Leylin stood expressionless over a scattered dead body as his mind wandered around, while his meridians were feeding on the Profound Qi, he turned his focus on a notifications by A. I. Chip.
[Beep! Extraordinary energy absorbed into host’s body.]
[Beep! Extraction successful, Strength+0.2. Agility +0.3. Vitality+ 0.2 .Profound Qi + 0.4!”]
[Beep! Threshold of innate Martial Spirit reached breaking through to next stage! Proceed or not!]
Leylin looked at the forest from where a rustling boom echoed along with clear moment of various figures racing towards his position.
“Proceed!”
Closing his eyes, Leylin didn’t bother to hide or run because he knew that his body has already surpassed the range of constitution a normal Nascent realm Warrior would have, this would not effect him much and even if he did encounter any problem, he can easily retreat.
Leylin could feel a surge of power was changing his blood and flesh. He operated his Profound Qi in the Big Circulation.
Just a moment later, Leylin found that that devour energy had all gone into his body, thus he began to practise his Petrification Martial Spirit.
As he thought about it, his bare arms hardened, and gradually they turned into dark brown.
Dark brown!
Leylin opened his eyes abruptly, which were as bright as stars. He looked in amusement and carefully examined his arms.
“The evolution of the Petrification Martial Spirit… it’s pretty amazing considering how I have only focused on my Immortal Martial Spirit and Body stats so far. Currently with my strength stat, it’s defensive ability is similar to my Rank 1 innate Spell —Kemoyin Scales.”
He understand that the power garnered through his devour system and processed by his meridians could not only operate the Profound Qi, but also increase it by levels.
The Martial Spirit only increases with the advancement in martial levels. It will be enhanced only with the progresion to higher level.
This was to say, one would have a breakthrough in his Martial Spirit only when he enhanced from Elementary Level to Nascent Level, or from Nascent Level to Human Level, and so on.
The small progress from the First Sky of Nascent Level to the Second Sky wouldn’t change the Martial Spirit a bit.
Only the progress across levels could develop the Martial Spirit!
However there were exceptions!
The Martial Spirit didn’t increase with every advancement of a level. Sometimes, it only increased when the warrior progressed by two or three levels!
For example, the progress of Berkan Lenoir’s Petrification Martial Spirit consisted of four stages.
A descendant of Lenoir Family who inherited Petrification Martial Spirit, would show grey skin about ten days after his birth, which meant the First Stage.
If this guy was diligent in training Martial Arts and reached the Human Level, the Petrification Martial Spirit would develop and his skin would turn dark brown, which was the Second Stage.
Once he got to the Earth Level, the skin would grow green with the advancement in Martial Skill, which meant the Third Stage.
If one was genius enough to get to the Sky Level, the Martial Skill would reach the pinnacle and the skin would turn purple, which would be the Fourth Stage!
The Petrification Martial Spirit of the Lenoir Family strengthened only with every two levels and then changed one’s skin color.
Everytime the Petrification Martial Spirit changed and progressed to a higher state, one’s muscles’ defensive power would increase by several times!
When the Petrification Martial Spiritl was at First Stage, one could easily defend against human fists and attacks infused with Profound Qi to a level.
When it reached the Second Stage and the skin turned dark brown, the defensive power would increase by many times, and one could not only defend against the strong attacks from Profound Qi, but could also safegaurd attacks from average weapons.
In this stage, Leylin is an exception because his unprotected physical ability is insanely high, even a normal blade cannot penetrate his skins despite him standing still.
Usually it is at the green skin of Stage Three had a much stronger defensive power! Weapons could hardly penetrate one’s body, and at the same time, one’s body would still unbelievably be agile and flexible!
As it reached Stage Four, the body would turn purple and wouldn’t be injured by anything, not even by water, fire, or any mysterious tricks. The body would become emormously powerful and agile.
Initally, if the descendant of Lenoir Family was at Elementary or Nascent Level, his Petrification Martial Spirit would stay at Stage One. It wouldn’t advance until he broke to Human Level. The stage of this Martial Spirit advanced only with the increase of one’s level.
Other Martial Spirits on the Grace Mainland were all the same as Petrification: they increase along with the advancing of one’s level. But some magical pills could change the rules, and help the Martial Spirit increase cross levels.
On the Grace Mainland, these magical pills obviously existed, just not in a barren land like the Fire Empire, the God-blessed Empire and the Merchant Union where warriors had merely heard of these. The real pills hadn’t been beheld by anybody.
However, the power from his meridians and devour system can broken these rules!
That magical power could not only awaken the Martial Spirit, but also increase the Martial Spirit through stages!
Leylin examined his arms which had turned dark brown but underneath had an almost unnoticeable mixed layer of grey after petrification, which would happen only to a warrior of Human Level from the Lenoir Family.
This was apparently the Second Stage of Petrification! But Leylin knew that’s it’s power was definitely not weaker than the Third Stage!
This means his Martial Spirit can be enhanced to a level higher while showcasing powers one level higher than even that! He might achieve the Fourth Stage much easier and sturdier than others.
Being impervious to either weapon or water, the body would not turn stiff, but become more agile, being able to defend against all kinds of attacks.
