Chapter 731 — Possessed by the Martial Soul

Bloodstains were everywhere in the hall, left behind, no doubt, by the Bull-Fighting Realm warriors from before.

The farmer still stood before the throne, eyes still shut, not looking at him.

Suddenly the farmer spoke. "Are you ready?"

Shen Mu nodded. "I am."

He walked forward, and all at once his blood-and-qi surged up as if exploding, filling the entire hall in an instant!

The farmer opened his eyes; in the bloody light two pupils flashed like lightning. Then the farmer's fist-intent spirit erupted. Though he himself did not move from where he stood, a figure shot straight at Shen Mu!

Shen Mu laughed aloud and met it with a punch. As his fist art opened, it was like the splitting of primordial chaos, opening a great gate!

"I attest the Martial Soul with my blood!"

A thunderous boom came from the temple, and after a moment all fell silent.

Shen Mu walked out from behind the hall and looked up at the sky. A long blood-red rainbow spanned the heavens; that was his martial spirit.

"A body full of fighting spirit, like a bull battling the host of stars, so brilliant it cannot be looked at directly."

Inside the hall, the farmer still stood there, eyes closed, continuing to nurture his spirit. "The Kaihuang line has a successor after all. A good lad."
