"—Hiss…"
After Su Cheng regained consciousness, he couldn't help letting out a painful groan.
He felt as if his head were about to explode.
This had nothing to do with the additional memories. The human brain has a self-protection mechanism and would not be overloaded by memories.
It was sword intent.
Sword intent follows the heart, unrestrained by physique or talent, naturally manifesting.
Yet with his current physical strength and spiritual foundation, he was completely incapable of containing such powerful sword intent.
This was not the final sword-intent实体 he had unleashed before—the power of that sword had already been completely exhausted.
Moreover, that kind of energy body could not possibly be brought out.
What remained was the sharp aura formed from his comprehension of the sword path in the simulated world. No matter how desperately he tried to suppress it, even the slight residual waves that escaped were still more than he could endure.
In the blink of an eye, fresh blood began to gush from his seven orifices.
Before long, his sea of consciousness would likely be shredded into fragments by his own sword intent.
Fortunately, at this moment, streams of warmth surged in from an unknown source, continuously repairing and replenishing his body and sea of consciousness.
[Side quest reward settlement: Physical aptitude increased.]
[Side quest reward settlement: Martial Soul talent domain.]
Two prompts appeared.
With Su Cheng's extremely thorough understanding of the human body, he instantly sensed the changes within himself.
"This isn't a simple enhancement of physique.
"The quality of my bones, fiber density, and meridian toughness have all changed—this is reinforcement at the cellular level.
"Most importantly, some acupoints and skeletal positions have undergone extremely subtle adjustments, greatly improving force application and power circulation."
This was a comprehensive upgrade. Whether strength, speed, reaction, or dynamic vision, all had been enhanced to varying degrees.
Of course, the most important part was the increase in potential. Although the effects were not immediately obvious, in the long run its benefits would likely far surpass those of immortal herbs, and without any accumulation of medicinal toxicity.
At the same time, rainbow light shimmering with five colors appeared at his side, and a longsword Martial Soul was involuntarily revealed. Streams of sword qi circled around his body.
A talent domain.
[Main quest reward settlement (settlement bonus: 265%): Twin Martial Soul awakening, additional Martial Soul strength increase obtained.]
"Hoo…"
Su Cheng let out a light breath, finally stabilizing his sea of consciousness and recovering.
He secretly felt fortunate.
The sudden turn of events had been completely beyond his expectations. He had not anticipated that sword intent would place such tremendous pressure on the body.
Even now, he could only do his best to suppress the sharpness of the sword intent, yet stabbing pain still struck him from time to time.
His current strength was simply too weak, and his spiritual power had never been enhanced. After absorbing a soul ring and supplementing it with medicinal conditioning for a period of time, he should probably return to normal.
Gently pressing his fingers against his forehead, Su Cheng sighed.
"Looks like even after attaching my first soul ring to my Martial Soul, I won't be able to start the next simulation right away. I might as well let the simulator accumulate energy first."
There was no choice—his foundation was far too weak. If something similar happened again, it was hard to say whether he could be as lucky as he was today.
If possible, Su Cheng did not want to take risks. Moreover, the gains from the first simulation alone were already enough for him to digest for quite some time.
"But…" He extended his right hand, and a longsword manifested within it. "The settlement bonus was much higher than expected. I was only 35% short of the full reward."
In his original estimation, the settlement bonus would probably reach just over 250%.
After all, he likely hadn't fully completed the third-ring reward, the fourth-ring task he ultimately chose wasn't the hardest one, and in his view, Qian Renxue hadn't died in the end.
After closing his eyes to regulate his breathing for a moment, Su Cheng sensed his current condition.
The energy within his meridians was abundant, a warm current flowing throughout his body—completely incomparable to how he felt back when he had only 0.5 innate soul power.
Now, he had clearly reached the level of innate full soul power.
No, not merely innate full soul power. In reality, it was even more than that—he simply couldn't measure exactly how much more before attaching his first soul ring.
He then looked at the Martial Soul in his hand.
Unless there was a cultivation technique like the Mysterious Heaven Skill to provide additional amplification, innate soul power essentially represented the strength of one's Martial Soul.
"I didn't expect it to be the Longevity Sword."
The sword Martial Soul floating in Su Cheng's hand at this moment was precisely the longsword form that had accompanied him for a long time in the simulated world.
"This saves me a lot of steps in reconstructing the Five Elements cycle. And this talent domain…"
Examining the five-colored rainbow light around him, it was not the sword path domain he had originally imagined, but rather a Five Elements domain.
This was naturally a good thing.
The sword path domain was a variation of his soul skills and could be reconstructed again in the future.
On the other hand, the Five Elements domain—this kind of ever-generating auxiliary ability—was more suitable to exist as a talent domain.
Retracting the domain, Su Cheng extended his right hand and summoned the other Martial Soul that had just awakened.
It was an auxiliary-type tool Martial Soul. "An innate array diagram?"
Looking at the simply shaped yet profoundly mysterious energy array floating above his left hand, then glancing at the Longevity Sword in his right, ideas immediately formed in Su Cheng's mind.
However, his current research into Martial Souls was still far too shallow, and the development of the second Martial Soul was not urgent. For now, he should focus on enhancing the Longevity Sword.
With that thought, he calmed his mind.
"First, I'll advance to Great Soul Master in Notting City, then see which advanced academy would be most convenient to join."
He had already prepared himself to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament in the future.
Then win the championship, and use that opportunity to join the Spirit Hall.
"The Angel inheritance…"
Divine inheritance was something he had to continue researching.
In the simulated world, Qian Daoliu had been somewhat wary of him, and at that time his identity was sensitive, making him highly conspicuous within the Spirit Hall. It was difficult to get close to the Angel trials.
As for the other divine inheritances, the inheritance of the Rakshasa God had already been opened by Bibi Dong, while the inheritances of the Asura God and the Sea God were things he didn't want to touch at all.
Those two deities paid too much attention to their inheritors. He was still too weak and did not want to attract the attention of the Divine Realm.
Looking at it this way, the Angel God was the best choice.
Besides that, Su Cheng had another purpose.
He wanted to see whether this Angel inheritance had been tampered with.
If possible, he wanted to help Qian Renxue in this world—at the very least, to let her truly have a life that belonged to herself.
Although he understood in his heart that the Qian Renxue of the two worlds was not the same person.
One month later, as Su Cheng followed Village Chief Wang Pan to Notting City, he carefully observed the surroundings while patiently listening to the other's detailed explanations.
Although after exploring the simulated world, his own understanding of this place might actually be even deeper.
Over the past month, Su Cheng had already almost completely finished conditioning his body, and had once again perfectly adapted to this newly transformed physique.
Before long, the two arrived near the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy.
"Hm?"
Su Cheng's gaze sharpened as he saw, not far ahead at the academy entrance, the scene of an old man and a child being obstructed by the gate guard.
