Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Swoosh!

The moment Lin Chen stepped into the colorful bubble, the scene before him changed abruptly.

An endless plain replaced the surface of the Canglan Sea, at the center of which stood a headless Canglan Beast clad in ice-blue scales, wielding a spear twelve feet long.

The spear’s tip hadn’t moved, yet the fierce Spear Intent already pierced Lin Chen’s brow as if solidified!

The spear ripped through the air, transforming into three afterimages, sealing off all of Lin Chen’s escape routes.

Lin Chen didn’t dodge. Flames arose on his body, golden blades sang from his shoulders, and the War Puppet form of the Inextinguishable Divine Face Technique cloaked him in an instant!

The red armor bore the brunt of the spear shadows, and amidst the explosion of sparks, the armor surface cracked like a spider’s web.

Hiss!

Lin Chen’s expression changed slightly; it was the first time he’d suffered a setback in a confrontation.

The attacks unleashed from the spear in the Canglan Beast’s hand were stronger than any opponent he had faced before.

The flawless Martial Path Will of the Canglan Beast was comparable to the peak of the Innate First Realm.

The crucial thing was, Lin Chen had learned from his master that the Canglan Beast feared no Divine Soul attacks, meaning his most powerful trump card was unusable.

The Canglan Beast did not stop attacking; its spear stance changed, and the spear stirred Canglan energy into a spiral storm, plowing deep trenches into the ground.

Lin Chen’s Golden Wing Shoulder Guard suddenly stretched out as he retreated backwards; it was his first time actively choosing to withdraw when facing an opponent.

But as he retreated, the Canglan Beast pursued, wielding its spear with an intensity like a prairie fire, each wave stronger than the last.

”What kind of Martial Path Will is this?”

Lin Chen frowned, releasing several Canglan Fingers in succession, but before the massive fingerprint could land, it had already been shattered by the opponent’s spear force.

After retreating several steps, Lin Chen sensed the boundary of the plain behind him, and at this moment, the Canglan Beast attacked again with overwhelming power, stabbing once more.

With no escape, Lin Chen’s pupils surged with a deep blue light, shooting two beams from his eyes.

Canglan’s Eyes!

The blue light struck the spear, causing it to disintegrate into sand, while the beast’s body collapsed like liquid into a pool of blue water on the ground.

Seeing the Canglan Beast’s body dissolve, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the absence of using his Divine Soul, Canglan’s Eyes were his strongest trump card; if even Canglan’s Eyes couldn’t resolve the Canglan Beast, he would have failed this time.

Is this the power of flawless Innate Martial Path Will?

With anticipation, Lin Chen looked forward to seeing what this flawless Martial Path Will truly was.

Moments later, the blue liquid on the ground disappeared, and a spear that gathered light quietly floated before him.

”Is this the essence of flawless Martial Path Will?”

Lin Chen examined the spear for a while before reaching out to grasp it. As his hand gripped the spear, a vast flood of Martial Arts True Intent flowed directly into his mind.

[Flawless Martial Arts Spear Intent: Spiral Nine Extremes.]

Lin Chen’s perception suddenly plunged into a chaotic clouded Illusion Realm, with only the spear embodying flawless intent standing majestically in the world.

The spear seemed to be controlled by an invisible Martial Path Will, demonstrating the most primitive spear technique before him:

The spear tip was like a dragon, piercing straight out with a sharp cry that tore the space, refined yet containing infinite power.

Straight lines so direct, they were inconceivable.

No matter how strong the spear’s energy, there was not a hint of deviation between the body and tip of the spear.

First thrusting, then lifting, then chopping...

Unknown how many times the spear was launched, next the spear stance changed.

Every lift, chop, collapse, and sweep, either piercing the vital point like a drill, sweeping ferociously like a whirlwind, or twisting and killing like silky threads... each extreme corresponding to a unique energy operation.

I am the spear, the spear is me.

In this moment, Lin Chen had transformed into this spear, but that was not the end.

The spear body suddenly spun rapidly.

Raising a vast Canglan vortex. With each lift, chop, collapse, and sweep, the trajectory no longer simple lines or arcs but carried high-speed spiraling twister power, layer by layer amplifying during rotation, unleashing a destructive power far beyond the surface.

Lin Chen’s breathing also followed the spear’s movement and outburst at this moment, and as the spear phantom gradually dissipated in the mist, the entire [Flawless Martial Arts Spear Intent: Spiral Nine Extremes] resounded in his instincts like a howling echo.

”The flawless Martial Path Will is truly terrifying. If I had a spear now, I could blow up several of my current selves.”

While the spear had such power, it was recognized across the Flame Dynasty that the power of the sword was superior, no wonder Senior Brother Pei, who hadn’t reached the Innate Realm back then, could still injure Innate Martial Artists with his flawless Sword Path Will.

Just as Lin Chen was about to leave, he inspected his inner self and was suddenly stunned.

In the Divine Soul Stars of his dantian, hundreds of stars had connected into the shape of a spear.

”What’s going on?”

The Divine Soul is the foundation of Martial Path Will, he had known this from his master, but his master had never mentioned that Martial Path Will could manifest within the Divine Soul.

”Could it be because my Divine Soul is somewhat special?”

As Lin Chen pondered, the interface suddenly appeared before him.

[Racing Against Time:]

[Martial Path Will Fusion, capable of merging into Martial Soul]

[Primary Martial Soul requires fusion of four flawless Martial Path Wills]

Lin Chen: ???

Seeing the words [Martial Soul], Lin Chen was dumbfounded. In all the cultivation knowledge about the Innate Realm his master had imparted to him, ”Martial Soul” had never been mentioned. What is this Martial Soul?

In the Martial Arts Realm, it was common knowledge that every martial artist could only comprehend one Martial Path Will, and then continually upgrade it for life.

”The function of Racing Against Time is to organize the fastest and most suitable path to strength growth based on one’s current cultivation status, which means this Martial Soul is significant for my strength improvement.”

Lin Chen pondered for dozens of breaths, finally suppressing his many doubts, deciding to consult his master thoroughly after leaving the Canglan Secret Realm.

”I’ve come out!”

”Was it a success?”

As Lin Chen walked out from the colorful bubble, it did not drop to the seabed but transformed into a rainbow and floated up into the sky, disappearing.

”Congratulations, Junior Brother Lin.”

Returning to the shore, Lin Chen noticed Zeng Xi and Qiao Yuan were already gone while a dozen bubbles floated on the sea, four of which were colorful and over ten were tri-colored.

Only three people were left on the beach, apart from two Senior Brothers from the Canglan Sect, there was an outsider too.

”It looks like the two Senior Brothers seem to have gained something.”

Seeing the smiles on the two Senior Brothers’ faces, Lin Chen knew they likely acquired the Martial Path Will they sought.

”Haha, not too bad, we weren’t asking for much.”

The two Senior Brothers’ smiles widened further, never expecting to grasp flawless Martial Path Will, a rarity obtained by just one or two people per generation, and unlikely to be their turn.

Even if it were, they wouldn’t be able to defeat the Canglan Beast.

As Lin Chen conversed with the two Senior Brothers, Zeng Xi emerged from one of the colorful bubbles, looking rather helpless.

Failed?

Seeing Zeng Xi’s expression, Lin Chen was a bit surprised.

”It’s not that I couldn’t defeat the Canglan Beast, it’s just that the Martial Path Will within wasn’t what I wanted,” Zeng Xi explained directly without waiting for Lin Chen to ask.

Hearing this, Lin Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed. Even Zeng Xi knew to give up, so why did [Racing Against Time] still remind him that four Martial Path Wills can merge into a Martial Soul?
