After a while.
The black and purple ghost lights that I saw disappeared completely, and the miserable sounds echoing in my ears also disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Liang felt a current of heat generated in his body. This heat flowed through his body along with the blood, making his bones feel as if they had doubled in size.
It lasted for three minutes before the swelling sensation in all the bones gradually subsided, replaced by a feeling of comfort and lightness.
The previous discomfort caused by the shrinking body has disappeared, and the feeling of strengthened bones has become more and more obvious.
Just as these changes disappeared, the black and purple light on Xia Liang's skin had condensed into a huge black and purple rib that covered him.
"Skeleton Martial Spirit?"
The surprise in Su Yuntao's eyes immediately turned into disappointment, "No, it's just ribs. Not a complete skeleton."
The light in the room gradually dimmed. Su Yuntao released the Lone Wolf from his possession and took back the two spirit rings under his feet. He said with a smile, "Child, is your parents' spirit like this too?"
"Yeah." Xia Liang subconsciously concealed, "The Skeleton Martial Spirit should be inherited from my father."
Su Yuntao shook his head regretfully, "What a pity. This is an incomplete skeleton martial spirit."
"Master, what does an incomplete skeleton martial spirit mean?" Xia Liang was puzzled.
"A complete person has healthy limbs and body parts. A complete skeleton should also have every bone in a healthy body. But you have only awakened your ribs. As an external weapon spirit, it is obviously just a disabled spirit. If it is a complete skeleton, perhaps..."
"Ah. That's true. After all, you are just an ordinary person, not the inheritor of a major sect. It is too difficult to awaken a complete and powerful martial soul."
"Never mind that for now. Come. Let me test your innate spirit power. If you have spirit power, you can still practice even if you have a crippled martial spirit."
As he spoke, Su Yuntao handed the blue crystal ball to Xia Liang and motioned for him to place his right hand on it.
Xia Liang did as he was told and placed his palm on the blue crystal ball.
After a moment, the disappointment in Su Yuntao's eyes gradually turned into surprise, "Fifth-level soul power? Can a disabled martial soul also awaken an innate fifth-level soul power? What great fortune has Guowan Village had today? Kid. Congratulations, you are qualified to become a soul master."
Hearing this, Xia Liang's heart finally relaxed.
Perhaps it was because he had only been in Douluo Continent for less than a year, and his martial soul bloodline had not yet truly formed, so he awakened a skeleton martial soul that only had the ribs.
But it doesn't matter.
The most important thing is to have innate level 5 soul power.
Although he is not as perverted as Tang San, the protagonist of the original novel, nor can he compare to those original characters with innate high spirit power, but at least he can practice it himself.
With the help of the opportunities mentioned in the original work, you may have the opportunity to become a Titled Douluo.
"Um, Master Su, how should I take back my ribs?" Xia Liang suddenly changed the subject, "No, how should I take back my skeleton martial spirit?"
"Use your mind to retract your martial spirit, and the same applies when releasing it." Su Yuntao reminded.
Xia Liang did as he was told, and under the control of his mind, the black and purple ribs that protected his entire body like a shield gradually retracted into his body.
The martial soul awakening is complete and the door of the wooden house opens.
Seeing Su Yuntao leading the children out of the house, the old village chief came forward with a nervous look on his face and asked anxiously, "Master Su, how is it? Is there any possibility that the children in our village can become soul masters this year?"
"There is one. I asked his name. His name is Xia Liang. The other seven children have no soul power and cannot become soul masters. Xia Liang's martial soul is a skeleton. Although it is a disabled martial soul, his ribs can protect his body, which means he has a certain degree of defense. He has an innate fifth-level soul power. It is very easy for him to become a soul master. Old village chief, I want to congratulate you. Your village finally has a soul master."
Su Yuntao glanced at Xia Liang and suddenly said, "However, I have been in charge of your village for so many years, and I have not found any inheritance of the Skeleton Martial Spirit. This child should not be from your village, right?"
The old village chief nodded, "Yes. Yesterday, Aliang was wandering outside the village gate and I met him. According to him, he was originally a villager of Konoha Village. The village was destroyed by a powerful soul master, and his parents and other villagers were killed. He is homeless and has no relatives."
"I felt sorry for him, and it just so happened that it was the day of the martial soul awakening, so I kept him in the village to participate in the martial soul awakening together."
"So that's how it is." Su Yuntao suddenly realized, "Old village chief, good people will be rewarded with good. You have found a treasure. Maybe in the future, your village will be renamed Skull Village."
night.
A small hill a few hundred meters away from Guowan Village.
The bright moonlight shines on the hills, covering the surrounding plants with a faint silver color. The shadows of the trees sway in the breeze.
Xia Liang stood alone in the open space at the foot of the hill.
Leaving the Holy Soul Village and coming to the Guowan Village was indeed a wise move.
In this way, whether it is a skeleton martial soul in the form of only ribs or an innate level five soul power, there is no need to worry about being noticed by Tang Hao.
With a thought, a dark purple aura spread out from Xia Liang's body, and then condensed into dark purple ribs covering his entire body.
"A disabled skeleton spirit?"
Reaching out to touch the dark purple ribs blocking the way ahead, Xia Liang was extremely shocked. Was this rib-shaped skeleton martial spirit made from his own bones?
Probably not.
Because the rib-shaped skeleton martial soul was exposed, his own ribs were still inside his body supporting his body. He just didn't know if the injured ribs of the skeleton martial soul would backfire on the ribs in his body.
This was the first time Xia Liang had heard of the term "disabled martial spirit".
After carefully asking Su Yuntao, I found out that the so-called disabled martial soul is actually a congenital disability of human beings, with defects in appearance and structure.
A complete skeleton, in addition to ribs, should also have two arm bones, leg bones, and even a skull.
Now the skeleton martial soul only has ribs, so Su Yuntao calls it a disabled martial soul.
There are many cases of disabled martial spirits on the mainland. Tang Yuehua's Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit in the original novel can also be said to be a disabled martial spirit.
Due to defects in appearance, structure and function, the potential of the martial soul itself is no different from that of a useless martial soul.
However, Xia Liang did not think that his disabled skeleton martial soul was a useless martial soul.
The original book mentioned that innate soul power is formed by the martial soul absorbing nutrients from the body.
The higher the quality of the martial soul, the better the effect of absorbing nutrients from the body to form soul power.
His malnourished six-year-old body, coupled with the sub-healthy constitution of a Blue Star person, was completely unable to absorb excess nutrients from the body to form soul power.
Then, to have an innate fifth-level soul power means that the rib-shaped skeleton martial soul itself has a good energy base, and the quality of the martial soul should at least be at a medium level.
Since the rib-shaped skeleton martial soul is not a useless martial soul, there is only one possibility.
The ribs should just be the initial form of the skeleton martial spirit.
As the soul master grows, the skeleton martial soul may evolve into arm bones, skull bones, etc. in the future until it grows into a complete skeleton.
Thinking of this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xia Liang's eyes.
What surprised him was that the original book said that every time a soul ring was added, the appearance of the martial soul would change to a greater or lesser extent.
Doesn't this make it clear that a skeleton martial spirit in the form of ribs can indeed grow into a complete skeleton?
What's even more surprising is that this upgrade route from the rib form to the complete body seems to be similar to the upgrade of Susanoo in Naruto
