Zhou Sichen, Twin Martial Souls

Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest, outer region.

The Star Dou Great Forest was one of the most vast and ancient Soul Beast forest regions on the Douluo Continent. As far as the eye could see, towering ancient trees stretched endlessly, suffused with the forest's unique fragrance and abundant vitality.

Most of the Soul Beasts living in this outer region were below the Ten Thousand Year Level, but even so, ordinary Soul Kings had to proceed with caution.

Yet within this dangerous forest, an exceedingly strange scene was unfolding.

A massive ice-jade scorpion over three meters long strode forward steadily. Astonishingly, a human was sitting on its back?

Leaving aside the tension and hatred between humans and Soul Beasts, the mere appearance of this enormous scorpion here was enough to defy belief.

That was because this giant ice-jade scorpion was a species unique to the Far North, and one of the region's most powerful overlords.

Its name was the Ice Jade Scorpion.

Legend had it that the Far North possessed three super Soul Beasts known as the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North. Those three mighty Soul Beasts had all surpassed the Hundred Thousand Year realm and were known as Fierce Beasts!

One of those Fierce Beasts came from the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan: the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, ranked seventh among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts!

Yet such a powerful Ice Jade Scorpion had actually become a human's mount?

Anyone who saw this scene would find it utterly inconceivable!

Even more unbelievable was that the human on the Ice Jade Scorpion's back was not very old. Judging solely by his appearance, he was definitely no older than Fifteen Years Old.

Setting aside how this youth had tamed an Ice Jade Scorpion with at least Thousand Year Level cultivation, the fact that he had dared to venture alone into the Star Dou Great Forest was already astonishing enough.

As the oldest and most dangerous Soul Beast forest, this place was indeed synonymous with opportunity and miracles, but its dangers were also beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Even with this powerful Ice Jade Scorpion protecting him, he might not necessarily be able to survive here safely.

The person on the Ice Jade Scorpion's back was a boy who looked to be around Fifteen Years Old. He had sword-like brows and starry eyes, stood 183 centimeters tall, and possessed broad shoulders, a strong back, an inverted-triangle physique, a slim waist, long legs, and cool fair skin.

His black ponytail was meticulously groomed, and he wore a clean, crisp black training outfit.

His name was Zhou Sichen.

He was a transmigrator who, for unknown reasons, had come to the world of Douluo Continent: Peerless Tang Sect and had become the Zhou Sichen from the original story who shared his name.

Perhaps no one even remembered such a minor character, but because he shared Zhou Sichen's name, Zhou Sichen himself remembered him.

In the original story, Zhou Sichen possessed a mutated Treasure Codex Martial Soul. Combined with his decent Innate Soul Power, the mutation of his Martial Soul meant that he would most likely become a formidable expert in the future.

When Zhou Sichen had read the original story, he had only felt that it might have been the protagonist's plot armor. During the Freshman Tournament, Zhou Sichen and his teammates had been defeated before they could even display their true strength.

They clearly all possessed powerful Martial Souls, yet in the end, they had suffered a miserable defeat at Huo Gua's hands...

Fortunately, everything was different now, because Zhou Sichen had transmigrated.

Perhaps it was a transmigrator's benefit, but Zhou Sichen's Treasure Codex Martial Soul seemed to have undergone an even more powerful mutation. It was no longer called the Precious Codex, but the Book of Contracts.

The Ice Jade Scorpion beneath him was the product of his First Soul Ring and also his first Contracted Soul Beast.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Sichen could freely control such a powerful Soul Beast, and the Book of Contracts was far more powerful than that alone.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that he had already reached Level 37 shortly after turning Twelve Years Old was the best proof.

That was even because he had not devoted all his attention to cultivating his Martial Soul. If he had focused solely on cultivation, he might have reached Level 40 shortly after turning Twelve Years Old.

Still, his current progress was not bad. Having reached Level 37 shortly after turning Twelve Years Old, breaking through to Level 40 before turning thirteen was no problem for Zhou Sichen now.

Zhou Sichen had not begun this life as an orphan. In this world, he had family and friends.

The Zhou Family he belonged to was considered a respectable force even across the continent. His grandfather was also a Soul Douluo expert, so in this world where connections and strength mattered, he barely possessed some ability to protect himself.

Thus, Zhou Sichen had never lacked cultivation resources since childhood. The family had practically granted his every request, allowing him to attain his current cultivation and strength.

At that moment, Zhou Sichen sat casually as though nothing were happening, seemingly unable to be jostled no matter what.

The Ice Jade Scorpion's enormous body moved through the massive ancient trees. Whenever something blocked its way, its two huge pincers would extend and directly clear the obstruction.

As the Ice Jade Scorpion advanced rapidly, Zhou Sichen closed his eyes.

He was only Level 37. Naturally, he had not come alone to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Soul Ring. He had come at this particular time for Huo Gua's first great cheat from the original story!

This was not Zhou Sichen's first visit to the Star Dou Great Forest, but if he still gained nothing this time, then the Million Year Soul Ring and Elder Yi, who held sun and moon in his hand and plucked the stars, might remain forever beyond his reach.

At that moment, the Ice Jade Scorpion beneath Zhou Sichen emitted the terrifying aura unique to a Thousand Year Soul Beast. Its aura erupted without restraint.

He... was trying to lure Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

The Ice Jade Scorpion was a Soul Beast species unique to the Far North. If one suddenly appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, would it attract Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's attention?

The answer was certainly yes. Although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's combat ability was mediocre, his Spiritual Power was unmatched.

Besides the Ice Jade Scorpion, Zhou Sichen also released his immense Spiritual Power, because he knew that the host Sky Dream Ice Silkworm needed had to be a Spirit-type Soul Master.

And he happened to be one.

The reason for this was that, besides the Book of Contracts Martial Soul, Zhou Sichen had awakened another Martial Soul.

He was a genuine owner of Twin Martial Souls.

Twin Martial Souls might no longer have been anything remarkable in this era, since there truly were quite a few people with Twin Martial Souls! There were even damn Triple Martial Souls...

But for Zhou Sichen, this was perhaps the benefit and gift of being a transmigrator, because his Second Martial Soul was his own body.

In other words, every part of his body belonged to his second Body Martial Soul.

Besides traditional Soul Masters, this era also had a special and powerful kind of Soul Master whose Martial Souls were called Body Martial Souls.

As their name suggested, Body Martial Souls were originally a part of one's own body.

Body Martial Souls also varied in strength. Generally speaking, the more vital the body part, the stronger the talent and the greater the chance of becoming an expert or undergoing a Second Awakening in the future.

Zhou Sichen's body itself serving as his Martial Soul had never appeared in the history of Body Martial Souls. In other words, his Body Martial Soul would be the strongest on the entire continent.

However, Zhou Sichen had not chosen to cultivate this Martial Soul first. Instead, he had chosen the Book of Contracts.

Yet because of his Body Martial Soul, Zhou Sichen's Spiritual Power far surpassed that of ordinary people. It was not only his Spiritual Power—his Physical Quality and every other aspect also exceeded ordinary people's by several times.

After years of accumulated cultivation, Zhou Sichen's strength had long since surpassed that of Soul Masters at the same level.

Though he was only Level 37, the intensity of his Spiritual Power was already comparable to that of a Level 50 Soul King expert.

With the Ice Jade Scorpion serving as bait, powerful Spiritual Power as the lure, and this timing being extremely close to Huo Gua's arrival, Zhou Sichen did not believe Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would fail to take the bait.
