“Tsk… this Martial God Body Spirit isn’t just powerful—it’s unbelievably handsome after Spirit Possession.”
Xu Fan glanced at the Martial Spirit phantom behind him.
Although its face was obscured, the invisible pressure it radiated was something no ordinary Spirit Master could withstand.
It even felt vaguely similar to Overlord’s Haki.
Xu Fan clenched his fist lightly, sensing an explosive power coiled within his body.
Crushing several bulls with a single punch wouldn’t be a problem at all.
More importantly, his spirit ring wasn’t beneath his feet like a normal Spirit Master’s.
Instead, it floated behind the head of the Martial Spirit phantom, resembling a radiant Golden Ring of Karma.
Though it was called a Martial Spirit phantom, it would be more accurate to call it a Martial God phantom.
“No time to waste.
Today’s story still isn’t finished.”
“First Spirit Ability—Martial God Astral Qi.”
The yellow spirit ring behind the Martial God phantom’s head flared with light, its brilliance surging outward.
The pale-golden pressure field surrounding Xu Fan rapidly contracted.
In the blink of an eye, a layer of golden, translucent Protective Aura formed tightly around his body.
The aura clung to his form like a second skin, golden patterns flashing across it from time to time.
It was like a suit of invisible armor.
“Here we go!”
Xu Fan kicked off the ground and launched himself toward the first protruding rock.
His movements were swift and precise, every motion clean and efficient.
Each grab and step landed perfectly on the slick rock outcroppings.
The torrential waterfall crashed down on him, but the force was diverted by the Protective Aura and his spirit power barrier.
With one final burst of strength, Xu Fan landed firmly on a flat rock concealed behind the curtain of water.
He was close now—only about ten meters away.
Without stopping to rest, Xu Fan scanned the rock wall ahead with sharp eyes.
Years of erosion had left grooves and ridges of varying depth across its surface.
To him, they were perfect footholds.
Two minutes later, Xu Fan reached his destination.
He placed his hand against a rock and slightly hollowed his palm.
Click!
A hidden doorway appeared.
Xu Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward and vanished into the cave.
[Phew… I finally made it up.
As expected, coming here without sufficient strength makes climbing this waterfall extremely difficult.]
[Fortunately, my Spirit is strong enough, and I have Martial God Astral Qi from my first spirit ring to protect me.
Otherwise, it would’ve been impossible to deal with the waterfall. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
It’s truly fierce.]
[I’ll be meeting Ah Yin soon… I’m actually a little excited.]
[Back then, I didn’t get to see her until much later.]
[As for the hundred-thousand-year spirit bone, I wonder if absorbing it will allow me to activate the Martial God Body’s two innate abilities.]
[Physical Sainthood and Omniscience of All Methods.]
[Both abilities are innate to the Martial God Body, but they require an enormous amount of energy to activate.]
[Once Physical Sainthood is activated, my physical strength scales proportionally with my spirit power.
Even without using Spirit Abilities, it rivals a top-tier Beast Spirit of the same rank.
And this isn’t just raw strength—it’s a comprehensive boost to all attributes.]
[With Physical Sainthood alone, I can crush Spirit Masters of the same realm without even using Spirit Abilities.
It’s terrifyingly strong.]
[Omniscience of All Methods allows me to instantly determine the optimal way to break through or counter an opponent during combat.
It also vastly enhances my learning ability—to a frightening degree.
Just seeing a Spirit Ability once is enough for me to learn it.]
[Back then, I relied on it to master the Clear Sky Sect’s Great Sumeru Hammer.
Using Ring Explosion, I smashed the Clear Sky Sect to pieces.]
[I’ve arrived.]
Everyone who read this widened their eyes at the sheer monstrosity of Xu Fan’s abilities.
Spirit Hall.
“Teacher… can a Spirit really possess abilities like that?” Hu Liena’s fox-like eyes widened, her face filled with envy.
“A Spirit can indeed have many innate abilities,” Bibi Dong replied calmly.
“For example, my Death Spider Emperor grants immunity to all poisons.
Your Charming Fox greatly amplifies charm.
These are all considered innate abilities.”
“It’s just that compared to Xu Fan’s Spirit… their effects are far inferior.”
To be honest, even Bibi Dong herself felt envious.
If only she could possess even one of those abilities…
Lanba Academy.
“Damn… this kid’s abilities are outrageous,” Liu Erlong muttered, eyes blazing with envy.
“If I had Physical Sainthood, my physical body would be absurdly strong.”
She loved fighting and had a fiery temperament—both abilities suited her perfectly.
“As expected of the Martial God Body,” she added.
“I really want to meet him someday and see it for myself.”
She wondered whether it was truly as exaggerated as Xu Fan claimed.
…
Inside the cave, Xu Fan saw a small, unremarkable mound of earth.
At its peak grew a unique stalk of Blue Silver Grass.
It was none other than Ah Yin—the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the Blue Silver Emperor.
Xu Fan walked over and slowly crouched down.
He extended a finger, a strand of extremely gentle aura swirling at its tip, and lightly brushed the gold-veined leaves.
His voice softened, tinged with complex emotion, as though he were speaking to himself.
“Ah Yin… Ah Yin… tell me, why did you go through all of this?”
“You placed that man at the center of your heart—gave up your cultivation for him, sacrificed your life for him, and quietly accumulated energy in this dark cave… all for the sake of reunion.”
His voice dropped lower.
“But what about him?
I’m afraid… he’s long forgotten you.
Otherwise, how could he leave you alone in this cold, damp cave, unattended and ignored?”
“How long has it been since he last came to see you?”
Ah Yin’s stem trembled faintly.
The leaves atop it lost their vitality and drooped.
Seeing her reaction, the corners of Xu Fan’s lips lifted ever so slightly.
It’s working.
His expression remained one of sorrow and pity.
“If he had sent you back to the Blue Silver Forest back then, where you could be nourished by the aura of countless kin and sustained by the forest’s vitality… perhaps you would have reshaped your body and transformed again long ago.”
“Why waste your years here, enduring such loneliness?”
Xu Fan gently tapped the leaves with his fingertip.
Ah Yin trembled once more, the leaves drooping even lower, conveying a sense of confusion and grievance.
Xu Fan said nothing further.
Carefully, he pressed his palm against the mound.
A gentle stream of spirit power flowed downward, slowly lifting Ah Yin free.
“Ah Yin, stay here for now.
After I finish absorbing your spirit bone, I’ll take you with me.”
“I’m sorry.
I need to grow stronger as quickly as possible.”
“If there’s a chance in the future… I’ll compensate you with a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone.”
Xu Fan turned aside and began searching for the spirit bone.
Making things up?
Who doesn’t know how to do that?
Tang Hao… Tang Hao.
Your wife—I’m taking her.
Your spirit bone—I’m taking that too.
“Found it,” Xu Fan said softly.
“It’s right here.”
