Chapter 5: CH 5: Bibi Dong :"How is This Possible...?"
"Um um! Understood!" Ah Li nodded quickly before scratching his head in confusion :"But, sister, how are you able to talk? Aren't Martial Souls supposed to... I don't know, not be alive or something?"
"Regarding this, even I'm not sure." Bibi Dong shook her head calmly :"Even as a God Level Martial Soul, I shouldn't have had a consciousness either. After all, there is also another person who has a God Level Martial Soul, but her Martial Soul is a normal one as well. However, I guess my case is a special one.
but you don't need to worry about her for now. Right now, you need to work hard and advance as fast as possible. Alright, you should get out of here now. Time is precious, and you need to use it as much as possible with hard work to make up for your poor talent. Whenever you want to see me, just come here however you did it now. Even if just a Martial Soul, I still have a lot of things that I can teach you. I'll be here, obviously. So you can see me whenever you need help with something that I can help with."
"Umu, I see." He nodded obediently with a smile :"Okay, sister. I'll go now and train! Now, let's see... Is it supposed to be like this...? Oh!" The moment he finished speaking, his figure suddenly blurred for a moment before he disappeared and awakened in the real world.
But the moment he got out, Bibi Dong sighed with a helpless and slightly gloomy face. Upon seeing him and inspecting even better, she was even more sure that there was no way for her to get awakened until the little guy reaches Lv 70.
'Damn it, I'm seriously unlucky this time... Even though it's a great thing that I didn't die, being the unawakened Martial Soul of a little kid with such a poor talent seriously isn't all that good either. Shit... Am I fated to be a useless, glorified ghost and slave now?' She sighed in her heart before growing serious :'No! Without my help, there's no way this little guy will achieve our goal of getting stronger! I need to help him. But before that, I need to see and understand his situation first. Let's start with his first Martial Soul.'
With her mind made up, she grew serious and professional as she concentrated before exiting the Rakshasa Domain herself. But she didn't completely get out of Ah Li's body though. She simply came out of her own personal space, and to Ah Li's Spiritual Sea where his 1st Martial Soul, the centipede, and his 2nd Martial Soul, Rakshasa Goddess which was inside of the dark red mist, were located.
Looking around the Spiritual Sea and inspecting it, she hummed in slight satisfaction :'Despite his poor talent in cultivation, his spiritual talent and Spiritual Sea really are superb though. Well, he did manage to come to his Spiritual Sea on the first try without anybody's help, so I guess that's a given. Now, let's see.'
Taking away her attention from Ah Li's Spiritual Sea and putting it on the little centipede instead, she started to inspect it with her Divine Consciousness. But the moment she did, and its information was revealed to her, she immediately grew shocked :"W-wha...? What's going on?! How can such a Martial Soul be a Trash Martial Soul?!"

Trash Martial Soul: 30% (x1.3)
//////////////////////////////////
"How is this possible...?" Bibi Dong gaped at the information that she found out :'This doesn't make any sense at all... There's no way a Martial Soul like this is a Trash Martial Soul that will give an Innate Soul Power Level of only 2! Martial Souls that have Innate Abilities are already rare and will be powerful most of the time.
This "Abyssal Centipede" actually has 8 Innate Abilities! So how is it a Trash Martial Soul?! Forget about the first 6 Innate Abilities, the last two ones just make it being a Trash Martial Soul a bullshit fact! This is a Martial Soul that can continuously grow with simply killing! Not absorbing blood, flesh or anything that would label somebody as an Evil Soul Master! Just simply killing!
And that last one... That's something that barely any Martial Soul seen in history can do... Even if being able to increase the cultivation speed of Soul Masters with only centipede-type Martial Souls, this is far too strong and perverted of an ability... With this, an organization can easily prevail as long as they focus on gathering Soul Masters with centipede-type Martial Souls!
And it also specified that this is only when it is a Trash Martial Soul. So when it evolves, does the increase in cultivation speed also change? Does it perhaps increase the range of what kind of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts will be affected? The amount of increase was also specified, so does the increase in cultivation speed also increase with Abyssal Centipede's grade?!
This Martial Soul... There's no way that it can only be a Trash Martial Soul... With just the last ability, it can easily be comparable to a High Level Martial Soul like the Hao Tian Hammer, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon! Heck, it can even easily surpass them since there's a chance that two Soul Masters with this Martial Soul can assist each other, and if three, two Soul Masters assist one another!
If that really is the case, then a single Soul Master with this Martial Soul, with the assistance of two other Soul Masters with the Abyssal Centipede, can get an increase of 60% in cultivation speed while the other two also get the same treatment! If that's the case... What kind of terrifying effect will it have if there's a whole sect with this Martial Soul...?
Forget about a normal sect that insists of a few thousand people. Even a small sect with only 100 and some men would be a terrifying thing! That would be a total of more than 3,000% in cultivation speed for each one of them! Cultivation speed multiplied by 31! That's simply a bad joke!
But if this Martial Soul is so strong, then how is it a Trash Martial Soul with an Innate Soul Power Level of only 2...? That doesn't make sense at all... Not even God Level Martial Souls like Qian Renxue's Seraphim, Bo Saixi's Sea God, or me, the Rakshasa Goddess, can provide such an effect...
... Is it... Because of me, his 2nd Martial Soul, Rakshasa Goddess? Is it possible that to even acquire me, instead of having his Soul Power raised to Innate Full Soul Power like what would happen to a Soul Master with Twin Martial Souls, he actually had 8 Soul Power Levels taken away? And not just that, but it also weakened his Martial Soul to the degree that it became a Trash Martial Soul?
... My godhood, Rakshasa Goddess, is an Evil God, so it would somewhat make sense... Shit, I barely ever complained about my God Position being evil when I was alive, yet it fucking infuriates me now...'
Thinking of the most likely logical thing to have caused such an amazing Martial Soul to be reduced to only a simple Trash Martial Soul, Bibi Dong couldn't help but get annoyed and angry. There was no way a Martial Soul with this kind of ability would be a Trash Martial Soul. People would laugh at her if she said that a Martial Soul that could not only continuously grow with simply killing, but also increase the cultivation speed of other Soul Masters with specific Martial Souls, was actually a Trash grade Martial Soul!
So when she realized that she herself may have caused his talent and Martial Soul to be reduced to such a pitiful state and directly lowered her chances of being awakened several times, she couldn't help but get mad at herself. However, she still quickly calmed down :'Sigh, no point in complaining about what's done.
For now, that little guy's growth is the most important thing. Hm... Now that I think about it, I didn't even ask for his name. I was too annoyed, so I didn't remember what the other children called him either... Oh whatever, I'll just ask him later. But forget about that. Despite this Martial Soul being weakened to such a state and having all of its Innate Abilities weakened to such states, what's important is that they are still there.'
Thinking of the good and pleasant news she just discovered, she couldn't help but smile in satisfaction :'And thanks to that Innate Ability which allows him to grow, as long as we find a nice "hunting ground", everything will be solved. But... He'll need to learn how to kill first... Sigh, to think I'd have to make a little, innocent kid kill at such a young age...'
A sad and regretful expression appeared on her gorgeous face, but she sighed with slight sadness before growing serious :'But it has to be done. If not, I can simply forget about awakening one day! If I want him to grow stronger, and he wants the same thing, then getting his hands bloody is something that has to be done. It's inevitable to begin with. Every Soul Master will one day be forced to experience killing and taking a life. Better train him early on, since his road to power and strength will definitely be filled with blood.'
