Conditions for Twin Martial Souls!

He painstakingly schemed precisely to take this peerless genius with Innate Full Soul Power under his wing, thereby proving his much-maligned theories and washing away years of humiliation!

He would certainly not give up just like that! This might be the only opportunity of his lifetime!

A fierce obsession sustained him. He took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and once again desperately squeezed out a seemingly calm yet actually stiff smile.

He gave two light coughs, attempting to interrupt the harmonious atmosphere ahead.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Fu Shiyan and Tang San turned their heads to look at him simultaneously, their gazes both carrying obvious impatience.

Yu Xiaogang put his hands behind his back, striving to straighten his somewhat hunched spine and striking his usual pose of a falsely aloof scholar, as if he hadn't just been repeatedly refuted to the point of speechlessness by Tang San and Fu Shiyan.

His gaze landed on Tang San, his tone carrying a deliberate indulgence and mystery:

"Child, I do not know why you harbor such deep prejudice against me. You must have listened to some untruthful rumors about me from the outside world, right?

Alas, public opinion is a formidable thing!" He sighed, attempting to foster the image of a wronged senior expert.

However, Tang San merely looked at him coldly, his gaze as though watching a clown performing on stage, without the slightest ripple of emotion.

Yu Xiaogang felt somewhat spooked by Tang San's icy gaze, the smile on his face growing even stiffer. He could only dry-cough twice to mask his awkwardness, steeling himself as he continued to speak:

"Ordinarily, if you insisted on acting thus, with my status, I would not deign to bicker with a child. However..."

His tone took a sharp turn, a flash of self-perceived insight darting through his eyes. He stared fixedly at Tang San, lowering his voice and speaking with peerless confidence:

"If I am not mistaken, you... should possess Twin Martial Souls, correct?"

He stared fixedly at Tang San's face, anticipating the shock, horror, and eventual worshipful submission that would follow upon hearing his own "Grandmaster" insight.

However, what he saw instead was a chilling, murderous intent that suddenly burst forth from Tang San's eyes, practically condensing into solid form!

That gaze was frigid and sharp, causing Yu Xiaogang to instantly feel as though he had fallen into an icy abyss. His heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively took half a step back!

This... how could this possibly be the gaze of a six-year-old child?! Yu Xiaogang felt horrified inside.

Yet that killing intent flashed and vanished instantly. Tang San rapidly regained his composure, as if what had just been seen was merely Yu Xiaogang's own illusion.

Yu Xiaogang forcibly steadied himself, assuming that his eyes had simply played tricks on him just now. He pulled himself together, preparing to continue tossing out the rhetoric he had prepared, using the secret of Twin Martial Souls and future cultivation plans to "entice" Tang San.

However, Fu Shiyan at the side could no longer bear to watch.

"Enough."

Fu Shiyan's clear, resonant voice rang out, carrying undisguised mockery and cutting off the words Yu Xiaogang was about to utter.

"This 'illustrious' Grandmaster, if I'm not mistaken, your sole basis for concluding this child has Twin Martial Souls is your belief that ordinary Blue Silver Grass is a 'wasted martial soul' and utterly incapable of giving birth to Innate Full Soul Power, am I right?"

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed abruptly. This was precisely the cornerstone of his core theories!

Without waiting for him to admit or refute it, Fu Shiyan continued in a flat tone:

"If you truly base it on this, then I can only say that the outside world's evaluation of you is not unfounded, and perhaps... is even somewhat conservative."

Fu Shiyan shook his head slightly, his gaze carrying pity.

"I have heard that in his early years, Grandmaster once had the good fortune to peruse some core texts and top-secret records of Spirit Hall.

Did you truly not see the explicit accounts regarding the conditions for generating Twin Martial Souls?"

Fu Shiyan's voice clearly entered the ears of everyone present, and also reached the ears of a Shadow Guard lurking in the shadows.

"The inheritance of martial souls primarily stems from the parents.

Under normal circumstances, a child's martial soul will inherit the relatively stronger or more dominant side from both parents.

Meanwhile, the emergence of Twin Martial Souls must satisfy two extremely harsh prerequisites:

"First, the martial soul qualities of both parents must be extremely close, one might even say on the exact same tier!

Only thus will the bloodlines of two powerful martial souls not devour one another or cause one side to be thoroughly suppressed during inheritance, making simultaneous manifestation possible!

"Second, the greater the difference in the attributes and types of the parents' martial souls, the higher the probability of mutations and twins arising will correspondingly increase. However, this must be established on the foundation of the first rule—namely, parity in martial soul quality!

"Simply put, if there is a clear gap in quality between the parents' martial souls—for instance, one is a top-tier martial soul while the other is merely an ordinary martial soul or even... a wasted martial soul,"

Fu Shiyan deliberately put heavy emphasis on "wasted martial soul", glancing at Yu Xiaogang's instantly paled face,

"Then the probability of generating Twin Martial Souls approaches infinity... wait, infinitely close to zero!

Even if both conditions of quality parity and vastly different attributes are simultaneously met, the probability of a descendant being born with Twin Martial Souls is merely one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand!"

Fu Shiyan's gaze was like a torch, staring straight at Yu Xiaogang, whose body had begun to tremble slightly, as he delivered the final, fatal blow:

"Therefore, respected Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, please use your martial soul theories that you 'studied for decades' to tell me—how on earth did you deduce with such absolute certainty from the two pieces of information of a 'wasted martial soul' Blue Silver Grass and Innate Full Soul Power that this child must possess a second martial soul whose quality is sufficient to rival the Blue Silver Grass...

Oh no, according to your theories, sufficient to rival a 'wasted martial soul'?"

"The logic of your deduction is fundamentally built entirely upon your own delusions!

I had long since heard tales of you and originally intended to say no more, but observing you today...

You didn't even manage to copy things correctly!"

"No!!!

Impossible!!!

My theories cannot be wrong!!!

It's you! You are spouting nonsense!!"

Yu Xiaogang was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, emitting a hysterical scream. The spiritual pillar and theoretical foundation upon which he relied for survival completely collapsed under Fu Shiyan's well-reasoned and core-piercing refutation!

Extreme agitation and the shock of shame caused his vision to blacken. Qi and blood surged in reverse, and he actually coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood straight away, falling straight backward and fainting on the ground, completely unconscious.

Upon seeing this, Fu Shiyan and Tang San didn't even deign to give the disheveled and unconscious Yu Xiaogang on the ground another glance.

"Let's go."

Fu Shiyan said indifferently, turning to walk outside Nuoding Academy without the slightest intention of entering the academy.

Tang San took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the intense urge to go up and deliver another blow while Yu Xiaogang was unconscious.

He knew that now was not the time; he could not bring unnecessary trouble upon his master and himself.

He cast one final, icy glance at Yu Xiaogang on the ground, as if wanting to carve the man's appearance into his heart, before quickly following in Fu Shiyan's footsteps.

Master and disciple, one in front of the other, departed straight from the gates of Nuoding Academy, leaving only the unconscious Yu Xiaogang behind.

Only after seeing the two of them leave did the doorman in the distance dare to come forward and check on Yu Xiaogang's condition.
