Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Martial Soul Secret Skill: Breaking Prohibition

"How boring."

Lin Zi’er glanced disdainfully at Liu Liang and then walked directly towards the Martial Intent God Stele.

"Humph, that’s just a Heaven Level Fifth Grade Martial Soul, what’s so amazing about that? Looking down on others." Liu Liang glared at Lin Zi’er, saying coldly in his heart.

Lin Zi’er walked towards the Martial Intent God Stele in the stone chamber. After casting her beautiful eyes to the stele, she sat cross-legged and began to comprehend its secrets.

"Lin Zi’er has gone."

"This proud daughter of the Canghai Yuntai Palace... I wonder if she can earn the Martial Intent God Stele."

"I think she should be able to. After all, the heavenly-grade Martial Soul already possesses unpredictable abilities."

Many warriors expressed their expectations of Lin Zi’er.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai and Lijian Xing were paying close attention to Lin Zi’er.

Lin Bai, in particular, felt a significant challenge if Lin Zi’er could gain the divine power from the Martial Intent God Stele.

Voom—

The moment Lin Zi’er sat cross-legged, a bright golden light suddenly burst out from the stele.

The golden light brushed Lin Zi’er’s body, immediately emitting a mysterious and ancient aura from her.

"Martial Arts Will!"

"How did she comprehend the Martial Arts Will so quickly?"

"As expected of the heavenly-grade Martial Soul."

The release of this Martial Intent immediately caused an uproar amongst the crowd.

"Lin Zi’er..." Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, feeling a touch of shock in his heart.

Liu Liang barely grasped a thread of Martial Intent after an hour, while Lin Zi’er had just sat down and comprehended it. Truly, the Heaven Level Fifth Grade Martial Soul was not given its reputation without reason.

Nearly half an hour passed.

Layers of sweat appeared on Lin Bai’s delicate face, and her slightly closed eyes began to tremble.

Suddenly, Lin Zi’er opened her eyes, firing a compelling glow that hit the Stele of the Wind God Skill.

"Open for me!"

Her spiritual power condensed into a white ray, striking the stele.

"Lin Zi’er’s spiritual power is incredibly strong, almost materializing into an object."

A warrior exclaimed.

Seeing this, Lin Bai also narrowed his eyes.

The white light of Lin Zi’er’s spiritual power struck the stele, and the Magic Circle on the stele flickered, causing ripples. Suddenly, another white ray shot out from the stele, hitting Lin Zi’er’s chest.

Pu-chi—

Lin Zi’er spat blood, retreating more than ten meters in an embarrassing fashion, her face pale.

"Ah, she falls just a little short." The Mechanical Puppet heaved a secret sigh, raising its hand to pull Lin Zi’er back from the stone chamber.

Back at the entrance, Lin Zi’er’s face had not regained its color. She was still pale and looked at the stele with longing.

However, she was helpless. The attack just now was the result of all her spiritual power condensing. If such an attack couldn’t break the magic circle on the stele, Lin Zi’er had no other options.

"This Magic Circle is so powerful, it seems I can only try again after I reach the Divine Elixir Realm," said Lin Zi’er distantly in her heart.

"Without the spiritual power of the Divine Elixir Realm, there’s no way to break through the defense of this magic circle."

Lin Zi’er took a deep breath, acknowledging the defensive power of the Magic Circle.

"Even Lin Zi’er can’t see the text on the Stele of the Wind God Skill? It seems that no one who participated in the comprehension this time will obtain the Martial Intent God Stele."

"Yeah, even Lin Zi’er, who has the Heaven Level Fifth Grade Martial Soul, couldn’t break the defense of the Magic Circle. Not to mention the others."

Many warriors shook their heads and said.

"Lin Bai, I am going." Lijian Xing said to Lin Bai before preparing to walk towards the stele.

"Jian Xing, if you really can’t see the text on the stele, then try to comprehend the Martial Art Will," Lin Bai advised.

"Yes."

