"You were following me?"
Tian Hao turned around. If it wasn't Bibi Dong, then who else could it be?
"Who was following you? I was just curious and came over to take a look."
Bibi Dong retorted. She definitely hadn't been following him!
She had walked for quite a while earlier, but her legs had grown too weak to continue, especially since she was wearing high heels, so she had rested by the roadside. Then she had noticed that this bastard had left in a horse-drawn carriage at full speed. She had hired a carriage to follow behind him, and then followed him into that person's house to watch the entire process.
She could naturally tell that shifting the fetus's position had been accomplished with Soul Power, but that required an extremely high degree of control over Soul Power.
Even if she removed its attributes, she still couldn't guarantee that manipulating Soul Power alone wouldn't injure the fetus. After all, the fetus was far too fragile.
"Buy some balloons and fill them with water. Use Soul Power to stir the water inside, making it rotate or form various shapes. Then discard the balloons and directly control the water to train.
"There's no trick to it. Practice makes perfect.
"I forgot to close the door when I came out just now. I'm in a hurry to go back. See you!"
Tian Hao answered casually before dashing away, decisively leaving the girl with the weak legs behind.
As the Saintess of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong was watched by many people. He didn't want to interact with her too much, lest he attract attention as well.
"Are you afraid I'll eat you?"
She glared at him angrily, then pondered that training method and found that it made some sense.
She usually focused mainly on cultivating and increasing her Soul Power, especially after mastering the method passed down by her Teacher. However, she hadn't paid much attention to controlling Soul Power.
Although she knew quite a few methods for training control, what that bastard had suggested was extremely simple and could be practiced at any time and anywhere.
"Should I give it a try?"
Somewhat tempted, Bibi Dong decided to try it first.
Tian Hao had no idea what the girl was thinking. He dashed all the way home, only to be interrogated by his parents.
After expending a great deal of effort to escape his parents' clutches, he returned to his room.
I hope things are really as I imagined!
Taking out the Cells he had collected from Bibi Dong's body, Tian Hao stored them in the Sea of Spirit of his Martial Soul. He used his Martial Soul's ability to shrink his Spiritual Will to the Microscopic Level, entering the Cells to observe them.
It was as if he had entered a room. Tian Hao went straight to the cell nucleus and studied the Bloodline power attached to the Chromosomes inside. Sure enough, he made a discovery.
Through his Spiritual perception, he saw two distinct kinds of Bloodline power inside the cell nucleus, and both were extraordinarily powerful.
One gave him the feeling that it could corrode all things, while the other was like an Abyss capable of devouring everything.
"The one that corrodes all things should be the Death Spider Emperor's Bloodline power. The one with the devouring sensation must be the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's Bloodline power."
As he sensed and observed the state of the two kinds of Bloodline power, Tian Hao became increasingly certain of his former conjecture.
The humans of this world had bodies similar to those of humans from his previous life. At the very least, their cell structures were the same.
The difference was that their Chromosomes contained an additional mysterious energy. It should be what this world called Bloodline, and it was also the source of Martial Soul Awakening and power.
After all, the people of this world also developed from the fusion of special Cells from both parents. Naturally, the source was in their Genetic Genes.
Apart from the physical Genetic Genes, there was also energy attached to the Genetic Genes—the Bloodline power. Only through the combined effects of both could Martial Souls be passed down.
"Sure enough, my conjecture is correct. Everyone has the potential to Awaken a Second Martial Soul."
After studying and comparing them, Tian Hao grew increasingly excited.
As an Obstetrician, he didn't merely assist women with natural childbirth. He could also help examine a fetus's position and development during pregnancy. During that process, he would use the umbilical cord for interaction and extract tiny, nearly undetectable amounts of the baby's blood Cells from the Placenta for research. After using his Martial Soul to shrink his Spiritual Will to the Microscopic Level and entering the Cells to compare and analyze them, he had finally discovered the mystery within.
During pregnancy, the stronger Martial Soul Bloodline power originating from either parent would generally suppress the other and absorb nearly all its energy to strengthen itself. Unless something unexpected happened, this would continue forever.
