Chapter 663 The Nemesis of Insect Soul Beasts, God-Level Eight Spider Lances

At this moment, the three-headed, thousand-pound ant king adopted a strange posture. All six of its legs, including its front claws, were raised, while only its abdomen remained prostrate on the ground. It lay there quietly and motionless, just as it had when it had been waiting for Tang San's attack, completely still.

Waiting for another opportunity? Tang San chuckled, a thought flashing through his mind. Golden light burst forth from his back, and the Eight Spider Lances suddenly extended from behind. The full and heavy feeling in his back greatly enhanced Tang San's attributes, and he silently landed back on the ground. Since you're waiting for an opportunity, then I'll give you one.

Three muffled thuds erupted the instant Tang San landed. The three Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers' six limbs simultaneously slammed into the ground, the terrifying force generating a powerful recoil that propelled them like three cannonballs, sending them hurtling towards Tang San. The speed they achieved at that moment was comparable to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's charge attack. In almost a flash of black light, they were already in front of Tang San.

This time, they were waiting for the ground to sense their presence. Although Tang San's landing was light, it would still cause a slight fluctuation in power. Taking advantage of this, they charged towards Tang San, directly ramming into him with their bodies.

The three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings arrived too fast. Although Tang San reacted quickly, his Sea God Trident could only block two of them, and the last one still crashed into his body.

With two muffled thuds, the two Thousand-Pound Ant Kings that crashed into the Trident of Poseidon were swept away, no slower than when they arrived. Under the enhanced gravity control, the gravity within the Trident's area was amplified tenfold, making its weight astronomical. While the Thousand-Pound Ant Kings possessed great strength, it wasn't quite at that terrifying level. The impact with the Trident caused a hum, and the two Thousand-Pound Ant Kings were already sent flying.

But the last Thousand-Pound Ant King charged up from the side. Tang San sidestepped, using his back to meet its impact. With a deafening boom, Tang San's body was slammed forward. If it weren't for the terrifying weight of the Sea God Trident, he would probably have been sent flying.

However, the Thousand-Pound Ant King that crashed into him was also not in good shape. Its whole body was flashing with a layer of golden lightning as it flew backward and rolled on the ground. Although it was not thrown as far as its two brothers, it was the only one that was paralyzed.

It turned out that the spot where Tang San had it crash into was precisely the center where the Eight Spider Lances emerged from his back, which was also the hardest part of Tang San's back that he felt was. After the Eight Spider Lances evolved, Tang San had always wanted to test just how much defense this external soul bone, which constantly transmitted to him, could provide.

Of course, he had already made preparations. His Xuan Tian Gong internal energy instantly condensed on his back. If the energy condensed by the Eight Spider Spears could not defend against the impact of the Thousand-Pound Ant King, his Xuan Tian Gong internal energy could also minimize the damage to him.

The immense impact caused his body to lurch forward, but Tang San was not alarmed but rather delighted. Although he felt that his method of self-defense was somewhat risky, the result was absolutely perfect.

The impact of the Thousand-Pound Ant King was immense, yet despite being thrown forward, Tang San didn't experience significant shock. He only felt a surge of heat in his back, as the force of the impact instantly spread throughout his entire back. The previously solid feeling transformed into countless fine, scorching vortexes, rapidly dissolving the impact without missing a single inch of the Eight Spider Lances' defense. Through mental observation, Tang San discovered that the skin on his entire back had turned golden, with a faint layer of strange protrusions, like armor protecting his body. The golden lightning ripples that appeared on the Thousand-Pound Ant King's body after being deflected were caused by the heat from Tang San's back entering its body. Clearly, it was an effect similar to damage reflection.

Tang San understood that his judgment was entirely correct. The Eight Spider Lances had indeed evolved to that level, even if it was only at the very beginning and not yet fully realized. This was still a great thing for him at the moment. The three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings before him might not be much, but what he was about to face was the most powerful soul beast in the vast ocean, the Deep Sea Demon Whale, which had surpassed the category of 100,000-year-old soul beasts. That behemoth would not be so easy to deal with.

The last time Tang San faced it, he made it suffer a small loss by using the Eight Spider Lances. Now that the Eight Spider Lances have evolved again, Tang San will naturally have a better chance of fighting it again.