Lijian Xing nodded heavily, walked in front of the stele with a serious expression, and sat cross-legged.

Everyone watched Lijian Xing attentively.

All was quiet.

Lijian Xing sat cross-legged in front of the stone stele for a good half an hour.

"Ah, it seems this man has also gained nothing. Let’s bring him out." The mechanical puppet shook its head and, with precise timing, prepared to summon Lijian Xing out.

But just then.

A sharp aura suddenly shone from Lijian Xing, spreading in all directions.

Everyone was taken aback, their faces filled with shock.

"He understands the Martial Arts Will."

Liu Liang exclaimed.

Lijian Xing, now sitting in front of the stone stele, was like a sharp sword that had left its sheath, emitting an endless sharp Sword Aura.

After gaining an understanding of the Martial Arts Will, Lijian Xing slowly stood up, glanced regretfully one last time at the Stele of the Wind God Skill, and walked away.

Lijian Xing didn’t attempt to break the Magic Circle on the stele because he knew that with his current mental power, he wouldn’t be able to break this Magic Circle.

"Not bad," Lin Bai said with a smile.

"It’s only luck, Lin Bai. Now it’s your turn. I looked at that defensive Magic Circle, and unless you have the mental power of the Divine Elixir Realm, you can’t break it." Lijian Xing spoke seriously to Lin Bai.

"I know. I’ll give it a try. If it doesn’t work, I’ll borrow the remnants of the Martial Intent on this stele to break through my Sword Intention."

Lin Bai assessed the situation. There were ample remnants of Martial Intent on the stele, sufficient for Lin Bai to reach the late phase of the first level of Sword Intention.

Lin Bai approached the stele.

All eyes were once again on Lin Bai.

"What is this waste doing going up there again? Even Lin Zi’er couldn’t see the words on the stele, do you think you can?"

"Exactly, look at your own worth, a waste."

"If a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul can see the words on the stele, I’ll kneel down and eat shit on the spot."

"Hahaha, brother, you’re really unreasonable. But I like it."

A group of warriors laughed and jeered without any expectation.

Lin Bai ignored their slanderous chatter and walked straight to the front of the stele.

With each closer step Lin Bai took to the stele, he could feel the stele’s Martial Intent roaring towards him like a towering mountain.

In this Martial Intent, it seemed that the raging winds, the roar of flames, and the destruction of the thunderbolt were all condensed together. Any ordinarily faint-hearted warrior who came here would not dare to approach within a hundred steps of the stele, otherwise, their spirit would be shattered on the spot.

But Lin Bai was different. He had already understood the Martial Arts Will.

Not to mention the remnants of this Martial Intent. Even if a master of Martial Arts Will stood before Lin Bai, he would not show fear.

He looked up as he arrived at the front of the stele.

The stele was indeed covered with densely packed characters. But these characters were all obscured by a Magic Circle, making them hazy and impossible to see clearly with the naked eye.

"Let’s see if I can use my mental power to break this Magic Circle."

Lin Bai sat cross-legged, controlling the mental power from his Sea of ​​Knowledge, slowly seeping it into the circle.

Mental power, also known as soul power.

The stronger the mental power, the stronger a warrior’s spirit, energy, and mind will be.

It’s said that there are cultivation skills specific to mental power. When trained to the utmost limit, you could possess the undeniable power to create or obliterate anything with a single thought.

But Lin Bai didn’t have this power now!

Bang!

The moment Lin Bai’s mental power touched the stele, it was instantly repelled by the Magic Circle on the stele.

Splutter——

The rebounding force from the Magic Circle turned Lin Bai’s eyes red, and blood surged up from within him and was spat out.

"I’ve failed."

Lin Bai spoke somewhat regretfully.

However, as the Magic Circle repelled Lin Bai, his Devouring Sword Spirit began to quiver violently.

Some cryptic and convoluted text entered Lin Bai’s mind.

"Martial Soul Secret Skill: Breaking the Forbidden!"
