Western Wu Empire, Dai County, Qingyang Town.

The cold rain was floating, mixed with snow foam. Hundreds of thousands of mountains were enveloped in them, like a giant beast lurking in the night, about to swallow the whole town mercilessly.

In a small courtyard of the East Vanquishing Zhao Family, a teenager was lying on his back, with a bloody nose and a swollen face. His whole body was covered with bruises. No matter how cold the snow landed on his face, he had no reaction...

"Kill!"

All of a sudden, accompanied by a bolt of lightning, the youth suddenly sat up and let out a furious roar, rushing to the sky.

"Tenside, Deathly Silence, you all destroyed my clan for no reason, destroyed my true body, and killed my brothers. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely use Wu Lingtian to kill all of you..."

The youth's eyes widened in anger, his hands clenched into fists. His face that was originally covered in bruises was twisted and deformed from extreme anger, making him look exceptionally sinister and terrifying. The lightning covered his roars, but it couldn't hide the vicious aura that erupted from his body!

Whoosh!

The birds in the courtyard were alarmed. They spread their wings and fled into the night in a panic.

"Eh? I, Liu Feng, am not dead yet! No, this is... body weight!" Hearing his voice, the young man was stunned at first, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Liu Feng was one of the Eight Great Martial Emperors of the Light Starry Realm! Not only was his combat strength powerful, he was also the only existence among the Eight Great Martial Emperors who was proficient in the divine runes. He had once established a Seven Star level wealthy clan and had once fought against the four Great Martial Emperors of the Dark Starry Realm without being defeated. His fame was illustrious and he ruled over the universe.

He had not expected that in the end, he would be killed by the combined attacks of the Divine Emperor of Light and Darkness, who had always been incompatible with fire and water, from all directions.

"Why would they join hands? Why would they want to kill me? Just what kind of hidden plot is this..."

He couldn't figure it out.

At this time, the real body's memories emerged and began to merge.

"Eh? This kid is also called Liu Feng. He's only sixteen years old... He can't awaken his Martial Soul... Master Chai..." Liu Feng could not help but feel speechless.

This was a world of Martial Souls.

Martial artists had to use their Martial Souls to absorb the Spiritual Power of heaven and earth. According to their level, their Martial Souls were divided into seven levels, namely red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, from low to high.

Those who had high-level Martial Souls were geniuses, and those who had low-level Martial Souls were mediocre. As for those who could not awaken their Martial Souls, they were useless. They could only be mocked and bullied by others.

And in this lifetime, Liu Feng was such a good-for-nothing!

However, his identity was one of the three major martial arts families in Qingyang Town, the fiance of Zhao Xue, the eldest daughter of the Zhao Family. The head of the Zhao Family had no other children. Whoever married Zhao Xue would have a chance to control the whole Zhao Family. It could be imagined how attractive his identity would be in Qingyang Town.

Therefore, the ridicule and bullying he received were many times more than that of an ordinary piece of firewood!

Especially half a year ago, his father died of a serious illness. The father and daughter of the Zhao family, who had taken good care of him, did not show up. As a result, being beaten every day became a good thing for him.

It was normal to have two or three meals one at a time!

Tonight, he was sneaked into the yard and beaten up again.

He should not have died, but when he saw that there was no hope of awakening, his fiancee did not come to comfort him. Under the shelter of others, he suddenly felt a sense of lifelessness, and then a wisp of ghost went to the netherworld.

"Humph, since I've been reborn, I don't have a Martial Soul like... Eh?" Liu Feng was shocked to find two shadows in his sea of consciousness.

Wasn't this a Martial Soul? Moreover, it was awakened!

With a thought.

Shua!

Two Martial Souls were released.

First, it was a chiseled knife with a long pole and a flat blade. It seemed to be a straight knife commonly used by swordsmen. Looking carefully, there were ancient and mysterious patterns on the body of the knife, and there were two words in the lines—the Luck of heaven!

Upon seeing this, Liu Feng could not help but cry out, "Divine Design Saber!"

The Tianji Knife was a carving knife engraved with divine patterns.

But unlike the ordinary carving knife, the Tianji Knife was also a treasure related to the Luck of heaven and earth, which contained unimaginable opportunities.

The reason why Liu Feng was able to suddenly rise from an unknown martial artist and become a Martial Emperor who was proficient in the Divine Mark and Martial Universe was all because of the Tianji Knife.

He did not expect that he would be reborn and become a Martial Soul.

"God is helping me!"

In addition to excitement, Liu Feng hurriedly checked the other Martial Soul.

If it was said that the Divine Design Saber Martial Soul came from its own body, then the other one must belong to Aunt Chai. It should be a congenital incomplete one. During the soul fusion process, it absorbed Liu Feng's Divine Soul power and then woke up.

