My Grandson Has What It Takes to Become a God!

"Choose one of these two martial souls as your first martial soul. As for the other, keep it hidden. Don't reveal it lightly until you reach the Title Douluo level!"

Neuvillette naturally understood Lakesius's reasoning and did not ask further. He nodded and said, "Old man, I understand."

"You're not going to ask why?"

Lakesius asked in confusion. This was his chance to show off his knowledge, yet Little Neuvillette did not ask anything. He found that somewhat unacceptable!

Hearing this, Neuvillette's eye twitched. Lakesius's eager expression, practically screaming for him to ask, was truly hard for him to handle.

"Why?"

With no other choice, Neuvillette decided to pretend he did not know and asked.

"Haha..."

"Twin Martial Souls differ from ordinary soul masters, who possess only one martial soul. As the name implies, they possess two martial souls."

"To break through the limits, you only need to obtain soul rings for one martial soul. The other does not need soul rings yet; you can wait until your cultivation is higher before obtaining them."

"Think about it. Once you break through to Soul Douluo, or even Title Douluo, would the soul rings you acquire for your second martial soul still be mere hundred-year or thousand-year soul rings?"

"That is why Grandpa says you possess the bearing of invincibility."

"As for why I told you not to reveal your Twin Martial Souls, it is because an innocent man gets into trouble for possessing a treasure!"

"It was not as though Twin Martial Soul masters had never appeared before, but no one had successfully added nine soul rings to their second martial soul. But what if someone succeeded?"

"If they lack such talent themselves, they will envy those who possess it and assassinate such geniuses—such monsters!"

"Before you have sufficient strength, it is best not to reveal it if you can avoid doing so. Our Eight Great Families stand together and are not to be trifled with, but those people's unreasonable assassinations are impossible to guard against. What if something happened before you had the chance to grow..."

"Do you understand?"

Lakesius patted Neuvillette's shoulder and earnestly lectured him.

He was afraid Neuvillette would have a child's urge to show off how different he was from others. That went against the ways of hidden families!

Only one's own strength was true strength. The public struggles for fame and profit had nothing to do with hidden families; they could simply watch them as a joke.

Neuvillette nodded at Lakesius's teaching. His heart was clear as a mirror, so how could he not understand?

"Mm, I understand!"

Lakesius: "..."

In the end, his efforts had been wasted. Neuvillette was simply too smart; he felt no sense of accomplishment from teaching the younger generation at all!

"Come, let's test your Innate Soul Power. Grandpa can sense that you possess Innate Soul Power, but I'm not too sure what level it is."

As he spoke, Lakesius discreetly took out a testing crystal. This was not the "cheap stuff" used by Spirit Hall deacons, but a high-grade crystal capable of testing Soul Power below the Soul King level!

It merely looked somewhat larger than an ordinary testing crystal, but its function was no different.

As a Peak Soul Douluo, it would have been strange as hell if he could not tell that Neuvillette possessed Innate Soul Power!

Neuvillette glanced at the crystal ball without hesitation and placed his right hand directly on it.

Immediately, a pulling force came from the crystal ball, absorbing Neuvillette's "Soul Power" and making it glow.

Neuvillette looked at the crystal ball in confusion. Good lord, he had Twin Martial Souls—one was the Hydro Dragon King Neuvillette, and the other was the divine tool Tome of Eternal Flow!

Yet this crystal ball had not even lit up halfway!

Could it be that he was useless?

A good-for-nothing with Innate Soul Power below level five?

Seeing this, Lakesius swallowed hard. He had already believed Neuvillette's Innate Soul Power would not be low, but this was far more than merely not low!

This was fucking Innate level twenty!

Forget seeing it—he had never even heard of it!

Wasn't Innate Full Soul Power level ten?

Then what was Neuvillette's Innate level twenty supposed to be?

"Old man, I'm not some useless person with Innate Soul Power below level five, am I?"

Neuvillette asked instinctively, completely bewildered!

The "Soul Power" in his body was not abundant, but it was not scarce either!

Could such "massive" Soul Power really only amount to Innate level three or four?

Then just how powerful would Innate Full Soul Power be!

Hearing this, Lakesius's eye twitched as he gave Neuvillette a strange look.

A useless person with Innate Soul Power below level five?

If those words got out, who knew how many soul masters would want to beat him to death!

Across the entire Douluo Continent, how many soul masters had Innate Soul Power above level five?

Soul masters who could reach Innate level five were few enough to count on one's fingers, while those above level five were even rarer.

Wait, did this brat think the crystal ball in his hand was meant to test level-ten Soul Scholars?

Glancing at the crystal ball in his hand, Lakesius's mouth twitched again.

Innate level twenty!

He had picked up a peerless monster!

Even with his state of mind, he could not calm down for a long while.

Twin Martial Souls and Innate level twenty—either of these talents alone was one in ten million, even one in a hundred million.

With both talents gathered in one person, did Neuvillette possess what it took to become a god?

To become one of those illusory, ethereal gods!

After that thought arose, the look in Lakesius's eyes as he gazed at Neuvillette became even stranger. Had smoke risen from his ancestors' graves, or had he spent all the luck his ancestors had left behind, for him to pick up such a grandson?

Though the Eight Great Families did not have a Title Douluo overseeing them, they were by no means simple. They were a major power that had been passed down for many years.

Naturally, they knew certain things that those upstart factions did not.

Gods truly existed.

It was simply that no gods had appeared on the Douluo Continent for a very, very long time.

"Little Neuvillette, this isn't a testing crystal for Soul Scholars. It is a testing crystal for those below level fifty."

"Your Innate Soul Power is level twenty!"

Lakesius pretended not to be shocked as he spoke calmly.

"Level twenty? So that's how it is."

Neuvillette fell into thought. Innate Soul Power beyond the limit, level twenty?

It was not unacceptable; it just seemed a little low. How could the "quality" of his two martial souls only amount to level twenty?

Well, he had thought he was only level three or four before, a useless person. Who knew the old man had simply used the wrong testing crystal?

"Little Neuvillette, don't casually tell others about your Innate Soul Power level either. If anyone asks, say you have Innate Full Soul Power. Remember, Innate Full Soul Power is only level ten!"

"If you can avoid fighting people, do your best to avoid it!"

Lakesius was worrying himself sick. His grandson's talent was too terrifying; if it were exposed, he did not know whether he could protect him!

"Tomorrow, Grandpa will take you to hunt a soul ring. Go back and rest first..."
