"Twin Martial Souls!"
Xu Yunxiao and Mu Mengyu widened their eyes at this change, exchanging an incredulous look.
Since records began on the Sun Moon Continent, Twin Martial Souls had never appeared. Xu Tianyang's awakening of Twin Martial Souls had completely exceeded their expectations, bringing with it boundless delight.
"Quick, Yang'er, come test your Innate Soul Power."
After his excitement subsided, Xu Yunxiao took a blue crystal ball from his Soul Tool and hurried over to Xu Tianyang, holding it in both hands.
Within the formation, Xu Tianyang recovered from his shock and reached out to take the blue crystal ball. Immediately, a tremendous suction force burst from it. The Soul Power he had just awakened surged out like a flood finally finding an outlet.
Moments later, blue light emerged from the bottom of the crystal ball and filled it completely in the blink of an eye. It looked like a natural blue crystal, radiant and dazzling.
"Innate Full Soul Power!" The two voices rang out almost simultaneously.
Unlike his excited father and mother, Xu Tianyang had already been nearly certain of his Innate Full Soul Power talent after awakening Twin Martial Souls.
Twin Martial Souls—one an Innate Martial Soul, the Sun Pupil, and the other a top-tier Beast Martial Soul with a Destructive Attribute. With such a combination, Innate Full Soul Power hardly seemed worth mentioning.
Such talent would have ranked among the very best in Douluo Star's history, excluding those absurdly overpowered figures after Douluo 3.
"Good! Good!! Good!!!"
"Heaven blesses the Sun Moon, heaven blesses the Sun Moon! Hahahaha! The heavens have truly favored my Xu Family, granting our imperial house such a prodigious child."
Laughter rang throughout the Prince's Mansion. Xu Tianyang was lifted high into the air by Xu Yunxiao, whose face bore an excitement Xu Tianyang had never seen before.
It took quite a while before the excited Xu Yunxiao finally put Xu Tianyang down.
It had to be said that the early maturity of the Douluo Continent was inseparable from Martial Souls. Having just awakened his Martial Soul, Xu Tianyang had suddenly grown noticeably taller. Faint muscle definition had appeared on his body, and a trace of sharpness and dominance showed between his brows.
"Yang'er, release that new Martial Soul of yours and let your father and mother have a look..."
Xu Yunxiao looked at Xu Tianyang expectantly. As the Xu Family's inherited Martial Soul, the Purple Blazing Heaven Dragon's characteristics had long been thoroughly understood by the imperial family.
Yet Xu Tianyang's second Martial Soul had appeared for the first time. It was a Martial Soul mutated from the imperial family's Sun Martial Soul. Without understanding its attributes, how could they know how to cultivate it in the future?
"Father, Mother, my second Martial Soul is called the Sun Pupil. It possesses both Spiritual and fire attributes." As Xu Tianyang spoke, a thought stirred in his mind, and the Sun Pupil underwent Martial Soul Possession. His mind instantly became somewhat clearer, while the world before his eyes changed drastically.
As Soul Douluo, Xu Yunxiao and Mu Mengyu immediately sensed a wave of Spiritual Power radiating from Xu Tianyang's eyes.
"Such powerful spiritual fluctuations..." Xu Yunxiao's gaze flickered. Although Spiritual Attribute Martial Souls were exceedingly rare, given his status, he had naturally encountered quite a few Spirit Attribute Soul Masters. Yet he had never felt such powerful spiritual fluctuations from any of them.
Even more peculiar, Xu Tianyang's spiritual fluctuations carried a faint scorching sensation. This should have come from the fire attribute within the Sun Martial Soul, making the Sun Pupil's attacks even more terrifying and unpredictable.
"Husband, with Yang'er's talent, how should we cultivate him in the future?" After gaining a preliminary understanding of Xu Tianyang's talent, Mu Mengyu instead looked at Xu Yunxiao with hesitation.
After so many years as husband and wife, Xu Yunxiao could often tell what his wife was worried about with a single glance. His son's talent was a good thing, but it was simply too good. So good that even he did not know how to cultivate him.
He could teach the Purple Blazing Heaven Dragon, and the imperial family possessed the most complete inheritance for it. The Sun Pupil could also be cultivated according to the methods for Spiritual Attribute Soul Masters. Such Soul Masters were rare, but the Sun Moon Empire always had a few talents in that field.
But Twin Martial Souls... Twin Martial Souls had never appeared in the history of the Sun Moon Continent. They truly had no idea how to cultivate them. There was simply no experience to draw upon.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Yunxiao placed a large hand atop Xu Tianyang's head. Looking directly into the pair of eyes as bright as the blazing sun, he said softly, "Yang'er, what are your thoughts on cultivating your Martial Souls?"
"Twin Martial Souls have never appeared in history, so there is no way to look up how to cultivate them. You will have to explore everything yourself. No one in this world understands your Martial Souls better than you do. Tell Father what you are thinking."
