Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 578 Martial Soul Phenomenon Enhancement
Looking at the blade of light hovering in front of him, radiating a chilling aura, Lin Chen's eyes gleamed.

He has only obtained one flawless martial arts will so far, which is the sword will taken from the bottom of the East Sea.

However, that sword intent was contained within the jade slip and not subdued by him. Once released, that sword intent would dissipate into the world.

Unless he can gain the approval of that flawless sword will.

But the flawless sword will before me is clearly different; it has no offensive properties, so I can try to absorb it.

With a thought, Lin Chen accelerated the circulation of the divine soul stars within his dantian, and stars slowly appeared behind him. The bright moon rose from the martial soul's strange sea, hanging high in the sky.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, its light enveloping the sword's intent. The sword's aura trembled and began to surge, clearly trying to break free from the moonlight's embrace.

However, within Lin Chen's martial soul phenomenon, the stars that appeared also began to accelerate their rotation. All the stars started to rotate, forming nebula vortexes. Each vortex emitted a powerful suction force, pulling the blade light towards them.

Although the blade of light was resisting, it was still being pulled closer and closer to the nebula vortex. The moment it finally touched the edge of the nebula vortex, it suddenly transformed into a blade of light and shot into the center of the vortex.

The blade light disappeared into the center of the vortex, and the entire nebula vortex erupted with dazzling blade light. At the same time, the waves of the vast ocean below rolled, and strands of blade will continued to emerge.

These sword intents were all absorbed by Lin Chen in the Azure Realm; some were ordinary, some were refined, and some were flawless...

At this moment, these sword wills seemed to have found their home, and they all rushed towards the nebula vortex that was bursting with brilliant sword light, pouring into it one after another.

As these sword wills continued to pour in, the entire nebula vortex was stretched continuously. With the stretching of the nebula vortex, Lin Chen felt a tearing pain throughout his soul.

[Racing Against Time: With the destiny of boundless divine illumination, multiple flawless martial arts wills are infused into the divine soul, enhancing the power of the martial soul phenomenon.]

The panel, which hadn't appeared for a long time, reappeared. Seeing the "Seize the Day" prompt on the panel, Lin Chen's eyes lit up. He had never known how to further improve his Martial Soul Phenomenon, but now he had found a direction.

Absorbing flawless martial will can enhance the power of one's martial soul phenomenon.

It seems that only he can walk this path. Ordinary martial artists do not have the destiny of "Divine Illumination Without Bounds" and cannot absorb divine soul energy infinitely. At most, their divine soul can only contain a flawless martial will.

Lin Chen pondered for a long time. Many martial artists at the sixth level of the Innate Realm only pursue one perfect and flawless martial will in their entire lives. Besides the fact that it is extremely difficult to upgrade the martial will to the perfect and flawless level, there is another reason: the soul cannot withstand two perfect and flawless martial wills.

If you're not careful, it can easily cause your soul to be torn apart, which would be a losing proposition.

However, I don't have this problem. [Divine Illumination Without Bounds] allows my soul to absorb energy infinitely, and martial will is essentially a type of soul energy, just a special one.

The nebula vortexes within his own star are numerous enough to absorb an unlimited amount of flawless martial will.

As for the intense pain of his soul being torn apart, it was nothing to Lin Chen. He had endured far too much of this kind of pain along his cultivation journey.

One breath, two breaths...

After a hundred breaths, the nebula vortex was stretched into the shape of a long blade, but the next moment it exploded and changed back into the shape of a vortex, although blade light flashed from time to time in this vortex.

From a distance, it looks as if a peerless sword is hidden in this vortex, sending chills down one's spine.

At the same time, Lin Chen also gained many insights about the knife.

Chop, hack, swing...

Scenes of sword techniques flashed through his mind. At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a swordsman, practicing his swordsmanship on the snow-capped mountain peak and amidst the waterfall...

Ten thousand times, one hundred thousand times, one million times...

The moment Lin Chen opened his eyes again, the cold light emanating from them was strikingly similar to that of the unruly swordsman from before.

In just a few dozen breaths, it felt like he had lived a lifetime with a sword, and his aura was as sharp as a cold blade.

"cut!"

With a loud shout, a blade of light flashed from the nebula vortex behind Lin Chen, slashing down in front of him.

There weren't many special effects, not even any energy fluctuations, but Lin Chen was confident in the power of this strike; a martial artist at the fifth level of the Innate Realm simply couldn't withstand it.

After dispelling his martial spirit phenomenon, Lin Chen adjusted his breathing, and his aura returned to normal: "Let's begin the next round."

"allow!"

A majestic voice rang out, and another figure solidified on the arena. His aura was as heavy as a mountain. He was a burly, bald man with skin that gleamed with a bronze luster and muscles that bulged like dragons in his arms.

"He's actually someone who follows the path of body refinement."

Lin Chen's eyes were solemn. The strength of martial artists who follow the path of body refinement is highly polarized; some are of average strength, while others are of very high strength.

