Chapter Thirty-Four: Mysterious Martial Soul

  It turns out that the strange power overflowing from the acupuncture points can not only trigger the martial soul, but also make the martial soul grow across levels!

  The growth of martial soul is generally directly linked to the breakthrough of boundaries. Only by breaking through barriers and entering a new realm can the martial soul have the opportunity to grow.

  That is to say, Wu Soul wants to break through, it must be from acquired to innate, or from innate to human rank.

  From entering the First Heaven of Profound Origin to the Second Heaven, this small advancement cannot bring about a change in the Martial Soul.

  Only by breaking through from one boundary to another, during that brief moment of breakthrough, can the martial soul possibly gain enhancement or undergo a transformation.

  This is still not absolute!

  It's not that every time a warrior breaks through a boundary, their martial soul will immediately grow. Sometimes, the growth of the martial soul requires crossing two or even three boundaries!

  For example, Shi Yan's "Petri?ed Warrior Soul" can be divided into four stages of growth.

  A child of the Ishi family, if possessing "Petrification Martial Soul", within ten or so days after birth, while still an infant, their skin will present a greyish white color at some point, this is the first stage.

  If this young master of the Stone Family, diligently cultivates the martial way and is fortunate enough to break through to the Human Rank realm, then the "Stone Soul" will undergo a change once more, presenting itself in dark brown color, which is the second stage.

  If it can break through to the realm of position, then "Petrified Martial Soul" will change to yellow and green, which is the third stage.

  If there is a heaven-defying genius who can break through to the heavenly rank, the "Stone Petroglyph" will present a purple-red color, this is the fourth stage!

  The Shi family's "Petrification Martial Soul" is divided into four stages. Only after breaking through two boundaries will the martial soul undergo a qualitative change, suddenly strengthening once, and the muscle color will undergo tremendous changes.

  "Stone Petroglyph Warrior Soul" Every time it undergoes a transformation and enters a new stage, the physical body's defensive power doubles in strength!

  The first stage of "Petrified Martial Soul" can generally only withstand fist and foot strength, with a small amount of spiritual energy impact.

  But by the second stage, when the muscles turn dark brown, the body's defensive power can almost be doubled. Not only can it withstand more violent sperm collisions, but also general sharp blade chops!

  The third stage transforms into a yellow-green "Petrified Martial Soul", with defense power doubling again! It's almost invulnerable to swords and guns, and the body's agility not only doesn't decrease, but also increases greatly, extremely abnormal!

  By the fourth stage, after the body has petrified and turned a deep purple color, its defensive capabilities become truly terrifying. Not only can it withstand sword and spear attacks, but also water and fire invasions. It can even resist many strange and mysterious magical attacks. The physical body becomes incredibly powerful, and instead of becoming slower, it actually becomes more agile.

  These four stages are all obtained through breakthroughs as the boundary is elevated. If Shi Jiaerlang, who possesses "Petrification Martial Soul", is in the Postnatal or Prenatal realm, then his "Petrification Martial Soul" will forever be stuck at the first stage and will not break through to the Human King realm. The "Petrification Martial Soul" will absolutely not undergo any changes.

  On the continent of God's Grace, other types of martial souls are also the same. The vast majority can only be enhanced with the improvement of their realm, and only a very small number of divine-level elixirs can change the heavenly rules of special martial souls, allowing them to transcend levels and gain enhancement.

  This kind of elixir, on the continent of Shen En, also only exists in legend. The warriors of the Lihuo Empire, the Shenyu Empire and the Business Alliance have heard of such things, but no one has ever seen it with their own eyes.

  Even the three great medicine kings of the Lihuo Empire's Medicine King Valley were only spiritual-level alchemists, far from reaching the realm of refining divine-level elixirs.

  However, the strange power overflowing from Shi Yan's body seemed to have broken this rule!

  Those strange powers can not only stimulate the martial soul but also upgrade it beyond its current level!

  After his arm petrified, the dark brown color that appeared was something that only a master of the Stone Clan who had broken through to the Human King realm could possess.

  This is clearly the second stage of petrification!

  What does it mean to be able to trigger and enhance the mysterious power of martial soul?

  It means he doesn't even need to break through to the Heavenly Rank realm and has a chance to enter the fourth stage of petrification!

  Knives and guns cannot enter, water and fire cannot invade, the body will not only not become stiff, but also become more agile, enough to resist various strange and mysterious techniques, and can obtain fierce divine power...

  As soon as he thought of the miraculous breakthrough to the fourth stage of petrification, Shi Yan realized that he had picked up a treasure.

  This ability is obviously a kind of martial soul, which not only allows him to purify the dead's vital energy in his body meridians but also enables him to go berserk in battle and impose negative emotions on his enemies, mysterious and unpredictable.

  This mysterious martial soul can obtain vital energy from death, and after the transformation of the acupoints, it becomes a thriving and strange power that can induce martial soul, promote martial soul, and strengthen vital energy...

