ranges of muscle, carrying an explosive visual impact.

As golden light flowed over it, the giant seemed like a deity awakened from ancient times.

The faint evil aura that had lingered in Tang Ya's eyes instantly vanished like remnant snow beneath the blazing sun under the radiance of this Ultimate Light.

"Th-this is..."

Tang Ya was forced back again and again by the terrifying blast of air.

Instinctively, she released Blue Silver Grass to steady herself.

Yet she discovered in horror that her Blue Silver Grass, for some reason,

Curled up on the ground, trembling, the instant it touched the golden light.

It was as though it had encountered an extremely terrifying natural enemy and submitted in humble fear.

There was none of the sharpness of a tool martial soul, nor the savagery of a beast martial soul.

There was only an overbearing aura that crushed all beneath it and stood supreme above all!

"Not a tool martial soul, and not a beast martial soul..."

Tang Ya's mouth fell open. Feeling the vast, abyss-like fluctuations of blood and vital energy emanating from Lu Chen, she cried out,

"It's a body! Little Chen, your martial soul is actually yourself?!"

Lu Chen had been the one to explain the concept of a Body Martial Soul to Tang Ya back then. He had never expected it to truly appear before them now.

"So this is my martial soul..."

Lu Chen was equally shocked and muttered to himself.

His parents in this life had both been ordinary people. There was no way he could have inherited a martial soul of this caliber from them.

Moreover, the ultimate power of light inherent in this martial soul was clearly not something an ordinary martial soul could possess.

Therefore, this martial soul could only have come from somewhere else!

Lu Chen suddenly thought of something.

Could the strand of Divine Power I swallowed before dying have mutated my body?

And given it a light attribute as well?

Did Zombieman's abilities come with me too?

At that thought, Lu Chen immediately became excited and looked at Tang Ya.

"Big Sister Xiaoya, lend me the dagger at your waist."

"Ah... Why do you need a dagger all of a sudden?"

Tang Ya had yet to recover from her shock and looked utterly confused.

Still, she removed the dagger and handed it over, adding, "This dagger is very sharp. Be careful."

Lu Chen nodded. His mind was filled with thoughts of an Immortal Body, and anticipation gleamed in his eyes.

He cleanly and decisively sliced open his palm with the dagger.

Blood instantly spurted from his palm.

"Lu Chen, what are you doing?!"

Tang Ya's expression changed when she saw him suddenly hurt himself, and she hurried over.

She pulled out a roll of bandages from her storage soul tool and snapped,

"Have you lost your mind? Why are you hurting yourself for no reason?"

But when she spread open Lu Chen's palm, she froze.

The bone-deep wound was rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just two or three seconds, the wound had completely vanished.

Only a few traces of blood remained, proving what had just happened.

"You..."

Tang Ya was completely speechless.

The self-healing ability of Soul Masters was not rare, but that was limited to high-level Soul Masters.

Or those who possessed healing-type soul bones or soul skills.

She had never even heard of anyone like Lu Chen, whose wound spanning his entire palm could heal in mere seconds.

"This recovery... This feeling is too familiar.

I actually really brought Zombieman's abilities with me!"

Lu Chen was both shocked and delighted, feeling as though he were in a dream.

As the saying went, names could be mistaken, but nicknames never were.

Zombieman had earned that nickname because of his monstrous ability.

The Hyper-Regeneration of one who died yet could not die!

Whether his head was severed from his body, his organs ruptured, or his limbs pulverized,

He could regenerate within a short time.

As long as a single cell survived, he could recover completely.

The only way to kill him was to thoroughly grind him apart, like a god, until he could no longer regenerate.

Furthermore, his stamina and endurance were both among the very best.

His only weakness was probably his attack power.

That was precisely why, after transmigrating to One-Punch World, Lu Chen had immediately become Bang's disciple and learned all kinds of martial arts.

"Little Chen, are Body Martial Souls really this strong? You're not a transformed soul beast, are you?"

Tang Ya moved closer to Lu Chen, her large eyes filled with suspicion as she scrutinized him.

Even without any soul rings attached, Tang Ya could feel the extreme pressure Lu Chen gave off in his current martial soul state.

Even as a Great Soul Master, she was no match for him.

The corner of Lu Chen's mouth twitched. He lightly tapped her forehead with the flat of the blade.

"Have you ever seen a soul beast that casually fell unconscious for three years?"

"Ow, that hurt!"

Tang Ya instinctively covered her forehead, shot him an aggrieved glare, and huffed,

"I was just saying! Who told you to be such a freak?!

Hurry up and tell me, what is this powerful self-healing ability? Does your martial soul come with it?"

After saying that, she directly snatched the dagger back and tucked it into her waist, afraid Lu Chen might hurt himself again.

Seeing her like this, Lu Chen smiled helplessly, as if he had returned to the days before he was six.

Though Tang Ya was a year older than him, she was far inferior to him in both height and experience, considering he had lived two lives.

When they were children, she had always followed behind him like a little tagalong.

Rather than calling her his big sister, it would have been more fitting to call her his little sister.

Lu Chen lowered his head and looked at his already healed palm as he explained,

"What I awakened is indeed a Body Martial Soul, and the most perfect kind at that. It is even more perfect than Du Bushi's."

"Du Bushi? The sect master of the Body Sect, Du Bushi!"

Tang Ya said in surprise, "I think I heard you mention him before. You said he was incredibly powerful, a level 98 Super Douluo!"

Lu Chen nodded. "Although Du Bushi's martial soul is also a body, his spiritual power is no different from an ordinary person's, so he is not a spiritual-type Soul Master.

But my Body Martial Soul has not only perfectly inherited the advantages of the physical body, its spiritual attribute also far surpasses that of ordinary people!"