Bloodline power grew fastest while the fetus was developing. After birth, its growth would slow until, at the age of six, it basically reached the limit of Bloodline capacity. Then, during Martial Soul Awakening, the stimulation of Soul Power would guide out the power accumulated by the powerful Bloodline, forming the Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power. That was why Martial Soul quality was positively linked to Innate Soul Power.
Besides one side suppressing the weaker side, a high degree of Compatibility between both sides could also result in fusion. This situation would occur in people who experienced Martial Soul Mutation.
He had studied the body Cells of people with Martial Soul Mutation and discovered that their Bloodline power had fused together, leaving only a single kind of Bloodline power.
Apart from those two situations, there was one more: opposing coexistence.
The two couldn't fuse, but they were equal in rank, and neither could do anything to the other. They would compete for nutrients and energy while growing together, ultimately Awakening together.
Bibi Dong was in this situation. The two opposing and balanced Bloodline powers had confirmed his conjecture.
"Just like Genetic Genes, there are dominant and recessive traits. When a Soul Master Awakens a Martial Soul, they only Awaken the stronger side's Bloodline power and transform it into a Martial Soul. But the weaker side doesn't disappear. It continues to exist Within the Body.
"The Martial Soul I Awakened through Mutation, the Sea of Spirit, Originated From my father. But the Dog Tail Grass Martial Soul Bloodline Originated From my mother is still there as well. It's merely being suppressed. What I need to do now is nurture and strengthen this half of the Bloodline, then Awaken it and turn it into a Second Martial Soul."
Tian Hao was very confident in this theory because, when he was young, he had read his father's Notes on Martial Soul Awakening. He had discovered that, occasionally, the Martial Soul someone Awakened did not originate from either parent's manifested Martial Soul, but from the Martial Souls of their grandparents or maternal grandparents.
This was called skipping a generation in inheritance. In essence, it meant that the recessive half of both parents' Martial Soul Bloodlines had been passed on to the child, allowing it to Awaken.
Although this situation wasn't common, it was enough to prove that recessive Martial Soul Bloodlines could be Awakened.
"What method should I use to nurture that Dog Tail Grass Martial Soul Bloodline?"
After withdrawing his Spiritual consciousness, Tian Hao stroked his smooth chin and Pondered.
That Bloodline had already been suppressed into a recessive state. Nurturing and strengthening it until it finally Awakened would not be easy. At the very least, he needed to forcibly nurture it with a compatible power, and it couldn't be absorbed by his father's Bloodline power.
"If only Mother had Domain Power. Using Mother's Domain Power to strengthen and nurture a Bloodline of the same origin would definitely work... Wait, a domain. The Blue Silver Domain seems quite suitable as well."
Tian Hao suddenly thought of another foolish woman comparable to Bibi Dong, someone who had also caused her own death—the true Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.
The Dog Tail Grass Martial Soul and the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul were both grass-type plant Martial Souls, so their Compatibility was extremely high. Using the Blue Silver Domain might allow him to succeed.
As for whether the half of the Bloodline Originated From his mother was recessive, there was no need to worry at all. Everyone in his mother's village had weed-type Martial Souls. Even if what he had inherited was the other half of his mother's recessive Martial Soul Bloodline, it wouldn't have much influence.
For him, the Most Important thing now was to Awaken his Second Martial Soul. The specific kind of weed Martial Soul he Awakened wasn't important.
"To obtain the Blue Silver Domain, I can only find a way through Ah Yin. If that doesn't work, I'll have to go to the Blue Silver Forest and take a chance with the Blue Silver King. I remember that the Blue Silver Overlord Spear Soul Skill can carry the Blue Silver Domain. Did Not Know whether Ah Yin has this Soul Skill, or whether she has a similar Soul Skill capable of carrying the Blue Silver Domain.
"Sword Douluo's Father, when exactly are you coming to Spirit City to challenge the High Priest? I'm waiting for you, dear!"
As he thought about it, Tian Hao couldn't help thinking of Sword Douluo's Father. He desperately wanted his blood, and even more desperately wanted that Seven Kill Sword Intent.
Sword Douluo's Biological Father: "I, Old Man, have never seen such a shameless person!"
