The Strongest Body Martial Soul

"What the hell?"

A clear, foolish look flashed through Yu Mu'en's black eyes. It was his first time hearing those names. What kind of bizarre Martial Souls were the Immune System and Nervous System?

He knew about nerves—those things in the brain and spine. Douluo Continent's medical system had done some research in those areas, especially the Body Sect, which was particularly outstanding in that regard.

Since Shrek Academy and the Body Sect were hostile to one another, Shrek Academy had also conducted a certain amount of research into the human body in order to understand and guard against them.

But this was still the first time he had heard the term Immune System. What was that supposed to be?

"Sounds like Twin Body Martial Souls."

Leaning against the wall, Lin En said, "Could you explain in more detail?"

Having read the Douluo series, Lin En naturally knew the relevant concepts, but he had no way of knowing what differences existed between the real world and the novel's world.

If things truly worked as described in the novels, this planet's gravity could not possibly support the existence of the planet itself.

There happened to be a member of Shrek Academy's Supervisory Group before him, someone who should hold an extremely high position within the academy.

Ordinary people could not summon a healing-type Titled Douluo. Through him, Lin En could learn more about Soul Masters and organize his knowledge accordingly.

After pondering for a moment, Yu Mu'en began solemnly explaining concepts related to Martial Souls to Lin En.

"Be grateful, child. Outside, you couldn't buy this knowledge even if you had money."

"Let's start with Martial Souls. I don't know how you understand the concept of a Martial Soul."

"Martial Souls originate from the human body. As for exactly how they come into being, no one has figured that out to this day.

"Ordinary Martial Souls are divided into Tool Martial Souls and Beast Martial Souls. Though this classification is crude, it covers more than ninety percent of Martial Souls."

"Tool Martial Souls are all kinds of weapons. Just like people, tools come in different ranks. Farming tools rarely possess Innate Soul Power, while blades, spears, swords, and halberds are more likely to have it.

"Tool Martial Souls with Innate Soul Power above rank five generally possess special abilities. You can tell from a weapon's appearance—the more ornate the weapon, the more attention you should pay to it."

"Of course, that isn't absolute. Blade and hammer Martial Souls are different. The Clear Sky Hammer, known as the strongest Tool Martial Soul, looks quite ordinary."

"Tool Martial Souls are a major category. Seventy percent of the continent's people possess them. Their lower limit is low and their upper limit is high, but their overall rate of Innate Soul Power is lower than that of Beast Martial Souls."

"Beast Martial Souls are relatively rarer. Their Martial Souls are creatures such as wolves, deer, and snakes. Compared with ordinary Tool Martial Souls, they possess an additional special ability: Martial Soul Possession.

"After possession, the person gains the special abilities of that creature, and their physical qualities are strengthened in every respect."

"It is commonly believed within the Soul Master world that before Soul Saint, Beast Martial Soul Masters are stronger than Tool Martial Soul Masters.

"After Soul Saint, it becomes difficult to say. Tool Martial Soul Masters more easily carve out their own paths. Such people are usually exceptionally gifted, with almost no bottlenecks in their cultivation."

"At present, nearly all of the strongest beings in the Soul Master world are Beast Martial Soul Masters—dragons, angels, Taotie, and so on.

"It isn't because their talent surpasses that of Tool Martial Soul Masters. It's because of bloodlines. A bloodline is an accelerator. Those with bloodlines cultivate faster than those without."

"But bloodlines are also shackles. Lower-tier bloodlines can scarcely resist higher-tier bloodlines. Like True Dragons and Sub-Dragons, they are as different as heaven and earth. Superiority, inferiority, nobility, and lowliness are decided from the moment of birth."

When speaking of bloodlines, Yu Mu'en lowered his head and clenched his hand. Golden light seemed to flash in his eyes, and the light element suddenly grew much denser, but the chains around him quickly suppressed him.

Those chains were no ordinary objects. They were sealing Soul Tools, crafted by masters, and Yu Mu'en could not break free from them.

Powerlessly, he slammed the iron chain around his wrist against the ground with a clanging crash. Then he sighed and continued.

"Back to Body Martial Souls. Everything in existence can become a Martial Soul, and the human body is no exception."

