Chapter 2 Evolution of Martial Souls and Existences Beyond Martial Souls

Su Yuntao's eyes lit up. If it is a new high-level martial soul, then the martial soul's rank would definitely not be below five.

The quality of martial souls and soul power is a mutually influential and interconnected relationship. The quality of martial souls determines the range of soul power, while the innate level of soul power determines the strength and cultivation talent for martial souls.

For example, mid to low-level martial souls have an innate soul power range of up to level four. High-level martial souls require a minimum of level five soul power, with an extremely rare maximum of level eight. Top-tier martial souls have a minimum of level seven soul power.

However, having the same innate level of eight soul power for both high-level and top-tier martial souls does not mean they are equivalent. The difference in cultivation talent may be slight, but the gap in martial power and the transformation of soul ring skills is enormous.

In the original work, Ning Rongrong was chosen as the heir by Ning Fengzhi because of her innate soul power of level nine awakened at birth. If all Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda sect martial souls had the same innate soul power, there would be no need for such a selection process.

Even for martial souls of the same quality, individual aptitude differences lead to variations within a certain range.

"Come! Place your hand on this crystal ball," Su Yuntao pointed to a nearby crystal ball, his eyes filled with anticipation.

If it were an entirely new high-level martial soul, Su Yuntao felt a surge of excitement.

Unfortunately, the faintly rising light extinguished Su Yuntao's excitement like a bucket of cold water.

"Innate level three soul power is not bad. However, as a low-level martial soul, it mainly relies on its own form and quality. Does your ring give you any special feeling?" Su Yuntao asked, unwilling to give up.

The differences between mid-to-low-level, high-level, and top-tier martial souls are quite obvious. Most entities with elemental power are high or top-tier martial souls, with only a small fraction being mid-to-low-tier.

For example, the Four Elemental Academies inherently possess elemental power in their martial souls. Even amplification, auxiliary healing, and other martial souls without soul rings still exhibit basic abilities relying on soul power and martial souls. Soul rings then enhance and concentrate these basic abilities into skills.

Therefore, the gap between high-level and top-tier martial souls and mid-to-low-tier martial souls is significant.

Only a small fraction of mid-to-low-tier martial souls possess some special abilities.

Top-tier martial souls exhibit special abilities even without soul rings. Examples include the Clear Sky Hammer, which has a weight of 500 kilograms even without a soul ring, This is the top performance between mass and form, and it will continue to increase in weight with the addition of soul rings.and the ability to soften ordinary ores like mud.

In the original work, Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Six-Winged Angel all had their unique special abilities.

Looking up at Su Yuntao, Zhou Tian shook his head slightly.

"No special feelings!" he replied.

Hearing this, Su Yuntao finally gave up his delusions.

"It's a ring with a wooden form and no special abilities... another new useless low-level martial soul." Su Yuntao shook his head speechlessly, encountering another triple zero-level martial soul.

Su Yuntao felt extremely hurt inside. Without wasting words, he left.

Zhou Tian looked at the ring in his hand with a strange expression.

"Xiao Tian, your soul power has awakened! Hahaha, great! Our village is finally going to have a soul master. I'll help you apply for the qualification of a work-study student immediately..."

The village chief excitedly spoke beside Zhou Tian.

However, Zhou Tian seemed a bit absent-minded.

After a while, the village chief seemed to notice this and, after taking out some food, sent Zhou Tian back to his home.

Zhou Tian looked at the departing village chief, closed the door, and said to himself, "I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."

A somewhat wry voice emanated from Zhou Tian's mouth.

Two rays of light slowly lit up from Zhou Tian's left and right hands—one was the wooden ring that appeared in his awakened consciousness, and the other was a gray-white triangular stone.

Two martial souls, seemingly useless and lacking any special abilities.

"A rare pair of twin martial souls, but even rarer are two trash martial souls," Zhou Tian said with a faint smile.

According to the original work's concept of twin martial souls, they only appear when the two qualities are extremely close or greatly different. These conditions seem strict, but they are easy to achieve.

In the original work, there were only three pairs of twin martial souls in a hundred years. It is obvious that there are other requirements.

But even if there are other requirements, there should be more than three pairs of twin martial souls in a hundred years among the countless civilians with low or even useless martial souls. Even if the probability is low, it should be impossible for only three pairs of twin martial souls to appear in a hundred years.

Perhaps due to other reasons, those with lower quality simply cannot give birth to them.

However, an accident occurred with Zhou Tian.

"For others, this might be just a pair of dual-useless martial souls, but for me, it's a great surprise." Zhou Tian's smile on his face kept expanding.

"Divine Transformation! Let me see your abilities!"

Zhou Tian's mind moved, pushing a phantom crystal polyhedron formed through the Divine transformation out into the real world. An inexplicable aura slowly emanated.

His gaze focused on the two martial souls, finally stopping on the triangular stone.

The ability of the fantasy divine transformation is not only to enhance but also to evolve. The form of the martial soul may change significantly after receiving the divine transformation.

The form of the ring has already appeared, and giving it the divine transformation directly changes its form, which might be hard to explain.

The source of the second martial soul gradually merged into the divine transformation.

A tremendous change occurred!

The martial soul origin has undergone drastic changes, like boiling water, increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Strong light flickered from the martial soul triangular stone, gradually forming strands of light that wrapped around the triangular stone.

The martial soul's aura quickly became stronger. In just one second, Zhou Tian's soul power increased by two levels.

"Bang!"

An inexplicable crisp sound sounded, and the rapidly increasing soul power stopped changing.

Zhou Tian's eyes widened, the feeling of the second martial soul disappeared, and the increased soul power also stopped.

No!

It's not that the second martial spirit has disappeared, the ability is still there!

The source origin underwent a drastic transformation, absorbing the advantages of the martial soul. It decisively abandoned the concept of a martial soul and evolved to a higher level.

A tangible texture appeared in Zhou Tian's perception, yet it seemed illusionary.

In the end, it gave birth to an existence similar to a divine abilitie, soul companion, and also akin to a spirit treasure.

[Innate Primal Chaos Pyramid Altar]

Chaos-colored light shimmered, and a chaotic color light slowly rose from the palm of Zhou Tian's left hand.

A pyramid-shaped stone with a metallic texture and strange chaotic patterns all over its body, presenting a three-layer structure, appeared in his palm.

At first glance, Zhou Tian felt that the first layer was also the bottommost layer with substance, while the upper two layers felt illusory.

"Decompose! It can even break down special treasures." The ability of the first layer appeared in Zhou Tian's perception.

Currently, the pyramid is not a martial soul, so it does not grow like a martial soul. Instead, it is a combination of spirit treasure and divine ability.

The template is complete, but due to the lack of energy, the energy of the second and third layers is still growing.

Like a young dragon with basic abilities, it will become stronger as it grows.
