Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Enhanced Features
Editor: Larbre Studio
Although, when breaking through the Nirvana Realm, the awakening soul traits of the Martial Soul could differ. Some might even possess peculiar traits.
However, most characteristics that Martial Souls can awaken to have been documented and categorized based on their strength into three levels.
The Martial Soul traits are divided into Class A, B, C, and D, with each class further divided into upper, middle, and lower three levels.
For example, Lei Qian’s Martial Soul’s thunder paralysis trait belongs to the C-level upper trait, making his grandfather, Lei Heng, happy for a long time.
After all, the Martial Soul trait of the Wanxiang Sect’s Emperor Lei was merely a C-level middle trait.
That his grandson could break through to the Nirvana Realm with an eight-wheel Nirvana and awaken a C-level upper trait was a surprise delight. Nothing is better than one’s grandchild being successful.
Yet, Lin Qian, with his twelve-wheel Nirvana breakthrough into the Nirvana Realm, awakened a Martial Soul trait that was enhancement?
The enhancement Martial Soul trait is simply to strengthen one aspect of the Soul Martial Artist’s abilities, such as stronger soul power, a stronger physique, seeing farther, or hearing more clearly.
And this enhancement could only increase by ten to twenty percent.
If lucky, and it enhances soul power or the physique, it could at least help with combat effectiveness.
Within the Wanxiang Sect, Lei Qian knew of an Inner Sect Disciple whose enhanced ability was merely faster hair growth. What use is that?
Therefore, if the enhancement of this Martial Soul trait was to strengthen soul power or the physique, it could barely be considered D-level middle.
If, like the Inner Sect Disciple known to Lei Qian, it was only enhancing hair growth speed, then it was D-level lower, the weakest Martial Soul trait.
“It’s okay, even if the Martial Soul trait is enhancement, I believe even without relying on the help of the Martial Soul trait, you can still surpass your fellow disciples,” Wei Wushuang patted Lin Qian’s shoulder to console him.
Lei Qian, standing nearby, also advised, “Boss, it’s best not to tell others about this Martial Soul trait, or it could tarnish your image.”
“Is the enhancement Martial Soul trait really that weak? Why do I feel it’s quite powerful?” Seeing the expressions of Wei Wushuang and Lei Qian, Lin Qian queried perplexedly.
“Not weak? Then tell me, what’s the use of your enhancement Martial Soul trait?” Seeing Lin Qian’s confident demeanor, Wei Wushuang was a bit curious.
Thinking carefully, Lin Qian, as a twelve-wheel Nirvana breakthrough into the Nirvana Realm, even if it was an enhancement Martial Soul trait, there might be some anomalies.
“As long as I trigger the crimson-gold Thunder Soul Power, the Martial Soul trait will activate, enhancing my physique fivefold!” Saying this, the crimson-gold Thunder Soul Power surged from Lin Qian’s body, instantly traversing his entire body.
Lin Qian retracted his fist to his waist, exhaling a breath of impure air, suddenly punching out, striking the air.
Without relying on soul power, he completely used his physical strength to punch and vibrate the air.
In mid-air, it seemed like Lin Qian’s punch exploded it, the formless fist force whistled out, brushing past Lei Qian, aimed at his rear.
The violent sound suddenly echoed, and Lei Qian, hearing the commotion behind him, couldn’t help but swallow, turning around slowly.
“Hiss!” Seeing the scene behind, Lei Qian gasped in shock.
The courtyard walls of the hilltop mansion’s yard had collapsed, forming a circular breach.
The earth on the ground churned up, forming a one-zhang-wide ravine connecting to the breached courtyard wall.
Lin Qian dissipated his soul power, flexing his shoulders, grinning as he spoke to Wei Wushuang and Lei Qian, “Master, Lei Qian, how about it, isn’t this Martial Soul trait amazing? Why do you guys think it’s trash?”
Saying this, Lin Qian threw several punches into the air, each creating sounds of air detonating, stirring strong winds.
However, compared to when soul power was used, the strength was not nearly as immense.
“Boss, you’re not joking with me, are you? This is the enhancement trait?” After a while, Lei Qian, eyes widened, exclaimed towards Lin Qian.
Observing Lei Qian’s excited reaction, Lin Qian asked confusedly, “Isn’t it said that after breaking through the Nirvana Realm, one naturally knows the name and effect of their Martial Soul trait?”
“But… but this is not at the same level as the enhancement traits we know!” Seeing the dazed Lin Qian, Lei Qian wailed.
Nearby, Wei Wushuang also covered his face, shaking his head repeatedly, “I need to calm down. Lei’s boy, explain it to him.”
Immediately, Lei Qian explained the classification of Class A, B, C, and D, and what they knew about the enhancement trait.
After hearing Lei Qian’s explanation, Lin Qian was enlightened, then burst into laughter, “Hahaha, the one who enhances hair growth speed, how many-wheel Nirvana breakthrough do they have?”
Lei Qian pouted, “He hadn’t even completed a single-wheel Nirvana at eighteen, only breaking through at nineteen. How could he compare to a monster like you, boss?”
“Setting aside the name of the enhancement trait, just looking at its effect, your enhancement trait, my disciple, could at least be considered Class A upper!” After a while, Wei Wushuang suddenly commented.
Lei Qian nodded in deep agreement, enhancing the physique fivefold, such an effect was simply terrifying.
Considering Lin Qian’s already formidable physique, enhancing it fivefold again had demonstrated formidable power just now.
Without releasing soul power, merely punching out to collide with air, the fist force could blast a three-zhang-wide ravine, taking down a courtyard wall.
This courtyard wall was constructed with white hard rock, reinforced using artifact refining techniques by an Artifact Refiner.
“I also awakened a soul power trait moments ago.” As Wei Wushuang and Lei Qian were marveling at the Martial Soul trait, Lin Qian’s words nearly caused the two to trip and fall to the ground.
His majesty’s soul power emerged from Lin Qian’s body, and the imperial majesty swept forth.
Wei Wushuang and Lei Qian had both felt the imperial majesty before, only it was not as strong then.
At this moment, Wei Wushuang and Lei Qian understood why the room had such majesty earlier, for Lin Qian not only awakened a Martial Soul trait but also awakened a soul power trait again.
“Dear heavens, do you send me this disciple just to tease me?” Seeing Lin Qian’s bright yellow soul power, Wei Wushuang sighed deeply, “I was worried about your breakthrough failure, I’m really foolish.”
“A monster like you failing is nonsense.”
With that, Wei Wushuang returned to his quarters to continue cultivating and recover from his injuries.
The damage caused by the poison’s corrosion to his body was worse than he had anticipated.
“What master calls his disciple a monster, damn it!” Lin Qian sneered, looking at his hands.
“Forget it, better not mention the Cloud Sword Martial Soul, lest it provoke this old fellow.” Watching Wei Wushuang’s door close, Lin Qian thought silently.
Returning to his room, with a gratified smile, Wei Wushuang probably wouldn’t imagine that his monstrous disciple was essentially a warrior in the land of monsters.
Lin Qian’s Thunder Night Sword Martial Soul had awakened an enhancement trait that enhanced his physique fivefold.
However, he had not told Wei Wushuang and Lei Qian that within him was another Martial Soul, the Cloud Sword, whose awakened trait was also enhancement, enhancing soul power fivefold!
