Soul Tool in Hand

In Master's office, Tang Jiu sat cross-legged on the floor while Master patiently taught him a self-created method for cultivating Soul Power.

"This technique is based primarily on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Soul Power cultivation method, then improved by combining techniques passed down through other Beast Spirit clans."

"Not only does this technique cultivate Soul Power quickly, but more importantly, it can use Soul Power to nourish the body and improve one's physical condition. It is especially helpful in increasing a Soul Master's ability to withstand absorbing Soul Rings."

As he taught Tang Jiu, Master could not help sighing. Back then, he had studied these things extensively in order to break through his Soul Power bottleneck, only to discover in the end that he could not use any of them at all!

Master then taught Tang Jiu this upgraded Soul Power cultivation method of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Guided by Master's Soul Power, Tang Jiu's Soul Power began circulating through his body along a special route, continuously drawing energy into him. The moment he began cultivating, his entire body felt warm and indescribably comfortable.

Suddenly, the previously gentle absorption of Soul Power transformed into a massive tidal surge, pouring ferociously into Tang Jiu's body like a raging tsunami.

Master's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly shouted, "Stop at once, Little Jiu!"

Hearing Master's voice, Tang Jiu immediately stopped and asked in confusion, "Teacher, what is it?"

Master's face darkened. "You were cultivating far too quickly just now. Something may have gone wrong! Perhaps there is a massive flaw in the technique I improved."

Tang Jiu thought about it. He did not feel uncomfortable at all, so he shook his head. "Teacher, there's no problem. My whole body feels warm."

"How is that possible? According to my deductions, Soul Power should not cultivate this quickly!" Master said solemnly. "You should stop cultivating this technique. I'm afraid something might happen to you. After all, I have never cultivated this technique myself."

Tang Jiu scratched his head. "Teacher, could it be because this is my first time actively cultivating Soul Power?"

"What? Are you saying that you have never actively cultivated Soul Power before?" Master was utterly shocked!

Tang Jiu nodded honestly. "No one ever taught me!"

"Then how did your Soul Power reach Level 19?" Master asked.

"I usually just trained and tempered my body, then ate meat. That was all!" Tang Jiu thought for a moment before answering. Tang San could cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill, but he had truly relied on talent alone. Fortunately, his talent was not bad!

Master's mouth twitched. He had exhausted every possible method just to break through a level, while this boy only needed to eat meat!

Feeling depressed, Master took out a piece of jerky from Tang Jiu's luggage and sniffed it. It did not seem to be ordinary pork, so he asked, "What kind of pork is this?"

"Rampaging Thorn Pig! It was about seven or eight meters long," Tang Jiu recalled.

"This is actually meat from a Thousand-Year Spirit Beast!" Master was once again astonished. As expected of the Clear Sky Douluo. Even the meat he fed his children came from Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts. What extravagance!

"Teacher, this Soul Power cultivation method is amazing. I feel like I'll break through soon. When the time comes, can I get a First Soul Ring around fifteen hundred years old? A thousand-year Soul Ring seems like too much of a waste of my talent!" Tang Jiu looked at Master very seriously.

Master felt his heart twitch violently. Comparing people really could make one furious!

His third Soul Ring was actually inferior to Little Jiu's First Soul Ring!

"Then we'll leave tomorrow for the Soul Hunting Forest. We'll first hunt a Soul Ring for Xiao San, then wait there for my helper and hunt Thousand-Year Soul Rings for you two!"

Master immediately decided to set out at once.

Early the next morning, they did not even attend the opening ceremony. Master directly hired a carriage and took Tang Jiu and Tang San to the Soul Hunting Forest outside Nuoding City.

"Teacher, didn't you say that I would need to hunt at least a three-hundred-year Spirit Beast for my Soul Ring, and that it would be best to wait for your helper?" Tang San asked in confusion.

Master had clearly stated before that he was not skilled in combat at all.

"I have made a new discovery regarding Little Jiu's Martial Soul. If my deduction is correct, hunting Spirit Beasts under five hundred years old will be effortless for us!" Master said.

"What discovery?" Tang San was extremely curious, and Tang Jiu also looked toward Master.

"Little Jiu's Martial Soul can restrict a Soul Master's Soul Rings. Have you not considered that it can also restrict a Soul Master's cultivation? Restricting a Hundred-Year Soul Ring corresponds to restricting a Spirit Beast with a hundred years of cultivation!"

"And if my guess is correct, the limit of Little Jiu's Soul Ring restriction should be the age of the maximum Soul Ring he can withstand! For example, if Little Jiu's body can currently withstand a fifteen-hundred-year Soul Ring, then he can restrict an opponent to Soul Rings no older than fifteen hundred years. If a Soul Master's third Soul Ring is only a thousand years old, then Little Jiu can directly restrict that third Soul Ring!"

As Master spoke of his research findings, an uncharacteristic confidence gleamed in his eyes.

"I never knew my Martial Soul was this powerful!" Tang Jiu was stunned as well. Wouldn't hunting Spirit Beasts be as easy as killing chickens from now on?

Directly suppressing a Spirit Beast's cultivation—this was simply absurdly overpowered!

"What a freak!" Tang San's mouth felt bitter. Why did the distance between him and Little Jiu seem to be growing wider and wider?

Master heard the blow in Tang San's tone, but who would not be discouraged by Tang Jiu's talent?

"Xiao San, you are also very strong. You will definitely become a great Soul Master in the future!" Master encouraged him, patting Tang San's head. Tang San's unbalanced state of mind immediately improved considerably. After all, he had been an expert in his previous life. He still possessed this much mental fortitude. So what if I can't compete in the early stage? Can't I compete in the later stages?

He, Tang San, was also the owner of Twin Martial Souls!

"Third Brother, don't be discouraged. If you go all out in the future, maybe you'll still be able to fight me to a draw!" Tang Jiu comforted him. Just as Tang San was about to be modest, Tang Jiu added, "That is, provided I only use one Martial Soul."

Tang San: "..."

At that moment, he truly wanted to say, This definitely isn't my brother! I really don't want to know him!

Even Master was angered into laughter by Tang Jiu. He really was young, always eager to compete and win!

He took two belts from his robes and said, "Your teacher is giving each of you a Soul Tool. This was originally one belt, with twenty-four gemstones on it. Each gemstone contains one cubic meter of storage space. I split it in two, so each of you gets one belt! Give them new names yourselves."

Master then told them how to use the Soul Tools. They only needed to inject Soul Power to store or retrieve items.

Tang Jiu had finally seen the legendary storage belt and happily began playing with it. This was an essential item for surviving in the wilderness. It could carry so many things without becoming burdensome.

"I'll call it the Twelve Beauties of Jinling!"

Tang Jiu promptly gave the belt a name. Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night had thus been split apart!
