Chen Xiaojun pondered for a long time, his gaze sharp as a knife: "I'm afraid it's far more than that."

"That 'Great Sumeru Hammer' can also... materialize and enlarge the Haotian Hammer?"

Tang Yuchen looked puzzled: "The Martial Soul gets bigger? The Martial Soul True Body can make the Martial Soul bigger, that's not surprising, is it?"

Chen Xiaojun noticed the confusion in his eyes and understood immediately—this was precisely where the limitation of thinking lay.

He needs to guide Tang Yuchen to break free from "habitual cognition".

Chen Xiaojun gently pointed out, "You're all too used to the existence of the 'Martial Soul True Body' to the point that you've overlooked the monstrous nature of the 'Great Sumeru Hammer'."

Tang Yuchen raised an eyebrow: "I would like to hear the details. Please enlighten me, young master."

"The True Form of the Martial Soul," Chen Xiaojun's voice was steady and clear, carrying a penetrating insight, "is regarded by all Soul Masters as the fundamental basis for comprehensive enhancement."

"But this ordinariness is precisely its greatest extraordinary feature!"

“Think about it carefully,” Chen Xiaojun guided Tang Yuchen to think more deeply, “In the conventional soul skill system of soul masters, low-level soul rings can sometimes provide attribute enhancements.”

“However!” he emphasized, “As the age of the spirit ring increases, the talent skills derived from high-level spirit beasts—especially the powerful spirit skills brought by the eighth and ninth spirit rings—have almost no pure amplification ability.”

"The root cause is that the innate abilities of soul beasts rarely include a comprehensive improvement of their overall attributes. They are not good at this, or it may be due to limitations in their energy level."

Chen Xiaojun's gaze was intense: "Then the same applies to seventh soul skills of the same age. Therefore, the Martial Soul True Body is a unique and enormous 'exception' under the rules of heaven and earth!"

"It ignores the limitations of spirit ring age and spirit beast type. All spirit masters will inevitably and uniquely obtain this ability after reaching level 70. It provides the stability of the basic form, a significant leap in all attributes (though not to the extreme), and the ability to make the spirit gigantic, or even materialize!"

"This ability is universally applicable, but it is precisely because of its universality that it has affected countless Soul Masters, including yourself,"

Chen Xiaojun looked at Tang Yuchen and said, "Everyone takes it for granted and ignores its hidden rule-level essence and its high degree of abnormality in the soul skill system!"

"What it conceals is that its essence is a rule-level ability that transcends the talents of soul beasts and is almost a law of heaven and earth directly bestowed upon the soul master. This set of rule-level template abilities... this is a divine skill!"

Chen Xiaojun thought to himself, "In the Daoist arts of Blue Star in my previous life, this is more like the most primitive, basic, and even incomplete version of supernatural powers such as 'Dharma Form' or 'Heaven and Earth Manifestations.' Although its power is limited, it touches upon a trace of the origin of the laws."

Then, Chen Xiaojun continued to explain: "Let's talk about the 'enlargement' brought about by the ordinary Martial Soul True Body."

"Imagine it!" He gestured, trying to convey the absolute visual crushing power: "When someone else's Martial Soul True Body is just a basic enlargement and power enhancement, as big as a mammoth, although it is shocking, it is still in the category of giant beasts."

“But what the Great Sumeru Hammer does…” His voice suddenly turned serious, containing a powerful shock: “It’s not merely about condensing power or creating a destructive burst like exploding rings! Its greater terror lies in—”

"On this 'Martial Soul True Body,' which is endowed by the rules of heaven and earth and represents a strengthening of form, it has undergone an unprecedented and far more powerful shaping and secondary amplification!"

"What you mean, young master..." Tang Yuchen's voice was hoarse, "is that the enlargement of an ordinary martial soul true form is like turning an ant into a jackal; while the extreme size of the Great Sumeru Hammer is like turning an ant... into a mountain?!"