"This Martial Soul shouldn't be that strong!"

Thinking of this first, Liu Feng glanced around and was suddenly stunned. Well? The Martial Soul had been released, but he couldn't see it with the naked eye. When he released the power of his Divine Soul, he only saw a snake-shaped shadow as long as a chopstick.

It was an invisible Martial Soul!

Hidden Martial Souls were extremely rare, but most of them were not simple.

Liu Feng became even more excited. "I've been reborn and not only did I bring the Heaven's Secret Knife, but I've also obtained a hidden Martial Soul. It's dead silent. You can start counting down now!"

He clenched his fist, and with a cracking sound, his eyes flashed with a fierce light. The cold killing intent spread in the air, and the cold rain instantly froze into snowflakes.

Thinking of his previous self, the great enmity between life and death, and the possibility that someone could barge into the small courtyard and beat him up at any time, Liu Feng didn't want to delay any longer. With a thought, "Swish, swish, swish, swish!"

The Heaven's Secret Saber of the Martial Soul started to move. After a series of dazzling carvings, a circle of mysterious patterns appeared on the ground around him.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that these divine runes were formed from symbols that looked like little Suan Ni's. The spirit energy in the air was automatically injected into it, causing dense mist to swirl. The little Suan Ni seemed to be moving as well.

Sigh

With him as the center, a ripple that could extend for several miles appeared in the air. Wherever the ripple went, the thin Spiritual Energy began to rapidly gather in the air above Liu Feng.

The Divine Inscription Spirit Gathering Array was successfully activated!

At this time, the snow stopped.

He began to practice.

Liu Feng immediately sat cross-legged, his five hearts facing the sky. With a thought, both of his Martial Souls produced a mysterious suction force, and his Spiritual Power was sucked into their bodies.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

As the spirit energy flows through his body, all the bones in his body immediately make a subtle noise. Every piece of it is quickly becoming tougher and tougher. At the same time, hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

His skin and muscles were like dry land that had encountered sweet dew. As he happily absorbed them, every cell quickly became stronger under the refinement of his Spiritual Energy.

This was the first step of cultivation, the Body Tempering stage, to temper one's physical body!

There were a total of nine levels of the Body Tempering stage. The first level allowed one's physical strength to reach a hundred jin. The second level, two hundred jin. The third level, four hundred jin.

The fourth stage was a threshold. Once you broke through, you would have 800 kilograms of strength. You could practice martial arts techniques and become a real warrior. The fifth stage, 1,600 kilograms, was easy to break the stone tablet. The sixth stage, with 3,000 kilograms of strength, was as hard as steel.

The seventh stage was the second stage. Once one broke through, he would have the strength of ten thousand Jin. He would be able to release his spirit energy to support his martial arts techniques and become an expert. The eighth stage would be twenty thousand Jin. The earth would be shattered and the earth would be shattered. The ninth stage would be forty thousand Jin. His strength was matchless!

Two hours later.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He had broken through to the first level of the Body Tempering stage!

Generally speaking, it would take at least 100 days for a Rank 1 Martial Soul to absorb the thin Spiritual Power in the air. Liu Feng, on the other hand, used the Spirit-gathering Formation to condense Spiritual Power. It only took him two hours to break through the original shackles and increase his speed by thousands of times!

This was only the simplest Divine Mark Formation!

Continue...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Second level Body Tempering stage!

Let's continue...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Third level of the Body Tempering stage!

The impact...

Boom!

Fourth level of the Body Tempering stage!

From the third level to the fourth level, it was a threshold for ordinary people. It was impossible to cross it without half a year. But for Liu Feng, who was extremely experienced in martial arts, it was as easy as poking through the window.

At this point, Liu Feng had risen by four levels in a row.

If this happened to an ordinary person, he would definitely go crazy with joy. But for Liu Feng, who was eager to become strong, he still felt that it was too slow.

"This Heavenly Soul Star's spiritual power is too thin. Every time I cultivate, the spiritual power for several miles around me will be used up. I won't be able to recover without three to five months. Fourth Stage of Body Tempering is the limit of this cultivation!"

"With the increase in the demand for upgrade, the Divine Inscription Spirit Gathering Formation is definitely not enough. It's better to buy spiritual herbs, spiritual elixirs, and spiritual stones. As for the source, you can either buy them with money or take them by chance!"

Huh? Liu Feng suddenly raised his eyebrows and noticed something.

"Zhao the Third, are you sure you want to kill him?"

"Of course!"

There was a fierce conversation outside the courtyard, and the voice was very low. If it weren't for Liu Feng's powerful Divine Soul, he wouldn't have been able to catch it.
