Shared Heavens from Douluo Continent

Everyone present was stunned by this scene. Wasn't Dai Changsheng supposed to awaken the White Tiger Martial Soul?

Although Martial Soul mutations had appeared among past members of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, at most, they had mutated into other tiger-type Martial Souls.

This was the first time anyone had seen a Beast Martial Soul mutate into a Tool Martial Soul like Dai Changsheng's.

Just as everyone was utterly confused, Dai Changsheng suddenly raised his left hand. Immediately afterward, a palm-sized White Tiger Martial Soul appeared out of thin air in his palm.

Bishop Luo Dun's pupils suddenly contracted, and he cried out involuntarily, "Tw... Twin Martial Souls!"

One had to know that across the entire Douluo Continent, only two cases of Soul Masters awakening Twin Martial Souls had been clearly recorded in the past century.

Aside from the Soul Master who had long since died, the other person to awaken Twin Martial Souls was Spirit Hall's current Pope, Bibi Dong.

Chapter 3: Innate Full Soul Power

Bibi Dong was the strongest Pope in Spirit Hall's history and also held the record for becoming the youngest Title Douluo.

Outsiders believed that Tang Hao had set the record for the fastest breakthrough to Title Douluo when he did so at forty-four, unaware that Bibi Dong had already broken through at the age of thirty-six.

However, to avoid arousing the wariness of the two great empires, Bibi Dong had deliberately ordered the news sealed away. Only Spirit Hall's upper echelon knew about it.

"F-Fourth Prince, hurry and test your Soul Power."

Bishop Luo Dun, the first to recover from his shock, hurriedly handed the Blue Crystal Ball used to test Soul Power to Dai Changsheng.

"Whoosh!!!"

The instant Dai Changsheng pressed both little hands against the Blue Crystal Ball, it burst with brilliant blue light, dyeing the entire hall into a blue ocean.

"It really is Innate Full Soul Power. Th-this is wonderful!"

Bishop Luo Dun said excitedly, "Fourth Prince, your cultivation talent is something seen only once in a century. So long as you have a renowned teacher to guide you, you will surely become a Title Douluo in the future.

His Holiness the Pope of our Spirit Hall is also a Title Douluo who awakened Twin Martial Souls. If you can take her as your master, your future will surely be boundless!"

"Uh..."

Faced with Bishop Luo Dun's invitation, Dai Changsheng deliberately frowned as though troubled. "As for whether I should take His Holiness the Pope as my master, I should first ask Father Emperor for his opinion, shouldn't I?"

"That's right! This old man was too presumptuous. We should indeed ask the Star Luo Emperor for his opinion first."

After calming his excitement, Bishop Luo Dun gave Dai Changsheng a kindly smile. "However, this old man believes the Star Luo Emperor will agree. After all, this is a joyous occasion for both Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire.

Tomorrow, this old man will personally... No! I'll take you to discuss this with the Star Luo Emperor right now."

After saying that, Bishop Luo Dun had the vice bishop beside him continue overseeing the Martial Soul awakening ceremony, then personally escorted Dai Changsheng to the palace to meet the Star Luo Emperor.

The reason Bishop Luo Dun was acting so urgently was that he had recalled the Star Luo Empire's rule of royal princes' great slaughter.

If those who supported Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai learned that Dai Changsheng had awakened Twin Martial Souls and possessed Innate Full Soul Power, he would likely die in an accident before long.

That was why Bishop Luo Dun took Dai Changsheng directly to see the Star Luo Emperor. So long as the Star Luo Emperor learned of this first, he would surely find a way to protect Dai Changsheng.

The Star Luo Emperor might not care much about Dai Changsheng as a son, but he definitely cared deeply about whether the Star Luo Empire could remain prosperous and powerful in the future.

If Dai Changsheng could become Bibi Dong's personal disciple, he might even become Spirit Hall's next Pope someday. At that point, the Star Luo Empire would have a great chance of unifying Douluo Continent.

