Ultimate Twin Martial Souls!

Hearing this, Ye Chen looked at Xian Lin'er beside him, then turned to Qian Duoduo on the other side.

The couple nodded at him, their eyes full of encouragement.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, let go of Xian Lin'er's hand, and walked up to Xuan Zi.

"Let's begin, Drunkard Grandpa!" Ye Chen said firmly.

Calling him Grandpa Xuan felt like it put him a generation below, so Ye Chen had always called Xuan Zi "Drunkard Grandpa" since childhood. It also suited Xuan Zi's image quite well.

I can definitely become a Soul Master! I want to rise above the rest! I refuse to waste my life like this! Ye Chen kept encouraging himself inwardly.

He was still somewhat nervous, unsure what kind of Martial Soul he would possess.

He was certainly looking forward to it, but he was also afraid that he would awaken some useless Martial Soul incapable of cultivation. If that happened, not only would his dream be shattered, but wouldn't his journey to this world have been for nothing?

Xuan Zi said nothing. A soft white light lit up in his hand, and under everyone's watchful eyes, he pointed into the void. That wisp of gentle light filled the entire room before finally converging upon Ye Chen.

Ye Chen felt warm all over. After the white energy entered his body, a tingling numbness spread through him.

After the brief numbness passed, a powerful wave of drowsiness struck Ye Chen. Everything before his eyes became blurred, and the entire world turned into a golden ocean.

As far as his eyes could see, there was nothing but dazzling gold. No life could be seen, yet he could sense a vigorous vitality.

Then the scene abruptly shifted. Ye Chen felt as though he had fallen into endless darkness, able to feel only bone-chilling cold and boundless nothingness.

Inside the room, if an outsider had entered at that moment, their jaw would surely have dropped.

Were these truly the famed elders of Sea God's Pavilion, the people whose strength stood above the world?

No one on the entire continent had ever seen them look this tense.

As they watched Ye Chen's Soul Power awaken, they seemed even more nervous than they had been during their own awakenings. Every pair of eyes was fixed on the small figure in the room.

Mu En alone was an exception. He was reclining in his chair with his eyes closed, resting peacefully, but everything happening in the room was clearly within his grasp.

Suddenly, an ultimate radiance burst forth from Ye Chen's body. In an instant, it turned the room into an ocean of light, just like the day six years ago, when ten suns had appeared in the sky.

When everyone recovered, they were shocked to discover that the temperature in the room was rising sharply. Even the walls formed from the branches of the Golden Sacred Tree had been scorched with scattered spots of light.

The blazing radiance lasted only an instant before it all rushed into Ye Chen's body. In front of him, a tiny sapling appeared.

The sapling was only as thick as a pen shaft and no taller than an infant's arm. Its four leaves were covered in golden patterns, radiating a holy aura of light.

"W-What kind of sapling is this? Just its Martial Soul form can emit such an ultimate aura of light!"

As everyone looked at the tiny sapling before Ye Chen, waves of shock surged through their hearts.

Even Mu En, who had always been calm and composed, ended his feigned rest.

He had known that Ye Chen was extraordinary, but he had never imagined he would be extraordinary to this extent.

Wasn't this ultimate light aura the very one he had personally felt on that night six years ago?

Even though this was already the second time he had felt it, he still had the urge to kneel and worship.

His Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul possessed an exceptionally pure Light Attribute, yet it still felt intensely suppressed by this attribute.

And this was merely Ye Chen's Martial Soul—nothing more than a sapling. If it were a genuine living being, what sort of aura would it produce?

In Mu En's understanding, even the legendary Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul could not compare to this sapling in terms of the purity of its Light Attribute.

Xuan Zi, standing before Ye Chen, felt it even more intensely than the others.

His body trembled slightly, as though his soul itself were shuddering.

The pressure of that Martial Soul had already transcended attributes and truly descended upon him.

Just as everyone was marveling at Ye Chen's Martial Soul, another change occurred.

Unlike before, the room instantly became engulfed in endless darkness. Even the light of the Golden Sacred Tree was completely suppressed.

Though everyone was clearly close at hand, they could no longer sense anyone else's presence apart from their own.

Bone-chilling cold filled the small room. Even with their cultivation, they could feel that icy chill penetrating into their marrow.

The darkness likewise lasted only a brief instant before vanishing once more.

At the same time, two pairs of enormous wings spread out from Ye Chen's back.

At first glance, the four wings resembled butterfly wings somewhat. In the center of each wing was a crescent moon, constantly exuding an extreme, chilling cold.

Other than that, there was only endless blackness—black so pure that not the slightest impurity could be found within it.

The room fell into a brief silence, as if time itself had come to a complete halt.

Ye Chen slowly woke up, and his two Martial Souls returned to his body and disappeared.

"Drunkard Grandpa, Grandpa Mu, uncles, what's wrong with all of you?"

Though Ye Chen was incomparably excited inside, he still pretended to be confused as he asked.

At the moment his Martial Souls awakened, a voice had sounded in his mind, informing him what his two Martial Souls were.

How could he not know why everyone was staring blankly? While finding it amusing, he could not help wanting to tease them.

These were the most elite group of people on the entire continent. Only he, Ye Chen, dared to make fun of them.

At that thought, a trace of smugness appeared at the corner of Ye Chen's lips.

"Xiao Chen, they were frightened by your Martial Souls." Mu En, the strongest among them, was the first to recover.

Mu En wore a kindly smile and mercilessly joined Ye Chen in teasing the others.

Because he knew Ye Chen's origins, he had long expected that Ye Chen's Martial Souls would be extraordinary.

The truth had proven his thoughts correct.

Ye Chen grinned, giving Mu En a knowing look, making Mu En shake his head helplessly when he saw it.

At the same time, after witnessing Ye Chen's Martial Soul Awakening firsthand, Mu En silently thought, As expected.

Everyone in the room who could stand here naturally possessed exceptional mental fortitude. After their brief shock, they began marveling at Ye Chen's talent.

Though they did not know what kind of existences these two Martial Souls were, either one alone could stand at the pinnacle of all Martial Souls.

Not to mention that he possessed Twin Martial Souls!

Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er also looked at Ye Chen with eyes full of gratification.

Although they both hoped Ye Chen could live an ordinary, peaceful life, they were still delighted that their son possessed such talent.

At the same time, everyone present could not help but feel a trace of doubt.

Had Ye Chen truly been picked up by Mu En at the gates of Shrek City?

Mu En had hurriedly left back then, only to return with this infant. What could have made him so anxious?

Though they had their doubts, no one voiced them. They knew that if Mu En had not told them, he must have had his reasons.

But one thing was certain: Ye Chen was absolutely connected to the strange phenomenon from six years ago.

It was not the first time they had sensed those two ultimate auras.

I had thought about this story for a long time before finally deciding to write it. It was both an expression of my love for the world of Douluo Continent and for my own dream of writing.

(Many readers have mentioned this, so let me clarify: the protagonist's first Martial Soul is a growth-type Martial Soul that will evolve each time he obtains a Soul Ring. His second Martial Soul is not truly a butterfly either; it will change later on. This was part of the outline when I first began writing, but since so many readers have brought it up, I figured I should explain.)
