Bab 48: Chapter 48: Transformation
"Hiss..."
After Su Cheng regained consciousness, he couldn't help but let out a painful groan.
He felt like his head was about to explode.
It had nothing to do with the additional memories. The human brain has a self-protection mechanism and won't be overloaded by memories.
It was the Sword Intent.
Sword Intent acts according to one's will, not constrained by innate talent or aptitude, naturally manifesting itself.
But with his current physical strength and mental reserves, he couldn't contain such a powerful Sword Intent.
It wasn't his final Sword Intent entity; that surge of sword power had long been completely exhausted.
Moreover, such an energy body couldn't be brought out.
This was the sharp aura formed by his comprehension of swordsmanship in the simulated world. No matter how hard he tried to suppress it, the slight residual waves that escaped still made it difficult for him to bear.
In the blink of an eye, blood had begun to spurt from his seven orifices.
In fear, his consciousness would soon be cut into pieces by his own Sword Intent.
Fortunately, just at this moment, a warm current surged from somewhere unknown, continuously repairing and replenishing his body and consciousness.
[Main task completion: Physical aptitude enhancement.]
[Main task completion: Martial Soul talent enhancement.]
Two prompts appeared.
Su Cheng had a profound understanding of the human body and immediately sensed his changes.
"It's not just a simple enhancement of physique."
"The texture of bones, density of fibers, and resilience of meridians have all changed. This is strengthening at the cellular level."
"Most importantly, some acupoints and bone positions have undergone extremely subtle changes, greatly enhancing the force and flexibility."
This could be considered a comprehensive upgrade, with enhancements in strength, speed, reaction time, and dynamic vision, to varying degrees.
Of course, the most important thing was the upgrade in potential. Although the effects weren't as immediately apparent, the long-term benefits were probably far superior to those of the Immortal Herbs, and there would be no accumulation of medicinal toxins.
At the same time, a rainbow light tinged with five colors appeared beside him, and a long sword Martial Soul manifested uncontrollably, surrounded by swirling sword qi.
"Talent domain."
[Main task reward settlement (with bonus: 265%): Twin Martial Soul Awakening, additional Martial Soul strength enhancement.]
Su Cheng took a slight breath, finally stabilizing his consciousness and recovering.
He inwardly sighed in relief.
The recent turn of events had completely caught him off guard; he hadn't expected the pressure from the Sword Intent on his body to be so intense. Even now, he could only try his best to suppress the sharpness of the Sword Intent, but occasional stabs of pain still occurred.
His current strength was too weak, and his mental power hadn't been strengthened. After absorbing soul rings and receiving medication for some time, he would probably return to normal.
Pressing lightly on his forehead with his fingers, Su Cheng sighed.
"However, it seems that even if I attach the first soul ring to the Martial Soul in the future, I won't be able to activate the next simulation immediately. It's better to let the simulator accumulate energy for now."
There was no other way; his foundation was too weak now. If a similar incident occurred again, it was difficult to say whether he would be as lucky as today.
If possible, Su Cheng didn't want to take risks, especially since the gains from his first simulation were enough to digest for some time.
"However..." He extended his right hand, and a long sword appeared in his hand. "The bonus settlement is much higher than expected; it's only 35% away from the maximum reward."
In his original expectation, the settlement reward could reach over 250%. After all, he hadn't fully obtained the rewards for the third ring, and he hadn't chosen the most difficult task for the fourth ring. Besides, in his opinion, in the end, Qian Renxue hadn't died.
After closing his eyes and meditating for a moment, Su Cheng felt his current state.
His entire body's meridians were filled with energy, and a warm sensation flowed throughout his body, completely different from the feeling when he had 0.5-grade innate soul power. Now he had reached the level of full innate soul power.
No, it's not just about reaching full innate soul power; in reality, it's actually a bit more than that. However, without attaching the first soul ring, he couldn't determine exactly how much more it was.
He then looked at the Martial Soul in his hand.
Unless there was a cultivation technique like the Mysterious Heaven Technique to enhance it, the innate soul power represented the strength of the Martial Soul.
"I didn't expect it to be the Eternal Sword."
The sword Martial Soul floating in Su Cheng's hand at this moment was the long sword form that had accompanied him for a long time in the simulated world.
"It has saved me a lot of trouble in rebuilding the Five Elements Cycle. And as for this Talent Domain..."
Inspecting the rainbow light of five colors beside him, instead of the previously imagined Sword Domain, it turned out to be the Five Elements Domain.
Naturally, this was a good thing.
The Sword Domain was his Soul Skill transformation, something he could rebuild in the future. Conversely, the Five Elements Domain, with its continuously replenishing auxiliary nature, was more suitable as a Talent Domain.
Retracting the domain, Su Cheng extended his right hand to summon the newly awakened auxiliary-type Martial Soul.
It was a formation-type Martial Soul, "Innate Array?"
Looking at the simple yet mysterious energy array floating above his left hand, and then at the Eternal Sword in his right hand, Su Cheng suddenly had some thoughts.
However, his research on Martial Souls was still too shallow, and there was no rush to develop the second Martial Soul. He would focus on improving the Eternal Sword first.
With this in mind, he calmed down.
"I'll first advance to a Grand Soul Master in the city of Nuoding, and then see which advanced academy is convenient to join."
He was already prepared to participate in the Elite Tournament of the Advanced Soul Master Academies across the continent.
Then, win the championship and use this opportunity to join the Martial Soul Temple.
"The Angelic Inheritance..."
The inheritance of the divine position was something he must continue to study.
In the simulated world, the Qian Dao Liu had some reservations about him, and at that time, his identity was sensitive and attracted much attention in the Martial Soul Temple, making it difficult for him to get close to the Angelic Assessment.
As for the other divine inheritances, the Rakshasa God's inheritance had already been opened by Bibidong, and he didn't even want to touch the inheritances of the Asura God and the Sea God.
Those two gods paid too much attention to their inheritors, and he was too weak now; he didn't want to attract the attention of the divine realm.
From this perspective, the Angelic God was the best choice.
In addition, Su Cheng had another purpose.
He wanted to see if this Angelic Inheritance had been tampered with.
If possible, he wanted to help Qian Renxue in this world, at least to let her truly have her own life.
Though he understood in his heart that the Qian Renxue in the two worlds were not the same person...
...
One month later, Su Cheng arrived at the city of Nuoding with the village chief Wang Pan. As he observed the surroundings, he patiently listened to Wang Pan's detailed explanations.
Although his exploration in the simulated world might have given him a deeper understanding of this place.
Over the past month, Su Cheng had nearly recovered his body and had also adapted perfectly to his transformed physique.
Nearby, they soon arrived at the entrance of the novice Soul Master Academy in Norton.
"Huh?"
Su Cheng's eyes narrowed as he noticed a scene not far ahead where an elderly person and a child were being harassed by the gatekeeper at the entrance of the academy.
