Free Web NovelChapter 302: Chapter 302: Level 1 Martial Spirit
Hearing this, Liu Canghai’s expression changed drastically.
"You... what the hell is going on?! We had a deal! I give you Chu Qingyun’s whereabouts, you send someone to take him out, a guaranteed kill! Now the person you sent is dead?!"
"Doesn’t that mean the assassination failed? That that little bastard is still alive?!"
Liu Canghai roared, pointing at Mu with a face full of rage.
He had risked a capital offense by colluding with the people from the Martial Soul Hall, all because he wanted Chu Qingyun dead.
And now? He’d taken the risk, committed the crime, and this was the result he got in return!
Mu’s expression also grew grim, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Faced with Liu Canghai’s furious roars, he remained completely silent, his thoughts unreadable.
"Hmph. Mu, our cooperation ends here! From now on, we don’t know each other!" Liu Canghai declared, then turned to leave.
All he wanted now was to wash his hands of this affair completely.
"Stop!"
Mu’s cold shout stopped him in his tracks. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Liu Canghai, do you really think you can just walk away from this?" Mu sneered, looking at the infuriated Liu Canghai.
Liu Canghai’s expression darkened. "Mu, what’s the meaning of this? This is Lianshan County City. You think you can keep me here?"
"Keep you? Heh, I’m not interested in men. However, there is something I’ll need your help with. Help me find out what missions your Celestial Wind Army’s Guard Generals will be taking on."
Mu casually swept the shattered jade tablet off the table and stared at Liu Canghai.
Hearing this, Liu Canghai’s expression changed once more. "Don’t even think about it! I will never help you with something like that!"
Liu Canghai knew exactly what Mu was planning. His goal was certainly the same as this time: to ambush and kill them!
If Liu Canghai actually did this, he would truly be damned beyond redemption!
"Hmph. Liu Canghai, you’ve already done it once. Aren’t you afraid I’ll report this matter to your Lord Military Commander?" Mu threatened.
But Liu Canghai just sneered and said, "Be my guest. Do you think the people of our Great Xia Dragon Guard will believe a member of the Martial Soul Hall, or will they believe me?"
"Hehe, they certainly won’t believe me. But... what if it were Liu Cangyi and Zhao Jing? Liu Canghai, you haven’t seen either of them these past few days, have you?"
Mu walked up to Liu Canghai and said with a light chuckle.
"You... You captured them?"
Panic began to set in Liu Canghai’s heart.
Zhao Jing and Liu Cangyi both knew about the plot, and Liu Canghai had no illusions that they could withstand the Martial Soul Hall’s threats, bribes, or even brutal torture without selling him out!
"Within three days, I want your first piece of mission intelligence. Otherwise, you can wait to be utterly disgraced and branded a traitor!"
With that, Mu shoved Liu Canghai out of the room and slammed the door shut with a BANG.
Standing on the secluded street outside, Liu Canghai stared at the tightly shut doors and windows of the house, grinding his teeth in hatred. But in the end, all he could do was let out a long, helpless sigh.
’It’s easy to board a pirate ship, but hard to get off.’
The disgrace of being branded a traitor... It was a burden he could not bear.
Near a relay station outside the County City.
While condensing Primordial Liquid, Chu Qingyun also devoured the True Martial Soul Battle Saber that Blue Ink had transformed into. It took him over ten minutes to completely absorb all of the man’s Primordial Power and Martial Soul Power.
Fortunately, there was no one on the road, and the people working at the relay station were all ordinary folk or very low-level Martial Artists. The moment Chu Qingyun and his opponent had started fighting, they had all scattered in terror, fleeing for their lives.
After finishing devouring Blue Ink’s Primordial Power, Chu Qingyun did not stop cultivating. He calmed his heart and concentrated his spirit, continuing to refine and compress his Primordial Power. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The Primordial Power in his Qi Sea steadily decreased, while the Primordial Liquid steadily increased.
As the amount of Primordial Liquid grew, Chu Qingyun gradually felt a resonance—a resonance between his Qi Sea and the Primordial Liquid. It seemed as if a connection had been established between the two.
Chu Qingyun knew this meant his Primordial Liquid could now replace his Primordial Power in sustaining his Qi Sea!
In other words, if he continued condensing until all the mist-like Primordial Power was converted into Primordial Liquid, he would be able to step into the Martial Spirit Realm and become a true Level One Martial Spirit!
Another ten minutes passed, and the last wisp of Primordial Power was condensed.
The final drop of Primordial Liquid merged into the pool that already covered about one-fifth of the bottom of his Qi Sea.
As the last trace of Primordial Power vanished, the resonance between the Primordial Liquid and his Qi Sea reached its peak!
Chu Qingyun sank his consciousness into his Qi Sea and could see the Primordial Liquid at the bottom surging upward at the edges. The liquid formed a thin film, lining the inner walls of his Qi Sea.
Then, Chu Qingyun’s body suddenly trembled.
He could clearly feel his Qi Sea beginning to absorb the power of the Primordial Liquid.
This was a tempering and a transformation. After absorbing the power of the Primordial Liquid, the Qi Sea would become much stronger and more stable. Without this transformation, his Qi Sea would likely be unable to withstand the accumulation of Primordial Liquid at the Martial Spirit Realm!
Once the Qi Sea finished its absorption, a portion of the Primordial Liquid passed through it and permeated Chu Qingyun’s body.
Instantly, a pleasant warmth spread throughout Chu Qingyun’s entire body, as if he were soaking in a hot bath. It was an indescribably comfortable feeling that radiated from the inside out.
Primordial Power Body Tempering.
This was his body actively absorbing the strength of the Primordial Power, fundamentally improving itself in every aspect, from the inside out. Such an opportunity only came once, during a breakthrough!
Another ten minutes passed. Chu Qingyun’s eyes snapped open, a sharp glint shooting from them before slowly retracting, settling deep within his gaze.
He had now officially stepped into the Martial Spirit Realm, becoming a true Martial Spirit—a Level One Martial Spirit!
’No wonder the Third Layer of the Profound Celestial Divine Pattern felt so strained against a true Martial Spirit Realm expert,’ Chu Qingyun mused. ’So this is the effect of Primordial Power Body Tempering... it’s incredible...’
As he thought this, he pressed down with his foot. Without using any Primordial Power, he effortlessly crushed a solid block of bluestone to dust.
Looking at the wounds on his left arm and hand, Chu Qingyun frowned.
He circulated his Primordial Power and once again summoned his Iron Wire Ten-Star Vine Martial Soul.
After a Martial Soul reaches Tier Four, one can actively use some of its Martial Soul Powers. For instance, the Devouring Power can devour and refine all sorts of energies, while the Flame Power can be used for Refining Elixirs.
The Martial Soul Power of his Iron Wire Ten-Star Vine, however, was the ability to heal and recover from injuries.
The usable Martial Soul Powers were closely related to the traits the Martial Soul exhibited. The Ten-star Vine Martial Soul had always displayed the traits of tenacity and rapid regeneration.
Therefore, Chu Qingyun had long suspected that its Martial Soul Power would be related to one of these two traits.