"We are too familiar with the existence of the 'Martial Soul True Body' to see through the revolutionary significance of the 'Great Sumeru Hammer' in shaping its form? Is this a case of being too close to the situation to see clearly?"

“That’s right.” Chen Xiaojun nodded.

He stared at Tang Yuchen, each word like a heavy hammer striking an anvil: "This is precisely why it transcends all understanding of soul skills—it didn't create new rules, but instead took the crude, underlying laws of 'Martial Soul True Body' as its embryo, and thoroughly, breaking through its incomplete shackles, completed and ultimately evolved it!" "It expanded the form of the Clear Sky Hammer to a terrifying scale, like a mountain that blots out the sky, giving a hammer a physical oppressive feeling comparable to a mountain peak!"

"This absolute qualitative change in size has completely overturned the common sense limits of 'Martial Soul Form'!"

Tang San's exploding rings can transform the Clear Sky Hammer into a solid Clear Sky Hammer at least five or six hundred meters long, truly capable of splitting rocks and shattering mountains.

A captivating light flashed in Chen Xiaojun's eyes: "It gave the Clear Sky Hammer a physical size that briefly approached that of a divine creation—this is the most breathtaking and truly 'abnormal' essence!"

The exploding ring is a terrifying source of kinetic energy, and the Great Sumeru Hammer, which possesses this attack template, is the foundation of its abnormality.

Tang Yuchen's pupils contracted slightly, and the cognitive barriers he had taken for granted in the past were completely shattered.

He had never so clearly compared the vast difference in size between the "Basic Martial Soul True Form" and the "Ultimate State of the Great Sumeru Hammer".

This absolute dominance in volume, this absolute difference in size, has transcended the category of "increase," and is even a complete and infinite transformation that breaks the rules.

The seventh soul skill is not just an ordinary "growth," but rather the only bridge between heaven and earth to the supreme form.

The Great Sumeru Hammer forged this "bridge" itself into a road leading to heaven.

"So...I see!"

"Those who are involved in the game can hardly see the world beyond the mountains..." Tang Yuchen sighed in realization, then suddenly looked up: "Then, the 'Great Kunlun Hammer' of my clan carries the 'Mountain-Transforming Giant Hammer'?"

"By the same logic..." Chen Xiaojun's gaze was as deep as an abyss: "Since the 'Great Sumeru Hammer' can push the 'Martial Soul True Form' of its Clear Sky Hammer to a mythical scene of the laws of heaven and earth..."

"Then the Kunlun Hammer, which is its counterpart and rival, is probably not just covered by a single layer of power."

"Instead, it uses the backbone of the earth as its bones and the power of the nine heavens as its soul, profoundly reshaping and ultimately sublimating the basic form and rules of the Xuanhuang Hammer's 'Martial Soul True Body,' completely completing and shaping it on the material level into a true, immortal mountain that can shatter mountains and support the sky!"

Tang Yuchen remained silent, his gaze unfocused and distant, as if he were lost in thought.

He may never have the chance to see such a family heirloom skill in his lifetime.

Silence descended once more.

Looking at the shimmering water, Chen Xiaojun finally asked the last question, the one that touched his deepest secrets: "Master Tang... have you ever heard of... the names 'Mount Sumeru' and 'Mount Kunlun'?"

"Ah, what did you say, young master?" Tang Yuchen came back to his senses.

His eldest son, Tie Fu'er, who had been listening intently and barely daring to breathe, said, "Master, the young master said, have you ever heard of Mount Sumeru and Mount Kunlun?"

"Are there really two mountains?" Tang Yuchen blurted out. "I don't know where you heard that, young master, or if it's related to the ruins."

He thought about it carefully for a moment, but ultimately shook his head: "It's a very unfamiliar name, I've never heard of it before."

Chen Xiaojun silently lowered his eyes, suppressing the surging thoughts into the deepest fog of his heart.
