Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 400 Soul Transformation, Strength Soars

Faster, faster!

More, and more!

Within the Martial Arts Mirror, Lin Chen's hand gestures constantly changed, and wisps of divine thought flying knives raced across this world.

Like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, bursting forth in an instant.

One, two...

The divine sense flying knives gathered and dispersed, changing into various shapes, and later even allowed Lin Chen to simulate the unique waveform of the Canglan energy.

One wave after another.

"Divine thoughts are like tides, divine thoughts are like waves."

Lin Chen had a constant stream of insights into the Thousand Machines Refining God Technique.

Originally, he only had dozens of divine thoughts, but now his divine thoughts have changed from Dao to waves, which is a qualitative improvement.

Even after he withdrew from that magical world and returned to the steps of Martial Arts Mountain, Lin Chen still had a look of regret on his face.

Give him some more time, and perhaps his comprehension of the Thousand Machines Refining God Technique will reach its limit.

After glancing at his score on the panel, Lin Chen ultimately decided to give up with regret.

【Points: 200971】

He originally only intended to use 30,000 points, but unexpectedly he used up 80,000 points.

The enjoyment of this cultivation session was so great that he almost forgot about time.

Of course, he could continue to comprehend the Thousand Machines Refining God Technique within the Martial Mirror, but the time required would increase over time, which meant that more points would be consumed.

It's not that the effort wasn't worth it, but compared to that, what's more important for him right now is to improve the strength of his soul.

[Exchange for Divine Refining Starfire.]

After calming his mind, Lin Chen directly chose to exchange for the [Refining Starfire] to temper his soul.

The moment the choice was made to exchange for the Divine Refining Starfire, the space of Martial Dao Mountain suddenly trembled.

Sparks of starlight appeared out of thin air, converging into a torrent of sparks like quicksand before him.

This torrent, containing the vastness of the stars, flowed unimpeded into Lin Chen's brow and then into his soul.

Each spark was like a miniature exploding star, scorching every inch of his soul's foundation with terrifying heat that burned his very bones.

An indescribable pain instantly tore apart Lin Chen's consciousness, as if his soul had been thrown into a star furnace that could refine all things!

Under that extreme pain, the little soul within the dantian was forcibly dismantled and torn apart by the violent energy.

With each tear, one could see strands of impurities being forcibly peeled off and squeezed out, only to be mercilessly burned and purified by the golden starlight.

Tearing, peeling, burning, reassembling...

The process was repeated continuously, and after each reorganization, the little soul figure became even more translucent and pure, like crystal.

……

……

One hour, two hours...

One day, two days, three days...

For three whole days, Lin Chen's soul underwent countless reorganizations. At the moment the third day ended, Lin Chen suddenly whispered, "Exchange for the Martial Evolution Mirror."

At this moment, his surroundings changed again, and he reappeared in that magical world.

The Refining Starfire within his soul was still tearing at him, but Lin Chen forcibly endured the intense pain and once again activated the Thousand Machines Refining God Technique.

Three hundred and sixty thin, cicada-wing-like throwing knives appeared around him, radiating a cold, glassy light and a chilling, star-like aura.

Wherever the mind directs, it can penetrate metal and stone.

"Thousand machines... Thousand machines..."

"A transformation of the soul..."

After his spiritual energy surged, Lin Chen suddenly had an epiphany in this world. Martial artists, once they reach the Innate Realm, no longer cultivate their physical bodies, because their physical bodies are nearing their limits.

Even those martial artists who follow the path of body refinement rely on special energies of heaven and earth, such as the innate fire of the Boundless Divine Appearance Technique.

Continuing to temper the body simply involves widening the body's meridians and acupoints, allowing the body to withstand more innate power.

The world is not only filled with innate power, but also with countless stars...

The physical body can grow stronger by absorbing innate power, but what about the soul...?

How can the spirit be strengthened?

Lin Chen recalled his journey in cultivating the Thousand Machines Refining God Technique, starting with separating his divine soul into divine thoughts...

However, the manipulation of these divine thoughts is essentially governed by some mysterious rules of heaven and earth.

"The Canglan Technique connects one's own acupoints into a line..."

With Wu Yanjing's help, Lin Chen suddenly realized that he had gone astray in his original path of soul cultivation.

No, it's not that you went the wrong way, it's just that it was too conventional.

"As long as the stars are immortal, my soul will never perish; I will become a star myself."

The sound came out of Lin Chen's mouth, and the next moment, the little divine soul in Lin Chen's dantian shattered silently, turning into specks of divine thoughts that floated in the dantian.

If outsiders were to witness this scene now, they would surely be horrified.

A broken soul signifies the end of life.

Even if they don't die, they will become mindless zombies.

No one dares to risk their own soul lightly; this is common knowledge among all martial artists in the Yan Dynasty.

……

The little divine soul in the dantian shattered and turned into specks of divine thoughts, which flowed towards the limbs and bones. Just as they were about to dissipate in the dantian, the still-burning Refining Starfire grabbed them like viscous liquid and held them in place once again.

At the same time, Lin Chen formed hand seals, and the Thousand Machines Refining God Technique was running wildly. These divine thoughts quickly wove into a huge, solid cocoon of divine thoughts with inner light!

Fourth day.

Just as all the points were about to be exhausted, the divine cocoon in the dantian shattered silently, and the original divine soul figure disappeared, replaced by a vast, boundless, deep and dazzling star map.

boom!
The moment the star chart appeared, Lin Chen's spiritual strength completely broke through its shackles!

The range of divine sense perception swept out like a storm, expanding from the original ten zhang to more than thirty zhang!
Every subtle sound and breath, from the rustling of grass in the wind, the flying sand and stones, to the chirping of insects and the crawling of ants ten miles away, is clearly visible.

However, the changes go far beyond that.

The transformation of his soul triggered a strong resonance with the Canglan energy within Lin Chen's body.

Countless acupoints on his body were now illuminated by the Azure Wave Energy, as if countless stars were awakening.

The surging energy within his body, originally like a flowing river, instantly underwent a qualitative change, becoming as abundant as a boundless deep sea.

Ice-blue energy veins flowed through the limbs and bones, forming a closed loop.

In time, this vast energy also begins to continuously transform into innate power.

Double, twice...

three times……

In the end, his innate power increased fivefold before it stopped.

"The soul also affects strength?"

Lin Chen felt the surging innate power within his body, his eyes shining with a strange light.

A strong soul enhances a martial artist's strength, but the master never mentioned that a strong soul would affect the innate power within the body.

There is only one reason that can explain my situation.

The path of the soul that I have taken is extremely special, different from that of ordinary martial artists, which is why it can affect the innate power within my body.
