The Drawback of Twin Martial Souls: Exploding to Death?

The hall was silent.

The Moon Devil controlled Gravity.

The divine Azure Luan commanded Ultimate Wind.

Innate Level Twenty Soul Power, a companion domain, Twin Martial Souls.

The combined impact of these three things was so great that even these experts standing at the pinnacle of the continent needed time to process it.

In the end, Qian Daoliu was the first to break the silence.

His gaze was blazing as he spoke in a deep voice that echoed through the hall:

"Little Chen, tell me, what... are your Martial Souls?"

Ye Chen withdrew his Martial Souls, raised his head, and met Qian Daoliu's gaze. "Great Grandfather, my Martial Souls are the Moon Devil and the Azure Luan."

"The Moon Devil..."

Qian Daoliu repeated softly.

A divine gleam shone in his golden eyes. "The Moon Devil... Little Chen, could it be that... you received the inheritance of some deity?"

The moment those words fell, the gazes of the other six enshrined ones instantly focused on Ye Chen.

Innate Level Twenty Soul Power, a companion domain, such an eerily powerful Martial Soul... If there were no trace of a deity behind it, it was truly difficult to explain.

Ye Chen's thoughts raced.

Zhou Lan was a demon from another world, entirely different from the deity system of Douluo Continent. It would be too difficult to explain.

He might as well go along with it.

After a brief pause, Ye Chen said, "Great Grandfather, when I awakened my Martial Souls, I did indeed receive an inheritance. But... that being never revealed their identity or title to me."

At that.

A flicker of realization passed through Qian Daoliu's eyes.

A deity who had not revealed their identity?

"So that's how it is..." Qian Daoliu slowly nodded, his gaze sweeping over the other enshrined ones. "It seems Spirit Hall has produced another inheritor of a god."

Golden Crocodile Douluo, Mighty Lion Douluo, and the others exchanged looks. Amid their shock, they were also happy for Ye Chen.

Qing Luan Douluo looked at his grandson with immense pride. Yet due to his reserved nature, only a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Little Chen, your talent is exceptional."

Qian Daoliu spoke again, his tone stern. "Precisely because of that, you must be even more cautious. You should understand the principle that a tree standing above the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

Though Spirit Hall was powerful, it could not protect Ye Chen at every moment.

Besides,

It was not thieves that were frightening, but those who constantly had their eyes on you.

Revealing Ye Chen's monstrous talent too early would bring nothing but harm.

Qian Daoliu's gaze swept over the other six enshrined ones as he said gravely, "Nothing that happened in this hall today is to leave this place!"

"Yes, Brother!" the six enshrined ones replied in unison, their expressions solemn.

"To the outside,"

Qian Daoliu continued, "say only that Little Chen awakened the Qing Luan Martial Soul and possesses Innate Full Soul Power."

Qing Luan Douluo, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the others all nodded. They understood that "the outside" referred to the other higher-ups within Spirit Hall.

Qing Luan Douluo stepped forward and pulled Ye Chen to his side. Looking at Qian Daoliu, he said, "Brother, regarding Little Chen's cultivation..."

"You will personally guide Little Chen's cultivation."

After some thought, Qian Daoliu said, "The Moon Devil Martial Soul is far too unusual. Its power and the acquisition of its Soul Rings must be planned carefully; nothing can be done blindly.

"The Qing Luan Martial Soul is your family's inheritance, and you are most familiar with it, so you can begin teaching him that first. As for raising his Soul Power... with Innate Level Twenty, take Little Chen to acquire Soul Rings first."

Qian Daoliu paused and looked at Ye Chen. "Little Chen, you have two choices regarding your cultivation.

"First, temporarily set aside the Soul Rings for the Moon Devil Martial Soul and acquire Soul Rings for the Qing Luan Martial Soul first.

"Second... cultivate the Moon Devil Martial Soul first, and find a Soul Ring that matches it. But that may require waiting for some time."

After a brief consideration, Ye Chen said, "Great Grandfather, I want to cultivate the Qing Luan Martial Soul first."

