Chapter 5

5 Rank 3 Human Class Martial Soul

Su Mo was shocked that the Evilwind Wolf would suddenly run away .
Although low level demonic beasts were very unintelligent, they were still decisive in the face of danger .
Su Mo certainly would not have allowed it to escape because the demonic beast had a valuable Demonic Core .
With genuine Qi spewing out from under his feet, Su Mo rushed toward the Evilwind Wolf .
The Evilwind Wolf rushed into a small valley and then into a cave .
Su Mo stopped in front of the pitch black cave and did not rashly enter it .
After hesitating for a while, he still decided to rush in .
The cave was obviously the den of the Evilwind Wolf, so there would be no other dangers present .
As expected, after rushing into the cave, Su Mo saw only the injured Evilwind Wolf lying on the ground .
"What?"
At that moment, Su Mo saw a 5-inch-tall plant growing in a crevice not far from the Evilwind Wolf . The plant had eight green leaves surrounding a pale red fruit, which was only the size of a thumb but exuded a fruity fragrance .
"Is that . . . Purple Spirit Fruit?"
Su Mo stared at it and became excited .
Purple Spirit Fruit was a Medium Lv 1 Spirit Fruit, which could increase by one level the cultivation of martial artists who were below Lv 4 Qi Cultivation Realm .
However, judging by its color, the fruit was not yet fully ripe .
Nevertheless, eating this fruit would still increase Su Mo's cultivation to Lv 2 Qi Cultivation Realm .
The Evilwind Wolf must have selected the cave as its den for the sake of eating Purple Spirit Fruit .
"Howl!"
Seeing Su Mo enter the cave, the injured Evilwind Wolf roared and bit toward the Purple Spirit Fruit .
"Damn it . . . "
Su Mo was rattled . If the Evilwind Wolf swallowed the Purple Spirit Fruit, all hope would be lost .
"Die!"
Su Mo roared and stepped suddenly . Genuine Qi spewed out from under his feet, propelling him over the Evilwind Wolf .
"Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist!"
After motivating his genuine Qi to the extreme, Su Mo heavily struck the head of the Evilwind Wolf with his fivefold fist force .
Bang!
With blood splashing and brains spraying, the Evilwind Wolf was blasted to pieces .
After killing the Evilwind Wolf, Su Mo was finally relieved .
Walking to the side of the corpse, Su Mo pulled a gray crystal, its Demonic Core, from the Evilwind Wolf's skull .
The Demonic Core of a Class 1 Lv 1 Demonic Beast was at least worth 10 taels of silver .
Then, Su Mo plucked the Purple Spirit Fruit without hesitation .
Although the Purple Spirit Fruit was not ripe, Su Mo could not afford to wait . After all, a Medium Grade Purple Spirit Fruit was quite rare .
He sat down cross-legged and swallowed it .
The cave was secluded, so it was not dangerous to refine the fruit there .
As soon as the Purple Spirit Fruit was swallowed, its strong medicinal effects spread throughout Su Mo's body .
Su Mo hastily held his breath and concentrated so he could transfer the effects flowing in his meridians into genuine Qi and guide them into his elixir field .



After a while, Su Mo's elixir field bulged with abundant Qi .
"I've finally broken into the Late Lv 2 Qi Cultivation Realm!"
Su Mo exclaimed and nodded with satisfaction .
The Purple Spirit Fruit not only helped him reach Lv 2 Qi Cultivation Realm but also promoted him to the Late Lv 2 Qi Cultivation Realm .
Now, Su Mo's genuine Qi was twice as dense as it was before .
He could obviously feel that his senses were more acute than before .
"I should stabilize my cultivation before leaving . "
Su Mo smiled and began cultivating again .
A black vortex Martial Soul rose from behind him and rotated slowly .

Then, something strange happened .
The dead Evilwind Wolf's Blood Qi and energy were all sucked in by the vortex Martial Soul .
Moreover, an illusory Beast Soul floated up slowly from the corpse and was devoured by the vortex Martial Soul .
All of the Evilwind Wolf's Blood Qi was transformed into a strong energy after entering Su Mo's body .
Su Mo felt his Qi increase greatly and approach the peak of Lv 2 Qi Cultivation Realm .
"What is this . . . ?"
Su Mo trembled in shock .
"Can a Martial Soul devour Blood Qi?"
"Can a Martial Soul devour Beast Souls?"
Su Mo had never heard of or seen such a Martial Soul .


In the midst of his marveling, something strange happened .
The vortex Martial Soul that had devoured the Beast Soul began vibrating and then exploded with yellow light .
Instead of having its previous yellow halo, it was now shining with two yellow halos .
The vortex Martial Soul now was twice as fast at abosrbing Spiritual Qi as before .
"What?"
Although Su Mo was usually a composed person, he was filled with excitement at that moment .
Everyone knew that the rank of one's Martial Soul was determined at birth and unchangeable after awakening . This was an eternally immutable truth .
The cultivating talent of a martial artist was mainly determined by the level of their Martial Soul .
Su Mo's Martial Soul had just broken the logic of this world .
His Martial Soul had progressed from Rank 1 Human Class to Rank 2 Human Class .
If he could devour enough Beast Souls, his Martial Soul level could even increase to Earth Class and Heaven Class .
"The Heaven Class! How exciting it would be!" Su Mo felt very excited .
"Haha, Haha!"
After a while, Su Mo calmed down but could not help laughing .
"Is this my luck as a time traveler?" he thought .
Since his awakening, Su Mo had felt depressed by the level of his Martial Soul .
He did not know about his Martial Soul's special ability before .
However, this supernatural ability exceeded all of his expectations .
Su Mo's excitement dispelled all of his depression .
"I'll call you Devouring Martial Spirit from now on!" Su Mo said with a laugh .


After that, Su Mo quickly left the cave and could not wait to kill demonic beasts and devour Beast Souls .
Over the next two days, Su Mo crazily slaughtered more than 50 demonic beasts .
Among these beasts, 10 demonic beasts were Class 2 Lv 1, and the others were Class 1 Lv 1 .
Having devoured the essence, blood and Beast Souls of all the demonic beasts, not only had Su Mo's cultivation broken through to Lv 3 Qi Cultivation Realm, but also his Martial Soul had progressed to Rank 3 Human Class .
His fistplay had also greatly improved by killing those demonic beasts .
His Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist now had sixfold fist force, and its attack had greatly increased .
Su Mo sat cross-legged in the cave . The black Devouring Martial Spirit floated behind him with three dazzling yellow halos .
The surrounding Spiritual Qi was being absorbed into Su Mo's body in torrents .
After his Martial Soul progressed to Rank 3 Human Class, it was ten times faster at absorbing Spiritual Qi than at Rank 1 .
After a while, Su Mo opened his eyes .
"With my cultivation fully stabilized at Lv 3 Qi Cultivation Realm, I can kill stronger demonic beasts!"
Su Mo grinned exuberantly .
After the progression of his cultivation and Martial Soul, Su Mo had returned to the cave again . After all, his sharp increase in cultivation over the past two days needed to be well consolidated .
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter . . .
Footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the cave .
"Brother Wei Long, the Purple Spirit Fruit is in this cave, and it is probably almost ripe . "
"Be careful, I think there's an Evilwind Wolf guarding it . "
"Hah! A mere Evilwind Wolf? I can kill it with a turn of my hand . "
Hearing the voices, Su Mo saw two tall young men stride into the cave .