"I'm not playing with you anymore." A cold smile played on Tang San's lips. He didn't pursue the Thousand-Pound Ant King that had been bounced back by his body, but instead flew into the air again, disappearing into his Blue Silver Domain. The reason he didn't pursue wasn't that he didn't want to divide and conquer them, but rather that he saw from the synchronized movements of the three Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers that they were of one mind. If he attacked one, the other two, even if they were confused by his Blue Silver Domain, would surely be able to come to his rescue in time, allowing them to surround him again. Don't underestimate these three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings just because they are 90,000-year-old soul beasts. When they cooperate, they are essentially three powerful individuals with a trinity fusion technique. Although it's not a martial soul fusion technique like the Golden Iron Triangle, it's still quite difficult to deal with. Unfortunately, their weaknesses are too obvious. Especially since their most powerful strength is countered by him. At this point, the outcome of this battle was no longer in doubt.

While in the air, the eight spider spears were fully extended, stretching straight and evenly spaced behind Tang San. The golden spider spears, along with the Sea God Trident in Tang San's hand and the Sea God Trident mark on his forehead, made him look quite like the Sea God.

Eight golden beams shot out from the Eight Spider Spears almost simultaneously, and under the cover of the Blue Silver Domain, they instantly landed on the Thousand-Pound Ant King, which had been previously devoured by Tang San's Eight Spider Spears.

Clang, clang, clang... Eight crisp sounds erupted simultaneously. Under the impact of the eight golden lights, a series of sparks burst forth from the back of the Thousand-Pound Ant King. The Eight Spider Lances, having reached the Divine Realm, failed to penetrate its carapace with this attack; the eight golden lights only left eight dents on the Thousand-Pound Ant King's carapace.

"Such a strong defense." Tang San exclaimed in admiration. However, strong defense doesn't mean there's no way to deal with it. With a slight adjustment of the Eight Spider Lances, the eight surging golden threads instantly bound the Thousand-Pound Ant King tightly, just like eight silken threads.

A piercing friction sound accompanied by a layer of pale golden smoke erupted from the Thousand-Pound Ant King. The sharp scream caused the Thousand-Pound Ant King to unleash all its power at once, twisting its body wildly, as if trying to tear off the devouring golden threads sprayed by the Eight Spider Spears.

Unfortunately, the Devouring Golden Thread is not the Blue Silver Emperor. It has no physical form and is formed entirely in an energy state. No matter how much the Thousand-Pound Ant Emperor struggles, at most the light emitted by the Devouring Golden Thread will increase and become longer. There is no pulling force transmitted to Tang San at all, let alone breaking free.

The golden mist rising from the Thousand-Pound Ant King was produced after the Devouring Golden Silk came into contact with its body. The evolved Devouring Golden Silk not only possessed powerful penetrating force but also an extremely terrifying corrosive power. The Human-Faced Spider King's venom, combined with the toxins accumulated from the Eight Spider Lances and the ice and fire poison of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, was no less potent than the Death Domain released by Bibi Dong's Death Spider King Martial Soul, and perhaps even surpassed it. Although the Thousand-Pound Ant King's defense was formidable, it still felt immense pain under the corrosive effects of the multiple poisons. Although the Devouring Golden Silk couldn't melt its carapace immediately, it continuously corroded its body, and the longer it continued, the more severe the corrosion became. Moreover, another characteristic of the Devouring Golden Silk, Devouring, also came into play at this moment. With the Thousand-Pound Ant King's struggles, its power was being absorbed bit by bit by the Devouring Golden Silk and transferred into Tang San's body. The speed at which it absorbed energy far exceeded the energy consumption Tang San expended while maintaining the Devouring Golden Silk and the Blue Silver Domain. There were even signs that his Xuan Tian Gong internal energy was slowly increasing.

The other two Thousand-Pound Ant Kings immediately noticed the situation. Without bothering to locate Tang San and launch an attack, they quickly rushed to their brother's side, wanting to help the Thousand-Pound Ant King break free from the Devouring Golden Silk.

However, as soon as they arrived, each of Tang San's eight spider spears sprouted two more spikes, and sixteen more golden threads of devouring energy shot out, causing them to immediately follow in the footsteps of the previous Thousand-Pound Ant King and become tightly entangled.

To Tang San's surprise, once these three incredibly powerful 90,000-year-old soul beasts were entangled by the Devouring Golden Silk, their strength seemed to be greatly reduced. They even seemed to have lost the ability to escape, only rolling and struggling on the spot, trying to break free of the Devouring Golden Silk. The speed they had displayed earlier was nowhere to be seen.