It was a wise choice.

The Moon Devil Martial Soul controlled Gravity. Ordinary Soul Rings could not match it at all, and forcibly absorbing one might instead cause harm.

Though the Qing Luan Martial Soul had evolved into Ultimate Wind and its requirements were also extremely high, at least powerful wind-element Soul Beasts would suffice. Moreover, his grandfather, Qing Luan Douluo, was highly experienced.

Improving the Qing Luan Martial Soul's strength first would also better nourish him and lay a foundation for bearing the Moon Devil's power in the future.

"Very good."

A trace of approval flashed through Qian Daoliu's eyes. "Third Brother, make the arrangements. Remember, be absolutely cautious. The quality of the Soul Rings may be slightly inferior, but do not take risks under any circumstances.

"Little Chen's safety comes first!"

In Qian Daoliu's eyes, as long as Ye Chen cultivated steadily, he had a great chance of becoming a god. Naturally, he did not want him taking risks.

"Brother, I understand." Qing Luan Douluo nodded heavily.

"Little Chen."

Qian Daoliu looked at Ye Chen.

"Great Grandfather," Ye Chen answered.

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly. "Twin Martial Souls may be powerful, but they have one drawback. Cultivating them is extremely dangerous and can easily cause one's body to explode and die."

"I understand, Great Grandfather." Ye Chen nodded.

The main drawbacks of Twin Martial Souls were Martial Soul conflicts and the body being overloaded.

Ye Chen knew many ways to solve those problems, so he was not worried.

"Mm."

Seeing Ye Chen nod, Qian Daoliu said no more. Smiling kindly, he said, "Little Chen, go rest first. Tomorrow, you will head to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt your first and second Soul Rings."

"Yes, Great Grandfather."

Ye Chen nodded obediently. After bowing, he turned and left the Angel Sacred Hall beneath the affectionate gazes of Qing Luan Douluo and the others.

The heavy doors slowly closed, separating the inside from the outside.

Within the hall,

Only Spirit Hall's seven enshrined ones remained.

The smile on Qing Luan Douluo's face gradually faded, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He looked at Qian Daoliu, who sat in the center with his eyes closed in repose, and said gravely, "Brother, Little Chen's Twin Martial Souls grant him unparalleled talent, but this drawback... is ultimately a sword hanging over his head."

Qing Luan Douluo paused before continuing:

"That woman Bibi Dong... she is the only wielder of Twin Martial Souls to cultivate to the rank of Titled Douluo. She must have a solution."

As his words fell, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Mighty Lion Douluo, and the others also looked toward Qian Daoliu.

Though their relationship with Bibi Dong was poor, this concerned Ye Chen's future. It was indeed a possible shortcut.

No matter what, Bibi Dong was still Spirit Hall's Pope, and Ye Chen was also Spirit Hall's future.

Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes. It seemed as though rivers of light flowed within his golden pupils.

He looked at Qing Luan Douluo, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Third Brother, there is no need to rush."

Qian Daoliu's voice was calm. "I will ask about this matter personally."

"Brother?"

Qing Luan Douluo froze, and the other enshrined ones were also somewhat surprised.

As the Great Enshrined, Qian Daoliu held an exalted position. He was also a Level Ninety-Nine Limit Douluo, and he had not personally set foot in the Papal Palace for many years.

Especially given the subtle and complicated relationship between him and Bibi Dong.

Qian Daoliu offered no explanation.

He took a single step, and his figure instantly merged into a golden halo, shifting from solid to ethereal before vanishing from the hall.

Only a faint aura of light remained, along with the varied expressions on the faces of the seven enshrined ones.

Qing Luan Douluo opened his mouth, but in the end, it became a soft sigh, containing both gratitude and a trace of expectation.

With Brother personally stepping in, the weight of his words would naturally be different. But...

With Bibi Dong's stubborn temperament, and the grievances between her and Brother that were so difficult to resolve, would she really reveal it so easily?
