SoulLand:Ascending to Godhood through Science

Reaching the rank of Soul Elder is a threshold, and Soul King is another.

If the spiritual power at the "tangible but non-substantive" level can barely be endured by a Soul Elder's spirit power and body, then a Soul King can handle the peak of this level.

With the system's assistance, You Chen understood that he wasn't far from achieving Soul Saint status. Having already reached the Soul King level, he felt it was time to relax the restrictions on his spiritual training and resume enhancing his mental strength.

According to You Chen's research on the body, besides spirit power, mental strength, and innate physical talents, another significant factor limiting physical enhancement is... "bloodline."

The stronger the bloodline of the soul beast related to one's martial spirit, the stronger the soul master's own bloodline, resembling the soul beast more closely. This lowers the threshold for physical enhancement and raises the potential limit.

For example, characters like the protagonists in Douluo 3, who possess the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, can even forcibly manifest bloodline spirit rings.

Dragons are undoubtedly the pinnacle of bloodlines in this world, so soul masters with dragon martial spirits generally exhibit physical attributes far surpassing their peers.

Although You Chen's "Stardust Dragon" doesn't align with this world's typical dragon system, its bloodline potential is certainly not inferior.

However, You Chen rarely focused on enhancing his dragon bloodline specifically.

Of course, this "specific" focus is relative to his emphasis on the "attribute power" of his martial spirit. He has consumed the top resources typically enjoyed by those with dragon martial spirits.

The remaining items, such as the invaluable celestial herbs, are temporarily unattainable. This is due to factors like his current power level and Bibi Dong's scrutiny.

Yet, he relatively downplays their importance, which is a fact.

The over-the-age-limit spirit rings have already addressed much of the potential extraction issue concerning his martial spirit.

Furthermore, as his martial spirit evolves, it naturally enhances his bloodline strength, making You Chen less concerned and more focused on the research of enhancing the "martial spirit's original power" to promote "martial spirit evolution."

Given his current bloodline strength and spirit power level constraints, raising his physical body to the Soul Saint level is approximately his limit.

By practicing the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength," and converting a significant amount of resources into physical strength, he will likely reach this level soon.

Thus, there's no need to worry about this issue at present.

Speaking of physical strength and fitness...

You Chen's gaze fell on the "Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Transformation" listed among the special rewards.

In the system's description, this is a reward that directly refines and enhances one's foundational constitution. Both spirit power and mental strength aptitude will benefit from "Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Transformation," but these are secondary effects. The primary and most significant enhancement is the potential of the physical body.

Without hesitation, You Chen clicked to use it.

Instantly, a refreshing and clear sensation rushed up from his feet.

It felt as if countless invisible jade hands were massaging every corner of his body, making him feel like he was floating...

Then came an unbearable tingling and itchiness!

This lasted for nearly an hour before You Chen regained his senses, realizing that the "Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Transformation" process had concluded.

His first observation was the complexion of his hands. Originally just fair and healthy, his skin now shone with a jade-like luster, almost translucent under the moonlight.

This is what's known as "ice skin and jade bones."

As for the black sludge often mentioned in old novels after such a process, it did not appear, sparing You Chen the need for further cleansing.

You Chen didn't mind this boost in appearance. In fact, he was quite interested and looked in the mirror to observe himself.

As he expected, the changes went beyond just his skin; his facial features were more defined and heading towards an even more perfect appearance.

If he was previously a "handsome scholar," he could now confidently be described as "a gentleman as flawless as jade, unmatched in the world."

Going from a 7 to an 8 in terms of appearance may seem like a small increase, but the transformation is more significant than the martial spirit evolution. While 7 out of 10 handsome men might be common, an 8 out of 10 is exceedingly rare, even in the soul master world, known for its beautiful and handsome individuals, making him striking at first sight.

Moreover, You Chen sensed that beyond his skin and appearance, his bones and flesh were also becoming more perfect.

His body felt as if a weight had been lifted, becoming lighter and more at ease.

"Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Transformation" didn't directly enhance You Chen's physical attributes; instead, it comprehensively elevated his potential and limits.

'Only one session has brought such changes. Is this transforming me towards a celestial being? Fortunately, I prepared for this post-martial spirit evolution, using glasses to seal my looks, and explaining You Xing's changes as natural growth. Otherwise, it would be hard to handle. However, this transformation is likely most pronounced the first time; the closer to perfection, the harder further improvements become. At least in terms of appearance, diminishing returns apply even in this otherworld.'

This change in innate foundation requires time to fully understand. Aside from the visible change in appearance, the other aspects aren't immediately noticeable.

You Chen could sense that some kind of shackle within him had been broken, his body felt more free and in control, and his spirit power and mental strength flowed more smoothly. With the comprehensive enhancement to his talents, perhaps even the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength," previously deemed impossible to fully grasp in a lifetime, now held hope for breakthrough.

But in terms of exact numbers or percentage improvements? Those were not yet quantifiable.

With the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength" and "Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Transformation" rewards initially digested, You Chen turned to the remaining special rewards.

He had already roughly planned the allocation of the three "Sudden Inspiration" uses, potentially needing to use two or even all three to achieve his goals.

Thus, the remaining reward to utilize was clear.

"Insight into Essence," a special reward You Chen had anticipated from the start.

'Just one session of "Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Transformation" brought such tremendous change. Could these two sessions of "Insight into Essence" directly allow me to comprehend the Stardust Dragon's control over the three types of attribute powers?'

With this hope, You Chen used the first "Insight into Essence."

Immediately, You Chen fell into a state of flow, his awareness completely severing from external perception.

In a relatively subjective world, everything turned pitch black.

Then... a blue-white dragon appeared.

With a resonating dragon roar that deeply connected with You Chen, it stretched its wings, flying past him with stardust-like scales drifting around.

Its beauty, its sacred and noble aura, captivated You Chen from the very first moment.

It was...

"Stardust Dragon."
