Chang'an City, at an inn.
Qian Renxue gazed at the Heavenly Curtain through the window.
When she saw Tang San's name, a trace of complexity flashed through her eyes.
That man, whose talent she had once admired and whom she had even considered recruiting, had now made the ranking as well.
In another room.
Yu Xiaogang stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
"Impossible... absolutely impossible..."
The hand holding his teacup trembled violently. Tea spilled all over him, yet he did not notice.
"Xiao San has Twin Martial Souls. He is a perfect masterpiece!"
"Other than Li Xin, how could there possibly be twelve Martial Souls in this world stronger than his?"
"There must be something wrong with this ranking!"
Yu Xiaogang's face twisted. The pride he had taken in his theories all his life suffered an unprecedented blow at that moment.
Xiao Wu, standing beside him, was equally worried.
"Brother..."
She murmured to herself, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
At that moment, Oscar and Ma Hongjun pushed open the door and entered, their expressions terribly grim.
"Grandmaster, we searched everywhere."
"There was no sign at all of Boss Dai or Zhu Qing."
"We asked the attendants at Taibai Restaurant. They only said that Lord Li Xin made a move that day, and then... then no one ever saw them again."
Dai Mubai was dead.
Zhu Zhuqing was missing.
That conclusion cast a shadow over the hearts of everyone from Shrek.
"Spirit Hall must have done it!"
Ma Hongjun slammed his fist onto the table, his eyes blazing with fury.
"Or Li Xin! He's helping the Great Tang Empire eliminate its rivals!"
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart.
"Don't act rashly yet."
"This is Chang'an, not our territory."
"Since we can't find them, things are most likely grim."
"We'll return to Heaven Dou City immediately and tell Xiao San about this. Only after Xiao San absorbs the reward and his strength greatly increases will we have any hope of revenge."
The image above the Heavenly Curtain shifted.
Tang San's reward began to be issued.
[Martial Soul Ranking, Thirteenth Place Reward!] [Twin Martial Souls: all attributes evolve to God Level!] [Blue Silver Emperor evolution--Blue Silver Divine Grass!] [Clear Sky Hammer evolution--Clear Sky Divine Hammer!] [Four God-Bestowed Soul Rings granted! No upper limit on their age!]
Boom!
In the picture, Tang San bathed in golden divine light.
The Blue Silver Grass behind him grew wildly. Its originally blue-gold leaves completely transformed into pure gold, and inexhaustible divine power flowed through every leaf.
It was a true deity of the plant kingdom.
The originally jet-black Clear Sky Hammer expanded tenfold. Its entire body turned dark gold, with destructive thunder wrapped around its hammerhead.
Four golden soul rings fused into his body.
Tang San threw back his head and let out a long roar. His aura surged higher and higher, instantly breaking through the bottleneck that had troubled him for so long.
Level 95! Level 96! Level 97!
At that moment, he truly entered the ranks of Peerless Douluo.
In the picture, Tang San gripped the divine hammer and stood upon divine grass, his gaze looking down upon the world.
"Twelfth Place?"
"I'll let the world know that even at Thirteenth Place, I am still the strongest!"
Tang San's voice spread across the continent through the Heavenly Curtain, filled with arrogant disdain.
Mo Family Mechanism City.
Watching Tang San's overbearing display on the Heavenly Curtain, Mozi merely curled his lips in disdain.
"Twin Martial Souls? All flash and no substance."
Mozi casually pressed several buttons on the control panel, recording data on Tang San's Martial Soul Evolution.
"That's all it is. It doesn't have much research value."
Gongsun Li blinked, somewhat puzzled.
At that moment, she clung to Li Xin's side like an affectionate kitten.
Her slender beautiful legs wrapped in Red Maple Silk Stockings boldly displayed their stunning curves.
The skin faintly visible beneath her skirt was white and smooth as snow.
She lightly tugged on Li Xin's sleeve, her voice soft and sweet.
"My lord, that Tang San looks very powerful."
"And didn't that Grandmaster say that Twin Martial Souls are the ceiling of talent in the Soul Master World?"
"Why does Old Mo say they're not that significant?"
As Gongsun Li spoke, she secretly observed Li Xin's expression.
When she saw that her lord did not push her away, sweetness immediately filled her heart like honey. She could not help pressing herself even closer, the soft sensation clearly passing through their clothes.
Li Xin said nothing. He merely reached out and played with those fluffy Rabbit Ears.
Seeing this, Mozi immediately understood and took over the explanation.
"Miss Gongsun, this is where that so-called 'Grandmaster' reveals his shallow knowledge."
"According to my research, the strength of a Martial Soul has no necessary connection to its quantity."
"Look at Tang San and Bibi Dong. They are powerful because the Clear Sky Hammer and Death Spider Emperor are top-tier Martial Souls in themselves."
"Even if they had only one Martial Soul, as long as they cultivated it to the utmost limit, they could still stand at the peak."
Mozi paused, and a hint of professional scorn entered his tone.
"Besides, from the perspective of my Mechanism Arts, Twin Martial Souls are actually a kind of 'deformity.'"
"The human body's meridians and Dantian both have limits to their capacity."
"Forcibly cramming in two Martial Souls not only easily causes energy conflicts, but also divides the cultivator's focus."
"The so-called invincibility of Twin Martial Souls is merely because ordinary people have never seen a true mountain."
After hearing Mozi's explanation, Gongsun Li nodded in sudden realization.
"So that's how it is."
"And that Grandmaster is still boasting about his invincible theories. How laughable."
Suddenly, as though she had thought of something, her bright, lively eyes turned toward Li Xin, and she asked worriedly.
"But my lord... you also have Twin Martial Souls, don't you?"
"Light and darkness... then your body..."
Li Xin's fingers slid down from her Rabbit Ears and gently pinched Gongsun Li's delicate cheek.
"I am different."
Before Li Xin could speak, Mozi hurriedly answered first, afraid that Gongsun Li might misunderstand his lord's divine might.
"Miss Gongsun, you've got it wrong!"
"How could my lord's situation possibly be compared with those ordinary people?"
A fanatical light gleamed in Mozi's eyes.
"My lord's Light Xin form and Dark Xin form, either one taken alone, is supreme power that transcends the dimensional limits of this world!"
"It is not that my lord's talent can only accommodate two Martial Souls."
"It is that this world's system of laws is too fragile!"
"It was forced to divide into two forms just to barely be carried by this world!"
"Tang San has two buckets holding two buckets of water."
"But my lord has forcibly compressed an entire Vast Ocean into this body!"
Gongsun Li only half understood, but she understood one thing.
Her lord was the strongest.
That was enough.
She raised her head and looked at Li Xin's incomparably handsome profile, the adoration in her eyes nearly overflowing.
"I knew it, my lord is the best~"
Li Xin shook his head helplessly but did not refute her.
Mozi's words were somewhat exaggerated, but the reasoning was indeed correct.
