Chapter 271: Awakening The Body Martial Spirit!

Su Wen made a decision.

He wanted to awaken.

Dragging it out wasn't his style.

"My Soul Power cultivation speed is already somewhat insufficient; I've only advanced three levels in a year."

Su Wen remembered that a year ago, when he had just turned seventeen, he had just completed the opening of the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge within the Heaven Dou Empire and was preparing to head to the Star Luo Empire.

At that time, his Soul Power had reached level 64.

However, a year has passed, and now, having just turned eighteen, he's only at level 67.

Although there were reasons for suppressing his level and the need to condense his Spirit Core before reaching level 70, gaining only three levels in a year was truly unacceptable for Su Wen.

"I'm still over thirty levels away from reaching level 100. Does that mean it will take at least ten years to get there?"

"Now it's three levels in a year, but later it could be two levels in a year, or even just one level a year, or worse, taking two years to gain a single level."

This was something Su Wen could tolerate.

Therefore, he felt it necessary to find the corresponding theories for cultivating in the Spirit Saint and higher realms.

He needed to find a way to quickly cultivate his Soul Power.

...

Sea God Island.

Forbidden Area.

Eighty-first step of the Light of Sea God.

Su Wen sat cross-legged on this level of the staircase, completely still, without even a hint of strain on his face.

This was clearly an area where other Spirit Masters couldn't reach even with all their strength, yet he could sit here directly and cultivate.

Su Wen admitted that he used Soul Power and Spiritual Power as assistance, but it was only to help himself resist the pressure, trying not to affect the stimulating effect of the Light of Sea God on his physical body.

This was the area with the greatest stimulation and the highest cost-effectiveness.

However, he couldn't completely rely on his physical body to stand firm here, so he had to use Soul Power and Spiritual Power for support.

There was no shame in that.

"My current physical strength, after awakening the Body Martial Spirit, should be at least comparable to a Martial Spirit with innate Soul Power at level seven."

Su Wen's body was already strong enough. Because of the need to leap-level absorption of a Spirit Ring, he had never neglected his physical training and had constantly used various methods to temper his body.

When cultivating the Body Martial Spirit to a high level, its quality would naturally improve, but Su Wen's current Soul Power was all cultivated based on the Heavenly Book Martial Spirit, so the improvement to the foundation of the Body Martial Spirit was only in the aspect of body tempering.

The Body Martial Spirit is ultimately still a Martial Spirit and doesn't fully correspond to the body itself. Its potential and quality are not entirely equivalent to its strength.

For example, even with the same Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Spirit, there can be differences in quality.

Most Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Masters have a Martial Spirit quality corresponding to an Innate Soul Power level of only six or seven.

A large proportion are even at level five.

Su Wen's Body Martial Spirit awakening at a level seven standard already places him among the top-tier Martial Spirits.

Of course, all of this is Su Wen's estimation.

The pale golden halo that enveloped him couldn't conceal the radiance emanating from Su Wen's body.

His body began to glow.

The faint white misty light was initially weak but quickly grew stronger.

The light emanating from Su Wen's body also caught the attention of Hai Da and the others.

It wasn't just the visual impact of the light; Su Wen was also emitting a wave of energy, a type of energy different from Soul Power.

The white light began to change, tinged with a hint of blood-red, and within the pale red light, various other colors flickered, including green, red, yellow, and blue. There were also silver starlight-like sparkles interspersed among them.

"Is this the awakening of the Body Martial Spirit?" Hai Da and the others watched this scene excitedly.

Su Wen hadn't hidden the content of his second trial, so Hai Da and the others knew what he was doing.

What Su Wen was doing was clearly something that could change the entire Spirit Master world.

Twin Martial Spirits!

In the past, there might have been only a few cases in several centuries, but if Su Wen succeeded this time, it could potentially lead to the mass production of Twin Martial Spirit Masters.

Perhaps there are drawbacks to cultivating Twin Martial Spirits.

However, these drawbacks only used to frighten the Spirit Masters of the Spirit Master world.

Now, these so-called drawbacks and dangers are merely areas that haven't been theoretically analyzed or explored by scholars.

If the dangers of cultivating Twin Martial Spirits were now explained to the Spirit Masters, and they were told that this was the crisis they faced, they wouldn't be afraid. Instead, they would place great trust in Su Wen, believing that he would lead them in overcoming this issue and significantly lowering the threshold for cultivating Twin Martial Spirits!

This is the level of influence Su Wen now holds in the Spirit Master world.

Without any foundation, how could the Sea God possibly bestow the God-level Nine Trials directly?

After all, the God-level Nine Trials correspond to the Divine Test. Although both are guiding assessments with rewards, the consumption involved is no less than finding a successor through the Divine Test.

If Su Wen didn't show such potential and promise, the Sea God would not be willing to do this. Instead, he would choose to bestow the Divine Test and pass on the Sea God's God Position to Su Wen, even if it meant forcing the inheritance, rather than giving the God-level Nine Trials.

Su Wen also felt the changes within himself.

He was surprised.

This was beyond his expectations.

"The Body Martial Spirit also has attributes."

On closer thought, it made sense. If a Spirit Master's body inherently has attributes, then the Body Martial Spirit would naturally possess those attributes as well.

And Su Wen had quite a few attributes himself, including water, fire, wind, and earth elements, as well as space and star attributes, all of which he had an affinity for.

So, as his Body Martial Spirit awakened, the heaven and earth energy around him began to change, guided by these attributes, forming various elemental light effects.

The light was so dazzling that it overshadowed the pale golden Light of Sea God, and Su Wen, in a moment of clarity, sensed the transformation within himself.

At that moment, he became different.

"My physical body has become a Martial Spirit."

The feeling of being a Martial Spirit made Su Wen certain that he had succeeded.

However, some unexpected issues arose.

"It seems I don't have any Spirit Ring slots."

Su Wen couldn't sense the Spirit Ring slots for his Body Martial Spirit, which should have been available.

Logically, having cultivated to level 67, his Body Martial Spirit should be able to directly attach six Spirit Rings after awakening.

But now, it seemed that he couldn't attach any.

"As expected, something went wrong."

A message in his mind confirmed that the trial was completed successfully, but his Body Martial Spirit had some flaws.

However, it wasn't a major problem.

He decided to claim his reward first.

"God-level Nine Trials, Second Trial completed. Reward: Divine Power Body Tempering!"

On Sea God Island, the seven Holy Pillars shot out beams of light, and the seven light pillars resonated with each other.

Su Wen could sense that at the moment the seven Holy Pillars erupted, a large amount of the Power of Faith was being converted.

His gaze flickered.

Divine Power Body Tempering would inevitably require divine power.

Since it was a reward that could be granted during the trial, it made sense that the Sea God could summon Su Wen to the Divine Realm and bestow divine power for the body tempering.

However, the Sea God chose to grant the reward directly across two worlds.

And the method of delivering the reward was also quite particular.

It actually involved directly converting divine power on the spot.

Was the Sea God doing this intentionaly or is he being careless?