Led by Bishop Luo Dun, Dai Changsheng soon met the Star Luo Emperor.

The Star Luo Emperor was only in his forties. He was a burly, handsome middle-aged man dressed in luxurious purple-gold robes, radiating an imposing aura even without showing anger.

The Star Luo Emperor first glanced at Dai Changsheng before getting straight to the point. "Bishop Luo Dun, why did you seek an audience with Us so urgently?"

"This old man has come to congratulate Your Majesty!"

Bishop Luo Dun cupped his hands in salute. "At today's Martial Soul awakening ceremony, the Fourth Prince not only awakened Innate Full Soul Power but also awakened Twin Martial Souls!"

"What? Is that true?"

The Star Luo Emperor's expression changed drastically, and only then did he turn his gaze to Dai Changsheng.

Although Dai Changsheng was the Star Luo Emperor's son, he was not favored. Altogether, the number of times he saw him each year did not exceed ten.

Faced with the Star Luo Emperor's incredulous gaze, Dai Changsheng obediently raised both hands and summoned the White Tiger Martial Soul and Tiger Head Saber Martial Soul.

Seeing this, the Star Luo Emperor could not help laughing. "Good, good, good! As expected of Our fine son!"

As the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Emperor knew many secrets and naturally understood the terrifying potential of Twin Martial Souls.

Under normal circumstances, so long as a Soul Master who awakened Twin Martial Souls did not die prematurely, they would surely break through to become a Title Douluo in the future.

Moreover, Soul Masters who awakened Twin Martial Souls could wait until they broke through to Title Douluo before adding Soul Rings to their second Martial Soul. By then, they could attach Soul Rings over ten thousand years old to every slot of their second Martial Soul.

The Star Luo Emperor had never paid Dai Changsheng much attention, but now that he learned this son of his possessed such extraordinary cultivation talent, he could not help taking him seriously.

"Besides congratulating Your Majesty, this old man has another request and hopes that Your Majesty will grant it."

Taking advantage of the Star Luo Emperor's excellent mood, Bishop Luo Dun hurriedly pressed on. "Your Majesty, while the Fourth Prince awakening Twin Martial Souls is indeed a cause for celebration, he also needs a suitable renowned teacher to guide him, lest his talent go to waste.

Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, aside from His Holiness the Pope of our Spirit Hall, there is no second Title Douluo who has awakened Twin Martial Souls. Therefore, this old man wishes to ask Your Majesty's permission for the Fourth Prince to take His Holiness the Pope as his master!"

"..."

The Star Luo Emperor's expression shifted slightly. After pondering for a while, he said, "For Fourth to enter the Pope's tutelage would be his good fortune. We approve!"

Since Spirit Hall had yet to reveal its ambition to dominate Douluo Continent, the two great empires' attitude toward it involved more than wariness and vigilance. They also wished to win Spirit Hall over.

Whether it was to resolve the backlash caused by Twin Martial Souls or to make it easier to win over Spirit Hall, the Star Luo Emperor had no reason to refuse.

"Your Majesty is wise. Once this old man returns, I shall report this matter to His Holiness the Pope. I believe His Holiness will soon give Your Majesty a satisfactory reply. This old man shall take his leave now."

"Wait!"

Just as Bishop Luo Dun was preparing to leave, a somewhat childish voice suddenly rang out.

Bishop Luo Dun, whose robe hem had been tugged by Dai Changsheng, smiled kindly and asked, "Fourth Prince, do you have another question?"

If Dai Changsheng truly became Bibi Dong's personal disciple, he might even become Spirit Hall's Pope in the future. Naturally, Bishop Luo Dun would not dare disrespect him.

"Grandpa Luo Dun, can I go back to the Martial Soul Saint Hall with you?"

Dai Changsheng blinked his large watery eyes, putting on an innocent expression. "I don't even know what His Holiness the Pope is like. Can you tell me about her?"

During the new book period, there will be two updates every day, at 1 AM and 8 AM.

