The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 15 Self-Formed Soul Ring
"Click~"

With his extensive experience in causing trouble, March 7th keenly sensed that the energy inside the crystal ball was saturated and would crack if it continued, so he quickly stopped the energy transfer.

Seeing that the crystal ball seemed to be fine, March 7th quietly stuck out her little pink tongue.

"Innately full of soul power!"

Deacon Liu cried out in surprise again, unaware that this was just the beginning of her screams for the day.

Then, Deacon Liu remembered March 7th's age, and his expression of joy instantly turned to pain: "A pearl is being wasted, a terrible waste! With your talent, if you had awakened your martial soul at the age of six, you would at least be a Soul Master now, and a Soul King wouldn't be out of the question, but now..."

Deacon Liu grabbed March 7's shoulders excitedly, his handsome face contorted into a ferocious and terrifying expression: "Girl, tell me, where are you from? Who is the deacon in charge of spirit awakening in your area? I will impeach him! I will make sure he gets out of the Spirit Hall!"

"Uh... Sister, don't get agitated." March 7 looked at Dan Heng outside the door for help.

What should I say? Please help me!
Dan Heng's understanding of this world was limited to what Meng Huaifeng had told him, so he didn't want to speak carelessly and nudged Meng Huaifeng lightly with his shoulder.

Meng Huaifeng hadn't figured out how to explain, so he could only say, "Deacon Liu, this has nothing to do with anyone else; it's our own fault."

"Your own fault? What exactly is the reason? Explain yourself! Do you know you ruined her? She originally had the potential to become a Title Douluo, and now she's lucky if she can become a Soul Saint! What about you parents? How can you be parents? Don't you know the importance of Martial Soul Awakening?"

Deacon Liu was furious. She was truly heartbroken that March 7 had wasted his talent. In her agitation, Meng Huaifeng, who was exuding an imposing aura, unconsciously took a step back.

"Um..." Meng Huaifeng's brain was working frantically, and he finally came up with an excuse, but Uncle Yang, Sister Ji Zi, I'm sorry!

"Actually, this is what happened. Our parents offended a powerful force in their early years and had no choice but to hide their identities. They were afraid that if we awakened our martial souls, our enemies would recognize us through them, so they never let us awaken our martial souls. Now that they know our enemy has fallen on hard times, they dare to let us awaken our martial souls," Meng Huaifeng said casually.

"Is that so?" Deacon Liu was still somewhat skeptical, and said indignantly, "Even so, can't you just awaken it and not use it? You're deliberately preventing you from awakening, thus ruining your bright future."

"Hehe, maybe he's too scared to do anything unexpected." Meng Huaifeng touched his nose.

"Forget it, I'm just a lowly deacon of the Spirit Hall, I have no right to interfere in your affairs. Since it's not an internal matter of the Spirit Hall, there's nothing I can do. What a pity." Deacon Liu looked at March 7 with regret and sighed again.

"Can you awaken my martial soul now? I want a really powerful martial soul." Xing looked at Deacon Liu expectantly.

Deacon Liu glanced at Xing Qing's clear yet foolish eyes and chuckled, "Silly child, what kind of martial soul you awaken is not up to me, but depends on your parents. Stand in the middle of the magic array."

March 7th quickly leaned close to Xing's ear and whispered, "Be careful when testing soul power, don't burst their crystal ball."

Xing made a gesture to indicate that he understood, and eagerly walked into the center of the magic circle.

Deacon Liu began to awaken Xing's martial soul.

Outside the door, Meng Huaifeng asked Sanyueqi in a low voice, "What changes do you feel after awakening your martial soul?" "I feel that I have more control over the Six-Phase Ice. With the same amount of energy, the size, temperature, and strength of the Six-Phase Ice have all increased a bit." Sanyueqi controlled the Six-Phase Ice in his hand to change constantly through his martial soul. From his tone, it was clear that he was very satisfied with this awakening of his martial soul.

"The martial spirits in this world do have some merit. It's like having an extra handy weapon or an amplifying artifact," Dan Heng said.

The main reason is that March uses imaginary energy to drive her martial soul, rather than soul power, so it is naturally much stronger.

"In this world's cultivation system, you have to hunt soul beasts and absorb soul rings every ten levels in order to continue to improve. Otherwise, your strength will stagnate. You don't have a single soul ring right now. Does that affect you?" Meng Huaifeng asked curiously.

"Is that so? Let me try." March 7 increased his energy output. When the energy intensity reached level 10 soul power, further increasing the soul power immediately reduced the intensity of the Six-Phase Ice.

"Huh, it seems only the Six-Phase Ice with soul power below level ten can get a decent strength boost. The martial soul strength is too weak; for those above level ten, the boost is very small, even negligible. Although the control ability has weakened somewhat, it's still much easier than before. Hmm, to describe it in game terms, it's a slight increase in skill power and a permanent increase in casting speed." March 7 was immediately somewhat disappointed. He thought his strength would increase out of nowhere, but it turned out to be only a slight increase within a limited range.

If we define the combat power of a level 10 Soul Master as 10, and the Martial Soul increases combat power by 30%, then the combat power of a level 10 Soul Master after using a Martial Soul is 13.

So if March 7th originally had a combat power of 10,000, after using the Martial Soul, his combat power would become around 10,040, 10,000, or ...

Has it improved your skills?
If so.

“In this way, the value of a martial spirit is greatly reduced.” Dan Heng frowned as well.

"Just think of it as having an extra toy. Once it absorbs the spirit ring, it can directly gain several spirit skills. A martial soul can absorb up to nine spirit rings. When the martial soul's own amplification is combined with the nine spirit skills, the increase in strength will be considerable. However, the stronger the martial soul, the smaller this amplification will be," Meng Huaifeng said.

"Hmm, you're right. However, the fact that a Soul Master needs to hunt Soul Beasts, absorb Soul Rings, and seize the power of other living beings to strengthen themselves for a breakthrough—doesn't this method resemble the Abundant Spoils? If the number of Soul Masters increases, how much bloodshed will it cause?" Dan Heng's tone grew increasingly cold.

Although his memories of his past life were incomplete and unclear to him, they still reminded Dan Heng of the Abundance Envoy Shuhu, who attacked the Immortal Ship in order to seize the Abundance Blessing, causing countless deaths and injuries, and the disintegration of the Five Valiant Warriors in the Clouds.

Dan Heng suddenly felt less inclined to awaken this martial soul.

"There's more to this than meets the eye. I'll tell you about it when we have time," Meng Huaifeng said, patting Dan Heng on the shoulder.

"Huh?!" March 7th suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Meng Huaifeng and Dan Heng both looked at March 7.

Suddenly, a pale yellow spirit ring appeared around March 7's body!
Meng Huaifeng hurriedly blocked the doorway, only to find that Deacon Liu was focused on awakening Xing's martial soul and hadn't noticed him, which relieved him.

Seeing Meng Huaifeng's actions, Dan Heng, though unsure why, tacitly blocked San Yueqi to prevent any Soul Masters in the hall from looking towards the corridor and discovering San Yueqi's unusual behavior.
