“Stop looking at Elder Qi Lin.
Although he has some unique skills, they aren’t suitable for you.”
Du Busi noticed Mu Yuan’s gaze directed at the man with the thick right arm and offered a reminder.
Noticing that Mu Yuan was still confused, the man with the thick right arm—Elder Qi Lin—said, “Although I have some unique skills for my right arm, they were all developed based on my spirit rings and Spirit Ability.
Even if you absorb the same type of spirit ring as me, the Spirit Ability you obtain will be different.
Every Body Martial Soul Spirit Master is a different individual.”
Mu Yuan was lost in thought.
In the end, he still chose to follow Elder Qi Lin to study and cultivate.
Regarding this, the others didn’t argue.
Sending Elder Qi Lin to guide Mu Yuan was actually because everyone felt Elder Qi Lin was the most suitable choice.
…
Although Mu Yuan had joined the Body Sect, he still studied at the Blue Tyrant Junior Soul Master Academy.
The courses taught at the academy, such as information on Spirit Beasts and Spirit Master Spirits, were basic knowledge of the Spirit Master’s world.
Every Spirit Master had to learn them; otherwise, when facing an enemy, they might suffer a great loss if they didn’t know the opponent’s potential abilities even after seeing their Spirit.
The Spirit Master cultivation system was not one where leveling up by one rank caused a heaven-defying qualitative change.
Ultimately, information about a Spirit Master’s Spirit Ability was crucial.
By knowing the opponent’s Spirit Ability information, having Spirit Abilities that countered them, and preparing in advance, a Spirit Master could catch them off guard and defeat enemies of a higher rank.
Mu Yuan honestly studied the theory at the academy and asked for leave from all other classes.
Anyway, as long as his Soul Power cultivation was up to par, the teachers wouldn’t give him a hard time.
Innate rank 3 Soul Power was not considered a strong talent.
But that was for ordinary Spirit Masters.
For Body Martial Soul Spirit Masters, innate rank 3 was not weak.
A Spirit Master’s innate Soul Power corresponded to the quality of their Spirit.
The so-called quality was the strength.
For example, Mu Yuan’s Spirit was his arm.
His Spirit was literally his arm, so the quality naturally wasn’t high, and it was normal for his innate Soul Power not to be high.
However, as he cultivated, every rank of Soul Power increase would be amplified through his Spirit to his arm.
At the same time, the increase in arm strength was equivalent to the improvement of his Spirit, which would accelerate the speed of his Soul Power cultivation.
This feedback brought about by the usual rank-by-rank increase in Soul Power was not strong, but it definitely existed.
The attachment of each spirit ring was when this feedback was most obvious.
And different spirit rings provided different feedback to the body, and even the direction suitable for the Spirit Master’s own body was different.
This led to the fact that even within the Body Sect, it was very difficult for those with the same Spirit to teach each other.
To put it bluntly, most of the unique skills mastered by the Body Sect’s Spirit Masters were just stacking their own Spirit Abilities—brute force winning the day.
Take Elder Qi Lin, for example.
All his Spirit Abilities were for amplifying right-arm damage, and the stacking effect between them was very obvious.
He insisted on calling it a Qi Lin Arm.
Who could refute that?
Most people in the Sect were in this situation; everyone’s cultivation direction was different, so no one should laugh at anyone else.
When Mu Yuan learned of this situation, he was stunned.
Fortunately, the Body Sect also had good things.
For example, the mystic water pill.
This item was worth its weight in gold and hard to buy; the Xuanming Sect had limited production, but most Body Sect disciples had poorer innate aptitude, so the Sect would use ‘force’ to buy some from the Xuanming Sect.
Mu Yuan joined the Sect and received a mystic water pill on the third day.
After refining the mystic water pill, his rank 3 Soul Power shot straight up to the peak of rank 5.
After digesting the medicinal power for a month, his Soul Power naturally broke through to rank 6.
At this time, the Sect got him another soul ascension pill.
According to the Sect, if you have medicinal pills, use them.
As long as you don’t over-consume them and damage your foundation, it’s fine.
For Body Martial Soul Spirit Masters, raising their Soul Power to above rank 30 as early as possible was of the utmost importance.
“But shouldn’t I wait a bit?
Can’t the soul ascension pill be taken at most twice?
If I take them at rank 9 and rank 19, wouldn’t I be able to directly cross two major bottlenecks?”
In Spirit Master cultivation, every rank breakthrough requires persistent meditation, and the bottleneck at every tenth rank is even more grueling.
Even if one’s aptitude is sufficient and one will eventually cross this bottleneck, one still needs to spend some time grinding through these ten ranks.
According to Mu Yuan, using medicinal pills to break through during such major bottlenecks would allow one to skip this grueling process.
To this, Elder Qi Lin’s response was: “If you skip rank 10 and rank 20 now, it will only be harder to break through at rank 30.”
Mu Yuan did not refute Elder Qi Lin regarding this cultivation setting.
Since this was what experience had concluded, it was best for him to follow it.
So, he took the soul ascension pill.
After one night, his rank 6 Soul Power shot up to rank 9.
Whether it was the mystic water pill or the soul ascension pill, they were primarily tonics.
After consuming the two pills, Mu Yuan felt as if he had grown taller.
His arms also became thicker and more powerful.
Most importantly, the speed of circulating Soul Power during meditation had changed drastically.
“It will probably take some time to go from rank 9 to rank 10.
You can use this time to research your future development path.”
Elder Qi Lin began to explain to Mu Yuan how to plan his Body Martial Soul cultivation.
The body is ultimately fragile.
When applied to the attack system, one must first ensure that one’s own body is not damaged, so the various schools of the Body Sect avoid fighting directly with the body itself.
“Poison, energy solidification, scale armor coverage…”
Mu Yuan also listened carefully.
He also fell into deep thought.
Arm Spirit, how should this Spirit be developed?
For a Body Martial Soul, the more important the body part corresponding to the Spirit is, the greater the potential of the Spirit, and the higher the level of the second awakening.
An Arm Spirit is not particularly important…
Mu Yuan had actually been pondering this for the past month.
“Arm…”
How can this pair of hands be cultivated?
Carrying heavy thoughts, Mu Yuan returned to his dormitory alone.
A night of meditation.
In his mental World, Mu Yuan’s figure stood tall, his arms glowing, and Soul Power radiated from them.
Rays of light appeared behind him, vaguely outlining the shape of arms.
He opened his eyes.
Mu Yuan stared out the window, lost in a daze.
At first, his gaze was unfocused, but as time passed, his gaze became increasingly firm.
After a night of meditation, he had an idea.
“My Spirit is an arm, so I will walk the path of the Eight-Armed Demon God.”
“Energy solidification!”
“With the help of spirit rings, I want to make my Spirit transform, manifest eight arms, and forge the Dharma form of a Divine Demon!”
With his thoughts cleared, the circulation of Soul Power within Mu Yuan’s body became much smoother.
A premonition in the dark told Mu Yuan that he only needed to accumulate Soul Power step by step to smoothly break through to rank 10.
No bottlenecks!
…
Two months later.
It had been four months since his Spirit awakening.
Mu Yuan finished his meditation and looked down at his hands, his heart filled with boundless ambition.
Four months ago, when he awakened his Spirit with innate rank 3, he never dared to imagine that he could break through to rank 10 four months later!
He clenched his fist tightly, feeling the surging power in his arms.
The thought of the Eight-Armed Demon God flashed through his mind again, and his gaze was firmer than ever before.
“My Spirit is not inferior to anyone else’s!”
