The Second Super Bloodline: Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!
"Jiang Taichu, how exactly did you escape the effects of my poison?"
Dugu Yan looked at Jiang Taichu, eager for an answer.
"Vitality."
"Although my Soul Power Level is far below yours, the vitality within my body is beyond anything you can compare with."
"With my powerful vitality, I can even withstand your Jade Phosphor Red Poison head-on, let alone when I've also used my Blue Silver Domain. Your Jade Phosphor Red Poison has almost no effect on me."
Jiang Taichu explained slowly.
"A domain? What's that?"
Hearing the unfamiliar term, Dugu Yan found herself puzzled again.
"A domain is something my Martial Soul was born with. When a Soul Master who has one activates it, it's like adding another Soul Skill."
Jiang Taichu did not hide anything.
Few Soul Masters on the continent knew about domains.
Besides, he was already so powerful. Wasn't it perfectly normal for him to have a domain?
"That domain is pretty amazing, then."
Dugu Yan continued asking:
"By the way, Jiang Taichu, your Martial Soul is clearly Blue Silver Grass. Why is it so powerful?"
"It's different from the Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters I remember."
She had too many questions.
After fighting Jiang Taichu just now, she was certain that his Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass.
But wasn't Blue Silver Grass a Trash Martial Soul? Why was it so powerful?
At that moment, Ye Lingling also came over to Dugu Yan and Jiang Taichu.
"Yes, yes, Yanzi asked exactly what I wanted to know."
"Little Taichu, why is your Blue Silver Grass different from other Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters'?"
Ye Lingling blinked her big eyes, which were full of confusion.
The result of the match had caught her off guard.
She had never dreamed that Jiang Taichu would defeat Dugu Yan so overwhelmingly.
Jiang Taichu pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
"Listen, let me tell you a story."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling gave him their full attention, waiting for him to begin.
"Have you heard of Yu Xiaogang?"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.
"Yu Xiaogang's father is the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. By rights, with a Titled Douluo for a father, he should have awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul."
"But the opposite happened. He awakened a Mutated Martial Soul, the Pig Martial Soul, and his Innate Soul Power was only half a level. He wasted half his life and is still a good-for-nothing."
"So, do you understand?"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged another glance, each able to see the bewilderment in the other's eyes.
"What does that have to do with you?"
Jiang Taichu spread his hands.
"My Blue Silver Grass is also a Mutated Martial Soul. It's just that mine mutated in a good direction, so it's ridiculously powerful."
"Huh?"
"Just because of a mutation?"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were utterly baffled.
"What else could it be? You both saw it. My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and you can't fake the facts."
Although Jiang Taichu's explanation was a stretch, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling could not think of another.
It wasn't as if Blue Silver Grass had some hidden emperor Martial Soul.
That would be even more absurd.
"Then your luck is incredible. A Trash Martial Soul mutated straight into a top-tier Martial Soul."
Dugu Yan was genuinely happy for Jiang Taichu.
In this era, there was no such thing as a super Martial Soul.
In the world's classification of Martial Souls, the strongest category was top-tier Martial Souls.
After the match, Jiang Taichu parted ways with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
In the days that followed, Jiang Taichu's life in Heaven Dou City grew peaceful.
No one came looking for trouble, and all Jiang Taichu had to think about each day was how to improve his strength.
Besides that, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling often dropped by Jiang Taichu's courtyard.
The three of them continued to grow closer.
They went from new acquaintances to ordinary friends, and then to close friends who could confide in one another.
As time passed, Jiang Taichu sold more and more Life Essence, and his reputation in Heaven Dou City grew.
The crown prince's residence.
"Jiang Taichu, an interesting genius."
"His Martial Soul ability can condense Life Essence, and as a Soul Master, he defeated a Power Attack System Soul Grandmaster in a single strike."
"He's close to the Dugu Family and the Ye Family, though. If I get the chance, I'll see whether I can bring him under my command."
In a bedchamber, a refined-looking man murmured softly to himself.
Clearly, Jiang Taichu had caught his attention.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Boss, have you heard about that Jiang Taichu? Everyone in Heaven Dou City is talking about how he can match or even surpass the geniuses of our Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"What do you say we go have a match with him and prove that the geniuses of Heaven Dou Royal Academy aren't people some ordinary genius from a backwater can compare with?"
Shi Mo said to Yu Tianheng, who stood before him.
"There's no need to pay it any mind."
"That Jiang Taichu does have some skills. Defeating a Soul Grandmaster as a Soul Master has earned him the right to be mentioned alongside us."
"But surpassing us? That claim really is a bit of a fairy tale."
Yu Tianheng lightly clenched his fists, his face full of confidence.
They were all children of great families, studying at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Not only did they have powerful Martial Souls and talent, but they also had abundant resources to help them.
What was more, after the academy's training, their combat experience far surpassed that of ordinary Soul Masters.
Under those circumstances, they did not believe they would lose to some wild genius from who knew where.
He glanced at Shi Mo beside him.
"Besides, we've cultivated for several years longer than he has. Wouldn't challenging him to a match be bullying him?"
But Shi Mo spoke up in objection:
"Boss, we could just use one-ring cultivation in the match against him. Wouldn't that be fine?"
"Besides, lately, Sister Yanzi and Sister Lingling have both been running off to see Jiang Taichu. They barely spend any time with us anymore."
Hearing this, Yu Tianheng tightened his fists slightly, his thoughts unknown.
At the same time, he understood why Shi Mo had brought up Jiang Taichu in front of him.
On the one hand, he was unhappy that people outside were belittling the geniuses of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
On the other, Jiang Taichu's appearance had cost him two good companions, so it was only natural for him to feel resentful.
"Fine. I'd like to see whether he really is as powerful as the rumors say."
Yu Tianheng made his decision.
"I've heard he sells Life Essence at a certain place every month. We'll go find him then."
Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Osler, and Yu Feng all nodded in agreement.
At that very moment.
On a small hill outside Heaven Dou City, covered in Blue Silver Grass.
Jiang Taichu woke from his meditative cultivation and let out a long breath.
"Whew~"
"Four months have passed. It's been half a year since I came to Heaven Dou City. Ah Yin's strength has now reached the four-thousand-year level, and my Soul Power Level has reached eighteen."
"It won't be long before I break through to Soul Grandmaster. I should start preparing for the second bloodline."
As for the second super bloodline, Jiang Taichu already had an idea in mind.
"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!!!"
