The Martial Body Bead was the foundation of a Martial Artist. The strength of a Martial Artist was closely related to their Martial Body Bead.
After a Martial Artist condenses their Martial Body Bead, some people would develop unique Attributes!
Attributes were key to a Martial Artist’s strength.
For example, a Martial Artist with the Fire Attribute, when using Yuan Energy, will carry the power of fire. With one punch, flames will surge to the sky. How could an ordinary Martial Artist resist that?
Or a Martial Artist with Wind Attribute, their movements were like a gentle breeze. Their whereabouts would always be elusive. Ordinary Martial Artists could not even touch their sleeves, how could they defeat them?
There are also Martial Artists with Earth Attributes, their skin was like rock, difficult to harm with swords and blades.
There are various other Attributes, each with their own characteristics.
In short, Martial Artists with Attributes were far more powerful than ordinary Martial Artists.
There is another special type of Martial Artist that could be compared to Attribute Martial Artists, that was… Soul Martial Artists!
Soul Martial Artists were cultivators who have awakened a special Soul.
Like Attribute Martial Artists, they gained special Martial Soul enhancements, which ordinary Martial Artists cannot compare to.
If one has both Attribute and an awakened Martial Soul, this type of Martial Artist was known on this continent as… Heavenly Martial Artist!
However, this type of Martial Artist only exists in legends. In the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, Attribute Martial Artists and Soul Martial Artists were as rare as Phoenix feathers and Unicorn horns. The appearance of one would cause a huge sensation, let alone a legendary Heavenly Martial Artists.
Li Yuanba was a special existence in this regard. He was born with godly strength, seemingly infinite. With one hammer strike, there seemed nothing he could not smash.
But strangely, Li Yuanba did not seem to possess any Attribute, nor does he have any special Martial Soul enhancement. He just has pure godly strength.
Perhaps, that was his talent!
Unfortunately, Qin Yichen’s Martial Body Bead seems to be one of those ordinary beads without any Attributes.
Because, if it had an Attribute, it would appear to have a different colour. For example, a Fire Attribute Martial Artist’s Martial Body Bead would be red.
Qin Yichen’s bead has no colour at all. Moreover, it does not seem to have awakened any special Martial Soul.
This was the reason for Qin Yichen’s frown.
He did not understand why the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl did not change his aptitude.
Still, Qin Yichen was not one to give up easily.
Because, the Martial Body Bead before him was still somewhat different from ordinary Martial Body Beads.
Even if it was just brighter than ordinary beads, this still counted as a difference.
*Huuuu…* Qin Yichen opened his eyes, a piercing light flashing in them. He stretched out a hand, and with a thought, a blade condensed from Yuan Energy appeared in his hand. He then threw the blade towards the ground.
*Whoosh!* The blade emitting white light did not stop, it sank into the ground, leaving a black hole.
“Huh?” Qin Yichen’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly walked to the hole.
As his palm passed over the hole, he could feel scorching heat. The surroundings of the hole were very smooth. This indicated that the blade was exceptionally sharp. While it might not be able to cut metal, it was at least proven to possess some kind of Attribute. After all, ordinary Yuan Energy did not have such power.
“Sharp as a sword, and hot as fire… what Attribute is this exactly?” Touching the ground, Qin Yichen’s face was full of confusion.
[It might be the combination of two different Attributes. Even with all my knowledge, I can’t figure out what Attribute this is…]
After pondering for a long time without coming to a conclusion, he decided not to dwell on it further.
Because, regardless of what Attribute it was, he could determine that this was definitely not an ordinary Attribute. Moreover, it also proved that he was an Attribute Martial Artist!
It was just that the colour of his Yuan Energy was the same as ordinary Martial Artists.
[Well, I guess this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I can use it to deceive my opponents, potentially achieving unexpected effects.]
“Okay! I need to quickly become stronger!”
After leaving the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, Qin Yichen knew how vast this continent was, and he would not be satisfied with the current situation.
After organising his thoughts, he left the room.
Standing in the Sun again, Qin Yichen could more clearly feel the changes in his entire body. He could even feel the Sun’s heat penetrating his skin and seeping into his body.
After condensing the Divine Soul Bead in his Knowledge Sea and forming the Martial Body Bead in his Dantian, his whole demeanour had undergone some subtle changes. These changes were vaguely perceptible to others, but it was hard to pinpoint exactly what was different.
Even, Li Yuanfei and Ran Rui standing in front of Qin Yichen could sense his changes.
“You’ve condensed a Divine Soul Bead?”
“You’ve formed a Martial Body Bead?”
Under their shocked gazes, Qin Yichen nodded with a slight smile.
“Your speed… it’s too fast, isn’t it?”
Both of them sighed in amazement.
However, due to this youth giving them so many surprises, their psychological endurance had already significantly increased.
After the brief surprise, Li Yuanfei told Qin Yichen about Lin Aoqing’s arrival.
“Lin Aoqing, seems like he’s getting impatient…” Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed.
Lin Aoqing had already come to this point, which means that the Old Master in the Lin Family was nearing his end. Otherwise, he would not be in such a hurry.
The Old Master of the Lin Family, unwilling to give up, had not handed over the entire Lin Family to him.
In Qin Yichen’s previous life, it was because Lin Aoqing killed Lin Aotian and presented Lin Aotian’s belongings to the Old Master that the Lin Family was handed over to him.
But things were different this time round. If Lin Aotian does not die, after the Old Master passes away, the Lin Family would very likely split into two.
This was something Lin Aoqing did not wish to see.
“Hmm…” Qin Yichen pondered for a moment, and quickly made a plan.
Actually, this matter was easy to resolve, as long as he could see the Old Master of the Lin Family.
He also needed the power of the Lin Family. At that time, with the combined forces of the Ye, Lin and Li Families, they would have a chance to advance on the Royal City.
Afterwards, Qin Yichen returned to the small courtyard and walked towards where Lin Aotian’s Family was staying.
“Qin Yichen!” Lin Miaohan, who had just walked out of the room, saw him and her eyes immediately lit up. She walked over with small steps, her face flushed. She was both cute and beautiful.
Although she was wearing plain clothes, her beauty could not be hidden.
Her hair was black as lacquer, her skin like warm jade, her beautiful eyes glancing around. Her every smile and frown exuded an indescribable charm.
She was like a flower about to bloom, fresh and otherworldly, beautiful but not seductive, yet with her own striking features.
After walking over, Lin Miaohan directly grabbed Qin Yichen’s arm, as if afraid he might run away the next second.
Indeed, since coming to Spreading Cloud City, Lin Miaohan had not seen much of him, and it had been several days since she had last caught sight of Qin Yichen.
Especially after hearing some servants of the Li Family gossiping that the Young Mistress of the Li Family, Li Lingyan, seemed to have some interest in Qin Yichen… for some reason, Lin Miaohan felt her heart drop.