What's going on? These are three 90,000-year-old soul beasts! Could it be that the Eight Spider Lances, having reached the god level, have really become this powerful?

What Tang San didn't know was that while the God-level power was indeed the guarantee that the Devouring Golden Silk could trap these three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings, the more important factor was the pressure exerted on them by the Eight Spider Lances themselves.

The Eight Spider Lances are external soul bones from the Human-Faced Demon Spider, which is a natural enemy of insect-type soul beasts. If an ordinary Thousand-Pound Ant were tainted by the aura of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, it wouldn't even be able to move. Indeed, these three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings possessed 90,000 years of cultivation. However, Tang San's Eight Spider Lances were not the aura of ordinary Human-Faced Demon Spiders. After multiple evolutions, the aura emanating from his Eight Spider Lances was equivalent to that of a god-level Human-Faced Demon Spider. The Devouring Golden Silk wrapped around their bodies, and this aura that completely suppressed them instantly prevented the Thousand-Pound Ant Kings from even unleashing half of their power.

These three mighty ant kings possess three most powerful abilities: strength, defense, and speed. While they lack any particularly powerful soul skills, these three characteristics make them invincible among the mighty ants. Other soul beasts also find it difficult to defeat them. Physical attacks are completely ignored by their hard shells, and energy attacks cannot penetrate their defenses. Their speed and strength often allow them to smash their opponents to pieces. Even when encountering soul beasts with control-type skills, they can break free using their superior strength and launch a counterattack.

Tang San's Devouring Golden Silk can be considered an energy attack, but it's a control-type energy attack. Breaking free is already incredibly difficult. It also comes with a devouring effect and a highly poisonous corrosive effect, plunging the three Thousand-Pound Ant King brothers into a tremendous crisis.

However, if it were just the Devouring Golden Silk, they could still use their speed to escape in three directions, and two of them would be able to escape the attack. After all, Tang San's Eight Spider Lances couldn't extend the Devouring Golden Silk indefinitely. Unfortunately, they were unlucky enough to encounter the aura of the Human-Faced Demon Spider at the God-level, which suppressed them, making their limbs weak and unable to escape. They were thus completely suppressed, their power constantly being drained by the Devouring Golden Silk, which corroded their carapaces. Tang San didn't need to add any more attacks; they had already lost their chance to escape.

At first, Tang San was worried that these three creatures would feign weakness like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had done before, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. But as the three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings gradually became unable to withstand the poison on the golden threads, their struggles grew weaker and weaker, and the speed at which their energy was being absorbed increased. Only then did Tang San realize that they had no chance left.

He tentatively landed, and as expected, the Thousand-Pound Ant King didn't react at all. Only then did Tang San withdraw his Blue Silver Domain.

Surprisingly, killing these three was much easier than killing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. It seems his Eight Spider Lances completely overwhelmed them. With their strength and cultivation, they were more than capable of becoming the sixth, seventh, and eighth spirit rings for his Clear Sky Hammer. Power enhancement is obviously the most useful for the Clear Sky Hammer. Once he absorbs their spirit rings, his purpose in coming to the Star Dou Great Forest will be complete, and he can reunite with his companions at the seaside to head to Seagod Island.

Although Tang San encountered danger on his way to the Star Dou Great Forest, the whole process went relatively smoothly and took much less time than he had planned.

Instead of rushing to kill the three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings, Tang San's body was already uncomfortably swollen; the energy transferred to him by the Golden Silk was simply too immense. He didn't need to use his soul skills to release it. So, he simply sat on the ground and once again released his Blue Silver Domain to protect himself, absorbing this external energy.

As soon as he began absorbing, Tang San immediately noticed the difference between absorbing the golden threads and before. Besides the absorption speed, what surprised Tang San the most was that the energy obtained through absorbing the golden threads was no longer simply absorbed. After being processed by the Eight Spider Lances, it was filtered. Although it was not the same energy as Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill, it was extremely pure energy without any attributes. It did not need to be filtered by his Mysterious Heaven Skill again and could be directly integrated with his soul power.

