Chapter 35: Modification Of The Martial Spirit
The Pioneer Squad was not in a hurry to travel, but proceeded slowly along the way, fully experiencing the local customs and culture.
Although the burden weighing on her head was gone, Zhu Zhuqing had already grown accustomed to hard work, and even while traveling, she did not forget to seize opportunities to train her body and meditate on Soul Power.
Her diligent appearance involuntarily stirred a trace of shame in the hearts of Meng Huaifeng and March 7th, the two lazy dogs, who could only choose… not to look at Zhu Zhuqing.
As long as I don’t see others working hard, I won’t feel any pressure!
Little sister, if you keep grinding like this, you’ll lose us!
Although they tried their best not to look at Zhu Zhuqing, completely ignoring her was impossible.
Today, Meng Huaifeng unusually practiced the Yunqi Spear Technique a few extra times, and March 7th also rarely practiced her archery.
Pathfinders do not need meditation and cultivation behind closed doors; what they need is practice and action, so their training mainly focuses on honing their bodies and techniques.
Night fell, and the Pioneer Squad stayed in the nearest town.
After dinner, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dan Heng with expectant eyes, her hesitant expression making Dan Heng feel uncomfortable all over.
“Alright, summon your Martial Spirit. I’ll check it first.” Dan Heng said helplessly. This girl’s desire to become stronger was terrifyingly strong.
Zhu Zhuqing immediately activated Martial Spirit Possession. Two Soul Rings rose from her body, a pair of cute cat ears grew on her head, sharp claw-like cat claws appeared on her hands, her eyes changed color at the same time—left eye ink green, right eye clear blue—and her long hair naturally draped over her back.
“So cute.” March 7th’s eyes sparkled as she reached out and rubbed them directly.
Zhu Zhuqing shyly resisted a few times, but her resistance was ineffective, and she soon fell into the hands of the Great Demon King March 7th.
Dan Heng probed Imaginary Energy into Zhu Zhuqing’s body, sensing the differences in her Martial Spirit.
“Perhaps because no Imaginary Energy was involved when your Martial Spirit formed, its essence is much weaker in intensity than our Martial Spirits at the same stage. Moreover, the Martial Spirit energy and Soul Ring energy are clearly distinct, not from the same Origin, and the Soul Ring energy has been silently eroding your Martial Spirit. This erosion has little effect on your Martial Spirit now, probably because it has already adapted.”
“This situation has both advantages and disadvantages. When the source essence of your Soul Ring energy surpasses your Martial Spirit, your Martial Spirit will be influenced and undergo corresponding changes, becoming stronger. If it’s weaker, it will become weaker. It can also bring Soul Skills outside your Martial Spirit’s Origin, but they may not be the most compatible with your Martial Spirit.”
Their four people’s Soul Skills were naturally generated Soul Skills under the enhancement of their own energy, perfectly compatible with their Martial Spirits’ characteristics.
“After all, it’s foreign energy with too many variables. One misstep, and your Martial Spirit could be destroyed—it’s a huge hidden danger. If you can truly control the alien energy in the Soul Ring, your strength would surely improve greatly. Can you do it?” Dan Heng asked.
There were many stories circulating on the continent about Spirit Masters who absorbed Soul Rings unsuitable for their Martial Spirits and then made no further progress.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head awkwardly. As soon as her energy entered the Soul Ring, the energy in the Soul Ring would automatically circulate and release the Soul Skill. She could barely stop the Soul Skill’s operation, but controlling or altering it was impossible.
Perhaps only after becoming a God, relying on powerful divine sense and Divine Power, could she thoroughly refine the alien energy in the Soul Ring.
Can’t do it? That was somewhat expected. Dan Heng frowned slightly and thought of other ways to improve her strength.
“The gods in this world can directly grant Soul Rings to others, even change others’ Martial Spirits. I think you can try it; you should be able to do it too.” Meng Huaifeng suggested.
Dan Heng’s eyes lit up: “I’ll give it a try.”
Dan Heng began a new attempt. Soon, he frowned slightly and said, “I can expel the energy in her Soul Ring and replace it with my Imaginary Energy, enhancing the Soul Skill’s effect. However, she still can’t control this energy. As for the Martial Spirit, I can’t change it arbitrarily; I can only transform it into one imbued with my power’s characteristics, like my own form or a degraded version of the Azure Dragon, or directly enhance her current Martial Spirit.”
The reason Welt could freely fabricate Martial Spirits was due to his Law of Reason ability; others simply couldn’t do it.
“Then can it make her strength stronger?” Meng Huaifeng asked.
“It will become stronger, but not by much. The main benefit is that after Martial Spirit enhancement, her future cultivation speed will increase somewhat.” Dan Heng said.
“That’s enough. There’s no such thing as overnight success in the world. If there were, I’d worry about an unstable Foundation affecting my future growth.” Zhu Zhuqing said contentedly.
“Huai Feng is an overnight success.” March 7th said.
“I’ve said I’m different. Can ordinary people Travel across two worlds in a row? I deserve my overnight success.” Meng Huaifeng proudly puffed out his chest and said smugly.
In the Universe, there are no shortage of Strong Persons who, upon stepping onto a Destiny, can destroy heavens and earth, but that’s also because they had accumulated enough before stepping onto the Destiny.
“Then there are legends of some people directly turning from ordinary people into Envoys. Isn’t that overnight success?” March 7th said somewhat unconvinced. Indeed, such things existed, especially among the Envoy of Joy and Envoy of Abundance.
“Come on then, please invite Miss March 7th to have an Aeon descend and make her an Envoy.” Meng Huaifeng teased.
“And have the Aeon glance at me too.” Xing chimed in.
March 7th’s face turned red, and she flew into a rage: “This lady will elbow you two to death!”
Dan Heng shook his head speechlessly. Here they go again. Ignoring these three, he said to Zhu Zhuqing, “So which Martial Spirit enhancement method do you choose? The final Martial Spirit intensity should be about the same.”
“Just directly enhance my Underworld Spirit Cat Martial Spirit.” Zhu Zhuqing said without much hesitation.
It was well known that in a team, members should ideally complement each other to reduce overlapping roles.
If she chose to modify her Martial Spirit, she’d at best be a mini Dan Heng, far inferior to the original, making her role in the team dispensable and greatly reducing the probability of her joining them.
So, it was better to enhance her original Martial Spirit, filling a gap in the team and always being useful.
Zhu Zhuqing thought deeply and saw clearly; one could only say that disasters temper people and promote growth.
Unlike Meng Huaifeng, March 7th, and Xing, who still carried a bit of the pure foolishness of university students.
“Alright then, I’ll enhance your Martial Spirit first.” Dan Heng controlled Imaginary Energy to surge into the core of Zhu Zhuqing’s Martial Spirit.
The Martial Spirit’s core is jointly formed by unknown Rules, Soul, and Soul Power. Dan Heng slowly infused Imaginary Energy into the Soul Power part of the Martial Spirit core, replacing the Soul Power with Imaginary Energy.
Dan Heng’s Dragon Lord Power had been supplemented, and his true strength was much stronger than this world’s God Kings. Enhancing a Martial Spirit was effortless, and it was quickly completed.
