Chapter 103: Time to Awaken the Martial Soul!

Martial soul.
Wang Che knew that the power of this Lightning Roaring Tiger’s Lightning Strike was far beyond ordinary. It was definitely related to this person’s martial soul.
Under normal training, a green caterpillar’s Rumbling Tail Strike or Spit Thread would be far more powerful than its soul power cultivation base.
However, it was impossible to instantly defeat a soul pet that countered the green caterpillar unless its soul power cultivation was far superior.
The power of the Lightning Roaring Tiger’s Lightning Strike could even defeat a soul pet with the same soul power cultivation.
It was definitely abnormal.
There had to be another reason.
He thought of the thunderstorm today and how he was also a student and was at the stage of awakening his martial soul.
Wang Che thought that there had to be a connection.
“I didn’t expect the power of a martial soul to bring such a huge change to a soul pet.” Wang Che sighed.
He wondered what this He Zhenfeng’s martial soul was. It was actually capable of accumulating a certain amount of divine lightning for the Lightning Roaring Tiger.
Unfortunately, it also happened to encounter the current Magnetic Sword.
Otherwise, even if the green caterpillar were to withstand that Lightning Strike, it would probably be electrocuted into a black caterpillar.
Of course, if it was a green caterpillar, the Lightning Roaring Tiger would not even have a chance to attack.
This was the first time Wang Che had seen a martial soul being used on a soul pet.
It was just that this was his opponent.
“I admit defeat today.”
He Zhenfeng walked up to the Lightning Roaring Tiger, took out a box of medicine, and fed it.
In just a moment, the tiger recovered a little, and then it followed behind He Zhenfeng and slowly walked down the stage.
He Zhenfeng grinned, “Wang Che, you’re very strong. I believe we’ll still be able to meet in the Aviation Cup. You’re right, but my martial soul has yet to be fully awakened. I only dare to accumulate some heavenly lightning with the help of thunderstorms and equipment.”
“When my martial soul completely awakens, it won’t be that easy for you to defeat my Lightning Roaring Tiger next time.”
With that, He Zhenfeng and two men and women in combat clothes left First High under the moonlight.
“Next time…”
Wang Che shook his head. Even if he could accumulate a complete bolt of heavenly lightning, he did not have much chance of winning against the Magnetic Sword.
In fact, if the third-stage Lightning Roaring Tiger did not use its lightning-type soul skill, but used its body to fight, the Magnetic Sword would not be able to win.
After all, what was the difference in soul power cultivation?
It had only cultivated the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture once and the Magnetic Sword had just begun its training.
Unfortunately, He Zhenfeng did not know what the Magnetic Sword had gone through.
It was also very difficult to give up on the Lightning Roaring Tiger’s greatest offensive aspect.
“Martial soul…”
Wang Che closed his eyes.
Now, the Magnetic Sword’s situation was temporarily resolved.
Next, he had to sense his martial soul.
After cultivating the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture, both he and the Magnetic Sword needed to recuperate for a period of time.
He had to regain his energy.
Wang Che did not intend to teach the Magnetic Sword any soul skill at the moment.
It should increase its soul power cultivation first in preparation for the next cultivation session.
The soul skill was not urgent.
There was a complementary sword skill in the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture.
Moreover, every Magnetic Sword had a different origin, so the soul skill sequence was different.
Even those of the same species could learn different soul skills.
“F*ck, so it’s a martial soul… These Glory City students are indeed powerful.”
Yuan Xiaole walked onto the stage.
The knowledge of a martial soul had to be taught in detail in university.
Both middle and high schools taught basic subjects that provided knowledge for the nurturing of soul pets.
Of course, modern middle and high school students would be influenced and learn about the power of martial souls from various sources.
However, in terms of specific use, they were basically clueless.
“Oh right, Brother Che, you should be able to sense the form of your martial soul now, right?”
Yuan Xiaole asked, “I can roughly sense its shape, so I’m 80-90% confident that it’s the Hundred Refinements Staff. It’s inherited from my family bloodline.”
“When I graduate from high school, I should be able to awaken on my own and sense my martial soul.”
