Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 431 Martial Will Fusion with Martial Soul?

call out!
The moment Lin Chen stepped into the colorful bubbles, the scene before him changed abruptly.

The boundless plains replaced the vast sea, and a headless Azure Beast, covered in ice-blue scales and wielding a twelve-foot-long spear, stood proudly in the center of the land.

Before the spear tip even moved, the chilling intent of the spear was already piercing towards Lin Chen's brow!
The spear tore through the air, creating three afterimages that blocked all of Lin Chen's escape routes.

Lin Chen did not dodge. Flames appeared on his body, and the golden blade on his shoulder rang out. The battle puppet form of the Boundless Divine Appearance Technique instantly covered his body!
The crimson armor withstood the spear thrusts, and amidst the sparks flying, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the armor.

hiss!
Lin Chen's expression changed; this was the first time he had suffered a loss in a confrontation.

The attack unleashed by the spear in the Azure Beast's hand was stronger than that of any opponent it had ever fought.

The Azure Beast with flawless martial will is comparable to the peak of the Innate Realm.

Most importantly, Lin Chen had already learned from his master that the Canglan Beast was not afraid of soul attacks, which meant that he could not use his most powerful trump card.

The Azure Beast did not stop its attack. The spear in its hand changed its stance again, and the spear stirred up Azure Energy to form a spiral storm, which plowed deep trenches into the ground.

Lin Chen's golden winged shoulder guards suddenly extended, and his body retreated backward. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to retreat when facing an opponent.

As he retreated, the Azure Beast pursued him with its spear, its spear spreading like wildfire wave after wave, each wave unleashing energy stronger than the last.

"What kind of martial will is this?"

Lin Chen frowned, and after several consecutive Canglan Finger strikes, the huge finger imprint was shattered by the opponent's spear force before it could even land.

After retreating several times, Lin Chen felt that he was already at the edge of the plain behind him, and at this moment the Canglan Beast attacked again, carrying overwhelming power, and stabbed at him once more.

With no way out, Lin Chen's pupils blazed with a deep blue light, and two beams of blue light shot out from his eyes.

The Eye of the Azure Waves!

Blue light shot out and landed on the spear, which then disintegrated into quicksand. Its body also collapsed like liquid and fell to the ground, turning into a pool of blue water.

Seeing the Azure Beast's body disintegrate, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. With his divine soul unusable, the Azure Eye was his strongest trump card. If even the Azure Eye couldn't defeat the Azure Beast, then he would have failed this time.

Is this the power of a flawless innate martial arts will?

Lin Chen's eyes were filled with anticipation; he wanted to see just what this flawless level martial will was.

A few breaths later, the blue liquid on the ground disappeared, and a long spear radiating light silently floated in front of him.

"Is this the true form of a flawless martial will?"

Lin Chen examined the spear for a long time before finally reaching out and grasping it. The instant his hand touched the spear, a vast and overwhelming surge of martial arts essence directly entered his mind.
[Flawless Martial Arts Spear Intent: Spiral Nine Extremes.]

Lin Chen's perception suddenly plunged into a chaotic, misty illusion, where only the physical form of the spear containing a flawless will stood tall between heaven and earth.

The spear seemed to be manipulated by an invisible martial will, unfolding a primal display of spear techniques before his eyes:
The spear tip, like a dragon, pierced straight out with a sharp whistling sound that tore through space; its simplicity contained an infinite power.

A perfectly straight line, so straight it's unbelievable.

No matter how strong the energy at the tip of the gun is, the gun body and the tip do not deviate at all.

First stab, then flick, then slash...

I don't know how many times he fired, but the next moment the gun's momentum changed.

Each action of picking, chopping, breaking, and sweeping is like a drill penetrating a vital point, or like a whirlwind sweeping across, or like soft silk wrapping and strangling... Each pole corresponds to a unique energy operation.

I am the gun, and the gun is me.

At this moment, Lin Chen had transformed into this long spear, but this was not the end.

The spear suddenly spun rapidly, stirring up a massive vortex. Each thrust, slash, strike, and sweep was no longer a simple straight line or arc, but rather carried a high-speed spiraling, coiling force. The power accumulated layer upon layer in the rotation, unleashing a destructive force far exceeding its surface appearance.

Lin Chen's breathing changed with the movement and burst of the spear at this moment, and as the spear phantom gradually dissipated into the clouds, the entire [Flawless Martial Arts Spear Intent: Spiral Nine Extremes] resounded in his instincts like a howling wind.

"The flawless level of martial will is truly terrifying. If I had a spear right now, I could shatter several versions of myself in the present."

If a spear has such power, then the sword is recognized as the most powerful weapon in the Yan Dynasty. No wonder that when Senior Brother Pei was not yet a Xiantian, he was able to injure a Xiantian martial artist with his flawless sword will.

Just as Lin Chen was about to leave, he looked inward at his body and was suddenly stunned.

Within the divine soul stars in his dantian, hundreds of stars were now interconnected, forming the shape of a long spear.

"How is this going?"

He already knew from his master that the soul is the foundation of martial arts will, but his master had never said that martial arts will could also manifest in the soul.

"Could it be because my soul is somewhat special?"

Just as Lin Chen was pondering, the panel suddenly appeared in front of him on its own.

[Every second counts]

[Martial will can be fused together to form a martial soul]

[Elementary Martial Soul requires the fusion of four flawless-grade martial wills]

Lin Chen: ? ? ?
Upon seeing the words "Martial Soul," Lin Chen was completely stunned. In all the martial arts knowledge his master had taught him about the path to cultivation in the Innate Realm, the word "Martial Soul" had never been mentioned before. What exactly was this Martial Soul?
The common knowledge in the martial arts world is that each martial artist can only comprehend one martial arts will, and then spend their entire life continuously upgrading that martial arts will.

"The purpose of making every second count is to find the fastest and most suitable path to become stronger based on one's current cultivation situation. In other words, this martial spirit has an effect on one's strength growth."

Lin Chen pondered for more than ten breaths, finally suppressing the many doubts in his heart. He decided to ask his master for guidance after leaving the Canglan Secret Realm.

"Out!"

"Is this a success?"

When Lin Chen stepped out of the colorful bubbles, the bubbles did not fall to the seabed, but instead transformed into seven-colored light and floated into the sky, disappearing from sight.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Lin."

Lin Chen returned to the beach and found that Zeng Xi and Qiao Yuan were no longer there. At this moment, there were more than a dozen bubbles floating on the sea, four of which were colorful and more than a dozen were tri-colored.

Only three people remained on the beach: two senior brothers from the Canglan Sect and one from an outer sect.

"It seems that the two senior brothers have gained something."

Seeing the smiles on his two senior brothers' faces, Lin Chen knew that they must have obtained the martial arts will they wanted.

"Haha, thankfully, neither of us has high expectations."

The two senior brothers smiled even more broadly. They never thought they would be able to comprehend the flawless level of martial will. At most, only one or two people in each generation could do so. How could it possibly be their turn?

Even if it were their turn, they wouldn't be able to defeat the Azure Beast.

Just as Lin Chen was talking with his two senior brothers, Zeng Xi's figure emerged from one of the seven-colored bubbles, looking quite helpless.

Failed?
Lin Chen was somewhat surprised to see Zeng Xi's expression.

"It's not that I can't defeat that Azure Beast, it's just that the martial will within it isn't what I need."

Zeng Xi didn't wait for Lin Chen to ask before directly stating the reason.

Hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Even Zeng Xi knew to give up, so why did [Racing Against Time] still remind him that the four martial wills could be fused into a martial soul?
