Twin Martial Souls, Golden Eyes Add Flourish

Tuoba Xi was talking and talking when he blinked, his gaze then fixed on his beloved grandson.

Tuoba Yan looked startled and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I don't know why," Tuoba Xi said, "but I feel like you've changed since you awakened your Martial Soul."

"Changed?"

A chill ran down Tuoba Yan's spine.

Tuoba Xi shook his head.

Looking at Tuoba Yan's face, Tuoba Xi always felt that beneath that youthful face lay the heart of an adult.

The words he'd just spoken were completely inappropriate for a six-year-old boy.

Feeling uneasy, Tuoba Yan turned away from Tuoba Xi and hastily explained, "My Martial Soul is a mutated one. Some people experience physical changes when they awaken their Martial Soul. When the body changes, one's mindset and awareness naturally undergo subtle shifts as well."

Serve the ruler who provides, and act in their best interest.

A man is dead when he has no friend.

The boy understood Tuoba Xi's principles.

If one encountered a wise ruler, one should pledge unwavering loyalty.

But what if one encountered someone who was unable to distinguish right from wrong, a mentally unstable person? Should one still pledge unwavering loyalty?

No one truly understood Bibi Dong the way the boy did.

Others might be deceived by her facade, but Tuoba Yan knew her past intimately.

The former Archangel of the Spirit Hall, after suffering persecution from Qian Xin, her heart had become twisted and warped.

On the surface, she was ambitious, wanting to elevate the Spirit Hall and establish the Martial Soul Empire, unifying the continent.

In reality, she harbored treacherous intentions, intending to use outside forces to sever the Spirit Hall and the Qian Clan, completely destroying the foundations of a lineage that had lasted for a thousand years.

Bibi Dong sought to destroy the fate of both the Spirit Hall and the Qian Clan.

Such actions were no different from those of a madman.

Right now, countless people were being deceived by her false image, and the unfortunate Tuoba Xi would continue to serve such a madwoman until his death.

Tuoba Yan couldn't help but think, if Tuoba Xi knew the truth, he would never rest in peace!

However, these things hadn't happened yet; they were events of the future.

Tuoba Yan couldn't bring himself to tell Tuoba Xi about these things.

He knew that if he were to explain Bibi Dong's true intentions, Tuoba Xi would simply accuse him of slandering her.

It was worth noting that he was only six years old.

Who would believe a six-year-old boy about events that were going to happen in the future?

Tuoba Xi didn't delve deeply into Tuoba Yan's mature thoughts.

For a family's young master, demonstrating maturity and competence early on was a great blessing for the family.

After a moment, Tuoba Xi, leaning back on the sofa, softened his gaze and tried to keep his tone calm: "Yan'er, your thoughts are dangerously reckless."

"The power of the Qian Clan and the Spirit Hall far exceeds your imagination. In this dog-eat-dog world, the weak can only survive by clinging to the strong."

"Moreover, we are blood-related to the Qian Clan, and the Grand Preceptor is kind and benevolent, worthy of our family's devoted loyalty."

"Let me tell you a secret: the Pope is ambitious and talented. Under her leadership, the Spirit Hall will surely achieve even greater glory. Our Tuoba Clan, by serving her, will surely rise to new heights."

"Someday, if the Spirit Hall establishes an empire, our clan's descendants will enjoy wealth and prosperity!"

"I hope you'll be the same as me and continue to pledge allegiance to the Spirit Hall. I firmly believe we will meet a good end!"

Tuoba Xi envisioned a bright future for his clan, his eyes shining with anticipation.

Looking at the ardent light in his grandfather's eyes, longing for the future of the clan, Tuoba Yan couldn't help but ask, "Are you being so loyal for the sake of the family?"

Tuoba Xi smiled with satisfaction, his tone gentle: "I'm getting old. If I can use my old bones to pave a smooth path for you and the family, even death will be a happy one!"

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Yan's pupils trembled, and a warm feeling surged within him.

He instantly understood the reason why his grandfather was willing to walk through fire and water for the Spirit Hall—to use his life to illuminate the path for his family.

It was truly tragic that, in the future's Twin Gods War, Bibi Dong would fall, and the Spirit Hall would collapse, rendering Tuoba Xi's sacrifice futile, a pointless loss of his life.

Thinking about this, Tuoba Yan asked solemnly, "If there comes a day when the Qian Clan demands sacrifices beyond just you, but the entire family, would you still obey?"

Tuoba Xi walked to the back of the sofa, his large hand resting on his grandson's shoulder, his gaze resolute: "You are my only hope for survival. Whoever dares to harm you will have to get past me first!"

Tuoba Yan pressed on, "What if the order came from Bibi Dong and Qian Dao Flow?"

"I will never agree!"

Tuoba Xi stood tall and proud, a gentle breeze rustling his temples, embodying the bearing of a mighty warrior.

Tuoba Yan was taken aback by his grandfather's unwavering resolve, his expression growing serious, his hands clenching slightly.

At the same time, he made a silent decision: he had to find a way to resolve this dire situation, where he was surrounded by "wolves," a hell-level opening.

Especially to change the tragic fate of his grandfather, who regarded him as more precious than his own life.

"Alright, Yan'er, I haven't come to talk to you about these things. The Grand Sacrifice learned that you awakened a mutated Martial Soul and possess Innate Full Soul Power. As an exception, he has bestowed upon you a Soul Bone."

He waved his hand, and a right arm bone floated into Tuoba Xi's palm.

The energy contained within the Soul Bone caused ripples to emanate through the surrounding space.

This indicates a 30,000-year Soul Bone!

"This is the Exploding Blazing Flame Right Arm Bone, highly compatible with your Martial Soul, and it comes with the Soul Skill, Exploding Flame Strike. The Grand Sacrifice has bestowed it upon you, primarily because of your Innate Full Soul Power, but more importantly, because of the angelic bloodline that flows through you!"

Tuoba Xi waved his hand, passing the Soul Bone to his grandson.

Unexpectedly, the grandson refused the Soul Bone.

"I don't want this Soul Bone!" Tuoba Xi said, his expression bewildered.

The grandson was ranked third on the Dreamer's List, yet he refused a Soul Bone?

It was unprecedented!

Tuoba Xi was stunned. "You don't want it?"

He couldn't believe his ears. "Are you sure? This is an Exploding Blazing Flame Right Arm Bone! It's a treasure!"
