Top-Grade Martial Soul, Trash Martial Soul

Chapter 3: Top-Grade Martial Soul & Trash Martial Soul

After returning home, Yang Xiong fell unusually silent, mainly because he was thinking about how exactly to develop his Body Martial Soul.

A Full-Body Body Martial Soul was considered a top-grade existence even among Body Martial Souls. It offered an extremely wide range of development paths. Whether he pursued the Attack System, Agility System, or Defense System, all would be excellent choices. If he took the Spirit Path, he could even pursue the Control System.

In particular, the Full-Body Body Martial Soul possessed an extremely terrifying trait: the compatibility of the body.

The Full-Body Body Martial Soul could be said to be compatible with everything. It could absorb soul rings of any type, and absorbing them would not cause any side effects. It could even take the path of Deadly Poison, making it practically all-encompassing.

Douluo Continent 1 happened to be an exceptionally brilliant era, one that could be called the age of the Rise of the Gods. It had to be known that, in the entire Douluo World, Douluo Continent 1 had produced the most gods, truly deserving the title of the Rise of the Gods.

Yang Xiong thought it over carefully. Taking the path of Deadly Poison was definitely unworkable. Even if he reached the peak of that path, he would probably only reach Level 98. Although Deadly Poison could make his combat power even more formidable and cause his enemies to fear him more, existing like a nuclear weapon, it would ultimately damage his body.

The most ideal path for a Full-Body Body Martial Soul was naturally one of pure strength. Power Type Soul Beasts generally possessed fierce attacks and outstanding defense, and their soul rings were relatively easy to find.

However, Yang Xiong always felt that pursuing pure strength would impose certain limitations on him. It simply did not feel perfect. At the very least, it would leave him lacking in spiritual power.

Of course, no matter which development path he chose, the body was the foundation of everything. In the end, everything came down to one word: Body Forging. Only when his body was strong enough and his physical qualities outstanding enough could he absorb soul rings with higher age limits.

It had to be known that, throughout the entire Douluo World, without relying on external objects, only a Body Martial Soul could possibly absorb a 10,000-Year Fourth Soul Ring or a 100,000-Year Seventh Soul Ring. It could even accomplish this without an Immortal Herb.

For a Body Martial Soul to truly rise, it absolutely had to undergo a Second Awakening. Unfortunately, Yang Xiong did not know how to achieve a Second Awakening.

But Yang Xiong had no idea how to achieve a Second Awakening. The Original Work seemed not to have described it in detail either. The specific method appeared to be an unrevealed secret technique of the Body Sect. There was also the Deep Sea Pressure Method that had once been mentioned, but unfortunately, neither had been described in detail.

Of course, there was another method: using an Immortal Herb to undergo a Second Awakening. Unfortunately, Yang Xiong knew nothing at all about Immortal Herbs.

Ever since he was four, Yang Xiong had especially enjoyed reading. Every day, aside from exercising, he read all kinds of books. Some belonged to his parents, while others had been obtained by his parents through their connections from the Outer Sect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. None of those books contained any information about Immortal Herbs.

Perhaps the collection of books in the Inner Sect of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect contained a few introductions to Spirit Grass, but relatively speaking, there were still far too few.

While Yang Xiong was thinking, Yang Lin and Sun Yu grew somewhat worried when they saw him like this. For a soul master, the martial soul was fundamental, and awakening a Trash Martial Soul was something many people could not accept.

Yang Xiong's mother, Sun Yu, was already over forty. Yet no matter how hard she cultivated, she had only reached Level 42. She might not even be able to reach the Soul Emperor Realm in her lifetime. She herself even felt that she had entered a bottleneck. This was the greatest sorrow of a soul master's cultivation.

His father, Yang Lin, began consoling him. "Little Xiong, you don't need to worry too much. Your Innate Soul Power has reached Level 6. With the resources of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you should have no problem reaching the Soul Emperor or even Soul Saint level in the future."

"You should know that your mother's Innate Soul Power Level was only Level 4, while my Innate Soul Power Level was only Level 5. Your Innate Soul Power Level is higher than both mine and your mother's. Even throughout the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it can be considered quite outstanding."

Yang Xiong carefully looked at his parents. Both their faces were filled with worry, as if they were concerned that he was troubled by his martial soul. After all, the Body Martial Soul was universally recognized as a Trash Martial Soul, as well as a martial soul that was notoriously difficult to cultivate.

Yang Xiong could not help laughing. "Dad, Mom, what are you thinking? I was only considering how to develop my martial soul in the future. I'm very satisfied with the martial soul and Innate Soul Power Level I awakened this time. In the future, I may even reach a height our family has never reached before."

Sun Yu rubbed Yang Lin's little head, her face seemingly puzzled. "Little Xiong, did something go wrong during your martial soul awakening? This kind of martial soul is an extremely rare body part, but it is also universally recognized as a useless soul that is difficult to cultivate."

Yang Xiong hurriedly spoke up. "Mom, my martial soul is no Trash Martial Soul. This is a Top-Grade Martial Soul. Although it will be somewhat difficult to cultivate, it can also be considered one of the highest-level martial souls in the soul master world."

Yang Lin and Sun Yu looked at each other in bewilderment. There were indeed countless martial souls in this world, but a Body Martial Soul like theirs was so rare that the odds of encountering one were practically one in ten thousand.

Sun Yu thought for a moment before speaking. "Little Xiong, I've also checked all the records of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. No experts with a martial soul like ours have ever appeared in the soul master world. There have barely even been any Soul Saints. How could it be a top-grade martial soul?"

Yang Xiong said, "Mom, I've read quite a few books before. I call martial souls that are a part of the body Body Martial Souls. The main cultivation method for this kind of martial soul isn't meditation. It requires constant exercise. Only by constantly exercising and breaking through the body's limits can the martial soul grow stronger and stronger."

Yang Lin and Sun Yu were clearly even more confused. Both of them had been born in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and possessed an extremely broad range of knowledge, but they had never heard that the main method of cultivation for soul masters was to train the body. It had to be known that the soul master world's universally recognized method of improvement was absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth through meditation.

Yang Xiong looked at his parents' expressions and said nothing more. After all, the development of Body Martial Souls had been rather difficult. They would not truly rise until ten thousand years later, and Body Martial Souls did indeed possess certain limitations compared with others.

Seeing that Yang Xiong was not overly dejected, Yang Lin and Sun Yu both breathed a sigh of relief. Although they did not really understand what Yang Xiong had said, it was best that their son remained optimistic and ambitious.

As if he had thought of something, Yang Lin continued, "By the way, Little Xiong, your Innate Soul Power this time is quite good. The sect should pay you some attention. According to the sect's rules, all personnel will be enrolled together when the time comes. You'll be going to school soon."

Yang Xiong's face fell when he heard this. "Father, school is really too boring. I might as well study at home by myself. Besides, home is more suitable for me to exercise."

Yang Lin said, "These are the sect's rules. No one is exempt. Besides, all the children your age will be studying together. You can make more friends within the sect. Also, all the children from the Inner Sect and Outer Sect of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will study together. You can get to know those children from the Inner Sect ahead of time. With your Innate Soul Power Level, you'll enter the Inner Sect sooner or later."

"Also, I'll personally teach you the meditation method later. Starting today, you can meditate and cultivate on your own."
