Second Martial Soul

Li Xun gathered his thoughts and looked at Ning Fengzhi and the other two.

Ning Yuan had already left.

Matters involving martial soul combinations were too confidential for an outsider like him to overhear.

"Uncle Ning, I think you may have misunderstood. My main ability is control."

"Look." Facing the three men's surprised gazes, Li Xun manipulated the sapling.

Under his command, the sapling swayed from side to side. The movement was slight, but it was enough to prove that he truly could control plants.

Ning Fengzhi did not react at first.

He had just been discussing with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo what kind of Spirit Beast Li Xun should choose for his First Spirit Ring.

Only after a long while did he mutter, "Good, good... So your martial soul can also develop in the control-system direction."

Chen Xin and Gu Rong's eyes lit up as well.

Compared to a healing-system Soul Master, the sect gaining a control-system Soul Master was undoubtedly the better outcome.

What had always ensured a sect's safety for a hundred years was powerful force.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not lack money. If anything truly happened, they could simply hire healing Soul Masters.

They had always worried that, after they were gone in a hundred years, the sect would have no worthy successors.

Now that the sect had a powerhouse who could be nurtured from childhood, this was what they truly wished to see.

"And Uncle Ning, when I awakened, it seemed that I actually developed two martial souls."

Not giving the three men time to react, Li Xun held out his left hand. "Everyone else only had one, but I had two, so I didn't bring it out."

As Soul Power surged within him, a kunai appeared in his hand in an instant.

If he had a choice, Li Xun would never want to see this martial soul for the rest of his life.

Because he might have been the first Hashirama Senju to die after something went wrong with Impure World Reincarnation—killed by a shuriken.

But in this world, Twin Martial Souls were an enormous advantage. They could earn him Boss Ning's attention and make him stronger than others.

"Hm? Twin Martial Souls!!"

"Seven Kill Domain, activate!" Startled, Chen Xin immediately released his domain, enveloping the entire main hall.

Within the domain, he was the absolute master. Not even the slightest disturbance could escape his senses.

"It really is... Twin Martial Souls!" Ning Fengzhi stared at the kunai in Li Xun's hand with utter disbelief.

Because of the flaws in his own martial soul, he had always been deeply devoted to martial soul research.

He had encountered records of Twin Martial Souls in ancient texts.

Now that he was seeing someone who had truly awakened Twin Martial Souls, his mind could not help but grow dazed.

"Lao Jian Ren, it seems we were both mistaken," Gu Rong said, his face full of disbelief.

"Xiao Xun, what you did was right... Not just now—never reveal your Second Martial Soul in front of others in the future either."

Ning Fengzhi gave Li Xun a deep look. "Unless, by then, you already have the strength to protect yourself."

Li Xun's maturity far beyond his years made Ning Fengzhi take notice, but he did not think too much of it.

The surprises Li Xun had given him today were already more than enough.

Since Li Xun was willing to reveal the matter of his Twin Martial Souls to them, it meant that he had completely tied himself to the warship of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Uncle Ning, Sword Grandfather, Bone Grandfather." Li Xun addressed each of them in turn.

Since he had decided to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, building closer ties was essential.

"This is my Second Martial Soul. It is called Kunai from Eight Hundred Meters Away."

"This martial soul can be used in both close combat and at range, and it comes with an innate ability."

"No matter how much force I use to throw it, it will travel in an absolutely straight line within eight hundred meters. Beyond eight hundred meters, its trajectory depends on the force I use."

Li Xun spread open his palm and gently pushed the kunai resting in it forward.

As though it had been hurled with tremendous force, the kunai instantly left Li Xun's palm and shot ahead.

Thud—

After a dull impact, everyone's gaze turned toward where the kunai had landed.

The kunai had sunk deeply into one of the hall's corner pillars.

Its tail end was perfectly level with Li Xun's palm.

"It travels in a straight line within eight hundred meters regardless of throwing force. What a strange ability."

Chen Xin raised a brow. "Its innate talent alone already exceeds my attack range. Xiao Xun, although I cannot sense any pressure from your martial soul, its quality may already be close to the very highest tier."

Ning Fengzhi worked hard to calm himself, then began pondering how to develop Li Xun's Martial Soul.

"That's right. This Martial Soul should be of very high quality. Although it has the limitation of moving in a straight line, Xiao Xun can still use this ability to continuously wear down his opponents from afar."

"And it can also be used together with his first Martial Soul."

"For example, use a control-type Martial Soul to restrict an enemy's movements, creating the conditions for the Second Martial Soul to land a guaranteed hit."

The more Ning Fengzhi spoke, the brighter his eyes became.

"And as Xiao Xun's level rises, he can add some Soul Rings that help with precision. This Second Martial Soul could completely kill enemies from an extremely long distance."

Li Xun nodded at his words. Ning Fengzhi truly was knowledgeable, and the direction he offered was quite sound.

People all said that Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was the continent's foremost theoretical master, but in truth, they had all overlooked Ning Fengzhi.

As someone with a flawed Martial Soul himself, how could Ning Fengzhi, the head of a sect, have studied Martial Souls any less than Yu Xiaogang?

"However, Twin Martial Souls also have a drawback."

"That is, when the Second Martial Soul gains Soul Rings, it can conflict with the first Martial Soul, placing a burden on the body. One careless mistake, and the body could explode to death."

As Ning Fengzhi spoke of this, he looked somewhat worried. "But don't worry, Xiao Xun. Uncle Ning will definitely find a way to help you resolve this flaw."

"Before then, you must not add any Soul Rings to your Second Martial Soul."

"Thank you, Uncle Ning."

Li Xun thanked him sincerely.

He knew his own situation best. In his eyes, the drawbacks of Twin Martial Souls were nothing at all.

Wood Style's powerful self-healing ability, soul bones, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Immortal Grade herbs.

Any one of those, taken alone, would allow his Second Martial Soul to gain several more Soul Rings.

But Ning Fengzhi's attitude made him feel very warm inside.

"Don't be afraid. My father will definitely be able to help you solve it." Ning Rongrong patted her chest as she spoke from the side.

From the beginning, she had stood nearby and watched them talk.

At first, when Li Xun revealed his Innate Full Soul Power, she had felt somewhat upset.

She thought she was about to fall out of favor.

But when Li Xun revealed his second Martial Soul, all she felt was shock.

It was the first time she had heard of someone awakening two Martial Souls.

Especially when she saw the Martial Soul called Kunai shoot explosively from Li Xun's palm.

Hearing her, Li Xun smiled at Ning Rongrong. "Mm, I believe in Uncle Ning."

Ning Rongrong was only six years old now, a tiny little child, and had not yet been spoiled into the person she would become a few years later.

Li Xun could clearly sense her goodwill.

"Haha, with Rongrong saying that, Daddy will definitely succeed."

Ning Fengzhi smiled at Ning Rongrong, then turned to Li Xun. "Xiao Xun, would you be willing to take me as your master?"

"Though there may not be much I can teach you, I can do my utmost to help you along your path of cultivation."