  His eyes were as black as stone, shining like a cold star in the night sky, radiant and dazzling.

  Sitting there quietly, he was silent, but knew that he had obtained this wonderful martial soul. As long as he was willing to work hard, he could become the most astonishing and terrifying existence on this magical continent!

  ……

  In a dark forest, in a bloody field littered with corpses, a group of people stood solemnly, observing something.

  "This is the Jackal Mercenary Group." Barnard walked among the corpses for a while, his expression solemn. "The leader of the Jackal Mercenary Group has the same cultivation as me, Hundred Calamities... looking at this, they have been completely annihilated."

  As soon as this was said, Mingyue Shi and Mo Zhao Ge both furrowed their brows.

  Mingyue hesitated for a moment, took out a silver horn, and blew it softly.

  The horn made no sound, but a strange vibration emanated from it and rippled outward.

  Before long, two men in silver shirts with masks emerged quietly from the forest. Their masks were green-faced and had sharp teeth, which was slightly different from the pale white masks worn by Mingyue and his group.

  "Dark messenger, what have you found?" Mingyue asked coldly.

  "Last night, the yao beasts ran amok, and many warriors and mercenaries were attacked by them. There are too many footprints left in the vicinity, making it difficult for us to distinguish which ones belong to our target." A dark and mysterious Darkstar Envoy said with a respectful expression.

  "The Dark Force" is divided into two factions: the Dark Messengers and the Netherworld Messengers. The Dark Messengers are responsible for tracking and gathering information, while the Netherworld Messengers are responsible for assassinations, with ranks divided by day, month, and star.

  Dark messengers and Underworld messengers have different divisions of labor, but their ranks are strict. A star-level Dark Star Messenger must obey a moon-level Underworld Moon Messenger.

  "Is it really that hard to find the target?" Mingyue was skilled at killing in battle, but not good at tracking. Upon hearing this, his eyes gradually darkened.

  "Sir, the scope is indeed too broad. There are too many warriors, mercenaries and demonic beasts lurking around here, making it very difficult to pursue. In the past few days, while we were tracking, we were ambushed by many mercenaries and another messenger was killed."

  The reputation of "Darkness" is not good, and the warriors and mercenaries who are active in this area are not afraid of trouble. Sometimes when they're in a bad mood, they might just see someone from "Darkness" and decide to attack and kill them.

  These two days, Mingyue led a group of people and didn't encounter fewer such incidents. After they joined forces with the Mo family's warriors, there were still those who dared to provoke them, but they didn't suffer greatly anyway.

  "Can't find the target, the demon beast has been restless again recently...this is troublesome..."

  Mo Chao Ge pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Our aimless search isn't a solution either. Why don't we go to You Ji Town instead? You Ji Town is the only way to Merchant Alliance, as long as they come out of You An Forest, they will definitely go to You Ji Town. We can wait for them on the road to You Ji Town."

  "It's a good idea." Barnard nodded, his eyes gleaming with killing intent. "As long as we go to the Merchant Alliance, we'll inevitably have to pass through Youji Town. Lying in wait is not a bad method."

  "Alright, we'll make our way through this area as quickly as possible and wait for them to appear on the road to Yu Jing Town." Ming Yue fell silent for a while, unable to think of a better plan, and could only agree with this approach.

  The three of them came to an agreement, and without further ado, they stopped wasting time searching for Shi Yan and the others in this area. They began to make their way through the dark forest, planning to lay in ambush along the route between the Dark Forest's border and the town of You Jing.

  ……

  For five consecutive days, Shi Yan and his two companions carefully moved in the dark forest, trying their best to avoid ferocious beasts and mercenary warriors.

  Once night falls, they immediately choose a hidden area to rest and dare not walk at night.

  Under their cautious approach, they traveled safely and avoided many high-level demonic beasts as well as human mercenaries and warriors, with incredibly good luck.

  These past few days, Shi Yan has been tirelessly cultivating at night, adapting to the second stage of petrification, allowing the "violent walk" transformation to gradually cover his entire body.

  Diya and Shiyan had been apart for many years, but after they reunited, every moment was a delight. They would often take the initiative to find each other, and the trees, bushes, and riverbanks became witnesses to their passionate encounters.

  Mù Yǔ Dié knew she couldn't stop them, so she turned a blind eye and occasionally muttered a few resentful complaints, secretly cursing the two of them for being utterly shameless.

  That night, Di Ya Lan and Shi Yan were under a big tree after their crazy fight, still meditating for not long when suddenly he jumped up and shouted: "I, I broke through!"

  Not far away, another ancient tree, Mu Yu butterfly poked her head out from the leaves, a look of surprise on her face, staring blankly at Diya Lan's disheveled clothes, covering her mouth in shock: "This, this... is this okay?"
