The Power of the Soldier Martial Soul

"Xiaoliang, why did you agree without even asking? Spirit Hall is extremely powerful." Liu Erlong asked in confusion.

"Master, Innate Soul Power represents a person's talent, and I have Innate Full Soul Power. That means my talent is at the very top. Since that is the case, I don't think I'll lose to people my age." Zhou Liang looked at Liu Erlong and spoke seriously.

"That was quite a domineering thing to say, Xiaoliang. Master likes those words." Liu Erlong said in surprise after hearing Zhou Liang.

"However, the competition is a seven-versus-seven team battle, and my Lanba Academy has only been established for two years. We don't have extensive teacher and student resources, so we don't have enough geniuses either." Liu Erlong sighed and shook her head as she spoke.

"Xiaoliang, don't worry about that for now. Come, let's first take a look at your Martial Soul." Liu Erlong shook her head and spoke to Zhou Liang.

Zhou Liang nodded and summoned his First Martial Soul, Soldier.

In an instant, a half-armored soldier appeared beside Zhou Liang.

Liu Erlong walked over to the Martial Soul Soldier, stretched out her hand, and lightly tapped its shoulder with some force. Then she asked Zhou Liang beside her, "Xiaoliang, do you feel any pain?"

"No, Master!" Zhou Liang shook his head.

Liu Erlong nodded. Then she circulated her Soul Power and flicked the Martial Soul Soldier's arm with greater force. Instantly, the Martial Soul Soldier's left hand began to tremble.

"What about this time?" Liu Erlong asked.

Zhou Liang shook his head.

Liu Erlong nodded. She circulated her Soul Power once more, aimed at one of the Martial Soul Soldier's fingers, and flicked it.

Bang!

That finger of the Martial Soul Soldier exploded directly. Liu Erlong hurriedly turned to look at Zhou Liang.

Seeing that Zhou Liang had no reaction, Liu Erlong asked, "Still no feeling this time?"

When Zhou Liang nodded, Liu Erlong said excitedly, "Xiaoliang, although your Martial Soul is an external type, it doesn't have the greatest weakness of external-type Martial Souls: shared damage."

"That means you can stay far away and control your Martial Soul. Your ability to survive is far greater than that of ordinary Soul Masters."

After saying that, Liu Erlong looked around, then pointed at a boulder over two meters tall nearby and said to Zhou Liang, "Xiaoliang, use your Martial Soul to attack that rock. Let me see how powerful it is."

"Alright, Master." Zhou Liang nodded and controlled his Soldier Martial Soul to attack the boulder.

The soldier instantly charged at full speed toward the boulder. It raised its right hand high, clenched its armored fist, and smashed it viciously into the rock with the force of its momentum.

Boom!

The two-meter-tall boulder let out a thunderous sound from the Martial Soul Soldier's punch. Then, with a crack, a fissure appeared on its surface.

"Xiaoliang, your strength is incredible. Ordinary Soul Masters would probably only have this kind of attack power after obtaining their First Soul Ring." Liu Erlong said in surprise.

"Master, the strength of my Soldier Martial Soul should be based on my own strength plus the Martial Soul's strength. Since my own strength is greater than that of ordinary people, that's why it has such power," Zhou Liang said.

Liu Erlong nodded and conducted several more tests. Then she said to Zhou Liang, "Xiaoliang, I've already had someone prepare a room for you. I also arranged for someone to move your things from the orphanage. You'll live here from now on."

"Alright, Master." Zhou Liang nodded.

"Good. I'll take you back to rest first. Tomorrow, Master will take you to hunt your First Soul Ring."

Zhou Liang nodded and followed Liu Erlong out of the courtyard. They returned to the academy and arrived at a single dormitory room.

This would be where Zhou Liang lived from then on. After seeing Liu Erlong off, Zhou Liang finally let out a sigh of relief. Pretending to be a child really was uncomfortable.

Zhou Liang looked over the room's furnishings, walked to the bed, and sat down. Then he opened the personal panel that had activated after his Martial Soul Awakening succeeded.

[Name: Zhou Liang.

Identity: Reserve Traveler.

Current World: Training World—Douluo Mainland.

Age: Six years old (Douluo Mainland age), nineteen years old (actual age).

Soul Power Level: Tenth Level.

Techniques: [Everlasting Spring Technique], [Myriad Poisons Spring Transformation Technique], [Hundred States of Life Meditation Technique], [Yin-Yang Harmonization Technique].

Soul Bones: None.

Self-Created Soul Skills: None.

First Martial Soul: Soldier.

Second Martial Soul: Defense Tower.

Third Martial Soul: Revival Spring.

(Note: This personal panel is a temporary panel formed according to the Training World and is not part of the Infinite Space panel.)]

"Three-Life Martial Soul. The third Martial Soul is actually Revival Spring. After merging with the True Spirit Mark, even if my soul is shattered outside, I can revive within the spring. The revival time merely varies according to the nature of what is revived. Even without any Soul Rings, this Martial Soul is already an existence that defies heaven." Zhou Liang sensed his third Martial Soul and thought.

"Not to mention the spring's restorative state. It restores vitality and energy at an extremely rapid percentage-based rate. For me now, energy is equivalent to Soul Power. In other words, I'll never face a situation where I don't have enough Soul Power to spend." Thinking of this, Zhou Liang laughed aloud.

After all, such an overpowered Martial Soul meant Zhou Liang could gain greater strength in the Training World. Only with greater strength could he survive better in Infinite Space.

At that moment, Zhou Liang opened the mission panel. All the missions on it had already been triggered, but their time limits were all unlimited. The penalty field showed none, while most reward fields showed zero.

Zhou Liang frowned and began reviewing all the missions. As he looked through them, he suddenly noticed a red dot in the upper-right corner. After opening it, a sentence appeared.

"Because this world is a Training World, the point rewards are zero. Ship tickets are not affected."

"Ship tickets, the high-grade currency within the Dimension Ark, are divided into four types: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold." Zhou Liang opened the description for ship tickets and curled his lip at the crude explanation.

He then closed the personal panel and began sensing his Martial Soul, Soldier.

"I wonder what effect my First Martial Soul will have after obtaining a Soul Ring. It would be best if it lets me summon soldiers. In that case, with Revival Spring, I can summon soldiers without any restrictions and form an army of thousands all by myself. When the time comes for the Continental Advanced Academy Elite Soul Master Tournament, so what if the Spirit Hall Team is strong? An endless tide of soldiers can bury them to death."
