Kara's Hidden Hideout, Amado's Laboratory!
...
Kawaki, Amado, and Kashin Koji sprawled on the floor. Although Kaguya said they would only feel 'little' pain, the horrible experience said otherwise.
This level of pain is not sothing mortals should go through.
They felt unknown energy erupt in their body, bursting their veins and nding them back. Their Chakra went haywire, causing Kawaki and two others to throw up.
Their bones crushed under the unknown energy's pressure, making them scream and groan in agony.
And this keeps going for ten minutes. Yet it feels like an eternity for the three of them.
Ushiki watched this with a pale face. She didn't expect Kaguya to be this ruthless. With her Byakugan, Usehiki can see through Kawaki and two other bodies.
Their horrific expression wasn't exaggerated.
'Kaguya, this woman definitely holds a grudge.' Ushiki felt this was a warning for her.
Of course, it wasn't. Ushiki is simply overthinking the situation.
Kaguya genuinely wanted Kawaki and the two others to be stronger. She believed their presence and expertise are 'greatly' needed.
If they died too early, it would be a sha.
Amado can't die too early. He discovered the weakness of Otsutsuki Shibai and has proven his worth.
Kawaki holds Isshiki's Kama, having the potential to beco a 'unique' existence.
As for Kashin Koji, while he was only a clone of soone, his body also holds a great secret because he successfully fused with Otsutsuki Shibai's genetics and survived.
Though dormant, Otsutsuki Shibai's genetics are still dangerous.
Ten minutes 'uneventfully' passed.
The first to awake is Kashin Koji.
"Damn," Kashin mumbled wearily, rubbing his temple. "That felt like a truck ramming over and coming back for the second, third, and constant rounds..."
But then, Kashin felt energized. The newfound energy blood inside his body, surpassing that of Chakra.
Not only that, Kashin also felt more in tune with nature. He couldn't help but want to experint with Sage Mode using this 'enhanced' body. He should be able to master Sage Mode, unlike his predecessor.
"Hmm, this is..."
Kashin cupped his hand and felt sothing bursting from his palm, which blinded his vision with whiteness. "Is this Martial Soul?"
Kaguya looked down and saw a white bead in Kashin's hand. It looked nothing special at first glance, but she could sense profound 'Nature Chakra' from it.
"What is the na of your Martial Soul?"
Kashin replied honestly, "My Martial Soul is Nature Bead, a tool-type spirit."
"As for the usage, I think it allowed to manipulate 'Nature Chakra' better?"
"I didn't know until I absorbed my 1st Spirit Ring."
"Hmm, Heaven and Earth Energy is compatible with the 'Nature Chakra' of the Shinobi World. How interesting. I think you awakened this Martial Soul because of the genetic template of a human rather than Otsutsuki."
"But to be this potent..."
"Martial Soul is hereditary. While the descendant of the said person won't have a 100% chance of inheriting the sa Martial Soul, the chance is still high. But there is the possibility of mutation from external factors, such as bloodline, special constitution, spirit ring configuration, higher level energy, and emotion."
"Is that so?" Kashin mumbled softly. He knew he was the clone of the Toad Sage, Jiraiya. Amado created him using the Jiraiya template and Otsutsuki Shibai's dormant genes.
Unknown to Kashin, Jiraiya has returned to the realm of living. Their etings will be awkward.
Kaguya pulled sothing from thin air and waved hand signs casually, performing a soul contract between Jiraiya and the Artificial Souls she made herself in the Land of Springs.
Besides Gu Yuena, Kaguya can also create Artificial Souls. In fact, hers is better than the ones Silver Dragon Goddess made. The function is still the sa, but Kaguya's version could support one's cultivation up to the Title Douluo with a problem.
After all, Kaguya drew her power from the Higher Dinsion.
Bibi Dong, who had been watching, waved her hand at Kashin. "Here is the cultivation thod of our faction, the Red Cloud Heaven Art. Get used to every routine and create a strong bond with your Artificial Soul before producing your 1st Spirit Ring."
Kashin received new knowledge and nodded, entering a ditation state where he saw a small green toad floating in his mind.
