Three Together, Xie Xie the Clown

Wu Changkong brought the three of them to his office.

His office was pitifully small, only ten square meters. Other than a desk, a bookcase, and a chair, there was barely room for anything else.

"When I called you 'trash' just now, I meant you too, Xie Xie, aside from Fang Yang and Tang Wulin."

Wu Changkong's voice was icy as his gaze slowly swept over the three of them.

Hearing this, Xie Xie's entire body stiffened, and his hands hanging at his sides unconsciously clenched into fists.

"First, you, Xie Xie. Is hiding your Twin Martial Souls fun? Your Soul Power is at rank eighteen, but that is mostly due to the innate advantage of Twin Martial Souls, isn't it?"

Wu Changkong narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone carrying a trace of cold mockery. "What, are you proud of that?"

Upon hearing the words Twin Martial Souls, Xie Xie stared at Wu Changkong in shock. How did Teacher Wu know he had Twin Martial Souls?

"Well, Teacher, wielders of Twin Martial Souls are rare. Of course I'm proud of it. This is what I have to be proud of."

"I usually don't want to expose my Twin Martial Souls because I want to catch my opponents off guard.

"Once my opponents know that I have Twin Martial Souls and prepare beforehand, their advantage will be greatly diminished. That would be unfavorable to me!"

Xie Xie voiced his thoughts. He had indeed held back during the earlier battle and had not used his second Martial Soul.

If he had unleashed both Martial Souls, perhaps he really could have gone toe-to-toe with Tang Wulin's extraordinarily resilient Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

But... he did not know that Tang Wulin also possessed a second Martial Soul!

Hearing this, Tang Wulin seemed to think of something.

Wu Changkong said coldly, "You are still far from good enough. There are plenty of trash wielders of Twin Martial Souls.

"As an Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master, you were bound by a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master, yet you still have the nerve to flaunt your Twin Martial Souls."

"I..."

Xie Xie's face turned bright red, and for a moment, he could not say anything. In that battle, he really had been caught by Blue Silver Grass Entanglement...

"And you, Tang Wulin. What is going on with your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul...?"

Wu Changkong's gaze shifted to Tang Wulin, his voice still icy.

Tang Wulin subconsciously scratched his head before saying, "Teacher Wu, ever since I fused with a Soul Spirit, my Martial Soul has undergone some changes."

"Release it and let me see." Wu Changkong ordered.

Tang Wulin did not hesitate. He spread his palm, and a cluster of Blue Silver Grass slowly emerged. Unlike ordinary Blue Silver Grass, these vines were a deeper shade of blue.

Faint Deep Blue patterns flowed along the edges of their leaves, giving off a strange, subtle aura.

A trace of surprise flashed through Wu Changkong's eyes as he said coldly, "Try binding my hand."

"Alright."

At Tang Wulin's command, Blue Silver Grass coiled around Wu Changkong's wrist.

Wu Changkong gently tugged at the vines and discovered that their toughness far exceeded his expectations. He could even sense the strange Soul Power fluctuations contained within them.

"This is not ordinary mutated Blue Silver Grass... Your Martial Soul has not simply mutated."

Wu Changkong frowned slightly, his fingertips brushing over the patterns on the surface of the vines.

He suddenly looked up as something occurred to him. "This is Bloodline Awakening!"

Tang Wulin looked utterly bewildered. "Bloodline Awakening? Teacher, what does that mean?"

The air in the office seemed to freeze at that moment, and even Xie Xie unconsciously held his breath.

Only Fang Yang remained calm. This was precisely what he had awakened in Tang Wulin using Sea God Power.

As for how Tang Wulin came by his dire straits, don't ask.

"Bloodline Awakening means that Special Bloodline flows within your body. Such bloodlines carry powerful inherited strength and special abilities that can enhance one's innate Martial Soul."

Wu Changkong slowly explained, then abruptly changed the subject. "Do you know of Sea God Tang San?"

Fang Yang remained silent, while Tang Wulin and Xie Xie nodded repeatedly.

Twenty thousand years ago, Tang San became the Sea God and ascended to the God Realm. This was a legend known by every Soul Master on Douluo Continent.

Tang San was most famous for the Twin Martial Souls that had shaken the continent: the supreme Plant Type Martial Soul, the Blue Silver Emperor, and the number one Weapon Martial Soul in the world, the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Tang Wulin, after your Bloodline Awakening, your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is evolving toward the Blue Silver Emperor," Wu Changkong said coldly.

Just then, Tang Wulin suddenly asked, "Teacher Wu, what does the Clear Sky Hammer look like?"

"It is completely black, with a handle half a foot long. Its hammerhead resembles a miniature forging hammer, with a special glow flowing across its surface and dark patterns winding around it..." Wu Changkong described in detail.

Before he had finished speaking, Tang Wulin suddenly opened his left hand, and a small dark-red hammer appeared out of thin air.

Faint dark-red patterns flickered across the hammerhead, radiating a terrifying pressure.

"Teacher Wu, is my hammer one?" Tang Wulin asked softly.

For the first time, Wu Changkong revealed a shocked expression.

Xie Xie's eyes widened as he stared incredulously at the hammer in Tang Wulin's hand. "You... you have Twin Martial Souls too?"

Wu Changkong quickly recovered, but there was a hint of fervor in his voice. "This is the Clear Sky Hammer... Tang Wulin, where are you from?"

"Aolai City. My father is Tang Ziran," Tang Wulin answered truthfully.

Wu Changkong fell into brief thought before sternly telling Fang Yang and Xie Xie, "You two must keep Tang Wulin's secret."

"Understood," the two replied in unison.

Xie Xie looked at Tang Wulin with a little more warmth. As expected of this young master's friend. He really isn't ordinary.

Then he shot Fang Yang a suspicious glance. Could this guy be hiding some secret too?

You know what? Xie Xie was actually pretty smart!

"Remember, do not casually reveal the Clear Sky Hammer. I will explain the exact reason to you later."

Wu Changkong solemnly instructed Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin hurriedly nodded and withdrew his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

Finally, Wu Changkong turned his gaze toward Fang Yang. "As for you... your Elemental Flame is probably not ordinary either, along with that terrifying physical constitution."

Fang Yang remained calm and merely spread his hands. "I'm not too sure myself."

"Release your Martial Soul," Wu Changkong said coldly.

Fang Yang raised his right hand, and a Deep Yellow Flame danced in his palm. To everyone's surprise, the temperature around the flame changed.

Wu Changkong stared at it for a moment before his voice, rarely, carried a hint of amazement. "This flame... its attribute is no weaker than Ultimate Fire. It may even..."

He paused, seemingly choosing his words carefully. "Surpass Ultimate Fire..."

Fang Yang said nothing.

What a joke. This is one of the Heavenly Flames! When a Heavenly Flame appears, Myriad Fires bow in submission!

Wu Changkong suddenly seemed to realize something, and his sharp gaze fixed on Fang Yang. "That terrifying physical constitution of yours... could it also be some sort of bloodline power?"

Fang Yang smiled, neither confirming nor denying it.

At the side, Xie Xie's eyes widened as he looked from Tang Wulin to Fang Yang. Suddenly, the Twin Martial Souls in his possession no longer seemed so impressive.

His mouth twitched as he thought, So I'm the weakest one here?
