Even if he could block it, his body would still be injured. Their physiques were on entirely different levels.
Although Jiang Hai had relied on his martial soul to fuse with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, his own physique had also been extraordinarily powerful.
After he inscribed the Life-Bound Soul Tool Array, Jiang Hai's physique reached an entirely new level. Nourished by his blood and vital energy, his body grew stronger every day.
Sword Douluo Li Qingfeng's attacks were unmatched beneath the heavens, but his physique was merely ordinary. The Clear Wind Sword offered no physical enhancement whatsoever. How could it compare to the Dragon Emperor Douluo's darkness sacred dragon martial soul?
Dragons themselves were synonymous with physical might.
Yet in the battle between Long Xiaoyao and Li Qingfeng, Long Xiaoyao had been at a disadvantage in physical strength. This alone showed just how frighteningly a Lifebound Soul Tool could enhance a soul master's physique.
"Yuhao, our spiritual power is a form of strength, but isn't a soul master's own physical strength another powerful force? It's simply as difficult to improve as spiritual power. Only certain martial souls, such as that Wang Qiu'er's golden dragon martial soul, can strengthen one's blood and vital energy. Tempering through soul power and soul rings can also improve physical strength, but the difference between that and soul masters who specialize in the body is still as vast as heaven and earth."
"It's just like our spiritual power. Do other soul masters have no spiritual power at all? They do; theirs simply isn't as strong as ours. Moreover, without specific martial souls and soul skills, they can't make use of that power at all. Physical strength is the same. In fact, martial souls with this strength attribute are even rarer than spiritual-type martial souls.