Yuan Xiaole was rather proud.
Martial souls were the power of humans.
The power one controlled themselves was more practical than anything else.
“Mine…?” Wang Che smiled, “Soon.”
With the end of the battle, many students left the school enthusiastically.
A Magnetic Sword could defeat a third-stage Lightning Roaring Tiger. The scene was magnificent.
He was also a genius student from the West Peak Continent’s city. This made the students of First High very proud.
However, there was less than three weeks until the graduation examination.
Many students quickly forgot about this and worked hard in the final moments.
Time passed like flowing water.
Three weeks passed in a flash…
Skyheart City’s soul pet base.
Professor Yan looked at the battle scene in the video and sighed.
“I didn’t expect Wang Che to really do it… Amazing. I hope this Magnetic Sword can grow healthily under his nurturing… Oh right, in two days, it’ll be their comprehensive test, right? Has there been any news from First High about that kid’s martial soul?”
“No, but Miss Xi’s martial soul has already awakened on its own.”
“Oh?”
“How’s the situation?”
“The martial soul’s form perception has reached 95%. If we calculate the score based on this year’s martial soul form, it’s 95 points. The score should be the highest in the West Peak Continent. As for the grade, it’s the Golden Mythical Equipment martial soul, Phoenix Feather. Its innate aptitude is Level 10. Its life contract has already reached the highest level, so the special training effect is obvious.”
There were several grades of martial souls. According to the modern classification of martial souls, there were seven grades.
Ordinary, Outstanding, Superb, Legacy, Mythical, Heavenly Fate, and Supreme.
The grade of the martial soul determined the strength of the martial soul.
The higher the grade, the stronger the strength.
The innate grade was fixed, but there were ways to increase or elevate it.
The form of a martial soul was only divided into the equipment martial soul and the spirit martial soul.
Equipment were artifacts. Spirits were creatures.
Artifacts covered everything that humans knew. They ranged from ordinary screws to precise soul devices to more powerful modern firearms.
Creatures included all the living beings in the world today. From ordinary ants, powerful soul pets, and humanoid martial souls, they were all possible.
Thus, a martial soul could be said to be ever-changing.
However, for most martial souls, the most important thing was not the grade but the form. This was because the form was related to the use of the martial soul.
As long as the martial soul was useful, it could be used regardless of how weak it was.
Innate aptitude of Level 10 meant that the martial soul’s cultivation speed was ten times faster than normal.
Its aptitude could be said to be extremely high.
“The family inheritance… as well as hard work… made Miss Xi so outstanding…”
Professor Yan sighed, “This year, our West Peak Continent can produce a few geniuses who will shine on the world stage in the future…”
Beside Professor Yan, Li Yanming looked at the distant mountain range.
It was the direction of the Floating Forest.
“There are only two months left…” Li Yanming’s voice was bleak.
——
In the distant Glory Capital.
Blinding purple and blue lights shot into the sky.
Every year at this time, the people of Glory Capital would watch with mixed emotions.
They knew that it was the light emitted by this batch of third-year students when they sensed their martial souls.
Blue represented a Superb grade martial soul, while purple represented the Legacy grade martial soul.
In other cities, purple was rare.
However, in Glory Capital, although purple martial souls were rare, there were still some every year.
Only golden was the rarest.
This was because it was a martial soul of the Golden Mythical grade.
The legend was that it was a powerful martial soul that had shone brightly in ancient times.
When the martial soul was sensed by the student at more than 70% completion, the martial soul phantom would appear and release powerful energy fluctuations.
Different energy fluctuations flickered with intense light and slowly settled down.
At that instant, a golden light flickered from a certain location in Glory Capital.
“A Mythical martial soul! This year’s Glory City finally has a Mythical martial soul!”
“I wonder who it is…”
“Damn, it’s from our city!”
“Mythical… Even West Peak Continent rarely has one or two… This is a future Heavenly King!”
“…”
In a villa in Glory City.
A handsome and slightly demonic-looking young man was shimmering with golden light.
