A sacred sensation, utterly unlike a breakthrough in cultivation, welled up within Qin Hao.
If a breakthrough in cultivation meant growing stronger, then at this moment... Qin Hao felt his Divine Soul surging upward!
With a hum, everything suddenly became clear to him.
At the same time, the Little Sword Martial Soul trembled in his Consciousness Sea, releasing rays of Mystic Yellow Light!
There were ten rays!
"Mystic Tier Tenth Rank!"
"The Little Sword Martial Soul has broken through to Mystic Tier Tenth Rank!"
Qin Hao was both startled and delighted.
A Martial Soul was absolutely central to a Warrior's Cultivation.
Though the further Qin Hao progressed in his Cultivation, the more he felt that a Martial Soul did not define everything about a Warrior, there was no doubt that the higher its rank, the greater the Warrior's Cultivation achievements could be.
The simplest reason was this:
A Martial Soul's rank affected a Warrior's comprehension!
Yet the Little Sword Martial Soul had only risen from Mystic Tier Ninth Rank to Mystic Tier Tenth Rank.
Already, Qin Hao felt his thoughts clear. Questions that had once baffled him suddenly had answers.
That was the benefit of a higher-ranked Martial Soul!
His comprehension and potential had both grown stronger!
And yet!
The Martial Soul's ascent had not stopped.
"It's still rising!"
"Earth Grade First Rank!"
"Hiss! It went from Mystic Tier Tenth Rank to Earth Grade First Rank!"
"Earth Grade Second Rank..."
Qin Hao sensed its progress.
He had not released the Little Sword Martial Soul, so nothing about his appearance betrayed its ascent. But he could clearly feel the immense changes it brought.
Earth Grade Third Rank!
Earth Grade Fourth Rank!
Earth Grade Fifth Rank!
In the blink of an eye!
No more than a third of a breath