This discovery greatly surprised Tang San. If this was the case, then when facing enemies, using the Devouring Golden Silk would allow him to convert the devoured energy into his own without any loss during combat. Combined with the Blue Silver Domain's ultimate skill, "All Rivers Run into the Sea," his sustained combat power on the battlefield would undoubtedly be enhanced to a terrifying degree. Enemies facing the Devouring Golden Silk would also find it much harder to escape. The Devouring Golden Silk carries poison—this was a brand-new ability that appeared after the Eight Spider Lances evolved. That it could transmit poison even in its energy form—truly worthy of being a god-level external soul bone!

Thick white mist spread throughout Tang San's body with each breath, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top reappeared, a faint fragrance emanated from his body, and the six soul bones within his body simultaneously felt warm. His soul power slowly increased as he converted external energy into his own energy bit by bit.

Level 95 is the bottleneck for Title Douluo. Although the energy devoured by the three 90,000-year-old Thousand-Jin Ant King was extremely astonishing, after being absorbed and transformed into his own by the Mysterious Heaven Technique, it was like a mud ox entering the sea. Tang San only felt a slight increase, and the growth rate was very slow.

Tang San wasn't in a hurry. The difference between level 95 and 96 was often something that 80% of Title Douluos couldn't overcome in their entire lives, so it wasn't easy to improve. But every bit of soul power he gained would make his future progress more secure. As the saying goes, "constant dripping wears away a stone," and "trying to force growth" is more likely to lead to danger.

The three-headed, thousand-pound ant queen struggled weaker and weaker. Their hard shells gradually shattered and melted under the intense corrosion of the devouring golden threads. Their life force was weakening bit by bit as their power was drained. When the last bit of energy in their bodies was also squeezed out by the devouring golden threads, the strong corrosive poison also took their lives.

Tang San dared not waste any time; he needed to absorb three spirit rings within an hour, and time was of the essence. Sensing the deaths of the three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings, he immediately withdrew his Devouring Golden Silk, but did not retract his Eight Spider Lances. In his best condition, he began to absorb their spirit rings.

However, an unexpected event still occurred. When Tang San released his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul and issued a soul ring summoning to a Thousand-Pound Ant King, three streams of black energy were simultaneously released from the three-headed Thousand-Pound Ant King, transforming into black and red soul rings that headed towards the Clear Sky Hammer.

This scene startled Tang San. He had only summoned a Thousand-Pound Ant King, but three of them reacted. What was going on?

However, he quickly understood the reason. He now possessed fourteen spirit rings, giving him immense attraction to them. Furthermore, the Clear Sky Hammer had been trained as the Great Sumeru Hammer, making it incredibly domineering. Although he had only summoned the corpse of a Thousand-Pound Ant King, the three brothers' corpses were very close. Faced with the Clear Sky Hammer's powerful aura, they all reacted and, under absolute suppression, flew towards the Clear Sky Hammer simultaneously.

What to do? Seeing the three black and red spirit rings flying towards him, Tang San now had only two choices: one, to immediately abandon the three spirit rings, letting them dissipate in the air, and then find a suitable spirit beast for himself; two, to simultaneously attach them to the Clear Sky Hammer and absorb them at the same time.

Simultaneously absorbing three spirit rings was unprecedented in the entire spirit master world. Only spirit masters like Tang San and Bibi Dong, who possessed twin martial souls, could possibly face this situation. However, spirit masters are extremely cautious when absorbing spirit rings, and it's extremely rare to find more than two absorbingable spirit rings at the same time. Before this, it was practically unheard of. Tang San immediately faced a difficult choice. What would happen if he absorbed three spirit rings simultaneously was an unknown. But if he abandoned these three spirit rings and went to find spirit beasts with a cultivation level of over 50,000 years, it would definitely waste a lot of time. Luck wouldn't always be on his side, and 50,000-year-old spirit beasts weren't easy to find, especially those suitable for the Clear Sky Hammer.

Recalling the complete suppression of the Three-Headed Thousand-Pound Ant King by the Eight Spider Lances, and glancing at the Sea God's Trident beside him, Tang San gritted his teeth and allowed three spirit rings to simultaneously be attached to his Clear Sky Hammer. His immense strength was the source of his confidence. So what if no one had ever tried it before? With his demigod body, was he afraid of these three spirit rings that hadn't even reached 100,000 years of cultivation?