As Kashin ditated to form a strong link with his Artificial Souls, Kawaki and Amado gradually awakened from their pained daze.
Kawaki's reaction was mild. He groaned and leaned on the wall, staring at Kaguya with fear and expectation.
On the other hand, Amado was dying. He struggled to sit up, feeling every fiber of his being cry for help. If not for Amado's deep obsession to revive his daughter, he wouldn't have successfully passed through the modified Spirit Awakening Ceremony.
Kawaki's chest burst with white bone, covering him like armor. His eyes were burning with excitent as he felt newfound strength coursing in his young veins.
It is unlike anything Kawaki experienced in his life.
'This sensation is nothing like Kama. I felt warm and perfectly compatible with it. According to Kaguya-sama, Martial Soul is the part of one's soul, which ans this is my own power!' Kawaki thought, clenching his hand tightly.
'Pale Bones... It is my power!'
But then, Kawaki felt a little vexed. 'I wish Isshiki didn't die too soon, or else I could test this power on him and kill him myself.'
If anyone read Kawaki's mind right now, they'd imdiately call him out for being delusional. Does he think awakening a Martial Soul put him above Isshiki instantly?
Stop dreaming, Kid!
Becoming a Title Douluo and God isn't a 1-day process. One must temper themselves in cultivation and life-and-death situations, evolving to a higher life form.
You will break your bone, tear your body, and experience a horrifying situation to stand at the top.
Kaguya glanced at Kawaki, "Shikotsumyaku? No, this is body-type Martial Soul, which mutated into becoming full-body armor."
"In a way, it's a tool-type Martial Soul."
"It also could beco a beast-type Martial Soul with an infusion bloodline, preferably from Dragon's bloodline."
"Another 'interesting' Martial Soul. The mix of Douluo Dalu and Shinobi World's essences are fascinating."
As for Amado, he cald down after injecting himself with a relaxant. The veins on his forehead faded as he sighed in relief and closed his eyes peacefully.
From the depth of Amado's soul, an object erges.
Unlike Kashin's Nature Bead or Kawaki's Pale Bones, Amado's Martial Soul is none other than black-frad glasses.
"Glasses of Invention... Is this my Martial Soul?" Amado picked up the black-frad glasses with interest.
The fra is 'naturally' made of lightweight tal, and the glass is pale orange, warming Amado's sight.
Upon wearing the glasses, Amado felt refreshed. It is an odd sensation, washing over him like a gentle breeze.
"I have never seen Glasses Martial Soul before." Bibi Dong comnted while narrowing her eyes. "Well, I bet there are Glasses Martial Souls, but those glasses are ordinary without Spirit Energy."
"This fellow's glasses are awakened with Innate Full Spirit Awakening."
Kaguya nodded as she agreed with Bibi Dong's take. "Mhm, it must possess 'special' characteristics in one way or another."
"Well, can you give them the Cultivation Art? I want to perform the Spirit Contract."
Bibi Dong's mouth twitched slightly. She sighed because Kaguya liked to order people around but was not even interested in governing the Bright Spirit Empire.
'I guess researching things is more important for her.'
Bibi Dong waved her hand again, sharing the Red Cloud Heaven Art with Kawaki and Amado.
Kawaki and Amado received the knowledge and imdiately ditated to prepare for the Spirit Contracts with Artificial Souls.
anwhile, Kashin has bonded with his Artificial Soul and produced his 1st Spirit Ring. It was a purple, almost black Spirit Ring, indicating age close to 10,000 years old.
Kashin's eyes widened as he got the information of his Spirit Skill.
He looked up at Kaguya and said, "Kaguya-sama, I have a surprise for you."
"What is it?" Kaguya glanced at him.
Kashin breathed in and out before saying, "I feel like I've awakened Shibai's Shinjutsu (Divine Technique)."
"But it's actually my Spirit Skill, not coming from myself..."
Everyone was stunned.
"Hurry, tell us what Shinjutsu you awakened?" Ushiki was the one who said it. Kaguya was stunned by her eagerness.
Kashin sucked a cold breath and answered, "The na of Shinjutsu/Spirit skill is..."
"Ten Directions!"
