The Passionate Sword and the Ruthless Sword Martial Souls; Soul Tools Shock the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Qian Renxue had awakened her Martial Soul alongside Lin Bai only after transmigrating.
And when Lin Bai registered her household registration, he had used the name "Qian Xue."
So although she had awakened the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, she hadn't aroused anyone's suspicion.
In fact, even if she had used the name Qian Renxue, no one would have suspected her.
It was incredible enough that someone had transmigrated from ten thousand years in the past.
Besides, the Qian Renxue of this world should have fallen ten thousand years ago.
And names were often repeated on the Douluo Continent.
A trip to Star Luo City would reveal that even some of the stray dogs by the roadside were named Mubai, Oscar, Tang San, and the like.
But because the Angel God had fallen, the ten levels of god-given Soul Power were gone, and Qian Renxue's Innate Soul Power was only level ten.
Lin Bai also had full Innate Soul Power at level ten.
After transmigrating, he had awakened Twin Martial Souls: the Passionate Sword and the Ruthless Sword.
And he knew full well that these were the Martial Souls of two quasi-god-level powerhouses from Legend of the Dragon King, Amorous Douluo and Ruthless Douluo.
The Passionate Sword excelled at control, while the Ruthless Sword excelled at attacking and killing.
Together, the twin swords had boundless power!
But Lin Bai had only ever revealed the Passionate Sword as his Martial Soul.
Even the Soul Master who had awakened his Martial Soul didn't know the Ruthless Sword Martial Soul existed.
Huo Yutong, meanwhile, had received the standard treatment of a child of the plane.
Because she had lacked food and clothing as a child, her Innate Soul Power was a pitiful level one.
But after Lin Bai transmigrated, he used his position as the old steward to ensure that the servants and maids never dared bully Huo Yun'er and her daughter Huo Yutong again.
Life became much easier for the mother and daughter.
The old steward and the previous White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao's father, had been sworn brothers who shared life and death on the battlefield.
So even the White Tiger Duchess could do nothing to him.
Besides, Huo Yutong was a girl and posed no threat to the White Tiger Duchess's two sons.
So the duchess eventually stopped targeting Huo Yun'er and Huo Yutong.
With the old steward as their protective umbrella and Lin Bai's help, Huo Yun'er and Huo Yutong had lived fairly comfortably over the years.
Although Huo Yutong was still somewhat thin and frail, she had received adequate nutrition, and her cultivation had progressed quite well.
Both Lin Bai and Qian Renxue were now level twenty-eight Soul Grandmasters.
Huo Yutong was level twenty and needed to hunt for her Second Soul Ring.
Lin Bai waved his hand, signaling Qian Renxue and Huo Yutong to quiet down.
"I'll tell you how we'll arrange things with the academy later."
"For now, come with me to Star Luo City to withdraw some money, and then we'll go shopping!"
At the word "shopping," Qian Renxue and Huo Yutong, who had just been arguing about the academy, stopped at once.
The two girls exchanged a look, each seeing a gleam of excitement in the other's eyes.
Shopping was such a temptation for the two girls that they couldn't help cheering aloud.
"Long live Brother Xiao Bai!"
"Great! I'm going to buy lots and lots of snacks!"
Then they each took one of Lin Bai's arms, one on either side of him.
"Let's go now!"
Half an hour later, Lin Bai brought Qian Renxue and Huo Yutong to a trading house in Star Luo City.
The trading house covered a vast area and was divided into several trading areas.
The liveliest of them was naturally the Soul Tool trading area.
Many Soul Engineers were hawking Soul Tools they had made, and there was even a dedicated Soul Tool testing area.
As soon as they entered the trading area, Qian Renxue and Huo Yutong were dazzled by the array of Soul Tools.
In the most conspicuous spot in the trading area stood an enormous billboard detailing the levels and classifications of Soul Engineers and Soul Tools.
From Level 1 Soul Engineers to Level 9 Soul Engineers, each increase in level brought an increase in the power of the Soul Tools they could make.
It was said that the Sun Moon Empire's most powerful Level 9 Soul Engineers possessed the terrifying combat power to destroy an entire city in an instant.
The three had just reached the testing area when they heard a low boom.
A Soul Engineer raised a Soul Cannon in his hands, and a scorching red beam shot out.
It melted a cubic meter of refined steel more than fifty meters ahead into red-hot molten iron.
"Hiss..."
At the sight, Huo Yutong couldn't help drawing a sharp breath.
"What terrifying power!"
The Soul Engineer frowned when he heard Huo Yutong's words.
But when he turned and saw that the speaker was a beautiful girl, he proudly patted the Soul Cannon in his hands.
"Miss, this is only the most basic Soul Cannon!"
"We Soul Engineers use Soul Tools to fight. We don't need powerful Martial Souls!"
"With nothing more than our wide variety of Soul Tools, we can gain greater destructive and defensive power than traditional Soul Masters!"
Meanwhile, above the testing area, many Soul Engineers were testing Flying Soul Tools.
Streaks of light crisscrossed the sky, moving faster than many agility-type flying Soul Masters.
Soul Tool Shields were also being tested.
A translucent shield lit up, and no matter how the Soul Masters testing it attacked, it did not budge.
Heaven Dou Empire, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
In the sect's main hall, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong were all gazing toward the sky screen.
"Such a large block of refined steel, melted into molten iron in a single strike..."
Chen Xin's gaze sharpened slightly.
"That man's cultivation was clearly only at the three-ring Soul Elder level, but if that shot had struck a Soul King, it would have been enough to severely injure him."
"Weren't Soul Tools always used only for lighting and storage?"
"Since when did they become so powerful?"
Gu Rong also frowned as he spoke.
"And according to what was said in the sky screen, using a Soul Tool doesn't depend on one's Martial Soul at all."
"Does that mean even support-type and food-type Soul Masters could use Soul Tools to defend themselves, or even kill enemies?"
"Uncle Chen, Uncle Gu."
A light of wisdom shone in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.
"The Martial Souls of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's direct descendants are all Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas. They can only ever add seven Soul Rings, can never break through to Soul Saint, and have no combat power to speak of."
"But the Soul Tools in the sky screen don't need powerful Martial Souls to unleash powerful combat strength..."
"If every member of our sect were equipped with Soul Tools like those..."
Ning Fengzhi clenched his fists, his eyes shining with excitement.
What kind of chemical reaction would result from combining the strongest support-type Martial Soul with powerful Soul Tools?
"Soul Tools are an immense opportunity for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
"Uncle Gu, pass down my order: commit the full strength of the sect and spare no expense to find craftsmen who can make Soul Tools!"
At the same time, in the sky screen, Lin Bai looked at Qian Renxue and Huo Yutong and suddenly chuckled.
"Your sizes haven't changed yet, have they?"
