Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 3 The Demon Blade Thousand Blades

After receiving the meditation method, Lin Yizhang walked out of the hall.

Tang San was still at the door, but the other children had already left. Old Jack was also waiting, and Su Yuntao soon came out as well.

Old Jack hurriedly stepped forward to ask Su Yuntao if he had any children who could become Soul Masters.

Su Yuntao said to Old Jack, "There are two children with innate full soul power, but unfortunately both have useless martial souls. One has Blue Silver Grass, and the other has... sigh."

He sighed before he could finish speaking, then shook his head and left, as he still had to go to other villages to awaken his martial spirit.

Lin Yizhang walked to Old Jack's side, reached out his left hand to support him, and said, "Grandpa Jack, Tang San was the one who awakened the Blue Silver Grass's innate full soul power, and the other one was me. My martial soul is a broken blade."

He released his martial spirit with his right hand for Old Jack to see, and with his left hand he lightly touched the blade, causing thousands of fragments on the blade to shatter and fall to the ground.

Lin Yizhang continued, "You can give the work-study spot in the village to Tang San. I won't go to the Noding City Junior Soul Master Academy. I've made up my mind. Grandpa Jack, you don't need to worry about who gets the work-study spot."

Old Jack said, "I can go to the neighboring village to see if I can borrow a spot, or I can go to the Spirit Hall to talk to the Spirit Masters and see if we can add a spot."

Seeing that Old Jack was so insistent, Lin Yizhang stopped arguing. After all, it was Old Jack's wish for Holy Soul Village to produce a Soul Master. Now that there was a potential Soul Master, they couldn't give up easily.

Lin Yizhang had no choice but to say, "Then let Tang San take our village's spot, and we'll see how things go with mine."

Tang San then said, "Grandpa Jack, I still need to go back and ask my dad for his opinion."

Old Jack said, "Becoming a Soul Master is a very honorable thing. If that drunkard Tang Hao doesn't agree, I'll fight him."

Tang San didn't say anything, and then walked towards home.

Lin Yizhang also helped Old Jack walk towards Old Jack's house.

After Tang San returned home, he told Tang Hao that he had two martial souls and released the Clear Sky Hammer. Tang Hao immediately hugged Tang San and told him to remember to use the hammer in his left hand to protect the grass in his right hand. He also agreed to let Tang San go to the Soul Master Junior Academy in Nuoding City.

After Tang Hao released his grip, Tang San continued, "Lin Yi from the village just now also awakened innate full soul power. His martial soul is a sword, but everything the sword touched shattered."

Lin Yizhang's previous body was called Lin Yi, and he did not change his name to Lin Yizhang now. He thought he would change his name to Lin Yizhang after he entered the Soul Master society, and change his name and identity to blend in.

When Tang Hao first heard Tang San say that someone had awakened innate full soul power, he was surprised. After hearing Tang San say it was a broken sword, he asked, "Is it possible that he has twin martial souls like you?"

Tang San replied, "When he awakened his martial soul, I specifically looked at his left hand, and no martial soul appeared on his left hand. It's not a twin martial soul."

After listening to Tang San's words, Tang Hao thought to himself, "It's just a martial soul, and it seems to be a flawed one. Even if a martial soul with innate full soul power talent shouldn't be a useless martial soul, its talent is still no match for Tang San's twin martial soul talent."

So he said, "Just a useless martial spirit." He turned around, finished the bowl of wine on the table, and went back to his bedroom to continue sleeping.

Tang San continued his blacksmithing work, no longer thinking about anything else.

Lin Yizhang had some guesses about what was going on with Tang San. Lin Yizhang believed that Tang Hao understood the significance of innate full soul power, so when he awakened his martial soul, he deliberately extended his left hand, making Tang San mistakenly believe that he only had one martial soul.

Furthermore, he intentionally made others believe that his martial soul was a useless one, so that he could avoid Tang Hao's possible probing and killing.

