Chapter 47: Enhancing the Martial Soul

Chapter 47: Enhancing the Martial Soul

"You two, be gentler! Ah, that's too much, it's scorching!"

In the morphing training arena filled with solar power, Tang Yuehua was sandwiched between Qian Renxue and Wang Si.

In front of her, Qian Renxue extended her hands to grasp hers, absorbing the soul power within her.

Behind her, Wang Si placed his hands on her delicate back, infusing her with soul power that contained angelic power.

Having not endured the hardships of cultivation in a long while, Tang Yuehua felt Wang Si's soul power rampaging through her body. Despite gritting her teeth in endurance, she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Wang Si, what are you doing? Are you doing this on purpose? You didn't have any issues when you helped me cultivate before. Why is it different with my mother?" Qian Renxue glared at Wang Si, dissatisfied and suspecting his intentions.

Wang Si felt wronged.

"Snow, you were already level forty when I helped you! Level forty, and you were still crying and making a fuss back then.

Aunt Yuehua is only at level nine, and we're also trying to infuse her with angelic power for absorption. Do you think she can handle it?" Wang Si complained while reducing the amount of soul power he was infusing.

Qian Renxue frowned but didn't stop her actions.

As Tang Yuehua had not cultivated in a long time, it was challenging for her to control her soul power and make way for Wang Si's incoming soul power. Qian Renxue had no choice but to act as the ruthless soul-extracting machine.

Hearing Wang Si's words, Qian Renxue's brows furrowed slightly.

"It's alright, Snow. Just continue, I can bear it." Tang Yuehua clenched her teeth and whispered to comfort Qian Renxue.

Ultimately, she blamed herself for her own weakness, having her soul power stagnated at level nine, and now requiring her goddaughter's assistance.

The method proposed by her goddaughter was simple: infuse her body with higher-level energy and merge it into her bloodline.

The first step was to lay the foundation using the Hundred Refining Bones technique, which was easily accomplished with a single pill that put her into a deep slumber.

They were now executing the second step, called Thousand Refining Blood, which aimed to enhance the concentration of her bloodline. During this process, the involvement of higher-level energy could also induce directed mutations in the bloodline.

The idea sounded wonderful, but Tang Yuehua soon discovered that putting it into practice was not so simple.

Having lived a comfortable life in Yue Xuan without engaging in martial soul cultivation for many years, the sudden high-intensity cultivation was undoubtedly a test for both her body and mind.

"Aunt Yuehua, don't space out. Feel this power and mobilize your martial soul at the same time!" Wang Si's voice sounded as Tang Yuehua gritted her teeth in endurance.

Tang Yuehua had no choice but to persevere and start sensing the energy coursing through her body.

However, as her consciousness began to touch this power, a wave of drowsiness washed over her, and she fell asleep.

As Tang Yuehua drifted into slumber, Wang Si and Qian Renxue stopped their efforts.

"I told you it was unlikely to work, but you didn't believe me. And now, it failed again," Wang Si retracted his soul power but left a trace of angelic power within Tang Yuehua, hoping that it would subtly improve her physique over time.

However, contrary to their wishes, Tang Yuehua's body showed no signs of absorbing the angelic power.

Qian Renxue breathed out heavily and pulled Tang Yuehua into her embrace, shooting a glare at Wang Si.

"Don't say such unsympathetic things. What we can be certain of is that our idea is correct. It's probably just a matter of time. If we persist a little longer, it might just work." Qian Renxue glanced at Wang Si as she spoke.

"It took you three years back then. It's normal for Mom to need a little more time as well."

Hearing Qian Renxue's murmur, Wang Si was left speechless.

"I'll go arrange for some nutritious meals. Later, wake Aunt Yuehua up and have her eat something. Even if her martial soul needs to evolve, it still requires sufficient energy intake."

Qian Renxue continued holding Tang Yuehua, infusing her with soul power while also examining her body to ensure that the angelic power didn't linger too long within Tang Yuehua, causing her harm.

Wang Si reluctantly left the training arena.

Why was he helping Tang Yuehua enhance her strength?

It was all because of Qian Renxue. She feared that Tang Yuehua might be assassinated by someone else due to her proximity to Qian Renxue.

However, the Soul Hall didn't have suitable personnel to protect Tang Yuehua, and bringing Tang Yuehua to stay by her side would be unreasonable.

Thus, they thought of helping Tang Yuehua break through her martial soul's limits, allowing her to become a true Soul Master.

Qian Renxue also drew from her own experience of when her martial soul evolved and absorbed the sun's power from an angel, leading to the hypothesis that higher-level energy could influence lower-level energy.

And so, this scene unfolded, though it had already failed several times. Yet, Qian Renxue refused to give up, even when Wang Si assured her that he would protect Tang Yuehua.