"Hands, eyes, skin, and legs can all become Martial Souls. Long ago, around the era of Spirit Hall, these Martial Souls sat at the same table as Blue Silver Grass—utterly typical trash Martial Souls."

"That was until the emergence of a sect that declared the strength of Body Martial Souls to the continent through blood and fire."

"Two thousand years ago, the Body Sect appeared out of nowhere. This sect consisted entirely of Body Martial Soul Masters and possessed a great many experts!

"After emerging, they arrogantly provoked every famous and righteous sect, then effortlessly crushed them all."

"Only then did everyone realize that Body Martial Souls were not trash Martial Souls at all. People simply had not found the best way to use them."

"Body Martial Souls are incredibly malleable. Blood, bones, every inch of the body can be controlled perfectly. In battle, they are like the most flawless killing machines, with tremendous regenerative abilities."

"The Body Sect also possesses a method for Second Martial Soul Awakening. I don't know the specifics—it is a secret art of the Body Sect.

"Even if it is only the most ordinary bronze grade, once one comprehends it, their Martial Soul can immediately enter the ranks of top-tier Martial Souls!"

"The great war two thousand years ago caused enormous casualties across the continent, and all major powers suffered severe blows. Sects like the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect even lost portions of their inheritance."

"Our Shrek Academy also went to war with them and lost miserably. It was only afterward that the Sea God Pavilion and the Supervisory Group were established."

Zhang Lexuan, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly said in a muffled voice, "They sound like bad people, just like Evil Soul Masters."

Yu Mu'en scratched his head. "You can't quite put it that way."

"People from the Body Sect can only be described as both righteous and wicked. They do as they please, but they cannot be lumped together with beasts like Evil Soul Masters."

"They show no mercy when killing Evil Soul Masters either. Though they are always causing trouble for the continent, they are willing to bear responsibility for it."

"Five hundred years ago, they single-handedly caused a beast tide, and in the end, they paid a heavy price for it."

"Now, in the face of the Sun Moon Empire, a great enemy, the Body Sect is also standing at the very front line."

"Ahem, I got sidetracked. Body Martial Souls have another special way of being judged: the importance of the body part! The more important the part, the stronger the Martial Soul.

"The publicly acknowledged strongest Body Martial Soul is the body itself. Its representative is the current sect master of the Body Sect."

"Uh, let me ask you something. Do you think your Martial Souls are important to the human body?"

Yu Mu'en did not understand what the two systems meant, so he could only ask Lin En, their owner.

Lin En did not conceal anything, because there was no point in doing so. Having an elder willing to offer advice was a good thing. The light aura that had appeared around the other man earlier had been obvious, and his identity was practically self-evident.

A member of Shrek Academy's Supervisory Group, a light aura, children, and the ability to summon a healing-type Titled Douluo—only the descendants of Shrek Academy's headmaster and Sea God Pavilion Master, Mu En, fit those conditions.

"I don't know how to explain the Immune System to you, but the Nervous System includes the brain, spinal cord, autonomic nerves, cranial nerves, and spinal nerves."

Yu Mu'en's eyes widened. His body went rigid for a moment, then he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"What a Nervous System! The brain itself is already a top-tier Body Martial Soul, yet there is actually a Body Martial Soul that includes the brain as one of its branches!"

"Top-tier! No, it might even be super-tier!"

"No wonder you could detect spiritual power as soon as your Martial Soul awakened. You've truly broadened my horizons."

"Child, do you know the Twin Martial Soul Theorem? Twin Martial Souls must be Martial Souls of the same grade. That so-called Immune System is absolutely no weaker than the Nervous System."

"What a pity. If we were outside, I would definitely recommend you to my great-grandfather."

"What rank is your Innate Soul Power?"

Lin En recalled the Innate Soul Power recorded by that white-robed old man and answered.

"Rank seven."

Yu Mu'en was not surprised. He merely nodded.

"Not bad."

"A three-year-old child's body has not fully developed. Even expanding the meridians consumes strength. Rank seven is already very high. If you had awakened at a normal age, you would definitely have had Innate Full Soul Power."

"Next, I'll try teaching you some meditation methods and basic Soul Master knowledge. Learn well from me."