Clearly, this senior belongs to the latter category; otherwise, he wouldn't be considered one of the hundred strongest individuals in the four realms of the Innate Realm in the history of the Yan Dynasty. "Greetings, Senior."

Although he knew that these people were just projections of the Tower of Babel, Lin Chen still bowed.

The burly man remained silent, but as he stepped forward, the arena trembled. He threw a punch with a simple, unadorned style, yet it contained the will to annihilate all laws. Space collapsed inch by inch before his fist!
"Well done!"

Feeling the power contained in the senior's punch, Lin Chen let out a long roar, and his blood and qi were also running at their peak at this moment. He returned the punch with his own.

His punch was as powerful as a raging torrent of fire hanging upside down from the heavens, its force astonishing.

Clasping their fists together!

It was like two sacred mountains colliding!

The energy is spreading wildly, visible to the naked eye!
Lin Chen felt an overwhelming force coming from him, his arm trembled violently, his blood surged, and he was so shaken that he was thrown back several feet, plowing two deep furrows into the arena floor!
The burly man only took three steps back, but his fists were now covered in bloodstains, with blood dripping down continuously.

Neither of them gained the upper hand.

"Senior, come again!"

Lin Chen suppressed his surging blood and qi, his fighting spirit growing even stronger!
It's rare to encounter a strong person whose physical strength is comparable to one's own. This is the perfect whetstone to test the limits of one's immortal body!
Lin Chen threw another punch, as did the bald giant opposite him, but this time neither of them retreated immediately upon contact.

Fists, palms, elbows, knees, legs... every part of Lin Chen's body transformed into the most ferocious weapon, wrapped in blazing flames, and bombarded the bald giant like a storm!
Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
The arena resounded with a terrifying, dense barrage of impacts, like the drums of war, each collision sounding as if the heavens and earth were collapsing!

Both men were soon covered in bruises, but unlike the big man, Lin Chen's skin healed quickly after cracking, much faster than Shen Tu's.

After a hundred punches, the burly man's bronze arm suddenly exploded, shattering along with the joints.

[Defeat your opponent to receive one body tempering opportunity!]

The majestic voice of the Tower of Babel resounded. This time, it was no longer martial will, but a light that enveloped him directly. This light permeated his muscles, bones, and skin, and Lin Chen could clearly feel the growth of his body in all aspects.

His immortal body has become at least 30% stronger, and he is probably not far from breaking through to the fifth level.

This time, Lin Chen did not need to adjust his breathing. As the light disappeared, all his injuries healed, and he returned to his peak condition.

"I choose to continue the challenge!"

On the stage, the third opponent was soon revealed, who turned out to be a woman dressed in plain clothes.

The woman's figure was ethereal, and her aura was barely perceptible.

The woman appeared, but did not make a move; she merely glanced at Lin Chen.

hum!
The moment their eyes met, Lin Chen felt as if the scene before him shattered!

No longer on the fighting stage, but back on Canglan Island, back in Poyang County, he was fishing with his elder brother in the lake. His elderly father was carrying baskets of fish on the shore, and not far away, a beautiful woman was smiling at him while holding an infant in swaddling clothes. Beside them, a child was fishing with a bamboo pole, imitating the adults.

A loving couple, two children, and parents to care for... this is the happiness that ordinary people pursue.

However, the next moment, everything vanished, and he found himself standing in front of the main hall of the Canglan Sect, covered in blood. Before him lay the corpses of countless fellow disciples, including Qiao Yuan and his own. Countless disciples of the Eight Desolations Sect lunged at him menacingly…

Then, in another turn, Murong Yan was in tears, and Jiang Qing turned away in disappointment... Countless illusions played out one after another, making it hard to distinguish between reality and illusion, pointing directly to the softest, most fearful, and most longed memories deep in his heart!
However, just as Lin Chen was trapped in the illusion, a flame flickered between his eyebrows, and the Illusionary Sea Heart Flame floated out, burning all the unseen energy around it.

The woman let out a muffled groan, her face turning deathly pale.

"What a sharp illusion! Even with my strong soul, I was still caught in it. It's just a pity that I have the Illusionary Sea Heart Flame, which is the perfect counter to all illusions."

Lin Chen looked at the woman, but the woman's figure flashed and transformed into dozens of figures.

These dozens of figures were so numerous that even divine sense could not distinguish between the real and the fake.

"Too bad, you've run into me!"

Lin Chen's eyes flickered with the flames of the Illusionary Sea Heart Flame, instantly locking onto the true body among the many fake bodies.

Ignoring the other fake bodies, Lin Chen unleashed a burst of energy from the Azure Eye between his brows, heading straight for the woman's true form!
A hint of surprise finally appeared in the eyes of the woman in plain clothes. She retreated rapidly, her fair hand waving repeatedly, her figure becoming ethereal and disappearing without a trace. But no matter how she changed, she was still accurately hit by the Eye of Azure Waves.

puff!
The eerie blue light pierced directly through the woman's brow.

The woman paused, then her figure slowly disappeared.
