Chapter 269: Characteristics of the True Martial Spirit

"Welcome to the Life and Death Arena."

Hearing this voice again, Su Wen felt a sense of familiarity.

In the vast platform space, Su Wen was in one corner, while the Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark was in another corner.

Back in his childhood, even Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark still relied on the ocean environment, so the lack of water on the platform made it quite uncomfortable.

Seeing the Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark's reaction, Su Wen couldn't help but smirk.

It seemed that Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark might not be able to continue without Su Wen's intervention.

What relieved him was that, despite being in a very poor state, the Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark quickly stabilized.

Originally perilous situation, after absorbing a certain amount of heaven and earth energy, Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark gained some Soul Power and then used this Soul Power to create a small puddle of water.

Seeing this, Su Wen showed an expression of surprise.

"Mastering the Power of Devour at such a young age? It can't be a natural mutation, can it?"

Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark evolved from Megalodon, but most mutations are invisible and the Power of Devour only manifests after becoming a spirit beast for a hundred or even a thousand years. Before that, they are considered weak among their kind.

It was unexpected that this Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark had mastered the Power of Devour at such a young age.

"It seems you have your reasons for your great ambition."

Among all Bloodthirsty Crazy Sharks, this one was also among the top.

After stabilizing, Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark showed Su Wen a fierce expression. However, at only one meter long and without any accumulated killing intent, its appearance was not fierce at all; rather, it looked quite cute.

Su Wen communicated with the Martial Spirit Space and awakened his Martial Spirit once again.

At this moment, he was completely absorbed in a state of enlightenment.

Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark was furious upon seeing this.

Daring to ignore me!

Although initially startled by being pulled into this unknown space, Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark quickly analyzed the situation. With both sides returning to their juvenile forms, he was confident of his chances and naturally retained his previous disdain for Su Wen.

However, Su Wen ignored him.

This was something Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark could not tolerate.

He opened his enormous mouth, and heaven and earth energy was swallowed by a force, bound within his mouth, and under the guidance of Soul Power, transformed into a stream of water that was expelled.

Even in his juvenile form, Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark could still manipulate heaven and earth energy using the Power of Devour.

Su Wen was deeply engaged in understanding the changes brought by the Martial Spirit awakening, but he did not completely ignore the Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark.

To fully visualize the changes brought by the Martial Spirit awakening, this awakening was occurring simultaneously with the opening of the Sea of Consciousness.

A gust of air erupted from beneath Su Wen's feet, allowing him to evade the water column.

Su Wen's body began to emit a special glow.

The Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark let out a cry, feeling very alert.

Just now, did this human undergo a Martial Spirit awakening?

"Indeed, my sensation of the Martial Spirit awakening is still lacking a bit."

Although Su Wen had experienced the Martial Spirit awakening process several times before, his visualizations were not comprehensive and lacked a solid foundation, so he could not fully replicate it.

Now, with the assistance of the Sea God's light, after three days of contemplation and occasional refinement of his Martial Spirit awakening theory on the sea, he had finally managed to perfectly replicate some of the sensations of the awakening.

However, replicating the sensation was only a technical achievement; it seemed that his physical hardware was still insufficient.

"Power of Vitality."

Su Wen felt that his body should be able to awaken, but if he did so like this, it might result in a low Innate Soul Power, leading to insufficient strength for his true Martial Spirit.

"After going out this time, I need to quickly cultivate the Power of Vitality and ideally refine my body to an extremely high level. This way, when I awaken my true Martial Spirit, it might directly reach a level comparable to a secondary awakening."

The true Martial Spirit is distinctly different from other Martial Spirits, primarily in its quality.

In Su Wen's understanding, the essence of the true Martial Spirit is the Spirit Master's body. As cultivation progresses and Soul Power increases, even without physical training, the quality of the true Martial Spirit will improve.

However, the recently awakened true Martial Spirit, due to the weak six-year-old body, will have a lower quality, resulting in very low Innate Soul Power.

If the true body can be trained to be strong enough before the awakening, the quality of the true Martial Spirit at the moment of awakening might reach a very high level, potentially eliminating the need for a so-called secondary awakening.

However, whether a secondary awakening is still possible can only be determined after Su Wen himself experiences the awakening of his true Martial Spirit.

"Before that, let me study your Power of Devour first."

Su Wen interrupted the awakening process, his body stopped glowing, and he directed his gaze towards the enraged Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark.

The Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark was furious.

From the beginning, Su Wen had thought that the mighty Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark, who had embarked on the path of ferocious beasts, could be easily dealt with!

The bloodthirsty nature hidden deep within his soul was stirred. He bared his teeth, and a sinister aura began to emerge.

Su Wen frowned.

The performance of this Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark was completely different from the opponents he had faced before.

Especially compared to the Dark Devilgod Tiger.

Although both Spirit Beasts possessed devouring abilities, there seemed to be a difference between them.

The Dark Devilgod Tiger's devouring ability was instinctual, allowing it to consume Spirit Beasts to enhance its cultivation. On the other hand, the Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark's devouring ability seemed more oriented towards devouring energy.

No, more accurately, devouring was just a manifestation. At its core, it also developed some control abilities related to energy.

With the Power of Devour and accumulated experience, this Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark was still able to exhibit a certain level of combat strength even after arriving in the Life and Death Arena.

"Too bad, you're facing me."

Su Wen's Visualized World had become very solid. After comprehending how Conceptual Design affects heaven and earth energy, the Visualized World had also become an important part of his combat power.

Although his Soul Power was depleted, he could purely influence the external world using Conceptual Design.

In any case, the Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark's abilities were ultimately negated and unusable, but Su Wen was different.

Knowledge is power.

All of Su Wen's abilities were recorded by his Visualized World. Even though his Martial Spirit and Soul Power were gone, his Visualized World remained. This was his achievement in cultivation.

Conceptual Design emerged, and the domain unfolded.

The World in a Book!

Without using Soul Power, Su Wen simply mixed various Conceptual Designs from the Visualized World to influence the surrounding environment and manifested his domain.

The Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark's blood-red eyes had their deep red pupils violently constrict.

He sensed a crisis.

A life-and-death crisis.

Roar!

Boom!

A small mountain, or more precisely, a page from a book, fell onto the Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark, pinning him firmly in place and leaving him with no ability to resist.

Su Wen approached, fully extending his Spiritual Power to sense the various changes in the Bloodthirsty Crazy Shark's Power of Devour.
