Inside Fu Chen, Ysla was closely listening to his words. It’s not always that Fu Chen speaks about feelings and emotions.

“When I was small, I made a goal for myself. This goal was so ridiculous that I have only shared it with five people, seven probably. And, all of them are precious to me.”

“Each one made me realize what it means to be a man, a lover, a host, a child, and a brother. If I hadn’t been stupid, I wouldn’t have realized just how stupid I was and probably die even before realizing it.”

“If I hadn’t kissed someone, I wouldn’t have felt regret for not trying hard for the girl I love. I am just sixteen and I have many regrets but I am still alive, aren’t I?”

“That’s why I want to live with those regrets, and in the future, turn those regrets into the lesson I should never forget.”

Fu Chen slowly raised his hand and touched the dog’s head. The dog instantly reacted and tried to bite him. Fu Chen didn’t move. He let the dog bite him.

“Don’t lose hope by one betrayal. Maybe there are people waiting for you. Maybe there are adventures waiting for you. Just live! If you live today, you will get to see the beautiful tomorrow.”

When the dog heard those words, his mouth opened. He slowly moved his head away and tears fell down his eyes.

Maybe!

It was just a single word. But, no one was here to tell him this. No one was here to feel him the worth of this word.

Maybe they are really waiting for him. Maybe she is really waiting for him.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange feeling around him. The chains that bind him slowly disappeared.

“You!!!” The dog turned around and looked at Fu Chen with wide eyes.

At this moment, Fu Chen moved his hand towards the frozen dog and slowly wiped away the tears.

“You are free to go. Of course, if you attack me, I can still bind you. It’s your fault for trying to take this seal.”

Hearing his words, the dog didn’t know how to respond. Of course, he knows the deal with those chains. After his monster core was dug, he barely survived and fortunately came here.

With the water of this pond, he was successful in healing his body but he still lost his monster core and without it, he can’t cultivate. So, he jumped to the bottom of the pond and his body was attacked by the energy from the seal.

But, he didn’t have any monster core so the energy that entered his body just kept leaking out. Without a monster core, he couldn’t cultivate either so it didn’t affect him at all.

He tried to pull out the seal but when he did that, the seal released a powerful wave of healing energy that condensed his new monster core. He got excited and accidentally released his monster qi into the seal.

He didn’t know that the only way to pull it out was by using sheer strength. So, when his monster qi entered the seal, it scanned him and activated the defense mechanism which binds him to those chains.

Thankfully, he reacted in time and flew away from the seal so that the chains didn’t appear unless he wanted to go near it. But, there was another problem.

He couldn’t go far away from it either. So, he must stay at a certain distance from the seal. Later, he figured out that he was chained because the seal made him the guardian of the seal.

Of course, he didn’t care about that at all. After him, many other people came and tried to get the seal. He led them to their death.

Now, he was finally free. He was no longer the guardian of the seal. At this moment, he didn’t know whether to feel sad or happy.

He was free but freed by a human, a race he hated the most. But, he had already made up his mind. He looked at Fu Chen one last time before he left the cave.

Fu Chen didn’t care about him. This dog was pitiful. He walked up to Chu Yan and Wu Kong. He sat down and opened his new status panel.

“No wonder my memories are messed up. Too many things changed while I was asleep.” Fu Chen sighed and clicked on his new physique panel.

[Physique- Hongmeng Body

Description- Hongmeng Purple Qi is the most ancient qi that emerged at the beginning of the universe. It modified the host’s mortal physique into Hongmeng Body, giving it infinite possibilities for evolution.

Effect 1: It can heal any injuries the host suffers.

Effect 2: The Host can produce Hongmeng Purple Qi which can heal others.

Effect 3: With enough cultivation, the Host can learn its core abilities.

Next Evolution: Law Condensation Realm]

‘So, it allows me to heal from any kinds of injuries. Well, considering that I healed from those deadly injuries, I guess it is true. As for the next evolution, I guess I can only wait until I reach Law Condensation Realm.’

‘What about my new evolved martial spirit?’ Fu Chen clicked on his martial spirit section and a new panel emerged in front of him.

[Martial Spirit- Blue Flood Dragon (Mutated)

Description- The Blue Snake was the mutated martial spirit that has exhausted all of its soul power. But, as the Host’s cultivation improves, the martial spirit will improve.

Innate Abilities- Devour, Dragon Claw

Effect- +50STR, +50DEF

Note: Increasing Martial Spirit improves the host’s soul and vice-versa]

‘Wait a minute, this last line?’ Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and asked ‘Ysla, does this mean what I think it means?’

“If you are thinking what I am thinking then what you are thinking is correct. But, if you aren’t thinking what I am thinking then your thinking is wrong.” Ysla replied in a playful tone.

Fu Chen was slightly surprised by her tone but he was more interested in this. If what she said is true then, evolving his martial spirit will make his soul stronger.

After using the two folds, he understood the damage caused by using One Sword Art is not just on the body but also in his soul. So, even if he makes his body stronger, it won’t help unless he trains his soul.

But, then again, he doesn’t know how to improve his Martial Spirit. He only knows one way and it is through cultivation.

‘Anyway, I still have other things to check.’

[Innate Ability- Devour

Description- A self-evolving ability of the host’s martial spirit. It can be used in two forms. The first form allows the host can form a dark portal where he doesn’t need to touch the energy. And the second form allows the host to directly absorb the energy with the touch.

Effect 1: It can absorb all kinds of energy as long as it is not refined by a person

Effect 2: It can transform all kinds of energy into pure spiritual qi

Effect 3: If used together with Martial Spirit, it can even devour the energy that has been refined by others.

(Note- It can’t absorb the energy when the cultivator is controlling it using martial arts)]

[Innate Ability- Dragon Claw

Description- The host can transform his hand into the claw of a flood dragon. The skin will be tough like a flood dragon and the sharpness of the claw can shatter anything.

Effect 1- It can increase its power by using more Spiritual Qi.

Effect 2: It can tear off most of the strongest defense made out of Spiritual Qi.

(Note- It can’t destroy a weapon if it is too strong for the host.)]

‘Interesting! I didn’t get the first form of devour previously. It seems just like it is described, it can self-evolve as my cultivation improves. As for the second ability, it is quite strong. It can be another trump card for me.’

‘But, there is something even more interesting here. The seal in the Divine Sword was actually lifted. Although I don’t know the reason behind it, I actually got a martial art because of it.’

[Martial Art- White Tiger Slaughtering Sword Art
