"Cultivate and try!"

Trying to calm himself, Luo Cheng immediately ran to the training ground in the courtyard.

Inside the training ground were huge stone locks.

In the Martial Dao, Body Tempering comes first.

The Body Tempering Realm is about nurturing Qi and strengthening the physique, until after the ninth level, one can gradually shed their mortal body and become a true Cultivator!

Luo Cheng is currently at the fourth level of Body Tempering, possessing the strength of two stones!

Walking up to a two-hundred-pound stone lock, Luo Cheng took a deep breath, lifted the stone lock, and swung it with force.

As he Cultivated, the nine-colored mysterious egg slowly revolved, automatically absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth Qi and integrating it into Luo Cheng's body.

Two hours later, Luo Cheng only felt his body lighten, and the stone lock, which was originally very heavy, suddenly became light.

"Body Tempering Fifth Level! So fast!"

Feeling the change in his strength, Luo Cheng was incredibly excited!

He had thought it would take several more days for his strength to reach two hundred and fifty pounds and Breakthrough to the Body Tempering Fifth Level, but he never expected to advance in just two short hours!

Undoubtedly, these were all changes brought about by his Martial Soul!

"Although my Martial Soul is an Undeveloped Martial Soul, its Cultivation effect probably surpasses that of a complete Intermediate Martial Soul, and even an Advanced Martial Soul!"

After a brief thought, Luo Cheng immediately understood.

An Undeveloped Martial Soul is indeed less than one-tenth as good as a complete Martial Soul.

However, his nine-colored mysterious egg contains countless stars, so even one-tenth is far more than nine stars!

Perhaps his Undeveloped Martial Soul even surpasses the rumored Spiritual Martial Soul, Earth Martial Soul, and Heaven Martial Soul!

This is still just an Undeveloped Martial Soul; if one day it successfully develops, what kind of existence would that be!

"Very good! Ji Yuanhao, let's wait and see!"

Recalling the scenes of the Awakening ceremony, a sharp glint flashed in Luo Cheng's eyes.

"Eh, where's the necklace?"

Suddenly, Luo Cheng discovered that the necklace he always carried with him was gone.

That was the only token his mother left him!

But he searched his entire body without finding anything.

"This is..."

Just as Luo Cheng was about to go to the square to search, he suddenly noticed a very faint nine-colored tattoo on his right palm!

Luo Cheng was very familiar with the shape of the tattoo; it was exactly the same as the necklace his mother left him!

"The necklace entered my body? What's going on?"

Luo Cheng touched his palm; there seemed to be no change, yet he could feel that the nine-colored scales were right there!

"It really entered my body! What is the origin of this necklace!"

Looking at the scales tattoo, Luo Cheng was lost in thought.

He had a hunch that these nine-colored scales were extraordinary, and that the Martial Soul he Awakened had a deep connection with them.

"I can only go to the Ji Family in the future and ask my mother personally."

Unable to figure it out, Luo Cheng no longer wasted time. When he went to the Ji Family in the future and saw his mother, he would naturally understand.

"Continue to Cultivate!"

Thinking of the Ji Family, Luo Cheng urgently wanted to become stronger.

That Ji Yuanhao, who could severely injure his grandfather and father with a single palm, must have already completed Body Tempering and surpassed the six Mortal Transformation Realms!

Compared to him, Luo Cheng was too weak now!

The next morning.

Luo Cheng woke up early, washed up, and walked towards his grandfather Luo Mingshan's courtyard.

He planned to check on his grandfather's injuries.

As he neared, Luo Cheng stopped.

Outside the courtyard stood several young men and women, with Luo Qi, the current prominent figure of the Luo Family, at the very front.

The few of them also noticed Luo Cheng.

One person was about to greet Luo Cheng but was glared back by Luo Qi.

"Isn't this our Ji Family Young Master Luo Cheng? Luo Cheng, quickly release your egg Martial Soul and let us feast our eyes," Luo Qi said with a smile, walking towards him.

Laughter erupted among the others.

Luo Cheng frowned.

In the past, he was a Genius of the Luo Family, a Young Master of the Ji Family, with the opportunity to go to the Ji Family for training. These people were obsequious to him before and after.

Especially Luo Qi, who used to stick to him every day, calling him 'Brother Luo Cheng' and asking him not to forget him when he went to the Ji Family.

But now...

This was truly realistic.

Slightly exhaling, Luo Cheng ignored the other party and walked into the courtyard.

Seeing Luo Cheng ignore him, Luo Qi's face darkened, and he stepped in front, blocking him, and said with a smile, "Luo Cheng, let me tell you something, I've already Advanced to Body Tempering Fourth Level!"

"Is that so? Congratulations."

Luo Cheng nodded calmly.

Luo Qi's expression was very ugly.

In his opinion, Luo Cheng, upon hearing of his rapid Breakthrough, would surely be envious, jealous, or even upset!

However, Luo Cheng had an indifferent expression, which made him feel very displeased!

He was the number one Genius of the Luo Family now!

"I'm going in to see grandfather."

Luo Cheng entered the courtyard.

"Damn it, he still thinks he's the Ji Family Young Master! He's just a Waste that the Ji Family doesn't want!"

Luo Qi felt a surge of anger with nowhere to vent.

In the past, he was Luo Cheng's little follower, but now that he had Awakened the Five Star Spear Soul, he was a hundred times stronger than Luo Cheng! The other party should look up to him!

"Young Master Luo Qi, he's just a guy who Awakened a Useless Martial Soul, why bother getting angry with him."

"That's right, with the Awakening of the Five Star Spear Soul, it won't be long before you complete the Body Tempering Ninth Level. By then, Luo Cheng and you will be people from two different worlds!"

The people next to him spoke up one after another.

Hearing this, Luo Qi's mood improved considerably, and he sneered:

"Getting angry with him? Is he even worthy?"

Luo Cheng didn't hear the discussion outside, and even if he did, he wouldn't care too much.

After yesterday's events, his goal was no longer the small Luo Family, or even Qishan City, but a broader world.

Inside the room.

Luo Mingshan lay on the bed, his face pale, still in a coma.

He learned from the nearby pharmacist that most of the power from that palm strike yesterday was borne by his grandfather, who not only suffered severe internal injuries but also damaged his meridians, making it difficult to recover in a short time.

Even if he recovered, he probably wouldn't be able to return to his previous state.

"Grandfather..."

Luo Cheng held Luo Mingshan's large hand, his eyes slightly red.

Since childhood, besides his father, his grandfather was the one who doted on him the most.

Looking at his grandfather's pale face, the hatred in Luo Cheng's eyes grew more and more intense.

"Grandfather, don't worry, one day, I will make that Ji Yuanhao kneel before you and kowtow in apology!"

Creak!

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and several figures walked in.

Besides Luo Qi and the others, there was also a woman at the front.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, dressed in fine silk, elegant and noble, with a pair of long, narrow Phoenix eyes. She was Lin Yan, Luo Qi's mother!

"Aunt..."

Luo Cheng was about to bow but was interrupted by Lin Yan: "Luo Cheng, you still have the nerve to come here! If it weren't for you, would your grandfather be like this?"

Luo Cheng was surprised; in the past, his aunt had always been solicitous and caring towards him, never even raising her voice.

Lin Yan raised her voice and sneered repeatedly: "Your grandfather used to treat you like a treasure, saying you were a Genius! With boundless prospects. I never thought you'd be such a Waste, even Awakening a Useless Martial Soul!"

"An Undeveloped Martial Soul with not even a single star, not to mention the Ji Family not wanting you, if word gets out, my Luo Family will become a laughing stock! We'll be ridiculed!"