If it were the Tang San of the past, he might not have made this choice, but ever since Tang Hao passed on the Great Sumeru Hammer to him, Tang San's domineering aura has grown stronger with each practice of the Great Sumeru Hammer. Now, as he applies a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, the Clear Sky Hammer's own serene aura compels him to make a firm decision.

The instant the three spirit rings were simultaneously attached to the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San felt a tremendous boom as an unparalleled surge of energy rushed into his body from the hammer. It was pure strength-attribute spirit power, just like the impact he felt against the raging waves on Seagod Island. Tang San's entire body was instantly lifted off the ground by the impact, flying backward dozens of meters before landing on the ground.

In that instant, the black Clear Sky Hammer turned completely red, like a red-hot branding iron. The intense energy fluctuations caused the ground around Tang San's body to crack inch by inch.

Soul rings are used to temper and evolve a martial soul. If one were to switch to a lower-quality martial soul and simultaneously add three soul rings, it would likely cause the martial soul to explode. But the Clear Sky Hammer is different. What kind of existence is it? The supreme treasure of the number one sect in the world. Under the impact of that immense energy, although its entire body turned fiery red, it forcibly absorbed the energy of the three soul rings completely. At the same time, its own five soul rings lit up, spreading into five enormous halos guarding the Clear Sky Hammer itself. No matter how the three enormous forces impacted it, they were suppressed, unable to leave the hammer, nor would it shatter.

At the same time, the Killing God Domain engraved on the Clear Sky Hammer radiated a blood-red light, its powerful killing intent merging with the Clear Sky Hammer's domineering nature, and together with the energy of the five spirit rings, completely suppressed the three subsequent spirit rings. It forced all of this energy to merge into Tang San's body.

The Clear Sky Hammer was fine, but Tang San faced a major problem. The energy that surged into his body in that instant was terrifying, almost instantly dispersing his Xuan Tian Gong internal energy. Although Tang San had prepared himself, his vision went black, and he almost fainted from the impact.

Clenching his teeth, Tang San suddenly roared in fury, spitting out a mouthful of blood mist. He looked like an enraged Vajra. At this moment, he couldn't use the Blue Silver Domain because he was unleashing his Clear Sky Hammer spirit. Otherwise, with the Blue Silver Domain's ultimate skill, "All Rivers Run into the Sea," and the help of the Blue Silver Grass in the forest, things would be better. But now, he could only tough it out.

"Come on!" Tang San roared inwardly, raising his left hand and pressing it against his heart, gathering his Mysterious Heaven Skill to protect his heart meridian. His right hand gripped the Trident of the Sea God. A beam of Sea God's Light flowed directly into the Heart of the Sea God, instantly merging him and the Trident into one. Simultaneously, the Eight Spider Lances on his back fully extended, bathed in golden light. Tang San, relying on his vast spiritual power, forcefully drew the powerful aura of the Eight Spider Lances into his body, combining it with his Mysterious Heaven Skill's internal force to withstand the impact of the three merged forces.

Tang San's body became the battlefield of their clash. Absorbing the energy of three spirit rings simultaneously was simply too immense. Fortunately, Tang San's meridians and flesh had already reached the demigod level, preventing him from being completely overwhelmed. Every meridian in his body was expanded to its limit, and the intense pressure caused Tang San's blood flow to increase tenfold instantly. His heart pounded powerfully, forcefully accepting the blood circulating at ten times the normal speed.

A steadfast belief and unparalleled domineering aura spread through Tang San's heart. At that moment, Tang San suddenly understood the true meaning of the Great Sumeru Hammer. He also understood why his father was able to defeat the strong with the weak by relying on the Great Sumeru Hammer.

The true essence of the Great Sumeru Hammer lies in the single belief that once unleashed, victory reigns supreme. Before the Great Sumeru Hammer, there are no powerful enemies, only those destined to be defeated. Only an unwavering conviction and obsession can fully unleash the domineering power of the Great Sumeru Hammer, ingraining it into one's very being.

It was as if he were wielding the Great Sumeru Hammer within his own body. Facing the powerful energy impact from the spirit rings formed by the three brothers of the Thousand-Pound Ant King, Tang San made no attempt to guide it, simply unleashing all his power with unparalleled domineering aura to crash head-on into them. At that very moment, his Great Sumeru Hammer was finally truly mastered.

