"Why? Why is this happening?"
Yun Chuan felt a bit disheartened, looking at the formidable Clear Sky Hammer still embedded in the ground as if it had taken root. Even with the added Strength attribute and the physical enhancements from the Soul Ring, he still couldn't lift this little hammer with all its special effects!
Furthermore, based on the enhanced attributes of the hammer after the Soul Ring was added, it seemed to have gotten even heavier!
"My god, it was already heavy to begin with. And now, after adding a Soul Ring, it's getting even heavier... Just one Soul Ring and it's like this. What about the other eight? When will I ever be able to lift this hammer?" Yun Chuan was speechless. What a bizarre Martial Soul! He couldn't even wield his own Martial Soul?!
What would it take for him to truly lift this hammer??? Oh, heavens! Could someone give me a hint? ...
At this moment, Bibi Dong, seeing that he had successfully absorbed the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, walked over. Observing Yun Chuan still struggling with the hammer, she asked with concern, "Chuan'er, what's wrong? Do you feel unwell? Didn't you already absorb the Soul Ring?"
"Mom, I'm fine. It's just..." Yun Chuan's expression was a bit troubled.
"Chuan, can you lift the hammer now that you've absorbed the Soul Ring? What's your Soul Skill?" Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo asked the most crucial questions.
"The hammer seems even heavier after absorbing the Soul Ring. I used all my strength, but I still can't lift it." Yun Chuan looked distressed, sighing, "As for Soul Skills... it seems I don't have any."
"What?! How could there be no Soul Skills?" Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo found it hard to understand.
"Chuan'er, what exactly is going on?" Bibi Dong didn't react with the same alarm as Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. Instead, she knelt down, speaking softly and patiently, asking for an explanation.
"My Clear Sky Hammer… it's strange!"
Yun Chuan was full of confusion, searching through the knowledge he had learned in his mind as he explained, "It's not like a normal Martial Soul, where Soul Skills are born after attaching Soul Rings. For this hammer, Soul Skills are more like something extra. Attaching Soul Rings doesn't give it any Soul Skills. It only makes it stronger! It's a bit like the Nine Hearts Ruyi, which only has one Soul Skill no matter how many Soul Rings are attached.
But it's also a bit different. This hammer itself doesn't come with any Soul Skills. It only has the four basic attributes: Light, Lightning, Flame, and Strength. After attaching Soul Rings, these four basic attributes will all be enhanced!"
"That doesn't sound bad," Chrysanthemum Douluo analyzed after listening. "Your Martial Soul itself possesses four attributes, which is an extremely rare phenomenon. This means that when you wield the hammer, in addition to the destructive power of the hammer itself, you will also inflict damage with multiple attributes on your enemies. Although you can't gain Soul Skills after attaching Soul Rings, you can only enhance these four attributes. But in terms of destructive power alone, the more Soul Rings you attach, the more powerful your Martial Soul will become!
From this point of view, your hammer Martial Soul is suitable for a pure attribute path. For your hammer Martial Soul, those extra Soul Skills are just flashy and not practical."
"That's true," Ghost Douluo, who was on the side, also nodded and analyzed, "So-called pure attribute Soul Masters are those whose abilities from all attached Soul Rings are of a single attribute, such as Strength, Speed, Defense, and so on. Taking one aspect of an attribute to the extreme, the combat power will be far more powerful than ordinary Soul Masters. Although they are not as versatile as ordinary Soul Masters, the flaws are not enough to hide the jade. Giving up versatility and focusing on one attribute will result in strength far beyond Soul Masters of the same level. Some pure Strength Soul Masters at level eighty are enough to be comparable to level ninety!
You said your Martial Soul will only increase its power after attaching Soul Rings?
"Looking at it this way, your hammer Martial Soul is simply born to be a pure attribute Soul Master!"
Hearing the two Douluo say this, Yun Chuan also realized something. He discovered that his supreme Clear Sky Hammer was simply a naturally pure attribute Martial Soul! Although attaching Soul Rings wouldn't produce Soul Skills, each Soul Ring would only enhance the power of the Martial Soul itself!
But this Martial Soul characteristic of his was simply what all pure attribute Soul Masters dreamed of!
In this world, so-called pure attribute Soul Masters referred to those whose Soul Skills gained from attached Soul Rings all enhanced the same attribute. For example, the four major clans under the Clear Sky Sect in the original story: the Strength Clan, the Defense Clan, the Breaking Clan, and the Agility Clan.
These four clans each specialized in the strength attribute, the defense attribute, the breaking attribute, and the agility attribute... All Soul Rings attached enhanced single attributes, thus leading to the strength of a single attribute!
Simply put, when ordinary Soul Masters attached Soul Rings, they would try to choose Soul Skills that were more comprehensive. For example, some Soul Skills could enhance speed, some could enhance strength, and some could enhance defense. Using these in combination allowed them to better deal with various situations.
But pure attribute Soul Masters were different. All their Soul Skills enhanced a single attribute. For example, a pure strength attribute Soul Master would gain all Soul Skills that enhanced strength. Then, as one might imagine, their strength would be far more powerful than Soul Masters of the same level!
Of course, there were also downsides. The strength brought by a single attribute meant weakness in other areas. For example, a pure strength Soul Master's speed and agility would definitely be weak, making them vulnerable to agile Soul Masters. A pure speed Soul Master's attack power and destructive force would also be low, making them vulnerable to high-defense Soul Masters.
It could be said that there was always a trade-off.
Of course, besides this, it wasn't easy to become a pure attribute Soul Master. Because for a Soul Master to attach all Soul Rings of the same attribute, there was only one possibility: that every Soul Ring they obtained was from the same type of Soul Beast!
For example, a pure strength attribute Soul Master. When they were weak, finding a ten-year strength-type Soul Beast wasn't difficult. Finding a hundred-year Soul Beast of the same kind also wasn't hard. They could even search for a thousand-year Soul Beast of the same type.
But, continuously adding Soul Rings like this, always searching for the same type of Soul Beast, would make the difficulty increase exponentially!
However, Yun Chuan's Clear Sky Hammer was different. No matter what kind of Soul Ring he attached, it would only amplify the power of his Martial Soul and the four attributes. Unlike others, he didn't need to specifically hunt down the same type of Soul Beast; any kind would do.
From this perspective, his Martial Soul was simply a naturally pure attribute Martial Soul!
