"Father, why don't you take a guess?"
Xu Tianming blinked at Xu Xiang and said playfully.
"Your Martial Soul was already a mutated Body Martial Soul, and you absorbed a five-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant."
Xu Xiang could not help glaring at Xu Tianming.
"You think your old man is some kind of god? How could I possibly guess that?"
As he spoke, he could not help lightly knocking him on the head.
"Quit talking nonsense and tell me already."
If it was knowledge related to Soul Tools, Xu Xiang considered himself fairly well informed.
But when it came to mutated Body Martial Souls, that truly fell within his blind spot.
"Father, Mother, you both know that my Martial Soul is the Sun Moon Twin Pupils, so my soul skills possess two forms."
Xu Tianming pursed his lips and said seriously,
"My first soul skill—or rather, all of my soul skills—are divided into Sun Form and Moon Form."
"Two forms? Could it be Twin Martial Souls?"
Kong Yue released Xu Tianming and could not help covering her mouth.
The Kong Family's highest-ranking ancestor, as well as the Sun Moon Empire's foremost Soul Tool expert, possessed Twin Martial Souls.
That was why she was so excited.
"Not Twin Martial Souls. It simply has two forms."
Xu Tianming shook his head and continued,
"The Sun Form's first soul skill is called Radiant Beam: it fires a scorching mental beam from my eyes, with extremely strong penetrating power. Upon hitting a target, it can ignite the opponent's body and spiritual power."
"The Moon Form's first soul skill is called Mystic Night Ice Bind: it likewise releases a silver mental beam from my eyes. Upon hitting a target, it forcibly interrupts the opponent's soul skill and leaves them stunned. The duration of the stun depends on the gap between my spiritual power and theirs."
Kong Yue and Xu Xiang exchanged looks, then both sucked in a breath after a moment.
The very idea of a Martial Soul possessing two forms already seemed absurd to them.
Yet the soul skills corresponding to those two forms were also this powerful. It had completely surpassed their understanding of Martial Souls.
"It's just a pity that the two forms cannot coexist, so the two soul skills cannot be used at the same time."
Xu Tianming shook his head regretfully.
"You brat, don't push your luck!"
Xu Xiang could not help rolling his eyes.
"Most Spirit Masters neither have methods for cultivating spiritual power nor the habit of doing so. Both of your soul skills are related to spiritual power."
"You naturally suppress the majority of Spirit Masters!"
Xu Xiang was not wrong. Although Spirit Masters during the era of the Peerless Tang Sect placed some importance on spiritual power,
there were not actually many Spirit Masters who cultivated it. The main ways Spirit Masters improved their spiritual power were by absorbing Soul Rings and increasing their Soul Power.
"Heh!"
Xu Tianming rubbed his head. In truth, he was quite satisfied with his soul skills.
"Yue'er, go have the kitchen prepare a feast."
Xu Xiang turned his gaze toward Kong Yue.
"Tianming absorbed a five-thousand-year first Soul Ring and gained such powerful soul skills. We should celebrate."
"I understand."
Kong Yue nodded. Only after reaching out and pinching Xu Tianming's cheek once more did she slowly leave the City Lord's Mansion's rear garden.
"Father, I'm filthy. I need to wash up!"
After watching his mother leave, Xu Tianming tugged on Xu Xiang's sleeve.
"Mhm, go ahead."
Xu Xiang looked at Xu Tianming's clothes, which were covered in blood and scabs, and nodded as well.
Upon hearing that, Xu Tianming immediately ran toward his room.
"Heaven truly blesses our Sun Moon Empire."
Looking at his son's disappearing back, Xu Xiang suddenly let out a long sigh.
The City Lord's Mansion lacked nothing. In only a short while, Xu Tianming was already lying in a bathtub filled with hot water.
"So comfortable!"
Feeling the warm water flow over his skin, Xu Tianming could not help letting out a moan.
[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully absorbed the Evil Eye Tyrant Soul Ring. Your reward has been delivered!] [One Random Title Douluo Summoning Card (can only summon Title Douluo). Use it?]
Hearing the system prompt in his ear, Xu Tianming did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked,
"System, what do you mean by only summoning Title Douluo?"
[A Title Douluo Summoning Card can only summon the Title Douluo themselves. Items they carry that are not fused with them, such as divine artifacts, cannot be summoned together!]
"Do Spirit Bones that have already been absorbed count?"
Xu Tianming continued questioning.
After all, a Title Douluo with Spirit Bones and one without them were completely different kinds of Title Douluo.
Especially in the era of the Peerless Tang Sect, where Title Douluo were everywhere, a Title Douluo without a full set of Spirit Bones was simply a disgrace to Title Douluo!
[Spirit Bones that have already been absorbed by a Spirit Master can naturally be summoned together.]
"That's good!"
Xu Tianming breathed a sigh of relief.
If he summoned a bare-bones Title Douluo without any Spirit Bones, he would truly cry.
"Will the summoned Title Douluo be loyal to me?"
This was an even more crucial question. If he summoned an uncontrollable Title Douluo, Xu Tianming would be in serious trouble.
[Summoned characters are absolutely loyal to the Host.]
"Now I'm completely relieved."
Xu Tianming issued his command to the system.
"System, use the Title Douluo Summoning Card."
[Host has successfully used the Title Douluo Summoning Card. Congratulations, Host, on summoning the Body Douluo Mu Ye!]
The instant the system's voice sounded, the air in the room seemed to freeze solid.
The next moment, the space before Xu Tianming rippled with visible transparent waves, like water struck by a stone.
At the center of those ripples, as the light twisted faintly, a lean and gaunt figure abruptly appeared before Xu Tianming.
The figure wore an ordinary gray robe, and his features looked somewhat honest and simple.
He looked like an utterly ordinary person. The only difference was that his hands seemed somewhat larger than those of an average person.
A hint of confusion flashed across the middle-aged man's face, but it quickly vanished.
Then, his gaze fell upon the curious-looking six-year-old lying in the bathtub, and a look of realization appeared in his eyes.
"Mu Ye greets Master!"
After saying that, Mu Ye bowed to Xu Tianming.
"Elder Mu, you're too courteous."
Soul Power surged through Xu Tianming's body, instantly evaporating all the water droplets on him. Without even putting on clothes, he jumped out of the bathtub and hurriedly helped Mu Ye up.
Even if loyalty was guaranteed, what if something went wrong?
Title Douluo were not to be slighted. That was no empty saying!
"I dare not accept being called Master. Elder Mu, just call me Tianming. That will feel more natural."
The smile on Xu Tianming's face bloomed like a chrysanthemum.
Still, it was no wonder he was so delighted. Mu Ye was the Sect Master of the Body Sect during the era of Legend of the Dragon King, a level ninety-four Title Douluo powerhouse.
If he had not been obsessed with Mecha research, his talent would never have stopped at level ninety-four!
