—------------------—
Since his first life, Chen Ming realized the foundation of a soul master - the soul ring.
Through spirit rings, spirit masters can directly master skills that other systems require long-term accumulation, diligent study and hard practice to master.
Even many conceptual-level soul skills can be directly controlled.
Soul rings are the foundation of a soul master.
As for the so-called self-created soul skills, Chen Ming has no objection, but in his opinion, self-created soul skills should not be separated from one's own soul skills.
Your own soul skills are the foundation.
However, the self-created soul skills derived from one's own soul skills are the ones that truly have unlimited potential.
You can even develop your own soul skills and even upgrade your soul rings.
This was something Chen Ming successfully achieved in his second life, and the foundation for all this was his soul martial spirit.
In every life after that, he perfected his secret technique of improving spirit rings. After experiencing two divine-bestowed spirit rings, he figured out the key and developed this method of filling spirit rings.
Use the soul to carry the real soul ring structure, and then absorb the power of the normal soul ring to fill it, so as to obtain the real soul ring.
After that, Chen Ming only needed to add his new understanding to this initial structure little by little to achieve the acquired improvement of the soul ring.
After condensing the quasi-soul ring into shape, Chen Ming continued to meditate and cultivate his soul power.
Even if the improvement is minimal, it cannot be ignored. Every bit of progress at the limit of practice is polishing soul power, and the relationship between soul power and martial soul will become closer and closer.
This degree of closeness is similar to the degree of fit in martial soul fusion skills. The closer the connection, the different the effects of the soul skills performed with the same soul power. Combined with the development of one's own soul skills, the effects of the soul skills can be truly maximized.
There are many ways to increase this connection. In addition to persistent practice, you also need to deeply understand the characteristics of the martial soul, including mimicry practice.
Before leaving, Chen Dong took Chen Ming to help a few close friends awaken their martial spirits for free, then said goodbye to his acquaintances and embarked on a new journey.
Ten days later.
"The Mad Blade City is almost here."
Chen Dong wiped the sweat from his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
He had a large iron knife on his back, which he had borrowed from Chen Ming. He carried the heavy iron knife on his back all the way.
What he said was that he was making up for the practice he had missed in the past twenty years.
"Remember to demonstrate the moves I taught you when the time comes, so that the Wild Blade Sect will accept you as a spirit master who doesn't have a sword spirit. But don't worry, if I can enter the Mad Blade Sect, I can also speak for you."
Chen Ming remained silent.
He had no objection to joining a sect or anything like that.
There is no other way. It is unrealistic for a level ten soul master to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings.
As for spending money to hire someone, that would be a waste of time, and it would be difficult to get the spirit ring you want.
It is safer to join a sect.
Chen Ming had some knowledge of the details of the Mad Blade Sect from Chen Dong. He knew that this sect had a Soul Saint in charge and had a good reputation.
It was quite far from Wangyue Village, and the two of them traveled day and night, but it took them ten days to see the shadow of Mad Blade City.
Once you enter the city, you don't need to ask for directions.
Because you can see a huge long sword sculpture from afar at the city gate.
Where the sculpture is located is where the Mad Blade Sect is located.
"Little brother, we are here to join the sect."
Chen Dong arrived at the Mad Blade Sect's main gate and found a young man wearing luxurious clothing with sword patterns on it. He stuffed a silver soul coin into his pocket.
The young man was stunned for a moment, hesitantly put the silver soul coin into the storage soul guide, and looked at Chen Dong and Chen Ming.
"Do you want to join our Mad Blade Sect?" the young man asked Chen Ming.
Chen Dong touched his nose awkwardly and pointed at himself.
"I'm signing up, too."
"you?"
The young man looked Chen Dong up and down with an expression that said, "Brother, don't be so ridiculous."
At such an old age, the sect will let you join? Unlike the academy, the sect is extremely particular about the sense of belonging.
Putting aside your clean background, at least you cannot have too mature social experience, otherwise it will be difficult to develop a sense of belonging.
Chen Dong took out another Silver soul coin and stuffed it into the young man's hand.
Although the young man was familiar with it this time, he did not accept it immediately. He hesitated and said to Chen Dong: "Brother, you are a bit old. Even if I take you to take the test, it will be difficult for you to pass."
"It's okay, little brother, just show us the way."
Chen Dong is somewhat confident.
Along the way, he finally realized that he was born with full soul power.
Yuan Liu then accepted the Silver Soul Coin and said to the two of them, "Come with me."
On the way, Yuan Liu was also understanding the situation of the two.
"We have all just awakened our martial spirits." Chen Dong had just said halfway when Yuan Liu looked at him in surprise.
But he did not ask.
He knew that for some people, awakening their martial spirits was a luxury.
"Now both of us have level 10 soul power."
Hmm? Yuan Liu's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance.
"You all have level 10 soul power?"
"That's right."
"How long has it been since you awakened your soul power?"
"Thirteen days?"
Yuan Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded.
"It seems that both of you have good talents. By the way, can you please reveal your martial spirit?"
"My martial soul is the broadsword, named Wolf Lord, and Xiao Ming's martial soul is the body."
Own Body?
Yuan Liu was surprised again.
He stopped and turned to look at the two men.
"Are you the original martial spirit?"
"yes."
Yuan Liu thought for a moment, changed direction, and took the two of them to another direction.
"I'll take you to see my teacher."
Chen Dong wanted to say something, but seeing Yuan Liu had already walked ten meters away, he shut his mouth and pulled Chen Ming to follow him.
Yuan Liu brought the two of them to the depths of the Mad Blade Sect.
On the way, there were all kinds of Mad Blade Sect soul masters wearing clothes with sword patterns. They were very respectful when they saw Yuan Liu.
Finally, after passing through a busy road, we entered a secluded area and a small courtyard came into view.
There was a bloody red light flickering in the courtyard, and heart-pounding waves were spreading from it.
Chen Ming looked surprised.
Such strong qi and blood.
This couldn't be... When Chen Ming entered the courtyard, he saw a middle-aged man with bare arms regulating his breathing, as if he had just finished practicing.
The middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Liu.
"who are they?"
"Teacher, the two of them are here to join the sect."
Yuan Liu did not delay and reported everything: "This Chen Ming is six years old this year, and he is the original body martial spirit."
The middle-aged man had a sharp look on his face.
The next moment, he seemed to turn into a shadow and came in front of Chen Ming.
Chen Ming's perception captured the man's trajectory. He could of course dodge, but there was no need.
He let the middle-aged man grab and pinch his arm.
Facing the middle-aged man, Chen Ming could basically confirm that this man also had a body spirit, and might be a disciple of the Body Sect. It was just a bit strange for someone from the Body Sect to appear in the Mad Blade Sect.
"Which specific part of your martial spirit is it?"
"It's the main body. My whole body."
"Teacher, he has innate full soul power." Yuan Liu added from the side.
The middle-aged man's expression was very exaggerated.
He stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "I need to check your condition."
After getting Chen Ming's consent, he injected his soul power into Chen Ming's body and moved it around.
The soul power entered the body and checked it. Lei Zhen's eyes flashed with a captivating light and his blood and energy began to fluctuate, as if a thunder exploded in his heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"good!"
"The Mad Blade Sect has accepted you, but you cannot become my disciple. You will have to practice with me for the time being."
After Lei Zhen finished speaking to Chen Ming, he looked at Chen Dong.
"Although you awakened your martial spirit late, since you are traveling with this kid, you should stay."
Chen Dong looked confused.
Why do I feel like something is wrong?