Chapter 4: Three Lives Martial Soul

The reason Dai Changsheng wanted to return to the Martial Soul Saint Hall with Bishop Luo Dun was not because he wanted to learn about Bibi Dong, but because he wanted to stay away from the dangerous palace.

After all, the cultivation talent Dai Changsheng had displayed posed a grave threat to Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai's positions. There would certainly be many people who wanted to get rid of him.

Especially since Dai Mubai and the others' birth mother, the Empress, controlled the inner palace. Even the palace maids and eunuchs assigned to serve Dai Changsheng had all been personally arranged by the Empress.

Dai Changsheng did not want to have to test every meal for poison from now on.

"This..."

Hearing that, Bishop Luo Dun's eyes flickered with interest, but he still looked toward the Star Luo Emperor with a deliberately troubled expression.

Looking at Dai Changsheng's seemingly innocent appearance, the Star Luo Emperor narrowed his tiger eyes and said meaningfully, "Fourth is a good child who knows filial piety. In that case, let him stay temporarily at the Martial Soul Saint Hall."

As the winner of the previous generation's royal princes' great slaughter, the Star Luo Emperor naturally saw through Dai Changsheng's little scheme, but he had no intention of exposing it.

Because the Star Luo Emperor knew exactly how ruthless the Empress was. Otherwise, despite having a harem of three thousand beauties, he would not have had only four sons.

When the Second Prince died unexpectedly years ago, the Star Luo Emperor suspected the Empress had been involved, but there was no evidence.

One had to know that the Star Luo Empire's Empress was no ordinary person. Not only was she the legitimate daughter of the Zhu Family, but she was also an Agility Attack System Soul Douluo.

If the Empress and the Star Luo Emperor joined forces to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they could even unleash power comparable to a Title Douluo.

Therefore, even if the Star Luo Emperor had truly found evidence that the Empress had murdered a prince, he would likely have chosen to turn a blind eye.

"Thank you for Your Majesty's trust. This old man shall take the Fourth Prince and leave first."

"Goodbye, Father Emperor~"

Under Bishop Luo Dun's guidance, the two soon rode a carriage back to the Martial Soul Saint Hall.

To ensure Dai Changsheng's safety, Bishop Luo Dun specially cleared out a guest room in his own residence for him to stay in.

As time slowly passed, the noble children who had come to attend the Martial Soul awakening ceremony also returned home one after another. News that the Fourth Prince had awakened Twin Martial Souls and possessed Innate Full Soul Power soon spread throughout Star Luo City.

After the Empress learned of this, she wore a beaming smile on the surface, as if she were happy for the Star Luo Emperor, while inwardly she was desperate to kill someone.

However, when the Empress wanted to send someone to manufacture an accident and have Dai Changsheng die prematurely, she discovered that he had already left the palace, and she had lost the best opportunity to act.

Meanwhile, after Zhu Changfeng, the current head of the Zhu Family, learned of this, he developed the idea of betting on both sides.

Zhu Changfeng had two daughters and three sons.

His eldest legitimate daughter was named Zhu Zhuyun. She was thirteen years old, possessed level-eight Innate Soul Power, and had already been betrothed to the First Prince, Dai Weisi.

His second legitimate daughter was named Zhu Zhuqing. She had only just turned six and had also attended today's Martial Soul awakening ceremony. Her Innate Soul Power was level seven.

According to Zhu Changfeng's original plan, he intended to betroth Zhu Zhuqing to Dai Mubai.

That way, no matter whether Dai Weisi or Dai Mubai ultimately seized the throne, the Zhu Family's main branch would retain its position.

Yet no one had expected Dai Changsheng to suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Someone like Dai Changsheng, who had awakened Twin Martial Souls, was highly likely to break through to Title Douluo in the future. His chances of seizing the throne even far exceeded Dai Weisi's.

Therefore, Zhu Changfeng planned to change his strategy and betroth Zhu Zhuqing to Dai Changsheng, who was close to her in age.