At the thought of power of Stage Four of Petrification, Leylin was pleased that he had gained something precious.This ability was obviously Martial Spirit too, which helped him purify the Profound Qi in his meridians.
Leylin was extremely intrigued by the stranger yet great combination of the mysterious Martial Spirit and devour system which was able to absorb Profound Qi from the dead, his devour system which can purify and reapply it. It can also alter it into alive magical power in meridians, and awaken and increase other Martial Spirits…
Leylin’s dark eyes were sparkling like stars.
Standing there silently, he knew that when he trained hard with the help of this amazing Martial Spirit, he would be a terrible existence on the Grace Mainland!
…
Bernard, Dark World Emissary and Wilde Dunn along with the group,showed up as expected.
Bernard and the Crescent Emissary didn’t even take Leylin seriously after a single glance but Wilde on the other hand was extremely serious after a nod of acknowledgement from Mary.
Narrowing his eyes, Crescent Emissary raised his head and examined Leylin. Then he shook his head disappointedly, “A young kid! Of the Nascent Realm at most! Tell me why did you kill this warrior, your interruption has lead up to a great loss and possible trouble for us.”
“Hahaha… You don’t need to worry, weakling! No one is hiding here to ambush you while I act as a bait.” Leylin chuckled immediately exposing Crescent Emissary who was darting his eyes all around the forest trying to find Leylin partners, he was definitely not sure that Leylin was alone.
After listening to what Leylin said, Crescent Emissary eyes turned cold as turned his sight away from Leylin and walked away with his voice, “Sir Dunn, if I am not wrong he’s your target. You should deal with him soon as we need to capture my target as well!”
Wilde nodded, his hands behind his back as he stomped on the ground mightily, as his leg stuck deep in the earth. “Kid, You have dared to make a move against us, this is your wrong doing. I am sure you must have some ways to protect yourself but against multiple warriors at Nascent Realm and us three Disaster Realm, you have no other option. Immediately surrender and I would rethink about your punishment.”
“Uncle…!” Mary tired to protest staring at Leylin hatefully but Wilde shut her down glaring at Leylin.
“A good proposition, but I would have to reject. To tell you the truth I would actually like to test how strong you really are to be so arrogant before me. ” Leylin replied with indifference and calmness in his eyes. His words ranged through the forest and the interest in his eyes sparkled, he was really interested to witness the skills of these highest rank warrior he have seen so far.
Before the group can retort Leylin jumped at once without any warning, and the Dark lightning armor enveloped his body but it had a dark brown glimpse indicating his Petrification Martial Spirit new level.
“Bang!” Leylin stood ten metres away in front of Wilde, raised his hands and waved at Kinmo, “Come, I won’t use any weapons against you!”
“Hey kid, you’re rather audacious!” Wilde eyes narrowed with a dangerous glit. With vicious eyes, he rushed toward Leylin at once.
All of a sudden, Wilde’s hands swelled and blue lighting crackled on his fists. Huge thunder flashed as a lighting storm enveloped the area before him. All his fists strikes were so heavy handed that they were making a ‘swish’ sound in the air. His aggressive assault created numerous images of the lighting fists.
After five steps, there appeared various vicious scorching lighting rays ahead of Leylin.
“[Ravage Flash]!”
Leylin narrowed his eyes which flashed with a blue light and began to operate his Profound Qi calmly, clearing his mind of any other thoughts. There was only the light flash images in his eyes.
“A.I. Chip! Establish Task! Analyse the opponent’s strength and the surroundings to come up with the best plan to evade the attack and maneuver the trap!”
[Task Establishing. Beginning analysis.]
[According to the target’s reactions, there is a 99.98% probability that the first attack will be the Host’s right side! Most Effective method of combating this: Sidestep, Jumping roll 75° of the attack pattern!] Following the voice of the A.I. Chip, the blue rays of light in his retina had already formed an image of Wilde.
“Bang!”
Leylin’s eyes, ears and body suddenly got much more sensitive than before. All of the surroundings grew much clearer. Gazing at Wilde, he could remotely sense the speed and rate at which his Profound Qi generated lighting attack flew in his arm.
The lighting slash images which had pervaded the air disappeared in an instant, and the air got clearer. Only Wilde waving fists and his vicious cunning eyes were left in his eyes. Furthermore, he could even see the path his future attack would be traversing.
After taking a deep breath, Leylin snorted and his arms contracted and bulged at a speed which could be seen by naked eye. Soon his arms were twined with vague, white smoke wrapped by the lighting armor.
‘What kind of skill is this? or perhaps a Martial Spirit? Either case, it could be useful for our Dunn Family, if possible I must get this kid alive and pry open his secret.’ Wilde thought and at the same time, from his neck, his skin began to electrify into a changed state, which looked as imposing and dangerous.
Bright light spilled from his skin and covered all of his robust body.
Wilde’s fists, with the power to shatter rocks, struck toward Leylin’s chest.
The [Dark Light Shield] which formed the outer layer of his armour twisted, and after being struck by Wilde’s iron fists, it turned into dark light spots, exploding in an instant. Wilde’s fists went through the [Dark Light Shield], though with less power, and was about to struck Leylin’s chest heavily but amazingly enough he disappeared leaving behind only a flash of dark light in the wake.
“Bang!”
“Now!”
