Twin Martial Souls

Chapter: Companion Martial Soul

"Oh, a boy?"

Like the vast majority of people, upon hearing his gender, Mu Ye wore an expression of great surprise.

Afterward, he shook his head and said with quite a bit of emotion.

"Kids these days really are growing up looking androgynous; how could anyone look at this and not think it's a little girl?"

Listening to the other party's muttering, Qiangu Wuji's face grew darker and darker.

Looking like this, could he blame himself?

Could he really blame himself??

He interrupted the other party.

"You must be Senior Mu Ye, right?"

Mu Ye nodded in reply.

Qiangu Wuji didn't ask why; he simply closed his eyes, golden light swirling within them as the Heavenly Six Eyes manifested.

Could it be that the other party had sensed that his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul wasn't a true Martial Soul in the traditional sense?

That's right, Qiangu Wuji's Spirit Eyes were not a true Martial Soul; strictly speaking, the Spirit Eyes were more like a branch Martial Soul derived from the Abyssal Brain.

Possessing dual Body Martial Souls—he could only say that this was truly a gift from the heavens.

Qiangu Wuji also knew that the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul held extraordinary significance for the Body Sect, so he wasn't surprised by the other party's reaction, remaining seated throughout, appearing quiet and well-behaved.

Qiangu Wuji did know about companion Martial Souls, much like the Light Shadow Dragon Dagger of Xie Xie in the original work.

Hearing this, Mu Ye was slightly stunned, and only then did he realize the issue.

After a moment of contemplation, Mu Ye spoke in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Qiangu Wuji didn't overthink it and quickly followed behind him.

Qiangu Wuji was left baffled by these words.

"Little guy, there seems to be something wrong with your Spirit Eyes, right?"

He was not only not old, but also extremely burly; even wearing loose robes, one could feel the explosive muscles hidden underneath.

Switching Martial Souls should logically change the spirit rings as well, but that didn't happen with Qiangu Wuji. If it were an ordinary person, they might be very confused, but Mu Ye was no ordinary person. Therefore, even though he felt it was strange, he didn't say anything, merely frowning before examining him carefully.

"Hmm."

"I mean, I have another brain Martial Soul. Is that the reason why you feel the Spirit Eyes are so strange?"

Missing something?

Qiangu Wuji frowned in confusion.

Hearing this, Qiangu Wuji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looking at you like this, you should know what a companion Martial Soul is, right?"

But he was different from himself; one could clearly feel that the Spirit Eyes were a Martial Soul.

Mu Ye withdrew his gaze, the expression on his face exceptionally vivid.

The Abyssal Brain naturally couldn't be seen from the outside. All Mu Ye could see was Qiangu Wuji's golden eyes brightening once more, followed by a faint fluorescent glow lingering around his body; other than that, there was no difference from before.

"Little guy, don't just stand outside, come in."

"What's wrong?"

Furthermore, through the power of the Heavenly Six Eyes, he could feel that the blood energy within Mu Ye was extremely vigorous, almost like a vast ocean.

Qiangu Wuji was stunned, not quite reacting to the other party's meaning.

Listening to the other party's exclamation, Qiangu Wuji asked in confusion.

However, he could also feel that his own situation was clearly more special. For instance, these two Martial Souls had a companion relationship, yet the spirit rings could only be attached to the brain, while the spirit skills were used through the eyes.

"I can feel that your Spirit Eyes are missing something. Although they appear in the form of a Martial Soul, they lack some of the unique traits inherent to a Body Martial Soul!"

When they evolve and derive other parts in the future, I fear similar situations will arise.

"Little guy, you really are a monster. Something with a probability infinitely close to zero has actually happened to you."

The greatest characteristic of a so-called companion Martial Soul is the ability to use dual Martial Souls simultaneously, and both Martial Souls only require a single spirit ring to be attached.

How should he describe this feeling? He felt that his Abyssal Brain was a central system providing energy, while his eyes were the weapons.

When reading the original work, his impression was that Mu Ye should have the image of a relatively ordinary little old man; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hide his identity and stay by Zhen Hua's side for so many years.

Seeing the other party acknowledge it, Qiangu Wuji couldn't help but size him up a few more times.

Mu Ye looked at him and said indifferently.

"Senior Mu Ye, actually I have another Body Martial Soul. Could that be the reason?"

Mu Ye's excitement didn't last long. Soon, he calmed down and, without further ado, walked forward and grabbed Qiangu Wuji's hand.

Why did this person always speak in riddles?

Seeing his bewildered expression, Mu Ye began to explain.

"Hmm?"

However, after truly meeting him, he realized how much the other person's image differed from what he had imagined.

"I've looked at your two Body Martial Souls. Strictly speaking, this isn't a dual Body Martial Soul; it's more like a Body Companion Martial Soul."

This time, Mu Ye heard clearly and fell silent for a moment, his gaze toward Qiangu Wuji becoming very complex.

While he was secretly sizing him up, Mu Ye suddenly turned and walked toward the house, beckoning him without looking back.

Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"A Body Companion Martial Soul?"

"Don't move around. I'm going to examine your body; it won't do you any harm."

Thinking about it this way, his martial soul did indeed fit the characteristics of a companion martial soul.

Qiangu Wuji didn't waste any words and directly switched out his Abyssal Brain.

Although Qiangu Wuji was not a beautiful woman...

"Before we begin, little guy, let me see your Body Martial Soul first. I heard from Zhen Hua that you are a rare possessor of a Three-Life Martial Soul."

His voice was muffled, as if it were being squeezed out from his throat.

But Qiangu Wuji's situation clearly involved only one martial soul possessing soul rings.

Seeing his expression, Mu Ye roughly knew that he didn't need to explain himself.

"So that's how it is. To think I would actually encounter such a miracle!"

Before long, Mu Ye let go of his hand, his expression strange.

"Yes, I am aware of that. However, Senior Mu Ye, I feel that mine is different from a typical companion martial soul because, as you can see, I only have one soul ring for both of my martial souls."

"What?"

The expression on Mu Ye's face froze, and he briefly doubted if something was wrong with his ears.

A Body Martial Soul is already one in ten thousand, and a dual Body Martial Soul has almost never appeared before.

That's right, although a companion martial soul is not a true twin martial soul in the literal sense, it is still two genuine martial souls; it's just that when soul rings are added, they are automatically added to both simultaneously.

"It's me, that's right."

Inside the room, the two sat opposite each other, the massive difference in their builds forming a sharp contrast, much like Beauty and the Beast.

After a long while, Mu Ye let out a long sigh.

Qiangu Wuji was startled, not knowing what the other party was about to do, and he tensed his body instantly.

"It really is Spirit Eyes..." Mu Ye stood up abruptly, his expression somewhat agitated. "Ten thousand years ago, our Body Sect had a connection with the first master of the Spirit Pagoda. His martial soul was also Spirit Eyes. To think that ten thousand years later, in my generation, I would be able to encounter a Spirit Eyes martial soul once again..."

"Switch out your brain martial soul and let me see it."

What exactly is going on here?

Mu Ye was a bit confused. As the sect master of the Body Sect and the continent-famous Body Douluo, this was the first time he had encountered a situation he couldn't even understand himself.

"By the way, Senior Mu Ye, what is the reason you asked me to come here?"

Qiangu Wuji couldn't figure out his own situation either, but he didn't dwell on it, choosing instead to rationally change the subject.
