"Teacher... y-your Martial Soul is also a support type?!"
At the mountain peak, the transcendent Immortal figure, coupled with his incomparably handsome profile, left Ning Rongrong staring blankly.
Her heart churned violently.
Teacher... was the same as her... a support-type Martial Soul master?
Then why did Teacher possess such terrifying attack power?
With a casual wave, a sound wave from afar had sent so many people flying and severely wounded the Scrub Chicken Phoenix!
Under Ning Rongrong's excited yet puzzled gaze,
Su Chen nodded slightly, the Transcendent Immortal Flute spinning nimbly around his palm.
"Strictly speaking, my Martial Soul, the Transcendent Immortal Flute, was initially not even as useful as a support Martial Soul. It is a temperament-type Martial Soul, similar to an innate temperament domain, naturally accompanying me from birth."
"It has no offensive abilities whatsoever, and even its support abilities are negligible."
Whenever Su Chen mentioned this, anger rose in his heart!
System, screw you!
Of the three supreme Trait Entries he had awakened, only those related to looks, temperament, and comprehension existed. There was no Trait Entry for a supreme Martial Soul, so he had directly been born with the Transcendent Immortal accessory Martial Soul.
This Transcendent Immortal Flute could only enhance his temperament and charm. Especially when he played it, he truly looked like an immortal performing music, revered by all beneath heaven!
But apart from that, it was useless.
When Su Chen had first learned of this, he had undoubtedly been devastated.
After all, a Martial Soul was the core of a Soul Master.
If the core was weak, no amount of effort would matter.
But Su Chen quickly adjusted his mindset.
Dragon Country had a famous saying: man could conquer heaven.
Fight men, fight the earth, fight heaven—there was endless joy in it.
Since his core was lacking, Su Chen would strengthen that core.
After reviewing Douluo's history, Su Chen had realized something:
Martial Souls were not immutable. Under certain circumstances, they could evolve and transform.
For instance, consuming Immortal-Grade Flowers and Herbs could allow even a low-tier Martial Soul like Luo Sanpao to evolve into a Golden Sacred Dragon.
Immortal-Grade Flowers and Herbs were opportunities one could only stumble upon by chance.
Though the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was good, rashly confronting the eccentric Dugu Bo was not necessarily wise.
Besides, the Transcendent Immortal Flute was not low in quality. On the contrary, its quality was exceptionally high.
Thus, Su Chen diligently explored and developed a method uniquely suited to himself, one that could guide a Martial Soul toward beneficial transformation without relying on Immortal-Grade Flowers and Herbs.
This method was called: seek progress through stability, one transformation every three skills. Temper the body and refine the soul, becoming one with the Martial Soul.
Wanting to turn a harmless Martial Soul into the strongest assault-type Martial Soul in one go was unrealistic.
Therefore, one needed stability and could not be impatient.
By gradually absorbing three beneficial Spirit Rings and using their power to stack attributes and strength, one could ultimately achieve a step-by-step evolutionary effect.
Combined with physical training, strengthening one's spiritual power, and skillfully mastering the subtle uses of one's Martial Soul, this would raise the upper limit of the Spirit Ring age one could absorb as well as one's combat ability.
Su Chen's Transcendent Immortal Flute had evolved in precisely this manner. Starting as a top-tier temperament-type Martial Soul, it had entered sound through qi, transformed sound into killing intent, and given birth to the sword through transformation. It was now a powerful Martial Soul that possessed offense, defense, and support capabilities.

"My first Soul Skill, Dust Melody Binds the Void, can only restrict an enemy's movements to a certain extent."
As he spoke, Su Chen stood atop the mountain peak with the Transcendent Immortal Flute in hand. Seven Spirit Rings—yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, and black—appeared beneath his feet.
With a peerless bearing, he used himself as an example to demonstrate his Soul Skills to Ning Rongrong.
"But my second Soul Skill is already powerful control."
"My third Soul Skill completes a transformation. The flute can become a sword."
"My fourth Soul Skill, Pure Night Shatters Delusion, is already a killing move."
As he spoke, the Transcendent Immortal Flute in Su Chen's palm suddenly transformed into a sharp sword of carefree, transcendent brilliance.
With a single slash, he sheared away part of the neighboring mountain peak, sending dust billowing into the air.
"Teacher, your flute is so powerful!"
"I want to learn! Teacher, teach me!"
Watching Su Chen wield his flute and casually unleash that elegant sword strike, Ning Rongrong was stunned.
Sword Grandpa, I'm sorry. From now on, you're no longer the greatest swordsman in Rongrong's heart.
Teacher is.
He's so cool!
"There are countless Martial Souls in this world, each with its own path. Only by tailoring the method to the Martial Soul can one treat the root of the problem. How can you judge the whole leopard from a single spot?"
"Though your Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda and my Transcendent Immortal Flute are both tool-type Martial Souls, their cultivation methods are completely different."
Su Chen's Heaven-Defying Comprehension Trait Entry took effect at that moment. After only a brief consideration, he had already mapped out an entirely new path for Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda has seven layers, each containing a fixed support amplification skill. Therefore, when Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Soul Masters hunt Spirit Rings, they are usually not overly strict about the quality or age of the soul beasts."
"But that wastes the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda's innate advantages far too much."
"You are now a two-ring Soul Grandmaster and possess the two Soul Skills of strength and speed amplification. After absorbing your third Spirit Ring, you will unlock a Soul Power amplification skill. Choosing a specific soul beast can stimulate this trait to the greatest extent. Strength, speed, and Soul Power can all be bestowed upon yourself, allowing another transformation."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda naturally contains square and circle, forming its own array core. It can accommodate multiple attributes, and it is paired with the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart. If you cultivate an ultimate art related to the Eight Trigrams, the two will complement each other perfectly, and you may reach the pinnacle."
"However, no matter what method you cultivate, there is one thing you cannot do without."
Su Chen had said a great deal.
In truth, Ning Rongrong had barely understood any of it.
Although Ning Rongrong possessed Superlative Comprehension, it was only a black-grade Trait Entry. It could not compare with Su Chen's supreme Trait Entry.
She still needed time to adapt to such extraordinary cultivation concepts.
At that moment, she could only ask blankly,
"What is it?"
Su Chen replied, "Your foundational physical attributes. As a support-type Soul Master, you have never undergone basic physical training. Strengthening your body and raising the upper limit of the age of your third Spirit Ring is the most urgent matter."
As he spoke, Su Chen tapped Ning Rongrong on the head with a finger, snapping her out of it.
The moment Ning Rongrong heard that she still had to undergo physical training, she immediately became dejected.
"Ah, I still have to do physical training? I hate physical training the most."
"If you do not want to become an assault-type Soul Master, if you do not want to become the strongest Soul Master in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, if you are willing to be bullied by a pervert like Ma Hongjun for the rest of your life, then you do not have to train."
Upon hearing that, Ning Rongrong immediately perked up.
"Teacher, I'll train!"
"I can endure hardship!"
"I will become the miracle of Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Soul Masters!"
