Chapter 92 Origin of Martial Souls
"Brother Mo, why does it hurt so much?"
Ma Hongjun looked at Xie Mo through teary eyes, carefully putting on his clothes, making a hissing sound with every movement.
"It doesn't hurt that much. I've been trying to control my strength."
Xie Mo pursed his lips; he had already tried his best to control his power to avoid harming Ma Hongjun.
After Ma Hongjun made his decision, Xie Mo immediately gave him a full-body checkup. A few months ago, his strength was still weak, but now the checkup revealed quite a lot.
"Don't worry, although you may have slightly damaged your meridians, after consuming the elixir, you might undergo a complete transformation, and this minor injury will be easily repaired."
Xie Mo had just used his soul power, aided by the Chaos Divine Eye, to examine Ma Hongjun's entire body structure and meridians. Of course, this required complete trust in the examination, but Xie Mo's power was increasing too rapidly, making it difficult to succeed with such precise operations.
However, the phoenix is inherently adept at revival. Although Ma Hongjun's martial soul can only be considered a wicked fire chicken for the time being, the phoenix bloodline that has returned to its ancestral origin, combined with the immortal grade, can easily solve these problems.
"Sigh, it looks like the next few days are going to be tough."
Ma Hongjun sighed, but Xie Mo didn't detect any resentment in his voice; instead, he heard only helplessness and anticipation.
Xie Mo did not reply to Ma Hongjun again. Although he was going to help Ma Hongjun create his own cultivation method, in a sense he was also using the other party as an experiment to help him master a cultivation method that suited him.
Without reverting to human form, Xie Mo remained in his Martial Soul-possessed form, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.
He was thinking.
What exactly is a martial spirit?
Xie Mo suddenly thought of this question.
Based on the information from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, the development of martial spirits has actually changed with the times.
Long ago, beast spirits were the mainstream, while weapon spirits were only one-tenth of the mainstream.
This reminded Xie Mo of the types of weapon spirits at that time. According to the records, the types of weapon spirits at that time could be said to be comparable to those of beast spirits, except that most of them were just variations of the same type of weapon spirit.
Compared to beast spirits, weapon spirits seem to be more prone to mutations. For example, in ancient times, clubs were the mainstream weapon spirits, including wooden clubs, iron clubs, jade clubs, and so on.
Later, martial spirits such as rakes, hoes, and pagodas began to appear. That's right, according to the records, there were no such martial spirits before. Until one day, a certain martial spirit suddenly appeared, and then this type of variant martial spirit emerged out of nowhere.
According to his original understanding, martial spirit is actually the manifestation of bloodline and soul under the blessing of soul power, or the specific manifestation of a person's essence, energy and spirit.
But where did the first Clear Sky Hammer martial soul come from? Could it be that some ancient hammer suddenly became a spirit beast, and then transformed into human form to leave bloodlines with humans?
The original story states that due to the influence of the Dragon God and the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, humans developed martial souls, and soul beasts followed suit. This explanation only applies to beast martial souls and plant martial souls, since the influence of soul beast bloodlines can indeed pollute the bloodlines of surrounding creatures.
Xie Mo thought it was nonsense, which made him abandon this theory, or rather, it was not entirely suitable for the first generation of martial souls.
However, it is very suitable for explaining the martial souls of later generations, taking Tang San as an example.
One of Tang San's martial souls is the Clear Sky Hammer, which he inherited from Tang Hao. It is the result of the bloodline Tang Hao left him, combined with the influence of his own soul, and finally manifested through soul power.
Tang San's other martial soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, which is the same as Ah Yin's bloodline contained in his body.
Because the two share the same bloodline power due to a fortuitous coincidence, they cannot defeat each other, allowing them to coexist without being devoured by the other, thus creating twin martial souls.
In fact, it's not just him who's a bastard; everyone is a bastard, and Soul Masters are the bastards among bastards.
As we all know, a martial soul is actually affected by a soul ring, but this depends on the stability of the bloodline power.
According to his speculation, every time a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring, it is equivalent to having their bloodline affected once, making their bloodline more impure.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass became poisonous, and it remained so whenever he summoned it, because his bloodline essence was polluted by the bloodline of the soul beast in his soul ring.
Later, the Blue Silver Emperor was awakened when the Blue Silver Clan used their own primal power to drive away the hybrid bloodline and awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
When Tang San had offspring, the inherited human Blue Silver Emperor bloodline ensured that their martial souls would also be Blue Silver Emperor. If there was no awakening or suppression, they would exhibit different forms.
The evolution of a martial soul is about allowing new, powerful bloodlines to gain an advantage, or purifying bloodlines to break their shackles.
But how do weapon spirits come about?
Xie Mo continued to ponder, and a scene appeared in his mind.
On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, in a stonemason's shop, a stonemason was polishing a stone with a stone. As time went by, the shape of the thing he was making gradually changed.
"What is this?" someone asked.
"This is a hammer, and I named it Hammer!"
The stonemason proudly raised his hammer, and the inquirer happily joined in the celebration.
Meanwhile, in another place at this very moment, in a certain village, children are awakening their martial spirits.
"A mutated martial soul?"
The awakened soul master looked at the child in front of him strangely. The child had a strangely shaped stone object in his hand, but the child's parents were a spirit cat and a white tiger, respectively.
"Fine, let's just pick a name, Tiger Cat Stone."
The boy grew up slowly amidst his parents' arguments, gradually beginning to understand the world.
"So this thing is called a hammer?"
The young man looked at the thing in front of him with excitement. He actually saw something similar to his martial spirit in another tribe far away from his home.
"Tang Tian, what's the name you gave your newly mutated martial soul?"
A child's voice rang out beside the young man.
"Let's call it the Haotian Hammer. The stonemason who invented the hammer was named Hao, and I am the Heaven."
Another child's voice rang out, and the young man turned to look. A child was struggling to raise the martial spirit in his hand, and the black hammer was extremely conspicuous in the crowd.
Just like that year and that day, the young man was distraught.
"Tiger Cat Stone? Tiger Cat Hammer, you might as well."
Xie Mo slowly woke up from his fantasy. Based on the information he had obtained, he deduced that the manifestation of a martial soul required bloodline, soul power, and soul, and the most important element was the rules. The rules of the world required these parts to be combined and manifested as a martial soul.
Those are just materials; the rules are the machine. The same applies to spirit rings. A spirit ring bestowed by the gods is created by the gods using the purest power according to the rules.
Absorbing a divinely bestowed soul ring directly guides the suitable bloodline within the body to generate the most suitable soul skill according to the rules, because there is no addition of other bloodlines or remnant souls.
Huo Yuhao's second martial soul was to directly add the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion bloodline to himself, thus transforming his martial soul into the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. However, he did not yet know how to create a martial soul slot.
He was puzzled by the appearance of the cigar-themed martial soul at first, but now it seems that the world's rules recorded the cigar's appearance and then directly engraved the cigar's information into the soul or bloodline, thus creating an unprecedented martial soul in this world.
Staring blankly ahead, Xie Mo's gaze was no longer firm. Where was his martial spirit?
Is it inherent in the soul, or is it created by heaven and earth through engraving?