Boom—At the first collision, Tang San coughed up blood from all seven orifices, his entire body violently thrown off the ground before crashing heavily to the ground with the Sea God Trident. At the point where the two immense forces collided, at least one main meridian and more than ten branch meridians shattered. Intense pain instantly swept through his entire body, causing a layer of blood to appear on Tang San's skin.

Even so, even though he could no longer maintain his sitting posture, he completely disregarded his injuries and unhesitatingly activated his remaining energy to instantly form a second wave of impact. Even before the energy that had rushed into his body could launch an attack after being repelled, Tang San's second wave of attack had already charged straight at him.

Anyone witnessing this scene would surely think Tang San had gone mad—he was using his own body as the battlefield! Doing so would first and foremost injure his own body. However, some things defy logic; Tang San simply did it. The powerful collision unfolded once more. This time, under his overwhelming aura, Tang San's various energies were compressed and completely fused into one, transforming into a hammer shape, like the Clear Sky Hammer, which slammed forth once more.

The first strike sent the energy condensed by the three-headed Thousand-Pound Ant King's spirit rings flying backward. Not much of it shattered and merged into Tang San's body, but it still needed time to reform. Tang San, however, didn't give them that time. Before the surging energy could even complete its second reformation, his attack had already arrived.

A deafening roar erupted once more, and pale golden blood gushed out in a mist from Tang San's mouth, nose, and ears, instantly destroying even the surrounding trees in its path. His body was once again thrown into the air by the violent tremor before crashing heavily to the ground.

At this moment, Tang San's right leg quietly lit up, and a red light mixed with blue-gold light instantly spread throughout his body. The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone repair skill was automatically activated. This shows just how badly Tang San's body was behaving.

At this moment, Tang San was completely immersed in the state of the Great Sumeru Hammer, abandoning all his concerns and not even considering what to do if another soul beast appeared outside. It was precisely because of his reckless second attack that the previously incredibly powerful soul ring energy was forcibly suppressed, its terrifying impact greatly weakened. The speed at which it dispersed and then coalesced again also slowed down.

At this moment, Tang San did not launch a third attack, but stopped. However, he stopped not because his meridians were damaged or he was exhausted, but because he looked down at the massive soul ring energy from the pinnacle of kingship with a contemptuous attitude.

Absorbing you like this would be bullying you. You want to coalesce? Fine, I'll let you coalesce. But what good will it do you even if you do coalesce?

This is why Tang San stopped. His mind had completely entered a state of frenzy and dominance. His unwavering belief made all the energy in his body merge into one. The bright red Clear Sky Hammer in his hand seemed to have grown onto his left hand, with golden patterns constantly lighting up on it, as if it was shouting with extreme excitement.

……

"Little San, what are your thoughts on martial spirits? What do you think a martial spirit is?" The master smiled as he looked at the disciple he had just accepted and asked him this question.

Tang San, who was not yet seven years old, blinked. "Teacher, I think a martial soul is a part of our body, or rather, another form of ourselves."

The master looked at him in surprise. "It seems I really didn't make a mistake in taking you as my disciple. You're a genius. For someone your age to think of these things is truly astonishing. You're right, the Martial Soul is a part of our body. More precisely, our physical body and Martial Soul are twins, only the physical body takes the lead. Cultivating the Martial Soul, allowing it to grow alongside our physical body, is the best way to treat our brother. Do you understand?"

Tang San nodded. "But, teacher, if a martial soul is the twin of our physical body, then why can we think, but a martial soul cannot?"

The master shook his head and smiled, "No, you're wrong. Martial spirits aren't without thought. On the contrary, they possess their own souls, we just can't sense them. To truly make it powerful, you must first understand it. When you can discover the true nature of your twin brother, prove yourself to him through your actions, and gain his complete acceptance, only then will you gain his true recognition, making you brothers one again. Only then can you truly unleash its power."

"Teacher, what should I do to truly understand what my martial spirit desires?"

The master shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Every martial soul has its own unique characteristics, and you'll have to figure that out for yourself. I can only point you in the right direction, but I can't lead you there. Do you understand?"

……

The Blue Silver Emperor, because Ah Yin passed on her right leg bone, and her royal bloodline revealed her true nature to Tang San, allowing him to fully master it. And the Clear Sky Hammer? At this moment, Tang San's inner world, filled with wild and domineering energy, finally awakened its martial soul heart, gaining the recognition of this supreme martial soul of the number one sect in the world.