The assassination attempt on "Xue Ya" was a staged event, and the two of them would meet again.

However, if Tang Yuehua were to be assassinated, they would truly be separated forever.

Qian Renxue didn't want to suddenly receive news of Tang Yuehua's assassination one day, and so, she was determined to enhance Tang Yuehua's strength!

...

On the eighth day since the Crown Prince's arrival at Wang Si's manor, Ning Fengzhi arrived with the Sword Fight Master.

In truth, Ning Fengzhi didn't want to give anything, but he couldn't refuse now that a Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall had already arrived.

Jian Douluo didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

After staying with Wang Si for a week, Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo departed, not because they had completely grasped Wang Si's second Soul Skill, but because they had a visitor.

The guest was none other than the Royal Grand Master of the Tiandou Empire: Du Douluo.

The presence of Ci Tun Douluo made Du Douluo cautious, as his poison was useless against Ci Tun Douluo.

He honestly paid the "admission fee": a high-quality lingzhi herb!

Du Douluo stayed with Wang Si for eight days, not because he had learned the skill, but because another Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall had arrived.

......

"Are you sure about this time?"

Qian Renxue scrutinized the lingzhi herb sent by Du Douluo with a serious expression, unsure where Wang Si's confidence came from, believing that a single herb could help her godmother break through the shackles of her soul power.

Breathing out heavily, Wang Si clenched his left arm tightly.

"Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and call Aunt Yuehua over!"

Qian Renxue stared at Wang Si's left arm, her brow furrowed, but she still called for Tang Yuehua, asking her to consume this so-called "Nine-Rank Lingzhi" herb.

After ingesting the "Nine-Rank Lingzhi," Tang Yuehua's body temperature rose instantly, and a slight flush appeared on her skin, resembling a boiled shrimp.

"Sit cross-legged and stay alert. You just need to maintain consciousness and not faint, and you will definitely break through successfully."

Wang Si held Tang Yuehua's palm, instructing her to prepare herself.

Tang Yuehua nodded. Although she had been exhausted by Wang Si and Qian Renxue these past few days, her willpower had strengthened considerably.

She felt that she wouldn't faint easily.

Once he confirmed that Tang Yuehua was stable, Wang Si directly injected the soul power stored in the left arm bone, which originally belonged to the Sword Fight Master, into Tang Yuehua's body.

The moment the soul power entered her body, Tang Yuehua let out an involuntary cry of pain.

Unlike the warmth and scorching heat of the angelic power, this soul power was incredibly sharp.

The angelic power made her feel like a ball of lava was flowing through her body, but this soul power felt like countless blades slicing through her marrow.

If it weren't for the tempering of her willpower these past few days, Tang Yuehua felt that she would have passed out in the first round.

As the soul power coursed through her body, Tang Yuehua felt a wave of warmth rushing toward her bones.

This was the effect of the lingzhi herb!

The warm current gave Tang Yuehua immense confidence, and she felt that she could persevere.

"Aunt Yuehua, don't you like music? You must know more than just the music of noble etiquette, right? Do you understand other types of music as well?"

Wang Si's voice interrupted her thoughts. Tang Yuehua furrowed her brow upon hearing Wang Si's question but then shook her head.

"I did know other types of music when I was younger, but after all these years in Tiandou City, I've forgotten most of it."

Tang Yuehua felt a bit guilty as she spoke. She felt that Wang Si wouldn't ask her such irrelevant questions at this time, so she also felt a bit embarrassed.

"It's alright, Aunt Yuehua. Just adapt to this soul power first. You don't need to absorb it; just make sure you can control its flow within your body."

Wang Si slowly retracted his hand and instructed Tang Yuehua to clasp her hands together, allowing the soul power to circulate within her body.

To Tang Yuehua's surprise, Wang Si brought out a guqin (a Chinese zither)

.

"Aunt Yuehua, close your eyes. I'll play the guqin, and you just quietly feel the music. If any melody gives you a special feeling, you can ask me to stop."

Wang Si assumed a playing posture and reminded Tang Yuehua before plucking the strings.

Sword intent, music.

Wang Si recalled some of the peerless masters depicted in the martial arts novels of his past life, those who could kill with the sound of their qin.

Wang Si wanted to try if Tang Yuehua could merge music and sword intent, thus forging her own path.

To stimulate the sword intent within the Sword Fight Master's soul power, Wang Si began to play some of the most heart-stirring melodies he had heard in his past life.

He hoped that Tang Yuehua would gain some inspiration from it.

Finally, their efforts paid off. Under the influence of the Sword Fight Master's soul power, imbued with sword intent, the Nine-Rank Lingzhi herb, and Wang Si's guqin melodies, Tang Yuehua's body finally erupted with a sword intent of her own!

Her martial soul evolved, and her soul power broke through the ninth level, soaring all the way to the eighteenth level......