Tang Hao is currently on the run from the Spirit Hall, so he won't easily use his Spirit Master strength.

If his talent truly posed a threat to Tang San, Tang Hao would certainly not let him go. For a Title Douluo, dealing with a child without making any mistakes would not be difficult.

After Lin Yizhang feigned weakness, Tang Hao assumed that he only had one martial soul. In Tang Hao's view, even if his sword martial soul was comparable to the Seven Kill Sword, it would still be no match for Tang San. He thought that if he could rise to prominence in the future, he might become Tang San's whetstone or a powerful assistant.

Moreover, given Haotian Douluo's pride, he wouldn't allow him to do such a thing unless he posed a threat to him, so Lin Yizhang was certain that he was safe.

The anime also mentions that apart from Poison Douluo who acts entirely on whim, most of the other powerful figures possess the demeanor of a strong person.

The titled Douluo powerhouses who stand at the top of the Douluo world value their reputation quite a bit. After all, they enjoy wealth and honor as well as the respect of the world, so they take their reputation even more seriously.

Of course, if he were facing Bone Douluo Gu Rong instead of Tang Hao, he would definitely be killed by him. In the anime, Bone Douluo also intended to kill Tang San when they first met.

After having lunch at Old Jack's house, Lin Yizhang returned to his own home.

After closing the door, Lin Yizhang released his first martial spirit.

As his soul power surged, a long sword appeared in his right hand. The sword's blade consisted of a black hilt and half a blade, with blue stripes on it, displaying patterns of evil spirits. The blade on the half-blade was composed of thousands of fragments.

When he awakened his martial soul, he deliberately hid it, making others think it was just a useless martial soul, but that was not the case.

His martial spirit was very similar to a weapon he knew from his previous life, a sword called the Demon Blade Thousand Blades.

Those familiar with this sword are unaware of its extraordinary nature. From now on, I will call my sword's martial spirit the Demon Blade Thousand Blades.

His first martial soul, the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, comes with an innate domain—the Thousand Blades Domain. Currently, it can increase his own attributes by 15% and weaken the enemy's attributes by 10%. The domain can also evolve in the future.

Therefore, it can be seen that the Demon Blade Thousand Blades' martial soul is of a very high grade, no worse than the Clear Sky Hammer. Martial souls of lower grade do not have an innate domain.

In the previous life, the Demon Blade Thousand Blades was designed to be purely offensive. Its offensive capabilities were extremely strong. Although it was said to only attack and not defend, it did not mean that it could not be used for defense; its defensive capabilities were also very formidable.

The Demon Blade Thousand Blades can change shape and attack enemies in different ways.

If you don't know how to use it, it's just an extremely fragile broken sword, truly becoming a "useless martial soul." But Lin Yizhang was confident that he could unleash its extraordinary power, after all, it was now his martial soul.

Lin Yizhang still clearly remembered several skills of the Demon Blade Thousand Blades:

Thousand Blades Return to One: Combine the fragments of the Demon Blade Thousand Blades into a single blade for melee attack.

Thousand Blades Chasing the Moon: Separate the fragments and change their shape at will.

Thousand Blade Flying Star: After scattering the fragments of the demonic sword, it is reassembled to penetrate the opponent's defense.

Sweeping Through the Enemy's Armies: A thousand fragments strike the vital points of a thousand enemies.

Bloodbath: The rapidly spinning fragments form a tornado that sucks in nearby enemies and pulverizes them.

Thousand Blades Piercing the Heart: A thousand fragments appear in different locations on the enemy, simultaneously piercing through them.

Thousand Blade Break: After the blade pierces the enemy's body, all the fragments explode from all directions inside the enemy's body, piercing through the enemy.

Thousand Blades Protection: The fragments form a semi-protective shield with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

These eight skills make flexible use of the Thousand Blade Fragments, bringing the power of the Demon Blade Thousand Blades to its fullest potential.