As for Dai Mubai's choice of fiancée, he could simply select a legitimate daughter of suitable age from a branch of the Zhu Family. In any case, his chances of seizing the throne were practically nonexistent.

The golden crow set in the west, and the bright hare rose in the east.

After enjoying a lavish dinner, Dai Changsheng bathed and changed clothes comfortably under the service of two beautiful maids before returning to his bedroom to rest.

Lying on the bed, Dai Changsheng stared at the canopy overhead for a while, then circulated the Soul Power inside him and concentrated it in his eyes.

Within Dai Changsheng's pair of pitch-black eyes, his black pupils suddenly began to tremble, slowly splitting into two pupils and transforming into a pair of eerie Double Pupils!

Perhaps because Dai Changsheng had shared the soul power of his other two selves, he had awakened three Martial Souls in total: the White Tiger Martial Soul, the Tiger Head Saber Martial Soul, and the Double Pupil Martial Soul.

Dai Changsheng understood the importance of always holding something back. Therefore, he had only revealed the White Tiger Martial Soul and Tiger Head Saber Martial Soul to the outside world, concealing the existence of the Double Pupil Martial Soul.

The Double Pupil Martial Soul was not only an exceptionally rare Original Martial Soul, but also a Spirit System Martial Soul. It was very similar to Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul, though of even higher quality.

Unfortunately, it would be at least another ten thousand years before the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm became a million-year Soul Beast. Otherwise, Dai Changsheng could have found a way to make him the first Soul Ring of his Double Pupil Martial Soul.

To be honest, Dai Changsheng had not expected to awaken a Three Lives Martial Soul. He had originally thought that awakening Innate Full Soul Power would already be excellent.

After calming his excited emotions, Dai Changsheng concealed the Double Pupil Martial Soul once more. He tossed and turned for quite a while before gradually falling asleep.

Elsewhere, Bishop Luo Dun had also finished writing a secret letter about Dai Changsheng. He had a trusted Soul Emperor who had awakened a Flight Martial Soul rush to Spirit City at top speed.

The next morning

After Bishop Luo Dun finished breakfast with Dai Changsheng, he discussed the matter of choosing a main Martial Soul to cultivate with him.

"Fourth Prince, which Martial Soul do you want to cultivate first? The White Tiger Martial Soul or the Tiger Head Saber Martial Soul?"

Faced with Bishop Luo Dun's question, Dai Changsheng answered without hesitation, "Grandpa Luo Dun, I want to cultivate the White Tiger Martial Soul first."

After a night of careful thought, Dai Changsheng had already mapped out the future development paths of all three Martial Souls.

Dai Changsheng planned to cultivate the White Tiger Martial Soul first. Once he broke through to Title Douluo, he would find a way to give the Tiger Head Saber Martial Soul entirely offensive Soul Skills and make it follow an extreme attack route.

As for the spirit-oriented Double Pupil Martial Soul, it would take an auxiliary route and make up for Dai Changsheng's other shortcomings as much as possible.

Bishop Luo Dun was not surprised by Dai Changsheng's answer. Smiling, he stroked his beard and said, "Since the Fourth Prince wishes to cultivate the White Tiger Martial Soul first, we must carefully choose a Soul Ring suitable for you."

After saying that, Bishop Luo Dun took out a stack of documents from his Storage Soul Tool bracelet.

Chapter 5: Star Soul Forest

Some of those documents recorded what Soul Skills other Soul Masters who had awakened the White Tiger Martial Soul had specifically obtained after absorbing Soul Rings.

The rest recorded information on the distribution of Soul Beasts within the Star Luo Empire.

Although the Soul Skills each Soul Master ultimately awakened after absorbing a Soul Ring were random, Soul Masters who awakened the same Martial Soul and absorbed Soul Rings dropped by the same type of Soul Beast had a high chance of awakening the same Soul Skills.

For example, the Clear Sky Sect's four affiliated clans all followed extreme paths. They usually hunted the same types of Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings, so even if the Soul Skills they awakened differed, their effects were very similar.
