#155 - The Second Awakening of the Martial Soul

In the evening, the faint moonlight couldn't penetrate the dense foliage.

In the dark forest, a gradually enlarging orange-red phantom swayed wildly like a ghostly figure.

Following the changes in the fire shadow, Fire Dance's body began to emit a crystalline light, mirroring her shadow.

At the same moment, Fire Dance could feel the pain continuously lessening, even though the soul power input from the soul ring had reached its limit.

At this moment, Fire Dance noticed a certain change occurring within her body.

This feeling was as if some kind of restriction within her body had been broken.

Simultaneously, Fire Dance's perception abilities underwent a tremendous change.

From her internal organs to her skin, from her blood to her muscles, Fire Dance had never been so clearly aware of her own body.

Through perfect perception of her body, Fire Dance discovered that her body and martial soul were greedily absorbing the enormous energy of the soul ring.

The originally thick stream of soul power instantly shrank by half, and the swelling pain in her meridians, which had been causing Fire Dance great suffering, was immediately alleviated.

Observing Fire Dance from the outside, Fire Wuxie fell into a state of confusion as he watched Fire Dance's changes.

In his perception, Fire Dance's life force and fire aura were simultaneously surging at an alarming rate.

He wasn't sure whether Fire Dance's change was a good thing or a bad thing.

This was a scene he had never anticipated or witnessed before.

However, what he could be certain of was that this change had started from Fire Dance's martial soul.

Regarding Fire Dance's martial soul, Fire Wuxie didn't know its specific details either, so he was completely bewildered.

In fact, Fire Dance's Fire Shadow martial soul was a unique type of martial soul that took the body itself as its basis.

It didn't belong to the beast martial soul category, nor did it belong to the weapon martial soul category.

It wasn't even an elemental martial soul similar to the Fire Star martial soul.

The biggest characteristic of a body martial soul was that its control ability far surpassed that of ordinary martial souls.

If any part of the body was awakened, the soul master could even control muscles, bones, and blood.

However, the Fire Shadow martial soul that Fire Dance awakened was an extremely special case even among body martial souls.

Its uniqueness lay in two points.

First.

Generally speaking, except for the brain and eyes, which represent mental attributes, awakening a body martial soul wouldn't come with other elemental attributes.

However, Fire Dance's shadow possessed the extremely rare fire element attribute.

Inheriting the body martial soul's extremely strong control, Fire Dance controlled flames as if she were controlling her own body.

No, or rather, fire had become a part of her body.

The power of a body martial soul was related to the importance of the awakened part.

For example, body martial souls of renewable parts such as hair and nails were weaker than indispensable parts such as the brain and internal organs.

And standing at the very top of all body martial souls was the body itself.

That is, the martial soul that awakens the entire body.

However, what Fire Dance awakened was her own shadow.

This was also the second special point.

The shadow was a reflection of the body, dependent on the body, yet independent of it.

Some people think that shadows are very important to people, while others think that they are not important.

However, if a person loses their shadow, it means that the person no longer exists.

The second awakening of a martial soul is a transformation that only a very small number of soul masters can experience.

After the second awakening, the soul master's martial soul will undergo incredible changes.

And the process that Fire Dance is currently undergoing is the second awakening of her martial soul.

In a desperate situation on the verge of death, Fire Dance's willpower prompted an unexpected evolution of her martial soul and body.

Under the pressure of life-and-death crisis, Fire Dance's inherent potential was completely released.

The evolution of the Fire Shadow martial soul fed back into the body, causing Fire Dance's body to undergo a qualitative change as well.

And the evolution of the body was accompanied by powerful consumption.

Coincidentally, the vast energy of the soul ring became nourishment to nourish the body.

Life-and-death crisis, strong willpower, second awakening of the martial soul, sufficient energy.

All elements were interlinked and indispensable.

Because body martial souls are extremely rare, the information itself is extremely scarce, and the second awakening of a body martial soul may still be the first time in the history of the continent.

And Fire Wushuang, who didn't know these things, could only anxiously watch Fire Dance gradually brighten.

Time passed little by little.

An hour passed.

The light emanating from Fire Dance began to gradually dim.

The fierce surge of aura also gradually stabilized.

But this high-speed growth lasted for a full hour.

Therefore, even though the surge had stopped, Fire Dance still exuded a powerful aura.

"What a strong aura, this powerful explosive force is definitely not a power that a Soul Grandmaster can unleash. What exactly is this?"

Feeling Fire Dance's change, Fire Wuxie revealed an astonished expression.

Just then, Fire Dance suddenly opened her eyes.

Absorption of the 2,500-year soul ring was successful.

"Dance!"

Fire Wuxie quickly rushed to Fire Dance's face, attentively observing Fire Dance's condition.

Fire Dance looked into Fire Wuxie's eyes and happily smiled, saying:

"Dad, I succeeded."

Seeing that Fire Dance was fine, Fire Wuxie completely relaxed.

"What exactly happened to you just now? Also, what exactly is going on with your body and martial soul?"

Whether it was because of the body martial soul or not, Fire Dance's height and body type were different from ordinary people.

Having just turned eleven, Fire Dance's height had reached about 1.7 meters.

But after absorbing the soul ring, Fire Dance's height directly skyrocketed to about 1.79 meters.

She almost surpassed Fire Wuxie.

Besides the changes in her body.

Even more astonishing was the Fire Shadow martial soul behind Fire Dance.

The size of the Fire Shadow martial soul not only followed Fire Dance's growth in height, becoming slender, but its volume also became incomparably large.

The giant phantom exceeding four meters stood behind Fire Dance, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression. In addition, the scorching aura emitted by the Fire Shadow made Fire Wuxie feel a trace of danger.

Fire Dance also looked back at her martial soul.

Although there was some doubt in her heart, joy occupied most of her heart.

"I don't know either, but I feel that my martial soul has become stronger."

Looking at the Fire Shadow martial soul, Fire Dance had a special feeling, as if there was a special switch in her heart. By controlling the switch, she could control the current surge of power.

With a thought, Fire Dance tried to turn off the switch.

Suddenly, the huge phantom began to gradually shrink, and the intense aura emitted by Fire Dance and Fire Shadow gradually disappeared.

Finally, under Fire Wuxie's astonished gaze, the Fire Shadow martial soul slowly returned to the same size as Fire Dance.

"Dad, this is the special ability I awakened this time. It's different from the soul ring's skills, but as long as I activate this ability, my combat power can immediately increase by one hundred percent.

With this ability, I have one more amplification-type soul skill than others. Even my brother is definitely no match for me now."

Fire Dance's eyes were full of confidence, completely different from the slightly anxious Fire Dance before.