Xu Tianyang's eyes flickered. The Sun Moon Empire might not have Twin Martial Souls, but the Douluo Continent did. When it came to cultivating Twin Martial Souls, he truly knew more than the people of the Sun Moon Empire.
Since records began, apart from the first person, who died because cultivating both Martial Souls simultaneously caused their Martial Soul origins to clash, no one had ever cultivated themselves to death.
The only question before him now was which Martial Soul to cultivate first.
Either the Sun Pupil or the Purple Blazing Heaven Dragon alone had the potential to let someone cultivate to Level 98.
After a brief consideration, Xu Tianyang slowly said, "Father, Mother, I plan to cultivate the Sun Pupil first."
Xu Tianyang had his own reasons. Having lived in the Sun Moon Empire for three years, he still had not determined exactly where he was in the timeline.
The Sun Moon Empire had no records whatsoever regarding the Douluo Continent. At this stage, the Sun Moon Continent's Soul Tool technology had yet to break through Level 9, and there were not even any records of Titled Douluo.
By his estimation, there was still a long time before the two continents collided.
Given the Sun Moon Empire's current strength, let alone nearly destroying the Douluo Continent's original three great empires as in the original story, it would be fortunate if they were not counterattacked instead.
There would be no need for Shrek's Limit Douluo to make an appearance either.
And in an era like this, the Body Sect's ancestor had likely not even been born yet. He would have to explore for himself how to cultivate his Innate Martial Soul and how to achieve its second awakening.
Even if, in the worst-case scenario, his Innate Martial Soul could not undergo a second awakening in the future, he still had a top-tier Beast Martial Soul as a safeguard and would possess the strength to challenge Level 99 someday.
After he explained his thoughts, Xu Yunxiao and Mu Mengyu looked at their son in surprise as he spoke eloquently. Even they had not expected Xu Tianyang to already possess such insight and knowledge.
"Hahahaha, good! My son has ambition." Xu Yunxiao patted Xu Tianyang's shoulder. "Yang'er, remember this: since you have made your decision, you must walk this path with unwavering resolve."
"I understand, Father!"
"Mengyu, over the next few days, personally teach Yang'er the Meditation Method and help him adjust his condition. I will send someone to the Evil Demon Forest to catch an Evil Eye Tyrant for the Xu Family's prodigious child, to serve as his First Soul Ring." Xu Yunxiao rose to his feet and softly spoke to Mu Mengyu beside him.
At those words, expectation flashed through Xu Tianyang's eyes. Spiritual Attribute Soul Beasts were already rare, and Evil Eye Tyrants were the finest among them. They were supreme Soul Rings dreamed of by all Spiritual Attribute Soul Masters. Yet because the Evil Demon Forest was ruled by the Evil Emperor, few Soul Masters dared enter it to capture an Evil Eye Tyrant, fearing they would provoke the Evil Emperor's wrath and be killed.
However, Xu Tianyang, who had been well-read in the imperial family's ancient texts since childhood, held another concern.
According to the information on the Sun Moon Continent that he had reviewed, there was not a single Titled Douluo in the world today. This was clearly somewhat unreasonable.
Anyone whose Soul Power was Innate Level 8 or higher upon Martial Soul awakening had a chance to break through to Titled Douluo. Throughout the Sun Moon Continent's history, there had certainly been no shortage of geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power. Even though the Sun Moon Continent focused on cultivating Soul Engineers, it should not have resulted in not even one Titled Douluo appearing.
After reviewing a vast number of documents, he had finally discovered the problem. Since records began, a massive Beast Tide had erupted from the Evil Demon Forest every hundred years. These periods were also when large numbers of high-level Soul Masters on the Sun Moon Continent fell.
Only the Evil Emperor could have caused a Beast Tide on such a scale.
As for why those powerful experts did not simply flee, escaping beneath the gaze of a Spiritual Attribute Level 99 Peerless Douluo like the Evil Emperor was harder than ascending to heaven.
After all, Qian Daoliu had slaughtered so many that the Douluo Continent's top experts had suffered a generational gap.
"Father, another Spiritual Attribute Soul Beast would be fine. It does not have to be an Evil Eye Tyrant."
Having controlled the court for many years, Xu Yunxiao saw through his son's worries at a glance. He smiled and patted Xu Tianyang's shoulder. "Do you think Father would not know what you have thought of?"
"It is only a hundred-year Evil Eye Tyrant. As long as we act discreetly, we will not alert the Evil Emperor. Besides, you are lucky. A few years ago, the military discovered a hundred-year Evil Eye Tyrant on the outskirts of the Evil Demon Forest."
"You also know about our tense relationship with the Evil Demon Forest, so the military has always sent people to monitor them. There will not be any major disturbance."
"Yang'er, you were granted to my Xu Family by heaven itself. Father will certainly lay the strongest foundation for you, so that you may witness even greater heights in the future."
Staring at the expectation in Xu Yunxiao's eyes, Xu Tianyang nodded heavily. A longing rose in his heart—a longing for power.