Beside him was a Magpie Immortal Dragon that had completed its second stage evolution. It floated elegantly beside the young man.
A golden cloud shrouded the young man’s head.
This made the young man feel like he was in a fairyland.
At this moment, the young man muttered, “Wang Che, Wang Batian… What on earth did you do in the Floating Forest…”
——
West Peak Continent, on an ancient mountain at the border.
Lin Xi stood at the top of the mountain and bathed in the morning light. The gentle morning light scattered on her face, making her look like a fairy from heaven.
The Cloud Cap Snake beside her had already completed its second stage evolution and became a Feathered Spirit Snake.
It was as tall as Lin Xi and its body looked even more beautiful. The white wings beside its ears grew even longer, like two small wings. There was a hint of cuteness in its elegance.
“Student Lin, tomorrow is your school’s graduation examination. Are you going back?” A questioning voice came from below.
Lin Xi opened her palm and a beautiful red and green feather floated clearly in it.
It emitted an intense and vigorous power.
Lin Xi stared at the feather and nodded slightly, “Of course, I have to go back.”
——
Skyheart City.
At home, Wang Che sat on the ground.
After three weeks of recuperation, the weakened vitality brought about by the cultivation of the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture had completely disappeared.
Not only was his body extremely powerful, but his vital energy had also reached a high level.
In the past three weeks, Wang Che had been steadily nurturing both the green caterpillar and the Magnetic Sword.
He did not teach any other soul skills.
The green caterpillar mainly consolidated the many soul skills it had learned.
The Magnetic Sword, on the other hand, continued to stabilize the mechanical energy in its body, allowing it to experience the Heavenly Lightning Sword Force and adapt to the strength of its body.
The 120-year soul power cultivation base that the Magnetic Sword had before meeting him was very superficial.
The green caterpillar was different because it was nurtured by Wang Che personally from the start and had a solid foundation.
For the Magnetic Sword to cultivate the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture at once, the increase was huge. It had an unstable foundation. It was very likely for problems to arise in the future without rectifying this problem.
The most important thing to do now was…
“The Soul Cultivation Chapter has successfully entered the first level a few days ago. My divine sense has transformed into a firefly-like state.”
In the cultivation world, it would be quite difficult to cultivate the Soul Cultivation Chapter to the first level.
Without luck, it would not be able to reach the first level in decades or even a hundred years.
With the opportunity, he could successfully cultivate in a few months or years.
Wang Che had some experiences in the Floating Forest and obtained a considerable opportunity. He entered the first level in less than half a year.
It was really not easy.
Divine sense was a type of powerful mental strength.
In the cultivation world, it was impossible to cultivate divine sense without the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It was even harder to improve.
Wang Che had just cultivated his divine sense to the first level, but it was still the Soul Cultivation Chapter after all.
His soul was very stable, like a rock, and his divine sense was highly condensed.
Extending his divine sense, he could sense the faint changes dozens of meters around him.
His reaction to soul pets was even more detailed.
At the same time, with divine sense, he could look inside himself.
He could sense the martial soul completely.
Wang Che was highly focused. The moon was shining today.
Having stabilized his foundation after entering the first level, it was time to sense his martial soul.
“In the past few days, there have been many special energy fluctuations in Skyheart City that emitted a strange glow… It should be the other students whose martial souls awakened on their own… The grade of their martial souls is mostly not high… I wonder what my martial soul is…”
“No matter what, I’ve been in this world for 18 years. My memories have only been awakened for less than five months… I’m finally going to start cultivating…”
Wang Che was filled with emotions.
At this moment, no one in the entire world could understand his emotions.
He was a peerless genius who had endured the Heavenly Tribulation for countless years, exhausted endless artifacts, destroyed countless Small Worlds, and persisted until the last moment when he was completely exerted.
After failing on the path to immortality, now, his ambition was to once again step onto the mysterious and ancient path to immortality!
Wang Che calmed his mind and sensed his soul. His divine sense turned corporeal like a broom and swept away the haziness in the depths of his soul.
“It’s time to awaken my martial soul!”
In an instant, light appeared and shot into the sky…
